Chapter 116: The New Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor
An explosion rang out inside Hogwarts Castle.
Black flames burst into flames, and the spire of Hogwarts Castle began to sink slowly, drowning in flames.
But the fallen buildings, before they fell to the ground, were blocked by an invisible wall.
This saved the students who were about to enter the castle from being attacked.
All the young wizards huddled together in a frustrated huddle as Dumbledore appeared in the gap on the fourth floor of the castle.
Voldemort was in a poor state at this time, and Quirrell's soul was about to collapse.
He waved his wand, black flames tumbling like boiling, and a huge black python bit towards Dumbledore.
A flash of red light shot out of Dumbledore's wand, confronting the black serpent that was enveloping the thunderbolt.
The black snake shattered at the touch of a button and turned into nothingness.
Voldemort was covered in a black wind, turned around and flew towards the sky.
Instead of chasing, Dumbledore aimed his wand at the castle.
"Back to normal!"
The flames were gone, and the shattered building was once again restored to its original state.
Everyone looked at Dumbledore in awe, the headmaster's strength was still so strong!
William looked at Dumbledore thoughtfully, it stands to reason that the strength of a wizard of this age should drop sharply.
But Dumbledore doesn't seem to be affected by age.
He suddenly remembered the stories Nicol had told him, about a certain strongest wand.
……
……
Today is destined to be an unforgettable day.
William Stark scored 260 points at the Quidditch Pitch, breaking the highest score ever scored at Hogwarts and leading the team to the final.
Later, he killed a giant python in the arena.
Defeat the House of Slytherin in a Quidditch arena and slay the Serpent, the symbol of Slytherin.
The two things that are obviously not causally connected, on the whole, seem to be connected, and there is a hint of legend invisibly.
William's popularity skyrocketed, and his Hogwarts fan base grew to the point of fanaticism.
Roger Davis told people everywhere that he and William scored 270 points together, and this shamelessness has also reached a certain level.
Soon, another rumor spreads through the school: the Boy Who Doesn't Die has stopped the mysterious man from stealing the Philosopher's Stone.
However, most people don't believe this rumor, because everyone saw the situation at that time.
Dumbledore stood in the flames, repelling the mysterious wizard so that no one could see where Potter was.
Principal's Office.
William sat in his chair and asked, "How is Harry?" ”
"Harry is fine." Dumbledore smiled with satisfaction, "At the last minute, I stopped him from swallowing the Philosopher's Stone, and he will probably need to stay in the hospital for a while."
It is inconvenient for me to go and see him, or Madam Pomfrey will take a feather duster and kick me out. ”
William bowed slightly, looking at the philosopher's stone on the table.
The stone was dull in color, almost devoid of luster.
This is a sign of a lack of magic.
This is normal, the Philosopher's Stone is not a perpetual motion machine, and it is impossible to consume mana forever, but it does not need to replenish mana.
This kind of thing will disappear after a while.
And the time that can be used is related to the refiner, if the refiner's skill is not good, the quality of the magic stone will be very poor, and the magic power will be exhausted in a few days.
Similarly, having a Philosopher's Stone does not mean being immortal.
The Philosopher's Stone is only an important part of the elixir of life, and it still needs to be boiled.
"I will publicly announce that this Philosopher's Stone has been destroyed." Dumbledore said lightly.
William didn't look surprised.
Nicol had told him about it.
It's also a good way to avoid more hassle coming to your door.
But Nicol didn't just die, he said more than once that he didn't live enough.
He needed to refine a new Philosopher's Stone, which is why he found William.
"What about Professor Snape?" William asked.
"He said it was unfair to Ravenclaw to have a basilisk bothering today, and asked for a rematch."
The shameless man William had seen a lot, and it was the first time he had seen Snape so shameless.
In William's words: You can't be too Snape.
Dumbledore smiled, "According to the rules, of course you can rematch, if both deans agree." ”
"Professor Flitwick left it up to me." William smiled, "One more game, of course I still have the confidence to win, but let's give Slytherin a little face."
Otherwise, the next time you break the record for the largest point difference. ”
Dumbledore nodded, "Are you confident of winning the championship?" ”
"Of course."
"It's a pity." Dumbledore was unhappy, "Gryffindor didn't make it to the final. ”
William shrugged, "Even if Gryffindor makes it to the final, they won't win, and when the final starts, Harry will still be in a hospital bed." ”
William suddenly had a hunch that the Gryffindor Quidditch team with Potter would not go too well every year.
"The game is settled, but what about the basilisk?" Dumbledore crossed his hands and leaned back in his chair easily.
William sighed and said bitterly, "You can give Professor Snape some, but if I need any medicine, he must give it to me unconditionally." ”
"Of course." Dumbledore complimented, "Son, you're really good.
I think you'll once again receive a 'Special Contribution to the School Award', which is a remarkable achievement. ”
William was unfazed and had a steady state of mind.
This kind of thing is the same as a pennant, and after getting it once, he doesn't care much about it.
William looked up and saw a job advertisement on the table.
Dumbledore noticed William's gaze, and he exclaimed, "Our Defence Against the Dark Arts professors are always not enough. ”
"Is there a job offer?"
"Hmm...... Not at the moment, even though I've raised my salary by 30 percent. ”
Of course, no one will apply, this position is so dangerous.
William is also curious about who will be the next unlucky one.
"By the way, remember Lockhart?"
William thought for a moment and said, "I remember that he also wrote me several times inviting me to his book launch. ”
"Great." Dumbledore said happily, "It's good that you have a friendship, can you help me write a letter inviting him to come to Hogwarts as a professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts." ”
"I wrote, will he come?" William raised an eyebrow, he didn't think he had so much influence.
"Yes." Dumbledore said confidently, "Of course, you'd better hint a little more, being a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor will help sell new books......"
William was speechless for a moment, and he said, Well, Hogwarts doesn't seem to charge tuition, but in fact, he secretly doesn't know how many kickbacks he has taken from Diagon Alley.
Sure enough, now it's time to eat Lockhart kickbacks again.
"By the way, speaking of writing letters, Professor, have you ever thought about changing the content of your Hogwarts acceptance letter a little?" William said suddenly.
"What's wrong?"
"The content is so old-fashioned that it barely keeps up with the times." William shook his head slightly, "I've heard that many students, when they first see the acceptance letter, want to transfer to Babston to go to school.
Can't you polish it, it's very bad for our admissions in the UK. ”
"Oh, do you have any good advice?" Dumbledore said with interest.
William quickly wrote a large string of words on the paper and handed it to the headmaster.
The headmaster looked at it with relish.
William said "good night" and got up to leave.
