Hogwarts founder returns to campus

Accompanied by a flash of fire, Fox took the lead in blocking the door of the principal's office.

At the same time, Salazar's hidden silk thread imprint appeared in an instant, and turned into a circle of fireworks around his arm, and climbed all the way to the heart.

"Interesting." Salazar waved his hand gently, and the imprint of this unbreakable oath dissipated instantly, as if nothing just happened.

"Why bother." Dumbledore smiled faintly, "It was a bit dangerous just now."

"It seems that the Voldemort you want to train Harry to fight against really has some skills." Salazar narrowed his eyes.

He just wanted to leave just now, but he has already violated the unbreakable oath, which was the oath's warning to him just now.

This shows that the wizard Harry is going to face is a person who can subvert the magical world, at least in Dumbledore's perception, this person has such an ability.

In his opinion, no matter how powerful a dark wizard can be against a child, there is a limit, so he doesn't care much.

"Okay, okay." Salazar shrugged perfunctorily, "What do you want me to do? Help you clean the surface of the mirror with a descaling spell?"

"I hope you can help me complete the magic and ensure that the Philosopher's Stone can only be obtained by those who do not want to use it."

Salazar's tone was slightly teasing: "Could it be that you can't do this kind of thing alone, you are the greatest wizard of our time."

Dumbledore responded slowly: "No one stipulates that the greatest wizard of our time cannot be lazy. You are one of the founders of Hogwarts. Isn't it normal for me, a junior, to seek your help?"

"Since you have said so, it is only right for me as an elder to help the younger generation." Salazar nodded, "But you are too boring, you take out the Philosopher's Stone, I think you can add something to it. "

After spending an afternoon in the principal's office, they put the Philosopher's Stone into the Mirror of Erised as expected.

Dumbledore also dabbled in alchemy, so on this basis, they added a series of small changes to the Sorcerer's Stone to ensure that if something happened midway, there would still be some small surprises waiting for Voldemort.

The festivities in the Great Hall were over, but the Hufflepuff students were still basking in the joy of winning.

Sprout also brought into the common room many fairies, vain and magical creatures.

Only the palm-sized fairy is exquisite and gorgeous, it will dress itself in colorful clothes, and dance with the dancing grass with both hands.And will also draw various patterns in the air, hoping to get praise from the audience.

In the days leading up to Christmas, the cheerful and uplifting vibe continues unabated.

Although Cassandra didn't deliberately mention it, whenever a student praised her for her Quidditch performance, she couldn't help but pull that student to ask him to say a few more words.

On the day before the holiday, the auditorium was decorated with a few teachers, and it was filled with a sense of joy.

Ribbons of orange-red mistletoe and emerald-green holly hung on the walls, and twelve towering Christmas trees stood in various corners of the auditorium.

The snowflakes made by the weather spell kept falling from the ceiling, covering the Christmas tree with a layer of white armor.

There are also many small shiny icicles hanging between the tree branches. The magical flames are sealed in the icicles, shining with hazy and psychedelic halos, which adds a bit of Christmas-only relaxation to the auditorium.

Not many students stayed in school, and Salazar especially noticed that Harry, his friend Ron, and several of Ron's older brothers chose to stay in school.

After learning that Harry would stay in school for Christmas, Salazar understood why the Mirror of Erised was placed in an abandoned classroom. Dumbledore really worked hard for this child.

Regarding the conversation on the Quidditch pitch, what he cared most about was the disintegration of the Super League, so this Christmas, he decided to take a good look at the ins and outs of this matter.

If the wizarding world can interfere with the Muggle world to this extent, even with the unbreakable oath, he feels that there is still a lot of room for manipulation.

-------------------------------------

On Christmas Day, Salazar came to the auditorium for breakfast.

Soon he saw a few tired owls eagerly flying to him, dropping the packages one by one, and then quickly left here.

He usually rests in the laboratory, where there are three spells of camouflage, repelling and shielding to prevent tracking.

It seems that these owls have been waiting here for the recipient all night because they could not find the recipient.

After he returned to the laboratory again, he had time to unpack these packages.

On top was Cassandra's package, which contained a gleaming inner armor.

According to the message attached to the inner armor, it is a dragon scale inner armor, and the scales on it are connected in series from various fire dragon scales she collected before.

This gift is indeed very thoughtful, but its appearance is too gorgeous, even as an inner armor, it is too ostentatious.

Because with his current silent ability, this kind of inner armor rich in magic power would not be very suitable for displaying power, so he decided to temporarily store the inner armor in the laboratory.

Hermione also sent him a package. Her package was much simpler, but it suited her temperament well. It was a gilded leather notebook with a postcard inside, a Christmas greeting.

Looking at Hermione's package and the blessing, he remembered that there is a tradition of giving gifts at Christmas, which made him think about what should be given as a gift in return.

In addition to Hermione, the Tonks family and Justin and the Weasley twins also sent him presents.

Dora sent him a looking glass, and Mr and Mrs Tonks a big bag of homemade biscuits and smoked sausages.

Justin's gift was a pen and a bottle of ink, both of which seemed to be brands from the Muggle world, and the outer packaging was very elegant.

The Weasley twins were not so much presents as they came to hand in homework. Apart from Christmas blessings, there were a few disposable magic props in their packages.

Among these magical props, Salazar was quite satisfied with one. It was a smoke bomb made by using the smoke spell and potion. At least the technical content was much higher than the completed version of the fake wand. After all, he did not fish in troubled waters.

He found that the Weasley twins had a bad habit of always making firework props or trick-related magic props.

Salazar, who was not good at interpersonal communication, finally decided to take out some gems, simply engrave inscriptions, and make them into simple magic props as a gift in return.

For Cassandra, a gift that took a lot of thought, Salazar didn't know what kind of gift to give in return.

After thinking about it all afternoon, he decided to make a necklace decorated with gemstones of different colors and engraved with different kinds of magic on the gemstones.
