Hogwarts Dances with Dragons

What happened in Potions class quickly spread throughout Hogwarts.

Dumbledore, who originally planned to ask Ivan to meet him at night, also found Ivan after what happened.

There was silence in the principal's room. Dumbledore sat behind his desk and looked at Alvin, his eyes were unexpectedly calm.

"I thought you would be very angry." Ivan raised his eyebrows.

"Actually, I'm not surprised by what happened to Severus." Dumbledore shook his head slightly: "People always have to pay the price for their mistakes. Severus understands this truth better than anyone else, but unfortunately , he is not a person who knows how to reflect, and this has been the case since he was in school."

"But - Ivan, you are right, I am indeed a little angry." Dumbledore looked at Ivan sharply: "I don't object to you using black magic to fight against Voldemort, but Snape is one of your own, you This behavior can indeed be called excessive."

"Sorry, I'm used to it." Ai Wen felt he was wrong and apologized quickly: "There will be no next time."

"You are a very smart child, but I hope you will not be harmed by your own cleverness like Voldemort did." Dumbledore said gently.

"Black magic can corrode people's hearts. This is a common argument in the magic world. However, in fact, magic does not have the ability to affect the mind, but its own terrible lethality, the sense of power that can easily take away the lives of others, and the need for release. The malicious murderous intention is the root cause of the corruption of dark wizards."

"I hope you can control the reins of dark magic well, and please forgive me for being an old man's nagging - at least before I die, I really don't want another Dark Lord to appear." Dumbledore sighed.

Alvin sneered: "I'm not interested."

"I can see that." Dumbledore nodded slightly: "Okay, enough of the preaching, would you like a piece of pineapple preserves? I see that you really like this food. You can have some snacks first, and let's talk slowly. Something else."

"Thank you."

Ivan took the pineapple preserves from Dumbledore and took a box of Bibi's multi-flavor beans from the table. Based on his sense of smell, this thing couldn't fool him.

"I called you here today mainly because of my old friend, Nico Flamel." Dumbledore said: "He has successfully cracked the mystery of the time turner."

Ai Wen was a little surprised when he heard this: "So fast?"

"There's nothing surprising." Dumbledore said cheerfully: "In the field of alchemy, Nico's skills should be unmatched by anyone, not even the former maker of the time turner."

"After all, this old friend of mine is over 600 years old. He even created the Philosopher's Stone. Although the manufacturing method of the time turner has been lost, based on the existing finished products, I want to decipher the principle. Not difficult."

"But if there is only a time turner, it shouldn't make sense, right?" Ivan said.

"That's right." Dumbledore nodded: "So he wants to know your detailed description of the Eclipse Gate and what it felt like when you traveled through it."

"Let's talk about the Eclipse Gate first." Ivan ate pineapple preserves and recalled the experience of passing through the Eclipse Gate: "That is a golden portal that can only be opened through Aslant's unique star spirit magic. .”

"Can you tell me about this star spirit magic?" Dumbledore asked.

Ivan nodded: "Aslant is not a separate world. In the 'plane' where Aslant is located, there are many other parallel worlds, and the star spirit world is the most special among them. This world depends on In Aslant, there live the spirits of the constellations, what I call star spirits.”

"The star spirits have the power of the stars. They can form a contract with the magician through the 'key', and then be summoned by the magician from the star spirit world to Aslant. Among these star spirits, the most special and powerful Those are the twelve constellations of the zodiac.”

"My teacher Anna was a Celestial Spirit Mage. She collected the keys to the zodiac and opened the door to the eclipse with the power of the zodiac."

"The power of the stars... is really great and incredible!" Dumbledore heard this and said in a daze: "What about the Eclipse Gate?"

Ivan shook his head: "I don't know much about the Eclipse Gate. I only know that it is a product of magic alchemy. It looks like a golden portal with a sun relief in the middle and twelve keyholes around it..."

Ivan recalled: "As for passing through the Eclipse Gate... I actually can't remember it clearly. I can only feel that I am walking through a void."

"I guess, if the plan goes well..." Dumbledore thought: "You should come out of the door in the end, right?"

"That's right." Ivan nodded: "But actually I fell out of a void, and I was in the Forbidden Forest after I came out."

"I see, do you have any more detailed memories?" Dumbledore asked.

"No more." Ivan shook his head.

"Okay, actually it's enough." Dumbledore nodded. He didn't expect to get more information from Ivan. After all, judging from Ivan's appearance, he should be the most confused one.

"If you can, Ivan." Dumbledore looked at Ivan: "Go and see Severus, your black magic remains in his hands."

Alvin snorted softly: "I'll go right away..."

"Ah, yes, by the way -" Dumbledore seemed to remember something and said: "Because of the bad impact of the incident against the professor, Gryffindor will be deducted...one hundred points. Just like Like I said, Alvin, people have to pay for their mistakes."

"Uh-huh...I know..." Ivan curled his lips and turned to leave the principal's office.

After leaving the spiral staircase at the door of the principal's office with retching, the wall slowly split, Ivan saw Hermione waiting anxiously by the stone beast at the door.

"Are you okay, Alvin?" Hermione saw Alvin and said anxiously, "They won't fire you, right?"

"I hope I'll do better." Ivan rolled his eyes: "It's just a hundred points deducted."

"One hundred percent! Just?!" Hermione was stunned.

"Okay, let's not talk about that for now. Take me to the school hospital." Ivan said reluctantly: "I have to go and see Snape, otherwise his right hand will be useless."

Hermione walked in front of Alvin with a sullen face. She seemed to want to say something several times, but finally chose to shut up.

On the hospital bed in the school hospital, Snape was lying on the bed with his eyes blank.

He looked terrible at this time. His oily hair was messy and his face was pale, as if he had experienced a serious illness, and he was just lying on the bed with dull eyes.

When Alvin entered the room, he happened to catch up with Madam Pomfrey who had just changed his medicine.

"Mr. Darknight! What are you doing here?" Madam Pomfrey pinched Alvin when she saw him, and said angrily. She already knew who Snape became like this because of.

This also made her secretly frightened, and she didn't understand where Alvin learned such vicious black magic.

"Dumbledore asked me to take back the remaining black magic on his arm." Ivan spread his hands gently: "If you don't welcome me, then I'll leave?"

Madam Pomfrey paused for a moment and glared at him angrily: "Okay, as soon as possible, the patient needs to rest now."

"I know." Ivan said, looking at Snape lying on the bed.
