The Magical Principles of Natural Philosophy at Hogwarts

"You're not going to take me to see Dumbledore, are you?" Riddle's voice sounded as Erwin left the auditorium.

"Why, are you so scared of Professor Dumbledore?" Erwin asked playfully.

Riddle snorted coldly, "I just remind you of the agreement we reached."

"Of course, I won't forget."

Even if Riddle tried to hide it, Erwin could still feel his fear. After all, the remnant soul in the diary only kept the memory before the age of 16, which meant that he still had the natural fear of students towards teachers?

Dumbledore also taught him back then.

Although it was said that as long as Riddle didn't take the initiative to show up, no one should be able to spot the abnormality of the diary at a glance, but just to be on the safe side, Erwin temporarily put it in the Flamel cabin.

Half an hour later, he walked into the principal's office.

Every time I entered here, I saw the same scene. The sloppy sorting hat was put aside, and the phoenix Fox in the corner stretched its wings, and a gleam of fire flashed among the feathers.

"Sit down, kid." Dumbledore said, who came out from behind the office door, "Have you encountered any academic difficulties? Although my accomplishments in alchemy are far from that of Master Flamel, I can guide you It’s okay for a while, at least for now, maybe in a few years.”

"You think too highly of me." Erwin smiled awkwardly, and then became serious, "Professor Dumbledore, I think someone is trying to harm you."

Dumbledore's expression also became serious, "Oh? What did you find?"

"I think that a conspiracy is covering Hogwarts, and its ultimate target is likely to be you..."

Erwin gave a general account of what happened recently. Since he promised not to mention Riddle's diary, he should simply hide Ginny, the Chamber of Secrets, the basilisk and a series of things, and only focus on Dobby and other things. The Malfoy family behind it.

"It can be speculated that their main method should be to try to create chaos in Hogwarts and force you to abdicate, repeating what happened 50 years ago. However, Dobby the house-elf, who is one of the planners, seems to have his own ideas. He seems to have a natural affection for Harry, which should be used as a breakthrough..."

With a pensive expression, Dumbledore motioned for Erwin to continue.

"You have been so busy with affairs during this period that you were unable to return to Hogwarts. I think it may be their deliberate arrangement. Only when you are not in Hogwarts can their plan be implemented."

"There is such a possibility. There has indeed been a sudden increase in recent affairs." Dumbledore agreed, "After today, there will be several important meetings of the International Federation of Wizards, and I must also attend the trial of the Wizengamot case."

In other words, it was still impossible for him to stay in Hogwarts for a long time after Christmas.

For Hogwarts without Dumbledore, the security rating would have to be downgraded by at least three levels.

"There are indeed some people who can't understand my behavior, including those school managers." Dumbledore tapped the table with his fingers, "I am very pleased that you can tell me these things."

"Of course I'm on your side." Erwin said,

Essentially, he is now under the protection of the principal.Without Hogwarts, it would be difficult for him alone to gain a foothold in the magical society.

Even if he has the inheritance of Nicole Flamel, it can't change the situation of being alone.

Erwin is certainly aware of this problem, so one of his current main implementation strategies is to make more friends.

Otherwise, he didn't need to treat that idiot Lockhart so favorably.

Dumbledore smiled, "What do you think their purpose is to bring me down?" he asked suddenly.

"I can only guess that they want to directly control Hogwarts?" Erwin expressed cautiously: "Of course, your own existence is an obstacle to them."

"Hogwarts will always need a headmaster. If I step down, who do you think they would like to take over?"

"Professor Snape?" Erwin gave his own judgment, which seemed obvious.

Judging from Snape's almost undisguised favoritism towards his classmates in class, he should have a connection with the Malfoy family, and the house elf named Dobby who sneaked into Hogwarts also has a very important mission. Possibly to communicate with Snape.

"Now let me tell you, I have absolute trust in Severus. If he becomes the headmaster, I don't think it's a bad thing for me or for Hogwarts." Dumbledore looked squarely at Elvin Erwin said, his voice was calm and firm.

"I see." Erwin nodded.

Of course he would not say that Professor Snape is not trustworthy. With Dumbledore's experience and wisdom, how could he be needed to accuse him of being ignorant.

Dumbledore thought Snape could be trusted, so he should be.

In other words, Lucius Malfoy's plan was not feasible from the very beginning, and the allies he thought were actually the confidantes of the enemy.

Erwin realized how worried he was.

He got up sensibly, ready to say goodbye.

At this time, Dumbledore suddenly stopped him, "There should be no fourth person who knows about the Wyrmrest Sanctuary in Romania. You can tell Miss Melanie the news."

Erwin was taken aback for a moment, but then he understood, his expression froze, and he nodded slightly.

He walked out of the principal's office.

Back in Romania, Erwin, Melanie and Dumbledore were not the only ones who had been to the Wyrmrest Sanctuary.

If Erwin remembers correctly, there should be another male vampire named LS Mbo.

At that time, he was directly overthrown by Melanie, but he didn't really die. According to Melanie, his body was destroyed, but he would reshape his body in a secret place and be resurrected.

But now Dumbledore said that there is no need to worry.

Maybe Dumbledore made some sort of deal with the Romanian vampires?He might even have found that guy's hiding place and silenced him. He was probably not at school some time ago to deal with this matter.

Wyrmrest Sanctuary has a lot to do with it. It is understandable for Dumbledore to take some extreme measures. Although he is a gentle elder, he is also the strongest wizard in Britain.

If he didn't have a decisive heart, he wouldn't be able to stand at the top of the wizard's combat power.

After Erwin returned to the Gryffindor Tower, he thought about it for a while, and told Melanie about it.

The female vampire's reaction was flat, which was somewhat beyond Erwin's expectations.

"Don't you...have empathy?" Erwin thought about his words.

"I provided the information about that guy. I told your principal where he might be hiding." Melanie's tone remained flat.

Erwin took a deep breath.

"It's very likely that that guy wasn't the only one who died..." Melanie said quietly again.

Of course, the cruelty of the magical world is no less than that of the real world, but because of being in this castle, the feeling is not very obvious.

Erwin reminded himself of this again.

A night without dreams.

Erwin wakes up the next morning and starts unpacking the pile of Christmas presents next to his bed.

Exchanging gifts at Christmas is a form of intimacy. Erwin's gifts were mostly ordinary things. Hagrid gave him a big bag of homemade treats. Melanie gave him a gift. It turned out to be a set of "Twilight Castle", Erwin felt that he might not be interested in reading it for the rest of his life.

Harry, Ron and Hermione jointly presented Erwin with a bottle of potion, which contained a viscous brown-black liquid.

"Compound decoction?" Riddle said, "Although the appearance is poor, it is considered qualified."

Erwin was also a little surprised that Hermione succeeded and cooked a high-level potion on the toilet in the women's toilet.

"It sounds miraculous, but this thing can also fool unsuspecting people." Riddle rambled. "The duration is short, and you need to drink it constantly. This is a huge flaw in itself. After the transformation, it looks decent at first glance, but magic power is not generated out of thin air, so it is easy to see through. What's more, any damage by advanced points If the sexual spell hits, the camouflage of this potion can no longer be maintained..."

Riddle likes to show his brilliance by expressing his opinions on everything he sees. Of course, this is not a pleasing habit, but Erwin does not comment, because he can indeed learn from Riddle's few words. Get more knowledge that he doesn't know.

Uncle Felwood sent the largest and heaviest package, but after Erwin opened it, he found that it was half a stone slab.

"It was discovered at an auction in Las Vegas. It is said to be an ancient relic from a certain Indian tribe. Dipper said there was a mystery, but he couldn't see it, so he just sent it to you."

There are some inscriptions on the slate, but most of them are blurred due to weathering, and only a few can be identified, which are not coherent.

Erwin repeatedly confirmed that these are just crude hieroglyphs, not runes, and it is completely impossible to obtain effective information.

"How do you feel?" he asked Riddle.

"Trash." Riddle's reply was very concise.

Whether it is rubbish or not is hard to determine for the time being, and Riddle is not a complete Voldemort. He is only 16 years old, no matter how talented he is, he cannot have very outstanding insights, let alone this is not a British thing.

Since this thing appeared at the auction, my uncle who is used to taking advantage of it must have been slaughtered for a lot of money, and it is inappropriate to throw it away as garbage.Erwin stored it in Le May's hut, anyway, the warehouse has a lot of space.
