The Years Welding at Hogwarts
Chapter 002
July 1991, UK, Scottish Highlands. 1
A majestic castle sits among the rolling mountains. The bright sunshine in the early summer afternoon coats the blue-gray wall tiles with a golden sheen, and also gives the lake next to the castle a layer of sparkling light.
The eighth floor of Hogwarts Castle, the principal’s office.
It is a large, beautiful round room.
An old man wearing a gorgeous sky-blue robe and a flowing silver-white beard was sitting behind a huge table with claw-shaped legs in the center of the room.
On the table in front of him, there was an exquisitely crafted and gorgeous silver snack jar, but what was inside was not a snack that looked attractive and made people want to take a bite.
Instead, there was a jar full of cockroaches that were still struggling, fluttering, rolling, and crawling. 3
The kind that would make a timid person sick on the spot.
But the old man didn’t seem to care about the hideous appearance of these cockroaches, and there was no trace of panic on his expression.
On the contrary, he calmly reached into the jar, grabbed one of them, and put it in his mouth. 4
Crunch, crunch… well, it tastes like candy, crunchy and crunchy, and the sugar content is six times that of rice. 5
As long as a few more pills are given, there will probably be one more diabetic patient in the world. 8
Feeling the slight stinging sensation when the cockroach’s barbed legs jumped in the mouth, the inner wall of the mouth was pierced by the barbs, and a look of happiness appeared on the old man’s face. 5
But before he could carefully savor the blissful sweetness released by the piles of cockroaches in his mouth, a voice suddenly came from outside the door and broke the comfort of this after-dinner dessert time.
“Heap of cockroaches.”
The happy look on the old man’s face suddenly disappeared.
He hurriedly put the snack jar on the table into the drawer of the table, then took out a stack of documents from the drawer and placed them on the table..2
After placing the ink bottle and picking up the quill, the old man looked serious as if he was reviewing documents.
A rumble came from outside the door, which was the sound of the stone beast guarding the door moving out of the way.
The footsteps gradually approached, and finally stopped at the door, and then, there was a knock on the door.
“come in.”
In the old man’s calm voice, there was no hint of the rush he had just pretended to be busy with official duties.
A tall black-haired witch wearing an emerald green robe and a pointed wizard hat of the same color walked out of the door. Come in.
The black hair under the wizard’s hat is pulled into a tight bun.
The witch’s lips are tightly pressed together, her brows are slightly wrinkled, and she has a serious expression on her face, as if she has encountered something quite difficult.
“Minerva, what’s wrong?”
Dumbledore slowly raised his head, and his blue eyes behind his half-moon lenses stared at Minerva McGonagall, the dedicated Vice-Principal and Professor of Transfiguration at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
He waved With a wave of his hand, a gorgeous high-back armchair padded with goose velvet appeared out of thin air behind Professor McGonagall.
“sit down.”
Dumbledore said, and he opened the desk drawer and took out the can of snacks that he had just hidden for less than thirty seconds.
“You look distressed?”Dumbledore smiled gently,”Maybe you should learn to relax yourself. Some small sweets should help you?”
After sitting down in the armchair, Professor McGonagall glanced at the thick pile of documents on the table in front of Dumbledore, and her face darkened instantly.
Then she said coldly,”No, thank you.”
Because, she found that the top document in the pile was exactly the same document that she saw when she came to the principal’s office yesterday morning.
She could tell at a glance that the bastard old man in front of her was fishing.
But she He didn’t scold Dumbledore because of this. After all, this bad old man is already over a hundred years old, and he hasn’t been fishing in the position of principal for a year or two. 1 is the vice principal, but he is actually performing his official duties. Professor McGonagall is used to the responsibilities of the Headmaster. 1
“This student’s situation is a little bit special,” the older cat girl said as she put a piece of parchment in her hand on the table in front of Dumbledore.”You may need to pick him up in person.”5
“How special?”
Dumbledore did not pick up the parchment on the table that recorded the background check for freshmen admissions. He just blinked his blue eyes at Professor McGonagall, with curiosity in his eyes. He accepted the students who met the admission requirements. The admission of freshmen is a task that Hogwarts has to carry out every year.
Generally speaking, this task in previous years was left to the professors to run errands. It is rare or impossible for Hogwarts to enroll new students. The principal of Hogwarts took action personally.
At the very least, in the decades that Dumbledore has been the principal of Hogwarts, he has never encountered such a situation that required him to personally deliver a letter to the new students, not once.
Even this year, Harry Potter, the legendary savior of the British wizarding world who defeated the Dark Lord, the famous Boy Who Lived, is about to enter school. Dumbledore will only delegate the task of delivering the admission notice. To the gamekeeper at Hogwarts, Rubeus Hagrid.
No professors even needed to go
“He is an orphan.”
After hearing Professor McGonagall’s words, Dumbledore’s expression did not change at all. He is just an orphan.
The existence of orphans only has a population of tens of thousands, and the fertility rate is a few tenths lower than that of the Muggle world. For the wizarding world, it is not a rare thing.
3 Anyway, Hogwarts can encounter one or two every year. Even if it is less, several more can be recruited every one or two years. It is not at all It’s strange.
Let’s not go into detail, let’s just talk about Harry, who is going to school this year. He is the kind of orphan described in the novel who starts with both parents dead, ah, no, the template for the protagonist.
Seeing that Dumbledore didn’t take it seriously, Professor McGonagall’s His face became more serious
“He grew up in Wu’s Orphanage.”9
Hearing the name of this orphanage, Dumbledore’s expression changed for the first time, and the gentle smile on his face suddenly froze. Why did the background of this new student sound so familiar? 1
He lowered his head Turning his head, he began to carefully examine the background check for freshmen on the table. At the top of the parchment, a name written in emerald green ink was clearly visible –
Noah Shafrin. 4
“This is the name Mr. Shafrin gave himself”
“At the age of six, Mr. Shafrin had his first magical riot.”
Professor McGonagall’s expression became more and more serious.
“Then, Mr. Shafrin, who discovered that he had a talent for magic, established his rule over other orphans in just half a month.”9
Hearing this, Dumbledore frowned slightly and realized that the matter was not simple.
Judging from this action, this new student named Noah Shafrin was a complete replica of the person back then. 5
He helped Twisted With his glasses on his nose, Dumbledore picked up the parchment on the table and began to read line by line a series of deeds that the little wizard had done before entering school.
“For the next two years, Mr. Shafrin seemed to have stayed peacefully in Wu’s Orphanage, practicing his magical abilities.”
“But in fact, he secretly contacted a criminal organization and took some measures to replace the original leader of the organization.”
On the parchment, Professor McGonagall specially used bright red ink next to this record to indicate what kind of organization the group called”Hydra” was.
That line of words, as red as blood, reflected on Deng’s mind. Blido’s eyes – crime, darkness, evil…
Basically, except for the two inhumane businesses of human trafficking and washing powder sales, there is nothing illegal and criminal that Hydra does not do. 10
And , before Noah Shafrin joined Hydra, this organization was just a little-known street gang. 3
But after Shafrin joined it, it grew in just six months. It has become one of the top forces in the underground world of London City.
Professor McGonagall continued to introduce Dumbledore:
“It wasn’t until Mr. Shafrin was eight years old that the Wu Orphanage was closed. From then on, he officially came from behind the scenes of the Hydra organization to the front.”
The record on the parchment disappeared after being written here.
Taking a deep breath, Dumbledore let go of his beloved snack jar and stood up from behind the desk.
“I understand, Minerva, leave this matter to me.”
He stretched out his hand towards a tall gilded perch behind the door.���Fox.”6
However, before the big bird with flaming crimson feathers swooped down from the perch, Professor McGonagall interrupted Dumbledore. The older cat girl, the cat shook his head.
“No, Albus, you don’t understand.”
Dumbledore, whose 12 hands were still in the air, looked confused:”?”
Phoenix Fox’s gorgeous golden long tail, like a peacock’s tail, dragged a long and gorgeous trail in the air, stopping on the hand of the confused Dumbledore.
“Not long after Mr. Shafrin became the behind-the-scenes leader of Hydra and led it to rapidly grow to its current size, the evil organization changed its name.”
“They now call themselves……”
Professor McGonagall took out her wand, and the tip of the wand, which shone with a faint light, walked through the air, and the traces left behind formed a line of beautiful shining glyphs.——
S.H.I.E.L.D.
In other words, Aegis. 11
Literally understood, it can also be said to collect protection fees.
“Moreover, the illegal activities they did in the past have gradually stopped. In addition to casinos and bars continuing to operate, the most common things they do now are……”
Speaking of this, Professor McGonagall had a strange expression on her face, and her tone was also full of unconfidence in her final investigation results. 3
“Treat illnesses and save people, save lives and heal the wounded.”15
Dumbledore:”???”
