"Looks like you don't like the new professor." Dumbledore was sitting in a chair in his office drinking lemonade, and on the other side was Ariana playing with Phoenix, and it was evident that Ariana rarely appeared in front of the young wizard, preferring to stay in the office and stay with Dumbledore.

Ariana looked at Brie as she entered, and quickly ran into a portrait and hid.

Dumbledore smiled and looked at Ariana, then put down the lemonade in his hand and explained Moody's behavior just now: "Alastor is a very responsible wizard, even if his temper is a little irritable, but this is not a shortcoming, it just proves that he is vigorous, I think he can teach you a lot in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class." ”

Brie smiled and didn't speak, just secretly lamented Dumbledore's trust in Moody, as well as Barty Jr.'s acting skills.

Of course, it stands to reason that Moody has been retired for many years, and Dumbledore, as a headmaster, knows more about Moody's acquaintance in reports, and it is possible that he cannot judge whether Moody is true or false.

"Is there anything important that you asked me to come here?" Brie asked.

Dumbledore smiled, then pushed open the door from the back of Brie's office.

The door was wide, like a large bedroom, with a lot of books and collectibles, and of course, the most striking thing was a black thick book and a strange quill floating on a magic circle, and on the other side was a shallow stone basin with runes and symbols carved on the edge, and inside the basin was a misty silver bright color, undulating objects.

"That's the Book of Access and the Pen of Acceptance, and I'll tell you quietly, I think it's a book made of black dragon skin, and the pen should be the feather of some magical creature from ancient times, it's so beautiful."

"Whenever there is a magical riot among the young wizards within its acceptance range, the pen of acceptance will write the name in the book, allowing the young wizard to become a member of Hogwarts, and this magic will take effect after the young wizards are sorted, and Hogwarts will protect the growth of the young wizards."

"It's a meditation basin, a Hogwarts collection, and it's a collector in its own right, but it's a memory." Dumbledore introduced Brie, and then he ignored the Book of Access and the Pen of Acceptance, and walked over to the meditation basin and tapped the rim lightly with his wand.

"Buzz—" A sound like a ripple of water rang out, and Brie was drawn forward, staring thoughtfully at the flickering lines of memory in the basin.

"I use it a lot because I'm over a hundred years old and have too many memories, and I don't want to forget those experiences, so I took some interesting memories out and put them in."

"I've been here for most of my time, just to remember the past...", Dumbledore's voice was thick, like an unspeakable secret word, and he was cautious.

This is perhaps Dumbledore's biggest secret.

Brie stepped back.

"The Meditation Basin is generally a very personal item, and wizards carry it and wand to death."

"Don't worry, there's nothing I can't be known about, you can learn my secrets to your heart's content..."

】

Brie looked at Dumbledore with the eyes of a fool, casually watching the memory of a strong man, he would only be affected by this strong man, just like when he was young and watching An Qing's memory, he knew that he had inevitably been influenced by An Qing, so he would leave himself a stupid bottom line as a code of conduct.

"Haha, well, you can always come to me if you want to see it." Dumbledore smiled absently, and took out an ancient, beautiful glass bottle with a silver thread of memory in it.

"It's a Hogwarts memory, and I think you should take a look."

Hogwarts memories?

Brie stepped forward to take the bottle, and Dumbledore said, "Use your wand to introduce it into the meditation basin, bury your head and you can see what's hidden inside." ”

"Hopefully it won't waste my time, Dumbledore." Brie raised her eyebrows, and naturally pulled out the gem-encrusted cork, and the wand on her wrist reacted, and quickly bounced out, floating and drawing out the thread of memory in the bottle, which was poured into the meditation basin......

As the clouds cleared in front of him, Brie found herself in a strange place – England a thousand years ago.

At dawn, which was supposed to be the time when the rooster crows to wake up the rising sun, Brie looked at the glimmer of light on the distant skyline to gauge the time, but was soon attracted by the harsher light, and the red light also woke up the sleeping peasants.

It was a human settlement, and looking at the distinctive costumes and architecture of these eras, Brie quickly judged that this was a medieval town.

"Witch hunt!"

"Witch hunt!"

"She's a witch, burn her!"

"Burn her!"

Brie watched as the brightly lit torches were lit and burned, and a woman in a hood was escorted by a group of men in papal attire to a high platform with a cross stake, still covered with timber.

"Mmmmmm The woman kept struggling, but even though the corners of her mouth were red, she couldn't tear the strip of cloth off her mouth and curse the man who betrayed her.

"Burn her, we found the evil wand from her!"

An old clergyman who looked at the Holy See, who had a high status in the Holy See, walked over, and a man next to him hurriedly handed over the torch flatteringly.

When the old man raised the torch, he said in a loud voice—

"Wizards are the source of all evil, they bring dark sickness, and they are the greatest enemies of the Holy See and its followers!"

The old man's face was fierce, and he told the method of disposal as if he was agitating.

"According to the Pope's instructions, the one who cannot be burned to death is the evil wizard, and you will be tested by fire to prove your identity..."

"Bang!" The torches fell, as if they had been hunted countless times, and the flames spread wildly, and soon surrounded the bound women on the stage.

"Ahh A terrible scream rang out, and under the pressure of death, a strong wave of magical power erupted from her.

"Witch!" The clergyman's expression was flustered, but soon he said, "Quick, bow and arrow!" ”

"Whoosh!" Bows and arrows with a strange aura shot out, piercing through the magic fluctuations, and fixed the woman dead on the cross stake, and with the help of blood, the flames flew higher and higher, completely engulfing the woman.

With the light of the fire, the surrounding scene quickly subsided, and they came to a village, outside the village, a man and a woman parted ways, but soon, a group of people from the Holy See rushed out, and the woman also tried to take the opportunity to snatch the wand hidden in the man's pocket, but failed.

The man vigorously pushed the woman away, looking at her in disbelief, until the people of the Holy See rushed over with a spear with a strange aura, he reacted and raised his wand, but the magic that Harry couldn't deal with was no match for the Holy See at all, and soon the man was pierced by the spear.

The woman squatted on the ground tremblingly, and kept muttering: "Don't blame me, you will bring disaster, and the whole village will be killed by you..."

At this moment, a man ran out of the village and shouted: "Arrest this woman too, she has a child with this man!" ”

"Ah, no, you said you wouldn't... Uh-huh......"

The women were bound by the Holy See, and the children were brought out, and they were greeted by a cross stake erected in the village.

The people of the Holy See looked at the village and said coldly: "Then enter the village and look for it, and see if there are any wizards." ”

Then the scene changed again, as if time was going backwards, and scenes of wizards being caught by the Holy See and tricked and burned to death by Muggles flashed by, until Brie heard—

"The Muggle Holy See has put all the blame on the wizards, and they have never considered their mistakes."

Hogwarts!

No, this is where the Black Lagoon meets the Forbidden Forest, and Hogwarts has never existed.

Here, the four wizards silently glanced around, they seemed to see Brie, and they all showed their kindness to Brie, but soon they ignored Brie and began to tell their own stories.

The Muggle persecution of wizards was mentioned, and several people were speechless.

"Stay away from the prying eyes of Muggles." One of the gloomy wizards uttered the words, and Brie guessed that he was a Slytherin, but Brie couldn't make out his face.

Soon, the other three wizards nodded.

"We will build a school together, teach together, and I can design the perfect castle." An elegant lady gave the scheme.

"We'll have to open up this place first, but I don't think our friends here will say yes so easily." Another sturdy wizard raised his sword and pointed it at the Black Lake.

The last plump witch sighed and said, "I went to the forest over there to find the master's house, and with such a contractual order, I think they will accept us poor fellows." ”

"Hmph, hopefully, but Slytherin isn't down, and I can provide a lot of resources."

With that, the four wizards were separated by the same goal, and when they came back to the place, it would be when Hogwarts was founded......

"Hum..."

The clouds converged, the meditation basin was once again shrouded in silvery mist, and Brie came back to his senses.

With a wave of his wand, Dumbledore pulled out the memory line from the meditation basin and put it back into the glass bottle.

Brie slowly absorbed the memory before speaking under Dumbledore's gaze, "I thought Hogwarts Castle was Slytherin's. ”

"Haha, it's just a misrepresentation from the outside world, Hogwarts doesn't belong to anyone." Dumbledore laughed.

"That's the origin of Hogwarts, I'm sure you've seen it in some history books, but... I guess it's better to experience it than to experience it in person. ”

"Hogwarts was founded for the purpose of being away from the prying eyes of Muggles, but you and I both know that the four giants who shared the same goal parted ways, and their philosophies diverged, and of course, no one knew exactly what was going on."

Dumbledore shook his head and continued: "As you said on the train - not to talk about the original intention, the process, the ending, just talk about the world, the world will keep changing, and some ideas will become backward. ”

"The Big Four proved your point, they all had the same original intention, but after working together, they couldn't go to a common end, but chose to go their separate ways and became losers."
