"This is an accident." Dumbledore said honestly. "You know that I am the principal of Hogwarts. I have permissions that others do not have in Hogwarts Castle. I can see all the public places in the school.
space.
A while ago, I felt that the power of the Philosopher's Stone was manifesting in the school. After careful inspection, I found that you used the Philosopher's Stone to turn an iron nail into a gold nail. This is why I asked Professor McGonagall to find you.
Li: You are the second alchemist I know who can make the Philosopher's Stone, and today before I fell into coma, the elixir of life was among the things I could think of that could save me."
As soon as Dumbledore mentioned Ryan, he knew what was going on: he was indeed a little overly excited after making the Madonna of the Rose, but he didn't expect the principal of Hogwarts to monitor the school so much. The only thing
Even one of his gaffes was discovered.
Of course, this was also related to the special power of the Philosopher's Stone. Ryan felt that if he had done something else, he probably wouldn't have been discovered.
"Then how are you sure that I will use the Philosopher's Stone to save you?" Ryan asked another question, "Aren't you worried that I'm just here to keep it secret? You know this is the elixir of life, and I want to keep it a secret.
Secrets are normal."
"Ah, kid, I've always thought you were a good person." Professor Dumbledore directly sent Ryan a good person card. "I've been sure of this since you helped Harry stop Voldemort's conspiracy when you were in first grade.
So I believe that as long as you have a way to save me, you will definitely help me."
At this point, Dumbledore paused, and then said: "I know there are many secrets in your heart that you don't want to share with others, but it's nothing. Everyone is like this, even me. Ryan, you don't have to
Because you have your own secrets and are so cautious in life. You just need to make sure that everything you do will not hurt others. As a young person, you should have a young life. You don’t have to do everything like me.
There are so many things to consider.”
"That's because the secrets I hide in my heart may be beyond your imagination!" Ryan thought, but he did not say these words. Instead, he thanked Principal Dumbledore for his concern and told
He wanted to take a good rest and adjust his body before leaving.
Early the next morning, everyone got up early and rushed to the auditorium. This was not because everyone was in a hurry to eat, but because everything that happened last night made everyone very uneasy, so everyone wanted to get the latest news.
After entering the auditorium door, everyone immediately looked at the seat in the middle of the table at the front of the auditorium. When they confirmed that Professor Dumbledore was sitting there eating as usual, everyone seemed much more relaxed. Because
For the students, no matter how dangerous things happen, as long as Principal Dumbledore is still there, everything will not be too bad.
After finishing the meal, almost everyone stayed in their seats and looked at Principal Dumbledore, because everything that happened yesterday had spread throughout the campus. The infiltration and sneak attack of the Death Eaters, the defection of the professor, and the rumors outside
There were even more unfavorable rumors of many professors being injured or even killed.
All this made the students who were already uneasy because of the recent bad situation even more nervous, and some of them had even taken action. For example, this morning, Ryan saw the father of the Parvati twins, an Indian wizard with his head covered.
The two sisters were picked up at dawn.
Hermione said that after she returned to the dormitory last night, she saw Parvati Patil packing her suitcase. After going to bed, she told Lavender that her father actually planned to do so after confirming the return of the mysterious man last year.
Let her go back to India to go to school, but in the end he didn't do it because Hogwarts was the safest place in the UK. But a tragedy happened here today. Five people even died. So her father really couldn't tolerate his daughter
Being in such a dangerous environment, we decided to take them back to India.
"At that time, she also persuaded me to leave the UK and seek refuge in other places, such as China, because my family is in China, and at the same time, your bloodline can allow the magic world of China to accept us both." Hermione was like this during breakfast.
Said to Ryan.
"It seems that everyone is very uneasy now. Fortunately, Dumbledore came out." Ryan looked at Dumbledore sitting there eating with admiration. He knew that even if he drank a whole bottle of Immortality for Dumbledore yesterday,
While using the elixir, he also used magic to control the curse, but before the problem was completely solved, the principal had better lie down and rest, otherwise the feeling of being hollowed out and powerless would not be something ordinary people could bear. He thought that Dumbledore
Professor Lido may have thought of this before he endured the pain and went out to eat to calm his heart.
"Quiet." After realizing that everyone did not leave after eating but stared at him, Dumbledore knocked on the cup twice to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said, "I think you already know some things. Yesterday Voldemort and his
The henchmen launched a full-scale attack, and even Hogwarts was infiltrated by enemies."
"But we have won. All the enemies have been expelled or eliminated. So you can rest assured that Hogwarts will still continue. I know that some people may leave us temporarily because of parents' worries or other reasons. But I want to assure you
I guarantee that as long as there is one student who wants to come to school, the school will continue to operate. And I will always be here to do my best to guide you, help you, and protect you."
Bang, bang, bang - as soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, applause erupted from the Gryffindor table. Ryan, Harry, and Ron all clapped, and then more and more people applauded.
The final applause echoed in the auditorium like thunder.
Dumbledore's speech was still very effective, and only a few students left until the evening. Most students still decided to stay in school to complete their studies. They, like their parents, were full of hope for the school and Dumbledore.
confidence.
It's just that Dumbledore didn't pay attention to this scene at this time. He was now in his principal's office watching Ryan and Hermione arrange some strange things in front of him.
"These oil lamps - they look like something from the Celestial Empire." Professor Dumbledore is a very knowledgeable wizard, so after careful observation, he could see what kind of magic Ryan used, but he didn't know clearly.
What to do next.
"This is an ancient celestial magic that has a history of nearly two thousand years." Ryan said and placed a large oil lamp at the height of his knees in the middle of Dumbledore's office.
At this time, the principal's office was completely different from before. All the space below had been cleared. Seven large oil lamps were placed on the ground according to the positions of the Big Dipper, and seven or forty-nine small oil lamps were arranged around it. The one Ryan had just placed
The oil lamp is the most important natal lamp in this magic ceremony and is placed in the middle of the entire magic circle.
"What should I do next?" The sun was gradually setting, and Professor Dumbledore watched as Ryan and Hermione filled each oil lamp with lamp oil mixed with the elixir and lit it five minutes ago.
Wearing a purple robe, he stood on the second floor of the office and asked.
"Next, you need to connect your mind to the oil lamp in the center, and then read the above in Mandarin. After that, it is our business." Ryan said, pulling out a jade stone from the space bag.
For the sake of simplicity, Jinwei compiled a letter inlaid with gold characters and handed it to Principal Baduo who walked downstairs.
The tablets were all written in the Celestial Dynasty. Fortunately, Dumbledore had mastered hundreds of languages, including these. So after following Ryan's instructions to connect his mind with the oil lamp in the center, he
He sat down cross-legged and unfolded the jade slips and read in Mandarin smoothly: "Albus was born in troubled times, Gan Lao Lin Quan——"
Although the overall atmosphere here is very serious, Ryan always felt something strange when watching Principal Dumbledore reciting these ancient poems in Mandarin. Fortunately, this memorial poem was not long, and he quickly read the last sentence. "
——Looking at the mercy of God, he bends down to listen and listens, and makes calculations for the servants, so that the superiors can carry out the will of Heaven, and the subordinates can save the lives of the people, restore the old things, and get rid of the evildoers. I don’t dare to pray in vain, it is really out of emotion."
As Dumbledore's words fell, the flames on all the lamps suddenly jumped up. The jade slip in his hand instantly turned into blue smoke and floated upward, disappearing into the void before touching the roof.
"It's done." Ryan said to Dumbledore after seeing all the smoke disappear. "Then you just need to stay in the principal's office from sunset to sunrise every day, and you must ensure that these oil lamps do not go out.
.Please leave the other matters to us."
"Then I'll leave it to you." After Dumbledore said that, he stood up and returned to the desk moved upstairs to start processing documents. Voldemort's large-scale attack made Dumbledore, the number one white wizard, have a heavy workload recently.
