Chapter 458 I Saw an Era
Seeing that Seraphina had figured it out, the three people present breathed a sigh of relief.
If she had insisted, things would have become tricky.
Rowena was even ready to use the Imperius Curse to control the other party directly.
During the competition, the headmaster of Ilvermorny must not have any problems. After the competition, she would control her to return to Ilvermorny. As for the future, she is so old after all. It is normal for her to die soon after traveling.
Fortunately, she figured it out, so she didn't have to do it.
However, Seraphina's personality is quite problematic. Although she has determined that the Slytherin Wand is a cursed wand, if it is dug out and left in Ilvermorny, it will only bring bad luck, but she is still unwilling to take the initiative to give up Ilvermorny's ownership of the wand.
She paid for the heirloom left by the previous headmaster? How can she explain this to the predecessors? How will others view her headmaster who "lost power and humiliated the school"?
As the most empathetic and considerate person present, Helga immediately understood what Seraphina was worried about, so she began her own mediation.
"I remember that a student at Ilvermorny was recognized by the snake staff?"
"That's true. His name is Jack. It's amazing. He is from a Muggle family, but he speaks Parseltongue."
Helga nodded thoughtfully.
"Since it has been recognized, this wand should belong to Jack, right?"
"Uh..." Seraphina fell into deep thought.
Before today, this question could not even be called a question. Want to take the school's treasure for yourself, what good things do you want? Hand it in after the game!
But now Seraphina has a different idea.
She thinks that since Jack has been recognized by the snake staff, he is actually the owner of this wand. Ilvermorny School of Magic is a famous school with a long history and will not encroach on students' things.
Thinking of this, the sky is wide open.
Seraphina said seriously: "Indeed, Ilvermorny can no longer be called 'the owner of the serpent staff', but Jack is also my student..."
"We understand, but if the serpent staff abandons him, there is nothing we can do."
Seraphina was silent for a moment and nodded.
"Let the children solve these things themselves, and we adults should not interfere."
With the joint efforts of several people, a consensus was finally reached.
The moment Seraphina gave in, Dumbledore, Helga, and Rowena all breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the non-existent sweat on their foreheads.
Les watched his friends' hard work with an expressionless face.
He understood it all.
Considering that Helga and Rowena condescended to deal with an old fool, Les was unwilling to destroy the good situation that his old friends had finally achieved and let everyone's efforts go to waste.
In other words, Les decided to let Ilvermorny go for the sake of his old friends.
So he remained silent.
Glancing at Salazar quietly, seeing that he didn't seem to have any objection, Helga felt a flash of joy in her heart: It's settled, finally this matter has been exposed!
"I'll arrange a match between the two of you to decide who owns the Slytherin Wand." Dumbledore showed a warm smile on his face, looked at Rice and said with a smile: "Just treat it as a small episode during the off-season."
Rice nodded, and Seraphina said nothing. Both sides reluctantly accepted the solution obtained after mediation.
In fact, neither side was particularly satisfied with this plan, so this plan was the most fair and just.
"Albus, I have something else to do, so I'll leave you alone for now." Seraphina left the classroom quickly.
Dumbledore followed her and walked two steps outside, and found that Professor White and Professor Arius had not caught up. He couldn't help but look back and found that the two professors were already standing next to Rice, as if they were going to say something in private.
The three of them happened to be standing in front of a window in the classroom. The rising sun had climbed over the mountains in the distance, casting sunlight on the Hogwarts Castle.
The sunlight fell from the window and covered the three people. Professor White, who was standing in the middle of the window, seemed to be covered with a golden robe. Professor Arius, who was standing next to her, only half of his body was exposed in front of the window, so the sunlight formed two areas of light and dark on her body. Most of Les Lint, who was on the far right, was hidden in the shadow formed by the window ridge, and only a few scattered rays of light were reflected on his robe.
Dumbledore's gaze attracted the attention of the three people. They raised their heads tacitly and looked at him standing at the door along the line of sight cast by Dumbledore.
An elusive smile appeared on the faces of the three people at the same time.
Dumbledore was in a trance for a moment, and the scene in front of him seemed to be distorted. The boy opposite seemed to have grown up, but the old man became younger. The age of the middle one did not change, but his facial features were slightly moving.
But he squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and everything just now seemed to be an illusion caused by the dazzling sun. The two professors and a young student were still standing there as he saw them at first sight, smiling at him.
For a moment, Dumbledore felt that he had seen the so-called era with his own eyes.
He was old, but they were still young.
The carriage of the times split the long river of time and sped past him, allowing him to only glimpse a silhouette of that era, but it disappeared in an instant.
After two seconds, Dumbledore responded with a smile, opened the door and walked out of the classroom.
"I'm leaving now. Goodbye." He whispered in a voice that could only be heard by himself.
After walking two steps, Dumbledore suddenly stopped and had a realization in his mind: 'Les Lint... Ha! What a collegiate name! ’
A relieved smile appeared on Dumbledore's face. He no longer hesitated and strode out of the corridor.
Watching Dumbledore's back gradually go away, Rowena said softly: "He seems to understand something."
"He is the principal of Hogwarts. It doesn't matter if he knows more." Helga responded lazily with her eyes closed, bathed in the light of the morning sun.
"He is a smart man," Les flexed his somewhat stiff joints. "Smart people have the best sense of boundaries."
"Only smart people can let us live a peaceful life!" Rowena sighed.
"Isn't it just for this comfort that I worked so hard when I was young?" Helga said with a smile.
At this point, the three of them looked at each other tacitly, and then each tried hard to suppress the smiles on their faces.
Some people...ha! I’m afraid it will be difficult to enjoy this peaceful and comfortable life!
In this comparison, they only feel more comfortable and comfortable.
