The Periodic Table of Words at Hogwarts

Chapter 189 A long conversation by the fire

"Crackling"!

The soft pine wood burned in the fireplace, making crackling sounds from time to time.

Astoria was having dinner with her sister in the auditorium, and the Slytherin students were sitting around them, cheering.

Even the little lions, who had been estranged from the Snake Yard for several days, took the initiative to come over and frequently greeted the Greengrass sisters.

Heroes have no borders.

However, few people noticed that Zhang Qi quietly left the banquet after greeting several people.

At the same time, Dumbledore also walked down from the high platform after eating for a while, and he didn't know where he went.

At this moment, the two people who were looking for each other in the auditorium were sitting silently in the principal's office, staring at each other and listening to the sound of firewood popping in the fireplace.

"I thought, you found me here so late, you didn't just want me to come here to warm myself by the fire, right?"

The two were silent for a long time, and Zhang Qi took the lead and reluctantly opened the topic.

"you've changed".

Dumbledore looked at the boy in front of him carefully.

If this child had left an impression on Dumbledore that he was young and immature, after the Chamber of Secrets incident, he was given a slightly more dangerous label.

However, Dumbledore could still clearly feel that comparing the time when he was guiding the surgery with now, the child's aura had changed again.

Although this feeling is somewhat unclear, Dumbledore believes that his intuition has not faded due to age.

If I must say it, this child has some of the temperament of an old friend, but compared to that old friend, he is a little less crazy.

"People will always change. If everyone does not change because of things, then this person will most likely die miserably."

Zhang Qi answered without hesitation.

"I'm old and can't keep up with the thinking of young people like you. After all, the era still belongs to you."

Dumbledore sighed, and then picked up a book on the table with some difficulty.

"This is an ancient book found in Salazar Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets. I think it should belong to you."

After Zhang Qi saw the book, he suddenly felt a chill all over his body, as if the book was something terrifying.

"I don't feel very good about this book."

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Qi opened his mouth and said.

"Yes, so I don't intend to hand it to you now. If you want to refer to this book, at least wait until you are almost an adult."

Dumbledore nodded and put the book away.

"This is an ancient dark magic book collected by Mr. Salazar Slytherin. It contains many vicious curses in detail, so I don't recommend you to refer to it."

"But the first wizard who invented the blood curse is a descendant of the author of this book, so if we want to completely eradicate the curse in Miss Greengrass, we must refer to it."

"Ok".

Zhang Qi nodded and decided not to tell Dumbledore for the time being that the blood curse in Astoria's body had been completely removed.

Anyway, this old man will find out sooner or later, so it is better to hide the matter for a while so that he can take a good look at this book.

Such exciting books may not be found in the collections of pure-blood nobles.

"I think you must be more than this."

Zhang Qi yawned and continued to ask casually:

"I guess you still want to ask me what exactly we saw in that abandoned building that day."

"Yes, child, if you don't mind, I hope you can describe to me the undead creature you saw. The more detailed the better."

Dumbledore nodded.

"It was a strange creature made entirely of carrion. Its initial form was similar to two people cut in half and then spliced ​​together. There was a huge feeding mouth in its abdomen."

"As for when it was later in the slaughterhouse, the monster had devoured the bodies of several pigs and turned into a fleshy jelly about, well, the size of two Hagrids. Its movement also changed from being able to fly on the wall. Running, I could only move slowly on the ground."

When he said this, Zhang Qi showed an expression of extreme disgust on his face.

"That thing is really disgusting, but it seems to be afraid of flames and China's enchanted bullets. And after sunrise, the disgusting pieces of flesh it left on the ground all dry up and burn. It seems that the sun can also have a certain effect on it. Impact".

"Yes, until now, I am still surprised that China has conquered such an important alchemical research project - you know, Mr. Nico Flamel has tried to create alchemical bullets more than once, but he always failed to achieve the expected results. ".

Dumbledore nodded.

“When everyone works together, nothing is impossible.”

Zhang Qi shrugged his shoulders and said meaningfully.

"It's very good that the British Ministry of Magic can do what it is now. Don't be too demanding on them."

Dumbledore also shook his head helplessly.

This child's contempt for authority really looks more and more like his old friend.

"By the way, Principal Dumbledore, please take my place and pay the highest respect to Mr. Nico Flamel. Astoria really wanted to thank him in person. Unfortunately, after the anesthesia wore off, Nico Flamel Sir has left China with you."

"Nico just did what he thought was right to atone for the murderous karma he created when he was young."

Dumbledore picked up his wand and waved it. A huge box flew over from behind his chair, and then landed gently on the table.

"Want some?"

Dumbledore asked, then grabbed a handful of small golden balls about the size of a table tennis ball and handed them to Zhang Qi.

"I like this Muggle chocolate shop very much. Besides this one, there is also a triangle-shaped one that is also delicious."

"Thank you, Headmaster Dumbledore."

Zhang Qi took the handful of Ferrero Rocher, then casually picked up one and ate it, and put the rest into his arms.

This thing is extremely expensive, and I have never bought one in my previous life except as a gift during the New Year.

The only time I ate it was at a colleague's wedding. I paid 500 yuan for it, and there were two of these wedding candies.

"By the way, Mr. Hilbert, Professor Snape missed you very much while you were recuperating with Miss Greengrass."

"Go and have more contact with him when you have free time. Professor Snape and your mother were friends when they were students. He prepared the potions used in this operation. I think he deserves a thank you."

"Of course, Professor Dumbledore".

Zhang Qi nodded and replied.
