———————————————————————— Coming out of the principal’s office, Rossi silently followed Snape all the way down to the first floor.

"what's on your mind?"

Seeing the expression on her face changing from time to time, Snape couldn't help but ask, "You haven't spoken since just now."

What am I thinking? I'm thinking wildly!

Rossi muttered in his heart, put away the series of conspiratorial speculations in his head, spread his hands and said:

"Nothing, I was just wondering if Peter Pettigrew would be sent to Azkaban."

So far, two of the three tasks in the dungeon have been completed, but there is no movement on the third task.

Rossi guessed that this task may not be completed until Peter is sent to Azkaban.

There must not be other criminals who escaped from Azkaban, right? I haven't seen any relevant information! Please, don't let any more accidents happen!

Rosie clasped her hands together and prayed secretly.

At this time, Snape suddenly pointed the tip of his wand on Rosie, and invisible magic instantly surrounded her body.

Not feeling any discomfort, Rossi raised his eyes and looked at the other party in surprise:

"What did you do? What spell did you use on me?"

"The true form is revealed!"

Snape said in a calm tone, "Not only do you not act like a wizard, you also don't act like an Auror."

So you think I'm a fake too?

Rossi couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

As if he thought of something that pleased him, the corners of Snape's lips raised slightly: "No matter what Peter said is true or false, his crime of betraying Lily and killing twelve Muggles is enough to make the Wizengamot...

Sentence him to Azkaban for life."

Regardless of whether what Peter said is true or not? You would rather what he said is true, right? Then he and Black would be convicted together and imprisoned in Azkaban together?

Just looking at the barely concealed sneer on his lips, Rossi had no doubts about the accuracy of his guess.

"I hope nothing will happen again in the future!" She prayed again.

After a moment of silence, Snape turned his attention to Rossi again:

"What do you think of Dumbledore?"

What do you think of Dumbledore?

Rosie looked at Snape in astonishment. As someone who had been with Dumbledore for more than ten years, he actually asked her such a question. This made her wonder. Was he asking sincerely? Or was he trying to test his words?

?

After hesitating for two seconds, she chose a snake oil answer:

"He's a great man."

Seeing Snape looking over expressionlessly, she added with a dry smile: "He is extremely talented, wise, philanthropic, just, and kind..."

"Oh!"

Snape sneered and interrupted Rossi's compliment.

What's going on? Do you have any objection to my words? Aren't these descriptions of Dumbledore well-known in the wizarding world?

Muttering in her heart, she looked at Snape with doubtful eyes:

"What? Is there something wrong with what I said?"

"Dumbledore..."

Snape smiled and shook his head, "Of course he is extremely wise, of course he is absolutely righteous..."

Although he said words of praise for Dumbledore, these words always gave her the feeling that there was something in them and a deeper meaning to Rosie's ears.

However, Snape seemed to have no intention of having an in-depth conversation about this. After handing Ron's wand to Rosie and asking her to return it on her behalf, Snape turned and walked towards the Slytherin dungeon.

At dinner time, Dumbledore announced to the teachers and students of Hogwarts that all the dementors guarding outside the school had been evacuated.

This good news immediately made the students from the four major colleges cheer loudly.

And amid the noisy cheers, the first task on Rosina's task list also reached 100% completion.

This is also a particularly happy thing for Rossi.

However, this happy mood could only last until the Defense Against the Dark Arts class on Monday afternoon.

Since the Wizengamot was about to interrogate and judge Peter and Black, Lupine, as a witness, naturally had no way of rushing back to class.

Therefore, when the gloomy-looking Snape appeared in class, Rossi guessed that this class might involve learning how to fight against werewolves.

As expected, there was no practical training at all during the entire class. From beginning to end, it was just theoretical knowledge on how to deal with and kill werewolves.

After class, Rosie secretly swore in her heart that she would never attend Snape's classes in the future.

Later, Rosie learned from Lupine, who had returned from the Ministry of Magic, that Black had been tested with Veritaserum and was acquitted in court.

And Peter Pettigrew, as Snape said before, will be imprisoned in Azkaban for life.

For a long time after that, Rossi once again immersed himself in learning.

But the other spells are fine, and their experience is slowly increasing little by little every day. Only the Transformation spell, since it reached a high level and gained a part of its experience, its experience value has barely moved at all.

Rossi tried various methods, and even asked McGonagall, who taught Transfiguration, for advice, but there was still little progress.

This made her very distressed, even though many people said that she had mastered the Transfiguration very well now, and it was more than enough to pass the final exam of Hogwarts, so there was no need to put too much demands on herself.

But she knew very well in her heart that she would not be able to pass the exam without maximizing her skill proficiency.

The reason why she had this understanding was because of the Apparition test a few months ago.

When Rosie successfully passed the Apparition exam arranged by the Department of Transportation of the Ministry of Magic, she opened the skills panel with a happy face, but was shocked by the button waiting for the exam that appeared under [Apparition].

It turns out that the exam in the dungeon is just a prerequisite for starting the official exam, and the difficulty between the two is not comparable at all.

"It's too difficult. Even with all the experience points, I just narrowly passed the Apparition exam. I'm already smiling when I get good grades."

Thinking of this, Rossi couldn't help but slide his eyes to a line of small words on the skill panel:

Apparition (Level 1): After a short cast of 5 seconds, you can teleport to the target location. The magic power consumption is proportional to the teleportation distance. To avoid "splitting", please be careful when teleporting over long distances. Cooling time: 180s.

Every time she saw this skill introduction, she couldn't help but want to say the previous sentence: The 5-second cast forward movement is not short at all!

"I must keep all these temporary skills that I have worked so hard to develop!"

After casting a round of spells in the dormitory, Rosie secretly cheered herself up.

Although she was thinking this in her mind, when she saw that her dormitory had turned into a magnificent palace, and she had no experience in transfiguration, she couldn't help but feel helpless.

What should we do? Even the difficult Patronus Charm can be used to gain experience, so why is the Transfiguration...

"Wait? Patronus Charm!"

Rosie suddenly remembered that her Patronus Charm was perfected under the guidance of Dumbledore. "Since he can guide me in practicing the Patronus Charm, can he also teach me the transfiguration?"

Thinking of this, as a proactive activist, Rossi put this idea into action without hesitation.

However, she did not seek advice from Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts, but from Dumbledore, the transfiguration professor in the alchemy pocket watch.

"If that's possible, wouldn't I also have an old grandfather hidden in the ring?"

She suddenly felt funny at the thoughts running through her head.

"Click!"

With the crisp sound of the alchemy pocket watch, the middle-aged Dumbledore appeared in front of Rossi.

The corner of his mouth curled up into a subtle smile, and his blue eyes turned to Rossi:

"There doesn't seem to be any danger here? What? Do you want to chat with me?"

"Professor Dumbledore, can you guide me in practicing Transfiguration?" Rossi asked shamelessly.

When she said this, she even felt like a scumbag. Dumbledore was busy when he was busy, but he kept his pocket watch when he was busy.

"Transfiguration?"

Dumbledore seemed not to have expected that Rossi would make such a request to him. He did not answer Rossi's question directly, but looked out the window through the dust-free glass.

It was a scenery that was all too familiar to him.

Looking back, Dumbledore smiled and changed the subject:

"If I'm not mistaken, this is Hogwarts?"

"Yes, this is indeed Hogwarts!" In fact, when summoning Dumbledore, Rossi had already made plans to answer his questions.

After a two-second pause, she added: "Hogwarts in 1994."

In fact, Rossi himself was also curious as to whether the game might hide any secrets in the differences between the timelines inside and outside the dungeon.

"1994?" Dumbledore looked over with surprise.

"Yes, to be precise, today is February 5, 1994."

Silently recalling the time in his mind, Rossi answered seriously, "But this time is very strange. Although it is nearly a thousand years different from the year 946 we live in, what happened here, well~ is about 50 years after our time.

.”

After hearing this, Dumbledore suddenly fell silent and looked out the window deeply.

"It is obviously 50 years later, but there is a thousand years apart in time. Is this the filling of fate? Or is it the wear and tear of time..."

He whispered almost silently.

After a moment, Dumbledore turned his attention back to Rossi again, "Who is the headmaster of Hogwarts now?"

"Um...why do you ask this??"

Are you trying to meet the headmaster of Hogwarts? Thinking of this, Rossi panicked for no reason and subconsciously used the honorific.

Dumbledore's eyes flashed with confusion, and he didn't understand why she reacted like this:

"Since it is 50 years later, it is naturally necessary for me to meet him and discuss some things with him."

"Forehead……"

After hesitating for a moment, Rossi decided to tell him the truth, "The principal of Hogwarts is... Dumbledore."

"who?"

Dumbledore's deep gaze froze for an instant, and he asked again in disbelief.

"It's Professor Dumbledore yourself." Rossi replied softly.

"Is it me?"

Dumbledore closed his eyes slightly, as if he was trying to stabilize his emotions or thinking about something.

"So what he meant by 'something that can change the status quo of the wizarding world' is getting information about the future from the copy and then changing the present?"

Rossi naturally knew that the "now" in Dumbledore's words refers to the era in which he lives, and refers to the "now" outside the copy.

"I'm not going to have any major impact on the game again, am I?"

Rossi murmured secretly, then asked: "Would you do this?"

"No!"

Dumbledore said categorically, "Playing with time will only be swallowed up by time in the end. Only one lesson is enough."

When he said this, he looked at Rossi with a look full of meaning.

It seems that the person who gave you the invitation made a miscalculation.

Wait! The person who gave him the invitation?

Rossi suddenly had a question in his mind: "Who is the person who gave you the invitation letter? Since he can give you a copy of the invitation letter, does that mean that he has a large number of invitation letters? Or even the method of making invitation letters?

"

Dumbledore was stunned by Rossi's question. He thought about it for a moment and finally shook his head with nothing to gain:

"He didn't show his true face in front of me. I only know that he is a wizard whose strength is not inferior to mine."

"Isn't it inferior to you in strength? No, you are the most powerful being in the wizarding world, and I am not inferior to you..."

Rossi couldn't help but vomit in his heart: He can send out dungeon invitations and is still very powerful? If such a mysterious figure still exists in the game, then he can only be the biological son of this game!

Eh, that's not right...

She suddenly thought of something again. This person couldn't be Mr. Weasley, right? The copy of "The Sorcerer's Stone" was originally triggered by Arbor through him, so wouldn't it be the same if he triggered another "Azkaban" through him?

Something reasonable?

"Is that person wearing a purple suit, with half-moon eyes, and a face mostly covered by straight hair?"

Without thinking much, Dumbledore nodded and replied:

"Although I didn't see him head-on, judging from his clothing, it must be him. What, do you know this person?"

It’s actually him!

Rossi's mood was a bit complicated. The original character in this game actually has so much energy. What role does he play in this game? The protagonist of the main mission? Or the villain?

Seeing Dumbledore looking at her with inquiring eyes, Rossi put down the boiling thoughts in her heart and said: "I have met him several times, but I don't know his name. I only know that he calls himself Mr. Weasley."

"Mr. Weasley?"

Dumbledore repeated in surprise, his thick eyebrows slightly wrinkled, "In my memory, there should be no such person in the Weasley family."

"No?"

Rosie was startled for a moment, and then thought that Mr. Weasley's hair color was not the iconic red of the Weasley family, "Hmm... maybe Mr. Weasley does not belong to the Weasley family we are familiar with?"

"Maybe..."

The two people had their own thoughts, and the atmosphere in the room fell silent for an instant.

After a while, Rossi once again turned the topic back to the original question.

This time, Dumbledore did not change the subject, but readily agreed to her request.

"In fact, advanced transformation techniques rely on our creativity and imagination."

Dumbledore smiled and picked up the water glass on the desk, "Here, let's try casting a transformation spell on it."

How about combining the two chapters into one and updating 4,000 words every day (*ω)
