Chapter 125: Inquiry (I)

Dumbledore's words caused a small commotion among the faculty and staff.

"The wizard did it?"

Professor McGonagall frowned, "This kid isn't temporarily petrified, what petrification magic can do?" ”

"A very old and evil petrified magic, but it must have been lost in Merlin's time."

Dumbledore's face was not very good, "This petrification magic not only froze his body, but also his soul. Unlike Lady Loris's petrification before, Justin may not be able to recover from the resurrection potion made of mandrake. ”

"Headmaster," Harry quickly interjected, "I swear I didn't-

"Don't worry, no one thinks you're going to be able to cast this magic, but to get to the bottom of things, Harry, come with me to the Headmaster's office. Professor Luo Cheng and Professor Snape are also here, Minerva, you take this child to the school infirmary, and the other faculty members are responsible for calming the students' emotions. ”

Under Dumbledore's command, everything unfolded in an orderly manner.

Harry's mind was still in a mess, all he knew was walking after Dumbledore.

As he walked, Dumbledore stopped in front of a huge, ugly stone monster.

"Chilled lemon juice!"

Dumbledore said, apparently a password, only to see the monster suddenly come to life and leap aside, the wall behind it cracking in half. Behind the wall is a spiral staircase, which is slowly moving upwards, like an escalator.

As soon as Harry stepped on it, he heard a thud behind him and the wall closed again. They spun higher and higher, higher and higher, and finally, feeling a little dizzy, Harry saw a gleaming oak door in front of him, with a brass knocker in the shape of a sphin-headed beast. As soon as Harry stepped on, he heard a rumble behind him and the wall closed again. They spun higher and higher, higher and higher, and finally, feeling a little dizzy, Harry saw a gleaming oak door in front of him, with a brass knocker in the shape of a sphin-headed beast.

Harry knew where he had been taken. This must be where Dumbledore lived.

He would have been curious if he used to, but now he just wants to prove his innocence!

Upon entering the room, Harry found an old bird standing on a tall gilded perch behind the door, like a half-feathered turkey. Harry stared at it, and the bird looked at him with a sad gaze, and at the same time made a suffocating sound. Harry thought it looked very sick. Its eyes were dull, and a few more feathers fell from its tail as Harry looked at it.

Suddenly, the bird was on fire! Harry screamed in horror and slammed backwards into the table. At the same time, the bird had turned into a fireball. It screamed, then vanished, leaving only a pile of ash on the floor that hadn't been completely extinguished.

"Don't be surprised, Fox is a phoenix. It has been doing a lot of work lately, so it has advanced the time for nirvana. When the phoenix is about to die, it will set itself on fire and then regenerate from the ashes, you see. ”

Dumbledore was still frowning, but he still gave Harry a nod.

Harry looked down and saw a small, crumpled chick poking its head out of the ashes. Its appearance is as ugly as that of an old bird.

"It's a shame that you happened to see it on Nirvana Day."

Dumbledore said, sitting down behind the table, "It's very beautiful most of the time: it's covered in astonishing red and gold feathers. The phoenix is really a very strange and fascinating life. They can carry extremely heavy things, their tears are healing, and they are especially loyal pets. ”

"Loyalty, that's a very valuable quality."

Luo Cheng said suddenly, he glanced at Snape and found that his face had become very bad.
