Hogwarts: What are the four great masters doing?

Dumbledore's eyes widened even more. He couldn't believe that his secrets had been exposed twice in such a short time!

"Mr. Hat, I'm afraid we'll have to talk later..."

He said in a deep voice.

So after a snap of fingers, the shelf where the Sorting Hat was located turned into a completely enclosed box.

"..."

"..."

After doing all this, Dumbledore and Ryan looked at each other.

The atmosphere in the office was awkward yet not awkward.

After a while, Ryan took the initiative to break the silence.

"Mr. Principal, won't you treat me to a limited edition candy?"

He took the initiative to ask about the most important things.

"..."

So, three minutes later.

Ryan chewed the candy in his mouth with satisfaction, secretly sighing that it tasted great.

"I didn't know Honeydukes had special commemorative candies... but they only come out every five years?"

"...Oh, Ryan, this is a sensitive question."

Dumbledore looked at the sweet thief in front of him warily.

So Ryan stopped asking questions and turned the subject back to the main topic: "I roughly understand the situation, Mr. Principal."

He knew that the information provided by the Sorting Hat should be correct.

If the tragedy associated with Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets occurred in 1943, then that would have been the most critical moment in the struggle between Dumbledore and Grindelwald.

The principal really must have no time for other things.

So Ryan immediately asked very politely: "Perhaps you could tell me who was the principal of the school at that time?"

As he asked, he looked at the portrait of the principal hanging on the wall.

"I'll have to ask him about the relevant information—if he has forgotten, I'll help him remember it."

After finding the Hufflepuff flower garden, he had already set the tone for his next actions.

As long as it is a legend related to the Big Four, no matter how unreliable it sounds, he will investigate it to the end!

This time it was even more so. Ryan couldn't bear the thought that Voldemort might have obtained Slytherin's treasure!

That's his thing, left to him by his teacher!

"Oh... Ryan, I don't think that's necessary."

Dumbledore said, "I don't know much about that incident, but even from what I know, Armando's investigation of the incident was not appropriate."

"He may not know much of the truth."

He was obviously criticizing his former principal in a subtle way, and he also felt a little sad.

Because this is also one of the mistakes he admits he has made in his life.

He was too busy and the principal at the time was too confused.

So much so that by the time he had time to investigate the matter, most of the evidence and relevant information had disappeared.

"In fact, apart from issuing a ban on students spreading nonsense, which resulted in a large number of clues being lost, he did almost nothing effective."

“If you really want to know something, the other person probably knows more.”

Hearing this, Ryan noted down the photo frame where Principal Armando was, but he was naturally curious: "Who?"

"Hagrid."

Then he heard Dumbledore's quiet reply.

Dumbledore said with some sadness: "In fact, he is the student who was expelled."

"???"

Then, Ryan's face showed unprecedented surprise.

"what?"

Ryan could hardly believe his ears.

"You mean Rubeus Hagrid? Was he educated? At Hogwarts?"

The image of the half-blood giant emerged in his mind - he had always thought that the other party had never been contaminated by knowledge.

So he expressed deep amazement and doubt.

"Let me state first that I have no problem with Hagrid, but I have to ask—Hogwarts' past teaching and admissions quality is very questionable!?"

He said in disbelief.

So soon, Ryan was gently asked to leave the office by Dumbledore.

Because the old wizard was one of the people whose "teaching quality was questionable" as Ryan said, and he was obviously angry and embarrassed by Ryan's sharp evaluation, and refused to listen to Ryan's explanation.

However, before sending Ryan away, the old wizard asked out of curiosity.

"Ryan, you just said that Slytherin created two ways for Horcruxes to be resurrected... What was the other one?"

he asked.

After hearing this, Ryan shook his head: "Oh, Principal - in fact, the second method of resurrection is almost impossible."

"It's an enhanced version of the first method of resurrection, but the conditions required are so harsh and evil... that even within Slytherin's research, it's only a theoretical existence."

Ryan shook his head and only mentioned it briefly.

"In addition to the most basic conditions remaining unchanged, that method of resurrection even requires the person who created the Horcrux to remain in the world as a wandering soul for at least 333 years - and this is just the simplest of its requirements."

It's not that he was negligent, but even Slytherin himself believed that the method of resurrection he had researched would never be realized.

And Ryan didn't think Voldemort could do it - he couldn't even meet the first condition.

Three hundred and thirty-three years later, Voldemort is only in his sixties now!

"Oh...that does sound harsh."

So Dumbledore didn't ask any more questions.

He said goodbye to Ryan and saw him out of the office.

It is worth mentioning that when leaving the office, Ryan was sure that he saw Dumbledore walking towards the box containing the Sorting Hat.

Ryan felt that Old Hat might not be able to sleep well tonight.

"Wish him good luck."

But Ryan had no intention of rescuing the old hat - not that he was disloyal, but Dumbledore would not do anything to the old hat. At most, he would let the elves wash it.

In fact, Ryan did think it needed a wash, as there were cobwebs on the brim of his hat.

On the contrary, Ryan himself still has a lot of things to do.

So he quickly returned to his dormitory.

As soon as he opened the door of the room, the white cat Friday jumped up immediately.

"Meow!"

"Meow!"

It meowed and bit Ryan's wizard robe excitedly.

"Oh, Friday... I have stuff to do, so I don't have time to play with you."

Ryan said helplessly.

"I need to think carefully about what happened today!"

There are so many things that happened today.

He saw Voldemort with his own eyes today and fought a great battle with him.

He met the mind of the Hufflepuff teacher today and obtained the treasure and authority she left behind.

He saved Harry today and exchanged a lot of key information with Dumbledore.

But it is worth mentioning that although a lot of things happened.

But Ryan was surprised to find that his body was still full of energy and vitality.

This ensured that his thinking was not slowed down or delayed by the busyness of the whole day.

This made him quickly realize the most important thing at the moment.

"I need to figure out what's going on with my body!"

This is undoubtedly the most important thing!

So, Ryan sat down on the edge of the bed.

When Friday saw this scene, he meowed and jumped away.

Ryan didn't care about the white cat's behavior.

He simply began to explore his body using his magic.

"According to the Hufflepuff teacher's idea, the Seed of Fertility should possess the properties of all magical plants and extremely powerful life magic... This is consistent with my feelings."

"It rained today and the weather was cold, but I didn't feel anything while walking along... This is enough to prove that my body at least has the ability to adapt to low temperatures, which is the characteristic of the snow banyan tree."

"I should also have the characteristics of the guardian tree. The effects of curses and black magic on me will be weakened, but the exact degree of weakening still needs experimentation."

As he continued to analyze, his heart grew warmer.

Hufflepuffs behaved as usual.

Her treasure did not bring Ryan too much power, but the purest self-protection and healing ability.

The characteristics of the various magical plants and their extremely strong vitality made it almost impossible to kill them.
