Chapter 245 243 Conversation with Dumbledore

The result of Harry being admitted to the campus hospital was a rare calm in Hogwarts. Because Gryffindor lost the Quidditch game and was worried about the twins and Harry, their mood was not high. When Letlin was sarcastic, he actually chose to ignore it.

As we all know, in Hogwarts, as long as Gryffindor and Slytherin can't fight, there will be no chaos in Hogwarts.

In fact, this is also true. Until the day before the year-end party, Slytherin and Gryffindor did not fight. You know, these two houses have Draco and Ron, enemies this year. Usually, Draco only needs to tease them a little bit. At first Ron would attack him as if he had no IQ, and then be punished. However, in the past two days, Ron seemed to have suddenly become smarter. Faced with Draco's various provocations, Ron did not react at all. He is strong, and the breeze blows on the hills.

"The Weasley twins, you told them about this, right?"

In fact, on the second day after Harry entered the school hospital, Dumbledore found Finny and asked this sentence at the beginning,

Feeney was not timid, nodded and said,

"That's right, but as originally agreed, they should go there this morning to experience the traps and tests that the professors set for Harry. After all, you know how much George and Fred like to take risks, Professor, it's better to block things than to block them. , who knew they guessed that Ron would go on an adventure with Harry,"

Dumbledore was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then sighed and said,

"If I had gone a little later last night, all three of them would have been in danger,"

Then he slowly told what happened the night before,

Just like in the original work, Harry still got the fake Philosopher's Stone hidden by Dumbledore from the Mirror of Erised.

Yes, that stone was a prop to lure the mysterious man from the beginning, and it was also a tool to test Harry's character.

Even if everything develops according to Dumbledore's plan, he will not put the real Sorcerer's Stone there, because if an accident occurs, the mysterious man may return at this time, which he will not accept from the beginning. matter.

The mysterious man realizes that Harry has the Philosopher's Stone, and the battle begins,

Originally, Quirrell's attack on Harry triggered the magic left by Lily. As long as he continued, Harry would be able to defeat Quirrell.

However, it was at this time that Ron and Neville were found, and they learned that Harry was facing the Dark Lord alone. The twins with an overwhelming sense of justice and courage appeared.

One of them pushed Quirrell away from Harry, and the other tried to get Harry to leave quickly.

Then the man who pushed Quirrell, Fred, was caught,

Quirrell used him as a hostage and as a means to blackmail Harry into surrendering.

Just when Harry was confused and wanted to hand over the Philosopher's Stone in exchange for Fred, George rushed forward. Both he and Fred knew that the Philosopher's Stone was hidden here, but they didn't know that it was a fake.

From Feeney, they also knew what would happen if the mysterious man got the Philosopher's Stone, so they would rather give up their lives than something like that happen, so he rushed forward,

He plans to live and die together with his brothers.

Harry, a child who was full of courage and hope but had no brains, naturally rushed forward without thinking. As a result, the four of them got into a fight.

When he heard that the matter had developed to this point, there was a black line on Feeney's head, and he was also very confused.

Not to mention that the twins and Harry were still children, and they might not be able to think of using magic in such a crisis. Quirrell and the mysterious man, both of them had rich combat experience, how could they give up magic in such a situation? Convenient conditions, choose melee combat that wizards are least good at?

In short, because of Harry's body's restraint on the mysterious man, although the three children suffered some injuries, they still defeated Quirrell. After watching Quirrell turn into a ball of ashes, the three of them fell into a coma.

And Dumbledore, who had just arrived just in time to see the bizarre scene of three people besieging Quirrell, also came out of hiding and took the three people to the school doctor's office at Hogwarts for examination and treatment.

This resulted in Harry, who in the original work only suffered a soul shock and fell into a coma, into a situation where he suffered numerous physical injuries and fell into a coma.

"I must train the twins and Harry well later. As a wizard, you can't even think of picking up the wand when facing the enemy. It's really..."

Feeney complained speechlessly,

Dumbledore nodded in agreement. God knows how shocked and speechless he was last night when he saw his highly optimistic savior Harry and the Weasley family's mischievous twins punch Quirrell in the shell.

It was like putting a long-awaited pastry in your mouth and then realizing it was actually a piece of Ollie, still fresh.

Feeney saw Dumbledore nodding and said smoothly,

"So, Professor, is it possible for Harry to stay with me and Sirius during the holidays?"

If Harry could spend the holidays at Black's house, then Sirius would definitely spend a lot of time with Harry, or all the time,

That way, many of the things Feeny has to do will be much easier.

Moreover, he had not yet thought about how to live with Sirius and spend a few months vacation,

You must know that it was more than two months of vacation. He really didn't want to play the role of good brother or younger brother with Sirius. After all, they hadn't been in contact with each other for more than ten years, and now they were just acquaintances.

Although Sirius had repeatedly expressed his willingness to do many things for Feeney, Feeney still felt awkward.

Dumbledore shook his head and said,

"Finney, you should know very well what the curse on Harry is. In the end, it was just an accident."

Finny interrupted Dumbledore.

"Professor, I don't think it was an accident. Although it does look like an accident. After all, it was the result of three people's lives and multiple magics. However, based on Senior Lily's talent in magic, we can definitely think that, That was a backup method that she and James Potter planned in advance. When the mysterious man appeared in their house, they made all preparations, sacrifices, and preparations to protect Harry. "

Dumbledore paused, sighed and said,

"Maybe that's true, but obviously they also overlooked something, otherwise Tom's soul wouldn't appear on Harry. Okay, let's go back to your suggestion just now. You also know that the protection on Harry's body Magic is formed by blood. After he was brought out of the ruins by Hagrid, I cast a magic on him and his aunt's family. This magic can absorb energy from the blood and maintain its original state until he is sixteen. You will not be harmed by black magic when you are older,,,"

Finny knew what Dumbledore meant very well and said,

"But, Professor, according to my observation, Harry's magic only requires him to stay at his aunt's house for about a week every year. Wouldn't it be nice to leave the rest of the time to Sirius and me? At least. The house we live in is protected by the Loyalty Charm, and that magic was cast by you, the professor."

Dumbledore rolled his eyes, obviously thinking about the pros and cons of this matter.

Feeney didn't rush him, he just sat quietly at his desk, eating the desserts and black tea prepared by the house elves at Hogwarts for Dumbledore, especially the pile of cockroaches here, which was obvious to Feeney. The candy company was specially developed for Dumbledore. Because the output was limited, even he didn't have much.

After a moment, Dumbledore looked at Finny and asked,

"Finney, what do you think if I invite Sirius to come to Hogwarts to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?"

Feeney was stunned for a moment, then said,

"Very good, but, Professor, I will definitely remind Sirius to resign before the end of the semester. You also know the problem with this position. Although it is not a curse, it is just a grievance, but there is no way to break it, right?"

Dumbledore nodded and said,

"You are right, I originally planned to invite another person to take this position,"

Feeney thought of the liar professor in the original book, who also existed and taught Harry not to just take things at face value, although Harry did not remember this lesson.

However, Feeney couldn't show in front of Dumbledore that he already knew who the original candidate was, so he still asked,

"Then who was the original candidate, Professor?"

"Gilderoy Lockhart is also a student who graduated from Hogwarts and Ravenclaw House. He is now a famous adventurer and writer in the wizarding world. He has published many books. Well, let me take a look. His His works include "Breaking with the Ghost", "Walking with Ghouls", "Gilderoy Lockhart Teaches You How to Get Rid of Pests from Home", "Holiday with a Dominatrix", "Magical Me" and "Walking with Trolls" "Traveling with a Vampire", "Wandering with a Werewolf", "A Year with the XZ Snowman", oh, he is also an Order of Merlin Level 3, an honorary member of the Defense League against Dark Arts, and has won the "Wizard Weekly" award five times. Pretty good candidate for the Charming Smile Award, right?”

When he said this, Feeney clearly noticed that the smile on Dumbledore's face was not a satisfied smile, but a teasing one, an expression of watching a play.

Judging from the situation in the original work, Feeney does not believe that Dumbledore would not know that this is a liar. Now it seems that Dumbledore is more like a man who deliberately invited this liar to Hogwarts to spread the controversy. Disturbed.

Maybe I also have the idea of ​​​​making do with it,

After all, due to the curse of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts being either injured or hospitalized, Dumbledore has invited all the wizards in the entire wizarding world who can hold this position. Even those who have not held this position until now have , and would not easily agree to come here to take up this position.

Not to mention, the news that last year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Sakaski Ridge, was killed by a young wizard at Hogwarts was widely circulated in the wizarding world.

Lockhart's ability to agree to this invitation may be a reason for Dumbledore to choose him, or in other words, he had no choice.

Of course, now that Sirius exists, Dumbledore sees another option, and will naturally choose Sirius instead of the liar.

Feeney smiled and said,

"Professor, this is a liar. As far as I know, the wizard who killed the werewolf and used the werewolf restoration spell was not him,"

"oh?"

"Professor, you know that I have a large number of werewolves under my command, so when I learned about the werewolf restoration incident, I began to investigate in many ways and finally found the short wizard with a big beard who looked like a dwarf. However, he had long lost his memory and remembered nothing, let alone the werewolf restoration spell. After the book came out, our people found Lockhart, and through the truth serum we also learned that he was a liar, but he just didn't reveal it."

Dumbledore nodded and said,

"Indeed, but in order to write these books, he did have some of these things. Although he is fake, the stories in the books are true, and those descriptions and introductions to the spells are also true, aren't they?"

Finny sighed and said,

"Okay, I will talk to Sirius, so professor, is this a condition, a condition for Harry to spend this holiday with us?"

Dumbledore nodded and said said,

"Of course, but the premise is that Harry spends a week at his aunt's house,"

Finny nodded,

"So does the professor have anything else to do? No, I'm going to the hospital to see Harry, George, Fred and the others."

Dumbledore said,

"They haven't woken up yet. I'll tell you when they wake up. Now, I think you might want to watch the Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw this afternoon,"

Finny shrugged,

"Professor, you know I'm not interested in this sport,"

Dumbledore said meaningfully with deep eyes,

"You should go and have a look. After all, I think you went through a lot last night. The siege of the eight-eyed giant spider is very exhausting. You need to relax now."

Finny's eyes condensed and his heart trembled. It seems that Dumbledore knew something about last night, but he didn't know how much he knew.

Is it all, or just the part where he hunted the eight-eyed giant spider in the Forbidden Forest?

I hope it's not all. After all, the basilisk has other uses. Speaking of which, I hope that Puff and the others have almost finished their work, and I still want to take Basque away safely before the holiday of this semester.

As for the contract to protect Hogwarts, with Finny here, there will be no big problems. If there is a problem, Finny can bring Basque back. This is better than the ending in the original book where Basque was killed by Harry.

Even if I can get the diary,

Finny can't guarantee that Dumbledore will not use Basque as a tool to train and test Harry.
