If there is anyone at Hogwarts who is both free and busy, it must be our Headmaster Dumbledore. He said that he was free because he didn't have to teach the students, and he didn't have to correct the students' homework. He is busy because Dumbledore is not only the headmaster of Hogwarts, he also has a lot of things outside of school to deal with.

Dumbledore is more of a spiritual symbol, a symbol at Hogwarts. It seems Hogwarts is complete without Dumbledore's Hogwarts. But our headmaster often goes out and leaves all the big and small things in the school to the deputy headmaster, Professor McGonagall.

And tonight, well, this expression is not accurate, because it is already past midnight, it should be morning. Dumbledore finally had time for his usual questioning after finishing his work in the headmaster's office.

"So, which students need our attention this year?" Dumbledore leaned back in his high chair and looked at the Sorting Hat on the top of the bookshelf on the right—a clean Sorting Hat.

"It's the same every year, nothing worth noting."

"Oh? Harry Potter and the Selwyn boy aren't worth noting?" Dumbledore pushed back his chair and stood up.

"It's nothing worth noting. If I really want to say it, that kid Potter doesn't seem to have a good impression of Slytherin. When he was sorting, he kept saying 'no Slytherin'. It was obviously the most suitable place for him. The Sorting Hat writhed dissatisfiedly on the bookshelf." As for the Selwyn boy you mentioned, he chose Slytherin himself, but I think Ravenclaw is more suitable for him. And I can be sure that kid has practiced Occlumency, although it's the same as not in front of me. "

"Oh? Occlumency? That's not surprising. He studied in Schuyler for six years before coming to Hogwarts. In order to fight against the Cruciatus and Imperius Curse, the children there are more or less in Occlumency There will be some results in surgery." Dumbledore walked up to his pet, Fawkes, and stroked its feathers gently.

"That's nothing to pay attention to. After all, I have seen too many little wizards in the millennium, gifted, untalented, smart, and stupid. I think it is very difficult to meet in A little wizard who is 'notable' in my opinion." The Sorting Hat stopped moving after speaking.

"By the way, I forgot to mention it."

kindness? Did the Sorting Hat notice something unusual? Dumbledore turned and looked up at the Sorting Hat.

"For thousands of years, none of the previous principals has ever thought of cleaning me up." The Sorting Hat shook its tip, "I still have to rely on a little wizard to re-experience this refreshing feeling, you have to help me thank you he."

The headmaster looked at the motionless Sorting Hat speechlessly.

Then Dumbledore seemed to sense something, and sat back behind the Headmaster's desk. Watching the door and waiting.

The door of the principal's room was pushed open, and a mass of black floated in and closed the door behind him.

"Ah, Severus, here you come."

Snape looked at Dumbledore without saying a word - whoever was woken up in their sleep would be upset. Not to mention that Snape wasn't happy with Dumbledore in the first place.

"What's the result of your house's 'tradition' this year?" Dumbledore asked Snape straight to the point. Nothing sloppy.

"Lucius' son is a new prefect this year." Snape was expressionless.

Dumbledore looked surprised.

"Yeah, it's a little different than I thought." Dumbledore frowned thoughtfully.

"But Draco gave up the single room that belonged to the prefects." Snape's gasping was definitely out of revenge for Dumbledore waking him up late at night.

"A Selwyn child?"

Snape nodded, but said nothing.

"What about the process?"

"Draco didn't make a move the whole time, the others were defeated by Selwyn." Snape moved his body, "He didn't say a single spell during the whole process."

"Silent spells...that's beyond my expectation." Dumbledore stood up, "I'm sure that boy Solim can defeat other little wizards, but silent spells... what he uses Magic? Severus."

"Shock and impediment spells." Snape saw Dumbledore take the Pensieve from the cupboard.

"What? You want to see my memory again?" There was an expected sarcasm on Snape's face.

"I just want to get to know the kid, Severus, and I just want to make sure..."

"What can a child do?" Snape interrupted Dumbledore roughly. "Instead of being suspicious of a little wizard, why not investigate someone who is more suspicious?

"Professor Quirrell is the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor hired by the school, Severus." Dumbledore put the Pensieve on its dedicated shelf and set it up.

"Why let such an unknown person become a professor! Headmaster? I applied so many times and you refused, but you agreed to an unknown person?" Snape took a step forward and questioned Dumbledore.

"Quirinus is no unknown, Severus." Dumbledore said, looking at Snape. "He also graduated from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

"You know I sat next to him at the dinner party, and he smells like he's definitely not a decent guy." Snape seemed determined to speak up.

"I promised you to protect Lily's son, and you turned a blind eye to the danger in front of you!" Snape growled.

"No, I'm not blind to the danger in front of me. Severus, sometimes too much attention is paid to the danger in front of us and we ignore the real danger." Dumbledore beckoned for Snape to go over. "And before we discuss the danger, Severus, I wish to see."

Snape took a deep look at Dumbledore, took out his wand, pulled a memory from his temple and dropped it into the Pensieve.

"Come on, Severus, let's see." Whether Snape agreed or not, Dumbledore grabbed his arm.

—————————

"Did no one strike first? Since you're all so humble, I'm going to take it easy." With that, Solim started waving his wand. There were only three girls in Slytherin's freshmen this year, and these three girls were pushed out of the circle by Solim's gentle impediment spell in the first place.

"Very skilled blocking spell." Dumbledore's eyes were fixed on Solim. Snape was standing next to him, and it seemed Snape had been dragged into his own memory by Dumbledore anyway.

At this time, some little wizards finally reacted, and they began to attack Solim with their wands. After all, it seemed that Solim was very powerful, so we should deal with him first—the rest of the little wizards thought so.

Solim pulled Draco to avoid a leg-locking spell, and flipping his hand was a shock spell that knocked away a little wizard who was about to cast a spell. Then he grabbed Draco and tripped him with his legs - the young master just stood there stupidly, if he was hit, Solim's single room probably couldn't escape, but the prefect also ran It won't drop.

When Draco was still lying on the ground in a daze, Solim used a counter-curse to dispel the spell of a little wizard, seized the right moment, and swiped his left hand with the stick from left to right: an invisible wall closed the circle. The little wizard was all pushed out - except him and Draco who just got up.

"Done!" Solim waved his wand-free right hand as he walked out of the circle. "Don't forget, Draco."

"Crack!" Everyone in Snape's memory seemed to have been hit by a pause button - they froze.

Dumbledore lowered his hand and came to Solim's right hand.

"Severus, do you see this?" Dumbledore asked, pointing to the ring on Solim's right hand.

"A ring," Snape replied honestly, "and I noticed he was still wearing clothes and, um, a pair of shoes on his feet." Snape sneered.

"What does a ring mean? It's dangerous?"

Dumbledore ignored Snape's sarcasm, but looked carefully at the ring on Solim's hand. After looking at the ring, he looked at the wand Solim held in his left hand.

"Okay, Severus, I think we can go back."

The principal's room.

Snape looked at Dumbledore with folded arms, waiting for him to explain to himself.

"Maybe it's a ring to you, but I know it's a wand. Severus, a wand." Dumbledore sat back in his chair.

"What does this mean?"

"That was no ordinary wand. I found it when... I traveled the world with... and it was returned to the family that really owned it."

"Selwyn."

"Yes, Selwyn."

"Then what does this mean? That child is also a Selwyn."

"It's different, Solim is an illegitimate son, he is not entitled to the right to a wand from within the family." Dumbledore shook his head. Started explaining to Snape.

Old pureblood families can accumulate amazing wealth over a long period of time. These wealth will be passed down from generation to generation, even if the descendants are unfilial, squandering the golden Galleons, squandering precious potions and alchemy materials. But something like a wand is rarely consumed - even if it changes hands many times. Too many magical creatures and magical trees have died out in the long river of time, but the wands made of them will not. These wands, composed of powerful creatures and wood, were far more powerful than current wands. Only those pure-blood families with enough heritage can preserve some ancient wands.

"Why do you think a bastard would get one of those wands that aren't enough for the direct line of the family?" Dumbledore asked Snape. "And the wand he just used was the one from Garrick's shop, and the kid was carrying two wands, Severus, why do you think so?"

"I suggest you ask him yourself." Snape was unimpressed.

"I recognized the ring and gave it back to the family that lost it, and Selwyn donated it to the school as a thank you." Dumbledore motioned Snape to look over his shoulder.

When Snape looked back, he saw a floor-to-ceiling mirror with gold rims, and after just one glance, Snape couldn't take his eyes off it.

The feelings of regret and longing seemed to have appeared only for a moment, and the numbness and indifference returned to Snape's face.

"What's this?" Snape could hardly resist looking at the mirror again.

"Mirror of Erised." Dumbledore glanced at the mirror but looked away quickly. "Use it to protect the Philosopher's Stone," Dumbledore looked at Snape, "do you think it's safe?"

"There's never been a 'safety' thing. If it's all right, I'll go back." Snape said he didn't want to be here anymore.

Watching Snape close the door to the headmaster's office, Dumbledore stood up again and walked to the Pensieve, snapped a memory from his wand and threw it into it.

At this time, Solim had just finished tinkering with his single room - he had been tinkering with this room after helping Draco win the prefect.

Now the prefects' lounge is not what it used to be, Solim has made a lot of changes to the prefects' lounge. Let the elf throw away all the decorations he thought were useless, and this lounge dedicated to him will only be used for sleeping and theoretical magic research in the future. He will find another place for brewing potions and practicing spells. After all, he doesn't want the place where he sleeps to be full of strange smells from potion ingredients, and he doesn't want the room to be messed up when practicing spells. . Anyway, there are a lot of empty classrooms around the Slytherin common room, so just find a hidden spot when the time comes.

It was late, but Solim had no intention of resting. He is leaning against the head of the bed to read his "tome" now. Tomorrow morning, the first session will be a history of magic for catching up on sleep, and the second session will be about spells. Of the major Slytherin classes, only Potions and Transfiguration and Defense Against the Dark Arts are taught with Gryffindor, and all other classes are taught with Ravenclaw. Honestly, I prefer dealing with Ravenclaw to Gryffindor Solim. In Solim's words, it's easier to deal with those of the same gender. If you want to deal with Gryffindor, the first sentence of the person must be: "You evil Slytherin stay away from me." Or "You Slytherin snake What kind of conspiracy is there to approach me!" Thinking about Solim's big head, and Neville's going to Gryffindor, there will definitely be many opportunities for him to deal with Gryffindor in the future.

Solim decided not to think about these bad things, for him to find what he wants from the book in his hand is the top priority.

As mentioned earlier, Solim has a great relationship with his half-sister. Back in Selwyn Castle, the only person who could make Solim feel warm was this little sister. Solim's Mana Riot occurred when he was four years old—before his two older brothers. Dax and Sabiantes were five and six years old.

Pure-blooded wizards mainly look at a wizard's talent to see when the magic power riots, and the earlier the talent, the higher the talent. The sooner the magic power riots, the faster the magic power of the little wizard will grow. Of course, the sooner the better, the four-year-old is almost the limit. If it is earlier, it is very likely to become a silent person-this is a death sentence. No Obscure survives ten years old.

Solim was sent to Schuyler, a school only open to special wizarding families, shortly after the magic riot. Not to mention how Solim was tortured and tortured in that school after he was seven years old. He could only go home once a year, if Solim called the Selwyn castle "home."

The eldest brother doesn't want to see him, and the second brother ignores him. If his father comes back, he can still have a few words with Solim. As for Mrs. Selwyn... Hehe, Solim wished he could stay as far away from that woman as possible—the matter of Solim's biological mother hadn't been figured out yet.

In the entire castle, only the little sister Sirna was closer to him. After all, the little girl has no one to get close to. Both their eldest brother and second brother made the school a little neurotic, but it was just two extremes-one violent, one silent. It is difficult for a little girl to communicate with. At this time, Solim, the most normal-looking brother, became the only one the little girl could talk to, and Solim really needed to find a psychological sustenance to divert his attention—otherwise he would be like his brother sooner or later. The eldest brother is the same as the second brother.

Although Solim escaped from Schuyler in the end, the sustenance he found just to keep himself going has really become the sustenance of his soul over time. He hopes to find a way to change the fate of his Squib sister.

And hope is in the book in his hand.
