A sharp Hogwarts

The world line Dalia stirs up is more than just a few little girls’ new nicknames.

Hermione, Harry and others quickly forgot about the Philosopher's Stone and did not search for who Flamel was like in the original work.

In addition, at the end of the dinner that day, Professor McGonagall suddenly and quietly called Harry.

"Well, you have a visitor, Harry," said Professor McGonagall.

"Visitors...?" Harry asked confused.

At this time, a haggard middle-aged man walked out from behind Professor McGonagall.

His face was sunken and sallow, surrounded by shaggy, black and long hair, and he looked as if he had just endured a long torture.

"Well - I thought you might not remember me, I mean, I was a terrible guy."

The haggard man looked at Harry, looking a little nervous, his eyes full of concern.

"My name is Sirius Black, I-I am-"

"I heard my cousin mention that you are my godfather."

Harry said quickly, turning his head and glancing at Dalia beside him.

"Cousin?" Sirius was a little confused and followed Harry's gaze to look at Dalia.

"When do you have a watch-"

Then, his pupils narrowed and his mouth opened wide, staring straight at Dalia.

"Li-Lily?!"

"That's Lily's niece, Sirius."

Professor McGonagall replied, looking thoughtfully at Daria and patting Harry on the shoulder.

"The staff room is empty at the moment. I think you guys have a lot to say-"

As she spoke, she pointed to the small door on the side of the auditorium.

"Then, Dalia, the principal wants to see you."

"Oh, got it--"

Dalia curled her lips, she wanted to lean in and listen to the conversation between Sirius and Harry.

However, now that Dumbledore, the head professor, has spoken...

"Hello Mr. Black, my name is Daria, Daria Dursley."

Dalia elegantly introduced herself to Sirius, her lake-blue eyes clear and pure.

"I heard my mother mention you, when talking about Aunt Lily's wedding, saying that you were Uncle James's... friend."

"Uh--"

Sirius Black looked embarrassed.

But the next second, he scratched his hair and grinned in relief.

"You're such a good friend... Ha, that's right -"

Lily's...niece?

Sirius took a deep look at Dalia, and then at Harry who was a little scared next to him.

It has to be said that when these two people appeared in front of him at the same time, he almost thought he saw James and Lily.

Except for the different hair color and eye color, this child is a perfect replica of Lily.

As for Harry...well, the kid is more like a smaller version of James.

"Then, I'll go to Professor Dumbledore first—"

Dalia nodded, gave Harry a reassuring look, and walked towards the staff table.

She glanced at Snape inadvertently, but a turmoil arose in her heart.

So, she looks a lot like Lily Evans? !

Why didn't anyone ever tell her? !

No wonder Snape always hangs around here during class and occasionally shows some abnormal favoritism.

Before, she thought it was because of her little cousin's eyes, but now it seems that she herself is more dangerous than Harry...

All in all, if Snape wanted to leave her alone to make up lessons or something from now on, she would never go.

…………

Dalia left the auditorium, trying not to think about Yang Buhui's story.

She felt that Ron and Harry's bet had won, and Malfoy would probably be imprisoned for a second time.

But she wasn't happy now. Lily's impersonation was not a good thing - it was dancing on the edge of a knife.

Although Professor Snape is not a pervert, it will be hard to tell when she grows up, and he is also a potions master.

In contrast, Professor Dumbledore's "summoning" is not a troublesome matter, it is mainly the final notification about the "prophetic event".

In the original book, Harry's adventure journey from the first to the seventh part was completely resolved in less than a month.But this is not surprising. After gathering the power of Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic, the "trouble" that has not yet developed has no room for resistance at all, leaving only a little bit of historical legacy.

The only thing left unsolved now is the thousand-year-old snake in the Chamber of Secrets. Dumbledore plans to ask Scamander for his advice.

Meanwhile, bigwigs are considering how to award Dalia for her assistance in these events.

The Hogwarts Special Contribution Award and the Medal of Merlin are not decided by one person - Cornelius Fudge suggested that the details of the capture of "Peter Pettigrew" should be announced at the appropriate time, and reasonable commendation elements should be added to it. This can be regarded as a special reward for Dalia from the Ministry of Magic and the school. Dumbledore's main purpose that night was to seek Dalia's consent. If the identity of the prophet was not revealed, then they had to make up a superficially reasonable story. Full story.

Half an hour later, Dahlia returned to the Gryffindor common room, and Harry returned inside.

"Sirius invited me to his house for the holidays," Harry said, "but I declined. I still want to be with everyone at school this Christmas."

"Don't look at me - of course, if you want to ask me what I think," Dahlia glanced at Harry, wondering if she was going to end up raising her little cousin, "I suggest you do it before agreeing. It’s better to remind him to clean up the old house first. Sirius has been imprisoned in Azkaban for ten years, so the old magic house depreciates very quickly.”

"You can go during the summer vacation. There's a lot of delicious food at school at Christmas."

George smiled and said that he, Fred, Percy, and Ron would all stay at Hogwarts for the holidays.

Because the Weasleys planned to visit Charlie in Romania, and their little sister Ginny would also go there with her parents.

"What about you? Dalia—"

"After breakfast tomorrow morning, Professor Dumbledore will accompany me to Diagon Alley to buy a knife."

Dalia said, "If nothing else happens, I'll be back before dinner, but everyone will probably have left by then."

Tomorrow is the last day before the holiday, and the school does not have any classes scheduled.

After breakfast in the morning, Hermione and the others would pack their bags and board the train home.

Dalia teleports directly to Diagon Alley through the magic fireplace - if it is delayed, all the shops will be closed.

Dumbledore originally wanted Snape to accompany her to buy a knife, but eventually gave in due to Dalia's objections.

Not to mention that Snape was in some danger now, it was a particularly honorable thing for the Headmaster of Hogwarts to accompany him to Diagon Alley for shopping.

With this kind of treatment alone, Dalia might be able to negotiate with the boss for a discount if she goes shopping there in the future.

"By the way, Ron, Harry, do you have anything you want to help bring -"

Dalia turned her head and looked at the friends around her.

According to regulations, students who choose to stay in school are not allowed to leave school during holidays.

If you are caught by a school professor, in addition to deducting points, you may even be expelled depending on the seriousness of the case.

"Uh - I have enough stuff..."

Ron shook his head and smiled awkwardly.

The Weasleys had seven children to raise, and he never had more than ten Silver Sickles in his pocket.

"Well, I didn't either - oh, by the way! Dalia, wait a minute -"

Harry also shook his head, and then he seemed to remember something and quickly ran back to the boys' dormitory upstairs.

A few minutes later, Harry hurried back with a handful of gold and silver coins in his hand.

"What are you doing?" Dalia looked at her wealthy cousin in surprise.

"These are the gold coins I took out when I started school. I still have a lot of them that I haven't used yet."

Harry stuffed it into Dalia's pocket without any explanation, and scratched his cheek rather embarrassedly.

"Aunt Petunia asked me to take care of you, but cousin you are always taking care of me. I think you must have a lot of things you want to buy..."

"Uh--"

Dalia looked at Harry who looked sincere and nodded helplessly.

Dumbledore promised to bear the cost of all the necessary supplies for her trip to Diagon Alley.

However, she still did not refuse Harry's kindness - these gold galleons were considered as gift purchase fees.

…………

Early the next morning, Dalia, Hermione and others said goodbye and went directly to the principal's office.

Dumbledore was waiting inside in advance, and the fireplace in the office was burning fiercely.

"The Ministry of Magic temporarily opened it for us, one-way -"

Dumbledore said with a smile, pointing to the fire, "The Thestral is actually okay, but I think it might be a bit too ostentatious."

He picked up an exquisite three-legged silver stove from the small desk and handed it to Dalia.

"Floo fan, I remember you said you've 'seen' how to use it."

"Throw it into the fire and then name the place exactly?"

Dalia replied with some uncertainty. She didn't know if this version of the magical world had changed.

Judging from her current experience, most of the original things will still exist, but it is hard to say whether there will be magical changes.

"Almost—but not thrown into the fire..."

Dumbledore shrugged, picked up a handful of silver powder, and put it in his mouth.

Immediately afterwards, the old man turned and sprayed violently towards the fireplace.

puff!

The silver powder sprayed like water mist and fell into the blazing fire.

The next moment, the fire quickly turned bright purple.

"Be careful, don't eat it-"

Dumbledore said, he glanced at Dahlia, shrugged, and explained casually.

"It looks a bit like salt, but it's actually quite different. After being treated with magic, it can establish a temporary floo network."

"Well, this..."

Dalia glanced at the bright purple and asked cautiously.

"Then what is this ingredient..."

"Potassium chloride, of course, that's what the Muggles call it—"

Dumbledore said casually, his blue eyes looking at the bright purple flames.

"Centuries ago, wizards discovered that flames will change wonderfully, and different things will appear different when burning."

"If you take alchemy courses in the future, you will know that flames are not just red and yellow..."

"Well, I know...flame reaction."

Dalia's mouth twitched as she looked at the distinctive purple fire.

The floo network flames in the original novel are faintly green, and logically speaking, they should contain copper or barium.

The color of the flames in this world has changed. This is not the key. The most important thing is...

"Professor Dumbledore—"

An unknown premonition suddenly arose in Dalia's heart.

"This is...chemistry, right? Are these things taught in Hogwarts' senior courses?!"

"Of course, otherwise how can we study microscopic magic changes."

Dumbledore looked at Dalia with some confusion and explained with a gentle smile.

"For example, the secret of barbecue, the secret of happiness in sugar..."

"This is crucial knowledge."

"you--"

During Dumbledore's introduction, Dalia's eyes gradually became dull.

The origin of modern chemistry is alchemy, which sounds reasonable.And almost all great alchemists are wizards, which makes sense.

Therefore, modern magic alchemy is actually an enhanced version of modern chemistry - and this course will be added to the luxury package as a compulsory course in the second grade.

Cooking...is originally an alchemical reaction...

Okay, that doesn’t really sound like magic, but it does sound scientific.

Now she finally understood what was worse than a magically modified, culinary version of Hogwarts.

That is the Hogwarts Castle, which also studies biology and chemistry, and is based on the magic of food science. As a little witch at Hogwarts, she may have to experience it again. Fear dominated by chemical symbols and biological knowledge.

"Okay, it's almost time for us to set off...don't worry, those upper-level subjects are very interesting."

Dumbledore glanced at Dalia with some worry. It was the first time he had seen the little prophet witch so depressed.

If nothing else, she might have predicted certain courses or the content of the class in advance.

From this point of view, the "sight" ability is not all a good thing...

"Oh, let's go-"

Dalia, who "predicted" the tragic experience in the future, said weakly.

She now began to regret why she had gone to such trouble to keep her place at Hogwarts.

Chemistry, why does this kind of thing appear in the Magic Castle!

If you are good at cooking, why would you still study chemistry? !
