I, Hogwarts Second Week

The name of the goddess Diana is familiar to Dumbledore.

In fact, whether it was due to his profound knowledge, understanding of Muggle mythology, or the fragments of legends in the wizarding world that were mixed with this name, he had heard about it.

During the time when he was crazy with the friend who once started the war across Europe, the magical world also showed reality and madness to them.

Many ancient legends from hidden places, secrets passed down by a certain family or a certain ethnic group, are open to them.

Especially his friend, the Dark Lord who once swept across Europe, naturally attracted the pursuit of countless people. In order to make the Devil of Faith stronger, his followers told him many secrets.

Among them is the name of the goddess Diana.

Dumbledore looked at Diana from under the half-moon glasses. When he saw that only blood stains remained on the wound on the woman's neck, he already guessed something.

"It's hard to believe that that erratic legend could be true." Dumbledore murmured.

Diana was startled when she heard the sound. She curled up and hugged herself with her hands. The coffee cup in her hand was discarded on the ground. Her sky-blue eyes were filled with unprecedented fear.

"Don't worry." Dumbledore said gently, "We won't hurt you. To be honest, there are many wonderful potions in the wizarding world. One of my professors is an expert in this field. I think, from his Getting help out there is the way to go.”

"——You, you know?" Diana said.

"Old people have nothing but more knowledge." Dumbledore said lightly, "Of course, I may be a little smarter than others."

"Ahem -" Xia Ti coughed slightly at this time. He looked at Dumbledore with the same eyes as a student, "In my eyes, you are still a strong young man."

"Haha - that's true." Dumbledore smiled.

"So, you know the origin of this girl." Xia Ti continued to ask.

The magic and legends of the Ming Dynasty are more numerous than the stars in the sky.

So Xia Ti doesn't know much about other secrets in the world. He spent his whole life still not understanding his own country.

"I've heard some rumors." Dumbledore shook his head. "I don't think most of them can be taken seriously, but there are indeed some that can be matched."

"But before we can talk about these things, we need to deal with some hurried visitors."

————

Higman Selwyn, clad in black robes and thirteen of his companions, pursued them.

They walked out of the city gate.

At a glance, he saw the woman under the shade of a tree not far away.

But when his eyes shifted to the people beside the woman, his expression instantly turned into one of horror, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

D-Dumbledore?

Merlin.

He just wanted to escape now, but the look in the other person's eyes - the fire reflected in the blue eyes behind the half-moon glasses - made him dare not move - obviously, Dumbledore would not let him go easily. .

"Okay." Higman Selwyn sighed heavily, a trace of madness flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, his mood was extremely complicated. Anxiety, fear, and unwillingness were all intertwined together, almost tearing him apart.

He could only pray that Dumbledore didn't know much, or that the woman hadn't told him everything yet. In this way, you still have a chance to save the situation and keep your status and power.

Higman silently considered countermeasures in his mind, thinking about how to deal with the upcoming crisis.

"Professor Dumbledore." A smile appeared on Higman Selwyn's face, and he walked over unhurriedly.

The Selwyn family is a famous pure-blood family.

He is also one of the so-called twenty-eight holy clans.

However, their family has always been very low-key, and their main activities are in the countries of Oceania. Except for the United Kingdom, they have almost no branches in any European countries. Their low-keyness makes other pure-blood families confused.

Even if it were not for the purpose of providing better education for the descendants of the family, they would not even have a branch in the UK.

"Mr. Selwyn?" Dumbledore recognized the young man.

There are not many Slytherin students who have not been bewitched by Voldemort.

This is a rather low-key kid who disappeared after graduating from school five years ago.

He didn't know what the young man was doing in the following days. After all, there were so many students in Hogwarts, and it was impossible for him to keep an eye on everyone.

"What happened to this Ms. Diana? Can you tell me?" Dumbledore said flatly, but the unquestionable tone in his tone made it impossible to refuse.

"She—" Mr. Selwyn's brainstormed.

He quickly searched for a suitable excuse in his mind.

Soon a very suitable reason popped into his head.

"She is the wife of one of my cousins, but she is a Muggle. You know, pure-blood families do not allow Muggles to taint their bloodline. I hid her in an armor to protect her." Selwyn tried not to look into Dumbledore's eyes, and carefully weaved his excuse.

He knew his principal and knew what to say to suit his ideas.

"Purebloods have deep-rooted thoughts. Professor, you should know something. What will happen if I let her go to others?"

"Really?" said Dumbledore.

"Of course - you see, I still have a photo of her with my cousin and niece." As he said that, Selwyn took out a photo frame from his pocket.

This was something that he had prepared long ago and belonged to that woman.

This is to prevent him from tracking her based on this photo if she breaks free of the armor.

There were traces of her blood on the photo. Using the ancient blood tracing spell, the Selwyn family could easily find her.

Dumbledore took the frame.

There was a family of three inside, at least it looked like they were.

Diana still had long hair at that time, was thinner than she is now, and some blood stains could be seen vaguely on her body.

Holding a newborn child in her arms.

Next to her stood a wizard. Dumbledore was not sure that the wizard was a member of the Selwyn family because he had a Far Eastern face.

Considering that there are so many pure-blood families in the Far East, and almost everyone in the Ming Dynasty can trace their bloodline back for thousands of years, it is also a reasonable choice for the Selwyn family to combine with a Far Eastern family.

However, Dumbledore definitely didn't believe Selwyn's words.

"Professor, I originally planned to wait for the limelight to pass, send her back to the Muggle world, and cut off all contact with her from now on, so that she can still live."

"Oh - then, my guess about you is obviously biased." Dumbledore said expressionlessly.

"Of course, Professor, I have been deeply taught by you." Selwyn smiled, carefully observing Dumbledore's expression, and continued, "Now that she has met you, it is up to you to decide where she will go. I have no objection. .”

"Um."

The professor's blue eyes shifted from the photo to Diana.

His brow wrinkled slightly.

He had never seen so many complex emotions in one person's eyes.

What kind of eyes are those?

Full of despair, fear, helplessness and resentment, complex emotions are intertwined, like an unfinished oil painting, colorful but chaotic.

Full of brokenness and pity.

"Lady Diana," Dumbledore called softly, his voice full of depth and concern, "Do you want to take your child away?"

The old wizard knew all too well the filthiness in human nature.

Diana became silent and turned pale after seeing the photo frame. In the photo, she and her husband stood together like puppets. It was obvious that if there was anything worthy of her concern, then it was just All that was left was her child.

"Professor, that is Selwyn's bloodline. You can't-" Higman Selwyn said urgently, his heart suddenly beating so fast.

"Shut up -" Xia Ti scolded, "You have no right to speak here, you'd better shut your mouth obediently, otherwise - I will help you seal it up bit by bit with needle and thread."

Higman Selwyn lost his voice for a moment.

He didn't know Xia Ti, but the aura the old wizard showed in an instant shocked him.

This is a legendary wizard who is no weaker than Dumbledore.

This idea came to his mind unconsciously.

Immediately, Higman Selwyn chose to shut up.

Dumbledore and Shati turned their attention to Diana again.

But this person who just now was desperate for freedom - now she held her head in pain, trembling all over, and big tears dripped from her sky-blue eyes, wetting her cheeks and clothes.

Countless thoughts appeared in her mind, they were like spider webs. The more she thought about it, the tighter the spider webs became, slowly swallowing her up.

Diana was on the verge of collapse.

"Professor Dumbledore——"

"professor--"

Suddenly, four boys and girls ran over in front of the gate of this wizard town.

The conversation of several people was interrupted.

"Professor, we are looking for you everywhere." The first person who ran over was a girl with dark red hair. She has very light skin, dark green eyes, and three-dimensional and harmonious facial features. She is a beautiful woman who can't be forgotten at a glance.

"I want to try this recipe. Me"

"Lily-why do you need to use the snot essence formula? Just use your own."

"Don't say that, Sirius. Snape's formula is better than mine." Lily said calmly, "The International Potions Masters Competition is only held every four years, and contestants must use original formulas, you know , I may have some talent in potions, but I am not good at making the potions of my predecessors. I am not good at actually inventing potions.

James should also be involved, and the three of us work together to ensure that one wins the championship. This is the most correct decision. "

"Haha - it's a joke, we can win without him!" Sirius in his school days was tall and thin, handsome and elegant, with elegant and beautiful black hair, gray eyes, and a careless arrogance in his every move. , handsome and charming.

There are many witches in school who are obsessed with him, and Lily knows several of them herself.

But all his energy was spent in the small circle with James, Lupin and Peter Pettigrew, and he was unaware of the pursuit of girls.

"We have three Gryffindors here, and he will definitely not be able to win the championship alone. In order to prevent us from winning, he will definitely do something bad. Lily - you should stay away from this kind of person." Sirius folded his hands, arrogantly Staring at Snape who was coming over, "Maybe he has joined the Death Eaters now. Look at the people around him. Almost all of them are Death Eaters. Do you still think he can survive alone?"

"Shut up, Black!" Snape walked over gloomily.

The anger in his heart has not been extinguished since he knew that James was also involved in this game.

Last semester, he was humiliated by James and Sirius, and Lily stepped forward to stop him.

At that time, I only felt ashamed and didn't think much about it. The words 'mudblood' came out of my mouth.

At this point, his friendship with Lily was completely over.

She didn't look for him again for several months.

When Dumbledore told him during the summer vacation that he hoped that he and Lily could participate in the 146th International Wizarding Potions Masters held in New Zealand in July this year, he agreed without even thinking about it.

But he didn't expect that Dumbledore would actually invite that annoying James Pott.

Alright alright!

He admitted that the Poite family had some talent in potions. He heard that their family invented many potions that are still used by wizards today.

Damn Pott followed, and so did his loyal dog.

This immediately disrupted all his plans.

"I'm not you." Snape said gloomily, "I wouldn't be so mean."

"That Lupin, sooner or later I will find out why he disappears for a day or two every month. Don't let me catch you Black." He stared at Sirius coldly, "Because I will definitely let you four escape from Hog Watts get out."

"Then come and try - Snotlout." Sirius was obviously angry. He looked at Snape with a sneer, "See if I can beat your tell-tale mouth to bits."

"alright--"

Professor Dumbledore in front of the four of them finally couldn't stand it anymore.

He shook his head.

These kids are just noisy at Hogwarts, but this is New Zealand.

Most of the magic schools in the world are gathered here.

They can be embarrassed, but not Hogwarts.

"Sir." The old principal looked at Xia Ti, "Ms. Diana needs a safe place to rest. Let's talk about the rest later."

"Yes." Xia Ti nodded. The girl almost collapsed. There must be a huge secret hidden in her body. When they met the girl for the first time, it was obviously impossible to completely let her down her guard.

However, the International Potions Masters Tournament will last for more than half a month.

After half a month, I believe things will eventually come to an end.

"Albus—" Shati said, "and your children, follow us."

Chang'an Taixue has lost his qualification for the competition and he has something to prove.

Partnering with Hogwarts is a great option.

besides

If Dumbledore and his party accompany them, then he will have to take on the responsibility of receiving foreign guests. As for other tasks, I believe Professor Zhang Qingqiu will be happy to help him share them.

Thinking about it——Xia Ti's old face showed a smile.
