I Was Spotted By Grindelwald and Went To Hogwarts Chapter 568

As soon as it was caught in the hand, a sunken eye and a mouth appeared on the hat.

"Oh, oh, that's not polite, boy."

"Hey Mr. Hat, do you remember me?" Sean greeted.

The Sorting Hat made a long, dry voice: "Of course, but you shouldn't have caught me like this..."

Sean immediately imitated Professor McGonagall and pinched the peak of the sorting hat.

"I prefer to be held by others..." The Sorting Hat's words stopped abruptly, and then said angrily, "It's okay, it's not bad if you get used to it..."

If there is enough time and there is no major issue behind Sean's ass, he would be more than willing to have a pleasant chat with the Sorting Hat, but now he is eager to verify some things and needs the help of the other party.

He hugged the hat into his arms: "Mr. Hat, as long as you remember me—I kept my promise and didn't tell your secret."

The Sorting Hat shook its tip in satisfaction: "You are a person who keeps your promises."

"Then can I?"

The Sorting Hat readily agreed: "Put me on, and just ask your questions in your heart."

Sean immediately put the sorting hat on his head, and then quickly asked in his heart: "Is the portrait of Professor Dumbledore different from that of other principals?"

After waiting for a long time without an answer, Sean was about to ask, when the Sorting Hat's puzzled voice came first: "Why don't you speak?"

Sean was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that his Occlumency was off.

For some reason, he thought of Professor Dumbledore again—the first time we met, he even slandered whether the other party would use Legilimency to peek at what was in a little wizard's head.

Sean sighed with a wry smile. Dumbledore had never used Legilimency on himself, but he could always guess what was going on in his mind and what other people were thinking.

Gathering his mind, he activated the Occlumency Technique, and then described his problem again.

The Sorting Hat was silent for a moment, and then the voice in Sean's mind seemed a little uncertain: "Mr. Dumbledore's portrait is indeed different..."

"What do you mean?" Sean cheered up immediately.

"Uh... Let me describe it this way. As a hat, my greatest role is to sort Hogwarts freshmen. My magic is fixed by the creators, and finally it is connected with the magic power of Hogwarts itself. Together, I can see things that wizards can't, like that book and that pen—ss—you should know about that? That shouldn't be a big secret…"

Sean nodded: "The book of admission and the pen of acceptance."

The Sorting Hat breathed a sigh of relief, although it didn't have these breathing organs.

"I can't control my mouth... Forget it, it shouldn't matter to you, after all, you and the House of Requirement..." Halfway through the sentence, the Sorting Hat paused, and then its voice in Sean's mind was full of remorse , "My mouth..."

Does the Sorting Hat know that I have partial access to the Room of Requirement? Sean's eyes are getting brighter, which shows that the Sorting Hat not only has the magical abilities on the surface, it can see a lot more things than I imagined!

What about Dumbledore? !

Sean quickly comforted: "It's okay, I know, as a member of Hogwarts, you have to keep the secret for the entire castle and the principal, but I am also a member of Hogwarts, I and The Room of Requirement has already been connected, does this mean that I am the same as you, whether it is Mr. Hat or Ms. House, we are also a part of Hogwarts, we are essentially the same kind."

The Sorting Hat immediately cheered up: "You're right! This is great. The Room of Requirement and the thing in the Forbidden Forest don't talk to me. I finally have someone to communicate with!"

Sean blinked, as if he got an extra piece of news?

Does the Room of Requirement actually have a partial sense of autonomy like the Sorting Hat? Are there similar items in the Forbidden Forest?

Worth keeping in mind for later exploration.

Sean immediately asked again from the bottom of his heart: "What did you just say about Professor Dumbledore?"

The Sorting Hat spoke a lot more refreshingly this time: "It's hard for me to describe to you...Let's put it this way, Hogwarts is a whole magical existence. It's not accurate to describe her with creatures, because Hogwarts All kinds of items in Cili will gradually "wake up" over the long years, not to give birth to a soul, but to gradually have an independent consciousness. This kind of consciousness will not cause any harm to the people in the castle. The items are more vivid—for example, the armor on the second floor, and the pair of armor brothers actually have autonomous consciousness.”

"But in essence, we all belong to Hogwarts as a whole, so we will not cause any harm to the students and faculty of Hogwarts - the oil painting cursing is his character, it is not harmful, let me declare."

"They gradually gained consciousness over the years, because they 'bubbled' in the huge magic field of Hogwarts, but I had consciousness from the beginning—" Speaking of this, the tone of the Sorting Hat was obviously quite proud, "I am the consciousness given by Gryffindor, which allows me to learn and think - of course, the limit of thinking is very small, after all, I am just a hat."

"I spend most of my time in the headmaster's office, it's nice here, but it's boring when no one is around - I'm connected to the magic of Hogwarts, so when I'm bored I just watch and I can see that magic, and then slowly you will understand something."

The brim of the sorting hat trembled, pointing to the wall where the principal's portrait was hung: "The portraits of the previous principals, like the portraits in other places, only have memories of their lives. Part of the pattern of behavior and the way of speaking — that's how it normally is."

"However, because of the particularity of Hogwarts, I gradually discovered that these portraits seem to not only retain the state of life, it seems that they can also start thinking like me..."

Xiao En was thoughtful: "So, the portraits will indeed discuss a lot of things with the current principal."

"Yes, there are many things. If you can't think, you can't discuss it. Although I'm just a hat, I also understand this."

"Then Professor Dumbledore?" Sean asked anxiously.

The voice of the Sorting Hat was a little uncertain: "I said that I can see the magic power. Normally, after the portrait of the new headmaster is moved to the office, the magic power will be integrated into Hogwarts. Then, because they are powerful wizards , will quickly start to generate part of the consciousness that can think, generally speaking, this time ranges from one to three years—so, the portrait of the principal will generally not speak when he first moves in, because the generated part of consciousness and the magic of the portrait itself There are some conflicts, but after the consciousness gradually becomes stronger, it means that consciousness can control the magic power of the portrait, so the people in the painting can speak and think."

"As soon as Mr. Dumbledore's portrait moved in, I felt the magic that merged with Hogwarts. If he hadn't died, the magic on the portrait would not have worked...you know what I mean? "

Sean nodded: "What about the different places?"

"The difference is that I find that the portrait of Mr. Dumbledore does not seem to have any signs of self-awareness... This is unreasonable. Of all the portraits of the headmaster I have seen, Mr. Phoenix Black, he is the slowest The one who became conscious, but the first day he was moved in, I felt his gradual consciousness through the magic of Hogwarts-although this process will last for a long time, it is impossible to have no signs at all .It is like a seed, as long as the seed is not dead, the most sensitive land can always feel his germination."

"But Mr. Dumbledore does not have such a situation." The Sorting Hat finally concluded.

Sean was a little excited by this news. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Does that mean that the soul of Professor Dumbledore is different from that of previous principals?"

"No, no," the Sorting Hat immediately denied his answer. "Souls are essentially the same. Although Mr. Dumbledore is very powerful, whether he is a Muggle or not, souls are equal after death." of."

"No, I mean, is Professor Dumbledore's soul different from other dead people..."

The sorting hat slammed his lips in Sean's heart: "You mean, Mr. Dumbledore didn't really die? That's not right. If he hadn't passed away, the magic on the portrait wouldn't work."

"But how do you explain the difference between him and the other principals?"

Facing Sean's questioning, the Sorting Hat became distressed again.

After a while, it opened its mouth cautiously.

The voice of the Sorting Hat was very hesitant: "Is there such a possibility? I mean it is possible. After all, I have been in the principal's office for so long, and I have seen many strange things... Could it be, Dumbledore? Mr.'s soul is in the passage between the underworld and the underworld, and he is hesitating whether to return to the human world and become a ghost..."

Before Sean could speak, the Sorting Hat vetoed its own statement: "Impossible, none of the previous headmasters of Hogwarts would do such a greedy thing, not even Phoenix Black, let alone Mister Dumbledore."

Sean thought about it and said, "Is there any other possibility? Professor Dumbledore's soul has gone to other places..."

For example, the blurred illusion that he didn't say.

Sean always felt that it was impossible for Dumbledore to walk away like this. Although he is indeed a very free and easy and honest person, there are still many things that have not been dealt with in the real world...

However, Dumbledore's body was carried back by him himself. Before that, Sean had confirmed countless times that there was no breath of life in the old man's body.

The Sorting Hat seemed to be reminded by Xiao En, it said "Oh!": "When you said that, I remembered something—about seven hundred years ago? Or eight hundred years? Don't care, it's been a long time anyway. Before."

"I was struggling with how to write a new song for the next school year, but I had no inspiration, I was just a hat! So, I thought of looking elsewhere, you know, I was connected to the magic of Hogwarts , to some extent, I can observe the outside world through all the things in the castle, as long as those objects agree."

Sean nodded, he now knew why Professor Dumbledore always knew everything that happened in the castle.

"That time, my consciousness wandered around the castle, but suddenly I saw a person—" the Sorting Hat lowered his voice when he said this, "it was a knight on an oil painting, he was Hogwarts before. He was the guard of Cici, and later died in the hands of a dark wizard. In order to show his respect, the headmaster at that time put his oil painting in the exhibition corridor."

"Like I said, the Hogwarts portraits are conscious—but I don't monitor everything in the castle all the time, so I didn't realize until then that the portrait of the knight and Professor Dumbledore The portraits seem to be the same situation!"

Sean immediately asked, "Where is that knight now?"

The tone of the Sorting Hat became strange: "If I remember correctly, the portrait of that knight seems to have been taken away by Professor Dumbledore..."

"Well, come to think of it, a little bit comes to mind—your name, I remember, is Sean Wallop, isn't it?"

"That's right." Sean nodded.

The Sorting Hat's tone became more and more puzzled: "Strange, why didn't I think of it before... I don't know the name of that knight, but he is called the Great White Rose, and his surname is also Wallep..."

Sean's child hole immediately contracted violently. A portrait in the same situation as Dumbledore was taken away by Dumbledore. Then, the surname is also Wallop? !

He knew right away that something was wrong.

Could it be that that knight is my ancestor?

The Sorting Hat seemed to have thought of this too: "Mr. Wallep, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Maybe you should check your genealogy. Maybe you are related to that knight from long ago!"

Sean nodded. He expressed his gratitude to the Sorting Hat, and under the strong request of the other party, he said that he would definitely come back and take it to the most luxurious bathroom to wash the hat body that has not been washed for thousands of years.

Taking off his hat, he left the principal's office and immediately ran towards the staff lounge.

Mom and Dad should be there, I'll have to ask Dad...

A few minutes later, a father and son ushered in the Responding Room.

As soon as the wooden door was closed, Sean asked impatiently, "Dad, do you know where the genealogy of our Wallop family is?"

Mr. Wallop showed a puzzled expression: "Haven't you always been less interested in the history of the aristocracy? Let me think about it, I put the genealogy in the manor in the suburbs, you should remember? When I was a child, I often Take you there with your mother, you especially like to explore in that manor, every time your mother, me, and a dozen servants have to find you for a long time."

"By the way, do you remember the time when you hid in the basement? In that basement, there is our family tree."
