Chapter 6: The Controversy in the Principal's Office
Zhang Jin was a little unnatural when he left, not because of Dumbledore, the white-bearded old man should have enough trust when he saw Severus's Patronus.
As a master of magic and a master of Patronus charms, Dumbledore understood what it meant to manifest in his deer form.
What really made Zhang Jin uncomfortable was Phoenix Fox, the phoenix who wanted to pluck his hair and tears as a potion material ATM before.
After Zhang Jin entered Dumbledore's Headmaster's office, the bird had been staring at him, and his eyes became more and more strange halfway, especially after Zhang Jin summoned the Patronus.
This can't help but make Zhang Jin wonder if Phoenix Fox can see something, after all, it is a legendary magical creature, no one knows how magical it is, Severus before is not clear, and the current Zhang Jin is also not clear.
This is something that was never mentioned in the original book.
But what is certain is that Phoenix's abilities are definitely more than just weight-bearing and healing and teleportation.
Therefore, just in case, it is better for me to come out as soon as possible, not only can I not pluck the feathers and tears in the future, but also stay away from the bird.
And after Zhang Jin left the principal's office, the principal's office was not as clean and peaceful as before, and the former principals who were sleeping soundly became energetic one by one.
"Is he the incoming Potions professor, the new Head of Slytherin? I remember him, a real Slytherin."
The person who said this was a serious-looking wizard, probably from Slytherin's headmaster, Phineas. Blake, who is said to have been a pure-blooded during his reign, was very unpopular.
"Hmph, maybe it's another Dark Lord, he didn't have that much magic when he was at Hogwarts" It's a raunchy scruffy wizard with a distinctly red nose and apparently a grumpy lord "I can sense he's hiding something, Dumbledore"
"You give me a go, leave my portrait," Phineas cried out angrily, as the previous red-nosed wizard had also taken advantage of his portrait, as if trying to use his fat size to overpower the other party.
"I think he can trust the Patronus Spirit, and as for concealment, everyone will have some little secrets, right?" A middle-aged witch above spoke, her voice was crisp, her face was much younger, she looked gentle and kind, "And he is very young and handsome, much more beautiful than you old bark, I really look forward to him becoming the headmaster of Hogwarts......"
While saying some inexplicable words in a gentle tone, and then leaking a nymphomaniac-like gesture, the other portraits shook unconsciously.
However, Dumbledore ignored the portraits, he just went to his pet phoenix, and once again resumed his usual long, gentle tone and said, "Did you find anything?" My friend, Fox? ”
Fawkes was still healthy and strong before the old man in the plot was shedding, and it flew up Dumbledore's shoulder, put its head in Dumbledore's ear and chirped a few times.
"Soul? Do you feel like his soul has been wounded? ”
"He must have used the Killing Curse, Dumbledore, you have to take him to Azkaban, as soon as possible, before he leaves Hogwarts" It's still the Red-nosed wizard just now, this must be a Gryffindor.
"No, Severus hasn't left his place for a few days, there's no chance to cast a killing curse, Dexter, you have to apologize to a Slytherin, right now!"
The two people in the portrait have already begun to move, and they are not at all like what they were before, without any image.
Dumbledore didn't look up either, as if he had long been accustomed to the fuss of boring portraits, and he was still communicating with Fawkes, "You said he doesn't have an aura that you dislike, but something familiar?" ”
The red-nosed, chubby old headmaster was still yelling "Not now, he's a Slytherin, he's a Death Eater, and he's obsessed with the dark arts when he goes to school, at least not let him into Hogw......arts, Dumbledore, do you hear that, at least you should take our opinion into account"
Indeed, apart from Phineas from Slytherin, there is only Delis. Devonte, the middle-aged witch who had previously praised Zhang Jin's handsomeness, supported and showed a certain amount of trust in Zhang Jin.
Except for a few who watched the excitement, most of them didn't trust Severus very much, after all, it was still clear who the Death Eaters were.
The old red-nosed headmaster quickly entangled a group of people to besiege Phineas, and after only a few moments drove him out of his original portrait, but Delise ignored him.
"Alright, guys, Fawkes told me that Severus didn't cast the Unforgivable Curse", Dumbledore finally spoke again, "His soul change may be due to the blow being too big, after all, it is the love of young people, and any changes caused by this are understandable." ”
"And the Patronus does not lie, and it is impossible to form such a Patronus without unwavering love."
Dumbledore went on to say, "Fawkes also told me that Severus's soul was so traumatized that he might have even destroyed his Occlumency, which may be the reason why he took a leave of absence, and that my phoenix doesn't hate Severus. ”
"As you know, the phoenix only gets close to good and brave wizards."
Zhang Jin probably didn't expect it to be noticed so quickly, it was still the pot of the failure of the brain occlusion, if there was a master-level brain occlusion, even a phoenix would not be able to see anything.
As for the soul wounds, it seems to be vaguely divided into two parts, as if the soul that has just been glued together looks like it is almost torn apart by anyone.
It can be seen that the phoenix is at least able to perceive the state of a person's soul, of course, without the premise of brain occlusion.
However, there are also benefits, at least it seems that Dumbledore believes it, and has also found a good excuse for Zhang Jin's magic growth: "The soul was torn apart by the blow too much, which caused the magic to riot." ”
This is somewhat similar to Voldemort's method of making Horcruxes, of course, ordinary wizards will only riot when their magic awakens, after all, if the magic is unstable, there is a high probability that rioting will cause serious consequences, becoming a squib or a neurotic or something.
This was where Dumbledore felt the most, and his sister Ariana. Dumbledore was hurt by the magical riot and was reluctant to use magic again, so much so that he drove himself crazy, leading to Dumbledore's early tragic experience.
So Dumbledore didn't want to say anything more: "When he gets to Hogwarts, we'll have time to take a closer look." ”
