Hogwarts Archmage

Regarding the question of who Wald was, Marn didn't think about it for long before he was relieved. Anyway, no matter who he was, he was his mentor, an amiable and respectable person.

Seeing that the time was almost up, several people left the tower and went to the auditorium together. There were not many people at the long tables in each college, and they were all sitting near the front.

The management model of Hogwarts is actually very awkward, creating artificial confrontation and competition. Although it is easier for young wizards to make friends if they are sorted into houses according to their own personalities and hearts, but from the overall perspective of the school, this The pattern of division is inevitable.

If Hogwarts were a company, there would be nothing wrong with this, but it is a non-profit school after all...

There are quite a few students staying at school for the Christmas vacation, but it cannot be said that there are too many. Several colleges together cannot fit together a long table. If this is an ordinary school in the Muggle world, these students will definitely be gathered together. , but it would be impossible to change it to Hogwarts.

Although everyone is still happily looking forward to the upcoming feast, Ma En has a vague feeling that if the four colleges can spend Christmas in different places, the little wizards will definitely be happier than they are now.

The dinner was sumptuous, and Ma En especially liked the roasted lamb, which was well cooked.

After eating, as soon as Ma En and Esther returned to the tea house, they received a letter from Wald, asking him to go to him for a chat if he had time, and also included the password to the office.

Seeing that the time was only 07:30, Ma En planned to go tonight. Margery would come to stay tomorrow. He might not have time to go to Wald. Even if he had time, he might not be willing to discuss life with an old man during the holiday. .

They also met Filch on the road. He gave Marn a fierce look and said that it was best not to catch him during the curfew. Marn felt that it was a big deal and there seemed to be something wrong with this man, so he gave him a life. It's all in vain...

Walder's office is not far from Dumbledore's office. Without the password, you can't even find the door.

"tomorrow."

A double door slowly appeared on the wall. Marn opened the door, and Wald was leaning on the table and drinking a glass of red wine. The bottle on the table was half empty.

"Drinking so much wine at night is not a good habit."

"It's also not a good habit to cast a spell on a Squib because of his slightest offense."

"I hate him."

"I love wine."

"Okay, next topic." Ma En sighed. After so many years, the old guy's sharpness was still beyond his reach.

Walder laughed twice and said, "Actually, there's nothing else to do. Dumbledore has made a good thing. It can illuminate the scene in your heart. I want to take you to try it."

"Magic Mirror? You told me earlier. You told me earlier that I would bring Esther with me."

"Actually, she has already taken it. I can't say what it is exactly. Maybe you can ask her yourself."

"What about Margaery?"

"She also took a photo, well...it seemed like a very interesting scene. She was laughing all the time, but she didn't tell us."

"In other words, Esther told you?"

"Of course, Esther, a girl who is so considerate, will definitely tell us."

"Okay, then...are you going out now?" Ma En asked.

Walder put down his glass and waved his hand: "No, we can go directly to Albus and borrow the phoenix to take us there. Remember to keep it secret. He doesn't seem to want other students to know. That thing is a bit dangerous to people's minds. .”

After saying that, he clicked twice on the side wall, and another door appeared on the wall. He opened the door and went through. Dumbledore was writing something with a quill. He looked up and saw Walder and Marne. What? He didn't say anything, just nodded, and the phoenix on the shelf next to him flew over and circled around the two of them.

Val pulled Marn's hand and held Fox's paw. After a moment of pulling, they came to a place that looked like an abandoned classroom, where a huge mirror stood.

"Old Walder, do you think I can own a phoenix?" Ma En was not very interested in the Mirror of Erised, but instead focused on Fox.

"What do you want Phoenix for?"

"This is a phoenix, a phoenix!" Ma En pointed at Fox and said: "Who wouldn't want a phoenix? It's so beautiful, powerful, mysterious, and most importantly, it's much better than Apparition."

Since entering Hogwarts, Marne has never used Apparition. It's not that he doesn't dare to use it, but he can't use it. Hogwarts has added an anti-Apparition spell as a whole.

Although he felt that it would not be impossible if he used it forcefully, considering the danger of this magic, it would be useless for him. It would be a big deal if he accidentally loses control and destroys the school. .

"I'm afraid this is difficult, Marne. The phoenix is ​​the most loyal pet, but if you want to own it... based on my experience, there is only one Dumbledore, and even he is related to the family contract."

Walder was thinking while explaining, and suddenly thought of something, and changed the topic: "But if it's you, maybe, after all, you are so special, and they like fire very much."

After hearing Walder's words, Marn turned his head and looked at Fox. Fox also tilted his head and looked at him, seeming to be curious about why the two-legged beast in front of him was staring at it.

A small blue flame appeared on Ma En's finger, and slowly moved in front of Fox as he moved. Fox looked around a few times, stretched his neck, and pecked away the flame.

Its clear chirping sounded in the room, and it seemed that it was in a good mood.

"Fox, I know you understand what I'm saying. If you have time, you can ask your relatives and friends to see who is interested in coming to my place." Ma En raised a finger and lit up another one. Hua Miao, Shen Shen said to it, "I have plenty of this thing... I won't treat you badly."

Fox called twice. Ma En didn't understand the language of birds, so he turned his head and looked at Walder with some embarrassment.

"It agreed and said it would help you ask if it has time."

"Just two sounds, so much content?"

"I'm just an ordinary old man, and I'm not Dumbledore. How can I understand the language of birds?"

"I..." Ma En suddenly thought that the old man in front of him seemed to have taught him a lesson for swearing in Chinese, so he suppressed the last few words.

"what happened to you?"

"I'm fine, I shouldn't ask you."

"It's good to know." Walder pushed him in front of the mirror and urged: "Hurry, there are two sneaky little guys coming over the corridor, we can't let them find out, and we have to go back and pay them back after they're done. bird."

"Don't rush, don't rush, just watch it now."
