Chapter 47: A Conversation with Dumbledore

Dumbledore's office was located on the eighth floor of Hogwarts, and he followed Dumbledore through two oak doors, up a marble staircase, and stopped at a stone monster erected in the middle of the hallway. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Whew!" Dumbledore slowed down, he was tired, and said to Bruce with a smile, "I'm so sorry, Bruce!" I'm older, this distance is too far for me, I really miss when I was younger, when it was not difficult to go up to the tenth floor in one go! ”

Bruce smiled and said, "It's okay, Professor Dumbledore!" ”

At the same time, he said: "I'm damned!" I also went up to the tenth floor in one breath, and you always ate the new cover in the cover! ”

Dumbledore smiled and said to the statue, "Chilled soda!" ”

The stone monster suddenly jumped to the side, and the wall behind him split in half, revealing a moving spiral staircase behind it. Dumbledore walked up, Bruce followed, and at the end of the stairs there was a wooden door with a brass knocker, which was Dumbledore's office.

After entering, the first thing Bruce saw was the photos of the previous headmasters on the round office wall, some of the people in it were resting, some were looking at the books in their hands, and "living photos" could be seen everywhere at Hogwarts, but it was still shocking to see so many people gathered together!

The table with slender legs was home to a number of delicate silverwares, swirling with jetting mist. Bruce looked at the silverware and couldn't help but think, "I'll go, the spray spins...... It's so wicked! ”

On a shelf behind the table was the dirty Sorting Hat, and next to it was a glass case with a fine silver longsword inside. Opposite the glass case is a black cabinet. But the brightest thing is the fiery red phoenix perched on a tall gilded perch behind the door!

The phoenix is a mythical beast in China. Even if the phoenix in the west lacks a trace of oriental charm, it is also the existence of all things.

"It's worthy of Dumbledore, and he actually raised a phoenix as a pet!" Bruce sighed.

"This is Fox, my little friend!" Dumbledore noticed Bruce and said with a smile.

"This is the first time I've seen a phoenix, and it's really beautiful!" ”

Fawkes let out a crisp chirp like the sound of a flute, and Dumbledore smiled and said, "Fawkes is thanking you for the compliment!" ”

"Huh!" Bruce laughed, "You're welcome! ”

"That's it! Bruce, please sit down here, I think we can start talking! Dumbledore sat down at his desk and said.

Bruce walked over and sat down across from him and said, "Thank you, Professor Dumbledore!" ”

Dumbledore smiled and said, "You're welcome! I've heard a lot of professors say that you've got a waiter at Tom's Leaky Cauldron who is a good chatter and mingles with a lot of adult wizards! ”

Bruce said, "No way, Tom has very few peers there, I can only talk to the grown-ups!" Fortunately, they are all very kind people and willing to chat with me! ”

Dumbledore said, "I remember that you should have lived in an orphanage, how did you get to Tom!" ”

Bruce told Dumbledore what he had said before, with a little trimming.

"Oh! So that's it! Dumbledore still had that indifferent expression and said, "You're a student of Ollivanders, no wonder you can make wands!" ”

"Ahh Bruce looked at Dumbledore in surprise, making wands except in Ollivanders is in the "Room of Requirement", Bruce would not think that Dumbledore would be bored enough to spy on Ollivander's wand shop, which means that Dumbledore actually knew that he was making wands in the "Room of Requirement".

But Bruce had read it in the book before, and even the enchanted "Living Point Map" couldn't detect the people in the "Room of Requirement".

Bruce suddenly felt a chill, and in front of the white-bearded old man, he seemed to be a piece of transparent glass.

Dumbledore smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, my child! Know that if you've lived here for decades, you'll know everything about this castle too! The Room of Requirement was designed by the builders of the school, and it was built for students who needed help, so you didn't break the discipline! I also went in quietly...... Yes! When was that, it's been a long time! What a nostalgia! ”

Bruce looked at the self-absorbed Dumbledore and said to himself: "I'm not afraid of violating discipline, this old guy is still a voyeur!" ”

"That...... Professor, I would like to ask you to come to me to talk about these things? Bruce asked cautiously.

"Oh! I'm so sorry! It's easy to get distracted when you think of the good things of the past! Dumbledore laughed, "Let's get down to business, Bruce, can you tell me about the spells you use against trolls?" ”

"Ahh Bruce looked at Dumbledore in surprise, he didn't expect it to be the question, "Professor, didn't you know just now?" ”

Dumbledore smiled, "There is still magical energy in the air, of course you can feel it, and you can do it in the future!" But I don't know how many times you've used the spell! ”

Bruce said, "Alright! There are probably a dozen of them! I don't remember exactly! ”

"It's amazing that you can still stand after a dozen consecutive spells!" Dumbledore sighed.

Bruce frowned and said, "Professor Dumbledore, is there anything wrong with this?" These are just the basics! ”

Dumbledore waved his hand and said, "No, no! This proves that you are very good, and a lot of advanced spells come from these basic things, and you must know that every first-year student can master these spells. But if a first-year freshman casts a spell continuously, he may not even reach it ten times and will be tired! Whereas...... You don't seem to have any of that! ”

Hearing this, Bruce suddenly remembered that he had trained his "infancy" as a child, and he said, "Professor Dumbledore, can you tell me more about it?" Because I'm confused! ”

"Absolutely!" Dumbledore stood up and walked over to the teapot to get a cup of tea, and said, "Every wizard is born with magic in his body, can you imagine?" The magic contained in a newborn baby is more powerful than that of an adult wizard, and it sounds incredible, but that's exactly what it is! ”

Bruce continued, "So you can't learn magic until the magical energy in your body weakens, that is, after the age of 11!" ”

On his first day in Diagon Alley, Ollivander told Bruce this, but not in as much detail as Dumbledore!

Dumbledore nodded and said, "Very smart, you're right!" After the age of 11, the magical energy is stable, and you can start learning! ”

"I'm sorry, Professor! Excuse me, many people still use magic until the age of 11! Bruce said.
