Chapter 274： Principals

Latest website: "The fundamental purpose of this attack was not to cleanse the blood, nor to target me. He wanted to transfer our realization and then invade the principal's office."

Lynn and Dumbledore walked into the entrance of the principal's room, and went up the spiral staircase.

Dumbledore didn't speak, he looked calm, not as worried that something would be lost in the principal's office.

On the eighth floor, the door to the principal's office was wide open. Looking at the mess inside, all kinds of things were thrown on the ground. The intruder made no secret of his intention to come here to find something.

Dumbledore and Lynn stopped at the door of the principal's office at the same time, and did not enter immediately.

A faint flame was slowly burning on the branch where Fox was.

It didn't take long for the flames to dissipate, and an ugly, featherless bird stood on the branch screaming angrily.

It had apparently been killed once, and it had just been resurrected when Lynn and Dumbledore came over.

Except for Fox, who had come back from the dead, he thought that the sorting hat that had been sitting on the chair was roughly thrown on the floor. There was an upside-down silver basin next to the bookshelf, and all kinds of parchment on the desk were scattered throughout the room. The room was everywhere, and the portraits of Hogwarts headmasters hanging on the walls all disappeared. One of them seemed to have been attacked. A big hole was burned out in the middle, exposing the scorched black wall behind. noodle.

"Is there anything less professor?"

They made sure that no one was hiding inside and then walked in. Dumbledore wielded his wand to restore all the messy things to their original positions, and at the same time repaired the broken frame.

Hearing what Lynn said, Dumbledore shook his head.

"No, nothing is missing." As he said, he walked to the silver basin placed in the cupboard. "There is nothing missing, but there is a possibility that people may pry into the mind."

Lynn looked at the silver basin, and in order to confirm some guesses in his heart, he asked, "Is this a pendulous basin?"

"Yes, a very useful alchemy prop. I often keep some important memories in it."

Dumbledore shook his head again as he spoke. "The murderer doesn't look like he came specifically for it. It's just that I left the principal's office for a while. There is not enough time for him to see something. If his goal is true. If it is this basin, then he should have stolen it directly."

Lin En looked around the principal's office and said in a puzzled way: "So what did he want to do to sneak into the principal's office after so much effort?"

Dumbledore also walked around the whole room, and then stopped in front of the ugly looking Fox who had just been resurrected.

Fox looked very angry, and he spoke a Phoenix word to Dumbledore, and Dumbledore nodded slightly.

"It was attacked, and it was petrified by the basilisk without seeing the face, and it has been resurrected now."

Although Lynn didn't understand bird language, he must have said more than these words after hearing Fox's "babble" for such a long period of time. It is estimated that Dumbledore had omitted all its curse.

At this moment, a sneaky old man suddenly appeared in the picture frame hanging on the wall. He carefully observed the situation in the principal's room and shouted when he saw Dumbledore.

"Albus! Why did you come back? Do you know that I was almost burned just now!"

It was an old wizard with a smart face and a goatee, and his words sounded rather rough.

Dumbledore calmly returned to his seat, and then said to him: "Phineas, call Daris and them all back, it is safe here."

"They sent me specifically to explore the way." Phineas muttered and left from the photo frame in the principal's room. Not long after, the principals who had temporarily sought refuge returned to the frame in the principal's room.

"Oh! My goodness! This is horrible, a dark wizard invaded the principal's office!"

"This is an unprecedented event in thousands of years. You must pay attention to Albus!"

"He is rummaging here and there, and so is the big snake. He just watched and guarded it beside it. None of us dared to stare into its eyes."

"The horrible straight-to-death magic cannot be avoided even if it has become a portrait."

"Phineas just yelled at the dark wizard, and he almost burned him!"

The principals talked to Dumbledore about everything that happened in the principal's room. Each of them seemed to have lingering fears, and seemed to be very disturbed by this happening.

Dumbledore stopped them from talking together and called the name of a kind-looking female principal.

"Daris, have you seen the face of the intruder?"

Dai Lisi shook her head with a frown, "I'm sorry, Albus, he didn't show his face, but he should be a wizard to his voice."

"Then have you found what he is looking for?"

"As soon as he came in with the big snake, he asked us to go out. Phineas yelled at him, and then he seemed to be tired of attacking the portrait. We had to escape from here and take refuge temporarily. I don’t know if he has any. Find what he was looking for."

How disappointed Dumbledore did not show, it seemed as if he had expected it.

"Phineas." He called the name of the rough old man who came in at the beginning.

"I'm here, I've always been." Phineas responded.

"Please go to the portraits everywhere in the castle and ask them if they saw where the big snake appeared. For the safety of Hogwarts, we must catch this basilisk."

"Okay, I'll go see it now."

Phineas disappeared from his portrait ~ www.novelhall.com ~ The principal's room fell silent again.

Lynn kept watching Dumbledore's expression, feeling as if he had discovered something.

"Professor, do you know the purpose of that intruder sneaking into the principal's office?"

Dumbledore tapped the tabletop lightly with his index finger, and meditated for a moment.

"I do have some speculations, but I'm sorry Lynn, this is about the secrets shared by the principals of the past generations, unless you take over my position, otherwise I can't tell you these things."

Lynn can understand what Dumbledore said. Such an ancient college must have its own secrets. If there is no Lynn, he will have to suspect that Dumbledore has concealed something from him.

"Has the intruder succeeded?"

Dumbledore's eyes became a little deeper, he said softly.

"As far as it seems, he hasn't succeeded, but I don't know what he is looking for."
