I'm Really an Alchemist

These memories cannot use magic, cannot be touched, and only retain memories and thoughts. They are the core of the Sorting Hat.

Zhou Qi tapped the table with his fingers, and four blank parchment books rose from the table.

The parchment book exploded with a suction force, and the four phantoms just landed on the ground, before they realized the situation, they were pulled by the huge suction force. To blend into the book, they tried their best to raise their heads, only to see a peaceful and smiling Asian youth.

Boo!

There was the sound of bubbles bursting in the air.

The four phantoms were integrated into the book respectively, and their memories, experiences, thinking, and knowledge were all absorbed by the book, and cartoon pictures appeared on the blank cover.

Gryffindor fighting beasts, Ravenclaw picking flowers in the forest, Hufflepuff looking for herbs, and Slytherin making potions.

"This is the wealth you should leave behind."

Zhou Qi picked up a book casually, curled his lips.

What's the use of leaving a memory, but it can show a sense of existence when Hogwarts changes, it's better to put the experience in a book, so that every Hogwarts student can read it.

Every book is their life.

Those who open the book will walk in the founder's story and follow him to learn and grow.

This is a rare textbook.

Not only can you obtain ancient magical knowledge, but you can also increase your knowledge and broaden your horizons. You can also hone your skills in the book world. Although there are dangers in it, you will not die. Zhou Qi intends to use these four books as a first-year enlightenment textbook .

He put the book aside, picked up the sorting hat, and made the final adjustments.

.....

New York JFK Airport.

As soon as Dumbledore got off the plane, he saw an acquaintance.

It was an English gentleman who looked older than him, and greeted him happily.

"Long time no see, Professor."

The white wizard sighed, "You're getting old too, Newt."

Newt was a little shy. Known as an expert on magical animals in the wizarding world, he was still a noteworthy student in front of Dumbledore, and the two never broke contact.

Grindelwald is also an enemy they beat together.

And now, forty-nine years later, they will join forces again against Grindelwald.

The two came directly to the Magic Congress.

The Magic Congress had also been waiting for a long time, and officials were sent to greet him at the door. Dumbledore walked in the Magic Congress, surrounded by curious young wizards.

Dumbledore is legendary everywhere.

"Call out the file about the Deathly Hallows Society!" The white wizard refused the Magic Congress's acceptance, and went directly to the Auror Department, requesting to call up Grindelwald's relevant information.

And only then did he discover that the Deathly Hallows Society had announced its disbandment the day before he came.

Grindelwald is missing.

"He must have heard that you were coming, so he ran away first!" A wizard said reverently.

Other wizards in the Magic Council thought so too.

Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why the Deathly Hallows Society was disbanded and Grindelwald disappeared as soon as Dumbledore came.

Only Dumbledore thought it was impossible. He knew Grindelwald. If he had been afraid of himself, the first magical world war would not have started more than forty years ago.

"He didn't want to confront me head-on, saying that New York is very important, and he broke up the association to preserve the main force."

With a solemn expression, Dumbledore dug out the files of the Auror Department and began to examine them carefully.

He could guess what Grindelwald was thinking. This old opponent would definitely be in a place where the Magic Congress was weak. Only there could he develop his power safely. Even if he came to him, he would not have much help.

Following this clue, Dumbledore found the Western Dossier.

Chapter 455 Chapter 96 Hogwarts Transformation

Pomona Toprout carried the suitcase and got off the Thestral carriage with some difficulty.

The castle gates were thrown open, and a house-elf stepped out, using levitation magic to relieve her stress.

"Thank you."

Pomona wiped her forehead with the corner of her clothes, and said to the flattered house elf, "I happen to be on vacation in Paris. This is a special product I bought, and it's your share."

The house-elf was delighted and humbled, grateful.

Hufflepuff and house-elves not only live close, but also have a very close relationship. Although other colleges do not discriminate against house-elves, they are not to the point of seeing each other. Only Hufflepuff treats house-elves as equals.

This has something to do with Hufflepuff's style.

"The principal is already waiting in the auditorium." The house elf took the suitcase from Pomona and whispered, "Most of the professors have already returned to Hogwarts."

Pomona was slightly taken aback, and asked hesitantly: "The principal you are talking about is—"

"Professor Ivan," answered the house-elf.

Pomona said nothing.

She already knew from newspapers and letters that Dumbledore was going to America and that Professor Ivan was acting as the headmaster, but she didn't expect Professor Ivan to be so popular with house elves.

Dumbledore hasn't retired yet?

Your principal has already called!

As the house elves came to the auditorium, it had been decorated magnificently and brightly lit. The professors stood or sat together, sharing the holiday and discussing the changes in Hogwarts.

Pomona watched for a week, and basically all the professors were there, but they didn't see Professor Ivan and McGonagall.

Professor Snape was still in the state of no one allowed in, sitting alone in his seat.

"I don't know when Professor Dumbledore will come back?"

"How did Professor Ivan become the acting principal..."

The topic of the professors gradually shifted to the acting principal. Pomona approached, greeted everyone, and naturally joined the discussion.

These professors who returned to school early were all surprised that Zhou Qi became acting principal.

But to say against it is out of the question.

After all, Zhou Qi has been with them for more than three years, and the relationship is already very harmonious, and there is no competition at Hogwarts, which makes them only surprised that Zhou Qi became the acting headmaster, but not jealous.

Pomona finds her chance, joking with the former head of Ravenclaw.

"Professor Flitwick, you said that Professor Ivan is really amazing. Not long after becoming the dean, he was promoted to the principal!"

Flitwick snorted softly: "It's just a proxy! As soon as Dumbledore comes back, he has to step aside!"

Flitwick still resented Zhou Qi for robbing him of the headmaster position, but he was not surprised that the Muggle musician became the acting headmaster of Hogwarts.

Perhaps it was the influence of Dumbledore's night of heart-to-heart talks with him last year.

Not long after, the rest of the professors gradually returned to school.

The last one to step into the auditorium turned out to be the shy half-giant Hagrid, who had been staying in Hodmog Village since he was temporarily expelled from Hogwarts last year because of the Buckbeak incident.

Didn't expect to come back now.

The professors asked about Hagrid, and they were all happy to learn that he had been reinstated by Professor Ivan and could continue to stay at Hogwarts.

It has to be said that Professor Ivan's move is very favorable.

The topic of the professors slowly shifted to the interesting things about the summer vacation. Laughter filled the auditorium. Snape, who was sitting silently at the side, was pulled by the enthusiastic and generous Pomona, and stiffly joined the discussion.

In this kind of laughter.

There was no change from four years ago, as if time had stopped on him, the Asian musician walked in through the side door, followed by the unsmiling Minerva McGonagall, who was half a step behind in a green robe.

"Professor Ivan!"

"Oh no, I'm going to call you the principal."

The professors greeted each other happily, and Zhou Qi responded briskly, without putting on airs as the principal.

He sat at the head of the table, Minerva on the left and Snape on the right.

The professors also found their seats and sat down, restrained their smiles, and looked at the acting principal seriously.

The acting principal knocked on the table, and while the lights were flickering, delicate food and wine appeared on the professor's table. Zhou Qi took the lead in holding up the wine glass to welcome the professors back to school.

The atmosphere came alive.

The professors also raised their glasses and congratulated him seriously or jokingly.

Zhou Qi drank it down in one gulp and put down his glass.

"The acting principal was really appointed in a crisis. I don't even know why Dumbledore chose me. Could it be because I look good?" Zhou Qi shook his head and sighed, taking advantage of the opportunity to make a joke.

The professors slapped their tables and laughed, feigning booing.

Seeing that Zhou Qi was not complacent because of becoming the acting principal, but still had a character they were familiar with, the professors finally found a sense of authenticity.

Does it matter who the acting principal is?

As long as Professor Ivan is still Professor Ivan.

Isn't that all right?

Among the laughter of the crowd, only Snape cut the lamb chops silently, and Minerva pursed her lips and said nothing.

"Okay." Zhou Qi stretched out his hand with a smile, and suppressed the laughter: "Since Professor Dumbledore chose me as the acting headmaster, I will always do my duty to prevent him from scolding me when he comes back."

"I invite you to return to school early, and I also want you to prepare in advance for the arrival of the new school year." Zhou Qi still smiled, but the meaning of his words changed a little.

Except for a few professors who heard the subtlety and restrained their laughter, the other professors haven't noticed it yet and are still happy.

"First of all, it is the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. It is really not easy to find a suitable professor." Zhou Qi clapped his hands and looked outside the door. Other professors followed his gaze.

The door of the auditorium opened, and a handsome young man with black hair walked in.

Wearing a gray wizard robe, he smiled and nodded in response to the staring gaze.

The laughter in the auditorium slowly subsided and disappeared.
