Chapter 380: ‘Frank and Open’ Bajir
For the first time, Neville was so glad that he chose to be a student of Hogwarts.
In this way, he, who needs to take care of the courses in this world, does not need to be so exaggerated in the live broadcast room - like Ron.
Madison and others who can log in to the live broadcast platform but cannot speak are extremely glad to have chosen Ron as the time traveler, which is particularly comedic with the face of Rupert (the actor of Ron in the movie).
But the most noteworthy thing at the moment is not Ron's appearance.
For Ariana, a member of the club where Fleur went to school at Hogwarts, the sudden disappearance of Kobayashi Masaru is the most noteworthy thing.
Both of them are very confused, especially Ariana.
'Kobayashi Masaru', that is, Voldemort had inadvertently let her see his helpless expression after being bullied many times.
Although she knew that this person had bad intentions, and was no different from those male foreign students who flirted with Dumbledore, and used her as a breakthrough point, which made her feel disgusted, she was a little uncomfortable when she suddenly couldn't see him.
Furong guessed that perhaps this 'Kobayashi Masaru' saw that Ariana had not taken the bait, and was ready to do something out of line and was directly expelled.
Most students thought so.
But Suzuki Junko, an international student from the Mud Bomb Magic Institute, felt that something was wrong. They all had positioning magic on them. If they left Hogwarts, that is, this small world, he should have been discovered by the wizards of the magic institute. As the leader, she should have received the news.
But the positioning magic was still not activated, as if he was still in an environment isolated from outside exploration, and this small world was the safest and most tightly isolated environment in the world from any outside exploration.
While allowing owls to fly in and out, access the floo network, and have invisible linked train tracks, it was extremely closed.
There was a student who tried to hide in an owl by taking a shrinking potion, but was only sent back to Hogwarts, and it was impossible to observe how he entered or exited.
Just like those wizards who hung on the Hogwarts Express and prepared to dive with the Bubblehead Curse in advance, it was futile.
So, Suzuki Junko suspected that Kobayashi Masa was still in this small world, or even somewhere in Hogwarts.
Two Draco, Neville was very sure of Suzuki Junko's thoughts, if they knew.
But now.
"Didn't you say that you have already talked to Dumbledore? How come he doesn't know anything yet." Neville was anxious.
After returning from the Burrow this morning, he met Professor McGonagall who came to report the disappearance of 'Kobayashi Masa', and Dumbledore was very shocked.
"Fortunately Dumbledore knew that it was Voldemort, otherwise we would definitely go to Azkaban if we were discovered."
"But my mother" Short Draco fell into memories, and then he noticed the twitching corners of his mother's mouth at that time, and the key point 'can be regarded as'.
He quickly recounted the details he recalled.
"Can it be? Could it be." The tall Draco thought, "Gattler Grindelwald!"
Neville nodded, "It must be him, because he and Dumbledore are a couple, if he knows, he can be considered as Dumbledore knows. He certainly didn't expect us to act so quickly, so he hasn't told his lover yet!"
On the other side, in Slytherin's secret room.
The red-haired young man still wearing half-moon glasses smiled bitterly, "Tom died just like that?"
The long fingers bent, as if the stone crown fell into his hands, and the fingertips stroked the inscriptions, "Extraordinary intelligence is the greatest wealth of mankind. Filius will be very excited and crazy when he sees it."
The magic of the great wizard has already traveled around the crown during the contact. He is sure of one thing. While the crown has lost all the black magic aura, it has also lost the legendary magical effect of bringing wisdom to people.
At present, it is just an ordinary crown, with special materials at most.
And the only thing that caused this is the killing curse.
The effect it causes will be so "clean".
Thinking of this, he began to smile bitterly again.
Because this is the Unforgivable Curse, a spell that can only be cast with a real intention to kill.
And the one who cast it is a 12-year-old boy.
"Come on, Dumbledore." Basil yawned, "This is the enemy who killed his father. Even if the Ministry of Magic knew, he would not be sent to Azkaban. Maybe he could even get the Order of Merlin for this."
"The target of the murder is also important. The Ministry of Magic once allowed Aurors to use the Unforgivable Curse on dark wizards."
"Not to mention that this is Voldemort."
"The most important thing is that he will not be affected by dark magic. You don't have to worry about the soul that you care about most - which has not been completely ruined - being shattered. As long as the [Heart of Dark Magic] is successfully constructed, this can be done."
"You don't think the other Draco didn't teach him."
Basil tried hard to fulfill his responsibility as a stepfather and defended his stepson.
However, he was still a little speechless.
In the middle of the day, he was pulled away from Ariana and Fleur's arms and thighs, and then asked about the disappearance of 'Xiao Lin Zheng'.
Yes, this little world was created by him, and everything that happened in Hogwarts could not escape his eyes.
But could he, the elder brother-in-law, find him at another time and bring him here.
"How did Tom die?" Dumbledore still trusted Basil very much, and revenge for his father was something that no one could say, so he quickly asked another question.
"He was a student, but he was also a villain who should be expelled." Basil explained, "So facing him, the three of them could use any black magic, and he could only use binding spells that did not contain any malice and would not cause harm."
While Basil was speaking, Dumbledore was not idle. A faint white mist spread from his body, and when it thickened and gathered in the air like clouds, the scene of the three fighting with 'Xiao Lin Zheng' began to appear in it.
When he saw that Neville did not recite the Imperius Curse, he smiled, and when he saw the short Draco turn into a dragon, he blinked in surprise.
"Animagus? Magical creature? Is it because he lives in the basement?"
Dumbledore also sensed the darkness and chaos in the earth, but they were suppressed and connected by the [World Tree] like the light and order of the dome, forming this world.
Before, he never doubted that this profound power could be mastered by people other than Getler and Basil in the school.
These devil snares should also be because they are Basil's creations.
But now he has some doubts.
"That's because of S.G.E (School for Good and Evil). The dream world is not as monotonous as most people think." Basil chose to be straightforward.
This is also to find an excuse for Madison and the others to appear in Hogwarts openly.
"A school in a dream?" Dumbledore was surprised. "The holy sword Excalibur, the magic that created this world, all originated from it?"
"It is located in the fairy tale kingdom." Basil said, "The good and bad characters in fairy tales all come from this school, and the history of outstanding graduates will be spread to the human world as fairy tales."
"Did you resurrect Ariana?" As a wizard, Dumbledore first thought of "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" and the legend of the three brothers when he heard the fairy tale. Combined with the familiarity between Ariana and Basil, although they used the excuse of knowing each other in a dream, Dumbledore now came to a new conclusion.
The Deathly Hallows may come from the fairy tale kingdom.
There is also the magic of resurrection there.
Basil also inherited the blood of Merlin's nightmare.
Basil nodded.
"Fortunately, you are here - I mean, if it weren't for you - anyway - thank you very much!" Dumbledore began to stutter, without the calmness and composure of the greatest white wizard, the British Minister of Magic.
After calming down, he remembered to ask Basil about S.G.E., "Babbitty the Rabbit, does the Fountain of Good Luck really exist? Where are Asha who is terminally ill, Altheda who has lost her home, gold and wand, and Amata who has been abandoned by her lover?"
He is now like a child who suddenly discovers that Ultraman really exists, and he carefully, enthusiastically and naively inquires about the news of "Ultraman" in his eyes.
When he was still at his mother's knees, he listened to the stories in "The Tales of Beedle the Bard".
His favorite is "The Legend of the Three Brothers".
The favorite story of his younger brother Aberforth is "Crumb the Dirty Goat".
And Ariana, her favorite is "The Fountain of Good Luck".
Thinking of this, Dumbledore's face sank again.
In the story of "The Fountain of Good Luck", the knight who can't do magic and wield swords and guns bathed in the Fountain of Good Luck and knelt down to Amata to get her love, but he did not live a happy single life, but lived a four-person life with Asha and Altheda.
Could it be that Ariana now allowed Basil to contact Fleur, and Hermione was also influenced by this story.
For the first time, he felt the same way as Lucius Malfoy.
Lucius Malfoy once submitted a written application to ban this story: "Any fictional or non-fictional work that depicts the marriage between wizards and Muggles should be banned from the bookshelves of Hogwarts. I don't want my son to be influenced by reading these stories that promote the marriage between wizards and Muggles, and taint the purity of his bloodline."
At that time, he refused, saying that the so-called pure-blood families were self-deceiving by denying or lying that there were Muggles or Muggle-borns in their families in order to maintain the purity of their claimed bloodline.
He might be right, but now he wants to delete this story for other reasons.
Just like when he found an excuse to delete Aberforth's favorite "Crumb the Dirty Goat" in "The Tales of Beedle the Bard".
Love for those you care about is always extreme and irrational.
However, the first thing he did when he returned to the headmaster's office was not to delete this story.
Instead, he dealt with Grindelwald who was angry because he left him behind, and announced that the Ravenclaw diadem was found, and Kobayashi Masa was killed by Voldemort's soul fragment in it.
In fact, he was not prepared to announce it this way. At first, he thought that Kobayashi Masa was an innocent victim.
This announcement made Kobayashi Masa's image a little bit less glorious.
But when Basil mentioned that Kobayashi Masa actually had the idea of taking advantage of Ariana, and wanted to use force, and started planning, Dumbledore was angry.
So Kobayashi Masa's story was changed to: he deliberately did not resist, and found an excuse to go to the girls' bathroom on the third floor - the entrance to the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets, in order to awaken the monster left by Slytherin to create chaos, but in the end he found the Ravenclaw crown that was made into a dark magic prop, and finally died because of it.
As for why he was not protected and expelled by the [World Tree], it was because the Chamber of Secrets was too deep underground and was not within the range of expulsion (this loophole has been fixed), and he was not protected because he wanted to release the monster and create chaos.
After learning the news, the Mud Bomb Magic Institute quickly asked the key person who sent Kobayashi Masa to bow and apologize, and sent various resources as compensation.
Suzuki Junko and her family also quickly cut ties with Kobayashi Masa.
At the same time, this caused a huge uproar among the students.
"This guy is so mean!"
"Foreign students should get out of school!"
"Shouldn't Manstein be the one to be dealt with first? He lives with Dumbledore!"
"Didn't you hear that the loophole has been fixed? Anyone who can stay in school has good intentions."
Listening to the conversation in the corridor, Neville breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems that our guess is right. Mrs. Malfoy has communicated with Grindelwald."
The two Draco nodded.
"That's right, my mother is reliable!"
"After all, she is 'my' mother."
At the same time, Ron finally arrived at Hogwarts.
However, the expression on his face, which was as happy as a dog, froze instantly.
The furnace door of Hogwarts is in the office of the headmaster of Gryffindor - a warm little study.
Coincidentally, Professor McGonagall was correcting homework in it.
"You must be Lance Weasley. Dumbledore told me that you will come to Hogwarts in the next month to collect materials and write a book related to it." Professor McGonagall looked up and down at this Weasley, trying to find some literary temperament in him.
But unfortunately, her efforts failed.
However, out of trust in Dumbledore and the Weasley family, she still maintained a decent attitude.
Lance, at first glance, is the abbreviation of Lancelot.
Standard Weasley style.
Most of the names of the Weasley family come from the stories of King Arthur. Arthur is Arthur, and Percy is the abbreviation of Percival, the Knight of the Round Table. Ginny's full name Ginevra is the Italian form of Guinevere.
(Ginny: "Haha, Ron writes a book, what does Dumbledore think!")
(Harry: "You can't say that. Ron is a good teacher, isn't he? He has millions of fans.")
"Yes." Ron nodded like pounding garlic.
In fact, he himself couldn't find any literary temperament.
If it weren't for Hermione's urging, the library would never be a place he would go near except to do his homework.
He just recalled Lockhart's charm in the second grade and tried his best to imitate him, always with his head slightly raised, showing eight teeth, blinking, walking in small steps, with his right hand on his abdomen and his left hand behind his back.
