time at hogwarts

"Here we are, Sauron. You can walk around by yourself. You can't see the bar. You don't have to open your eyes so wide. Remember, you must keep secrets about the magic world, otherwise even I won't be able to eat it. ." Magos stood at the door of the bookstore and looked at the somewhat curious Sauron.

"I know, young master, I will definitely not let the third person know." Sauron returned with a serious face after hearing this.

Magos nodded and walked towards the bar. Although Sauron had met him several times, he was still curious about how a living person could suddenly disappear.But he easily suppressed his curiosity and walked over pretending not to care.

As soon as Magos entered the bar and took a few steps, he felt something was wrong with the atmosphere. It wasn't that there were too few people, but there were a lot of people. Although it wasn't full, it was almost there.What felt wrong was that it was almost the same as when he came here for the first time. The whole bar was silent and almost everyone was looking at him.Magos looked at this scene with some confusion, not knowing what happened.

'Don't they all know that I didn't let Sauron erase his memory?How long has it been?It's too exaggerated.So did my plan go to waste? . ' Magos thought with disappointment and doubt in his heart.

He slowly took a few steps forward, and suddenly, everyone applauded.Everyone looked at him with a hint of appreciation or even admiration.This made Magos feel relieved and confused at the same time. Why did it feel a bit like Harry Potter? Maybe they had made a mistake.

"Um, hello everyone, did you recognize the wrong person?" He greeted awkwardly.

"They did not recognize the wrong person. We are so lucky today. It is a rare occasion that we met our little hero, Mr. Magos Will." A tall and thin old man stood up and said with a chuckle.He has long auburn hair, blue eyes that seem to be able to see through the person in front of him, he wears a pair of half-moon glasses, a long hooked nose that seems to have been broken, and a long silver-white beard.

Seeing the old man Magos dragging his purple robe in front of him, he was stunned for a moment.

"D-d-Dumbledore??"

"Oh, it seems that our little hero knows me. What an honor. Nice to meet you, Mr. Will." Dumbledore didn't mind at all that Magos called him by his name rudely and still said in a cheerful tone. arrive.

The last hesitation in Magos's mind was eliminated by Dumbledore's answer.

"Principal Dumbledore, is it really you? I didn't expect to meet you here. You are my idol. I'm sorry for my rude behavior just now. I was too excited."

He shouted with wide eyes and an excited tone.

"Don't be so excited. In fact, I am no different from an ordinary wizard, you see." As he spoke, he waved his hands and puffed up his chest, and a burst of laughter broke out around him.

"But you, it's really unbelievable. A little wizard who is not yet 11 years old, was born in a Muggle family and has not received any education from school. When he met two extremely vicious adult wizards, he saw his companions in crisis. , risking one's life, it is so great, so touching, you are very brave, really." Dumbledore looked at Magos with very happy eyes.

Magos was a little embarrassed and said it was nothing. He was too nervous at the time and didn't think much about it.After he finished speaking, he asked them a little strangely how they knew.

Before Dumbledore could speak, an elderly wizard said behind him:

"Child, have you not paid attention to the news in the magical world these days? Have you not even read the newspaper?"

After hearing this, Magos remembered that he seemed to have forgotten to order the newspaper. He was a little embarrassed and said that he had forgotten to order the Daily Prophet. He had been attending a Muggle school these days and forgot about it.The wizards around him looked at him speechlessly, but they still enthusiastically showed him the newspapers of the past two weeks.

The Ministry of Magic has successfully arrested two wizards who have committed numerous crimes!This was a newspaper from two weeks ago. McGoss was barely mentioned in it, except for a single sentence.

How about...judgment!The next day's newspaper mainly reported how many crimes the two men had committed (actually it was Reagan alone, but the newspaper didn't care), especially the details of the torture and murder of Durmstrang's students. McGoss watched. They all had the urge to kill those two scumbags directly.

The newspapers in the following week almost all reported the cries and pain of the families of the Durmstrang students who were tortured and murdered. It was very sad to read and made people even more hostile to the two murderers.

Then there was the report that the Ministry of Magic agreed to hand over the two prisoners to the families of the victims. Magos clapped his hands and cheered.

After this incident passed, people suddenly became interested in the little wizard who appeared in the incident, and newspapers began to report news about him, but...

A mysterious wizard?

The power of Muggle wizards!

The little wizard and his powerful magic!

Brave, fearless Mr. Will!

Self-taught, super genius, brave and invincible!

……

……

This is the headline of the Daily Prophet’s news about Magos. The content inside is also very flattering. It is no exaggeration to say that every word is

He was extremely taunting and extremely hateful. In the end, it was Magos who defeated the two adult wizards on his own and handed them over to the Ministry of Magic.Looking at it, Magos himself felt that he was so good that he could challenge Voldemort alone.

"This, these are too exaggerated. How could I defeat two adult wizards? I just discovered them and were beaten to a pulp by them. If I hadn't been saved by a wizard later, I would no longer be here." Mago Si pointed at the title on the newspaper and said blankly to all the wizards in the bar.

"Of course, of course, newspapers always exaggerate, but I think they are right about one thing, that is, the brave is invincible." Dumbledore said to Magos with deep meaning.

Magos felt that Dumbledore's attitude towards him had changed a little, as if he recognized him, which made him feel strange. When had he been so sensitive?

"But, sir, I wasn't as brave as the newspapers said. After that..." McGoss tried to explain that he was actually scared.

"Everyone will be afraid, everyone will shrink back, be afraid, but not everyone can fight back in your situation at that time, and explode with incredible strength for your friends. Child, being too modest is pride." Seeing that Magos still wanted to defend, Dumbledore said the last sentence.

"Okay, although my mind was blank at the time." Magos looked helplessly at Dumbledore, who admired him very much, and whispered.

Dumbledore raised his glass and said to the other wizards in the bar as if he hadn't heard anything:

"Let's raise a toast to our little hero."

"Okay." "Do it." The wizards around him happily raised their glasses to drink.It was as if they were the protagonists in the newspaper.

"Thank you, thank you." Magos kept bowing to the crowd to thank him.The wizards around him smiled in return.Until Dumbledore pulled him away.Although they would still glance at him from time to time, this was much better than the attention just now.

"You don't seem to like everyone's admiration for you?" Dumbledore said casually, looking at Magos.

"No, actually I'm quite happy, but I feel a little awkward. I'm not as good as the newspapers said." McGoss looked embarrassed.

"You are very honest. It is difficult for someone at your age to be able to withstand the temptation of being admired. Most of them will become more and more arrogant." The blue eyes through the half-moon glasses seemed to see through Magos's mind. .

"It's okay. I don't like being noticed by everyone. It makes me feel nervous because I know I don't have the strength. Of course, I don't care if I really defeat those two wizards on my own." A confident smile appeared on Magos's face.

"I have taught many students," Dumbledore looked at him seriously, "but none of them are like you. I seem to see the qualities of the four founders of Hogwarts all gathered in you." This. The compliment was so great that Magos was a little confused.

"However," Dumbledore changed his tone. Seeing that he wanted to remind him, Magos listened carefully.

"Many things, including people, will change when they don't really become what people think. No one can really guess how it will end. I'm glad you didn't get carried away by the description in the newspaper. You It’s good to know your abilities and admit your shortcomings. The butterbeer here is great. Let me have a sip. Do you want one?”

"Huh? No, I can't drink yet, thank you." The sudden change in style made Magos stunned for a moment before he remembered to answer.

"Oh, yes, you're not of age yet, Tom, give our little hero a drink."

"Okay. Headmaster Dumbledore."

"You may need to wait. Everyone was very excited just now, and Tom is busy now."

"No, it's nothing, I'm not thirsty now." Magos returned hurriedly.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not that scary (Dumbledore made a funny face, Magos was amused), where did I just say? By the way, you are great. I think you may understand Go to Hogwarts." Seeing Magos nodding, he continued: "I wonder if you have noticed that the Muggle family wizards who go to Hogwarts are all born in very ordinary Muggle families, even if there are a few who are relatively wealthy. The difference is only in career, there is no very wealthy family or Muggle aristocrat."

"That's because they don't believe it." McGoss looked confused.

"Don't believe it? Yes, there is a reason for this. After seeing the admission letter, many people either regarded it as a prank or thought it was a fraudulent letter and threw it away. Some of them could not find the name Hogwarts in the Muggle world. The school gave up, even though we clearly told them the location in the letter. You know, we can't force them to come to school. But the biggest reason is not this."

"what is that?"

"As rich as the country, as powerful as the sky. Immortal, dehumanizing. I think you will understand."

Dumbledore didn't answer but just said this.

Magos' drink was served, but he didn't drink it. He just stared at Dumbledore blankly.The words just now seemed to appear in my ears again...
