Chapter Eighty-Three: Slytherin's Talisman
Professor Barbling's sudden manipulation caused William to be kicked out of the library by Mrs. Pince.
And let him not enter for three days!
Fortunately, William was fast, otherwise Mrs. Pince might have wielded a feather duster and used a set of gossip sticks to let him know the majesty of the librarian.
William found an empty classroom with no one in the room, sat down, and took out the Phoenix book.
The cover of the book, with a lock, raised part, is printed with a cute headshot by Phoenix Fawkes.
William first saw the Phoenix Book at Dumbledore.
After the Secret Room Incident, Dumbledore used the Phoenix Book to contact Jurali Hicks, the headmaster of Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
This kind of book is a precious alchemical item, similar in function to a two-way mirror, which can be used for long-distance conversation, and even more rarely, it can contact many people.
Dumbledore had established an international network to fight Grindelwald.
William also found a Phoenix Book in the safe house in Paris, and with Nicol's permission, he took it away.
Otherwise, Barburing wouldn't have been able to contact him.
When William opened the Phoenix Book, he found Professor Babling.
Barburing seemed to be observing something, and the corners of her mouth were hooked into a charming smile, no longer the delicate pant she had just had.
The witch in front of him was definitely the most beautiful woman William had ever seen, and she was even a few points prettier than Fleur.
Delicate facial features, burgundy eyes, long silver hair curly, draped over his shoulders like a waterfall.
She still had the conspicuous lapis lazuli amulet around her neckβit depicted a snake wrapped around a scepter.
"William, long time no see." Barburing greeted familiarly.
"Where are you, aren't you at Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?" William asked cautiously, frowning.
He didn't quite know what Professor Babling was doing with him out of the blue.
William was well acquainted with Barbling, and during the second time loop, the woman used to tutor him one-on-one, personally tutoring him for several years in ancient magic.
William was like a scumbag, squeezing out this treasure "grandma", and after getting out of the time loop, he felt that he had almost learned it, and he never went to her again.
Last year, I didn't even go to the Ancient Demon Writing class!
But looking at Barburing's appearance, it seems that she has a memory of him.
That's weird.
Dumbledore knew what was going on inside the time loop because he had an ancient meditation basin left behind by Hufflepuff.
That meditation basin was as important as the Sorting Hat, and it stored memories that past headmasters considered important.
The Ravenclaw Ring runs on the magic of Hogwarts Castle, and so does the Meditation Basin.
Therefore, as long as Dumbledore saves his memories in the meditation basin every day, those memories will not disappear directly due to the reset of the time loop.
But Barburing shouldn't have a memory.
"William, I'm at the U.S. Department of Magic's Capitol."
Professor Barburing gently turned the phoenix book in a different direction.
A brightly lit hall about 700 feet tall with a cathedral-like ceiling came into William's sight.
William hadn't been, but he was pretty sure it was the congressional hall of the U.S. Department of Magic.
The ceiling, in particular, is full of large areas of crystal, and the exaggerated lighting fixtures cast vivid light over the pearl-colored lacquer of the interior walls.
Only the Capitol building of the U.S. Ministry of Magic has this kind of deep-pocketed nouveau riche decoration.
The question is...... Why is the huge monument towering over the hall smoking?
William soon learned why.
I only heard a bang, a brilliant flash of light, and a bolt of lightning fell on the monument, and a large amount of black smoke completely drowned the surroundings.
Ba Buling pulled her silver bangs and chuckled, "Is it beautiful?" Let's go! β
ββ¦β¦β
Babling turned away from the U.S. Capitol.
Screen abort,
It took five minutes before it reappeared.
Barburing had already appeared in a house, she changed into a purple court dress, and after setting up the phoenix book on the shelf, she picked up the crystal goblet and sat on the gold velvet sofa.
She took a gentle sip of the scarlet liquid. Elegance in the action.
"I have fifteen minutes left, and I'm going to go to class, and I'm looking for you to explain something to you." Barburing explained.
"What's the matter?" William had a bad premonition.
"Newt took a Thunderbird from France to the United States, but halfway through, the Thunderbird went missing.
The Magical Congress of America was frightened by the events in Paris, so Newt was controlled by the Aurors before he passed through customs. β
William was speechless...... It turned out that Uncle Newt was really sent back to North America by Clegane.
But the Thunderbird escaped halfway through, and it flew all the way to England to find William!
And Newt was also detained by the American Aurors because of poor care. They had to conduct a danger assessment of Newt's black box before they could let him enter the United States.
"Then what are you doing in the Magical Congress of America?"
"Of course, it brought out Newt's things, such as this Phoenix book that you're talking to right now.
But I made my own decisions, so I had some skirmishes with the American Aurors. Barburing shrugged.
ββ¦β¦β
So the lightning just now was the magic released by Babling?
When she's out of breath, she's also fighting the Aurors?
Is this a skirmish? This is a terrorist attack!
"Then what are you looking for me?" William wondered, "Can't let me go to the Magical Congress of America to rob the prison, right?" β
"It's not." Professor Barburing shook his glass and said softly:
"Dumbledore should have told you that I came to America instead of Newt.
Now that he's been arrested again, he won't be able to get out for a short time, so I'll have to stay at Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, spying on Tom.
But it happened suddenly, Dumbledore didn't find a new teacher in advance, and the other professors had to teach me temporarily. β
"There aren't many professors who are really proficient in ancient magic texts, and a dean like McGonagall has a lot of things to do on her own, and it's okay to substitute for a short time......"
"You don't want me to substitute for me, do you?" William couldn't help but interrupt.
Barburing blinked, she snapped her fingers, and Shallot pointed her finger at William, pursed her lips and smiled, "Congratulations, Mr. Stark, you got it right!" β
"No, Sir! I'm only in the fourth grade, and I'm still an average student. β
"You dare to say you're just an ordinary student?" Barburing raised an eyebrow.
"Can a student go to the French Ministry of Magic to rob a prison, can he escape the Aurors, can he stop Arya Grindelwald?"
William shrugged. "Even if you say that, I'm just a student, how can I teach other people ancient magic scripts?"
"At Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, professors generally have young teaching assistants, who are occasionally available to help professors with their lessons." Barburing leaned lazily back on the couch.
"When you were in the time loop, I taught you ancient magic for so many years, and your level is definitely enough to teach them."
ββ¦β¦ Do you know Ravenclaw rings? William was surprised.
"Of course I do." Barburing smiled mysteriously, "The first time you came to me, I noticed the anomaly.
Hufflepuff is not the only meditation basin capable of storing memories. β
Barburing gently tugged at the amulet around her neck, and she spun around.
On the back shines a gorgeous, serpentine S.
William's eyes flickered.
Slytherin?
