The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Vol 4 Chapter 53: Dumbledore's password

Hagrid's class ended successfully. As soon as the get out of class bell rang, Hagrid couldn't wait to announce the end of get out of class, and then left with a box full of fried tail snails.

The little wizards walked towards the castle in groups of three or five.

Naturally, Tom also returned to the castle with several Ravenclaw little witches. Along the way, Padma and the others were chattering non-stop, and everyone was thinking about how to cook the fried tail snails.

From Hagrid's hut to the castle hall, they have developed no less than ten kinds of cuisines: baked snails with cream cheese, fried snails with sashimi, deep-fried snails, steamed snails, etc...

Tom found an excuse to get out of the group of witches full of exploding tail snails, and came to Dumbledore's office.

"Lemon Snow Treasures." Tom reported last year's password.

There was no response from the drip-mouth stone beast in front of Tom.

"Changed again? Sour popping candy?"

The statue still didn't move.

"Toffee finger biscuits?"

Stone Statue:  …

"A pile of cockroaches?"

……

Tom tried dozens of foods, but the water-mouthed stone beast in front of him was like a real stone statue, with no intention of moving at all.

"Shit, what did Dumbledore replace the password with?"

The statue twisted, revealing the spiral staircase behind it.

Tom: ? !

He was taken aback by Dumbledore's new password.

When he pushed open the door of Dumbledore's office with ease, he found that it was the same as before: all kinds of strange silverware on the slender-legged table were steaming, men and women hanging on the wall The portraits of the principals were resting as quietly as the sorting hats on the shelf, and Fox behind the door was combing his feathers.

And Dumbledore, as usual, sat quietly at the long table, waiting for the visitor to arrive.

"Sometimes I really thought that you would stay behind the desk all day." Tom couldn't help but want to complain.

"Actually you guessed it right," Dumbledore stretched out his hand, and the chair in front of the table automatically slid in front of Tom, and at the same time a plate of dried fruit, a plate of candy and a cup of hot tea appeared on the table, "for me there are Being in a daze is also a kind of happiness.”

"I hope I won't be so busy in the future." The scene described by Dumbledore is so terrifying, even being in a daze is a luxury, what a painful day.

Seeing Tom's reaction, Dumbledore smiled. No matter how this smile looked in Tom's eyes, there was a sense of ill will.

"The password you chose is really unique." Tom changed the subject.

"Yeah, it's really strange to use your name as a password. I'll change it later." Dumbledore agreed with Tom's statement.

Tom: ...

"In fact, if you don't come to me, I'll come to you too." Dumbledore ended the chat and looked at Tom, "I hope you can participate in this year's Triwizard Tournament - as a level. "

Dumbledore's words were somewhat panting, which startled Tom. Just listening to the first half of the sentence, he thought Dumbledore was going to open a door for him to represent Hogwarts in the Triwizard Tournament.

"Of course I am interested in participating in this kind of fun. After all, it is my suggestion to let more students participate in the Triwizard Tournament... But in order to make the level more 'playable', I need a little help. "Tom was relieved to know that Dumbledore wanted him to help form the Triwizard project.

This request is not excessive. In fact, even if Dumbledore didn't say anything, he would come to him to apply to join - a project that he designed himself, of course, you have to participate in person to get a sense of participation!

"Help?" Dumbledore supported his half-moon glasses.

Tom knew that it was time to get sponsorship.

"I have always had such an idea..." Tom explained his general idea to Dumbledore eloquently, just like an entrepreneur in the non-magical world who raised financing.

"This idea is interesting, but I still have a few small questions..." Investment is not so easy to pull, Dumbledore also asked Tom a few questions, but Tom was well prepared and answered them one by one.

Dumbledore thought for a few seconds and then replied: "I can provide you with a batch of magic metal as a reward for your participation in the level - I also really hope to see your idea successfully realized."

After pulling "Investment", Tom was in a good mood.

So he felt that giving the generous Dumbledore a little help would make him more face.

"Professor Dumbledore, have you considered giving Beauxbatons and Durmstrang a little 'show' when welcoming them?" Tom smiled slightly, "This is the best way to show the spirit of Hogwarts. Great time - also to show off our muscles and impress the visitors."

Mr. Weasley once said: "When people gather together, they show off unconsciously."

This sentence is also common to the teachers and students of the magic school.

Why did Durmstrong and Beauxbatons choose such a gimmicky appearance? Of course to show their heritage! Otherwise, why go all the way to drive a carriage and a boat? Do you really think the bumps along the way are very comfortable?

Tom's words moved Dumbledore.

Although he had plenty of confidence in Hogwarts, he now felt that it would be nice to greet guests with a grand welcome ceremony.

"Can you tell me in detail the content of the performance?" Dumbledore crossed his hands and looked at Tom with interest. He had a tinge of anticipation for Tom's answer~www.wuxiamtl.com~ of course. "Tom was keenly aware of the possibility of plucking wool.

……

After finalizing some details of the "Opening Ceremony", Tom and Dumbledore's conversation is also coming to an end.

"One last thing, it's about memory... Professor Dumbledore, do you have any magic that can read a person's memory shortly after birth?"

Tom was also a little curious about his own background, and wanted to investigate to see what kind of family he came from. As a child growing up in an orphanage, Tom's background is almost impossible to test, and there is only one way to find out: ask himself.

It sounds like nonsense. If Tom can remember it himself, why use investigation? In fact, Tom intends to use the peculiarities of the human brain to find the memory of his birth.

The human brain is the most mysterious organ of the human body. The hidden mysteries of the brain have not been fully discovered by Muggles and wizards. Wizards even juxtapose the brain with love, death, space, thought, and time in the Department of Mysteries.

Taking memory as an example, many forgotten things are not really forgotten, but are transferred to deep memory and fall into "sleep". Under normal circumstances, people cannot recall memories in deep memory. With the help of the power of magic, there is a possibility of realization.
