Chapter 46 The Mirror of Erised
There are thousands of school rules, and the first rule is not found.
Since Dumbledore violated the school rules and got all the stolen goods on the spot, it was helpless to be deducted points.
Dumbledore crossed his hands, tapped his index finger with his slender middle finger, and looked at the six little wizards in front of him with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
But the smile was neither gentle nor kind, and everyone knew he was going to lose points.
Dumbledore glanced at the ceiling for a while, finally thinking about it, and said softly: "Violating the seventh and thirteenth school rules at night, everyone will be deducted ten points."
William and the other old fritters have no expressions, and they have never been found before, but they often walk by the river, how can they not get wet shoes, they have been prepared for it.
As Hermione, who was caught on her first night tour, her hands trembled a little, as if it was very fast on her heart.
However, it was probably justified, and she did not argue.
But this is not over, Dumbledore continued: "Break into the restricted area I set, and deduct ten points from each person."
Hermione opened her mouth and seemed to want to refute, but after thinking about it, she didn't seem to have any reason to refute, so she had to lower her head and continue to bite her lip.
"Take away Professor Sprout's devil's net, and deduct ten points from each."
"Broken the key that Professor Flitwick casted a spell on, and each person will be deducted ten points."
"Take away Professor McGonagall's wizard chess pieces, and deduct ten points from each."
"Take away Professor Snape's potion, and deduct ten points from each."
It was already sixty, and Dumbledore didn't mean to stop.
"If you disturb my sleep in the middle of the night, each person will be deducted 15 points!"
Hermione's eyes were red at first, and then her shoulders trembled. She thought it would be over with a few points, but she didn't think that she had six or seven points in a row, and she was deducted seventy-five points in the blink of an eye.
Finally, hearing Dumbledore's emotionless phrase "Graffiti on the wall, deduct ten points" again...she suddenly burst into tears.
There was a thunderous quarrel between the portraits of the headmasters on the wall. The previous headmaster, Armando Dippet, shouted that it was unfair, who made him come from Ravenclaw.
Phineas Nigellus was so happy, he took a goblet out of nowhere and tapped it so hard it was disgusting.
"Yes, yes, a lot of deductions." Dumbledore shook his head, raised his index finger, and smiled: "However, there are a few more things that must be counted tonight."
Dumbledore cleared his throat, "You six are the first students to pass the level I set.
In the process, genius and courage were shown, and for this, 60 points were added to each person. "
"Also, Miss Granger's opinion on the wall is very reasonable. I will seriously consider it and add 20 points to each person." Dumbledore said loudly.
"I've decided that there will be a principal's mailbox in the hallway so each of you can write me letters of advice without having to doodle on the walls."
Hermione looked up in surprise.
Dumbledore blinked and smiled slyly: "Of course, this mailbox only accepts letters from students, otherwise I will probably be overwhelmed by the roaring letters."
Hermione finally stopped crying, her face flushed and she was a little happy.
"So, we still deducted five points from each of us in the end?"
Before walking out of the principal's office door, Fred complained in a low voice.
"Five points are very few compared to eighty-five points, and they are added back in one class." William shrugged.
"That's you!" George sighed: "If we raised our hands to answer questions in class,
It will be like this..."
George gave Fred a look, who, following Hermione's example, raised his hand suddenly.
George pursed his lips with a serious expression like Professor McGonagall. He coughed and said, "Mr. Weasley, you should go to the school hospital to have a look."
Fred said helplessly: "Yes, in the eyes of professors, it is very strange that we will take the initiative to answer questions in class."
Several people laughed.
Hermione tilted her head and retorted: "But ah, if I say that the five-point deduction is already worthy of happiness
I think the principal should give us ten points to remind us.
He was actually testing us, and even if I took twenty points, I would gladly accept it. "
After a while, Hermione has become a fan of Dumbledore.
"I will write an apology letter to Professor Dumbledore when I go back, for my irrational behavior tonight." Hermione said solemnly with her arms crossed, and her expression was exactly the same as that of Professor McGonagall.
"Of course there are letters of advice. I also have several suggestions. Regarding Professor Dumbledore himself, he is too good to talk. The headmaster should be more serious, like Professor McGonagall..."
Cedric and Qiu were studying the map. On the map, there was clearly nothing at the end of the corridor. For some reason, after passing through the devil's flame, they ran to the principal's office on the eighth floor.
They were both curious about it.
"Shh, don't talk." Cedric said suddenly, "Here comes Professor Snape."
William waved his wand and quickly cast the Illusionary Charm, and several people carefully hid in the corner of the shadow.
Snape, wrapped in black pajamas, came from the fourth floor, his face not very good.
On the fourth floor, there is only a restricted area in the corridor, indicating that he came back from there.
Professor Snape stood at the monster statue at the entrance of the principal's office, said a password, and walked in.
When the professor left, Cedric whispered, "Didn't he find that someone broke into the magic he designed?"
"Probably yes," William nodded. "Everyone should hurry back to their respective lounges, or if Snape meets him, he will definitely deduct a lot of points from us."
Snape wasn't going to be as merciful as Dumbledore, just frivolously taking five points.
At this moment, in the principal's office, Dumbledore was still sitting alone in a chair, looking at the large mirror in front of him seriously.
It was a very imposing mirror, reaching to the ceiling, with an ornate gold frame, supported by two claw-shaped feet.
The top is engraved with a line of words: Erisstra ahruait Ubi Kafruait en Voges.
In the mirror, there is an old man, who also has gray hair and looks very thin.
Wearing a simple black robe, he sat alone in a dusty chair, looking at Dumbledore with his arms folded and a smile on his lips.
Soon, the scene in the mirror changed.
The old man in black robe disappeared and turned into several people, all of whom looked at Dumbledore and smiled affectionately.
In the mirror, there is also a girl of thirteen and fourteen who is waving to him.
Dumbledore stretched out his hand and touched the mirror tremblingly, and without realizing it, tears flowed down his face.
"Sorry, Ariana, I couldn't take care of you, I'm very, very sorry..."
