Chapter 339: Principal and Professor

Since it wasn't a serious school season, there weren't many people on the bus. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 There were two groups of parents who took their young children to visit Hogwarts. After talking, Zhao Mai knew that one of them was from Romania and the other was from Australia.

They were pure wizarding families with no interest in the Muggle world, only complaining that the world war had made transportation less convenient than it used to be. "It seems that they haven't gotten rid of the ignorance of hundreds of years ago, but this time there is no witch killing, so they kill each other. Both families thought about the same, "Fortunately, we're free of Muggles and won't be infected by their stupidity." ”

The tone was as if he was discussing another world. Zhao Mai suddenly had a feeling that in the eyes of wizards, the wizarding world was the real core world, and the Muggle world without magic was just a place that overlapped with their worlds. This is the complete opposite of Zhao Mai's deep-rooted feeling of "earth home".

Only the person pushing the pickup truck and saying "candy, drinks, sandwich bread and newspapers" reminded him of his "cigarettes, bread, ham sausages, beer, drinks, mineral water, don't forget to collect your legs" when he was in the car. He knows that he always has the problem that this idea is easy to fly, and he also has a character that Zhong Jianbai said is "hypocritical". Pay attention to the present first, pay attention to the immediate - Zhao Mai kept reminding himself.

Watching the beautiful scenery outside constantly retreat in the gray train smoke, Zhao Mai found it difficult to retract his thoughts at this time. It was an undisturbed land, unaffected by the war. Grass, flowers, and flocks of sheep grew freely in the fields, and a few small figures frolicked in the shade cast by the trees. Zhao Mai opened his phone and saw that the place name displayed on the navigation was "Wizarding World, Earth". Recall that at the Detachment Conference, the wizarding world was referred to as a "sub-world attached to the earth", which is probably the origin of the special structure of the place name.

Now the taxi's traversal ability has not been restored, so the billing system cannot be opened, and Zhao Mai has no way of knowing whether it is necessary to travel from the wizarding world to the original earth.

Formal freshmen get off the station and take a boat across a large lake. However, it was not school season, and there were no special ferrymen waiting at the pier, so they had to take a horse-drawn carriage around the village of Hogsmeade - a small wizard's village - and enter through the main entrance of the castle.

There were already people waiting for them, a thin and tall old man and a sturdy middle-aged man. The old man's hair was neatly combed back, and a pointed hat about the size of a thumb peeked out of his hair, as if a horn had grown from his head. He glanced at Zhao Mai and the others, and there was no sadness or joy in his eyes, as if all he saw was a few stones. But when he saw two families in Romania and Australia, a smile bloomed on his face.

"Welcome to Hogwarts, I'm Headmaster, your friend Armando Duppet, and beside me is Professor Dumbledore. Please come with me and I will show you around the school. The smile on his face faded after meeting Zhao Mai: "As for the few of you, just follow Albus Dumbledore, the professor of the Transfiguration class, and he will arrange for you." After all, this is also something he provoked. ”

Zhao Mai looked the famous Albus Dumbledore up and down. He was now thirty-seven years old, and he was at his most energetic, because his body stood straight, and his shoulders seemed to be able to bear a thousand heavy loads. Now he had only a short, untrimmed chin and was as brown as his hair, and all the same jagged. The famous beard and the most powerful wizard of later generations were just a prototype that had just emerged.

He has wise blue eyes, and he sits on a hooked nose like an owl. It's a pity that the bridge of his nose has been broken, and there is a noticeable twist, so he loses a lot of ferocity and sternness, and instead softens. Zhao Mai looked at him, and suddenly felt that his spiritual defense line was touched, so he frowned and said to Dumbledore, "Don't read my mind. ”

Dumbledore blinked, nodded and said, "I'm sorry, it's an unconscious divergent ability. But I see that you've done a good job of protecting your mind, which is quite rare. He looked at the crowd, bowed slightly, and said very politely, "As the Headmaster introduced me, my name is Albus Dumbledore, and I am now the teacher of Transfiguration. Before you are officially assigned a grade and enrolled, I will lead you in the tutoring. However, you should not be under psychological pressure, and being assigned to any grade is only an evaluation of your past knowledge, and will definitely not affect your future achievements. ”

"Thank you, but why did the headmaster say you caused this?"

"I'm a student at Gryffindor House at Hogwarts, and it's strange to find that there are fewer and fewer new students every year, especially from non-wizarding families. He made a gesture of invitation, and then chatted with everyone as he walked: "The offspring of wizards are easy to produce wizards, and they will all conduct wizard ability tests in advance to ensure that they can enter school at the age of eleven." However, wizards born from pure Muggle families would not know about the wizarding world at all. At this time, if there is a problem with finding wizard spells, it will lead to the loss of talent in the wizarding world. I was inspired by a friend who came up with this question and researched and discovered the error in finding wizard spells. Unfortunately, many Muggle-born wizards have missed the opportunity because they can't control their magic, which leads to all sorts of problems. But fortunately, a group of people have been found, and you are exactly like that. ”

"What happens to those who miss the opportunity?" Zhao Mai asked.

"There are people who can't channel their magic for the rest of their lives, and they're no different from ordinary Muggles. Dumbledore said, "But there are some people whose magic manifests itself, but there is no way to control it. Muggles wouldn't be able to handle such a thing if wizards didn't intervene. Over time, there is a high probability that these people will be swallowed by magic, lose their sense of self, and even die, which is quite tragic. ”

He spoke as he went, leading the crowd forward. Hogwarts is a huge castle perched on a cliff, and the carriage is halfway up the mountain, but you still have to walk a little further when you get off the car. Looking east from the mountain road, you can see a vast forest stretching to the end of the horizon. "It's the Forbidden Forest, and there's nothing wrong with this part of the area closer to the castle, but the further you go inside, the more dangerous it becomes. In addition to the various beasts and animals, there are tribes of centaurs in the depths of the Forbidden Forest, who do not like people to approach. Legend has it that there are unicorns in the Forbidden Forest, but I haven't seen anyone say they've seen them yet. In short, don't go there. Once something goes wrong, you can't even find the body. ”

He led the group through the tall main entrance and turned left. "You are not assigned a college, you don't live with the students, you live alone in the faculty dormitories. There are a lot of rooms in Hogwarts, and the roads are complicated, so you can always ask these paintings on the walls when you remember the house numbers, and they will tell you how to get there. However, there are a few paintings that tell jokes or lies, so it's better to memorize them yourself. The faculty lounge on the first floor offers three meals a day, two sixties and one twelve, so don't miss it. I'll teach you in the Charms classroom on the fourth floor, and I think Charms is where you need to learn the most. Compared to the children here, you are all adults, and I think you can understand the virtue of self-discipline. (To be continued.) )
