The Legend of Harry Potter Schoolmaster

The magic that a portrait or photo can reveal is mainly related to two factors.

The first is its creator.

Like those portraits in the "Daily Prophet", or the photos of Professor Gilderoy Lockhart once plastered all over the Defense Against the Dark Arts office, can show a certain amount of magic... but only limited to random movements or tricks. Waving, and chanting some "slogans" in vain.

And the portraits posted on the campus, such as the portraits of the Fat Lady and Sir Cadogan, because the wizards who painted them casted more sophisticated spells, they also gave them stronger magical powers... They can have a certain consciousness, Can easily communicate with wizards.

The second point is related to the strength of the wizard on the portrait before his death.

Generally speaking, the more powerful the wizard, the more powerful the magic power will be in the portrait painted after death.

For example, the portraits of these former principals... They not only have independent consciousness, but also have memories of when they were alive. They can freely "drop in" among the portraits in the school, and even freely come and go between their own portraits (even if they are located on the other side of the ocean).

Every headmaster in the history of Hogwarts can be regarded as a well-known wizard, and most of them can occupy a large chapter in the book "History of Magic". The portraits of the principals after they leave office or after their death are usually painted by the best painters and then pasted on the wall of the principal's office.

Therefore, these portraits can retain the personalities and memories of the principals during their lifetime. They can independently provide certain suggestions for the current principal; and use their ability to travel through the portraits to send messages to the current principal...

Of course, not every headmaster's portrait can be posted in the headmaster's office. After the headmaster's death, his portrait was hung in the headmaster's office. It was proposed by Geveld before his death, and has been approved by every principal since then.

The previous three principals were not among them, so there were always three empty portraits on the top of the portrait wall.

...

Jon patiently cleaned up the portrait wall and removed the dust from each portrait.

Looking at the beaming old headmasters who were embracing and celebrating, and listening to the noise from them; Jon shook his head helplessly, turned around, and came to the other side of the room.

"Reparo!"

Jon waved his wand, bringing the seventy-eighth floor silverware back to the table and back to normal.

After working for about a quarter of an hour, until the last silver mouse was safely placed back on the table, the principal's office seemed to have returned to its former appearance.

It's a pity that Professor Dumbledore is no longer there; besides the phoenix stand on the table, there is no trace of Fox.

"This Professor Dumbledore, he asked me to come to his office just to be a cleaner?" Jon muttered while sitting down on Dumbledore's seat.

The cushions under this seat are soft, and I have to say that it is quite comfortable to sit on.

While sitting down, Jon boredly opened Dumbledore's drawer, wanting to see if there were any "relics" left by the dear headmaster.

In the left drawer is a drawer of all kinds of candies. All the styles you can see in the "Honey Dukes" candy store can be found here.

Jon couldn't help sticking out his tongue, and closed the drawer again... He opened the drawer on the right again, and there was a pair of brand new wool socks in it. Jon quickly closed it again, deciding not to violate Dumbledore's privacy……

Then, Jon came to the bookcase under the phoenix shelf, opened the bookcase lightly, and looked at the hundreds of books arranged in different categories inside. These are all the books collected by the headmasters of Hogwarts, and Jon took a copy of "Secrets of Advanced Dark Arts" from it... No, it seems that Dumbledore gave him as a gift.

I have to say that Jon has long been salivating over the collection of books here... Most of the books here can't even be found in the restricted section of Hogwarts.

But now that Dumbledore is not here, Jon is not going to be polite... He is now thinking about how to avoid the attention of these principals, and secretly borrow one or two books from them to return to the dormitory.

While thinking about it, Jon opened a book called "Top Potion - Tips to Improve the Success Rate of Felix Elixir Configuration".

...

Half an hour later, Jon emerged from the esoteric contents inside.

Having spent enough time in the headmaster's office, Jon wondered if staying any longer might arouse suspicion... precisely because he was the headmaster's assistant, it would be very suspicious not to appear in front of other Slytherins for a long time.

And those Slytherin friends may think that they were attacked by some angry Gryffindor students, and they will search for themselves all over the school!

As Jon stood up, he stuffed the "Top Potion" into his arms as if nothing had happened.

"The books here are not allowed to be taken out!" Principal Phineas Black's lazy voice sounded from behind.

"Dear Headmaster Black..." Jon quickly apologized with a smile, "Can you accommodate me?"

"No!" A stern voice came from the top of the portrait wall.

Seeing the gloomy face of Principal Oliver Cromwell, Jon quickly put down the book.

"You can come back to watch at night!" Principal Phineas Black continued to say in that lazy voice: "If I remember correctly, Armando is an expert in potions. I took it back then...it felt so good! He can also give you some reference opinions."

"That's right." Principal Armando Dippet, who looked very weak, nodded.

"But I don't have a valid reason to come here at night?" Jon shook his head in embarrassment.

"It's simple!" Principal Phineas Black suddenly became energetic: "You can make an invisibility cloak. I made one when I was exploring Algeria when I was young. It helped me get rid of the unknown. How many……"

"You've talked about this ten thousand times, don't you bother me, Phineas!" Principal Dexter Foster shook his head disdainfully: "To make an invisibility cloak requires a complete Invisible beast fur, where do you ask Jon to get it?"

"Listen to me, boy. You should learn the Disillusionment Curse. Although the effect is not as good as the invisibility cloak, it is still very effective in deceiving people at night..." Principal Dexter Foster continued, with an excited face look like.
