Chapter 71: Annie's Parting Gift
The next morning, it was not yet eight o'clock in the morning. Outside Hogwarts, in a clearing of ashes in the depths of the Forbidden Forest, Anne has already arranged the magic circle she needs to open the portal in this place!
Here, it was the territory that she burned down, the territory of the giant spider Aragog and his descendants! But now, there is no such thing as a spider's territory in the Forbidden Forest! This place has been renamed the Land of Ashes by the magical creatures of the Forbidden Forest, which means: a place burned by fire!
The reason why Annie chose this place to open the portal was mainly because it was quiet enough, the location was big enough, and no one would come here early in the morning to disturb her! After all, what she set up this time is a large-scale teleportation circle, and only this place is relatively remote and suitable! If it's done in school, she doesn't want a large group of people around to watch and make noise!
Besides, she didn't want to see the nasty atmosphere of the farewell! That would make her feel very uncomfortable! Just walk quietly by yourself! Just as she came quietly! So, why don't you say goodbye to them?
Anyway, it's not like I won't come back! This world has been imprinted and coordinates by Annie. In the future, maybe when she gets bored, she can still come back and have a look! After all, there is no strange uncle with a hammer chasing him for space gems in this world!
Now, in the middle of the magic circle, Anne has placed the most critical item: that space gem! It was spinning and floating in the middle of the circle right now, waiting for her to activate it! Annie can leave anytime! But before leaving, she seems to need to do one last thing!
Annie took out a small magic book with a red cover from her interspatial pocket, and there was a big flame gem inlaid on it! This is the magic book she used before she was eight years old! It records a lot of magic spells and spellcasting skills, of course, all kinds of weird ideas and annotations written by Anne back then are indispensable!
She no longer needs this book! So, Annie plans to give this book to her favorite young lady, Hermione! Just now, she has fixed a master recognition magic on it. Except for the young lady Hermione, other people can't understand anything written in Valoran characters! In addition, Anne has also attached several powerful protection and attack spells to the gem, and it will protect its new owner by itself if necessary!
Now the only thorny question for little Annie is how to send it to Miss Hermione? Do you want to use magic to throw it over with a "swoosh"? In that case, it seems too impolite!
Have! When Annie was at a loss, she suddenly saw two owls standing on the branches of a charred tree in the distance! One of them is snow-white, and the other is flower-colored! And it seems to be a male and a female? What are they doing here? Annie was a little confused, but forget it, Annie didn't want to care what they were doing!
"Hey! That white owl over there! Come and deliver something for me! What are you looking at! It's you! Come here!" Annie pointed at the white owl and shouted! Who made it look so conspicuous? So, this time the great task is entrusted to it! That's it!
Hedwig is Harry Potter's pet. It is a pure snowy owl covered in white and transparent. It looks very beautiful! During the summer vacation, it was kept in a cage for two whole months, eating, drinking and scrambling in the cage! Almost suffocated it at the time!
Now, after finally returning to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft and Wizardry, all owls can be released 24 hours a day, and finally have their own free time! Of course it won't just stay in the owl shed foolishly! Anyway, his master Harry didn't need it to send anything!
No, it seduced a female wild owl with its beautiful appearance, and the two of them are cultivating their relationship here now,
Ready to have an in-depth discussion on the philosophy of bird life and the mystery of reproduction!
But I didn't want to, suddenly being ruined by a little witch! The wild female owl was startled away by her yelling! Hedwig yelled at Annie angrily, then turned her head and looked away, not wanting to pay attention to that little human kid!
"Hmph!" Seeing that the owl dared to ignore her, Annie raised her hand and a fireball directly burned another tree in the distance to ashes. owl.
"Help me deliver this book to Hermione Granger at Hogwarts right now! Otherwise! Humph! That tree is your example! Don't try to play dumb! I know you owls can Can understand human speech!"
Although very reluctant, Hedwig still flew to Annie and grabbed the magic book! This little girl is so cruel! If you don't move, you will set fire to the big tree! Hedwig decided, she has a lot of big birds, so don't try to learn from her!
Isn't it just sending a broken book! For Hedwig, this should not be too simple! It Hedwig is a good and helpful bird! A role model in the owl world! The handsome guy in the wizarding world! Not to mention only one book now, even ten books are not a problem!
"By the way! I almost forgot to mention it just now! I also cast magic on the book! If you can't deliver it to its new owner as soon as possible, then you will die!" Annie He yelled maliciously at the white owl flying some distance away.
Ouch! I go! Hearing this, Hedwig staggered in fright and almost fell from the sky! It was really thinking just now, when it gets near the school castle, the little girl will definitely be able to do nothing to it! It must throw this broken book into the great lake!
It seems that it is absolutely impossible to do this now! For the sake of her own life, Hedwig felt that it is better to send the book over quickly! This human wizard, little ghost, thief, thief, and thief is fine! Who knows what she has left behind? Why don't you fight her? After all, she can set fire!
Seeing that the white owl began to speed up and fly straight towards the school, Annie nodded in satisfaction. This stupid bird should not dare to be a monster anymore, right? very good! Otherwise, it will definitely regret it!
Then, Annie exhaled! She started to turn around and walk towards the middle of the circle, she is now ready for everything! It's just that she still doesn't know whether the road ahead is home? Or somewhere else?
...
The next day, Dumbledore woke up from his sleep with dim eyes. The sun had already shone from the window onto the edge of his dirty bed. It seemed that it had been dawn for a long time. When he put on his reading glasses and looked at the wall The magic clock on the phone, sure enough, it is already past ten o'clock in the morning!
Generally speaking, the elderly will sleep shorter, even if they go to bed late, they will wake up earlier! However, Dumbledore was a little too tired last night. He had been busy until late at night before he could barely finish transcribing the Meditation Technique. Afterwards, he spent a little more time appending some of his experiences and conclusions. , That's why I was delayed for such a long period of time, and I was busy until late at night before I was able to fall asleep!
In Dumbledore's eyes, all of this was worth it! Looking at the rolls of thick parchment on the bedside, he smiled triumphantly. He could already see that the glorious era of the wizarding world was coming! And the founder of this era, without a doubt, is himself! Not too! Anyway, he has the final say! This honor cannot be taken away by others!
He can now foresee that in the distant future, Dumbledore will definitely leave a thick chapter in the history of magic! What a great honor and achievement this will be! Magic originated from Merlin! And what carried forward and created a glorious era belonged to him: Dumbledore!
Dumbledore took a long breath, and continued to lie on the bed crookedly, thinking about everything in front of him: He is very old now, and he already has everything he should have, whether it is rights or status ! And wealth, he dismisses it!
He, Dumbledore, was about to meet Merlin, so why did he need so many Galleons? Is it for future generations? Where did he come from? Isn't the extra money cheaper for outsiders in the end? Therefore, instead of this, it is better to spend as much as you have, and spend it all down!
Then, only fame and honor and the like can attract him. Although in the past few years, in order to deal with little Tom, that Voldemort, he formed the Order of the Phoenix and fought against it in many ways, which accumulated a lot of prestige for him, but it was not enough! And those multiple uses of dragon blood are not worth mentioning! Those were all incidentals when he changed his ways to make money back then!
But now it is different, touching the rolls of heavy parchment in his hand, he also signed his long official name on it: Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore profitable!
Right now, he feels that everything he has done is worth it! As long as you carefully select some students who pass the test of heart and mind and pass it on, then, in a few years, dozens or even hundreds of great wizards as strong as yourself will emerge in the magic world! Moreover, as long as Hogwarts is still cultivating students and continuing to teach, these numbers will continue to grow! In this way, the glory of the wizarding age must be just around the corner!
When Dumbledore was preparing and carefully deliberating some specific operation methods and precautions when spreading, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Minerva? What happened? Why are you in such a hurry? Could it be that the basilisk attacked the students again?"
Dumbledore, who opened the door only in his pajamas, found out that the person outside was Professor McGonagall. He couldn't help being a little surprised. What made her so anxious? He himself just fell asleep in a good mood, why did something big happen again?
"It's indeed a basilisk! But, Dumbledore! This time it's good news! It's really good news!" Professor McGonagall said happily. dissipated. "It's Professor Annie! Annie killed that basilisk! And saved a student!"
"That's it...you wait for a while, I'll go change clothes." Dumbledore thought for a while, and felt that he should go and see what happened right away. So he asked Professor McGonagall to wait outside the door, and he hurried back and changed into his robe.
When Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall rushed to the secret room in the sewer, they saw only a pair of huge blackened snake bones lying in the small pool, and a group of professors were watching.
And that Lockhart who likes farts is standing beside the snake bones and a pair of giant snake sloughs he found from no one knows where, directing another person with a camera to take pictures of him desperately.
Ginny, the little girl in the Weasley family, was sitting on the ground crying softly, and her brothers were comforting her.
"What's going on here, Severus?" Dumbledore asked Snape, who was standing aside.
"You'd better ask her yourself!"
Snape had only just arrived, and he only knew a little about this matter, so he signaled the headmaster to ask Ginny, who was squatting aside and crying, by himself.
He was more interested in this Slytherin Chamber of Secrets now! Could there be something still hidden here? Is it a precious ancient book? Or super powerful spells? Are these things still there? Snape needs to take some time to study it carefully, after all, this is the secret room of the founder Slytherin! It's impossible to just raise a basilisk, right?
"Ginny? Can you tell me what's going on here?"
"Okay, woohoo~! Professor Dumbledore, this is what happened..., woohoo." Ginny sobbed, explaining what happened intermittently.
After Ginny woke up this morning, she found herself alone in this secret room. The basilisk and the weirdo in the notebook seemed to be dead! Then she handed the principal the letter that Professor Anne left before she left, and the culprit's notebook!
It turned out that Ginny was controlled by Tom Riddle! Hearing this name, the faces of the surrounding professors also became a little ugly! Because they knew that name, it was used by the mysterious man when he was a student! He actually came back again? Merlin's beard! It was the same last year! Come this year?
Sure enough! In fact, Dumbledore has always been a little incredible that Ginny Weasley can manipulate the basilisk! After all, how could a Gryffindor student command a Slytherin pet? That Slytherin was an extremist!
Now that I understand the whole story, it all finally makes sense! This notebook should be Tom Riddle's Horcrux, right? Horcrux... Dumbledore remembered, it seemed to be such a word! So he quickly put it away, he needs to treat this matter with caution! Go back and do some research!
Only then did he have time to open Anne's left letter, and saw that it was written in the childish handwriting of a little girl:
Dear Headmaster Dumbledore (old man, crossed out and changed to Mr.):
By the time you read this letter, I've already opened the portal and gone home!
Because the London Minister of Magic has given me all the materials! However, he also entrusted me to kill the harmful basilisk before leaving, so I did so, I hope you will not be angry!
By the way, I have already burned that lich named Tom and the soul fragments in his notebook, you must remember to thank me! Goodbye! If I have time in the future, I may still come back to see you!
——Professor Anne Harstad, who loves you
