Save the world from Hogwarts

Chapter 45 In the Principal’s Office

The afternoon sun was so strong that it made people unable to open their eyes.

Lin Zhen stood in the corridor of the castle, unfolded the small note from Dumbledore again, and looked through it carefully to make sure that there was no information about the location of the principal's office written on it.

Perhaps it was Dumbledore's negligence

Or maybe someone will actually tell me where the principal's office is.

Lin Zhen leaned against a portrait of a knight in armor and stared blankly.

"Look, isn't this Harry?" Fred and George walked over shoulder to shoulder.

"Good afternoon, Fred and George." Lin Zhen greeted them friendly.

"Are you here to ask about the location of the Room of Requirement?" said one of the twins.

"Our little Ronald has become cunning," said the other twin.

The two of them looked at each other and suddenly laughed "hehe".

Lin Zhen was a little confused about what they were talking about, but he thought that maybe he could learn something by making mistakes.

"Ahem." Lin Zhen coughed slightly to attract the attention of the twin brothers, "Can you tell me if it's convenient?"

"Since you asked sincerely." Fred or George said with a serious expression.

The other one also had a serious face and continued: "We will tell you with great mercy."

Fred and George spoke one sentence at a time, as if they were talking to each other.

"If you go to the eighth floor of the castle."

"Across from a tapestry of a troll clubbing silly Barnabas."

“As long as you focus on the venue you need.”

"And walked back and forth behind that wall three times."

"A door will appear in the wall."

Fred and George said in unison with unusual tacit understanding: "Open this door and you will enter the Room of Requirement."

Lin Zhen's eyes lit up: "Thank you so much. If you can, could you tell me where the principal's office is?"

"Hahaha" the twins laughed happily, "Have you been invited to tea by the principal?"

They blinked at Lin Zhen: "The principal's office is also on the eighth floor of the castle. As long as you find the two stone statues of gargoyles at the door, that's the principal's office you are looking for."

Lin Zhen gave them a grateful smile and walked towards the eighth floor.

Lin Zhen found the two stone statues easily.

The stone statue to the right of "Password" lazily opened one eye.

Lin Zhen glanced at the small note.

"Bibi's all-flavored beans," he said uncertainly.

The two sides of the stone statue parted, revealing a long spiral staircase behind it.

Lin Zhen thanked her and walked up the stairs.

At the end of the stairs appeared a gleaming wooden door with a flavonoid knocker with the head of a griffon.

Lin Zhen was about to raise her hand to knock on the door, when the wooden door opened quietly.

A circular room appeared in front of Lin Zhen.

There was a table with long spindly legs on which were placed many strange silverwares.The silverware spun around and blew out small puffs of smoke.The room was filled with all kinds of funny little noises.

The walls of the room are covered with portraits of old male and female principals, and the portraits are whispering to each other.

There is also a huge table in the room with legs that look like lion's paws.On a shelf behind the table, there was the dirty Sorting Hat, and there was a gorgeous sword in a glass box next to it. Based on its appearance, Lin Zhen guessed that it was the Sword of Gryffindor.

On the black cabinet opposite the glass box, there is a shallow stone basin with some symbols carved on the edge.

Lin Zhen also saw a large fiery red bird and a phoenix on a tall gilded perch at the door.

Dumbledore is not in the office.Lin Zhen walked towards Fenghuang and smiled at Fenghuang in a friendly manner.Phoenix looked at him warily at first, then tentatively moved a small step in Lin Zhen's direction, maybe only about two millimeters away.

Lin Zhen stretched out her hand towards it, and the phoenix moved again.

So cute.

Lin Zhen waved to it. Phoenix hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head and rubbed Lin Zhen's hand.

"Fox likes you very much, Harry." Dumbledore's voice sounded behind Lin Zhen.

Perhaps because she had just returned to the office through some means, Lin Zhen did not feel the fluctuation of Dumbledore's magic power as she did in the classroom where the Mirror of Erised was.

"Good afternoon, Professor Dumbledore." Lin Zhen touched Fox again, then turned to face Dumbledore.

Dumbledore walked behind the huge table and sat down, reaching out for two glasses of hot milk.

"Would you like a glass of milk?" Dumbledore pushed one of the glasses in front of Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen sat down at the table, and then watched helplessly as Dumbledore added spoonful after spoonful of honey to his own cup.

"Well, Principal Dumbledore," Lin Zhen said, "Maybe it's a little offensive, but I have to say, you added too much honey."

Dumbledore continued to pour honey into the cup and said relaxedly: "Oh, I understand. But you can't stop an old man's remaining hobby."

No wonder Severus always called Dumbledore Old Bee.

Lin Zhen resisted the urge to persuade him again.

"Have a little dessert." Dumbledore stirred his milk. The milk looked very thick.

"No, thank you." Lin Zhen shook her head, rejecting the possible dessert disaster.

"Would you like to share your summer vacation with your professor?" Dumbledore took a sip of milk and let out a contented sigh.

"Summer vacation" Lin Zhen tilted her head, "I had a good time. I have to say that when I got to know the world of Muggles in depth, it felt very wonderful."

"Oh" Dumbledore looked at him kindly, "Can you tell me what you learned?"

Lin Zhen smiled: "Muggles are very smart. They solve various problems in their own way and make their lives better."

"But they are fragile." Dumbledore drank the milk in his glass in one gulp.

Lin Zhen lowered her head and thought for a moment, then raised her head and looked at Dumbledore seriously: "When it comes to vulnerability, I think wizards are as fragile as Muggles."

He paused and rationalized his words: "I don't think there is any difference between wizards and Muggles. Because our development directions are different. Wizards have magic power, but Muggles are not weak either. Their creativity is enough to protect themselves. , and even in some aspects, Muggles are as powerful as wizards."

Dumbledore clasped his hands and looked at Lin Zhen calmly, gesturing for him to continue.

"They studied all the things they didn't understand and tried to use their knowledge to understand them." Lin Zhen's voice was very calm. "They saw the objects moving, so they studied the motion of the objects. This is Newtonian mechanics. ; They wondered about the relationship between various substances in life, so they explored in depth, and chemistry was born; some people became curious about the differences between humans, animals and plants, and soon after that, biological science came into being."
