Chapter 10 Old Deng, Have You Seen My Diary?!
It is a spacious and beautiful round room. On the table with slender legs, there were many strange silverwares, spinning and spewing out small puffs of smoke and making all sorts of funny little sounds.
The walls are covered with portraits of the old headmasters, both men and women, all snoring softly in their frames.
On a shelf behind the desk sat a tattered, crumpled peaked wizard's hat, patched, worn out, and looking dirty.
"Clean and new."
Ricardo whispered a mantra and pointed at the hat, but instead of fixing it, it made a roaring sound:
"Hey! Brat! If you enter Hogwarts, you're guaranteed to be a Gryffindor! ”
Ricardo looked at Dumbledore with some embarrassment, but Dumbledore was not angry, but looked at him with a smile:
"Good wandless spellcasting, Mr. Silva."
"A lot of kids like to cast this spell on me, even the headmaster," the hat interjected at the right time, his tone calming, "Unfortunately, in order to ensure my sense of history, Salazar cast a time spell on me to keep it that way forever." ”
"Time magic? The spells of antiquity are great. Ricardo exclaimed.
"No, Mr. Silva," said Dumbledore, "the great is not ancient, the great is human. You only see the magic of ancient magic, but you don't see the dangers in it. ”
"Like this time magic," the hat replied, "what if this time magic was learned by a dark wizard?" The timeline will be messed up, and the world may even be divided as a result. ”
"And greed is human nature," Dumbledore's deep blue eyes looked at Ricardo, "We don't know how the ancestors restrained their nature, restrained their evil thoughts, and cut off this magic from the endless river of time, for the peace of this world." ”
"But we at least know that wizards were once reduced to being hunted down by Muggles."
"I barely understand, it's really ......"
Ricardo doesn't know how to describe it, maybe this is so good that he self-blocked?
But in other words, ancient magic has developed to the point where even the wizards themselves have no confidence in controlling it? So much so that you want to "rest on your laurels"?
Ricardo didn't dare to think about it anymore, and the reason might be even more terrible than he thought.
"But you have to think about it," Dumbledore said with a smile as he saw his fear, "Tom's curse is no joke, and if you really want to be a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts for long, you must break it." ”
Hiss!
So he's still on the hunt for ancient magic, right?
No, not only ancient magic, but also family magic, magical beast magic, country-specific magic, and even ...... Dark magic, as long as he wants to break the curse, he must try and error one by one to find the right existence.
After all, it was a curse that even Dumbledore couldn't break.
"Why is my life so miserable......" Ricardo shook his head in frustration, but there was no gloom in his eyes.
"I'm surprised," Dumbledore's dark blue eyes seemed to flicker, "I've told a lot of job-seeking kids, who are either in a hurry to quit or tremble, and you're the only one who is so calm. ”
Naturally, Ricardo didn't ask such a childish question as "what will it be like to hear this legend after the older generation takes office", and those old-timers must have been ready for everything when they came here.
"Of course, there are some people who are greedy for vanity and come to Hogwarts just to gain fame, and I won't tell him that."
"So Mr. Silva, I doubt you have an extremely mature soul within you."
“…… Is this a receptive thought? I'll just find out, nothing else. ”
"Nothing else," Dumbledore glared at Ricardo, "Anyway, you're the Headmaster, the most powerful wizard in the world, what can I do if you want to do that?" ”
Ricardo immediately understood the reason Dumbledore had guessed, and his eyes shook from side to side, looking a little embarrassed.
"Dark wizards use such inferior skills to calculate others, Mr. Silva," Dumbledore handed him a piece of candy, "the human heart cannot be fully detected, and I would never use such a foolish way to test someone who is worthy or likely to be worthy of my trust." ”
"I'm sorry, I was abrupt."
Ricardo opened it and ate it without hesitation, he was so nervous that he actually doubted the headmaster.
It's like he takes a student, he may analyze the student's psychology through some feedback, but he will never probe the student's privacy.
Even if a student passes a note in class, he throws it in the trash, instead of reading it out loud, and at most he will be fined a paper.
Respect is mutual, and that will never change.
And how can this kind of person who is obviously several times higher than him not know? It's just that people are old and fine, and they can see something from their words and deeds.
It's actually quite common, and it's ...... It's really fun to tease children after guessing!
Especially when he asks you with a suspicious face, "Teacher, have you read my diary", and then said calmly, "Your teacher, I will know how many pounds and taels you have by pinching my fingers", that kind of sourness......
Just look at Lao Deng's expression now!
After understanding the ins and outs, Ricardo also smiled: "Orphans, it's normal to be more mature and sensitive." ”
"Of course, of course," Dumbledore's smile was still the same, but a little dimmed, "I know, I should have known. ”
In the last sentence, he said it very lightly, very lightly.
Soon he returned to normal:
"Your situation is interesting, I don't know why - because of morality? Or freedom? Your refusal to hold a position involving darkness and your failure to succumb to the olive branch thrown by the pure-blood family is a testament to your qualities. ”
"Don't think too brightly, Headmaster," Ricardo shook his head, "Nobody is black and white, I'm just too critical. ”
"Yes, no one is black and white," Dumbledore shoved another piece of sweets into his mouth, "but it's good that you feel real like this." ”
Ricardo didn't say anything, Banmen got an axe and played tricks in front of the uninverted old man, it was just funny.
"I also hope that there is a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor who can accompany the students to the end, and since you have the courage to overcome the curse, then we, all the professors at Hogwarts, will do our best to help you."
"You're already a professor — haha, of course, you're a kid in front of most professors — and we don't deliberately limit your growth, just give you a hint when you're going astray."
"Kid?" Ricardo chewed on the word, which was far away for him, laughed suddenly, walked up behind Dumbledore, and rubbed Dumbledore's shoulder as if flatteringly:
"So, I can call you ...... Grandfather? ”
Dumbledore smiled knowingly, the little guy was showing closeness in this way.
"So, we're not going to be wary of you just because you're new here. This school is open to you, the Forbidden Books section won't be denied entry just because you're a new professor, and after a few times with Hagrid's leadership, you can explore it on your own, and I really hope you'll enjoy it. ”
"Finally," Dumbledore stood up, walked to the window, and raised his wand, "welcome to Hogwarts!" ”
Brilliant fireworks burst into the Hogwarts sky, fleeting and eternal.
———————
This text is a bit watery, mixed with a lot of my thoughts, Rory is rambling and has been delayed for so long, but ...... I really want to give Lao Deng a loving image.
He is the driving force behind Harry Potter, but he is also a kind old man with a white beard, he has King Kong angry eyes, there are also Bodhisattvas with low eyebrows, he is a commander who sends children to battle, and he is also a grandfather who brings children up.
yes, grandpa.
I won't give him conspiracy theories, I don't want Albus Dumbledore to turn against the protagonist, he will be an important figure in the protagonist's growth, the pinnacle of the White Wizard in everyone's hearts.
The First Emperor said that he also incarnated as a dragon soul to protect me for thousands of years, and Dumbledore planned the world with death to give the world a peace.
Of course, I also care about the snake courtyard, a group of spoiled children by the family, worthy of pity and teaching.
I hope that in my book, Slytherin will shout to parents "I don't need your evaluation of what friends I make". They will become free little snakes, qualified to do their best for everything they care about.
(If you look at the original showdown, all the houses are shouting for justice or fleeing, with only Slytherin asking where Snape is first.) The snake courtyard does not lack the courage to fight for those who care)
Instead, he was taken into the Hogwarts dungeon on guard.
There are many villains in the world of Harry Potter, and there is no shortage of Dumbledore.
Finally, I would like to introduce Dumbledore in my heart in two sentences:
"If there is no loneliness in the world, I don't know how many people are kings and how many are emperors?"
"I have finished fighting that good fight, I have finished the way I should go, I have kept the way I ought to keep, and from now on I have a crown of righteousness."
