Chapter 71 The Great Dumbledore (Third)

"Haagen-Dazs!"

Standing in the corridor on the third floor, Dumbledore said a password.

The monster suddenly came to life, leaping aside, the wall behind it split in two.

Behind the wall is a spiral staircase that is slowly moving upwards, like an escalator.

As soon as Dumbledore and William stepped up, there was a boom behind and the wall closed again.

They spun and rose higher and higher, higher and higher, like an elevator.

William felt that this kind of good thing should be spread to the whole school, instead of letting students take the stairs and the principal take the elevator.

Soon, a shiny oak door with a brass knocker in the shape of a griffin appeared in front of them.

William glanced at the door knocker a few more times, he was already a little sensitive to such things.

Pushing open the door and walking in, Professor Dumbledore took out a piece of parchment and began to write something.

William stood there alone. This was the first time he had come to the principal's office, and he looked around.

It's a large, beautiful circular room full of funny little voices.On the slender-legged table, there are many strange silverware, spinning and spewing small puffs of smoke.

The walls are covered with portraits of old school principals and school principals, all snoring softly in their respective frames.

There is also a huge table in the room with claw-shaped legs.On a shelf behind the desk stood a tattered, wrinkled wizard hat—the Sorting Hat.

Soon, Dumbledore finished writing and put the parchment in the fireplace. After a burst of flames, the parchment disappeared.

William knew that Dumbledore was writing to the Ministry of Magic, otherwise Fudge and the others would not have come so soon.

After finishing all this, the headmaster stood up, stared at William, did not communicate with him in depth, but said: "William, I still have something to prove, you wait here for me, don't wander around."

"Just eat here at noon. There are many books in the room, you can read them casually."

William nodded hastily.

Dumbledore strode out, and the wooden door closed again.

Those principals stopped pretending to be asleep, but opened their eyes one after another, and began to look at William.

It seemed like they hadn't seen a new face in too long, and everyone was excited and out of frame, ready to call the other principals back.

Being stared at by so many people, William felt uncomfortable all over, but fortunately, there were things he was familiar with in this room.

William quietly walked around the table, picked up the hat on the shelf, and looked at it carefully without putting it on his head.

The hat was still as dirty as ever, as if it hadn't been washed in hundreds of years.

At this time, a small voice said: "You are still alive, William Stark?"

"I thought you were killed by Snape long ago."

When this matter was mentioned, William's anger flared up. He smiled maliciously and said, "Thanks to you, I survived, but Professor Snape went to Azkaban."

"..."

"Oh, by the way, where's the little spider?" William asked.

The Sorting Hat asked vigilantly, "What do you want?"

Before it finished speaking, the little spider came out of the ball of wool.

It just seemed to be sleeping.

"It's still there." William stared at the spider, wondering, "It's so strange, I remember that acromantula were very big when they were born, right?"

After nearly a year of study, William is no longer a primary school student who just entered school, and knows a lot.

The eggs of acromantula are the size of a golf ball, and the spider in front of me is too small.

The Sorting Hat replied, "It's a mutant. It's too small. It's excluded by its kind. Poor little guy."

"Then this mutation is too outrageous?"

William hasn't met his parents for two meters, and his son is a dwarf. Your gene mutation is too unreasonable.

The way William looked at the little spider changed immediately. He felt that either he had reported the wrong baby, or that the spider's father had been cheated on!
William looked at the Sorting Hat, wanting to wash it while Dumbledore was away, but after thinking about the current atmosphere, he still didn't do it.

Anyway, he doesn't want to wear this hat in the future, let the troubles be left to the juniors and girls.

Fawkes, Professor Dumbledore's phoenix, stood on a golden perch by the door, the size of a swan, with dazzling crimson and gold plumage.

It shook its long tail feathers and gave William a friendly wink.William swallowed. He hadn't eaten a Scotch turkey yet.

Putting down his hat, William walked to the window and looked out the window. The crowd was already walking towards the castle. Qiu, Cedric and the twin brothers were looking around on the playground, looking for William.

It wasn't until several people left the Quidditch field that William left the window and returned to the office.

Dumbledore hadn't come back yet, and it was really boring to wait here for a long time. William decided to follow Dumbledore's suggestion and read a book to pass the time.

Studying in the principal's office is indeed enough.

William opened a side door next to it and exclaimed. It turned out that the inside was densely packed with books, like a small library.

William walked straight to the bookshelf labeled Learning.

As we all know, the folder named learning in the computer is generally full of unhealthy things. William thinks that there will be a big treasure he wants in this bookshelf.

Well, he's obviously overthinking it, and here are indeed learning books.

William casually flipped through a few books, which didn't even have creases that had been opened, and were as clean as newly bought books.

William shook his head. People who put books in their office are usually just pretending and would never read them.

Tsk tsk, it seems that Headmaster Dumbledore is not exempt.

Wait, William glanced at the author and found that it was Dumbledore.

excuse me!
William flipped through a few more books, and found that they were all books written by Dumbledore himself, or books he collaborated with other famous wizards.

There are also some well-known journals, such as "Spell Innovation" and "Practical Potion Master", which contain a large number of Dumbledore's articles.

These journals are equivalent to SCI in the Muggle world.

Ordinary people would die if they posted an article, but Dumbledore has been posting since the fourth grade. Over the past 100 years, he has posted thousands of articles!

The most important thing is that he didn't only develop in a certain field, but made achievements in almost all fields.

This is the real academic giant.

Dumbledore was able to achieve his current status not simply by defeating Grindelwald.

That is just a trivial achievement among his many achievements.

Dumbledore is great because he has promoted the development of the magic world in all aspects.

Whether it is peaceful or academic!

There is no doubt that this is the kind of wizard William wants to be.
