Chapter 204: Talks and Freshmen Lesson 1
Dumbledore sat in his seat as the headmaster, looking at Harry with a solemn expression, while Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape, with long black hair and a hooked nose, acted as the left and right protectors, standing by Dumbledore's side on the left and right.
In front of Dumbledore, Harry honestly described the whole process from the appearance of Dobby, the house-elf, to the sealing of the passage at the train station, and the experience of being rescued by Leyuan and taken to the train, except for concealing the ownership of the flying car, and describing the whole process quite specifically.
Dumbledore didn't say much about what Harry had concealed in his story, but continued to stare at them through the glasses he was wearing.
The invisible pressure made Ron quickly despair, he lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry Professor, I'll go pack now." β
"What do you say? Mr. Weasley. Professor McGonagall shouted on the side.
"Aren't we fired?" Ron was a little sluggish, but he understood how serious the events had been today.
I saw Dumbledore raise his head and look at Le Yuan behind Harry and said, "Mr. Phil, do you have any opinion on this matter?" β
Le Yuan nodded at Dumbledore and said, "Just call me Zax, Professor." I don't think Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley are entirely to blame for this, after all, no one would have thought that this would happen at the station, and it is normal for young students to panic for a while, and I think it is okay to warn them and make them understand their mistakes, after all, they are still very young. β
"It seems that Zax, you and I are of the same opinion...... Dumbledore looked at Harry, "you will not be expelled, but I must make you feel the gravity of your actions, and I will write to your family tonight." I must also warn you that if you behave like this again, I will have to expel you. β
Upon receiving the news that they had not been expelled, Harry and Ron had a desperate smile on their faces, and after one glance at each other, they quickly left the headmaster's office.
There are only five people left in the principal's room. I saw Dumbledore stand up. His eyes looked at Le Yuan's right finger for some reason, and after confirming it, he asked: "What you have in your hand is the legendary Merlin's dragon ring, I really didn't expect the legend to be true, I don't know if Mr. Balthazar is okay lately?" β
"Balthazar? Balthazzebrlake? That legendary Merlin's disciple? Professor Snape on the side asked, incredulously, "Isn't that a legend?" And the Black family did not admit his existence either. β
The Black family is naturally the family of Sirius Black, the godfather of Harry Potter, and in a sense their ancestors are indeed relatives of Balthazar, but they have not been in touch for a long time.
Le Yuan stepped forward and said: "Teacher, he is doing well, and he has successfully escaped from the long-term burden, and he is on his honeymoon with his sister Veronica, and it will probably take a long time to be idle." β
Dumbledore's mirror flashed. With a sudden smile on his face, he said, "It seems that Mr. Balthazar has solved Morgana's problem while we don't know?" It's something to celebrate, but now I apologize to you, Zax, for letting you take on the role of teaching assistant without your consent, you wouldn't mind. β
Le Yuan shook his head and said, "Of course not, I'm worried that I won't be able to do a good job as a teaching assistant, and there is one thing I want to trouble you." Saying that, Le Yuan moved Tom from the space. Riddle took out his diary and said, "Not long ago I stumbled upon this incredible thing. Riddle's diary, but I don't have any good way to spoil it. Do you have any countermeasures? β
"Tom. Riddle? Professor McGonagall exclaimed, who had to say anything other than Dumbledore. Outside of the most familiar name of Riddle, I'm afraid it will belong to her.
Dumbledore frowned, then picked up his wand and cast a spell that sealed off the headmaster's room. Then take Tom from Le Yuan's hand. Riddle's diary was carefully examined and then said, "Such a powerful black magic, I didn't expect Tom to actually make such a powerful magic tool, but why is there no reaction now?" "Instruments with powerful magic generally have a mind of their own. But the diary was completely unmoving.
Le Yuan raised his hand and said, "I have temporarily sealed it, and it has continued to use the Spiritual Enchantment Technique since I took over, trying to keep me under its control. But when I saw the evil soul fragment it hidden, I was already on guard against him, and in order to prevent it from happening, I kept it sealed, I don't know what you think? β
"Evil souls, are they Horcruxes?" Dumbledore pressed his wand against the diary, and in a moment a flame rose out of thin air and completely enveloped the diary, although it did no harm to the table at all, but Le Yuan had no doubt about its great power.
This flame lasted less than five minutes, and after putting away his wand, Dumbledore shook his head and said, "It is indeed a Horcrux, and it should be a Horcrux made by Tom in the early days, otherwise it would not have been easily destroyed by my flames." "In just five minutes, half of the diary cover has been burned." The only thing that can destroy a Horcreature must be a substance that is so destructive that the Horcrux can no longer be repaired with magic. β
"I don't know, Headmaster, have you heard of the Chamber of Secrets?" Le Yuan took the diary that was being recovered and took it back into the space backpack and asked, "I've heard this word from the soul fragments in the diary, and it seems that the guy in here intends to release the things in the secret room." β
"The Chamber of Secrets? Although there have been rumors that Slytherin has created a secret room, I have never found it, but since Tom has confirmed its existence, I will arrange for someone to find it, can you keep that Horcrux? "As for Le Yuan's strength, Dumbledore already knew from the seal in the diary that it was definitely not bad, at least he couldn't break it in a short period of time.
"Hah-" At this time, Yui, who had been staying by Le Yuan's side, yawned, rubbed her eyes, and her body was already leaning on Le Yuan's body.
Le Yuan said to Dumbledore, "Absolutely no one can take it from me, so be it for today, I want to go back to rest with Yui first." β
Becoming a teaching assistant at Hogwarts is naturally not without benefits, at least there is no need to be as busy dealing with various subjects as a student, nor does he need to worry about schoolwork like professors of various subjects, and Le Yuan has more time to go to the library to find materials.
But Yui didn't have to worry about him at all, the books that Le Yuan couldn't remember were directly scanned and recorded by her, which was more than a hundred times faster than Le Yuan's reading.
The next afternoon, by Gildero. The Defence Against the Dark Arts class hosted by Lockhart started, and Le Yuan, as a teaching assistant, came to the classroom early.
As soon as they came to the classroom, they saw Harry and Malfoy pinching each other, but after seeing Le Yuan, both of them couldn't help but restrain their tempers, and Le Yuan's transfiguration yesterday stunned everyone, and they were afraid that they would become immobile photos after provoking Le Yuan.
Harlot came to the classroom at this time, and when the class of forty people was seated, he cleared his throat, smiled at Le Yuan on the side, and then stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
He reached out and picked up Neville. Longbottom's "Walking with Trolls" is held in his hand, showing a picture of himself blinking on the cover.
Then, fearing that there were still people who didn't know him, he pointed to his picture and said, "I, Gildero. Lockhart, 3rd Class Medal of the Order of the Merlin Order, Honorary Member of the Anti-Dark Arts League, five-time winner of Wizarding Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award - but I don't talk about that, I'm not smiling to exorcise the ghosts of Bandung!"
Originally, he wanted to make everyone laugh with such a witty remark, but only a few female voices smiled faintly.
However, after seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Harlot picked up the paper he had prepared, and said as he handed it out, "I see that you have all bought my complete set of booksβvery good." I thought we'd do a quiz today. Don't be afraid - just see how well you read and how much ...... you understand."
When all the students arrived, he handed a roll to Le Yuan's hand, "Mr. Zax, as an assistant in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, you should also know me completely, so that you can better cooperate with my work, right?" β
Le Yuan reluctantly took the scroll in his hand, picked up a quill and answered, although he looked down on Harlot, an unreliable person, but he also read his book when he was bored, but he automatically replaced the protagonist of the story, it can be said that he is still very successful as a writer.
Half an hour later, Lockhart put the test paper away and looked through it in front of the class.
"Tsk - I didn't expect that almost no one except Mr. Zax knew that my favorite color was lilac, as I mentioned in A Year with the Tibetan Yeti. If you're still a Hogwarts student, I'll give you extra points. Harlot gave a thumbs up to Le Yuan.
Harry and Ron, who were in the seats, looked at Le Yuan with slightly puzzled eyes, as if they didn't understand how Le Yuan could know such a strange question.
"A few of you want to read Weekend with Werewolves again - I made it clear in Chapter 12 that my ideal birthday present is for all who can and can't do magic to get along with each other - but I won't say no to a large bottle of Ogden Aged Heat Whiskey!" As he spoke, Harlot winked mischievously at a couple of students who didn't answer.
Hearing this, Le Yuan somewhat understood why Dumbledore would let such a Harlot, who was famous for his "forgetfulness and emptiness", be the professor of the Defence Against the Dark Arts class, in addition to Harlot's indifference under the influence of "curse", there was also Harlot's attitude towards ordinary people that was secretly in line with Dumbledore's thoughts.
