Chapter 69: Dumbledore's Grand Master Skills
Now it's time for the school to start the curfew, and this is the second night! Dumbledore has just asked two groups of professors to continue their routine patrols in the castle to guard against students who dare to come out at night to make trouble!
And in the headmaster's office at Hogwarts Castle, Dumbledore is holding a glass bottle in his right hand with something shiny on it! He was contemplating something, and the fingers of his left hand tapped the armrest of the recliner rhythmically.
Although many things have happened in school recently, but fortunately, everything is still under his control. The hiding place of the basilisk has been almost scouted by his Phoenix Fox. Now he can monitor the basilisk at any time to ensure that it will not cause fatal harm to his students!
The only thing that puzzled him was why it was Ginny, the little girl from the Weasley family, who opened the secret room and released the basilisk this time? He thought it was some little guy from Slytherin! For example, the Malfoy family who were very close to Voldemort!
But what happened? What about the secret room that only the heirs of Slytherin can open? Ginny is obviously a Gryffindor, okay? Not only is she a Gryffindor, her whole family are Gryffindors! look! What a family of upright seedlings! Her father is still one of her capable men! Why did she somehow become the descendant of Slytherin? It shouldn't be!
Dumbledore felt that this matter was very strange! There are also many unreasonable places! In it, there must be some details that he didn't notice! Therefore, he needs more time to observe and observe! Research research!
So, Dumbledore decided not to scare the snake for the time being, but to wait and see for a while, and wait until he figured out the whole story before making the next step! What's more, he plans to keep this basilisk to train Harry Potter! This is the candidate he has been optimistic about for a long time, and he is planning to use it against Voldemort in the future! After all, Dumbledore himself is very old, and his magic power is beginning to decline!
Besides, Harry Potter is a short-sighted kid with four eyes! He wears glasses anytime, anywhere! Even if my plan fails by then, or something goes wrong! After Harry Potter saw the eyes of the basilisk, at most he was petrified! It is precisely because of the layer of insurance such as glasses that Dumbledore can arrange it with confidence!
In Dumbledore's view, when the time comes, if it really doesn't work, there should be time for him to come forward and clean up the mess! After all, Fox was monitoring the basilisk the whole time! Isn't it just like playing with him, Dumbledore, picking up a basilisk? Maybe the sight of the basilisk is just a joke to himself? Although he is very old, it is still safe to deal with a basilisk! You can clean it up in minutes with your eyes closed, absolutely nothing will happen!
Originally, Dumbledore was still a little worried. He was afraid that other students would be careless. If they saw the basilisk's eyes and killed themselves, there would be a big mess! Think of myrtle back then! Ugh……! That poor child! Back then, if she hadn't taken off her glasses while crying, she probably wouldn't have died, right? What a pity!
But now Dumbledore can rest assured! Because the prefects of the various colleges have just come to report one after another: just today, the twin brothers of the Weasley family, George and Fred, are selling those flat glasses and rooster pronunciation boxes in the school! Almost all students at Hogwarts now have at least one of them!
How happy Dumbledore was when he heard the news! As long as the students wear glasses before going out or scare away the basilisk with the sound of a rooster, coupled with his secret monitoring, it is really foolproof! This is very beneficial to his plan! It's just a matter of petrifying a few unlucky students!
Anyway, the mandrakes in the school are about to mature, it's just a matter of making more or less potions! This is not a problem at all to Headmaster Dumbledore! Magic schools are still quite rich! How to spend it is entirely up to him, the principal, to decide!
After thinking about the troublesome things,
Dumbledore, who had regained his senses, once again focused his attention on the glass bottle in his hand, which contained some fluffy shiny objects. It was a copy of the memory he obtained from Hermione Granger by secretly using his eloquence when Anne was not at school during the day!
It's not too easy for Dumbledore to fool a little girl like Hermione who has no experience in the world! Just pick up something nice and throw it at it, and the little girl will fall into the urn! For example: For the future of the wizarding world, for the peace of the world, etc., there are some righteous words, and there are some words before he has time to finish, the little girl has already been fooled by him to the point of dizziness! And obediently asked him to copy a copy of the important knowledge that little Annie taught her!
The reason for doing this is because Dumbledore discovered that the female student named Hermione Granger's magic power has grown extremely rapidly recently! You have to know, no matter how talented she is, no matter how powerful she is! The growth of magic power increases slowly with age! The difference is only the height they can grow to in the end!
After all, the magic power that a wizard can hold in his body is always limited! Just like Dumbledore, when he was at his peak, in terms of the amount of magic power alone, it would never exceed three times the average level of wizards! The reason why he is recognized as the most powerful wizard in the wizarding world is simply due to more knowledge reserves, more contacts, more magic spells and better spellcasting skills! Even Rebellious Little Tom is like this! The level of magical power of adult wizards is predictable, which is already an iron rule recognized by the wizarding world!
But now, even the most gifted student who has ever appeared in the history of Hogwarts school, the speed of magic growth is not as fast as that of Hermione Granger! Even worse! It's only been a few days! Then Hermione's magic power has almost doubled! Is this something a normal wizard can do? Doubling in a few days, is it worth it if it goes on like this?
It is precisely because Miss Granger's magic power has grown so amazingly that her performance finally scared Dumbledore! So, taking advantage of little Annie not being at school during the day, he quickly and secretly used a master-level deception technique on Hermione, and easily got everything he wanted to know!
It turned out that the astonishing changes in Hermione's body were due to a meditation technique to exercise magic power! It turns out that magic power can also be increased by exercise! Instead of relying on wizards to grow naturally with age, as they always thought!
Sure enough, it was the same as he had guessed at the beginning! The changes that appeared in Hermione were indeed taught by little Annie! This is amazing! After reading the content of the memory just now, Dumbledore couldn't stop feeling emotional, which strengthened his original idea of wanting to keep dragging little Annie!
Maybe when, what good things will Little Annie release again? Therefore, he intends to continue to suppress the batch of materials from the Ministry of Magic, and it will be a day if it can be delayed! It's best to delay it for a year or two. In this way, maybe there will be more surprises in the future?
After a personal experiment just now, Dumbledore came to the conclusion: Although this basic exercise of magic power meditation is not very useful for adult wizards whose magic power has been finalized, it has an unusually significant effect on young wizard students Effect! That Hermione change said it all! And that basic application of arcane models and frame analysis is of great use to all wizards!
Let’s just talk about Miss Granger who is currently practicing meditation. As long as she persists and exercises every day, with her talent and good habits of hard work, Dumbledore believes that within three years, she may even It only takes about two years! The accumulation of magic power in her body will definitely surpass her, the strongest white wizard in the world, in one fell swoop! There is no doubt about it!
Even if it's replaced by a stupid and lazy thing, such as Ron at the end of the crane! As long as he practices this meditation technique, it doesn't matter even if he fishes for three days and spends two days with nets! In a few years, when he graduates, he will also have a level of magic power comparable to his own now! And, by that time, he wasn't even twenty years old! There is still huge room for growth! look! What a mighty power this is!
Looking at the glass bottle with memories in his hand, Dumbledore was filled with emotion! If I write down this meditation technique myself, and then select a few students who are good-natured, talented, and loyal to me to teach it to me, just like Harry! So, after a few years, regardless of spellcasting skills, just by the strength of magic power, any of them can beat Voldemort in his prime, right?
think about it! A few years later, one day, Voldemort, the anti-bones boy, finally successfully resurrected and returned again. When he was full of confidence, he gathered a large group of Death Eaters and clamored to rule the wizarding world again! But Dumbledore, who was sitting firmly in Hogwarts, just waved his hand and sent out a few teenage boys, who were able to clean up Voldemort and his gang of Death Eaters without any effort. Partisans! This picture is simply too beautiful! Dumbledore didn't dare to look at it!
Dumbledore felt that he could no longer think like this, something would happen! In severe cases, you will be so excited that you will have a cerebral hemorrhage! It may also lead to self-satisfaction! This is very bad! very bad! Let's be humble! Be cautious!
The most important thing right now is to first transcribe this important meditation technique, and temporarily prevent others from knowing that I stole it from Miss Granger's mind! How shameless is it that a dignified headmaster fools his own students and peeps at other people's intellectual wealth?
After sorting out everything, Dumbledore finally sat down at the headmaster's desk, grabbed the quill, spread out a roll of fine parchment enchanted with an indestructible spell, and then gritted his teeth and opened a bottle of precious Dragon blood ink, these things can make the knowledge he wrote down more able to stand the test of time! He was going to carefully copy down everything he saw from Hermione's memory, word for word!
"You thief! Hypocrite! Bad old man! Thanks to you for doing such a thing! It's a disgrace to our Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!" The portrait of a certain Slytherin headmaster on the wall was cursing at Dumbledore . Although the other portraits next to them didn't scold, they were either silent or frowning at Dumbledore.
"I don't think you should do that either, Dumbledore!" said another portrait of the female Headmaster.
Dumbledore stopped writing, looked at the portraits and thought for a while, then raised his hand and cast a permanent silence spell on the portrait that dared to curse him the most, and then picked up the quill and continued to work hard. hum! The old man has a good temper!
It's just a portrait of a dead person, and it belongs to the previous principals! Not worth Dumbledore's distraction, just shut it up! Compared to this precious meditation technique, everything else is trivial and not worth mentioning! He decided to write these things in one go while he was still full of energy, and then go back and have a good sleep!
