Hogwarts snake in the mist

"Eric, is he okay?" Eric vaguely heard someone talking, it seemed to be Harry's voice

"Don't worry, he just overused his magic power, which caused the magic power to backfire. He can just rest for a few days." An old voice said, could it be Principal Dumbledore?

Eric tried his best to open his eyes and saw three concerned little faces, and an old man with a gray beard next to him. Is it really Dumbledore?

"Eric, you finally woke up," Harry said worriedly. "I had just been put down by the troll and saw you falling to the ground. I was scared to death."

"This time it's all because of me. If I help, you won't have to overdraw your magic power." Hermione looked like she was about to cry. She blamed herself. She obviously had learned so many spells, but the key But no one can make time.

"I was knocked unconscious by a stone and lay in the ruins for a long time." Ron touched his head that had been treated. "Thanks to you, otherwise we would all be trampled by the giant monster."

The three little guys gathered around Eric and chattered about what happened after he fainted.

"At that time, we all thought you were dead and we were all crying around you. But when we looked up, we suddenly found Professor McGonagall and others coming."

"You don't know, Professor Snape who came with you knew that you also participated in this battle, and his face turned black."

"Children," Principal Dumbledore, who had been watching their conversation with a smile, spoke up, "Maybe we should give Eric some time to rest."

Harry and the other three looked at Eric reluctantly, had no choice but to say goodbye to him, left the candy, and left.However, Dumbledore did not leave.

"Okay, now we are the only two left. You are very powerful. No first-year freshman has ever been able to kill a giant monster." Dumbledore looked at him quietly, "Do you have anything on your mind?" Did you tell me?"

Eric was thinking about whether to tell Dumbledore about the shadow core. Of course, he didn't directly say that he had a shadow core, but said that the shadow core was his natural bloodline or something.

"Sir. I seem to have inspired some kind of strange talent." He decided to tell Dumbledore. After all, the shadow energy on the troll's corpse was so conspicuous that anyone who came over could tell that something was wrong.

"Oh tell me."

"It seems to be a kind of energy that can be used as magic power, but the quantity is limited. I can add this energy to the magic spell when I release it." Eric said half-truthfully.

This is probably the source of the unknown black mist on the troll corpse.But the strangeness of the troll's corpse went far beyond this. Dumbledore remained silent and motioned for him to continue.

"Then I don't know the rest." Eric looked panicked, "Sir, am I a monster?"

Dumbledore shook his head, comforting the child who felt "uneasy" because of his own inspired talent.

"No, this is a talent that is uniquely yours, hidden in your bloodline. But there has never been such an example in your Ryan family."

"This time you showed your brave side and remained calm in a difficult situation. Therefore, I will give Slytherin ten points."

"If I hadn't believed in the Sorting Hat's choice, I would have really suspected that the Sorting Hat sorted you into the wrong house. With enough courage and courage, bravery and self-sacrifice, you have all the characteristics of a Gryffindor."

Dumbledore watched Eric's behavior after hearing these words with a half-smile.

"Maybe you could really think about transferring to another hospital."

Ah, now even the principal has started to persuade him? Eric's expression was as usual, while he was thinking about the pros and cons in his heart.

It's great to go to Gryffindor, not only can you get close contact with the Iron Triangle, but it's also much easier to participate in the plot.

But this means that he will lose the privilege of borrowing books at will, and he is currently very intimidating in Slytherin.

At least no one who is short-sighted will bother me, and they won't ask too much about my secrets.If you go to Gryffindor, there will only be more nosy people, not less.

And the most embarrassing thing is that if Eric wants to go to the Forbidden Forest or somewhere secretly one day, he will bump into Audio-Technica when he gets up at night.

The scene of four people looking at each other at night had already appeared in his mind.

"Hey, what a coincidence, you have to sneak out too."

"Hey, what a coincidence. How about we go together."

"Okay."

Then what he wants to do secretly can't be done at all, right? There are three messengers of justice with him. If they see something they shouldn't see, the character Eric has created in front of them will collapse.

Seeing Eric thinking carefully, Dumbledore left with satisfaction.This shows that it is still possible to drag Eric to the Gryffindor branch.

With such a genius by Harry's side, he can ensure the safety of their four-person team when they go on adventures with Harry. If they can't defeat them, they can still escape with the Iron Triangle, right?

Dumbledore had investigated the child Eric, and he was surprised to find that Eric was particularly studious.I often study spells alone in the library, and then train in the training room.

Moreover, Eric's character is more suitable. He is brave and willing to sacrifice, but also decisive and calm. He is a reliable figure at critical moments.

"It seems that my character is well established." After Dumbledore left, Eric smiled and shook his head.He would not go to Gryffindor, he knew what Dumbledore wanted him to go to the Lion's House.

It's just like Ron and Hermione, becoming Harry's foil in his growth.Use your emphasis on friendship to tie Eric and Harry together, giving Harry a higher safety factor in his adventures.

If Dumbledore knew that Eric had a history of abandoning his companions without hesitation when in danger of death, he would not have told him about transferring him to another hospital.

Eric didn't want to be noticed by Dumbledore too soon. As long as it was related to Harry, especially the Iron Triangle, Dumbledore would pay close attention to their every move.

If Eric agrees, then many of his secrets will be exposed to Dumbledore, which would be terrible.

"Dumbledore is not as easy to fool as Harry and the others." Eric opened a chocolate frog and ate it. It was really difficult to pretend in front of Dumbledore. He always felt that Dumbledore's eyes could see through him.

It's okay this time, but as he continues to participate in the plot, Dumbledore will discover his true identity sooner or later.

Eric can only hope that when Dumbledore reveals his disguise, he will be strong enough to not need to disguise himself.

Ultimately, it's because he's too weak.If he is strong enough, does he still need to have a good relationship with Harry to find an excuse to participate in the plot? He can just ignore the plot and go directly to hunt those beasts and continue to strengthen himself.

I need more strength. Eric crushed the 15 gold galleons that had been wasted in his hand into ashes.
