Chapter 683 Pears
The father and daughter talked for a while, a little unfamiliar.
"Helena, do you really not want me to admit our relationship to the public now?"
"Dad, wait until you look older than me. I'll go find my mother first."
Helena straightened her body lightly, rose slowly, pulled her body out of the ground, and then spun around three times. Her posture was as stiff as a puppet being manipulated, and she had maintained a arrogant and cold attitude for a long time. , has stopped her from making too many expressions, and she expressed her joy in this way with some unfamiliarity.
Allen smiled softly and waved to Helena understandingly. He watched his daughter pass through the ceiling and leave the basement to find her mother Luna. He looked at the surrounding environment and judged the general direction of the auditorium. Allen Walking along a corridor, now that he was in the basement, Alan wanted to go to the Hogwarts kitchen next to the Hufflepuff lounge. He planned to take the things Bonnie had hidden for him.
A letter with golden phoenix wings suddenly floated in front of him, making Allen stop.
Obviously, in the entire British wizarding world, apart from himself, there is only one person who can use phoenix wings to send messages, the principal of Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore.
Allen reached out and opened the letter. Dumbledore, who already knew about Allen's return to school, invited him to the principal's office before lunch, and finally wrote "caramel popcorn" to inform Allen of the door opening order.
A quill pen appeared in Allen's hand, and Allen quickly wrote a reply on the parchment. He also had something to talk to Dumbledore, hoping to change his mind.
After writing a reply, Allen did not immediately leave for the principal's office, but continued towards the wide stone corridor where the entrance to the kitchen was. The surrounding area was very brightly illuminated by torches, and was decorated with pleasant pictures everywhere. The main paintings on it were It's something to eat. Allen stopped in front of a picture of a huge silver bowl filled with fruit.
This is the door leading to the kitchen. As long as you stretch out your index finger and scratch the big green pear in the picture, the pear will squirm and giggle, and then turn into a big green doorknob, and then you can Open the door and walk in - there are also four long wooden tables placed in the kitchen, the positions are exactly the same as the tables of the four colleges in the auditorium above. At mealtime, food is delivered from the kitchen table to the equivalent college table in the auditorium above.
There are hundreds of house elves working in the Hogwarts kitchen, where you can get absolute preferential treatment from them. They will rush to deliver the food to you whatever you want to eat.
It's just that this time Alan didn't walk in. His goal was not the kitchen full of rich food, nor the house elves who were enthusiastic and provided absolutely attentive service. He gently raised his hands, aimed at the picture on the wall, then moved the picture down with a slight step, flipped the picture over, and took off the baffle behind it. There was another piece of silver fruit bowl hidden behind it. A portrait: On the grass outside the Hufflepuff tavern, Bonnie, with slightly sunken eyes and red hair, straightened her body and sat on a chair, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, looking very dignified. Merlin, who had grown into a young man, stood behind her with a bright smile. And in the window of the tavern behind them, Aiutelefer was holding the lute and singing to Hufflepuff. Across the sparkling lake in front of the lawn, the small village in the distance is immersed in the afterglow of the sunset. The villagers are carrying farm tools and working in the woods and fields. Swinging it around, everything seemed quiet and peaceful. That was the place where Merlin had lived since he was a child - Crowhurst Village. Obviously, this small village was added by Merlin later to commemorate the place where he lived and where he first met his teacher.
After detaching the painting from its frame and putting it back on the backsplash, Allen returned the silver bowl of fruit that served as the entrance to the kitchen to its original position.
He took out his pocket watch and checked the time. He put it into his pocket before he could say hello to everyone in the portrait. Allen stepped into the shadows and teleported to the door of the principal's office - without shouting a password, the stone monster separated to the left and right. Allen walked up the movable spiral staircase and came to the oak door, which opened by itself.
Dumbledore sat behind the large principal's desk, looked at Allen carefully with wide eyes, nodded at him, and Allen gave a slight salute and walked towards him. There was a gentle flapping sound of wings, and the phoenix Fox left the branch where it was perching, flew over from the other side of the office, and flew around Allen, "Hello, Fox." Allen said softly, and he stroked With the beautiful golden and red feathers of the phoenix, Fox blinked at him calmly - although they didn't meet many times, Allen's Animagus made him very popular with Fox.
"Would you like anything to drink?" Dumbledore said pleasantly, holding out his hand for Alan to sit in the armchair opposite his headmaster's desk.
"Butterbeer," Alan replied calmly as he sat down.
"Would you like some more popcorn? I've been obsessed with this stuff recently. It's very suitable for eating while watching TV...it's caramel and crispy, sweet and delicious." A small basket of caramel popcorn appeared in front of Allen, and butterbeer gurgled from the The flask slipped into a glass beer mug.
Allen raised his glass and exchanged greetings with Dumbledore, and took a sip - the house elves in the Hogwarts kitchen were obviously very skilled at cooking. They added a little salt when cooking the syrup to balance the sweetness. , which made Alan feel that it was more to his taste than what was sold in The Three Broomsticks.
"Professor Harris, it seems that you have had a great adventure. I am very happy to welcome you back to Hogwarts." Dumbledore looked at Allen's silver hair, pale cheeks, and the unusual, Dressed in the style of an ancient wizard.
"Thank you, Principal Dumbledore. Congratulations on recovering most of your identity, and welcome back to Hogwarts." Allen welcomed him in a master's tone, "You have not been removed from the Chocolate Frog Card. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net ”
This made Dumbledore slightly surprised, but he was relieved when he thought that the Harris family was one of the school directors.
"They know that as long as they don't take me off the chocolate frog card, I won't be really angry." Dumbledore said with a smile, as if he was very grateful for this, and then he put down the beer glass in his hand, quite Wei said seriously: "As the principal of Hogwarts - no, this is a bit arrogant. As an old man who has been engaged in education for many years, Alan, please listen to my request."
"Oh? The purpose of my coming here should be similar to the content of your request...but please tell me first." Allen took another sip of butterbeer and put down the glass, then crossed his hands on the table and prepared to listen to the other party. Views.
"Alan, I have absolutely no objection to your teaching students ancient magic and dueling training. I admit that my ideas on the past educational path have been a bit over-protective for young wizards. I have also been distracted by too many other things. Distraction, the help of your training class to the students of Hogwarts is obvious to all." Dumbledore put his arms on the table and moved his face closer to Allen. He said in a sincere tone, " But I still hope you don’t teach students black magic, Alan, I think you should understand what I mean, not all little wizards can be as firm in their beliefs as you are."
