368. There are several doors in the principal's office

"What do you think he should do?"

In the painting, Ravenclaw turns his head and asks Helena, as if he wants to test her.

He ...... Should ......"

Helena's eyes rolled a few times, and she couldn't come up with any ideas in a hurry.

Under the gaze of Ravenclaw, she said a little nervously, "Maybe he should continue to have a good talk with Medea, Medea was reluctant to marry Gaunt in the first place, this should not be her idea......"

As she spoke, her voice grew quieter and quieter.

Scott watched the scene silently.

He thought to himself, Helena when she was a girl was really a pure silly white sweet.

Listening to Helena's answer, Ravenclaw just smiled slightly, patted her hand, and turned to look at Scott, who was standing in front of the portrait.

"What about you, my apprentice." She asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Scott said helplessly, "I have no other choice, dear mentor. ”

Ravenclaw had a relieved look on his face, "It seems that you don't lack the courage to face it head-on, even if the final opponent is likely to be Salazar." ”

"You know, I don't have a choice." Scott said even more helplessly, "If there is another choice, of course I would like to take the easier path." ”

Ravenclaw complimented him again, "You didn't panic because you had no choice, and that's your courage." ”

Scott said exceptionally calmly: "I'm just sober, I don't have anything else to do but give it my all, so there's no need for extra emotions." ”

There is no need, there is no need for the two of us Ravenclaw to talk about any courage.

"Don't worry, kid, you still have time to grow." Ravenclaw said in a reassuring tone, "Didn't Medea tell you to help her after graduation?" ”

Helena, who was leaning next to her, heard this, her eyes lit up, "That's right, it means that until Scott graduates, Medea will not be able to pursue the changes and reversals she wants. ”

Scott nodded, smiling at the girl in the drawing, thanking her for making the obvious conclusion.

"It's just my apprentice, and you don't have time to learn and grow step by step."

Ravenclaw said to Scott with some seriousness.

"I mean, I can't let you decide your own learning pace like you used to, I will change the teaching mode of passively answering questions, and take the initiative to instill more knowledge in you in the future."

"Thank you, Mentor." Scott certainly has no opinion.

He bowed slightly to the portrait and thanked Ravenclaw solemnly.

Ravenclaw says, "It's not the way I like to teach, it's just that I'm instilling knowledge in you, and you're missing the process of thinking for yourself, which is not good for you." ”

Skorcher nodded in understanding, "I understand, Mentor, I'll try to think as much about what you're teaching at other times." ”

Ravenclaw was also a little helpless, "Although it will be very hard for you to do this, but there is no way to do it." ”

At this time, Helena showed an expression of empathy for Scott, as if she was wearing a pain mask.

She asked Ravenclaw, "Mother, is it possible for Scott to defeat Professor Slytherin if this continues?" ”

"How is that possible?" Ravenclaw glanced at her, "Salazar, his fighting ability is second only to Godric, in short, better than me and Helga. ”

She said to Scott, "Growing up doesn't happen overnight, all four of us didn't reach our peak until we were 35 years old, and that's when we're completely different from other wizards, and you're too young." ”

"What then?" Helena was dumbfounded.

"We can only enhance this child's ability to protect himself as much as possible." Ravenclaw said.

"Why don't you ......," Helena came up with an idea, "let Scott go and hide abroad immediately after graduation, and go to the farthest place, how about the East?" ”

"It doesn't make any sense." Ravenclaw evaluation.

There was a slight stir in Scott's heart when he heard the word "Eastern," but it quickly subsided.

There is no point in going to the East, as Ravenclaw said, and there is no one in the East who will protect him now.

He might as well stay in England, where at least Dumbledore's thigh can be hugged.

"Then ......" Helena asked a question that Scott also wanted to know, "can the current Headmaster Dumbledore beat Professor Slytherin?" ”

Ravenclaw smiled and said, "I don't know, of course, I can be sure that Dumbledore was a wizard of the same rank as us when we were alive. ”

Well, this sentence strengthened Scott's idea of hugging his thighs.

Such thick thighs, not hugging is not a person.

Of course, this is just Scott's inner amusement at the moment.

When Dumbledore learned of the prophecy, he said he would help him.

Scott also understood that even so, he couldn't hide by Dumbledore's side all the time, and in the end he still had to rely on himself.

By the time Scott left the Room of Requirement, curfew had already passed, and the lights in the castle had been extinguished.

When he walked out of the hallway where the Room was located, he noticed a door open in the distance in the hallway on the left-hand side, and a warm light shining on the floor of the hallway.

Scott stopped.

As he was about to quietly leave, a shadow appeared in the light shining on the floor.

Soon, Dumbledore, dressed in his pajamas and nightcap, appeared at the door and beckoned to Scott.

Scott walked up to Dumbledore and bowed his head in greeting, "Good evening, Professor Dumbledore." ”

"Good evening, Scott." Dumbledore turned and walked inside, "Come in and talk to me old man." ”

Scott looked up at his star-patterned pajamas and followed him through the door.

He found that the room was still the familiar headmaster's office.

For a moment he was tempted to ask Dumbledore how many doors there were in the Headmaster's office.

"Come and sit."

Dumbledore, who had already sat down, beckoned to Scott again.

This time instead of sitting behind his desk, he sat on the couch in front of the window.

His phoenix was standing on a perch next to the couch, burying its head in its wings and snorting.

Scott walked over to the couch across from Dumbledore and sat down, a small coffee table between the two.

He glanced up at the portraits of the former headmaster not far away, and the portraits all looked like they were all asleep.

Dumbledore didn't ask Scott what he wanted to drink, and shared him a cup of hot cocoa.

"Looks like you're going to ask for help with the portrait of Lady Ravenclaw?" Dumbledore asked kindly.

"Yes." Scott nodded, took a sip from his glass.

Dumbledore also picked up the steaming cup and asked with some curiosity, "What does the portrait of Lady Ravenclaw say?" ”

Scott replied honestly, "Ravenclaw tutor said that she would change her teaching model from reactive answering questions to active indoctrination. ”

Dumbledore wasn't surprised by Scott's words.

As Scott had guessed, he had anticipated Scott's teaching of Ravenclaw's portraits.

But judging from his unsurprised reaction to hearing Scott call Ravenclaw a mentor, the old headmaster and Ravenclaw mentor's portrait must have also had an exchange.

Hearing Scott's answer, he just smiled and said, "In this way, there are probably no more diligent students at Hogwarts today than you." ”

"Nope." Scott is still self-aware, "Those guys who usually take time transformers to study in class and get all 12 certificates in the junior wizard level exam are much more diligent than me. ”

"Even though I'm the principal of this school, I don't advocate that kind of behavior." Dumbledore winked playfully, "Getting 12 certificates is good, but the kind of transcripts that I have earned in exchange for my youth are not so cost-effective in my opinion. ”

The old headmaster put on a posture of idle chatter.

He continued, "Rather than using a dangerous tool like a time turner, I want my students to find something they really care about. ”

I have to say, Scott thinks the same way.

He plans to give up several subjects in the second half of the sixth year, such as astronomy, history of magic, herbal medicine, and the protection of magical beasts.

In this way, all he needs is Transfiguration, Charms, Potion, Ancient Scripts, Arithmetic Divination, and Defense Against the Dark Arts.

He spoke his mind to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore nodded approvingly.

"We don't require students to attend all classes, and the professors have requirements for students' grades from the sixth grade onwards."

He babbled.

"Of course you have to make trade-offs, and a smart and planned student like you needs more time for yourself."

Scott thanked him for the compliment, still wondering why Dumbledore was making small talk to him.

He thought it was something important.

However, Dumbledore's letting him into the office seemed to be really just small talk, and he didn't talk about prophecy for the rest of the year.

After a cup of hot cocoa, Scott said goodbye.

"Go ahead, you should go back to your dorm and get some good sleep." Dumbledore waved his hand, "In the future, too, growth can't rely on staying up late." ”

Scott was stunned when he heard this.

Dumbledore was trying to persuade him not to squeeze his rest too much because he was in too much of a hurry to get stronger.

Scott thanked him again and bowed slightly, turned and walked out of the principal's office.

When he reached the hallway and turned back, the door that glowed with warm light was gone, and the place where it had been had been turned into a rough stone wall.

Smiling silently, Scott walked in the direction of the spiral staircase.

Still using his magical senses to avoid Night Watch Filch and his cat, he made his way back to his bedroom.

"I don't know what Scott is doing again......"

Pushing open the door to the dormitory, Eddie is heard talking about his whereabouts.

"Good evening." Scott stood in the doorway and stretched, "You haven't slept yet?" ”

"Oh, Scott, we were talking about you." Eddie's voice came from the bedside.

"I hear you." Scott walked over to his bedside, took off his robe and shook it, and raised his hand to hang it on the hanger.

"Falling in love?" Luo asked loudly.

"Nope." Scott said helplessly, "You still care about yourself, look at your ex-girlfriend." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, laughter rang out from Eddie and Milton's bed.

Recently, Roger's ex-girlfriend Caccini has been getting more and more interesting.

Some time ago, although Roger was slapped by Caccini, he did not get angry, but paid more attention to her because he was curious about Caccini's completely different changes.

As a result, he was sneered at again by Caccini in front of many people.

Playboy Roger loses face.

Now, the once weak piano girl has become the eldest sister of Hufflepuff House, and is very popular among girls, not only overpowering Cedric's limelight, but also harvesting a group of fan girls.

Roger's ex-girlfriend, Miss Mill, who used to look at Roger and Caccini with a resentful face, is now also in Caccini's arms.

"Oh......" Roger let out a painful wail, "don't say it, I don't dare to provoke her anymore, I will hide away when I see her now." ”

"Oh poor Roger, you've got a girl you can't handle too." Eddie gloated and laughed.

Roger let out a stubborn voice, "At least I once got her." ”

Hearing his words to forcibly save face, Scott and the three of them laughed at the same time, and the bedroom was filled with a cheerful air.

By the time Scott returned to his dorm room after taking a shower, the other three were still talking about Caccini.

"Caccini has become a reserve member of the Eccentric Sisters." Milton said, "She'll probably be the first true female member of the Weird Sisters choir." ”

"But she's becoming more and more like a boy now." Eddie pretended to be cheerful, "Some time ago her hair was just short and colorful, but lately her hair has become short enough to see her scalp." ”

And Roger never said a word.

It wasn't until Scottra got out of bed and lay down under his bed that he muttered, "There must be a reason, and it is impossible for a person to change like that for no reason." ”

Scott: Of course they knew Roger's words were correct.

But it's also nonsense.

"Anyone can see that there's a reason." "But no one knows why. ”

His tone was full of regret, sighing because the gossip desire was not satisfied.

"You say......" Roger asked, hesitantly, "is she ...... because of me?"

"It's not." Scott affirmed.

"It's not." Milton said calmly.

"It's not." Eddie said coldly.

Scott, of course, is certainly not.

After all, Caccini's change was months since she and Roger broke up, and it had been a long time since Scott stared at Roger's face and met her.

Hearing the negative answers of the three roommates one after another, Roger fell into complete silence.

After a while, there was some deliberate snoring from his bed.

"Don't worry, brother." Eddie swore that "I, Eddie Cmitchell will figure out why, Hogwarts doesn't have a secret that Eddie Cmitchell can't dig out!" ”

“……”

Scott fell asleep with a smile on his face.

He returned to the dormitory and laughed for a while, which relieved his tense mood and improved his mood a lot.
