Hogwarts Asylum

In the principal's office, Dumbledore was still teasing Catherine with the tone of trying to trick a child into eating a lollipop. Judging from his relaxed posture, he didn't feel any nervousness at all when a professor in the school mysteriously disappeared from his post.

Poor Quirrell, who has been pursuing attention for half his life, and even let Voldemort possess him, just to become stronger and attract attention. As a result, he disappeared inexplicably and was left with blood, but he failed to make much waves. I don’t know if he can bring more surprises when he returns again.

And looking at Dumbledore, he didn't seem to know that a large floor tile had just been lost at the entrance of the castle by a house demolition expert. He didn't know whether it had no effect, or he really didn't know, or he was used to showing off in front of others. Appear calm.

But whether Dumbledore knew it or not, Orolin still had to give Dumbledore a warning.

It would be great fun if Catherine had a sudden idea one day and taught the little wizard magic that was obviously beyond the scope of cleaning spells.

Let’s not talk about whether any little wizards can learn it. There will always be a few talented ones among thousands of little wizards.

Maybe Dumbledore would be woken up one night when he just fell asleep because there was a big hole missing in the common room of some house. It would be better not to be so cruel to a centenarian.

Even if that kind of magic is mastered by the most stubborn Gryffindor students, it won't be a big problem. The most it can do is make the Gryffindor Tower disappear, teach them a lesson, and then rebuild the tower. No one will die anyway.

It would be great fun if any Slytherin learned how to cast it against the wall in the common room. By then, every Slytherin would be counted one by one, and no one would be able to escape. The entire Black Lake would pour in, and they would even live in the semi-basement. All the Hufflepuffs would suffer.

Of course, the most serious consequence is that Voldemort can enjoy the ruins of Hogwarts without doing anything, and he can probably laugh out loud in his dreams.

"Dumbledore, I have a question that I'm curious about. I wonder if you can answer it." Oralin refilled Catherine's cup of tea and motioned for her to play with the cockroaches for a while.

"Of course, if you can," Dumbledore said with a smile.

O'Loughlin nodded. What this meant was that Dumbledore would never say anything that could not be revealed. It was still the familiar Riddler flavor.

"As far as I know, Hogwarts Castle is full of magic, right?"

"Yes, since the founding of Hogwarts, almost every principal has added various magics to various parts of the castle based on their own understanding of magic." Dumbledore said, "Is there any problem?"

Oluolin raised his eyebrows. He always thought that those magics were left by the four founders, so he basically never thought about studying them. After all, there are easier ways to study the magics of the four founders, such as Sorting Hat.

But if there are still works by the previous principals, it is still worth taking some time to study, because in this way, Hogwarts Castle is equivalent to an uncut picture of the top wizards of every era for thousands of years, and maybe it can pass This castle has studied the development of magic for thousands of years.

Olorin does not seek any exclusive magic. After all, most of the magic that will be cast on the castle should be defensive or concealment magic. These two types of magic are what Olorin is very good at. Rather than waste time learning them, For those magics that may not be as useful as illusions, it is better to look at the development path of magic.

Of course, the premise is that the magic left by the previous principals is still retained and has not been eliminated by the newcomers.

While thinking, Olorin asked directly: "Has the magic left by the previous principals been preserved?"

"I don't have an answer to this question," Dumbledore shook his head. "In other words, no one knows how much magic has been added to this castle, where those magics take effect, and what their effects are.

Take the trap steps for example. According to Nico, when he visited Hogwarts when he was young, the interesting steps were still normal steps. It should be that a certain principal wanted to prevent students from playing on the stairs. , specially set. "

"In other words, I don't know where the magic is, so I don't know if the magic has been preserved?" Orolin touched his chin. This is interesting. According to Dumbledore, this castle may actually be It also hides a lot of weird magic, not just defensive or concealment magic.

"Yes, but I guess the previous headmasters will not remove those magics. After all, some of them are really interesting, hahaha." Dumbledore smiled like he was holding two hundred pounds of something interesting. child.

"Then, if a wall of the castle collapses or a floor tile is missing, will it affect the operation of the castle?" Olorin took a sip of tea.

Catherine, who was happily playing with a pile of cockroaches, suddenly became alert. She acted as if she didn't care about the conversation between the two, but anyone with eyes could see that she had something up her sleeve. Those careless cockroaches The "cockroach" that was pinched in two and then stuffed into her mouth can attest to this. One of her ears was raised, and her head was almost pressed against Eurolin's body.

"Sit tight! Go play with your cockroach." Oralin flicked Catherine's head, and Catherine immediately covered her head and returned to her original position, her eyes were mischievous and she glanced at Dumbledore from time to time.

Dumbledore looked at Catherine, then at Oralin, and showed a mysterious smile. In Oralin's words in his previous life, it was an aunt-like smile.

"She is just a child." Orolin said, but felt that something was wrong in saying this, so he added, "I have a good relationship with her father Popokov. He asked me to help take care of him through the double mirror before. Give her a break, lest she cause any trouble and let him come over to get someone."

Dumbledore smiled and said with emotion: "It's great to be young——"

O'Loughlin interrupted Dumbledore directly to prevent him from making any strange remarks: "Going back to what happened before, let me tell you the truth. When she was preparing to clean up the garbage just now, she removed a piece of wood at the entrance of the castle that was about 40 inches long and wide. The floor tiles disappeared. Don't ask me how she did it, I was thinking about it too.

The question now is, will the lack of that floor tile affect the operation of the entire castle?For example, the concealment is destroyed, making the castle more easily discovered by Muggles. "

"Are you worried about the story of 'one horse losing the country'?" Dumbledore smiled gently.

Orolin raised his eyebrows again, slightly surprised that Dumbledore knew this little Muggle fable.

Dumbledore seemed to know what Orolin was thinking, and he added: "There are always some old friends who like to read various Muggle books and plays, and share the contents with them.

The dramatist named Shakespeare was indeed a very wise man. Nico had regretted it more than once. If he could have gotten to know Shakespeare back then, life would have been a lot more fun. "

O'Loughlin nodded. The story of "A Horse Lost a Country" was indeed created by Shakespeare based on reality. It was later adapted into a well-known children's song to warn future generations - if a horseshoe is missing, a country will be lost.

"But I think you don't need to worry too much. As far as I know, the magic at the entrance of the castle was personally arranged by the four founders. They have the function of self-repair, so as long as the loopholes are patched in time, the magic will be repaired automatically sooner or later. complete."

Dumbledore's words made Catherine overjoyed, because it meant that the punishment she had been worried about would not happen. That was great, and she was so happy that she killed a few more "cockroaches".

"Then there is another question." O'Loughlin said, "If Quirrell never comes back, will the underground project continue?"

In fact, this issue is not what Orolin is most concerned about. Although the cancellation of the project means that he has wasted a lot of time, but if he really wants to make those things, he can do it in another venue, even if Dumbledore does not allow him to do it in Hogwarts. You can also play it anywhere in Hogsmeade. At most, it just needs to be redesigned. The Screaming Shack is good, and it can add a bit of horror to the Screaming Shack.

The question that Orolin was most concerned about tonight was actually whether Dumbledore would use the Philosopher's Stone to test Harry. After all, the unscrupulous person on the surface - Quirrell was missing, so it was originally mainly a preparation. There is no need for the Philosopher's Stone used to tempt Quirrell to stay in Hogwarts.

But of course it was impossible for O'Loughlin to directly ask for news about the Sorcerer's Stone. That would not tell Dumbledore that there was still a fish that slipped through the net waiting to be dealt with.

Fortunately, O'Loughlin had an excuse to test before. If Dumbledore had asked Quirrell to set up the level, then O'Loughlin would have had to think of another way to talk, or have to wait.

Regarding Orolin's question, Dumbledore said almost without hesitation: "Go on, after all, that is what Riddle has been pursuing all his life. It is difficult for him to get around it, so he will have to come back sooner or later.

Moreover, even if it can't be used on him, it can still be used to train the little wizards, right?

If it is done according to the plan you submitted before, it can indeed exercise the willpower of the little wizards very effectively without causing them too much harm. "

Orolin nodded. Judging from Dumbledore's answer without thinking, he had already considered this question before, and he bluntly said that Voldemort would show up sooner or later, which meant that he also believed that Quirrell was himself. Sneaked out of Hogwarts, or in other words, he thought Quirrell was controlled by Voldemort and left temporarily.

In theory, the Philosopher's Stone should remain in Hogwarts for a while, at least until Voldemort gives up the Philosopher's Stone and will not be returned to Nico Flamel.

"What if he comes back with another identity?"

"I will pay attention, thank you for reminding me." Dumbledore nodded slightly.

"Are you discussing something interesting? Can you take me with you?" Catherine has a keen sense of smell as always, and she can always accurately find interesting things in a bunch of unclear words.

But Oralin was not going to tell her, lest the level he had worked so hard to arrange would be ruined by Catherine before Voldemort or the little wizard came to visit.

For a person like Catherine, who is single-minded, intuitive, and extremely destructive, she is almost immune to hallucinations and the like, and the means aimed at the soul prepared by Olorin are of no use at all.

For example, there are wonderful creatures like Boggart. At that time, Eurolin was still visiting Kodos Dorez, and then one night, when Catherine broke into the door on a routine basis, she accidentally locked the one that Eurolin had raised all year round. The Boggart in the box was released, but when facing Catherine, the Boggart committed suicide, causing Orolin to have to buy a new one as a spare.

Moreover, O'Loughlin, who did not believe in evil at the time, also cast the No. [-] spell on Catherine that he had taught Draco before. This dream magic he created could not only make people fall into fear, but also immerse them in happiness. But no matter how hard O'Loughlin tried, Catherine would wake up instantly every time, and the same was true for dreams within dreams, no matter how many layers of them there were.

Afterwards, O'Loughlin concluded that Catherine was the kind of person who was cowardly, heartless, and lived a very happy life every day. This kind of person had almost no spiritual weakness and could only use physical means to teach her a lesson.

"It's none of your business. You can think carefully about how to teach the young wizards to learn Defense Against the Dark Arts starting tomorrow." Orolin pushed Catherine's head away and looked at Dumbledore's bewildered smile. He's not going to reveal it either, so that's fine.

Catherine muttered, very dissatisfied, but Eurolin was quite intimidating to her. After all, it still hurt a lot to hit her forehead. Moreover, Catherine's eyes turned around several times, and finally settled on Dumbledore. .

But O'Loughlin would not give Catherine a chance to pester Dumbledore. He directly pulled Catherine to stand up and said, "If nothing happens, let's leave first."

Without waiting for Dumbledore's reply, he dragged Catherine downstairs. Catherine only had time to grab a handful of "cockroaches" from the pile of cockroaches and put them in her pocket.

Dumbledore watched the two people leave with a smile, but not long after, a note floated in front of him. The note read - Do not wear the ring.

That was something O'Loughlin didn't feel comfortable saying in front of Catherine. Dumbledore probably knew what it meant.

After leaving the principal's office, Catherine was quickly attracted by the magical portrait on the wall. Before leaving the eighth floor, she accidentally bumped into Trelawney who was sneaking around the corner.

"Sibyl!" Oralin frowned and looked at Trelawney, "Are you handling the bottle again?!"

"No! No! I didn't drink today!" Trelawney shook her head desperately, fearing that a special head-bubbly spell would be cast over her next moment.

"Then you..." Before O Luolin could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Catherine.

"Drinks! Where are the drinks?!" Catherine's nostrils were twitching wildly, and she was touching Trelawney's body, as if she wanted to search for a bottle of wine.

Seeing this, O'Loughlin closed his eyes and rubbed his temples with a rather painful expression. It was over. He forgot that Catherine was also a drinker who drank vodka instead of water at home. This time it was the female drunkard of Hogwarts who met Kodos. The female drunkard Dorez has joined forces.
