[HP] Magic didn't give up on you

It is not a common occurrence to be able to watch the snow with the principal.Although every Hogwarts student is no stranger to the headmaster, after all, when eating in the auditorium, you can often see what kind of robe the headmaster is wearing on the teacher's table today.But that seemed to be just Hogwarts students looking up to their headmaster, not like now, they stood so close that they could see the lines on the headmaster's long silver beard, Eli had never felt so clearly : Albus Dumbledore was standing beside him.

He is the greatest wizard of this century, the celebrity on the chocolate frog card, the hero who defeated the dark wizard Grindelwald, and also a real elder, a trustworthy object, and a guardian of justice with noble consciousness.And he even has good photography skills, bright and contrasting style of dress aesthetics, and the wonderful taste of using the name of sweets as the entry password for his office... He is a real person, and because of this, he has done Everything is even more admirable.

Eli was stunned for a moment, as if he had realized something in his heart.However, he soon came to his senses, realizing that such an opportunity was obviously inevitable and would never come again, so he immediately withdrew his thoughts, and decisively took out the thicker letter from the pocket of his robe, and took out the letter Arthur had sent. Letter paper for him.

"Are you busy now, Professor Dumbledore?" He asked sincerely, "Arthur and I are researching magic armor, and we have some ideas, but now the progress is a bit stuck, it only takes effect once, and the service life It's a bit too short, and it's hard to control the cost... We try to refer to the curses used by wizards to trick Muggles, which can often hurt many people at once, but the premise is that Muggles don't know magic and don't have the ability to dispel curses ability, but wizards are different, when facing people who also have magic, the protective effect of casting spells is too limited."

"Ah, I've heard from Arthur that you guys are studying this." Dumbledore said with a smile, "In fact, when I came back from the Wizengamot, I happened to find that I was free, so I went there The Burrow, Arthur told me about your current bottleneck."

"That's great!" Eli cheered up and asked hurriedly, "Do you have any good solutions, Professor Dumbledore?"

"Theoretically speaking, the cursed item has a limit of the magic power it can withstand." Dumbledore introduced to him carefully, "For example, if you just need a puppy that lasts for 10 minutes, then you give a teacup or It's perfectly fine for a clock to cast a transfiguration spell. But when you need a pet that can accompany you for a long time, and you can't buy one, then you can only use good materials to try, but the cost will increase greatly .”

Cost issues Eli anticipated that when a problem cannot be solved simply, a more complex solution must mean higher costs.He sighed, knowing that he should probably accept the reality, but he still asked unwillingly, "Is there really no other way? Even if it is really useful, scarce materials are not suitable for making a common armor. This is against the laws of the circulation of consumables..."

"You're right." Dumbledore said gently, "So I made another suggestion to Arthur - can it be possible to send out a distress signal when the spell is triggered? You know that even with armor With the blessing of many untrained wizards, it is also impossible to fight against the well-trained group of Death Eaters. One side is in the open and the other is in the dark. Rich thugs, such a gap in force cannot be made up by armor. But if a distress signal can be sent out at the first time, so that nearby wizards can notice that there is a dangerous emergency here and rush to support, then the situation may be improved. It's a big difference, and it can also make the Death Eaters lose the opportunity brought by the sneak attack."

"Like a flare?" Eli was taken aback, trying to keep up with Dumbledore's train of thought, "But it needs raw materials for chemical reactions, not... no, you mean, like the Dark Mark?"

"Oh, I'm a little surprised that you even know the Dark Mark." Dumbledore sighed. "If all my second-year students know the Dark Mark, it means that things have really come to an end." Seriously, it’s a really bad thing.”

Eli paused, lowered his eyes slightly, and said in a low and calm voice: "I stayed with Dad in St. Mungo's for several weeks, Professor. The curse on the fifth floor hurts half of the people in Corey who have completely lost their self-awareness, brows Wrinkled in pain, as if eternal life is trapped in the darkness, and can no longer escape; the other half retains some confused memories, people see their current appearance, panic, worry, and feel sympathy. The Dark Mark It is a common nightmare for everyone, and even when people open their eyes, they seem to be trapped in a nightmare, and there is no way out."

The two were silent for a while.

"I found this a very good idea, Professor." Eli took a deep breath, forced himself to cheer up, and said seriously, "Just like people will feel fear when they see the Dark Mark, a fixed Patterns can also bring warmth and hope if they are always associated with help and rescue. Like... um..."

He thought about the patterns that could represent justice and hope and corresponded to the Dark Mark, and thought about the imagination that he thought could bring people this kind of warm power: he thought of the Fox he saw in the principal's office, that was really beautiful Phoenix, when I saw it, I felt warm and full of strength.

"How about a phoenix pattern?" he suggested. "I was inspired by Fox, which looks so much better than snakes and skeletons."

Dumbledore groaned softly and looked at him carefully.

"You know what? Eli, even though you're still young, I've had the idea of ​​inviting you to join more than once." He said, without explaining what he wanted him to join, which made his words seem a little pointless No tail, "I have to say that the path you chose is exactly the same as this small organization - we have never interfered with each other's aspirations and the way forward, but I have to say that in terms of protecting justice, we Coincidentally."

"What organization?" Eli asked with interest, and the headmaster mentioned it himself. Obviously, this would not be an easy organization to make desserts together.

"It's still a little too early," said Dumbledore kindly, "but I think that one day, sooner or later, I'll be very happy to invite you to join me—it's probably not too far away from that day."

Regarding the organization that Dumbledore mentioned, Eli did not get more information from Dumbledore that day, but in a subsequent phone call with Arthur, Arthur slipped his mouth.

"Professor Dumbledore said that he would invite you to join the Order of the Phoenix in the future?!" He raised his voice in surprise, "You will definitely join in the future, I am not surprised at all, but I think it is too early to tell you now... "

"So this organization is called the Order of the Phoenix?" Eli asked with great interest, and understood why Dumbledore said that it was a coincidence that day.

Arthur immediately realized that he had said too much, he felt very annoyed, no matter how much Eli asked, he was unwilling to say any more.

This is not very important, since Dumbledore has already mentioned it to him, he will surely know sooner or later, maybe it is not the time yet, just let nature take its course.Eli didn't spend much time thinking about this secret, he put the matter aside, and concentrated on studying with Arthur how to send a phoenix signal as soon as the armor was triggered.

"The Dark Mark seems to be Voldemort's - sorry, You-Know-Who - exclusive invention, and there's no way to compare it. There's no way we can go to a Death Eater and say, hey, buddy, shoot the Dark Mark and let's see." Look, I guess he will do it after killing me." Eli said annoyedly, "It's definitely not right, maybe I can talk to Professor Flitwick and Professor McGonagall..."

In the common room of Gryffindor, Eli frowned on the round table next to the phone, writing quickly, sketching on the draft paper of the armor, sorting out the questions, and preparing to consult the two professors tomorrow.The portrait at the door was lifted, and three people crawled in talking and laughing. Everyone looked as embarrassed as if they had just experienced some kind of war.

"What's wrong with you?" Eli looked up inadvertently, immediately put down what he was doing, and asked in surprise.

"Nothing, just trying to deal with some furry little problems." James scratched his hair, making it look more messy.He also looked a bit embarrassed, but he was in good spirits and looked radiant.

"We've decided to do something great, Eli," he said triumphantly. "I wish I could share it with you—but never mind, you seem to have enough worries."

He saluted him casually and out of shape, and went upstairs to the dormitory with his friends tired but happy. Two minutes later, the portrait was lifted again, and Lupine also crawled in from the outside, with a dazed expression on his face, mixed with fear, apprehension, worry, and a hint of excitement that he might not have noticed.

"Aren't you together?" Eli asked unexpectedly, "James and the others just came back."

"What?" said Lupine absent-mindedly, and it took a few seconds before he realized he was talking to him. "Um...yes, we're not together, they...no, I have other things..."

All right.Eli shrugged, put his head down and continued with his business.Lupine stopped, looking at Eli hesitantly, hesitating for a while.

Eli wrote a page, and when he looked up to look in his schoolbag, he suddenly found Lupine still there.

"What's the matter, Remus?" he asked strangely.

As if awakened suddenly, Lupine shuddered and stared at him for several seconds in horror.

"No...it's nothing." He said hurriedly, staring at Eli, paused, and asked softly, "James and the others are the best friends in the world, aren't they? I...I really can't believe that I I was so lucky to meet them."

"Are you asking me for an objective answer?" Eli began to laugh. "To be honest, objectively speaking, they are a bit too flamboyant and energetic. I don't know if someone with a gentle and good-tempered personality like you would Feeling a bit tired...but I guess if you think they are the best then of course they are. Everyone is not perfect, but he will always be the best in the world in someone's heart, no one else can compare superior."

"Thank you, you're right." Lupine propped his forehead and smiled, his eyes sparkling, "I'm going up to find them, Eli, thank you very much...you must be the best in everyone else's heart too, There must be many people who think so.”

I don't seem to need so much.Eli waved him goodbye and went on looking through his schoolbag.He found a new notebook in it, and wrote two more pages on it, when the phone next to him suddenly rang.

There seems to be no one waiting to answer the phone?Eli looked around in the common room, but didn't find anyone who seemed to have an appointment with the person on the phone.So he reached out to pick it up and asked politely, "Hello? Gryffindor common room."

"Eli..."

"Petunia?" Eli heard the other party's voice, and sat up straight unexpectedly, "You didn't say you would call tonight, what happened?"

"No, it's nothing." Petunia said, "I got your letter..."

Ah, yes.Eli smiled and leaned back on the armchair relaxedly: "Wendis is quite fast. Would you like to understand my thoughts? I know that not everything is good here, but it's really not as good as you imagined." No, I belong here."

He said a few words, but there was no response on the phone.Eli stopped and asked a little puzzled, "Petunia?"

"I didn't mean to tell you that," Petunia said, her breath coming and her voice strained, "I... I'm..."

She couldn't say anything further, and tightly clutched the phone receiver.In her other hand, she held the photo attached to the letter. Her name was shining in it. Behind her was the snowy castle and the rolling mountains, as if that was the other side of the world.

Petunia took a deep breath uncontrollably, and pressed her heart firmly with the hand holding the photo, as if this could honestly hold the heart that was about to jump out of her chest.Her heart was beating so fast, it was like the summer she would never forget, when her sister received an admission letter from the wizarding world, and she had witnessed her sister displaying that magical ability since she was a child, different from Ordinary people, being favored by others, favored by heaven... She has confirmed countless times that she does not have that kind of ability, that kind of luck, but she still wrote the letter that night with trembling hands, mustering up the courage, Get it for yourself once.

She felt that relentless bravery seemed to return to her body, but this time she didn't even know why it came from, and what she wanted to fight for.Her eyes were startlingly bright, but she was unable to speak.She pressed the photo tighter on her heart, as if in this way she could completely integrate it into her body, making every possibility of it her own.

"I just want to say that I know you're right." She finally said a little bit, sighing deeply silently, but speaking gently and solemnly.

"I know... know you're the best."
