The Ancient Wizards of Hogwarts

Listening to Dumbledore's narration, Ash Black's face showed an expression that seemed to be from another world. Because to him, the 'history' that Dumbledore mentioned a hundred years ago seemed to have happened yesterday.

"Wait a minute, let me take a moment."

Ash Black rubbed his temples and stood there without moving for a long time, as if it was difficult to accept the reality.

But in reality, he was thinking about his situation.

Ash Black is an ordinary traveler from the Celestial Dynasty who has a good reputation.

Different from traditional methods of time travel such as dump truck and electric shock, he suddenly time travel while playing "Hogwarts Legacy"——

The good news is that he is traveling through the world of Hogwarts, and as a time traveler, he knows the plot well.

The bad news is that he traveled through Hogwarts at the end of the 19th century, which is more than a hundred years behind the timeline of the main game.

Of course, this did not prevent him from enrolling in Hogwarts and learning magic.

And when Ash heard Dumbledore tell the history of "the hero Black and Ranlock died together to protect Hogwarts," his expression became a little subtle... because this was actually a wonderful misunderstanding.

Under the premise that he is familiar with the plot and can give full play to his subjective initiative without being restricted by the game framework, the final boss Lanlock in the game cannot pose any substantial threat to Ash. Instead, he is imprisoned underground by Ash and cooperates with him. Do some experiments that are not so accepted by the wizarding world——

For example, artificially crossing the blood of Veela and wizards, or studying how to use magic to achieve immortality or eternal youth... In Ash's eyes, these experiments have the same epoch-making significance as Mendel's hybrid experiments. But he also knows that it is difficult for the rigid wizarding world to accept all this, so he has been secretly looking for volunteers to improve the research.

The reason why the ruins collapsed and why Ash was 'rejuvenated' was because of a failed experiment.

Of course, judging from the results, the experiment is not a failure.

After all, this brought him to 1991 by accident, which was the year the main story took place.

Good news, I met Dumbledore when I landed.

Bad news, he is from the Snake Yard.

After a long time, Ash seemed to finally accept the reality. He raised the large sleeve hanging down on his right hand, looked at the tall old man with a white beard and asked:

"So, Principal Dumbledore, can you explain why I am like this?"

"I have no idea."

Dumbledore shook his head and then said:

"This may be caused by out-of-control ancient magic, but I don't know much about ancient magic."

He was actually a little surprised, because the historical hero Black was still a student at Hogwarts when he was 'sacrificed', and he must have been sixteen or seventeen years old.

But what emerged from the purple crystal was a boy who was only eleven or twelve years old!

One hundred years have passed, but Ash Black has become several years younger. Something doesn't look right.

Dumbledore originally thought it was Ash's own fault, but judging from his stunned reaction, it should have been caused by an accident in that battle.

And since it was an accident, there was no need to get into it.

Dumbledore thought so, and Ash hoped he thought so.

Ash turned his gaze to Snape and said:

"Professor Snape, could you lend me your wand?"

Snape glanced at Dumbledore, who's silence was regarded as acquiescence. Snape then handed over his wand, and then he saw Ash gesture with the wand against his clothes.

In the next second, the clothes that were a little too big and bloated for the current Ash quickly shrank and fit his current figure perfectly.

"Silent spell casting?" Snape's expression moved slightly, and he quickly made a judgment on Ash's strength in his heart - he was a very talented wizard, but not high enough, at least he couldn't cast a spell without a wand. .

As for the magic used by Ash, Snape didn't take it to heart. After all, the magic of making clothes smaller was not worthy of attention.

"Thank you." Ash politely thanked Snape as he returned the wand to Snape.

Snape did not speak, but nodded slightly in response.

His first impression of Ash was not bad, but it would be a bit awkward to say hello - age-wise, Ash was a hundred years older than him. But from the appearance point of view, the other party is just a little boy of eleven or twelve years old after all. He is still deciding what attitude to use and how to address the other party.

"Same as Professor Figo's assessment." Dumbledore looked on and silently commented in his heart.

When Snape took the wand, he smiled and said:

"I'm sure you have a lot of questions, but maybe let's go to my office first and talk slowly over some tea."

Ash did not refuse the offer and left the map secret room with them, returning to the principal's office through Floo.

Ash looked at the furnishings in the office and said with some emotion:

"More than a hundred years later, this place is still almost the same."

“Actually, it’s more than just the office.”

Dumbledore poured him a cup of black tea and smiled kindly:

"The entire Hogwarts is like this. It's almost exactly the same as it was a hundred years ago. I believe you won't feel strange here at all."

"Oh! Look who this is? The hero of Hogwarts, a true Slytherin!"

Exaggerated exclamations sounded from behind several people, which came from a portrait on the wall.

The portrait shows an old man with a goatee, wearing silver and green Slytherin clothes.

That was Phineas Black, the former Headmaster of Hogwarts.

At this time, he was proudly showing off to the other portraits around him, looking like he wanted to be known to the whole world.

Everyone present knew very well why the principal was so excited.

Because Phineas Black is the only headmaster in the history of Hogwarts who was born in Slytherin, and he has always been proud of it. But what bothered him was that there was no other Slytherin worth showing off to.

Now that Ash has finally appeared, and his last name is Black, doesn't the principal have to blow hard?

However.

This headmaster is not only the only headmaster born in Slytherin, but also the most unpopular headmaster. Almost no students like him.

As for Ash, he didn't like the principal very much, but he didn't dislike him either.

so--

"Dumbledore."

Ash showed an obvious expression of disgust, looked at Dumbledore and asked:

"Can Hogwarts be re-transferred?"

"No! You can't do this!" cried Phineas Black.

"There is no precedent for this at Hogwarts."

Dumbledore shook his head, but changed the topic the next second:

"But you are not considered a student of Hogwarts now. In a few days, it will be the day for freshmen to enroll. You can enroll with the freshmen, um, so that the Sorting Hat can re-sort you into a house."

Dumbledore was smiling. He was very supportive of the Slytherin who had won the title of 'Hero of Hogwarts' in his choice of resorting.
