Chapter 264 The Application Of The Fishery Law
"Professor Dumbledore?"
Madam Pomfrey stood up, supported the elder, and looked at the old wizard with concern, anxious and worried.
This is the third time since the start of Hogwarts school.
Although Professor Dumbledore's mental state has clearly improved a lot since the arrival of "Otto Apocalis", it is undeniable that from this year, the physical condition of the elder has really not changed as before, at least before this, Dumbledore had never suffered a heart attack.
However, this is not difficult to understand for Bobby Pomfrey.
After all, the crisis Hogwarts faces today almost entirely falls on Dumbledore's shoulders. After all, Dumbledore is just a stronger human wizard, not an omnipotent god.
"It's all right, old problems these days."
Dumbledore waved his hand and responded warmly, calm as always.
However, even with the familiar and gentle smile, it is difficult to hide the trace of tiredness and age. Without surprise, this should be the most difficult year since he became the headmaster of Hogwarts.
Dumbledore patted Madam Pomfrey on the back of the hand resting on his shoulder, showing a broad and kindly smile, and calmed down slightly, diverting his gaze from Grindelwald and Elena, taking a deep breath, and slowly explaining to the stunned wizards in the auditorium.
"Please, do not be frightened. To maintain campus order and ensure everyone's safety, there are several invisible guardians hidden in Hogwarts that are usually difficult to detect. Luwei is just one of the guardians."
Dumbledore rubbed his eyebrows and slowly looked at the faces of the young wizards, then continued with a friendly smile.
"I believe some older students should realize that not only our faculty and staff protect Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Therefore, they do not have to fear those who guard us."
Fear comes from the unknown and from self-preservation instincts.
From Dumbledore's point of view, the best way to eliminate fear is not to blindly hide and prohibit it, it will only turn fear from the bright side into a deeper internal fear.
The truly correct way is to select some facts and show them to everyone.
"In fact, I think you can ask your fellows around, I believe many have found wonderful things in this castle, frankly, it frustrates me, because more than half of them may have never experienced it."
Dumbledore reached out, a soft smile appearing on his face, and said gently.
"I can't help but wonder sometimes, many wonderful things, perhaps only young people can find them."
With Dumbledore's voice, the once condensed atmosphere in the auditorium began to gradually recover, and the young wizards looked at each other and whispered among themselves.
"Speaking of which, I always knew there was a giant squid in the Black Lake. A few years ago, when an older student fell out of a boat while crossing the lake, he was pushed to the shore by the giant squid."
"There are herds of horses in the Forbidden Forest. We secretly ran to the Forbidden Forest for a date. As a result, we were surrounded by a large group of riderless horses and escorted to the Mr. Hager's cabin." (Human ≠ horse, warning of hoof)
"Several pieces of armor in the sixth-floor corridor are alive. On several occasions when I was late, I heard metal sounds guiding me silently to the nearest path to the classroom."
"Do you remember those passionate house-elves in the kitchen? I counted before, at least a hundred, I swear I heard them cleaning during the night."
"The stone statues on the third floor are definitely one of the guardians in Professor Dumbledore's mouth. I swear I've seen their eyes move secretly before, but when I looked again, they were all pretending to be stone reliefs..."
Hogwarts is full of all kinds of wonderful things. The three-headed Luwei is a striking presence, but it doesn't mean that the other young wizards haven't found other magical phenomena.
To be precise, many active kids have even experienced some more incredible experiences.
For example, opening a classroom door and finding themselves flying in the endless sky, losing the sense of up, down, left, and right;
For example, when I went to the bathroom, I suddenly was dragged into a corridor full of gray mist. There were more than a dozen mysterious people whose faces could not be seen.
For example, after touching a strange sculpture, consciousness instantly integrated into the body of an ancient creature and participated in an intense hunt.
...
With all kinds of rumors and true and false stories, the fear caused by the three-headed dog began to dissipate quickly, and even many brave wizards surrounded Elena and began to ask where to ride the big dog.
I have to say that Grindelwald's taste is quite good.
The three-headed Lu Wei, which has undergone the blue flame spell, can completely surpass most ordinary magical animals in handsome value - majestic, obedient, and fierce. A little silly...
Not to mention that, as the young wizards gradually recovered, many smart students had already surmised from the conversation between Hagrid and Professor Flitwick that the terrifying monster seemed to be cared for by Mr. Hagrid. Yes, and it has a silly name, [Lu Wei].
On the other hand, at the long Gryffindor table, a large group of students gathered around the Weasley brothers, George and others, listening to the twins talk about their experience exploring the school; of course, there are also many compiled stories, but after the shocking display of Lu Wei, the credibility this time is undoubtedly much higher.
The same thing happened in almost every corner of the auditorium. Whether it's the Ravenclaw kitten or the Slytherin serpent, over the years, they have accumulated many strange stories about Lu Qi. Almost all individuals can't wait to talk about the strange things they know.
For a moment, Elena even felt as if she had arrived at the Grand Online Exchange Gathering - In addition to some slightly bland real experiences, the young wizards hurried to share their own stories, without caring at all about the logic of these stories and how many school rules are violated.
"Um, did you say that big dog? Actually, I don't know very well..."
A brief look at the smiling and mischievous elderly radish in the faculty seat, Elena suddenly sensed a warning in her heart, and casually changed the subject, then took knife and fork and began to eat earnestly.
This situation always gave her an ominous premonition.
"Okay, I know everyone yearns for unique experiences."
The elderly's blue eyes gazed at the whispering young wizards through the spectacles, and cast a meaningful glance at the "little adventurers" in the midst of the crowd of all grades, exchanging glances with the surrounding teachers, and said with a smile.
"However, I must reiterate that all violations of the school rules will incur serious corresponding consequences. I hope you can bear this in mind, not all guardians are good-natured."
After a pause of a few seconds, Dumbledore cleared his throat, his voice slightly too loud.
"Next, each dean will contact a few students one by one, and they will work together to draft a note on the incomplete version of Hogwarts, organize and assess the dangers, and formulate some protective measures and update some corresponding school rules."
As Dumbledore's speech ended, the proud Weasley brothers suddenly closed their mouths like a pair of ducks whose necks had been strangled, and looked incredulously at the elderly man standing in the middle of the auditorium.
What disturbed them even more was that Professor McGonagall, who was sitting next to Dumbledore, looked at them seriously, frowning, as if she was listening to the story of the two mentioned before.
"Alright, it's not too early. It's important to eat your late lunch with energy and sobriety. Later you'll be able to share stories with teachers and students."
Dumbledore sat down after speaking, turned his face and whispered with the deans of various faculties.
Elena's affairs made Dumbledore suddenly realize something.
Times have changed, and now the young wizards, especially those in these sessions, are much more mobile than before, so the school side must make some changes to the school regulations to suit this youthful environment.
Before that, we must first make sure, besides Elena Kaslana, what kind of school boys we need to focus on.
The auditorium fell silent for a moment, and all the "little adventurers" ate bitterly, as if this was their last meal before death, especially those who had violated many school rules and had been arrogantly cunning Star students who had not been caught.
The only calm was the pile of white hair that no longer mattered.
"Come here, Hannah, this elbow is good, ah..."
"Alright, Hermione, stop asking questions, come and open your mouth, this grilled sausage is delicious..."
