Chapter Thirty-Nine: Gilbert Elsie's Corner Tower
East of the 8th floor?
Dumbledore thought of the Room of Requirement, but it was in the other direction.
"Okay, we'll take a look, thank you for the trip."
As the questioning ended, Dumbledore stood up from the Headmaster's seat and walked out of the Headmaster's office with the three professors.
The principal's office is on the 8th floor, so it's not far to the east.
"Could it be that little Ode spent time on the rooftop?" Sprout's eyes were full of worry.
"Don't worry, we'll find him." Dumbledore comforted, and then saw the portrait of the tea seller.
"Oh, that lovely boy, he often goes over there, you can look for it."
Dumbledore, the tea girl's finger, remembered that it was the old alchemy classroom, but it was deserted.
"Bang dang!" Snape pushed open the abandoned classroom door, and dust was sprinkling in, and no one was clearly inside.
"Let's take a look over there, maybe there's another room." McGonagall said.
Hogwarts has a lot of secret rooms, which she had ventured into when she was a student, but of course this is something that cannot be said.
Sprout seemed to have something in mind, and when she saw the portrait of the tree, she said, "I remember this portrait, I discovered it when I was a student, but I never found out what kind of species it was. ”
"There's magic here." Dumbledore soon discovered the secret, and he said, "Right here. ”
Dumbledore tapped his finger at the stone bricks, and the portrait slowly opened, and the cold wind outside blew in, which made the two female professors turn pale.
Snape and Dumbledore froze.
"I hope there is another world up there, I don't think Mr. Oude is so stupid." Snape was the first to enter, followed by the rest of the group.
When Dumbledore and the others saw a large green tree, they immediately recognized it as the one in the portrait, and the corner tower with the tree was where Brie now lived.
On the platform, there is also a flower garden given by Professor Sprout, and it can be seen that there are many more precious or edible plants in it.
Sprout was silent, oblivious to the magical plants that were unique to the Forbidden Forest.
"I think Mr. Ouder's herbal medicine class is excellent." Professor Dumbledore raised the half-moon glasses on his eyes, looked at the four-leaf clover vines spreading on the window of the corner tower, and said, "Not a bad idea, full of nature, and can withstand the cold wind, but this is not a student dormitory, and Mr. Ode needs to be treated the same as young wizards." ”
"Of course, it was discovered by Ode, and he has the right to come here during his time at Hogwarts, except for curfew."
Professor McGonagall didn't speak, but looked at some of the bronze patterns on the wall of the corner tower and thought about something, when suddenly she said, "Gilbert Elsie! ”
"Dumbledore, you should remember this man, he was the first Ravenclaw student a thousand years ago, I saw it when I was sorting out the school's elite student files, he later became the first alchemy professor, but he disappeared, and his alchemy classroom and office were also erased."
"Limited accounts mention that he was an old scholar in the eastern corner tower, possessing a wand made of strange plants, which could effectively help him prevent the effects of alchemical failure."
Dumbledore gently stroked the tree, feeling the magic transport to the bronze lines, he nodded slightly, "Oh, I always forget something, lucky you remember, Minerva, but I think we have to knock on the door, and it is clear that this corner tower approves of Brie Ode." ”
"And this turret is an alchemical artifact, it doesn't belong to Hogwarts, I can recognize it as the Headmaster."
Gilbert Elsie is a powerful alchemist, but those who know him know the barrenness of his life, and the Philosopher's Stone is his obsession, but unfortunately no one knows whether he has succeeded or not.
"Knock knock!" Snape walked up the stone steps and knocked the wooden door.
Brie, who was on the second floor, was still reading a book when he heard a voice coming from outside.
"Someone's coming?" Verne looked at the staircase suddenly, and then said to Brie, "It's the Hogwarts professors, it seems they found this place, but why, there hasn't been such a situation in thousands of years?" ”
Brie put down the book, his face was helpless, he couldn't hide from it, it seemed that something had happened for the professors to find out that he was not in the Slytherin common room, and that the Slytherin ruckus had been revealed.
"What was expected a long time ago, but it came a little earlier."
Brie was not worried about the consequences at all, he was on the "victim's" side, and unless Snape was completely partial to the purebloods, Brie would be able to get the matter over well.
"You stay in this Verr, and I will go down by myself."
Verr nodded, a little disappointed, it knew that Brie was leaving here.
Brie quickly went downstairs and opened the wooden door, his face was calm, but there was a deliberate hint of panic in his eyes: "Professor? ”
Snape pushed him away and walked into the first floor to cast a glowing charm, and the rest of the professors walked in, and Professor Sprout pulled him into his arms, encircled him and comforted, "It's okay boy, we'll get you justice." ”
Looking at the empty first floor, everyone understood that the second floor with light was where Brie rested, but looking at the pajamas that Brie had changed into, everyone didn't peep too much.
However, Professor McGonagall grimaced, and he said to Brie solemnly, "Mr. Ode, I always thought you were the most sensible first-year, but you..."
McGonagall pursed her lips and looked at Brie, who was hiding in Sprout's arms in fear, but finally didn't say any more.
McGonagall bent down, touched Brie's little face, and said softly with a hint of helplessness, "You can tell me." ”
Brie's eyes were red, and he stubbornly lowered his head and said, "It's my business, Professor, I have to learn to handle things on my own, and I've had a good month, I can study to my heart's content without being harassed by their pure-blooded style." ”
Hearing Brie's words, Dumbledore's eyes flashed, and he said, "Minerva is worried about you, Mr. Ode, of course, this matter is not your fault, although you hurt the other young wizards at the time. ”
"I'm sorry... My most precious things were torn up by them, the diary was the only proof of my birth, the source of my name, and the crossbody bag was Betty's first Christmas gift to me......"
Brie looked up from Sprout's arms, looked directly at Dumbledore, and said emotionally, "I just shut them up the Slytherin way, knowing that I wasn't easy to mess with." ”
"My departure is a relief, I simply can't identify with their pureblood rules!"
"Pure-bloods, half-bloods, and Muggle seeds are all the same, they all have magical powers, even Muggles themselves are extraordinary, and their offspring can also give birth to little wizards, and they also have their own powers."
"Who was born great?"
"Who is born ordinary?"
After Brie finished speaking, he turned his head and buried himself in Sprout's arms, and no longer spoke, and where the professors could not see, the pure red in his eyes slowly emerged, and finally turned to pure black again.
And there was a hint of relaxation in those pure black eyes.
Brie said: I swear by Merlin's soul that I am telling the truth tonight.
But everyone knows that the most deceptive thing is not telling the full truth.
Brie respects everything that exists in the world, although he doesn't agree with pureblood, he won't look down on it, if necessary, he will choose to follow it, as long as he can make his world better, why can't he accept it?
It is normal where there is good and evil.
At the end of the day, Brie still admires the spirit of pureblood, and glory can indeed bring more choices to a person, just like Brie's excellence has been recognized by the professors, and now they choose to protect Brie.
"Dumbledore!" Professor McGonagall glared at Dumbledore in disgust.
"You shouldn't say that, Oude has already understood the mistake, and besides, it was the conflict caused by those little wizards, and even they bought precious potions to bully Oude without leaving a trace!"
"Sorry...... I'm sorry...... I think I'm a little confused. ”
Dumbledore had just reacted to what Brie had said, and he looked at the back of Brie's head with a complicated look and said, "I believe you, Mr. Ode, you are a very thoughtful young Slytherin wizard, and I promise you that Snape will be optimistic about his house." ”
Snape snorted, he was also frightened by what Brie said, if the little snakes heard it, they would definitely kill this strange Slytherin in no time.
Snape was a half-race who had also been bullied since he was a child, and looking at Brie's aggrieved appearance, he thought about his school career in Slytherin...... Lily.
"I'll be optimistic about them, Slytherin won't allow such infighting!"
Snape looked at Brie and said helplessly, "Now please Mr. Ode pack up and go back to the Slytherin common room with me, and I'll arrange everything." ”
Brie heard this, understood the matter, and was about to leave Professor Sprout's arms, but Sprout tightened his arms.
"I think we can talk about transfers."
Sprout touched Brie's head with pity and said, "I think Hufflepuff can take better care of little Oder." ”
Oude blinked, can he still be transferred?
But......
"I guess I have to say thank you for your relationship...... I'm a Slytherin though, I'm pretty sure. ”
Brie grinned reluctantly and left Sprout's embrace.
"Slytherin is never what it is now, I have seen the real Slytherin in many books, they are shrewd, calm, thoughtful, and have inner perseverance, perhaps because of perseverance, some guys who lack inner perseverance will have a bad reputation and act worse."
"But I think such people are a minority, no one is born a bad seed, not to mention that I believe that my strength can handle the rest of my life."
Snape glanced appreciatively at Brie and seemed to smile, but it seemed that it was only the cold wind that blew in and sent Brie into a trance.
"Maybe we should respect the choice made by Mr. Brie Odeh, then you can go pack up and get out of here."
"Of course, Dumbledore has agreed that you will use this as a secret base, and no one will tell the secrets here."
Brie bowed to the professors.
"Sorry to worry you, I'll go pack my things now."
