A day at Hogwarts

McGonagall didn't leave after Charles left with the Time-Turner, and it looked like she had something to say to Dumbledore.

After rejecting Dumbledore's yet another recommendation of flying cockroach piles, she asked, "Are you being too... pampered by Charles?"

McGonagall finally thought of this word to describe it.

Dumbledore grabbed a flying cockroach and ate it, and said while eating: "In the missing years a hundred years ago, although no one who is still alive can remember any specific major events, I vaguely remember It had something to do with goblins, and was finally solved by a Hogwarts student whose name has disappeared."

"Later, Grindelwald appeared. You should have heard my story at that time."

"Not many years later, Voldemort came."

(McGonagall shudders slightly.)

"We are not young anymore, this world has always been full of dangers, who knows what kind of dangers will appear in the future, maybe there are aliens?"

(McGonagall: "Stop playing Muggle games!")

"I'm afraid that at that time, the little bird would sing on my tombstone every day."

"I seriously thought about it many years ago, whether it is possible to train some talented young people to stand up bravely when danger comes in the future."

"Charles is a very talented kid, I want to push him, and I'm worried that he will go down a path that we don't want to see."

Mag understood what he meant, nodded slightly, and asked, "Are you worried that he will be like Eleanor?"

McGonagall feels that Charles will not go the way of Grindelwald and Voldemort, but another person who is close to him is different.

"Eleanor..." Dumbledore smiled wryly, "Recently, I vaguely feel that she is right."

McGonagall looked at Dumbledore in disbelief, and said, "She has been testing the bottom line of the Ministry of Magic since she entered school!"

"Let her try." Dumbledore said to McGonagall, "Let him try his own ideas, while we can still control the general direction."

"I once talked to Jack about the life of a wizard. I wanted him to know more about us and not be afraid of Charles."

"Later Jack asked me a question, why in the last hundred years, Muggles have developed faster than us."

"When I went to other magic schools to promote unicorn tail hair and acromantus venom, I learned from chatting with the principals that more and more young people have similar questions in schools in recent years."

McGonagall asked worriedly, "What about the International Statute of Secrecy?"

Dumbledore looked at her quietly for a while, and said calmly: "If the International Statute of Secrecy brought tragedy, you would have hated it."

Mag felt his heart was stabbed several times by a blunt dagger. If it weren't for the "International Statute of Secrecy", he would have accepted his boyfriend's marriage proposal at the age of eighteen instead of both of them being injured .

Dumbledore said slowly: "Not long ago, an old friend told me that times have changed, and everything will change with it."

"Every change of the times will be accompanied by violent turmoil. I can say with a cheeky face that my reputation and wisdom can still avoid or reduce some losses. There are some things that are suitable for those of us who are about to die, so that young people can go with confidence. own way."

McGonagall suddenly ignored the "International Statute of Secrecy" and asked her best friend nervously: "Albus, do you feel unwell? Do you want to go to St. Mungo's Hospital or call a therapist?" ?”

She found that what Dumbledore said tonight was a bit like arranging the funeral, and worried if she had a premonition.

Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, and after realizing it, he smiled and shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Minerva. I'm fine, I'm in good health, and I can eat several steaks every day."

"I just see young people doing simulated Quidditch, and I feel a little bit old."

Mag thought that he would not lie to himself about this kind of thing, and he was relieved.

Dumbledore finally said: "It's getting late, it's time for me to have a drink before bed."

"Recently, I've been thinking about some things about Hogwarts education. When we come back from exploring the hot cave, I want to have a good talk with you."

When it came to work, Professor McGonagall became serious: "What is it about?"

Dumbledore smiled and said, "About burdening the professors and students."

Professor McGonagall suddenly felt something was wrong.

While Dumbledore was talking to Professor McGonagall, Charles came to the room Dumbledore had assigned to him.

There is also an oil painting outside the door of this room, which shows a young lady swinging in the spring sunshine.

Charles chatted with her for ten minutes, but failed to persuade her to perform a swing.

The size of the room is not small, and it is empty inside. There is a piece of parchment nailed behind the door, on which is the magic spell for decorating the room.

After a round of research, Charles found it to be pretty good. The spell is quite simple, a bit like the Transfiguration Charm. You can arrange the room as you like, and you can also make furniture.

He thought about it, and found four single rooms with private bathrooms, plus a gym with a bathroom and a spell practice room.

The four single rooms have different functions, one is for reading books, one is for studying magic oil paintings, one is for doing homework and studying spells, and the other is for entertainment.

Thanks to the magic, the gym and the spell practice room are fully equipped, so there is no need to prepare anything else.

According to his plan, he went back to the previous four days in the evening of each natural day, doing one thing every day, and changing to the next room the next day. Study and research for a few hours every day, stagger the time to exercise and practice magic spells for two hours, and finally take a day off and go back to the dormitory to ensure good health.

Meals are no problem, and house elves deliver them every day.

When the time comes, everyone will be doing their own thing here without disturbing each other, just thinking about it seems a bit scary, if we meet each other, I don't know if it will be embarrassing.

Charles came to the homework room, wrote the schedule, and nailed it behind the door, so as not to forget it when the time came.

Then he took out the time converter, went back to a few hours ago, went to Dumbledore's office to borrow the phoenix, and had to send himself a small note later.

After sending the note away, Charles wandered around the castle again, reckoning that he had already used the time-turner to borrow the phoenix before returning to the dormitory.

The next night, he came to the room where he was doing his homework, and then went back to 24 hours ago, just two minutes after he borrowed the Phoenix.

He fell asleep after taking a shower that day. What happened just now was a headache.

Charles didn't expect it, because he didn't go to the dueling club, Dumbledore arranged for himself an extra magic combat remedial class.

And it was Professor Quirrell who gave me extra lessons.
