Parents of Hogwarts

It's another school year.

In a small locked tower at Hogwarts, there are two things, the Pen of Acceptance and the Book of Admission, which together form the criteria for admitting students to Hogwarts.

The pen of acceptance is made from the feathers of the fortune teller and is usually inserted into a silver ink bottle.Even though the inkwell was empty and the bird's feathers repelled the ink, it could actually write.

When a child first displays a magical talent, the quill will fly out of the inkwell in an attempt to write the child's name in the Book of Access.

But the Book of Admission's standards are more stringent, and unless there is sufficient evidence of a person's magical abilities, a name written by the Pen will be refused.

The sensitivity of the Pen of Acceptance and the strictness of the Book of Admission ensured that they never made a single mistake.

Professor McGonagall will check this book every year and use owls to send letters to children who have reached the age of 11, inviting them to come to Hogwarts to study.

However, children of Muggle origin and with some special circumstances will need school staff to go to explain the situation in person to avoid misunderstandings.

On this day, a strange guest appeared in Spider End Alley.

Dumbledore was wearing an elegant dark blue velvet suit and was walking on the streets of Spider End Alley.Whether it is his wealthy appearance or extraordinary temperament, it is enough to attract the curious eyes of many passers-by.

He originally planned to wear his favorite purple velvet suit, but when he thought of the things that had happened in the past, after hesitating for a long time, he chose his second favorite, perhaps hoping that fate would not Repeat the same mistake again.

As the principal of Hogwarts, Dumbledore has no longer had to do this job for many years, but his familiar origins in the orphanage still made him decide to come and explain it in person, and planned to explain it to the children he would see next. Make detailed observations.

Voldemort, one is enough.

Although the signs are still not that obvious, the various terrorist attacks that are happening now have somewhat revealed Voldemort's methods and purposes.The all-night talk at the Phoenix Meeting last night inevitably made this nearly centenarian look a little tired, but behind the half-moon lenses, there was still a blue light that symbolized wisdom.

It didn't take long for Dumbledore to arrive at his destination.

Antony Court.

At the entrance of the courtyard, there was a little boy leaning against him. He noticed Dumbledore's figure from a distance and was looking at him with curious and wary eyes.When Dumbledore stepped forward more and more, his curiosity disappeared, leaving only vigilance.

"who are you"

Before Dumbledore could ask, the little boy asked him in a calm voice.

Dumbledore did not pay too much attention to the other party's attitude, but smiled gently at him and said: "Hello, child, are there any adults here?"

"No more." The boy replied: "Since Mr. Anthony passed away, there have been no adults here."

After a pause, the boy added: "Because we can't pay the wages."

"Who is here"

Just as Dumbledore was surprised by the little boy's answer, an obviously older child walked over from the hall. He also had a wary look after seeing Dumbledore's clothes, and although he was hidden, Dumbledore still noticed that the child seemed to be hiding something in his sleeves.

"You go to eat first, let me do it here."

Although it was clearly past the normal meal time, he still said these words. The little boy nodded silently and ran away quickly.

"who are you"

The older kids asked the same.

Dumbledore stared at the older child, and the child obviously didn't like the other's scrutinizing gaze, so he asked again in a calm voice: "Who are you?"

"My name is Albus Dumbledore." Dumbledore seemed to have figured out something. He said bluntly: "I came to see Callan Sangster to discuss with him about his future."

"You are looking for Karan." The child's vigilance became even more intense. He replied directly without thinking: "Karan is not here. If you have anything, just tell me. I will help you."

"I'm afraid that won't work." Dumbledore shook his head: "It would be better for Mr. Sangster and I to talk directly, because these matters are relatively private and not suitable for others to know."

"Then you go." After a pause, the boy repeated: "Karan is not here."

Dumbledore smiled slightly, this was the first time he had encountered this situation.

At this time, there was a sudden noise in the hall, and seven or eight children of different ages ran out one after another. The leader was the child who was going to eat before. They stood at the door, and the older children stepped back slightly. Retreat and become a group with them.

All the children were looking at Dumbledore warily.

For a moment, no one continued to speak, but Dumbledore frowned in confusion.

"What's going on here"

At this time, Callan came in from outside. He stood behind Dumbledore and peeked into the room. Then he looked at Dumbledore and asked him: "Are you?"

"He is here to find you," the leader of the children said, "he is looking for you by name."

At the same time, he also deliberately waved to Karan, asking him to stay away from this mysterious old man.

But Karan didn't move. He asked again: "Excuse me, are you?"

"Albus Dumbledore." Dumbledore said gently: "I am the Headmaster of Hogwarts, and I am here to invite you to study in our school, Mr. Sangster."

"Oh." Karan nodded, clapped his hands and said, "It's over, it's over, no problem, let's all be over."

The children paused for a moment, and then ran back one by one, leaving only the little boy at the beginning who remained where he was.

Karan took the lead and walked in, touched the little boy's head, and said to Dumbledore: "I heard Snape tell you, Mr. Principal, that I know all the necessary things, such as purchasing items. It’s clear, then, you should be here to give money, right?”

Karan couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that even he thought this sentence was too straightforward.

But Dumbledore did not throw the prepared gold galleons directly to him. Instead, he walked in and said in a gentle tone: "We can talk about this later, but this is indeed a very interesting place. , Mr. Sangster.”

"You're an orphan." Karan mocked himself: "The world is always full of malice towards orphans, especially in a place like Spider End Alley, if it weren't for Mr. Anthony." Karan's eyes were placed directly above the hall. Photo posted: "It is estimated that only a few of these people will survive."

Callan had already guessed that the visiting teacher was Dumbledore.The same residence, whether it happens to the descendants of Muggles or wizards, is not a very common thing. It is estimated that there are only two such examples in these years.

One is Tom Riddle, and the other is himself.

If it were Dumbledore himself, he wouldn't be stingy with such a small amount of time.

As for the precautions he should take, such as Occlumency, Karan could only say hehe.

Whether it was the source of knowledge or the process of learning, Karan could not see the slightest hope.

Magic is not that simple.

Otherwise, why else would he be practicing the levitating spell? It would be great to practice directly from the disappearing spell. Just make whoever is unhappy disappear. It doesn’t matter who you are, Tom or Saddam. , is the world” Let everyone ascend to heaven together.

From then on, the earth disappeared, the gravitational system was destroyed, and the solar system was destroyed. This was all the result of Karan.

But the key point is, it’s really hard.

Karan can't do it now if he wants to be a stickless Superboy, so how can other things be easier than this.

So, Karan showed his cards, it doesn’t matter, just focus on me Legilimency, let the deeds of the time traveler shock you old man, maybe you can have an idea, and suddenly come up with some magic that is more powerful than a Horcrux. , it is not impossible to kill little Tom directly.

As for himself, he just needs to take it one step at a time, otherwise what else can he do.

"Then let's talk in my room. After all, these things are not suitable for others to know."

Callan left the little boy where he was and led Dumbledore towards the stairs.It can be seen that although the place is a bit shabby, it has still been cleaned diligently, and there is no dust to be seen.

"A very clean place," Dumbledore said.

"Those who are capable can find jobs to make money, and those who are not capable can only do things like cleaning. We can't let them live and eat for free. They are all orphans, so there is no difference. They are all for life, and for Make it look like a home at least.”

"It's here, it's here."

With that said, Karan opened a door and led Dumbledore in. However, this room did not look like an orphanage. On the contrary, it was more gorgeous than some normal homes. The location of the window sill There were still some flowers growing. Karan skillfully picked up a showerhead and started watering it. At the same time, he said: "Do you want to drink something? The principal also has various alcoholic drinks left by Mr. Anthony here, whiskey, brandy, etc."

Dumbledore looked around, sat on the soft sofa, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's beyond my imagination, Mr. Sangster."

"It seems that the status of an orphan is quite useful." Karan laughed: "The shabby clothes alone are enough to make others have some inherent impressions of themselves, but who else It is conceivable that a group of orphans could retain such a fortune."

Karan poured a glass of whiskey for Dumbledore, even added some ice cubes, and then picked up a glass of juice and drank it: "It took me a lot of effort to keep these."

"Is there an inherent impression?" Dumbledore raised his glass, took a sip, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that it was the student who taught the teacher a lesson first. It's such a rare experience."

Karan smiled and said nothing more.

For a moment, there was a sudden silence between the two.

After waiting silently for a while, Karan glanced at Dumbledore curiously, and couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "What is going on? Half a bottle of whiskey is almost finished. There is no such thing as fighting in the autumn wind." "

Simply, Karan broke the silence and said: "So, Mr. Principal, does Hogwarts allow students to stay in school during the holidays?"

"Oh" Dumbledore naturally added another glass of wine and said at the same time: "You can stay in school normally during Christmas and Easter holidays, but long-term holidays are usually not allowed. This is rarely the case. Appear. And, isn’t it good here? Although as the principal of the school, it may be a bit unpleasant to say this, but I think it is still necessary to remind you that the environment here is much better than any student dormitory. "

"Then I think it is necessary to remind you, Mr. Principal." Karan said helplessly: "This is an orphanage. No matter how gorgeous it is, it cannot change the fact that it is an orphanage. And coincidentally, I happen to be An orphan. If possible, I would never want to come back here again."

"Sorry." Dumbledore said apologetically, without any pretense, but the wine glass he refilled still made Karan's eyelids jump, making him unable to even say any words of evasion.

Seeing that the wine bottle was about to bottom out, it seemed that Dumbledore was beginning to feel a little embarrassed. After thinking about it, he said: "Then you can consider buying a house to live in, away from Spider End Alley. This may be better. As for staying here, Regarding school matters, I’m sorry that in the short term, or perhaps for a long time, the school will not be able to allow students to stay in school during the long vacation.”

"I think you may have some misunderstanding, Mr. Principal." Karan unknowingly added the honorific: "Mr. Anthony may have left many legacies, but those are all left to Anthony House, even if they are not very necessary. , there is no possibility that this money will be used. Otherwise, Mr. Anthony would not be able to leave such a large inheritance to us orphans."

"We," Dumbledore said with a smile, "should be Mr. Sangster alone, right?"

Karan curled his lips: "Yeah, yeah, I'm the only one. This damn old man gave me such a big trouble. If he claimed it was just for the orphanage, I might not care too much. But. But he said that the money was all my own to use as I pleased."

"In this case, how can I have the nerve to actually use this money? Isn't this just a deliberate attempt to disgust me?"

"Damn old man."

Karan cursed under his breath again.

Dumbledore laughed instead: "It seems that the late Mr. Anthony was an old man full of wisdom, and he has found a suitable successor for himself. I seem to understand why you want to do this, Mr. Sangster." We need to get out of here urgently.”

After finishing speaking, Dumbledore drank the last glass of wine, handed out a money bag, placed it in front of the two of them, and said at the same time: "It seems that today's meeting is over. I hope to meet again at Hogwarts." You, Mr. Sangster.”

Karan took the money bag and shook it. After silently feeling the weight, he said wait a moment. Then he took a bag, packed all the wine in the room, and placed it in front of Dumbledore: "These Alcohol is not easy to handle, and there are many underage children in the orphanage. I don’t like letting them get into the habit of drinking, so I will give it to you, the principal. These Muggle things are quite good."

After a pause, Karan added: "It's free."

Dumbledore laughed, stretched out his hand, and the bag completely disappeared. At the same time, he asked jokingly: "It's really free."

Karan snorted: "Otherwise, the money you get will have to be used for Anthony's courtyard, and I can't use it. Anyway, I give it to anyone, just think of it as a last resort to disgust him."

"However." Karan suddenly turned around and said, "Since I have accepted the gift, it shouldn't be too much for you, principal, to help with some things. It's just a little effort."

"What's the matter?" Dumbledore asked curiously.

"Near here, there is a family called the Evans. Their youngest daughter Lily should have entered school in the same year as me, but their eldest daughter Petunia is a Muggle, and she is also a little jealous of Lily. Although I have done some things to make her These jealousies have been reduced, but it is inevitable that there will be no problems. But if you are the principal, you should be able to persuade Penny to avoid any bad influence on the two sisters due to this incident in the future." Lan said a lot of words quickly. It was obvious that this was something he had thought about for a long time.

"Well, this kind of thing does need to be paid attention to." Dumbledore nodded in agreement, but then he asked Callan: "But I can ask, why did you do this, Mr. Sangster?"

After thinking for a while, Karan replied: "Because they are the only children from Muggle families I know. I don't know if this reason is enough."

Dumbledore didn't think about it for too long before he nodded and said with a smile: "It's indeed enough."

"See you at Hogwarts, then, Mr. Sangster."

Then Dumbledore turned and walked away.

Karan stood silently in the room for a while, then sat back on the sofa.

He seemed to be relieved, but his brows couldn't help but frown: "Either Dumbledore didn't use Legilimency on me, or..."

"Could it be..."

On the other side, Dumbledore had already walked out of Spider End Alley and headed in the direction of Evans' house. Since the distance was not far away, this was the next family he planned to visit by the way, a commission from Callan. It’s really just a matter of effort.

But there was still a trace of doubt in his heart.

"He is actually a born master of Occlumency"
