He easily opened the door without alerting Fox.
The cabinet door was not locked because there was something safer than a lock - a maze of memories of past principals.
In the cabinet was a shallow stone basin with strange carvings on the rim: letters and symbols that he would never have recognized if he had not become a warrior - Saxon runes.
This is also a kind of rune, an Anglo-Saxon rune.
The stone basin is a Pensieve, and it is the first time he has seen it (in the movie version, Harry has not seen a Pensieve in his fourth year).
And the silver light inside, that indistinguishable like a piece of bright silver, is constantly flowing; like ripples on the water in the breeze, and like clouds that spread out and swirl softly; like light turning into liquid, and like wind that condenses into solid, is memory.
The real Sorting Hat is hidden inside.
("What is this?" Ron asked.)
("Penney Basin." Hermione's pupils dilated, and she leaned completely on Basil. "A precious magic item that contains powerful and complex magic, usually made of metal and stone. It is very rare because only the most powerful wizards will use them, and because most wizards are afraid to use it.")
("What are you talking about?" Ron said, not understanding.)
(Hermione had long been accustomed to Ron's ignorance, and began to spout knowledge, "Because the magic of the Pensieve will present the memory vividly, using every detail buried in the subconscious to faithfully reproduce the memory, thereby allowing the owner of the memory or a second party to enter the memory and move within it.)
("This is also what most wizards fear.")
(“Anyone who has something to hide, is ashamed of their past, desires secrecy, or wants to protect privacy will inevitably be more wary of the Pensieve.”)
(“Thus, a wizard’s Pensieve, like their wand, is considered a very personal item and is buried with the person, and any thoughts or memories stored in the Pensieve are buried with the owner unless otherwise requested.”)
("Also, using a Pensieve to review and organize thoughts is much more difficult than recalling memories, and only a few wizards have this ability.")
("I see," Ron felt the knowledge flowing through his brain without leaving any trace, "If that's it, why are you so excited?")
("That's it?" Hermione was a little unbelievable. "This Pensieve is not Dumbledore's personal property, but belongs to the school. This means that all the headmasters of the past generations have used it for a long time, and they have also left their life experiences in the form of memory!")
("What does this mean?" Ron's eyes flickered with innocence that had not been tainted by knowledge.)
("What does it mean?" Hermione almost gasped, "It means that it itself is a precious book that records the most intuitive history. No, it is a precious library provided to the current headmasters!")
("Oh," Ron shrugged. "So that's it.")
Unknown to Harry, Ron and Hermione had been arguing over the Pensieve in front of him.
He leaned straight down, his head completely inside the cabinet.
In the wizarding world, it is extremely foolish to put your hand into a basin filled with unknown objects, let alone put your face directly close to it.
But he already knew what it was beforehand.
"The Shadowless Monster's invisibility is truly complete."
The silver object in the basin still retains its original appearance.
Harry, who had been taught everything about the Pensieve by Lily, knew that when magic power was input or when intelligent life approached, the silver object, which was the memory itself, would begin to spin rapidly, starting with the surface and eventually turning the entire thing into a transparent glass-like texture.
Then, a memory appears.
The memory of the Sorting Hat is hidden in the sea of thousands of memories left by successive headmasters.
But now, he was so completely invisible that even the memory and the Pensieve could not detect his presence at such a close distance.
'How do I get it to react?'
'Remove the cloak? Will this allow Fox to find you?'
'Just take the Pensieve?'
'How can I find the right memory among so many?'
The audience could not tell what Harry was thinking, but it was different for Lily. Without Harry hiding his thoughts, these thoughts sounded more like questions to her.
"Thoughts, unwavering thoughts," Lily said. "Knowing that the Sorting Hat is in there means success."
"It is true that there may be thousands of memories related to the Sorting Hat in it, but you just have to think about getting it. This is difficult for other wizards in this world, but it is different for you, Harry."
"You are a magic fairy, a magic fairy transformed into a magical spirit."
"Your magic is both your raft of immortality and a manifestation of your true self."
"You just need to inject your magic and it will give the right response."
'Infuse magic,' Harry thought in amazement. 'That simple?'
So, Harry, who was still in the form of a shadow monster, placed his hand on the edge of the basin and began to inject the elf magic power.
The memories in the Pensieve began to rotate as Lily said, and turned into a transparent substance.
‘Success! ’
Harry leaned down again, and a beautiful circular room appeared beneath the transparent substance.
It was as if he were looking into the room through a circular skylight.
The bright light in the room made him look very familiar.
Eventually, the portraits of principals on the wall allowed him to recognize that this was the principal's office.
There were no longer any silver objects emitting smoke and strange noises, nor was there the phoenix Fawkes.
The interior decoration is also Slytherin-style, and it is obvious that the current headmaster is a Slytherin.
The feminine style further proves that this is most likely owned by Phineas Black, the female in this world who created the "Zi Mu River".
"Is this the memory?"
Before Harry had time to think about it, Lily's voice rang out, "Now, put your head in."
'Yes, Mum.' Harry didn't have time to think, and followed the command - his nose touched the surface of the memory.
Dumbledore's office seemed to have suddenly fallen over, upside down.
Harry felt as if his body had fallen headfirst into the basin, but his hair did not hit the bottom of the basin.
He was falling through a cold, dark mass, as if being sucked into a black vortex—but he was still able to breathe.
Suddenly, Harry found himself back in his normal form, sitting in the plush green and silver high-backed chair that belonged to Phineas Black's office.
He subconsciously looked up at the original dome, trying to find the round skylight, but all he saw was a portrait of the former principal and a silver snake sculpture.
The door slammed open.
Harry's body stiffened instantly, remembering that he was no longer invisible.
A dark-haired witch in silver and green Slytherin-style robes walked quickly towards him.
("Is this the old man?" Sirius couldn't help rubbing his eyes several times.)
She was a witch with white skin with invisible pores that almost glowed in the sun, a breathtaking beauty that exuded a bit of evil, and black curly hair.
The shadow of Hillis can be vaguely seen from the outline.
He even seemed to be able to smell the faint tulip scent of Sirius emanating from this witch.
Her beauty was so breathtaking and so aggressive that he could only watch her sit on him.
(A large number of the audience began to boo.)
(Ginny, already numb, clenched her fists again.)
Then her body passed through him and he and she overlapped.
Harry couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Then he suddenly woke up.
"The charm of witches in this world is too amazing. No wonder male wizards can't resist."
"What idiots! Haven't you noticed that there are fewer and fewer wizards?" A lark-like voice that was completely different from her aggressive appearance sounded, "What do you mean by [Mother and Child River] doesn't need to exist? Do these stinky bitches in the Ministry of Magic have their heads in the womb?"
The Sorting Hat!
Harry then remembered, 'I'm here to find the Sorting Hat!'
Only then did he stand up from the high-backed chair, on Phineas Black's body.
Start looking for the Sorting Hat in every corner of the room.
But even though he searched everywhere, he still found nothing.
("Where is the Sorting Hat?" Professor McGonagall frowned. "Could it be that Harry has misplaced his memory?")
("Perhaps the Sorting Hat in our memory is not necessarily what it looks like." Dumbledore speculated.)
"Harry, the Sorting Hat in your memory may not be what it looks like!" Lily finally spoke up. She had been thinking while Harry was looking for it, "You shouldn't be unable to meet Phineas Black!"
(In the memory of the Pensieve, in the ocean of condensed thoughts, Lily's voice could no longer be hidden.)
"Just like you can touch the tables and chairs and step on the floor, you should be able to touch Phineas Black's body too!"
"The only reason you can't touch it is because you're touching it in the wrong place and in the wrong way!"
"Uterus!"x2Harry and Lily said in unison.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 292: Basilisk? Slytherin
(Except for Snape, the weird audience member who went crazy and forgot everything when he heard Lily's voice, the audience is now divided into three parts.)
(Like Ron, a large portion of the audience didn't care why Harry guessed it was the uterus.)
("Ah, this. Can you touch it?" Ron blushed. He said to Hermione, "I finally understand how amazing the Pensieve is.")
(“Mom, I want a Pensieve, too!”)
(You can experience everything in your memory in person and even move your hands and feet. No wonder every wizard attaches so much importance to his or her own Pensieve and even takes it with him or her to be buried.)
(Another group of viewers were puzzled by Harry and Lily's guesses.)
(Only a small number of viewers, such as Dumbledore, who are observant, discover the secret.)
(They had noticed that Phineas Black had not said a word since then.)
(That one sentence is particularly crucial.)
(The only parts mentioned in the speech are the head and the uterus.)
(The uterus is the organ in the female body that gives birth to life.)
And on the screen, Harry's hand had already reached into Finia Black's lower abdomen, but the posture looked very obscene.
If he cooperates, his smile after touching the thing will be unbearable to watch.
(Even Hermione took a while to realize, “Harry touched the Sorting Hat!”)
With a crisp pop of the cork being pulled out of the wine bottle, the Sorting Hat appeared in Harry's hand.
"Strange hands," the hat twisted and opened its mouth, "Unprecedented holy magic, are you really a wizard? Or has the wizard's bloodline evolved to this level after a thousand years?"
(Dumbledore's eyes flashed with surprise, "Why does the Sorting Hat in this world speak so arrogantly? Could it be that it has been locked up for too long?")
"You can't sense the outside world?" Harry asked.
At the same time he was trying his best to distract himself from the soft touch of the Sorting Hat's fingers after it left Phineas Black's body.
"Of course, if I can sense the outside world, then the outside world can also sense my existence. Only by sealing me tightly and freezing my thoughts can I not be discovered, and the [Zi Mu River] technique can continue to work and cannot be destroyed."
"You don't doubt that I just want to destroy you--" Harry was halfway through his words when he realized that he had asked a stupid question. The Sorting Hat laughed, "I am the magic hat with the wisdom of the Big Four. I can tell what's in people's minds without using magic."
"Harry, let's stop talking for now. The most urgent thing is to hide the Sorting Hat in a safe place." Lily's voice rang out in the room.
"Yes, Mom." Just as Harry wanted to leave, he felt his body slowly rising into the air. The headmaster's office and the figure of Phineas Black turned into darkness.
Then he felt as if he had turned over in slow motion and his feet suddenly landed on the ground.
His body was still invisible, black shadows and the glow of moonlight shining on the silver objects intertwined around him. The phoenix Fawkes was still taking a nap, and except for the Sorting Hat that appeared in his hand and became invisible along with his body and remained silent, nothing seemed to have changed.
"Harry, then I'll start making noise." Lily's voice sounded again.
According to the original plan, Lily would temporarily leave Harry's body and force her way out of the office through the window.
At that point, Harry would only have to hide under the spiral staircase and get out when someone entered.
But at this moment, facing Lily's reminder, Harry frowned and then shook his head.
However, he was not dissatisfied with Lily.
Instead, he noticed changes in his body.
