Chapter Twenty-Six: Grindelwald's Legacy

PS: Modified

...

Is that...

Grindelwald's legacy!

Of course Anthony recognized it.

Skeleton hookah.

A very traditional wizard magic item that allows smoke to transform into what the user intended.

There are differences in magical habits between the UK and other parts of Europe, for example, Professor Trelawney prefers to use a crystal ball instead.

If Dumbledore considered himself a soothsayer and a prophet, it was okay to give something like this.

But the problem is, it's Grindelwald!

The skull was also engraved with black words that looked like tattoos: "For the greater good." ”

Dumbledore is going to give this to him?

This...

However, although Anthony was surprised, the headmaster should not give anything in vain.

With that, he took the palm-sized skeletal hookah from Dumbledore's hand.

"You should know this!" Dumbledore asked.

"Yes, Professor, I know!" Anthony nodded and replied.

He then spoke with Dumbledore for a few moments about his 'prophecy', mainly a few details about the location of Voldemort's Horcruxes.

Then he left the principal's office!

...

"What do you think of that kid?"

Looking at Anthony's disappearing figure into the stairs, Dumbledore spoke as if talking to himself.

He was answered by a calm, gentle voice.

"Talent! Ambition! Ruse! Promising! A portrait on the wall suddenly spoke, a clever old wizard with a goatee.

His name Phineas Nigelles Black is clearly engraved on the edge of his frame.

The least popular Headmaster in the history of Hogwarts.

"It's a pity he's a Mudblood, otherwise he should have been in Slytherin!"

"That's all the Blake descendants have?" At this time, another portrait, a burly middle-aged wizard with a beard, glared and said, "It is because of your cheap pride that Blake is declining!" ”

Principal Iosha Sarkendenberg. A Gryffindor!

The earliest recorded Headmaster of Hogwarts was around 1503.

In the past, the old principals basically only had names, and there was no personal record of their experiences.

"Alright, Blake." A witch who looked at her kind eyes said, "Bloodline is not as important as you think. As a therapist, I can tell you unambiguously that there is no difference between our bodies! ”

The self-proclaimed Hogwarts Headmaster named Dalys. Devante.

She was a prominent healer and the main founder of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries. It has a significant influence in the wizarding world. She was Headmaster of Hogwarts from 1741 to 1768.

Later, due to the increasingly busy affairs of the St. Mungo's Magical Injury Hospital, he finally had to resign from his position as headmaster and devote himself to the hospital.

It can be said that this is a great person who truly cares about the entire wizarding world.

Pride of Hufflepuff.

"Hmph." The most unpopular Headmistress in Hogwarts history was able to give him a soft snort and then stop talking.

They have been arguing about the issue of descent for many years.

Unfortunately, it never came to fruition.

"In this matter, Mr. Black is right!" Dumbledore said suddenly.

"What did you say?" Phineas suddenly exclaimed, all portrait wizards knew that he didn't like Dumbledore and had never given the greatest wizard of the day a good look.

Because he was so merciful to young wizards of Muggle ancestry, Phineas was most disgusted with such behavior.

He was a pure-blood, and had never supported the study of magic only by wizards of noble blood.

"I mean, that kid should be assigned to Slytherin!" Dumbledore said calmly.

Immediately afterward, the Sorting Hat placed on the edge of his desk silently opened his mouth and said, "He should indeed enter Slytherin." ”

"Then why?" Phineas asked, puzzled, it was the first time he had seen the Sorting Hat so repeatedly. In his memory, this hat has never gone wrong for more than a thousand years.

Wait a minute...

Suddenly, in Phineas's frame, a scream came out: "It's you!" Dumbledore, you asked the Sorting Hat to change his Sorting House! ”

Dumbledore, who was pierced in his heart, did not deny it, but admitted it very generously.

"It's me who asks for the sorting hat and sticks to last night's sorting results."

"Because we can't add fuel to the fire! Mistake after mistake! ”

Dumbledore sighed and said, "Think about it, if Tom had entered Gryffindor instead of Slytherin. Maybe it won't happen. The sorting ceremony is probably long overdue..."

"Shut up!" Phineas was so angry that he roared loudly, "You are a betrayal, you have betrayed the idea of Hogwarts that has lasted for thousands of years, you are not worthy of being the headmaster of this school!" ”

"Perhaps!" The old headmaster shook his head unmoved.

Then he looked at the many portraits of the former headmaster and said, "The environment can change a person. We shouldn't have put young wizards with similar personalities in the same house, it will only make the good better and the bad worse. Look, what has become of Hogwarts now? Slytherin has gone further and further, and perhaps we should have acted a long time ago to stop this. ”

"Nonsense!"

Phineas shouted, looking at the portraits of the former headmasters around him and said, "Don't you all speak? Let this descendant erase our glorious traditions one by one? ”

Tick! Tick!

There was the sound of running water in the empty office, the strange silverware on the table, swirling, spewing small puffs of smoke and droplets of condensed water onto the silver plates.

"Hey!"

At this time, Dalis. Headmaster Devante, the prestigious Hufflepuff Principal, sighed and said, "You've finally made it this far, Albus!" Do you want to reform schools? ”

"Ma'am, you—" Dumbledore's voice was slightly expectant, as he could get a lesson from Talis. A hint of agreement was heard in Devante's mouth.

"Actually, I don't agree with the idea that Hogwarts should only adhere to one idea, not four, that this is a millennium. Isn't the four philosophies of a school artificially divided? ”

"The disputes of our ancestors have lasted for a whole millennium, should they continue? Hogwarts was supposed to be a school for all wizards in England, and even in Europe, but now it is still in contention over thousands of years of ideas. ”

"Albus, I'm glad you can take this step."

"You!! Run off at the mouth! Run off at the mouth! The headmaster of Black did not breathe, and he stared angrily at the kind old woman, and his eyes could not help but sneer with sarcasm.

A Hufflepuff-born half-breed, Muggle blood defiles wizards' purity, look at these people, do they know what they're talking about?

Will the noble Slytherin stay in the same house as the Mudbloods?

"I agree with you, too."

Suddenly, on the wall of the principal's office, a portrait hung from the top of the room spoke.

Principal Dexter Fosco.

As one of the first Headmasters of Hogwarts, this gentleman usually only sleeps by the side of the picture frame, and does not usually participate in the conversations of the Headmasters.

But this time he opened his mouth rarely.

"Hogwarts has been through storms, and most of the disasters can be blamed on the Sorting House, Albus is right, the Sorting makes the near Zhu red, the near ink black, the good better, the bad worse. If you want to change all that, do it! ”

Headmaster Dexter's last words were clearly an affirmation of Headmaster Dumbledore.

"Thank you for your support!"

"However, we will not talk about the Hogwarts reform for the time being, for now let's talk about the child!"

Dumbledore nodded delightfully towards the portrait of Headmaster Dexter.

He had a heart set on improving Hogwarts.

But how could his genius not imagine the resistance to this?

Let's hope for the younger generations.

Hermione Granger's kid was a great one.

Perhaps it was in her time that the wizarding world was truly revolutionized!
