Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 349 Some Conversations

When I saw Lao Fu again, it was already the morning of the next day.

Ike returned to Malfoy Manor last night. It was almost dawn at that time, and he didn't sleep. He simply sat at the long table and waited quietly.Not long after, as the sun rose, the originally quiet manor regained some vitality.

"It seems that you didn't gain anything this time." Lao Fu was still wearing that worn-looking robe, Shi Shiran sat on the main seat, and touched the top of his head while talking.

"Yes, teacher..."

Ike leaned slightly, and told Lao Fu what he had seen and heard in Avalon, but only concealed the trip to Gloucester and the final compensation that might be better than nothing.

After hearing this, Lao Fu didn't make a sound for a long time, but just sat there motionless.Ike didn't say a word, staring at a beautiful pattern on the long table in front of him.

Time passed by, and other people in the manor also appeared, but seeing the scene in front of them and feeling the oppression, they all silently eased their steps.

After a long while, Lao Fu slowly opened his eyes, looked at the people standing quietly by the long table, waved his hands, let them all go out, and then said to Ike: "Let's stop here, don't leave here." Think about it there, now that we don't need the power of ancient magic so much."

"Okay, teacher." Ike nodded, hesitated a little, and asked, "Then teacher, our next step..."

Phineas was about to say something, but Dumbledore waved his wand directly, and a red curtain flew over the portrait, covering him.

"Ha!" Principal Phineas Nigellus Black in the portrait on the wall sneered when he heard this. The voice was extremely unpleasant, and immediately woke up several former principals who had fallen asleep.

Hearing this, Dumbledore was silent, and shook his head after a while, and said, "It's not everything, Phineas, I just did what I thought I should do."

This time, Dumbledore took out two more memories.One section belonged to a very old house-elf named Hao Qi, whose owner was the former owner of Slytherin's locket and the Hufflepuff cup; the other section belonged to Dumbledore himself, old V Memories of job hunting when I was young.

Lao Fu narrowed his eyes slightly, and the ruthlessness in the red pupils flashed away.

"You need to pay attention, Harry."

"you……"

Ike bowed slightly, then stood up, lowered his head and said, "Then I'll set off right away, teacher."

Having said that, Dumbledore slightly lowered his head and looked down at Harry, his old face full of seriousness and sternness.Gently pushing the glasses with his hand, he said in an unquestionable tone: "So Harry, this time I hope you will earnestly complete the homework I assigned you and get that memory."

After sitting on the chair for a while, Dumbledore picked up the cup of cocoa that had been cold for a long time on the table, drank it dry in a few sips, swallowed another candy, and then walked towards his bedroom.

"Can I trust you, Harry?"

On the day Ike returned to Malfoy Manor, Dumbledore also completed his third "teaching" to Harry.

But what else could he do? "Teaching" must continue.

After reading the two memories, Dumbledore said with a serious expression: "Pay attention to these two stories, and even the details in the ones I showed you before."

"There is no doubt that Tom Mo committed a murder again, and unlike the murder of the Riddle family, this time he was not out for revenge, but for profit. He needed Slytherin's locket and Hedge Patch Gold Cup."

"That's not realistic, Phineas."

"Very well, I hope you will always keep this in mind." Dumbledore nodded, paused, and then continued, "As for the second memory, that is, Tom came to Hogwarts to become a black magician. Professor of defense this time, I still have doubts about some things, so..."

"Voldemort must have done it!" Before Dumbledore finished speaking, Harry said angrily, "He is such an evil person!"

"So you need that memory of Professor Slughorn?"

"Just... just follow the plan and end everything in June."

Phineas is a typical member of the Black family, he never flinched even in the face of an enemy, and used vicious words to silence the other principals, so he had the proud attitude of a winner He said to Dumbledore, who had been watching for a long time, "You should believe in that child more, Dumbledore, the prophecy has already given you the answer, all you have to do is to make the prophecy come true."

He waved his wand again, and the huge red velvet curtain slowly closed, completely covering the portraits of the former headmaster on the wall, and the headmaster's office fell into silence again.

"Should we just do nothing and wait for that child to accomplish what the prophecy says he will accomplish?"

"Yes." Dumbledore said, "That is the last piece of the puzzle. I believe it can answer all the questions and give us the power to completely defeat Tom."

"I thought you would tell that child everything, Dumbledore." A voice came from behind, which also woke Dumbledore from his deep thoughts.

"We all know what those prophecies are about, Phineas." Dumbledore shook his head and said, "The prophecy points to the result, but for now, the process is the most important..."

Seeing this, Dumbledore didn't say anything more, he just waved his hand and let Harry go.Watching him walk out of the door of the principal's office, his figure disappeared at the entrance of the spiral staircase, and his eyes still did not look back.

Of course, the atmosphere in the "teaching" was not harmonious at the beginning, because Harry completely forgot the homework that Dumbledore had left him.It is true that because of Ron's indiscriminate accident at Christmas, it is normal for Harry to forget, but after that, he focused his energy on exploring Malfoy's whereabouts.

"And before that, we didn't know if he did such a thing..."

"When... of course, sir, I will do it!" Harry responded subconsciously, until Dumbledore nodded in satisfaction, and then he broke free from the atmosphere that vaguely suffocated him.

For this, Dumbledore was indeed a little disappointed.

"Go..."

He slowly sat back on his chair, flicked his wand, and a plate of bee sizzle and a cup of hot cocoa appeared on the table.Picking up a candy and throwing it into his mouth, he closed his eyes slightly to enjoy the sweet taste, and then said: "I won't pin all my hopes on one person, Phineas."

"So, you have to give your all for this?" Phineas scolded angrily.

In the next second, Phineas' voice disappeared.

As he walked, the clothes on his body changed into comfortable pajamas, and a warm nightcap fell on top of his head.The glasses and wand left the body and landed lightly on the bedside table.

Lying on the bed, the quilt was naturally covered, and two arms stretched out from the quilt, crossed and folded on the chest.

The hands are a little white, like an old man, and many age spots can be seen on them.

That's all...
