Dressed as a Hogwarts portrait

Shut all the hustle and bustle outside, when the anti-petrochemical potion made by the mandrake was poured into Peter Pedilu's throat in front of Fudge, everything 13 years ago was like a joke, Fudge's anger came from a certain On the one hand, it also made Dumbledore deeply tired.

Was it because of Sirius Black's maniacal laugh and refusal to defend? Maybe.But fundamentally speaking, he cannot completely trust the Black family.The eternally pure aristocratic family often has a kind of crazy thing flowing in their blood.There are not many ancient nobles in Britain. Even the surnames of the twelve school managers of Hogwarts have been changed several times. Accidents, the extinction of descendants, and only girls left have gradually disappeared the noble surnames thousands of years ago.Except for Malfoy and Black, almost no wizard dared to say that his family had never married a half-blood or even a mutant wizard.

Dumbledore stared at a blank picture frame on the table. Outside the door, Snape's sarcasm, McGonagall's anger, Peter Pedillo's wailing and begging, and the chaotic curses of the Ministry of Magic were all far away.Christmas is coming, Lupine should take Harry to find Sirius who escaped from the castle a few days ago, and maybe spend this holiday at 12 Grimmauld Place, and he is old.

Voldemort hasn't heard from him since he failed to steal the Sorcerer's Stone more than two years ago and escaped again. One day, he will come back.

The old fingers picked up the parchment on the table.

The word inside the circle, only wrote a name.

"Tom Marvolo Riddle."

Underneath the parchment was dark green ink, in a slightly slanted ornate font, extending like intertwined branches: "Danisus Nyx."

It's a miracle. Almost every headmaster has read Gryffindor's last diary, and they all face it as a heavy history. brooding.

The old man believed in what he saw with his own eyes and what he judged rationally, but he couldn't help expressing caution and worry about the results of the terrible black magic. You can see what the evil magic of Horcruxes will bring, just look at Tom. Riddle is the only remaining descendant of Slytherin, and it is especially unfortunate that he is half-blood.It is really hard to guess what the Duke of Slytherin, who has an extremely weird personality, will do.So even though Dumbledore was willing to pay respect and trust, he couldn't help but write down Voldemort's real name as a test—

It's entirely possible that Slytherin knew the name of his descendant from the basilisk, but his reply left Dumbledore in deep thought.

A hint of a bloodline talent that has never been used once?No……

The old man began to smile, tired but relieved.

Daunisus, the god of two personalities.

He kind of understood why the Duke of Slytherin wanted to split the Horcrux, and he also understood some inexplicable confusion in Gryffindor's last diary. What he was worried about would not happen. These are returned to those he deems worthy of respect, and he is cautious and arrogant, and it is difficult to trust anyone-then, Dumbledore is not sure that knowing that there will be a second Salazar Slytherin resurrection will hinder it.

This is the best way now, self-deception is sometimes very useful, obviously Slytherin clearly understands people's hearts and how to do it is more beneficial, because compared with two Salazar Slytherin who will not fight, there is a certain tacit agreement or even common opinion Slytherins are scarier.

Wizards never believe that one plus one equals two.

Opening the colorful candies in the drawer, the old man suddenly missed the little girl who rushed out to grab the candies.

Iris is a good boy.

Although it was more than 1000 years old... Dumbledore couldn't help laughing, and took out the second parchment.

It was a letter delivered yesterday, still in that ornate slanted, slightly tangled, thorny script, addressed to Hogwarts Castle rather than to the Headmaster of Hogwarts.

Maybe he can look forward to the next academic year, when the Hogwarts Automatic Quill complies with the founder's wish to send out an acceptance letter, he can also write a professor appointment letter by the way.All was well so far and Lupine himself did not believe that he would be secure in that position until next school year.

Dumbledore peeled off a pineapple candy and put it in his mouth.

Aerys is probably in hibernation. It seems that in order to follow the tacit understanding with the Duke of Slytherin, it is not allowed to send candy to the little girl this Christmas.That's okay, when she comes back next year, she will be very happy to find a pile of candies in the secret room to welcome her.

"Christmas, Salazar."

"Very important?"

"No, it's not as important as Halloween."

Slytherin laughed, not knowing who was laughing.

"Salazar, can you put that book down, it's very heavy, you carry it around all day, my hands are sore."

"Don't you find it interesting?"

"I just think it's a good thing wizards' magic doesn't accumulate like Muggle technology. Otherwise, after 1000 years, when we wake up, we'll probably only be able to wash dishes in the Leaky Cauldron."

"...that's not funny!" Salazar closed the Encyclopedia Britannica heavily in his hand.

"lighter."

"..."

"It's worth more than 1000 pounds, enough for how many pizzas, steaks, and fruit ice cream we can eat in the Muggle world... Well, be happy, Salazar, in our opinion, no one is weaker than anyone else, even dragons can be sucked blood Fly tortured to death, everyone is a threat to everyone, but we usually can't see it."

"Is that why you've grown to like Muggles?"

"Salazar, we have always liked a comfortable life." Merlin knew how much he missed movies, food, games... Well, if it wasn't for fear of losing his identity, he even missed junk fast food, everything in medieval Europe The bread is dark and hard, no monosodium glutamate, no soy sauce, no vinegar, no chili, Merlin knows that he will cook for himself because he can't bear it...

"I'll go there later. When we learn it, we don't need to enter that house." Salazar looked at the restaurant with the sign of high-end gourmet cuisine in the distance without a stand. It was really a nightmare. Muggle girls would be enthusiastic. To the point where they dare not go out without casting a spell to conceal their appearance.Merlin, are you sure this is conservative Britain and not France?In a complicated mood, hold the right hand with the left hand.

"Salazar?"

"fine……"

"Want to bring Aerys a present for Christmas?"

"She's hibernating, staying in our bed all day long."

"Then what are you still picking?"

"Have you forgotten that Malfoy who was worried all day and tried to send elves to find out the news? Lingcha, we finally live in a comfortable place, commanding other house elves, and don't even have to worry about potion ingredients. "

"I thought he'd prefer to receive a hair-dressing potion instead of Muggle shampoo."

"Hmph, if you have time to make potions, it's better to experiment with how the cake is made."

Malfoy is just a commodity, where would Slytherin make potions for him?Will not be free!

Go shopping.

As for the people Malfoy sent out to follow up, no matter how clever they were, they could only see that the use of the concealing spell seemed weird. In fact, besides walking here and there, they walked around happily with a very thick Muggle encyclopedia.

Can you be unhappy?These two have actually known each other for 60 years but have never had time to chat and say insignificant things.

"I'd love to know where your trust comes from, Dumbledore?"

Snape was never stingy with his suspicions. Even as the head of Slytherin, he couldn't understand that this old man who always liked to control everything in his hands allowed the resurrection of the founder of Slytherin, if it was a conspiracy. In this way, if it is said that it is the founder of the castle, it is not enough to change the old man's usual vigilance and prudence.

"Severus, you've never seriously thought about why Aerys likes you, and me."

"Huh?!" Snake King pulled out a sarcastic smile, before spraying the venom.

"Because in the eyes of the basilisk, her master is the most important thing, and in her opinion, you and me are almost equal to Slytherin's habit...Give her the best potion, give her the best food I don’t mind her taking her around the castle. Magical creatures are very simple, even powerful ones.”

There was a warm smile in the old man's blue eyes:

"It's not that I believe in the Duke of Slytherin, it's Aerys that believes in him, it's Hogwarts, the castle believes in him."

The next school year is really worth looking forward to.
