Chapter 105: For His Majesty
“Why is it triggered now?”
Dumbledore, who was immersed in writing a new book, raised his head - he felt that the magic he had arranged was triggered.
This is too fast, and the location is not right. It is definitely not the location of the library.
"Triggered?"
The principals looked at Dumbledore - didn't he say that thing could hold on to enthusiastic students for at least half a month? Why was it triggered?
"Yes, it was triggered, and the other person still brought the book to the lounge - so the silent spell effect that attracted other people's attention has failed."
Not only was Dumbledore not surprised, he actually had a smile on his face - students could always come up with something completely unexpected, which was why he liked to stay with students.
"What about our follow-up books?"
"You'll find it. If it's not there after a month, let's do more. Besides, aren't the books we want to add also not compiled?"
Dumbledore was unfazed.
Then, less than two hours later, there was a knock on his office door.
It's Philius.
"Sorry, Albus," said Professor Flitwick with a strange smile on his face, "because my students have discovered something amazing, so I thought I'd tell you about it - they found it in a book. Most likely a hidden manuscript of an old book.
Naturally, it was not easy to disclose the sudden whims of the principals to the students and pranks on the students, so now that they were being questioned, Dumbledore and the principals on the wall tried hard to restrain their expressions.
"Well...that's probably what happened..."
Dumbledore's tone was a little uncertain, and he accepted that the blame was entirely his, but it was related to the reputation of all the past principals of Hogwarts...
"Well... this matter hasn't spread yet... My students also secretly told me to keep it secret. If there are any books that need to be dealt with... Well, I think everything will be safe until tomorrow..."
Professor Flitwick spoke hesitantly, looking at the principals behind him from the corner of his eye from time to time. Now he was a little doubtful of what he heard not long ago.
——
More than half an hour ago, Andrew and Hughes, who were busy transcribing everything, came to Professor Flitwick's office with all the remaining pages and the letter hidden in the book.
To be honest, Andrew was a little skeptical about the news that Dumbledore had obtained some fragments from Peeves, but after seeing that the signature was indeed the same as that on some documents, he became semi-sceptical.
But when he copied the pages, he still couldn't figure out why Dumbledore separated the pages, and how the story he made up came up...
But then he decided to accept the facts - it was absolutely true that Peeves had doubts, it was also true that Dumbledore was born in Gryffindor and provoked Peeves, and there was nothing questionable about getting the loot from Peeves.
He just wrote down the things in the castle that might have been discovered by Dumbledore - in fact, Dumbledore might even have actually visited the Forbidden Forest, the Principal's Office, the Forbidden Book Area, etc., so he ran into Not surprising.
But until he went to Professor Flitwick's office, Andrew didn't figure out why he found the broken pages in the library - Dumbledore didn't disclose his book, which was purely fabricated, and had an explanation for the former headmaster's. Why are the books hidden?
It wasn't until he entered Professor Flitwick's office that Andrew suddenly thought of why. ‘Damn it... I actually forgot a very important sentence, which is taboo for His Holiness. ’
Just as Ravenclaw respects his own headmaster, Dumbledore also respects those late headmasters. That's why Dumbledore, as a student, hid the found pages of books, but was reluctant to destroy them...
Originally, it was something that only students of a certain generation would notice, but now it has been rummaged out...
And what did those principals write that would make Dumbledore have the idea of covering the principals?
Well... different political views are all too common at Hogwarts, especially when the school itself is relatively independent. So it's not surprising to even criticize the Ministry of Magic or support pure bloods.
It is also financially impossible to write errors in the manuscript - the only thing that went wrong was that one of the principals might have a hobby of laughing, and then the manuscript was stolen by Peeves, and finally Deng Xiaoping. Bullido got it.
Young Dumbledore was originally intended to be destroyed, but it was the work of previous generations, so he gave up in the end, and did not want to expose it, so he stuffed it in an ordinary history book, hoping that future generations would discover it and become a piece of innocuous history. Even now, he has long forgotten what happened back then, so he generously lets the students rummage in the library without restraint.
Right, all right!
When Andrew discovered this secret, he was extremely lucky that he came to his dean's office instead of Professor McGonagall's office - otherwise it would be really difficult to explain.
It would be too... outrageous to explain this to Professor McGonagall.
But Professor Flitwick was different - even if the professor asked about it in the future, he would not think that Andrew should report the matter of the two Ravenclaws to her, let alone investigate in depth what the matter was.
So, under the confused eyes of his roommate next to him, Andrew explained his guess as vaguely as possible, and handed all the letters and fragments to the professor.
"Professor, please clean up any bad things. I can hold off my roommates for a while, but the things in the library don't wait for anyone!" ’
Andrew tried his best to convey these complicated messages with his eyes - fortunately, Professor Flitwick's understanding ability was not low.
He roughly thought of what Andrew was thinking when he winked, and then after Andrew took away his roommate, he pretended to be calm but walked towards Dumbledore's office super quickly, and quickly passed on the information.
‘There are quite a few headmasters who were born in Ravenclaw! ’
——
The atmosphere became more and more awkward under the gaze of Professor Flitwick. The principals were thinking about how to end it, but Professor Flitwick was thinking, 'You guys should wake up quickly, what do you want me to say about this kind of thing! ! ! ’
In the end, Professor Flitwick was superior, and under the hint of his constant expressions, the principals on the screen finally understood what this meant.
Inappropriate books, student secrecy—and damn the idea of storing scraps of pages separately that I thought was genius at first…
As the principals began to look a little worried, Professor Flitwick quickly made an excuse to leave.
It's too difficult for him - after he is busy with the affairs of the college, he still has to worry about the impact of the old principals on the reputation of the college...
