Hogwarts: Who taught you to transform like this?

Dumbledore lowered his head and began to ponder.

After a long time, he raised his head again.

"Mr. Merlin, this is a very important matter. Do you know what you are talking about?"

"Of course, Professor, if you don't believe me, you can ask the Sorting Hat. It heard it too."

"Really? Sorting Hat?"

Dumbledore asked seriously.

"Yes, Dumbledore, I did hear Slytherin's voice, I did."

"you sure?"

"Yes! Absolutely! I have met him countless times, it is impossible to forget his voice"

""Okay, I understand."

Dumbledore nodded, tapping his fingertips on the table.

From Merlin's perspective,

Dumbledore seemed to be sitting in a daze.

But he had used a kind of advanced magic, and without the help of the Pensieve, he began to check his long-forgotten memories.

From the time he came into contact with the boy named Tom Riddle in the Wu Orphanage more than 50 years ago.

To his admission to school, study, graduation, and all the memories after that.

"No wonder it's like this"

"He would become what he is now and become obsessed with collecting relics of the Big Four"

"Inherit Slytherin's will, control Hogwarts, and recruit pure-blood wizards?"

He always wondered what happened to turn Tom into Voldemort, but he couldn't find any trace. It would make sense if it was Salazar Slytherin behind the scenes.

After all, he was the founder of Hogwarts and one of the four giants.

It was effortless to bewitch a young, talented, and ambitious little wizard.

"No wonder he became so powerful!"

After everything was connected, Dumbledore opened his eyes, and his eyes became exceptionally bright.

"Mr. Merlin, thank you for telling me this. I need to meet a few people to confirm the situation."

"If you don't mind, you can go back to class first...um, or take a rest?"

"You can also take the Sorting Hat with you"

"No problem, Professor."

Merlin took the Sorting Hat and stood up.

As he was about to go down the stairs, he suddenly thought of something.

"By the way, Professor, aren’t you worried that I will do the same thing as him after I take control of Hogwarts?"

"Mr. Merlin, when you told me this secret, I believed that you would not become like this, right?"

Dumbledore blinked.

"Well, Professor, you are right, I really don't have this idea, but after I get Hogwarts, maybe I will make some changes."

"for example?"

"Let the Ministry of Magic pay my rent, so I won't be short of money."

Merlin said seriously

""Ahem!"

Dumbledore spit out a mouthful of iced lemon juice, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether it was a real thought or a joke.

Although Hogwarts now has a school director.

However, since the establishment of the school, it has never been heard that Hogwarts needs to pay rent.

What if the rent is too expensive, will Hogwarts go bankrupt?

Dumbledore's face changed.

""Haha, Professor, I'm just kidding."

Merlin couldn't help but laugh.

I didn't expect that the greatest white wizard in the world would have a headache because of rent. It's really interesting.

"Don't worry, professor. Even if I accept it, the amount won't be much. I just want to change the current situation. After all, the school can't always be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Magic, right?"

Merlin stood up and left the principal's office with the Sorting Hat.

He also turned off the reminder of the collection degree of 3/12.

The range of the relic marking was increased to 40 meters, and it could even detect magic items within the range.

It was perfect!

From Dumbledore's performance, we knew that he probably believed what he said.

But he still had to find someone to confirm it.

It was either Grindelwald who was imprisoned in Nugamund or Nicolas Flamel who was far away in France.

He believed that his name would also reach their ears.

This was also part of his plan.

It was too slow to influence ordinary wizards by himself, and commercial influence was enough.

The system still cared about the key figures in the magic world.

It depended on Dumbledore's strength.

It would be best if these famous people were familiar with him before he became famous, so that it would be much easier to change.

I don't know how much reward there would be for changing this result.

Merlin couldn't help but look forward to it.

After Merlin left, Dumbledore stared at the place where he disappeared, recalling the words he left.

After a while, he shook his head in silence, waved his hand and disappeared from the school

……

"I say, Merlin, what you said today really scared me."

The Sorting Hat whispered on Merlin's shoulder, its raised brim covering the wrinkles on the hat.

"Aren’t you afraid that this secret will be leaked?"

"What else?"

Mo Lin shrugged. Do you expect me to collect so many relics by myself?

"It's not impossible. Voldemort has collected several of them."

""Aren't you afraid to call his name?"

Merlin was very curious.

He clearly heard the Sorting Hat say Voldemort just now. He didn't expect that the hat was so brave that it dared to call a name that even Professor McGonagall didn't dare to call.

"What am I afraid of? I'm not a wizard. If he opens a school, doesn't he still need to divide it into different houses?"

"Um……"

Hearing this, Mo Lin felt that his previous thoughts seemed a little unreliable.

The IQ of this hat is about the same as that of a goblin.

"However, Voldemort only wanted pure bloods when he established a school. How many houses do you think he needed? Did he also need a sorting hat?"

""Swish!"

The Sorting Hat shuddered, shaking off a layer of skin flakes, and shrank back tightly, making a trembling and rubbing sound.

"You didn't hear anything just now, got it?"

"What a coward!"

Merlin shook his head, but still put away the Sorting Hat, stuffed it into his robes and walked towards the hall.

Although Dumbledore agreed to let him take it away, it was still a bit high-profile to hold the Sorting Hat and walk past other little wizards.

Let's talk about it after the renovation.

When Merlin walked near the hall, he heard from a distance that some little wizards gathered together to discuss something.

"Look, what does Filch mean by this?"

"Did he change his gender? Did he allow us to use props in the castle?"

"Are there some things that were not allowed before but are now allowed?"

"No, no, no, it's in the instructions. It can only be used here and must be cleaned up after use."

"Does he want to go fishing?"

"Probably not, it has Professor Dumbledore's signature on it."

"So?"

The little wizards were silent for a few seconds, then suddenly burst into shouting.

"Will we have a dedicated entertainment venue for props in the future?"

"For the first time, Filch didn't seem that annoying to me."

"Praise Merlin! This is definitely the greatest change to Hogwarts this century!"

【In order to facilitate students of all grades to experiment with spells and alchemical props, Mr. Filch specially applied to set up a prop duel field on the right side of the hall corridor.】

【Students of all grades can use magic items or non-offensive magic to duel in this area, but they must return to their original state after use.】

【If you need to test alchemical props and magic toys, please contact Mr. Filch, and he will find Peeves as a challenge object.】

【Attached is a list of usable magic props.

Merlin walked by and saw a notice board erected at the side of the hall and nodded with satisfaction.

It seems that Filch not only listened to advice, but also did better.
