Chapter 496 Portrait of Madness

readx;

"Not every day, just occasionally. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Dumbledore said awkwardly, "It's really just occasional. ”

The portraits immediately cried out incessantly, "Damn Dumbledore, how can you tell anyone else about this, how can you tell it? ”

"Shame, shame, shame, no face, I'm going to die. The headmaster, who was in a few frames, began to sobb helplessly.

Then the other headmasters rushed into their picture frames, punched and kicked them, and shouted, "How can you be so weak, you don't look like a serious headmaster, your iron blood and courage." ”

They beat the weak headmasters and yelled at Dumbledore, "Dumbledore, we will break with you from this day, and we will no longer be friends." ”

"When you die and your portrait is on the wall, we'll fix you. If I don't beat you to a bruised nose and swollen face, you don't know how we were called the devil's head teacher back then. ”

There are also a few portraits of indifferent neighbors who look like idiots and watch their splattering and writhing and crying and fighting. With a sigh, he quietly disappeared into the scenery in the frame.

This shocking picture opened George's eyes, and he didn't expect that just a few casual words of truth would cause such a big mess.

"So, these portraits, either you can put them away, or hang them outside, and you can talk to the students for the rest of the day. Don't look dead and still have the headmaster's score, and refuse to face the students on top, now it seems that they are basically crazy one by one. ”

George looked at Dumbledore with hatred and said, "Don't you get bored of such a large number of old men yelling and yelling in your ears?"

"Honestly, it's boring. ”

Dumbledore said empathetically, "You don't know how annoying a group of old men and old ladies can be, when I was younger, these portraits were the most hated, and I wanted to put them away many times." Because of them, I don't even want to stay in the office. ”

Then, he sighed, "But I didn't have the courage of you at that time, and tradition still means a lot to me." Later, I don't know when, I slowly began to get used to it, and their noisy noise in my ears became more intimate. ”

"Maybe I'm old and don't have any friends, so they're the only ones who can talk to me. ”

Dumbledore said in a humorous tone, "You know, the teachers in the school are very difficult to get along with, and they still have to attend classes every day. ”

"If I go to talk to them, they immediately complain about how busy they are at work, why bother to spend time with a boring old man. After all, I haven't been at work for many years since I became the principal, and they are very envious of my leisure. ”

George asked curiously, "So you didn't try to have a pen pal or something? Sometimes writing a letter is much better than chatting in person." There are many things that cannot be said verbally, but they can be communicated through letters. And no one knows whether the letter is a young and handsome young man or a thin old man. ”

Dumbledore tilted his head slightly, as if recalling a memory deep in his mind, and he said in a trance, "I had that time, when I was younger, I had a very important pen pal, and we talked a lot in correspondence at that time. ”

"It was a joyful experience. At that time, I was as energetic and courageous as you, but unfortunately everything passed. Dumbledore didn't continue, but sighed.

"I've changed completely, and I can't tell if I'm mature or sophisticated. Dumbledore turned his gaze to the noisy portraits, "I'm starting to look a little like them, I'm getting used to listening to their nagging, not annoying, but slowly feeling kind." ”

"They have a short memory, no matter what you tell them, they will soon forget, and they never leave this office, all your things, all your secrets, you can tell them, they will soon forget. ”

"It's actually nice because you can tell them something over and over again and never have to worry about the secret being leaked." ”

"It seems that not only did you live a life of retirement many years in advance, but you also lived a life of portraiture many years ahead of schedule. "I have to say that it's not a good idea to have so many portraits in the principal's office. ”

He looked at Dumbledore with sympathy and said, "I think you are aging prematurely, and for wizards, aging in the heart is real aging. Wizards have so many ways to keep their bodies young. ”

Just listening to Dumbledore's description and imagining that scene is chilling and creepy. An old man, sitting among a pile of portraits, kept talking to himself.

Tell your own life and your experiences like a bedtime story to these portraits without memory. When I woke up, the portraits had forgotten everything about the night, and it was as if it had never happened.

When the sun goes down and the night falls, everything goes on again. In the familiar corner, silently, in the dark, a person keeps tearing and sewing himself, and time seems to be frozen in this terrible cage. Until the sun rises, the fog clears, and everything reinvents again.

Dumbledore said calmly, "When you're headmaster of Hogwarts, you can put them all away. It's not always a good thing for young people to stay with old men for a long time. ”

"You need to be with your friends, you need to be with your peers, you need to have things that you enjoy, things that keep you young, not fast into aging," he said in a self-contained tone. ”

"Or maybe I won't be in this office, I'm not necessarily going to be the headmaster of Hogwarts. George said flatly, "It's never the headmaster who matters about Hogwarts, it's the students who go from Hogwarts to the wizarding world. ”

Dumbledore smiled and said gently, "Indeed, the Headmasters are hanging on the wall! they are boring when they are alive and so boring when they die, far less interesting than the mere students." ”
