Chapter 264 - Entrance Ceremony (1st Shift)
Harry Potter, a special teenager. He grew up in his uncle's house. Since he was a child, he felt that his uncle and aunt did not like him very much. He is responsible for the family's breakfast, fetching milk, making coffee, and frying bacon. The fat cousin is even more troublesome to him every day. If you change to other teenagers, in this environment, you will either be branded with mental illness or become a gray teenager.
But the protagonist is the protagonist, and Harry has lived a healthy life for more than ten years. Not only did he not grow into a gray boy, but he became a hero who saved the world. In this regard, Lin Xuan just wanted to say that the author's character design seems to be a bit problematic. Harry's background is usually a villain.
Magic was a magic word to Harry. In the few comics he had, he knew it was a magical power, capable of doing a lot of things that only he had imagined. For example, leaving this nasty family. For example, a hard lesson for that bad cousin.
Until one day, magic really appeared in front of his eyes. An owl brought him an admission letter. He was accepted into a magical academy called Hogwoods. At that moment, he didn't think of anything about this family, the bad cousin. Because it doesn't matter at all, for him, magic is the most important thing. It's as if that was his fate.
A mysterious station that passes through the walls. The chocolate candy that can jump, the half-baked magic of the companion, and the amazing little girl who knows everything. Everything seems so magical. Harry felt like he had found the true meaning of life.
The only thing that made him uncomfortable was that almost everyone knew him. The scar on his head, the story of his parents. And the obscure black mage whose name others didn't even dare to name.
He learned about his parents and his story from Hagrid. The Dark Mage hunts down his parents. And then killed by yourself? This is the version that has been circulated by the outside world. That's why he became the savior. Because he is the one who defeated the black magician. But he didn't have any special memories of his own, and he didn't think it was likely. He was just a newborn teenager, how could he defeat the strongest black magician?
It's like a placement in school. The Academy of Magic is also to be divided into four branches. It's just that the same magical means are used to classify them. A magical hat, the Sorting Hat. The Sorting Hat is worn on your head to determine which Sorting House you go to.
What no one noticed was that during the sorting ceremony, a special figure walked into the auditorium. No gowns, no mage robes. There was only a casual suit, and he walked in as if no one else was there. Yet everyone around him didn't even look at him, as if all the people couldn't see him. Only Dumbledore, who was standing on the podium, shuddered. He paused to speak. However, in the end, he held back and did not say anything, but continued with the sorting ceremony.
When Harry put on the Sorting Hat, the whole auditorium was boiling. With the exception of Slytherin, the other three houses all wanted to have Harry themselves. After all, the legendary savior.
Eventually, however, the Sorting Hat called out Gryffindor's name, no uncertain. And Lin Xuan obviously noticed that the academy hat obviously had a trace of unnatural magic fluctuations at that moment. It's very subtle, and it hides from all the teachers and professors. But in Lin Xuan's eyes, it was as dazzling as a light in the dark.
Lin Xuan couldn't help but smile. Dumbledore's methods were extremely simple. Spread rumors to build momentum for Harry. Companions were chosen for him, and even a sorting house was determined. Let Harry grow on his own terms. In this way, when he becomes an adult, he will naturally be surrounded by a group of pre-booked, strong ** masters, and then become the key to defeating Voldemort.
Dumbledore was a good man. But he may not even be able to defeat Voldemort a second time himself. So he put all his hopes on Harry. He even went against some guidelines and completely controlled Harry's fate.
And Dumbledore, who had been tense, finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that everything was going well. At that moment just now, he was really afraid that Lin Xuan would intervene. He probably knows the school best in the world.
Decades ago, Dumbledore, who defeated the first Dark Lord and won the title of First White Mage, found the secret magic academy. Because he knew where the magic was different from his system. At that time, he was still young, and he also had the idea of challenging the strongest magician in the world.
However, that day later became his nightmare. Newt was his former friend. Some of the dumb Newts who only fiddle with all kinds of magical creatures. At that time he was already a professor inside. He was ordered to take on his challenge. And then beat yourself.
Yes, Newt defeated Dumbledore. That nerd who is obsessed with magical creatures all day long. Showed amazing combat skills. The cooperating with all kinds of Dumbledore's never-before-seen magic systems defeated him head-on without any suspense.
Dumbledore knew that he had underestimated the enemy, but he knew that even if he did it again, it would only be five or five. After talking to Newt again, he was surprised to learn. Within this school, both teachers and students. A round of mandatory combat drills must be conducted every week. The actual combat drill is related to the welfare of the teachers and the graduation assessment of the students. It is also the core teaching philosophy of this school.
Dumbledore walked away. Because in the school, he also saw a kind of old magic master led by Nick Meller. Not only are they not affected by aging. On the contrary, he looks younger. Dumbledore felt that if he dared to do it again, he probably wouldn't be able to get out of that school. You know, those old guys aren't all so talkative. There are a few of them, but they are notorious.
Dumbledore kept the matter in his heart. Through the president of the American Division of Magic, he learned about some of the things behind the school. Everything originated from the young man in the audience.
Dumbledore returned to England that year and took over as Headmaster of Hogwoods. There was a teaching reform that was initiated. Emulate New York College and strengthen students' hands-on skills. But as soon as this move was implemented, it scared the Ministry of Magic. You know, those old fellows at the Ministry of Magic have always been wary of Dumbledore's intentions to seize power. You know, with Dumbledore's status in the British wizarding world, if he stands up and wants to take the position, it is not impossible to reorganize the Ministry of Magic. Those old fellows who are obsessed with power can not allow a powerful mage to have another powerful group of followers.
