Chapter 73: The First Lesson of School

Previous Chapter

In the small bungalow at No. 8 Privet Road, there was a gasp on the stairs leading to the second floor.

"Isn't it... I'm not mistaken... It's dragon scabies! Dragon scabies is coming! Ron was incoherent, and Ginny covered his mouth, and Harry looked curiously at the headmaster, who looked like a Santa Claus, with a long beard!

"Hello, Headmaster Dumbledore, it's a pleasure to meet you," Anna quickly took Dumbledore's outstretched hand, showing the appropriate amount of excitement to hide the embarrassment of not daring to look the other person in the eye.

Lena heard the voice and walked over as she took off her apron, "Anna, who is this?" ”

"Headmaster Dumbledore of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry," Anna stepped back to the side, giving up her spot.

"Oh! Headmaster Dumbledore! Lena and Dumbledore shook hands and introduced herself, "I'm Anna's mother, Lena. Lawrence, I'm a Muggle, but I know your business! ”

Dumbledore laughed, "Miss Lawrence, I know you, Boren's granddaughter, I once heard him talk about..."

Lena was a little surprised, "My grandfather? Do you know him? ”

"Of course, he's a student of an old friend of mine," Dumbledore blinked mysteriously, "I think I saw him when I went to France last January..."

France? Friends? It won't be Nicol. Lemay, right? Great-grandfather was his student!? Anna felt that she was not impressed enough by the giant great-grandfather, and perhaps she had to add the word "super" before "giant".

"Not to mention that, Miss Lawrence, I need to take Anna on a trip to the wizarding world," he waved lightly, stopping Liana from speaking, "I know you're already familiar with the wizarding world, but it's a tradition for Hogwarts professors to greet young wizards living in Muggle worlds..."

"I see," Liana understood.

"What a passion! Let's go, Headmaster Dumbledore..."Anna looked a little impatient.

Because she didn't know if Dumbledore was doing "soul retribution" on Liana, if she stayed a little longer, maybe this clever old man would discover all kinds of abnormalities -

Then the butterfly effect will be bigger, maybe Voldemort will be eliminated in advance, the system will not change, there is one less Voldemort, and a new one will appear in a few years? At that time, the advantage of knowing the plot will be gone!

The point is... If Voldemort had gone too soon... If you do something bad, no one will take the blame?! Then how can you quietly reform the wizarding world?!

"Of course, Miss Lawrence, please take my arm." Dumbledore smiled harmlessly at Anna.

Anna waved her hand into the room, grabbed the white-bearded old man's arm, and disappeared into place amid the envious gazes of the stairs.

"That's Headmaster Dumbledore—Charlie, they don't usually see each other at school—" Ron was a little yearning, "I want to be taken with me..."

"Dream on, Mommy will arrange everything for us," George shrugged, "and even if a professor comes, the probability of winning Headmaster Dumbledore is very low." ”

"What's that?" Harry looked over, and he was a little hopeful that the headmaster would pick him up and get acquainted with the wizarding world.

"Bill and we teased Headmaster Dumbledore for being lazy... When he and his classmates were talking about welcoming new students in the common room, he found that none of the Muggle-born wizards in Gryffindor were greeted by the Headmaster..."

Fred shrugged, "That's why we said that the probability of meeting the principal is too low, even lower than the probability of our KS2 exam 'exceeding expectations'. ”

"That can still happen, right?" Harry was hopeful, "After all, you guys really did 'exceed expectations' on your KS2 exam. ”

"That's a miracle," George shook his head.

"Hear you say that... I don't want the headmaster to pick me up," Ron propped his chin, "that's too special... Makes me feel uncomfortable..."

"Not feeling well?" Ginny couldn't understand and tilted her head to look at him strangely, "Headmaster Dumbledore is just taking students to buy things, and not sending people to Azkaban, how can it be uncomfortable?" ”

Harry nodded, "And he looks cool." ”

Ron shrugged.

At the end of the shapeshift, Anna felt like she had been squeezed out of the tube and almost fell to the ground, but Dumbledore grabbed her in time.

Instead of the noise of the streets, Anna looked up and looked at the huge stone fortress in front of her, her pupils began to flutter.

The sea breeze, the waves, the Black Castle on a lonely island... How does this feel so like...

Azkaban?

"Deng... Headmaster Dumbledore—" Anna swallowed with difficulty, fiddling her wand in her coat pocket, "I thought we were going to Diagon Alley to buy something..."

"We do go to Diagon Alley," Dumbledore nodded approvingly, "but until then, we usually have a legal education event for young wizards living in the Muggle world. ”

What's that? Anna looked incredulous.

"Visit Azkaban, Miss Lawrence, this building in front of you is home to hundreds of vicious criminals," Dumbledore walked forward, "I hope you will be able to achieve as much from this event as all the children in the past." ”

The bad old man is very bad, Anna dares to vouch for the memory of 'Ma Dongmei', Harry Potter novels one to seven, and there is absolutely no mention of any legal education activities to be carried out in Azkaban!

Anna thought to herself, Dumbledore had a good chance of guessing what he had done... However, it seems that he is preparing to focus on education first...

"Of course, I must study hard and experience it carefully," Anna panicked, but she felt that she could not coax it.

Treading on the wet ground, the two came to the gate of the fortress, and as soon as they approached, the door opened automatically, and an Auror dressed in black ran over.

"Headmaster Dumbledore, welcome to the inspection." He glanced at Anna a little strangely, shook his head, and didn't say much.

"Don't worry too much about us, Diel, go ahead and get your hands on it, we'll just take a look." Dumbledore patted the Aurors on the shoulder.

There was a kind of ease with visiting the mall to play the sales clerk, and Anna complained as she followed Dumbledore.

She looked around and looked here, the atmosphere was screaming more than a screaming shack, and perhaps it could have earned the title of 'Britain's scariest place'.

"Yes..."The Auror was a little worried, thought for a moment, and then turned to leave, after all, this is the greatest white wizard of this century, what can happen? Could it be that he could still help the prisoner escape?

"He was a former Gryffindor student, and he was very good," Dumbledore explained, leading Anna up the stone staircase.

The cold smell was mixed with the smell of food and the sea breeze, and the groans of the criminals could be faintly heard.

Dumbledore grabbed Anna's arm thoughtfully, "Don't be afraid, Miss Lawrence, this is just an educational event. ”

Hehe, Anna didn't know what to say, and reluctantly gave him a smile.

Something gray flew in the sky, and the more the two of them walked up, the more Anna could feel a sense of despair beginning to spread.

Half of the Dementor's effect came from the steep staircase, with Anna panting on her knees.

"Then it's on this level," Dumbledore walked into the passage of his cell.

Anna followed him, and could see that every damp solitary cell was filled with people, dressed in rags, sitting or lying, some crying, some digging into the stone wall with their fingernails...

The only thing they had in common was a huge gray mass floating in front of them.

"This floor is filled with prisoners who have abused the dark arts and done great harm to the wizarding world, or the Muggle world," Dumbledore paused, "and some Death Eaters. ”

He found Anna interested in what was on the faces of the prisoners, "That's the Dementors, they're very evil creatures that can suck people's happy emotions... If you are kissed by them..."

"Then I'm going to throw up!" Anna replied.

Dumbledore was amused, "Their kisses suck people's souls." ”

The laughter attracted the attention of some Dementors floating in the sky, and it was so shameless that someone could laugh in their own field!

A Dementor charged at Dumbledore in a menacing manner.

Dumbledore pulled out his wand, and some blue mist solidified at the tip of the wand, and before Anna could see what shape it was, the Dementors had already turned around and left.

"It's a protector spell that can effectively banish Dementors, and it's beautiful when it actually unfolds, but I won't show it much here."

Anna noticed that the Dementors in one of the cells closest to him were also scared away by the Dumbledore Headmaster's Patronus Charm, and the long-haired man in the corner shook his head.

Headmaster Dumbledore also noticed this, "I hope the Ministry of Magic doesn't trouble me." ”

He took a closer look at the man's face and sighed, "He was also a Gryffindor student, a very good boy. ”

With her thin body, sallow skin, and Dumbledore's exclamation, Anna felt like she had guessed who it was.
