Ancient Warlocks at Hogwarts

This year's year-end dinner was even more magical than last year. Everyone wore pajamas and celebrated in the auditorium for the whole night. Afterwards, Andre got even more wonderful news. Lucius Malfoy was giving away a large sum of money. Later, although he was exempted from prison, he was still expelled from the Hogwarts school board.

This incident obviously made Draco Malfoy lose his previous arrogant attitude. You must know that in the past, he regarded himself as the master of the school, but now he can only be seen gloomy all day long. He had a face that seemed full of resentment.

But no matter what, this troubled semester has finally passed. Even if Harry was extremely unwilling, he had to go back to his aunt and uncle's house on Privet Drive to spend the next month, because the little boy Sirius told him that he had to be busy tracking Voldemort during this month, and he could only spend the remaining month of vacation to pick him up and spend it at the Black Mansion in Grimmauld Place.

Of course, the little witch couldn't bear to say goodbye to Andre, but it was impossible for her to go to the United States with the boy, not to mention that Mr. Granger had not yet made up his mind to take her to the other side of the Atlantic during the summer vacation. This matter was undoubtedly The little witch has been sulking for a long time, but she is just a 12-year-old girl now, and she cannot run away from home without her parents.

So when bidding farewell at the station in Hogsmeade, Andre could only comfort him in a low voice: "It's only two months, we will be able to meet again soon, and even if you go to the United States for vacation, we may not be able to We bump into each other."

In response to these remarks, the little witch curled her lips, but did not refute. Fortunately, the Hogwarts Express was about to pull into the station, and she did not continue to struggle with this issue with Andre.

"Well, see you next semester."

"See you next semester."

As the train whined again, Andre was alone on the platform at Hogsmeade Station, and everyone went back to their homes.

Naturally, he had to wait for Professor Dumbledore to finish the work at hand before taking him to the country on the other side of the Atlantic.

Fortunately, he did not wait too long. After returning to the castle and spending a leisurely afternoon, Professor Dumbledore appeared in the Gryffindor common room.

"Have you prepared your luggage?" the principal asked gently.

Andre lifted the suitcase at his feet, indicating that he was ready.

"It seems you want to take that Charmander with you to the United States?" Dumbledore looked at the suitcase made of lambskin and chuckled softly.

Regarding Norbeta, in addition to a few friends and Hagrid, of course, Sirius and the others who helped him deal with the Free Magic Union before were indispensable. Andre did not tell anyone else, but he also knew very well that Hogg There were few things Watts could hide from the seemingly ordinary old man in front of him.

So in response to Professor Dumbledore's joke, Andre just touched the back of his head shyly.

"Don't be sorry, I understand what you are thinking. Anyway, having a Norwegian Spinosaurus to help can indeed make your safety more secure." Mr. Principal did not reprimand Norberta for his presence. After all, he could It's not Professor McGonagall. As long as it's not out of malice, the old man can tolerate most of the little wizard's outrageous actions with a smile.

"Then, let's set off." Then Professor Dumbledore stretched out one of his arms and motioned for Andre to hold it.

"Apparition?" But this was a bit beyond Andre's expectations. He thought that the principal would send him to the United States through other means.

"Of course, you can't expect me to have a door key that can transport you to the United States, right?" Dumbledore said with a smile.

Of course Andre didn't mean this. He said unhappily: "I just didn't expect you, Professor, to take me across the Atlantic Ocean by apparation. This is not something ordinary people can do."

Apparition is not a very difficult magic. At least most wizards in the wizarding world can master it after the age of 17. However, the distance this magic can move is completely different from person to person.

Even with Andre's current strength, the most he can do is teleport from Hogsmeade to London. If he wants to cross continents, that is not something he can do at the moment, and his current magic level is higher than that of other people. Some Aurors are outstanding, which shows how powerful Dumbledore is.

"This is just an old man over 100 years old who has taken a few steps on the road to winning magic. I believe that it won't be long before you can accomplish such a small thing." However, the principal himself was not very proud of this. , he comforted Andre instead.

But Andre doesn't think so. He is very self-aware. Even if he successfully obtains the magical properties of the second magical animal during this trip to the United States, and the magic level increases again, the most he can do is to apparate from the UK. To the European continent, it is still an impossible feat to cross the entire Atlantic Ocean.

After gently holding Dumbledore's skinny arm, the old man raised the corners of his mouth, then turned around with Andre, and without even making a slight sound, the two of them disappeared into Gryphon. Among the many common rooms.

To do this in Hogwarts, which has an anti-Apparition spell, no one else can do it except their headmaster. Not even Voldemort can do it. Of course, it is completely different from the human wizard magic system. Except for creatures.

Andre also didn't know whether Dumbledore was able to ignore the castle's anti-Apparition spell because of his privilege as the headmaster, or because of the role of the holy acorn in his body that incorporated the characteristics of the phoenix. Like elves, Fawkes can also use Apparition in Hogwarts.

When he came to his senses, the Gryffindor common room with the fireplace was no longer in front of him. What appeared in front of the boy was a somewhat dilapidated log cabin.

Surrounding the cabin were towering redwood trees. Each of these giant trees seemed to reach straight into the clouds. Standing on the ground, Andre couldn't even see where the top of the tree was.

"Where is this?" Andre asked curiously after looking at the environment around him.

"This is the place of an old friend," Dumbledore said with a look of nostalgia on his face: "I entrust you to his care for two months. Here you don't have to worry about meeting the apprentices sent by Van Dijk. They don’t dare to enter this redwood forest.”

Of course Andre didn't know who the old friend Dumbledore was talking about, but since the principal said that the apprentices of the Free Magical Union did not dare to enter here, then this old friend must also be a powerful wizard.

But this was somewhat beyond his expectation. He thought that Dumbledore would just send him to the United States, and then he could follow his own plan to find a second magical animal that could be fused into the Holy Acorn, but he didn't. Thinking of it, the old man even found a bodyguard for him.

"I know what you are thinking," but Dumbledore seemed to see through his mind at once, and said softly: "Don't worry, if you have the goal of integrating the Holy Acorn in the future, you can talk to me as an old man. My friend, tell me to leave here on your own, but in that case, you have to be prepared in advance. People from the Free Magical Union do not usually enter the United States, but because of the Holy Acorns, will Van Dijk violate this rule? I also I’m not sure, so I can only warn you in advance that if you encounter an enemy, you can escape back here. Although my old friend will not easily walk out of the woods, there should not be many people here who dare to provoke him."

These words made Andre breathe a sigh of relief. As long as the principal didn't ask him to stay in this redwood forest for two months, then it wouldn't matter much. After all, if that was the case, he might as well He stayed directly in the Hogwarts castle, where at least there were more than 100 house elves taking care of his daily life.

"Francis, I think you should have received the letter I sent you." After talking to Andre, Dumbledore moved to the door of the cabin and knocked lightly. The broken wooden door seemed to be completely corroded by time, and then he shouted loudly.

But what surprised Andre was that after they waited for a long time, there was no movement from the wooden house.

Could it be that Professor Dumbledore's old friend is not here?The boy couldn't help but think.

It's just that the principal didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. He was still waiting at the door with a smile on his face. He stopped knocking on the door and just stood there.

Half an hour later, when Andre could hardly help but remind Dumbledore that there was probably no one in this wooden house, the broken wooden door opened with a creak.

An old man with white hair walked out. He didn't look like a wizard. His strong build and leather armor made him more like a medieval warrior.

With Andre's height now approaching 1.8 meters, he also looks a bit petite when standing opposite the old man. This shows how strong this old man is.

"Damn it, I've obviously restrained all my auras and even used the Transfiguration Technique. Why can you still be sure that I'm here?" The old man who was called Francis by Dumbledore was not as enthusiastic as Andre imagined. , he complained impatiently.

"Oh, of course I can't be sure, Francis, but I guessed that you wouldn't leave here and hide because of my letter. So, you see, I waited a little longer, didn't I just wait for you? Did you show up?" Professor Dumbledore's words could not reflect what kind of friendship he had with Francis, but it made Andre feel that the relationship between the two was weird.

"You are still as cunning as before." Francis patted a wooden stake at the door angrily, and then turned his attention to Andre behind Dumbledore: "This is the boy you were talking about, don't you worry that I will peel him off?" Two sacred acorns in his body? Although I already have one, no one can have too many of these, right?"

Andre didn't feel nervous about Francis's words. The principal was standing in front of him. There was no way he would be stripped of the Holy Acorn by others. But Francis said that he already had a Holy Acorn. This incident surprised the boy. When did holy acorns become so common?

The ancestors of Adrian's family spent thousands of years without finding the second Holy Acorn, but he inherited one from his grandfather during Christmas the year before last, and went to Norway during the summer vacation last year after all the hard work. It was bitter, and I got Sophia in to get the second one.

Now some people are saying that he also has a holy relic of the Druid sect in his body. Counting what Professor Dumbledore said, he also has a sacred acorn that incorporates the characteristics of a phoenix. So this is the first thing Andre has encountered. Four holy acorns.

"On this point, I will always believe that you will not do such a thing, Francis." While Andre was still thinking blankly, Dumbledore said calmly: "This child is the heir of the Adrian family. I know you have always hated pure-blood families, but Andre is different from them. He grew up in a Muggle society, and his father is a Muggle. He did not know the existence of magic until he was 11 years old. .”

"The Adrian family?" Francis frowned and said uncertainly: "I seem to have heard of this family from France, but it seems to have disappeared more than 20 years ago."

"That's true." This time without Dumbledore, Andre stood up and explained: "My grandfather was killed by the mentor of the Free Magical Union more than 20 years ago, and my mother died after my grandfather. Before I was born, I was given a forgetting spell and sent to a farm family in Belarus to be raised, so before I received the admission notice to Hogwarts, I didn’t even know that there was such a thing as magic in this world.”

"Those bastards from the Free Magical Union again?" Dumbledore's letter to the old gentleman didn't seem to be too detailed. After hearing Andre's statement, he cursed with some disgust.

Dumbledore nodded: "Yes, Francis, Andre is being targeted by the newly rising mentor in France, Ivan Van Dijk. You know, I can't leave the UK for the time being, and Andre is also We must find the second magical property of fusion, so I can only leave him to you for the time being."

"Although I hate those bastards, you know, I won't walk out of the woods for this kid." But Francis still didn't agree, he shook his head and said.

"You don't need to go out of this forest. If Andre goes to hunt magical animals, he will set off alone. I just hope that he can have a safe house in the United States that is not endangered by the Free Magical Union." Dumbledore Lido was not angry at Francis's rejection, he explained softly.

Francis hesitated for a moment, and finally did not refuse. He said: "If it's just like this, there's no problem, but I want to remind you, boy, you have to abide by my rules here. If you don't agree with this, , then let’s follow Albus back to England.”
