Chapter 550 Teachers and Students 2

In the early morning, the sun's bright light pierced through the thick clouds like a golden sword and sprinkled on the Hogwarts Castle.

A new day has begun.

Usually at this time, students should get up one after another and start a new day's class.

But today, the Hogwarts Castle is unusually quiet.

Because almost everyone is lying in the Hogwarts Hall and sleeping soundly.

Yesterday's banquet was so crazy that they just fell asleep not long ago.

Several owls who came to deliver letters flew into the hall and looked at the sleeping students on the ground in confusion.

They couldn't understand why these humans hadn't gotten up until now, but this didn't stop them from doing bad things after work.

"Bang!"

A muffled sound came, and a package was thrown down by an owl and hit its recipient's face heavily.

But this still didn't wake up the Gryffindor student. He just muttered twice and turned around to continue sleeping.

Seeing this, the owls looked at each other and quickly decided to take further action.

Throwing excrement bombs!

But just as they began to build up their emotions and prepare to launch the bombs, the space in the center of the auditorium suddenly rippled, and then Mike suddenly appeared in the auditorium.

He was still wearing a black Hogwarts robe, which was embellished with some blue ornaments representing Ravenclaw College.

The reason why he wore it like this was entirely the instinct that Mike had instilled in him after years of living in Hogwarts.

He had feelings for Hogwarts. No matter how he made trouble outside, once he came to Hogwarts, he would change into school robes and become an ordinary student.

This sudden scene scared the owls, and they didn't care about throwing excrement bombs, and turned around and flew out of the auditorium.

Mike didn't care about the naughty messengers. He carefully shuttled through the auditorium full of people, confirming the safety of his friends.

Fortunately, Chris's target was not them, so most of them were safe and sound. Even if someone was injured, the injury was not serious, which can be seen from the fact that they could continue to attend the banquet with bandages.

When Mike found Harry and the other two, the expression on his face suddenly became strange.

At this moment, Hermione was sleeping on the long table, and her appearance was very similar to Sleeping Beauty.

Of course, it would be better if there was no saliva dripping from the corners of her mouth.

As for Harry and Ron, the two of them slept on the ground, hugging each other.

To be precise, Ron was wrapped around Harry like an octopus.

And no one knew what Ron was dreaming about. At this moment, he was kissing Harry's side face with an intoxicated look on his face. The scene made people feel a little disgusted.

With a chuckle and shaking his head, Mike quickly left the hall and entered the floating stairwell leading to the eighth floor of Hogwarts.

At this time, the smile on Mike's face disappeared, replaced by a look of indifference.

He walked through the long staircase and corridor and arrived at the door of the principal's office very smoothly.

On this way, he did not see any figure. Everyone, even the ghosts and portraits, participated in the grand banquet last night, which resulted in them not waking up yet.

In front of the principal's office, the stone statue of the monster was still missing, and the deep stone door leading to the office was open.

Mike did not show any surprise at this. He twisted his neck, making a series of "creaking" sounds, and then stepped in.

In the office, a man in a dress was lying behind the desk with his eyes closed, looking like he was asleep. The phoenix Fawkes was still curled up in his arms and sleeping peacefully. Everything was the same as last night.

On the walls of the office, the portraits of the former principals were also sleeping.

This was normal. They had existed for too long, so long that they felt bored and could only rely on sleep to spend the next long time.

Of course, Dumbledore's portrait did not sleep. He had just been created and was still in a stage full of curiosity about the world.

Just like now, he was looking at Mike with his eyes, and at the same time he was mumbling something that Mike couldn't understand.

His mumbling woke up the phoenix Fawkes in Dumbledore's arms.

But unlike in the past, this time it didn't fly directly to Mike to ask him for food, but got out of Dumbledore's arms, stood in front of Dumbledore and looked at Mike vigilantly.

Seeing this, Mike smiled lightly, and without saying a word, he pulled out a chair and sat opposite Dumbledore.

At this time, Dumbledore was finally awakened.

He opened his somewhat turbid blue eyes and stared at Mike in a daze.

When he saw Mike's indifferent expression, Dumbledore's expression tightened, but after seeing clearly that Mike was wearing a Hogwarts school robe, a smile rose in his eyes again.

"You're finally here, Mike, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Dumbledore said with a smile, pointing to the pile of candies on the desk and said, "Come on, don't be polite, try them, they're all good stuff. Alas, it's a pity that my body can't digest these things now, so I can only satisfy my craving by watching you young people eat them."

Mike didn't touch the candies on the desk. He looked at Dumbledore's dress, which was simple but very exquisite, and said,

"Have you guessed that I would come?"

Dumbledore listened to Mike's words with a smile, without any change on his expression. He said very freely and casually,

"Of course, with what happened between us, you would definitely come to me. In fact, you came later than I expected. I thought you would come to me as soon as you came back."

As he spoke, Dumbledore took out a wand from his pocket with difficulty. The wand was thick at the bottom and thin at the top, with an uneven surface and several round wooden knots, and placed it in front of Mike.

"You will face more severe challenges next. I think this should be of help to you."

"Elderberry Wand!"

Looking at the wand in front of him, Mike shouted out involuntarily.

"You know?!" Dumbledore shouted excitedly, "That's great! I can save the trouble of explaining to you. You know, I'm not in a good state to say too much now."

Mike nodded, but didn't speak.

At this moment, he was carefully recalling the information about the elder wand.

The elder wand, like the resurrection stone and the invisibility cloak of the god of death, is a deathly hallow.

According to the records of the Tales of Beedle the Bard, it is a magical wand made by the god of death using elder and delivered to the elder Peverell.

Those who possess it can gain unparalleled power and become invincible.

At the same time, there are many ancient legends that record that if someone can collect three deathly hallows at the same time, then he can defeat death!

There is no doubt that this wand is definitely the most powerful artifact in the world!

Many people believe that the reason why Dumbledore has been able to suppress Voldemort for so many years is entirely due to the power given to him by this wand!

But in fact, Mike didn't have much interest in it before.

After all, legends are just legends. According to the information collected by Mike, the so-called three deathly hallows were not made by the god of death as described in the Tales of Beedle the Bard. Their real makers were actually the ancient Peverell family.

The reason why there are legends about the three deathly hallows is only because the Peverell family at that time was so powerful that it was beyond the understanding of ordinary people. People had to associate their power with the gods and ghosts.

Since the elder wand was not made by the god of death, it is also questionable whether it has the power of the legend.

If you don't believe it, go and read the original book. Although everyone in it is crazy about the powerful magic of the elder wand, does it really show any extraordinary power?

It seems that there is no?

Another reason is that the elder wand has always been controlled by Dumbledore. No one in the world dares to say that they can snatch this wand from Dumbledore, the greatest wizard of this century.

In summary, the temptation of the elder wand to Mike is not that great.

But this did not prevent Mike from taking the wand.

After all, if the legend is true, wouldn't he make a fortune?

Dumbledore obviously did not expect Mike to think so much in such a short time, but he obviously did not care much about how Mike saw the wand.

He just calmed down his excitement a little and said to Mike solemnly:

"Mike, I want to apologize to you for what I did before, please forgive me."

"Isn't it too late to beg for mercy now?"

Mike smiled contemptuously.

In his impression, Dumbledore is definitely the most respected wizard in the world, and such a great and powerful man is now apologizing to him for the sake of survival.

This made Mike feel extremely angry!

"This is not a plea for mercy, but a sincere confession from my heart." Dumbledore shook his head and said, "The future belongs to you. No matter how hard we old bones try, we can't change this. What I want to say is that you are a kind and good person. I hope you can treat the world gently.

Once upon a time, my friends and I thought we were omnipotent like you and acted recklessly in this world. But after making a series of serious and irreparable mistakes, we realized it. This world is very fragile, so fragile that it will become fragmented if you squeeze it hard.

Child, I know you are very eager to change the world now, but believe me, it will cause you heavy losses. Sometimes, walking slower can often bring more beauty."

Mike wanted to laugh.

At this time, the other party was still lecturing him.

Chuckling and shaking his head, Mike raised his right hand, and a cluster of cursed flames that seemed real and illusory suddenly appeared.

Mike stretched his right hand forward so that Dumbledore could see more clearly.

At the same time, under Mike's urging, the malicious and ominous breath in the cursed flame gushed out, and instantly swept the entire office.

Feeling this breath, Dumbledore's brows frowned involuntarily.

Seeing this, Mike's mouth corners rose more and more.

"Now, do you still think I'm a kind person?"

Mike said with a smile, and then turned his head to look at the phoenix Fawkes who was attacking him and said:

"Look, even Fawkes doesn't agree with what you said."

Looking at the quietly burning cursed flame, Dumbledore's eyes were a little complicated, but in the end he said:

"Mike, power has no good or evil, people are good and bad. Just like a knife, is it a bad knife just because it has been used to kill people? So, I still stick to my opinion of you, you are a kind person."

Mike shook his head, he felt that the Dumbledore in front of him was already old and confused.

Dumbledore obviously knew that he could not convince Mike, so he sighed and pushed the elder wand towards Mike and said:

"Okay, take this wand, and then use it to kill me. This is the last thing I can do for you, and it is also my apology to you."

Mike was silent after hearing this.

Looking at the sincere expression on the other's face, Mike really didn't know what to say.

Dumbledore was a great man. As the headmaster, he had given Mike immense care and help when he was in the most difficult time.

As a student of Hogwarts, Mike respected him, appreciated him and loved him.

So he never thought of killing Dumbledore.

Even though Dumbledore did such excessive things to him and made him suffer so much, he was still unwilling to kill Dumbledore.

If possible, Mike really wanted Dumbledore to live in peace, preferably like Nick Flamel, who lived for hundreds or thousands of years, so that when Mike was done, he could find a sunny afternoon to talk with Dumbledore.

But he didn't want to say it out loud, because his proud character would never allow him to be open-hearted to the other party, which he thought was too stupid.

So, Mike was silent for a long time before panting and making a vicious expression and saying:

"I won't kill you. Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. Once I kill you, I will become the enemy of the entire Hogwarts. All those who have received your kindness and still remember your kindness will hate me!

Besides, death is not a terrible thing for you, right? I think compared to death, letting you continue to live as a useless person and slowly rot is the heaviest punishment!"

Dumbledore stared at Mike in a daze, as if he was shocked by Mike's speech.

The portraits of the past headmasters on the wall woke up at some point, staring at the two people in the office with indifferent eyes. Even Dumbledore's fool portrait stopped the action in his hands and covered his eyes in fear.

As for the phoenix Fawkes, it was relieved of its alert posture at this moment, and a trace of sadness flashed in its eyes that stared at Dumbledore in a very human way.

Time seemed to stop at this moment.
