Chapter 301 Listen to the portrait tell the story of the past

"Professor Neopher Fitzgerald?"

Many principals looked at the portrait of the vice principal named by Adam.

Obviously, the principal who had been away from Hogwarts for a long time suddenly returned to the principal's office to look for them. He couldn't possibly miss them. Something important must have happened.

And now that he mentioned ancient magic and suddenly focused on a specific principal, there must be his reasons.

so……

"Niopher, what happened?"

Professor Fitzgerald's headmaster when he was a student at Hogwarts couldn't help but ask.

"Ancient magic... Before I explain, can you ask Professor Reed to tell me where you learned about the existence of ancient magic?"

Professor Fitzgerald did not answer directly, but looked at Adam curiously:

"There are very few wizards who have the talent to touch this ancient and powerful power. Even when ancient magic was at its most prosperous, there were no more than ten wizards in the UK who could use this power. In modern times, there are only a few wizards with such talent. There are even fewer people, and even the relevant records were almost completely destroyed due to an accident.”

"Is that accident related to goblins?"

Adam also didn't answer, but responded with a question.

Seeing Professor Fitzgerald's shocked expression, Adam knew that he had guessed correctly. Professor Fitzgerald might have been the witness to that incident.

So Adam began to talk about how he learned about the existence of ancient magic:

"Following the Death Eater trials, the Ministry of Magic made a complaint to Gringotts regarding the fines imposed on the Death Eaters..."

From the Ministry of Magic's notice to Gringotts to the resistance of Gringotts and the Ministry of Magic's attack on Gringotts, to Adam searching the memories of the goblins because of their strange weapons, Adam explained it in great detail.

Professor Dumbledore frowned when he heard Adam searching the memories of the goblins, but he regained his composure after thinking about what the goblins had done.

And when they heard the part at the end about the huge ancient magical energy under Hogwarts, all the principals couldn't sit still.

WTF? Is there a big bomb underneath Hogwarts? Why don't they know?

This mood can be said to be exactly the same as Adam's at the beginning.

"Niopher, is that true?"

The principal, Professor Fitzgerald, couldn't help but look at her again.

"The power sealed underground in Hogwarts... does exist, and I was one of the first people to seal those powers underground in Hogwarts. I was already the principal of Hogwarts at that time."

Professor Fitzgerald's expression was a little complicated.

But at this time, the principal who knew something about ancient magic couldn't help but speak:

"But as far as we know, ancient magic, although powerful, does not have such unstable characteristics."

"That's right, so I need to explain that that power is not the energy of ancient magic, but a derivative created by ancient magic... It's my fault for not fulfilling the responsibility of a professor."

Professor Fitzgerald sighed and told the story. The little girl named Isidora Morgana was discovered by them to have the talent of ancient magic. However, as she grew up, she became more and more extreme and eventually became a Wrong path...

After Professor Fitzgerald finished speaking, the principals fell silent one by one. The principals of Hogwarts (except Professor Black) have always been responsible for teaching and educating people, and they cannot allow such good talents to go astray. story.

"But...in this story, the role of goblins seems a bit too low?"

At this moment, Adam spoke:

"Did the goblin just create a container for that power and not know the specific situation? In my impression, there seems to be a goblin named Lanlock who even dug through Hogwarts for the power underground. Underground in Watts.”

Principals:? ? ?

"Indeed, it was true, but that was after my death. At that time, the four deans and I had left portraits and some preparation measures to prevent those powers from being discovered by others."

Professor Fitzgerald said quietly:

"Later... the Lanlock you mentioned found clues through the notes of the original goblin craftsman, and became coveted for that power. We guided a former Hogwarts student to protect the power underneath, and The seal was updated, if you think about it carefully... it seems like it was a hundred years ago, right?"

A hundred years ago?

Finally, there was an exact point in time. Everyone recalled in their hearts that the principal of Hogwarts at that time was...Professor Black?

Adam looked at Professor Black, who was still frowning and cracking his fingers.

The smart principals also noticed Adam's actions, and they copied the answers directly and looked at Professor Black.

During his tenure, such a big thing happened in Hogwarts. Judging from the other party's behavior just now... the other party seems to have no idea about this?

Professor Black was the quickest to think that the principal at that time was him. After being stunned for a moment, his face darkened:

"Impossible, what kind of goblin, what kind of underground energy, when I was in power...wait, Lanlock?"

Professor Black scratched his white beard and whispered:

"I do seem to have an impression of this name. At that time, there were rumors that the goblins were trying to start a rebellion, and the leader seemed to be Lanlock? But the rumors disappeared not long after... I thought it was another gimmick compiled by the Daily Prophet. "

Hearing this, everyone's eyes became more subtle.

"What are you looking at? I didn't really like this profession back then, so it's normal even if there are some omissions, right?"

Facing the strange looks of many colleagues, Professor Black said angrily.

"This is not an ordinary omission, Phineas."

The only person who can call Professor Black that way is his school principal, but then Professor Fitzgerald spoke up to help this unlucky colleague and junior:

"This can't actually be blamed on Professor Black. After all, the situation was urgent at the time, and I asked the student to keep it secret..."

"By the way, Professor Fitzgerald, I wonder if you are still in contact with that student now?"

Adam looked at Professor Fitzgerald's portrait curiously.

Calculating the time, the other party's age seems to be a few years different from Professor Dumbledore. Since the other party is a strong man who can master ancient magic, his life span should not be shorter than Professor Dumbledore. You know, ancient magic can even do such abstract things as extracting and storing negative emotions.

In other words, the other party is probably still alive now!

"This..."

Professor Fitzgerald showed some embarrassment on his face:

"When we left behind to open the underground road for that student, the mission was completely over. After all, we only left a few portraits, which could not help him in the battle against Lanlock, so I haven't seen him since then."

"Is that so..."

Adam felt a little regretful. If he could contact the other party, Hogwarts would have another powerful general. According to the information currently known, the other party seems to be a genius and strong man who is not inferior to Professor Dumbledore and others.

Eh? Wait, Professor Dumbledore!

Adam's eyes lit up. There are many Dumbledoes in Hogwarts now. Since the other party cannot be contacted now, it is better...
