Fire Bearer at Hogwarts

Chapter 15 Night

After the meal, Dumbledore looked at the students who were full and clapped their hands, removing the delicacies from the table.

"Before going to bed... I think I should introduce our new professors." He smiled and pointed at Thom. "First of all, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor for grades four to seven—Mr. Cottle Thom."

Cotter Som...I wrote it down, Ash subconsciously recited it a few times, and then stared at Professor Som who stood up and spoke with a smile.

"Then Defense Against the Dark Arts professor for Years [-]-[-] - Mr. Ash Embers."

Hearing his name, Ash also stood up, and greeted the students with a smile, "I'm Ash Embers... your new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor." sat down.

Didn't say as much as Som.

"Look, I'll just say he's weird~" George finally found some evidence to justify himself.

Fred also nodded, "A strange professor who is silent."

"Hehe." Angelina and Li Qiaodan just smiled and didn't speak any more.

The other students also discussed for a while, and several senior female students looked at Ash with a slight blushing, and the melancholy eyes almost took their souls away.

Soon, under the leadership of the prefects, these students gradually left, and the professors also left in one or several groups after eating and drinking.

Only Ash and Dumbledore remained here.

"What's wrong with Embers?" Dumbledore smiled and looked at Ash, wondering what he was thinking.

"Think about tomorrow's class." Ash didn't dare to tell Dumbledore that he was just thinking about how to catch two ghosts for research.

Dumbledore smiled when he heard his answer, "I used to be a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts too."

Ash was a little strange, why did Dumbledore say this?Are you ready to share some of my experience?So he asked lightly, "Do you have any suggestions?"

Dumbledore looked at Ash's reluctant expression and shook his head helplessly, "Embers, someone must have said that you are not good at chatting, right?"

The teasing tone indicated that this was just the principal's joke. Ash froze for a moment, then shook his head. After all, there were not many people in Rodland who could talk when he woke up again.

Dumbledore didn't pay attention to Ash's answer, he just said with a smile: "When I was a professor at Hogwarts, I had one of the best students and the one who gave me the most headache."

Looking at Ash as if he didn't understand, Dumbledore continued: "His name is Tom Riddle... Many things happened after that... Anyway, his story told me one thing."

"what's up?"

"Be in awe of the power...be wary of the darkness...have hope for the light." Dumbledore said lightly, his blue eyes were unusually calm, he silently stared at Ash, not knowing What was he thinking... Perhaps the only person in the world who could guess what he was thinking was currently in a cage in the mountains of Austria.

Ash was taken aback when he heard his words. Dumbledore was reminding me...don't pursue power too much?Or are you warning me not to try again with those ghosts... portraits... and elves?

Ash didn't understand Dumbledore's words either, but he nodded and said: "People without goals will become living corpses, but those who use unscrupulous methods will be swallowed by darkness."

It's clear what he means... the pursuit of power is a goal, but he's not one to spare his feathers.

"I hope you can keep your promise, Mr. Embers." Dumbledore said slowly, "You won't deceive an old man, will you?"

Ash smiled, he didn't say anything to Dumbledore, he just nodded, then left, strolling down the moonlit hallway with Phil on his shoulders.

Dumbledore watched him leave. He wanted to do something to this possible Death Eater just for a moment, but for some reason, he always felt that this new professor was not such a simple identity... That's right , simple... the identity of a Death Eater seems a bit too thin for him... not qualified, the strength and a certain desire he can feel... not something a Death Eater can have.

Ash knew that Dumbledore was suspicious of him. He was very clear from the beginning, after all, his origin was a mystery... To be honest, he did not expect that Dumbledore could accept him. He did not expect that he could be accepted by Huo Gwartz accepted.

But Dumbledore seemed to suspect that he was under the mysterious man... But isn't Voldemort already dead?
Ash was a little confused, but it was a good thing to be able to get rid of his suspicion temporarily. At least he could explore the magic of this world with confidence...Of course, he would not take radical measures.

Sitting in the faculty dormitory, Ash took out a scroll about Ulasiru. The connection between invisibility and disillusionment always made him feel that there was an unknown connection between this world and Rodland.

Otherwise, why did you choose this place instead of other places.

Ash felt that the gods chose for a reason, and they also had their own considerations.

"I'm just a fire passer... how dare you guess the gods?" Thinking of this, he smiled mockingly. As for how much awe he has for the gods in his heart, only he and the author know!

……

"Have you talked to him?" Snape looked at Dumbledore coldly.

Dumbledore nodded, his expression was dignified or serious, "Embers is a man of pursuit...but he may not be a Death Eater."

"Maybe?" Snape sneered and said nothing, obviously he doubted Dumbledore's words.

Dumbledore didn't say much, he always had his own considerations, and if Ash really came for the Philosopher's Stone, then he could only be disappointed, because the Philosopher's Stone was still lying quietly in No. 713 of Gringotts vault.

……

"George..." Fred gently woke up his brother, and then opened the door of the dormitory, "Come on, it's time to go out and play..."

George put on his clothes and stretched his muscles, "Indeed, I kind of miss Hogwarts at night!"

"Are you sure you don't miss Filch and his cat?" Fred smiled, then took out a piece of parchment from his clothes.

The two stood quietly in the Gryffindor lounge. The raging bonfire had been extinguished. George held a wand and released a fluorescent spell, allowing the two to see the parchment in their hands.

"I solemnly swear that I have done nothing wrong!" George and Fred said in unison, and then a miraculous scene appeared, ink marks appeared on the parchment to outline a map.

Hogwarts map.

It's not just a map, there are countless dots on it, with their names on them, such as Dumbledore... The twins noticed that the headmaster was pacing back and forth in the headmaster's office at this time, and Snape, who had been In the underground Potions classroom, something might be being processed.

They also saw the new professor Ash, who was parked in the staff dormitory and seemed to be sleeping...

"It seems that this new professor doesn't like to stay up late as we imagined..." Looking back at Ash's slightly melancholy appearance, it is indeed easy to think that he likes to stay up late.

The new Thom was also the object of their attention. They were surprised to find that Professor Thom was walking around the Hogwarts castle at this time. For a while, George and Fred thought he was the new castle administrator.

But soon they found Filch moving slowly on the map... The dedicated and dedicated castle administrator is currently inspecting his "country" with his cat.

Seeing that Filch was far away, George and Fred smiled at each other, ran out amidst the scolding voice of the Fat Lady, the Gryffindor keeper, and swam in the empty Hogwarts at night.
