In the small bungalow at No. 8 Privet Drive, there was a gasp on the stairs leading to the second floor.
"No way … I'm not mistaken … It's dragon scabies!
Dragon scabies are here! "
Ron was incoherent as Jenny covered his mouth. Harry curiously looked at the headmaster who had good medical skills. He looked like Santa Claus, his beard was too long!
"Hello, Headmaster Dumbledore, nice to meet you." Anna quickly shook Dumbledore's outstretched hand, showing an appropriate amount of excitement to cover up the embarrassment of not daring to look directly into his eyes.
Lena heard the voice and came over, taking off her apron. "Anna, who is this?"
"Headmaster Dumbledore of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." Anna took a step back and gave up her seat.
"Oh!
Headmaster Dumbledore! "
Lena shook hands with Dumbledore and introduced herself. "I'm Anna's mother, Lena Lawrence. Although I'm a Muggle, I know about you!"
Dumbledore laughed. "Ms. Lawrence, I know you, Bolen's granddaughter. I've heard him mention you before …"
Lena was a little surprised. "My grandfather?
You know him? "
"Of course, he's a student of an old friend of mine." Dumbledore winked mysteriously. "Let me think, I saw him when I went to France last January …"
France?
Old friend?
Could it be Nico Lemaire?
My great-grandfather is his student!?
Anna felt that she didn't have a deep enough impression of her giant great-grandfather. Perhaps she should add the word 'super' in front of 'giant'.
"Let's not talk about this, Ms. Lawrence. I need to take Anna to the Magic World." He gently waved his hand to stop Lena from continuing. "I know you're already familiar with the Magic World, but it's a tradition for Hogwarts to send a professor to welcome a little wizard living in the Muggle World …"
"I see," Lena expressed her understanding.
"That's so enthusiastic!
Let's go, Headmaster Dumbledore … "Anna looked a little impatient.
Lin Sanjiu did not know if Dumbledore was performing Soul Extraction on Liana. If she stayed a little longer, the wise old man might discover all kinds of abnormalities about her.
The butterfly effect would be huge, and Voldemort might even be eliminated in advance. If the system didn't change, what if a new Voldemort appeared a few years later?
At that time, his advantage of knowing the plot would be gone!
Most importantly … if Voldemort left too early … wouldn't there be no one to take the blame for his evil deeds?!
Then how could they secretly reform the magic world?
"Of course, Miss Lawrence. Please take my arm." Dumbledore smiled innocently at Anna.
Anna waved her hand toward the house, grabbed the white-bearded old man's arm, and disappeared in the envious eyes of the people on the stairs.
"That's Headmaster Dumbledore. Charlie and the others don't usually see him at school …" Ron was a little yearning. "I also want to be taken with him …"
"Dream on. Mom will arrange everything for us." George shrugged. "And even if a professor comes, the probability of Headmaster Dumbledore is very low."
"What do you mean?" Harry looked over. He also hoped that the headmaster would come to take him to familiarize himself with the magic world.
"Bill and we teased Headmaster Dumbledore about being lazy … When he and his classmates were talking about welcoming new students in the lounge, they found that none of the little Muggle wizards in Gryffindor were welcomed by the headmaster …"
Fred shrugged. "That's why we said the probability of meeting the headmaster is too low. It's even lower than the probability of getting 'more than expected' in the KS2 exam."
"That's still possible, right?" Harry was full of hope. "After all, you really did get 'more than expected' in the KS2 exam."
"That's a miracle." George shook his head.
"Hearing you say that … I don't want the headmaster to come and pick me up." Ron rested his chin on his hand. "That's too special … It makes me feel uncomfortable …"
"You don't feel well?"
Jenny couldn't understand. She tilted her head and looked at him strangely. "Headmaster Dumbledore is just taking the students to buy things. He's not sending them to Azkaban. Why would you feel uncomfortable?"
Harry nodded. "And he looks very cool."
Ron shrugged.
When the Shifting Shadows ended, Anna felt as if she was squeezed out of a pipe and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Dumbledore caught her in time.
It was not the noisy street as she expected. Anna looked up and saw a huge stone fortress in front of her. Her pupils began to tremble.
Sea breeze, waves, a black castle on an isolated island … Why does it feel so similar …
Azkaban?
"Headmaster … Headmaster Dumbledore …" Anna swallowed hard and touched the wand in her pocket. "I thought we were going to Diagon Alley to buy things …"
"We do go to Diagon Alley." Dumbledore nodded in agreement. "But before that, we usually have a legal education activity prepared for the little wizards living in the Muggle world."
What the hell?
Anna was in disbelief.
"Visiting Azkaban, Miss Lawrence. The building in front of you holds hundreds of vicious criminals." Dumbledore walked forward. "I hope that through this activity, you will be able to learn something, just like all the other children in the past."
The old man was very evil. Anna dared to guarantee with her 'Ma Dongmei' level of memory that the first seven Harry Potter novels never mentioned anything about going to Azkaban for legal education!
Anna thought that Dumbledore probably guessed what she had done … But it seemed that he was going to prioritize education first …
"Of course, I will study hard and seriously experience it." Anna was flustered, but she felt that she could not be scared.
Stepping on the wet ground, the two came to the entrance of the fortress. As soon as they got close, the door opened automatically, and an Auror in black clothes ran over.
"Headmaster Dumbledore, welcome." He looked at Anna strangely, shook his head, and did not say anything.
"Don't mind us too much, Dier. Go do your thing. We are just looking around." Dumbledore patted Auror's shoulder.
It was like he was casually sending away a salesperson in a shopping mall. Anna complained as she followed Dumbledore closely.
She looked around. Look at this place. This atmosphere is more terrifying than the Scream Shack. Perhaps it could earn the title of 'Britain's scariest place'.
"Yes …" Auror was a little hesitant. After thinking for a moment, he turned and left. After all, this was the greatest light wizard of the century. What could happen?
Could it be that he would help the prisoner escape?
"He used to be Gryffindor's student. He was very outstanding," Dumbledore explained as he led Anna up the stone stairs.
The cold air was mixed with the smell of food and the sea breeze. They could vaguely hear the painful moans of the prisoners.
Dumbledore took Anna's arm thoughtfully. "Don't be afraid, Miss Lawrence. This is just an educational activity."
Haha. Anna did not know what to say. She forced a smile.
There were some gray things flying in the sky. The higher the two went, the more Anna could feel a sense of despair beginning to spread.
Half of this despair was caused by the Dementors, and the other half came from the steep stairs. Anna held her knees and gasped for breath.
"Then let's do it on this floor." Dumbledore walked into the passage of the prison cells.
Anna followed him. She could see that there were people in every damp single cell. They were dressed in rags, sitting or lying down. Some were crying, some were digging at the stone walls with their nails.
The only thing in common was that there was a huge mass of gray floating in front of them.
"This floor holds prisoners who abuse black magic and cause great harm to the magic world or the Muggle world." Dumbledore paused. "There are also some Death Eaters."
He found that Anna was very interested in the things on the prisoners' faces. "Those are Dementors. They are very evil creatures that can suck away people's happiness. If you are kissed by them …"
"Then I'll definitely throw up!" Anna interrupted.
Dumbledore was amused. "Their kisses will suck away people's souls."
The laughter attracted the attention of some of the Dementors floating in the sky. How dare someone laugh in my place? How disrespectful!
A Dementor charged at Dumbledore menacingly.
Dumbledore took out his wand. Some blue mist condensed at the tip of the wand. Before Anna could see what shape it was, the Dementor had already turned around and left.
"This is a protection spell. It can effectively expel Dementors. It looks very beautiful when it's really cast, but I won't show it here."
Anna noticed that because of Dumbledore's protection spell, the Dementor in the cell closest to him was also scared away. The long-haired man, who was paralyzed in the corner, shook his head.
Dumbledore also noticed this. "I hope the Ministry of Magic won't make trouble for me."
He looked carefully at the man's face and sighed. "He was also a student of Gryffindor. A very good boy."
Thin body, waxy white skin, and Dumbledore's sigh. Anna felt that she had guessed who the man was.
