Chapter 16： 1 story

After being silent for a while, Schelling sighed, "Professor, you are right. I do have the ambition to pursue power. But you may not believe that if I were not from the Malfoy family, my biggest wish is That is, you can become an adventurer like Professor Lockhart, go to the world to explore the ruins, go on adventures, and if you can, write your own experience into a book..."

As Schelling said, he was immersed in his own fantasy, but after only a moment, Schelling's eyes became sharp again, "But, that is just an unrealistic fantasy. I was born in Malfoy's family, and I am Marl. A member of the Fu family, this is a fact that cannot be changed, so in order to protect myself and all the people I want to protect, I must become stronger."

Dumbledore probably never thought that Schelling would answer this way, even in his state of mind for a long time.

After a moment of silence, Dumbledore told Schelling a little story with a slight smile.

"A long time ago, there was a young little wizard who had a happy family and a good life. When he entered Hogwarts to learn magic, he discovered his talents and developed a series of Aspirations and ideals..." Dumbledore spoke softly in a soothing tone, as if missing something. Behind his half-moon glasses, the pale blue pupils glowed with a faint glow.

"A few years later, the little wizard graduated from Hogwarts with the best grades... But his family had many accidents during these few years, which made him have to interrupt his ideals. His sister was still young. When she was casting her magic, she was attacked by three Muggle boys who saw her showing her magical abilities. This attack made his sister's spirit very restless-her magic was out of control Their father cast a vicious curse to avenge the Muggle boys... To ensure that his poor daughter would not be imprisoned in the St. Mungo’s Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries, he took all the guilt alone and was sent to him. Azkaban. After that, their mother took them to move..."

Hearing this, Schelling immediately realized that the little wizard in this story was probably Dumbledore himself.

"Unfortunately, it doesn't end here." Dumbledore raised his head slightly, and the lens became bright as the angle of the light changed, covering his slightly preoccupied eyes.

"When the little wizard’s sister was fourteen years old, her magic power went off again... This accident brought her mother’s life to an abrupt end. At that time, the little wizard’s younger brother was the only one who could prevent her sister’s magic power going away. .At that time, the little wizard was in pain...extremely painful. But things have happened, irreversibly, and life will continue. He bears the resentment of his younger brother, and constantly comforts the self-blaming sister, and bears it. Started this already shattered family."

Dumbledore was silent for a while, as if lost in some kind of memory, and then continued, "At this moment, a little wizard with the same aspirations as him appeared. They soon established a deep friendship and made little The wizard picked up his ideals again. They had the determination to change the wizarding world, and they also had the ambition to become wizard leaders. At this moment, the little wizard’s brother pointed out that if there is a sister as a concern, the little wizard It is absolutely impossible to become a wizard leader. The little wizard’s best friend was very angry about this, and cast a heartbreaking spell on the little wizard’s younger brother. The little wizard chose to protect his brother. As a result, a mess broke out between the three of them. The melee. In the chaos, the little wizard’s sister hoped to help her brothers, but was killed by a spell cast by an unknown source!"

Dumbledore’s long white beard trembled slightly, as if he still hadn’t let go.

"Since then, the little wizard has given up all his ideals. He doesn't know what his ambitions and ambitions all the time are, what is the meaning-his sister is dead, and his brother hates him forever, and even his best friends become enemies."

At this point, Dumbledore suddenly looked at Schelling, his eyes sharp and serious. "If it were you, what would you do?" he asked.

Xie Lin pursed his lips, his face remained calm. After a long time, he finally said: "The answer to this question needs to be found by yourself."

Dumbledore has been observing the expression on Schelling’s face. After a while, he actually smiled, “Although you are very similar to my old friend, you are a little different from him. You know exactly what you want to pursue. What is it, and has the courage to face fate."

Sherring suddenly realized that he had successfully passed the test in this conversation. Dumbledore was easier to talk than he thought, and he showed a certain degree of tolerance for his ambitions and plans.

Just before Schelling left again, Dumbledore said suddenly, "Before you go, I also want to let you know that the last time Harry and the others sneaked into the Slytherin lounge, they attacked your brother. ——Yes, I must admit that they violated very serious school rules, but I did not expel Harry and them because Harry and the others have a reason to stay at Hogwarts..."

Schelling curled his lips, after all he was partial, but it wasn't because Harry was the most important part of your overall plan to deal with Voldemort.

At the same time, Schelling also realized how strong Dumbledore's control over Hogwarts was. If in the era of Armando Dupete, acts of malicious harm to classmates like Harry had been expelled long ago, Newt Scamander of the year was the best example, even if the principal and professors tried to protect them. use.

The board of directors has the power to check and balance the principal. As long as the operation is done properly, expelling a student is not difficult at all. And Scamander was not a persimmon without background. His elder brother Theseus Scamander, who was 9 years older at the time, had already become an Auror and had emerged in the Ministry of Magic, but Newt was still in Dumbledore. He was expelled from the school under the protection of the force.

By the time of Dumbledore, it was obvious that at least one of the twelve school directors was Dumbledore (the person who reported the threat of Lucius), and the rest of the directors were at least unwilling to offend even if they were not from Dumbledore’s faction. Dumbledore's fencer. It can be said that the school board basically survived after Lucius was expelled, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Dumbledore was covering the sky at Hogwarts.

Dumbledore looked at his expression and smiled slightly: "You think I have dealt with this matter unfairly, and I can understand that you are dissatisfied with me. I have discussed with Snape before, and I will give Slytherin College will compensate a little..."

Xie Lin walked out of the principal’s office. There was no one in the corridor of the school, but it was very lively. I don’t know who leaked the news. All the pictures were chatting about what happened in the secret room. After seeing Schelling, every picture curiously stopped him, hoping that he could talk about how he defeated the basilisk. .

Xie Lin ignored the portraits and walked straight to the school hospital. Although there were no injuries, it was safer to go for an examination just in case.

The next second, with a bang, the house elf Dobby suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Master, Dobby is free. Harry Potter freed Dobby. He asked the master to give Dobby a sock. He is even greater than Dobby knows!" the elf said with a sharp squeal, eyes It opened wide, with tears in it. Although Schelling was no longer Dobby’s master in name, the feelings he cultivated over the years made Dobby still willingly call Schelling his little master.

"Congratulations, Dobby!" Schelling said softly, seeing Dobby wearing Harry's sticky smelly sock on his right foot. "Dobby, you are free now, what are your plans for the future?" "

"Dobby thinks it all, little master! Dobby likes freedom, but also likes to work. Dobby needs a job and earns wages through work." The elf said, suddenly becoming a little lost." But this is difficult. People may not be willing to pay Dobby's wages. This is not in line with the quality of a house-elf." Dobby's voice is getting lower and lower, and there is no joy at the beginning.

"Don't worry, Dobby, isn't there still me! If you still treat me as a friend, come and help me. I need an assistant in Hogwarts. I can pay you money, how about? "

Dobby wept bitterly with excitement, he stretched out his arms to embrace Xie Lin's waist, and gave him a tight hug.

Schelling was very happy that Dobby was able to escape from Malfoy Manor. Let alone all kinds of harsh abuses by his family, sooner or later, after Voldemort returns, Dobby will most likely be tortured or even killed.

Moreover, Dobby can freely Apparate in Hogwarts, which is a valuable skill for Schelling. It can help Schelling to make various purchases outside the school, and it can also bring Schelling into some blocked by special means. The secret room, such as the Slytherin secret room, is now a vacant space. Except for Harry who knows snake language, only Dobby can enter through Apparition.

"Servant" Dobby gets!

When Schelling came out of the school hospital, it happened to be in time for the celebration dinner that night. The dinner was to celebrate the perfect end of the basilisk incident. The victims of several attacks were all cured and appeared at the dinner to hug friends. Together. Afterwards, Professor McGonagall stood up and told them that the school decided to cancel the exam in order to entertain everyone. Except for Hermione, all the students were very happy about it.

At the same time, Dumbledore announced: Unfortunately, Professor Lockhart has decided to resign. No one knows why he resigned, and no one will care about this issue. When everyone heard the news, cheers broke out, and Schelling couldn’t help. Doubt the coercive power of the world line.

The only difference from the original book is that Dumbledore did give Harry some points, but he did not forget to give Schelling extra points—without Quidditch, Schelling would only be involved in the Little Green Fairy Incident and the Seeing Through the Spy Incident. Earned 110 points for the Academy, so this year's Academy Cup undoubtedly fell into the hands of Slytherin.

The Slytherin table, the little wizards are in a carnival! The little wizards cheered loudly and jumped up and down around the dining table. Draco lost his usual restraint and slapped the table vigorously with a brisk rhythm; Pansy and her close friends sprayed out the sky with their wands. ; Gore and Crabbe roared so much that their voices were hoarse...

Hermione, who had just recovered and was discharged from the hospital, took a little shy Ginny and walked generously to the Slytherin table. In the eyes of Daphne and Meredith that could kill people, she congratulated Schelling and Thank you, thank him for saving Ginny, and congratulate him for winning the Academy Cup for Slytherin-Schelling's deeds of defeating the basilisk have long been fascinated by the portraits. Everyone knows that this storm was ended by Schelling. Yes, so this time Slytherin won the Academy Cup is well deserved, even the little lion who dislikes Slytherin the least can't refute this fact.

Hermione thought that with her own hint, Harry and Ron would be the key to solving the mystery of the Slytherin heirs. She didn't expect that their two elm heads had never thought of visiting her in the school hospital, which made her a little bit Not happy, but she also understands that visiting a petrified patient is a meaningless thing, so she won't be angry with her little partner for this matter.

Unexpectedly, the first thing she did after waking up was to hear that the secret room incident had been resolved, and it was resolved by Schelling, who is also a second-grade student. When I heard that Schelling faced the unknown danger alone, he chose to bravely commit the danger alone, and successfully defeated a five-star dangerous basilisk, and saved Ron’s sister, who had always been at odds with him. .

In her heart, Schelling has almost transformed into a brave, upright, and powerful hero, who is even more powerful and dazzling than Professor Lockhart. So she couldn't help but under the guise of congratulating and thanking Schelling. In fact, she wanted to take the opportunity to chat with Schelling privately about the secret room, but she did not expect that she would attract so much hostility at the Slytherin table. His eyes, full of words reached his mouth, but he could only swallow it back.

The dinner ended in such a joy.
