time at hogwarts

The perfect ending of the King of Cards Competition allowed Magos and the others to finally let go of their worries. Looking at the envious eyes of the surrounding students looking at the champions, it is not difficult to imagine that the next competition will be even more lively than this one.

Next, Kang privately told Miss Champion that if she has time next year, she can come to Hogwarts to host the next King of Cards Tournament. Of course, it doesn't matter if she doesn't have time. The magic cards and card boxes will be in different places before the next game starts. Time returns to school on its own, no need for her to send it back.

When the students left in twos and threes, the Gryffindor walked up to Magos calmly. When the students around him saw him, they had complicated expressions in their eyes that wanted to laugh but also felt aggrieved for him. The level of Gryffindor students is obvious to all, but that luck...

Quirrell looked at him inquiringly with a smile on his face, thinking for a while and then suddenly smiled. It seemed that he had guessed who this was.

"Can I invite you out?" He chuckled at Magos.

"When..." Magos said half a word.

"Of course not, you need to rest now." Hermione said seriously.

"It won't take long for me to have a chat with him. If Miss Granger is worried, you can come over." He looked up at the curious Harry and smiled, "You can come together too."

He led Magos, the others, and Quirrell hanging behind them, until they walked to the corridor of the principal's office.

"How did you get to the principal?" Harry asked strangely.

"Because it was the principal who invited us, right, Principal Dumbledore." Quirrell stepped forward and smiled.

"Thanks to Professor Quirrell, I think Minerva and Severus also guessed that I am not a student, but they probably didn't know who I was pretending to be so quickly." Dumbledore looked at Quirrell approvingly. He took out his wand and used a revealing spell on himself and Quirrell.

In the eyes of Harry and others, the two seniors slowly transformed into the familiar Professor Quirrell and Principal Dumbledore.

"Professor Quirrell, Principal Dumbledore? You..." Hermione opened her mouth in surprise.

"Relax, Miss Granger, it's a holiday now, isn't it." Dumbledore smiled slyly.

"Okay, okay." Hermione still couldn't accept this reality, so she closed her mouth tightly and remained silent.

Watching Dumbledore open the door of his office, Magos asked the question in his mind.

"Principal Dumbledore, those cards in the game just now were done on purpose by you, right?" Although he was very confident in the anti-cheating ability of magic cards, it also depended on who he was facing. Facing this principal with unpredictable magic power, he I no longer have confidence.

"The magic cards you made are very good. Even I have to use some tricks to prevent them from sounding the alarm."

"You actually cheated." Harry and Ron were stunned again. They never imagined that the respected principal not only changed his appearance to participate in their activities that violated school rules, but also cheated during the activities.

"If the principal doesn't cheat, the championship will belong to the principal." Magos curled his lips and said.

"But principal, have you ever played poker?"

"Oh, that was a long time ago. I went to the United States for some reasons and stayed in a city called Las Vegas for a while. There were all these things there. I thought it was interesting, so I started playing. Play." Dumbledore said casually.

'Some reason?It's probably to hunt down Grindelwald. 'Of course this is just what he thinks in his mind, he won't say it out loud.

After entering the office, Dumbledore conjured up several chairs and invited them to sit down.After chatting casually for a while, Dumbledore said sorry to Harry and the others, took Magos to the cubicle in the office, smiled slightly, and asked him seriously.

"Mr. Will, can you tell me about the magic circle and the egg?"

Magos was well prepared and immediately told him in detail the origins of the parchment and eggs, as well as the information he was looking for.

Dumbledore seemed to have a guess and just confirmed it with him.

"I didn't expect the legend to be true, but Mr. Will, you are so brave, you actually dared to use an unknown magic circle based on those vague information." He shook his head and continued, "You know what I told you yesterday What does it mean that the magic stone disappeared?"

Magos wondered, didn't he destroy it like the original book?

"The Philosopher's Stone was absorbed by your egg." Magos's first reaction after hearing this was disbelief. Then he looked at Dumbledore's solemn expression and felt a sudden shock in his heart. This was the first time he had seen such an expression on him. .

"I asked about the Magic Stone before you came to school. I told you that its magic power cannot be directly absorbed by wizards, and can only use things modified by it. But in ancient times, you knew that the Magic Stone was needed in addition to alchemy and the creation of immortality. Is there any use besides the elixir?"

"What's the use?" Magos was a little nervous.

&

nbsp; "Use it to attract very powerful magical animals. Only it can attract those powerful magical animals who don't know where they are hiding. As far as I know, such powerful magical animals have not appeared for hundreds of years. Even their existence has made many people doubtful." Dumbledore looked at him calmly.

"You mean?" Magos asked dryly.

"It may be a magical animal of that level." After speaking, he looked at Magos who was extremely excited and waved his hand.

"Don't get excited yet. You know the phoenix is ​​also a very powerful magical animal." He pointed at the pet that came in with them.

Magos didn't quite understand what he meant and nodded doubtfully.

Dumbledore said happily, "The more powerful magical animals are, the longer they need to grow. Although I don't know what magical animal your egg is, it is definitely much stronger than my phoenix. Do you think I am so big and the power of the phoenix is ​​only a little, how long will it take for yours to grow?"

Magos was stunned for a moment.

"I can also guess a bit about the contract between you and that magical animal. They should be powerful together."

Magos nodded with a sad face. He was thinking about whether to find another magic stone to make an elixir to wait until the mysterious magical animal grew up.Maybe he will become a god in tens of thousands of years...

"There's good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

"Okay." Magos said after a moment of hesitation.

"The good news is that because your magical animal has absorbed the power of a magic stone, its power will exceed yours in the next period of time, which means that your magic power will grow very quickly during this period of time. "After hearing this, Magos's eyes lit up. He took the risk to use the parchment in the hope of becoming stronger to deal with the upcoming enemies.

The confusion in Dumbledore's eyes flashed when he looked at his expression. He wondered why Magos had such a strong desire for power. He had only seen this kind of desire in three people, and those three people were because of He acted like that after being greatly stimulated. The little boy in front of him didn't look like he had been stimulated.

"The bad news is that because it is too powerful, the magic power of the Philosopher's Stone will make it grow a lot in a short period of time, but if it is not replenished before the power of the Philosopher's Stone completely disappears, it will decline at an extremely fast rate. By then it will It will absorb the magic power from you, and although it will not put your life in danger, at that time you will be no different from a Squib."

The happy expression on Magos's face disappeared, and he tried to ask, "How should I supplement it?"

"A magic stone, or an item with very powerful magic power, can make it alleviate or grow rapidly again."

"Are such items for sale?" He felt that such a thing should not exist.

"Yes, there is." Dumbledore said firmly.

"Huh?" Dumbledore didn't follow the routine, but he liked his answer.

"But that's not something you can access now, and it's also rare. If I find it, I can buy it back for you, but you have to pay for it yourself."

"Of course, how many Galleons will that cost?"

"About 100 million. The last time it was auctioned at a Muggle auction, the final price was 120 million."

"A Muggle auction?"

"A marketing method, using Muggles to deliver news." Dumbledore said nonchalantly.

"In addition, although the Magic Stone was originally intended to be destroyed, but now that it has been absorbed by your egg, it is equivalent to being taken away by you. When I have time, I will take you to my old friend Nico Lemen. See what he says."

"Okay, principal."

After saying that, Dumbledore took Magos out of the cubicle and once again praised Harry and the others for their bravery and asked them to go back and pay attention.But Quirrell did not leave with them.

"What did the principal tell you?" Ron asked curiously in the corridor.

"Well, it was what happened after you fainted that day."

After chatting and laughing all the way back to the lounge, Hermione said good night to them with a complicated expression.

Magos returned to the dormitory and lay on the bed and fell asleep deeply as soon as he closed his eyes. Shortly after he fell asleep, the egg beside his bed made a soft sound, as if something wanted to come out of it, but the eggshell The hardness of the egg shell was beyond imagination, and the sound continued for a long time. Finally, a very thin crack could be seen on the egg shell, but the creature inside seemed to have exhausted its strength and soon became silent.

When Magos got up, he saw a piece of parchment appearing inexplicably next to him. It said that after his egg hatched, if he wanted to, he could invite him to take his pet to Newt Scamander's house.Signed by Albus Dumbledore.

"Newt Scamander?" McGoss repeated his name, then stood up and pulled out the book "Monsters and Where to Find Them". The author was Newt Scamander.
