"However, because of the special nature of Hogwarts, I gradually discovered that these portraits seemed to not only retain the state of their lives, but also seemed to be able to start thinking like me..."
Sean thought thoughtfully: "So, the portraits will indeed discuss many things with the current principal."
"Yes, there are many things that cannot be discussed if you cannot think. Although I am just a hat, I understand this."
"What about Professor Dumbledore?" Sean asked anxiously.
The sorting hat's voice was a little uncertain: "I said, I can see magic. Normally, after the new principal's portrait is moved to the office, the magic will be integrated into Hogwarts. Then, because they are already powerful wizards
, will quickly begin to generate part of the consciousness that can think. Generally speaking, this time ranges from one to three years - so the principal's portrait will generally not speak when it is moved in, because the part of consciousness generated is different from the portrait itself.
There is some conflict with the magic power, but after the consciousness gradually becomes stronger, that consciousness can control the magic power of the portrait, so the people in the painting can speak and think."
"As soon as Mr. Dumbledore's portrait was moved in, I felt the magic that was integrated with Hogwarts. If he had not died, the magic on the portrait would not be effective...you understand what I mean.
?”
Sean nodded: "What about the differences?"
"The difference is that I found that Mr. Dumbledore's portrait does not seem to have any signs of self-awareness at all... This is unreasonable. I have seen all the portraits of the principals. Mr. Phoenix Black, he is the slowest to develop self-awareness."
However, on the first day he moved in, I felt his gradual consciousness through the magic of the entire Hogwarts - although this process will last for a long time, it is impossible that there will be no signs at all.
. Just like a seed, as long as the seed is not dead, the most sensitive land can always feel its germination."
"But Mr. Dumbledore is not in this situation." The Sorting Hat concluded.
This news made Sean a little excited. He thought for a while and then asked: "Does that mean that Professor Dumbledore's soul is different from that of previous principals?"
"No, no," the Sorting Hat immediately rejected his answer, "The souls are essentially the same. Although Mr. Dumbledore is very powerful, whether he is a Muggle or a Muggle, the souls after death are equal.
."
"No, what I mean is, is Professor Dumbledore's soul different from other dead people..."
The Sorting Hat made a smacking sound in Sean's mind: "You mean, Mr. Dumbledore didn't really die? That's not right. If he hadn't passed away, the magic on the portrait would not be effective."
"But how do you explain the difference between him and other principals?"
Faced with Sean's doubts, the Sorting Hat became distressed again.
After a while, it cautiously opened its mouth.
The Sorting Hat's voice was very hesitant: "Is there such a possibility? I mean it's possible. After all, I've been in the principal's office for so long and I've seen a lot of strange things... Could it be, Dumbledore
Mr. Lido's soul is in the passage between the underworld and the underworld. He is hesitating whether to return to the human world and become a ghost..."
Before Sean could speak, the Sorting Hat vetoed his own statement: "Impossible. No previous principal of Hogwarts would do such a fearful thing, not even Phoenix Black, let alone Dumbledore."
Where is Mr. Lido?"
Sean thought about it and said: "Is there any other possibility that Professor Dumbledore's soul went to other places..."
For example, he had an unspoken fantasy.
Sean always felt that it was impossible for Dumbledore to walk away like this. Although he was indeed a very free and honest person, there were still many things that had not been dealt with in the real world...
However, he personally carried Dumbledore's body back. Before that, Sean confirmed countless times that there was no breath of life in the old man's body.
The Sorting Hat seemed to be reminded by Sean, and it said "Oh!": "When you said that, I remembered something - about seven hundred years ago? Or eight hundred years ago? No matter what, anyway
A long time ago."
"I was worried about how to write a new song for the next school year, but I had no inspiration, I was just a hat! So, I wanted to look elsewhere, and you know, I was connected to the magic of Hogwarts
, to a certain extent, I can observe the outside world through everything in the castle, as long as those objects agree."
Sean nodded, he now knew why Professor Dumbledore always knew everything that happened in the castle.
"That time, my consciousness was wandering around the castle, but I suddenly saw a person -" the Sorting Hat lowered his voice when he said this, "It was a knight on an oil painting. He was formerly Hogg."
Watts' guard later died at the hands of a dark wizard, and in order to show respect, the then principal placed his oil painting in the exhibition corridor."
"As I said, the portraits in Hogwarts can create consciousness - but I don't monitor everything in the castle all the time, so it was only then that I discovered that the portrait of the knight was the same as Dumbledore.
The professor’s portrait seems to be the same thing!”
Sean immediately asked: "Where is that knight now?"
The Sorting Hat's tone became strange: "If I remember correctly, the knight's portrait seems to have been taken away by Professor Dumbledore..."
"Hey, speaking of which, I thought of something - your name, I remember, is Sean Wallop, right?"
"That's right." Sean nodded.
The Sorting Hat's tone became more doubtful: "Strange, why didn't I think of that before... I don't know the name of that knight, but he is called the Great White Rose, and his surname is also Wallop..."
Sean's pupils immediately shrank violently. A portrait in the same situation as Dumbledore was taken away by Dumbledore, and then his surname was also called Wallop?!
He immediately realized something was wrong.
Could it be that that knight is my ancestor?
The Sorting Hat seemed to have thought of this too: "Mr. Wallop, maybe you should check your genealogy. Maybe you are connected to that knight from long ago!"
Sean nodded, expressed his gratitude to the Sorting Hat, and at the other's strong request, said that he would definitely come back and take it to the most luxurious bathroom to wash the body of the hat that had not been washed for a thousand years when he was free next time.
Taking off his hat, he left the principal's office and immediately ran towards the staff lounge.
Mom and dad should be there, I have to ask dad...
A few minutes later, a father and son were welcomed into the room.
As soon as the wooden door closed, Sean asked impatiently: "Dad, do you know where the genealogy of our Wallop family is?"
Mr. Wallop showed a puzzled expression: "Aren't you always not very interested in aristocratic history? Let me think about it, I put the genealogy in the manor in the suburbs. You should remember it, right? When I was a child, I often
I will take you and your mother there together. You especially like to explore in that manor. Every time your mother, me, and a dozen servants have to look for you for a long time."
"By the way, do you remember that one time you hid in the basement? In that basement, there is our family's genealogy."
