After getting all the keys, it was almost evening.

Ye Ting prepared to go back for dinner.

Before leaving, he looked through the empty door and glanced at the chess hall.

There was only an empty chessboard.

Ye Ting suddenly thought, is it a bit too much for him to take away all the props here as prizes?

After all, Dumbledore arranged the levels, in the final analysis, to stop Voldemort and test Harry Potter.

If he took the props away, he would have to trouble Professor McGonagall and others to rearrange them.

Thinking of this, he slapped his thigh and said,”It’s decided! When I have developed a magic-based mechanical puppet, I will make a batch and put them here as chess pieces, just to test their power.”

“However, Professor McGonagall’s Transfiguration skill is pretty good, but her chess skills are terrible. Anyone can beat the White King, but this is not acceptable!”

He planned to focus on strengthening the White King’s chess AI at that time.

Ye Ting remembered that in five or six years, a super chess computer named Deep Blue would be born, defeating the world’s number one chess player at the time, Gary Kasparov, and opening the era of AI chess.

Come to think of it, IBM has started researching this now, maybe I can go to the United States to learn from it when I have time? Well

, I did this entirely to make up for the mistakes I made before, not to take the opportunity to trick the latecomers.

In addition, I can also find a way to get back the Devil’s Snare that was taken away before.

Anyway, with that strange flower bud, as long as there is enough nutrition, he can have as many Devil’s Snares as he wants.

While thinking, Ye Ting climbed up from the trap door and left the abandoned corridor.

Suddenly, Ye Ting felt a breath approaching, and then a pair of hands gently patted his shoulders.

He turned around suddenly, only to see Dumbledore appeared behind him at some point, looking at him with a smile.

“”Kid, why are you here?”

Ye Ting’s heart skipped a beat, and he secretly said that it was not good. He froze in place, and his mind was quickly thinking about how to deal with it.

He wanted to make up a random excuse, such as he just walked here accidentally.

But this excuse was obviously too far-fetched. After all, he was caught for breaking into the restricted area yesterday. Who would continue to walk here the next day?

Just as the boy was thinking hard, Linnet’s tail suddenly floated across his neck, which immediately gave him inspiration.

“Professor Dumbledore, I…actually I came here with Linnet. She wanted to come and see the new friend she made last night.”

As he said that, he patted the kitten lying on his shoulder.

Linnet, it’s up to you.

Linnet understood and meowed obediently, then jumped off Ye Ting’s shoulder and walked straight to the three-headed dog Fluffy.

Fluffy was startled for a moment, thinking that he had done something to offend this evil star again. He thought that he had made some mistake again, so he immediately became submissive and respectful.

This doesn’t look like a friend at all.

Ye Ting felt even more embarrassed.

He was about to remind Linnet to correct Fluffy’s attitude.

Unexpectedly, Dumbledore said approvingly:”It seems that your pet is as popular on this campus as you are.”

Ye Ting nodded repeatedly when he heard this:”Yes, yes, yes, my Linnet is not good at all, but she loves to make friends. For example, Fluffy, Mrs. Norris from Filch, and my roommate’s pet are all Linnet’s friends.”

“I was worried that a child like you who has lived alone for a long time would not be able to adapt to the lively campus life.”The old man smiled kindly,”Seeing you like this, I feel relieved.”

Then, he said,”If you have time, why not accompany me, an old man, for a walk?” As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for Ye Ting’s consent, he walked towards the trapdoor on his own.

Ye Ting had no choice but to pick up Linnet and followed him. The two entered the trapdoor together.

Well, now he just left and returned to this level.

Walking in the empty corridor, Dumbledore chatted:”In fact, I am very happy that a child like you can make so many friends in school… Miss Zhang Qiu from Ravenclaw, Miss Susan Bones from Hufflepuff, and Miss Hermione Granger from Gryffindor are all excellent little witches~”

“Yes,” Ye Ting nodded, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth,”I am also honored that they like an orphan like me and let me feel the warmth of home in this school.”

“However, I see that you seem to have some prejudice against Slytherin College?”

Dumbledore suddenly pointed out,”This is not good. A smart child like you should not be affected by certain rumors. Even in Slytherin, there are many friends worth making.”

“Of course, I firmly believe this.”Ye Ting nodded.

Speaking of Slytherin, Dumbledore was right. Ye Ting did have some opinions about this college, but as Dumbledore said, he could also find a few friends worth making in this college.

For example, Daphne Greengrass… Although this little girl once gave Malfoy key advice when Malfoy was looking for trouble with her – but in the whole Slytherin, her appearance is the most in line with Ye Ting’s friend standards.

But when the words came to his lips, they turned into:”In fact, Mr. Malfoy and I are good friends.”

Then he added in his heart,”For the sake of friendship fees.”

Hearing this, Dumbledore looked at Ye Ting in surprise, and the smile on his face deepened.

In front of them was the wall where they had graffitied. Dumbledore looked at it with a smile. The words”Snape was here” written by Ye Ting had not been erased yet.

Ye Ting was thick-skinned and pretended not to see it.

Dumbledore seemed to have remembered Hermione’s message last night, and said casually:”What do you think about Miss Granger’s complaint?”

“My opinion?”Ye Ting was stunned, not understanding why Dumbledore talked about this without any reason.

“Yes, it was her opinions and suggestions on the teaching at Hogwarts. I saw that she mentioned in the letter that you had also expressed dissatisfaction with the current teaching situation, and that half of the professors in the entire Hogwarts were unqualified.”

Ye Ting was stunned when he heard this.

Hermione, you tricked me!

No wonder you never let me read the complaint letter, it turns out you were waiting for me here… You’re dead!

Ye Ting cursed in his heart, but his face remained calm. He cleared his throat and said:

“To be honest, I think our Hogwarts teaching team still has a lot of room for improvement.”

“I have an idea. We can introduce a last-place elimination system to regularly assess professors’ teaching and academic performance. Those professors who have already taken up their posts will also have to undergo an annual review. If they fail the review, they will have to be put under some pressure. If they do not improve, they will have to leave within a year.”

“For new teachers, we can learn from the Muggles and implement a 3+3 assessment system. That is, every three years, if they are not promoted to professor after two terms, then we will not renew their contract.”

“Also, the output of papers is also very important. Young teachers… I mean, if they want to be promoted to professors, they must publish a few papers in top journals, right? We can’t let them just sit around here.……”

“If we work hard like this for a few years, our school will definitely be able to take a big step forward in the next education evaluation.”

Ye Ting finished speaking and smiled shyly:”Professor, this is just a little idea of mine, what do you think?”

“……”

This suggestion is not small, it is more thoughtful than the entire Ministry of Magic combined!

But he just nodded slightly and said gently:”Ye Ting, you can write down these ideas and send them to the Ministry of Education. Maybe they will adopt them.”

He pondered for a moment and added softly:”In fact, Professor Snape and I have been discussing some new plans recently, such as restarting activities that have been suspended for many years, such as the Magic School Potions Championship and the Triwizard Tournament.”

“That’s great, more communication leads to progress.”Ye Ting agreed.

As they walked and talked, they passed Professor Flitwick’s level unknowingly.

Looking at the keys flying back into the sky, Dumbledore’s smile became even brighter.

He seemed to mistakenly think that Ye Ting came back specially to clean up the mess left last night, which deepened Ye Ting’s image of a”good boy” in his mind.

Ye Ting also realized this, but he said nothing and let Dumbledore misunderstand.

Soon, the two finally passed the chessboard level and came to Snape’s room.

Seeing that the level was about to end, Ye Ting asked knowingly:”Professor, is there anything special that brings you here?”

Dumbledore did not directly answer”I came to find Ye Ting”, but said calmly:”I’m here to give you a mirror”

“Mirror?” (To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novels!)

Ye Ting curiously followed Dumbledore into the room.

He saw a large mirror in the room, which was the one that was placed in the principal’s office before.

On the top of the mirror was engraved a line of words:

Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi.

Ye Ting saw at a glance that in order to decipher this spell, he needed to turn it over and separate it again, which became: ow t ur ce but your hearts desire[]

Meaning”I don’t show you your face, but the desire of your heart”

“Do you know the secret of this mirror?” Dumbledore approached the mirror and asked mysteriously.

Ye Ting nodded.

“This is the Mirror of Erised, which is said to be able to reflect a person’s deepest desires.”

“”Oh? So what do you see in the mirror, kid?” Dumbledore asked casually.

But he didn’t know that the little wizard in front of him was an out-and-out time traveler, and he knew the headmaster quite well before joining Hogwarts.

At this time, Ye Ting had keenly realized that this question was the real purpose of Dumbledore’s invitation to him for a walk.

Although Dumbledore was relieved when facing Snape, even Dumbledore still had some concerns in the face of Ye Ting’s extraordinary talent.

Therefore, he planned to use the Mirror of Erised to test Ye Ting’s true thoughts.

Ye Ting naturally realized this.

Of course, only he could see what was in the Mirror of Erised. He could make up a bunch of lies. With his brain occlusion technique, Dumbledore could not see his thoughts at all.

But there were still risks in doing so. With Dumbledore’s keenness, he could at least tell whether Ye Ting had said anything by concentrating his attention and observing. Lie.

But Ye Ting couldn’t tell everything he saw.

He couldn’t tell Dumbledore that he saw in the mirror that he would unify the wizarding world in the future, secretly control the Muggle world, and then go a step further, open up a portal to travel through the worlds, and travel through the heavens and the worlds.

Not to mention the unification of the world, which might be too dangerous in Dumbledore’s eyes.

Of course, even if Dumbledore knew this, Ye Ting would not be so worried, but the main problem was trouble.

After all, it was not easy to explain just traveling through the heavens and the worlds.

Ye Ting immediately had an idea.

He continued to stare at the mirror, while taking measures to deal with the Sorting Hat, trying to resonate with Lisa’s Eye of God.

Sure enough, the will in the Eye of God could deceive the Sorting Hat, and of course it could also deceive the Mirror of Erised.

What appeared in the Mirror of Erised became a scene that combined Ye Ting’s thoughts and the part of Lisa’s will that matched Ye Ting’s ideas.

After a long while, he whispered:

“I saw a child who was concentrating on his study.”

This was absolutely honest, even if Dumbledore’s [Legend of��】No matter how strong it is, there is no falsehood.

Because this is what Ye Ting saw.

However, this is only the product of Lisa’s will, and it is also a part of the scene.

He did not mention that the child who was reading was surrounded by all kinds of attractive girls: Hermione, Susan, Zhang Qiu, Penelope and others were among them, and there was even a cat girl…

Dumbledore looked at Ye Ting with a little surprise. He thought that this orphan boy would see a warm family, a lot of wealth or absolute power (Wang Hao Zhao) or something…

Generally speaking, children from orphans will desire this.

However, Ye Ting showed a serious expression,”Professor, what I desire most in my heart is endless knowledge and the mysteries of magic.”

“You are a true Ravenclaw, child.”

Dumbledore was silent for a long time before he put his arm around the boy’s shoulders, his voice gentle and deep.

“Ye Ting, if you want to explore around in the future, or go out for a night walk with your companions, remember to be careful and don’t go to those dangerous places, understand?”

“I’m sorry, professor.” Ye Ting put on a well-behaved look and said,”I shouldn’t have taken them wandering around late at night, and I shouldn’t have gone to the forbidden area in the corridor.”

“Oh, no need to apologize. There is nothing wrong with taking a night walk occasionally. Who hasn’t taken a night walk secretly when they were young?”

The old man smiled and reminded,”However, not every little wizard is as capable as you, so if you are in a dangerous place, you have to protect your friends, understand?”

Ye Ting nodded.

“Also, Professor McGonagall is very angry when she finds out that you took Miss Granger out for a night out.”Dumbledore blinked,”Of course, I didn’t tell her, and I don’t know who told her, maybe Professor Snape. Anyway, she is very angry now, you have to be careful recently, don’t put yourself in danger.”

“……”

After Ye Ting left, Dumbledore stood alone in front of the mirror.

The white-haired old man from last night appeared in the mirror again, smiling at him.

“I have high hopes for this orphan.” Dumbledore said softly,”He loves magic just like you and Tom, and is gifted…even more talented than you, so I will guide him well.”

He closed his eyes and gently touched the mirror, as if he was caressing the face of the old man in the mirror:

“Bless me, Gellert, I won’t let him become another you, or go the way of Tom, I swear……”
