The Legend of Harry Potter Schoolmaster

Jon asked sincerely while observing Mrs. Mellors' expression.

"The solution..." The old lady sighed, then shook her head: "To be honest, it's very difficult, if you can't crack it; unless I continue to teach in this position, or die, leave this world... Otherwise, this curse cannot be stopped!"

With the expected answer, Jon couldn't help but fell into a brief silence; after a while, he asked softly: "If... I mean if... If the releaser of the curse, that is, the mysterious man, is completely removed from this world? If it disappears, will this curse also disappear with it?"

"What are you kidding?" Professor Mellors looked at the principal with a strange look, as if shocked that he could even make mistakes with such common sense.

She said in a slightly sharp voice: "You don't think the so-called curse is the same as those Muggle rumors describe... This is a curse after casting, a magic that has been cast, and it is different from the mysterious person." It probably doesn't matter anymore..."

Jon couldn't help but smiled in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I'm still too young... I don't know much about the basics of magic, so I made you laugh."

It's not that Jon is self-effacing. His time in real contact with the magic world is still too short... Although he has been taught by many "famous teachers", his overall foundation can only be regarded as mediocre.

"I almost forgot, you are still a young man under the age of seventeen..." The old lady also reacted immediately, and smiled kindly.

...

"Of course, there is another problem!" Professor Mellors paused, and continued: "That's why the mysterious person can use this organization..."

Jon didn't speak, but listened quietly.

"He chose me as the object of this curse. To be honest, he is very clever and very talented..." The old lady explained word by word: "On the one hand, he has been my student for many years and knows all aspects of me very well. , which can greatly reduce the difficulty of casting the curse; on the other hand, I resigned from Hogwarts not long after he cast the curse, and even had no contact with the wizarding world for many years after that..."

"So——" Jon nodded lightly: "Professor Albus Dumbledore is a very great wizard, but he is completely helpless against Tom's curse, because he has no access to the casting of the curse." The object, and there is simply not enough basis for judgment..."

"That's right!" Professor Mellors sighed softly, "If Albus is still alive and still at Hogwarts... With his knowledge, it may only take a few days to discover the curse on me. .”

There was a bit of sadness and nostalgia in her voice.

"Then let's get back to business, Professor Mellors!" Jon interrupted the other party's sadness a little inappropriately: "What do you mean by the question you just mentioned?"

"There is nothing wrong with the mysterious man cursing me. I am afraid that his strength has already far surpassed mine." Professor Mellors said slowly: "But the content of his curse is that I will never be able to escape from Hogwarts." To be honest, I am a little puzzled by the resignation of the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts..."

"...Hogwarts is a magical creation with a strong consciousness. Even a mysterious person may find it difficult to deceive him with the confusion spell. At the same time, he should not be able to have this authority. Only the headmaster can do this ..."

"Wait a minute..." Jon's face suddenly changed——

After thinking for a moment, he said seriously: "If you're talking about the headmaster... It's impossible for Tom to have any contact with any headmaster of Hogwarts...except..."

"Our original headmaster!"

"Mr. Salazar Slytherin?" Professor Mellors asked in confusion, "He has been dead for nearly a thousand years..."

"Very correct." Jon nodded: "But before Salazar Slytherin left Hogwarts, he left something in the castle..."

"You mean... the chamber of secrets..." Even an old and powerful wizard like Galatea Meles couldn't help but cover his mouth at this moment: "I remembered... a long, long time ago... ...Hogwarts...the Chamber of Secrets has been opened..."

"Tom Riddle was a member of the school, wasn't he?" Jon smiled.

An inappropriate voice on the wall interrupted their conversation...Principal Armando Dippet poked his head quietly and said in a low voice, "It sounds like you are discussing my dark history?"

But Headmaster Hart and Professor Mellors ignored him—

Jon continued: "There is no doubt that Tom Riddle, the mysterious man, is a descendant of Slytherin. In the Chamber of Secrets, he may have come into contact with a little bit left by his ancestors... How should I put it, 'Legacy' right..."

"There is no doubt that Professor Dumbledore played a very important role at that time." Jon said while squinting at the portrait of Headmaster Dippet: "Unless the headmaster at the time was aware of it, he found Tom Riddle's abnormality, so that during school, poor Tom can no longer open the Chamber of Secrets..."

"This is probably the reason why Tom has always wanted to return to Hogwarts to teach..." Jon continued to analyze: "But fortunately, Professor Dumbledore chose to reject his application..."

"...and he happened to be at Hogwarts when he was rejected by Dumbledore. He was already a very powerful dark wizard, maybe slightly inferior to Dumbledore? I'm afraid he went to the Chamber of Secrets again, and then This organization was cast on the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor who is about to leave and retire, that is, you..."

"A very subtle analysis." Professor Mellors couldn't help applauding: "But unfortunately, only the descendants of Slytherin can enter the Slytherin's secret room; I'm afraid we can't do anything about this curse..."

"I don't think it's a pity." Jon smiled mysteriously: "Then everything is revealed, Professor Mellors... Before this curse completely disappears, I'm afraid you will have to spend time at Hogwarts. I've been a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, and I'm going to stop... Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be victims again..."

The old lady seemed to be hesitant. After half a minute, she tentatively asked: "Then my salary must be doubled? To be honest, prices have risen so much recently..."

"Deal!" Jon nodded without hesitation.
