Hogwarts: This fairy tale is too eerie

Chapter 56 Dumbledore, you don't want to miss the chance to see your sister one last time, do you? (Devilish voice)

Who are you? How dare you disturb my lovely child's peaceful sleep!

"call-

The wind and snow howled, and Snow White's black hair stood on end in anger!

Facing Dumbledore was like facing a thief who was about to steal her beloved child; she exuded an imposing aura!

"I really don't know who disturbed my sleep," Ron muttered under his breath.

"I'm just a wizard who's a bit stronger than the average person."

Dumbledore said calmly and humbly, his white hair flying in the wind and snow, his body standing firm.

"Professor Dumbledore!!"

Professor McGonagall exclaimed in surprise, her heart immediately sinking.

"Did you receive letters from Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley, and then rush back to school?"

Dumbledore is not home tonight.

Professor McGonagall, after learning of Thor's mischief, sent Harry and Ron to write a letter to Dumbledore asking him to return.

As Professor McGonagall said this, she also had some doubts.

Professor Dumbledore...you came back way too fast!

In fact, less than an hour had passed between the end of the Bremen band's frenzied performance and the "Giant Princess" surprise attack.

If the band were to play for hours on end, Hogwarts might as well just explode.

All Apparition, Portkey, and other teleportation magic are prohibited within Hogwarts. Without prior setup, it is also impossible to move between fireplaces using Floo Powder.

In addition, it takes time for owls to deliver messages.

Dumbledore: "Haha, if you observe the owl more closely after you release it, you might find that it didn't actually fly out of Hogwarts."

Professor McGonagall: "You really are incredibly resourceful—ah?"

Professor McGonagall was stunned, staring at Dumbledore's calm expression, feeling her mind go blank!

The owl didn't leave Hogwarts? What does that mean?

"That means Professor Dumbledore was at Hogwarts the whole time!" Hermione's eyes lit up as she realized, "Professor Dumbledore didn't leave at all tonight!!"

"Correct. Ten points for Gryffindor, Miss Granger, keen insight."

Dumbledore nodded approvingly, ignoring Professor Snape's suddenly darkened expression.

Hermione blushed, then shyly and proudly tilted her chin up.

Dumbledore: "Actually, after dinner, Mr. Grimm came to me and gave me a brief overview of the possible attack by powerful illusions tonight."

"Let me pretend to leave first, lure the enemy in, and then... come out and fight."

A hint of helpless amusement crept into Dumbledore's eyes.

Upon hearing this, Professor McGonagall was completely stunned!

Had Thor anticipated everything that would happen tonight and already prepared a countermeasure?

So why did they rush over here in such a hurry?

Professor McGonagall, wand in hand, was filled with deep doubt.

"Hahaha," Professor Flitwick, quick to notice, laughed twice, looking at Thor with admiration, jumping up and down as he said, "Hey! Why didn't Thor come to Ravenclaw? I think he would have been quite suitable!"

Hermione looked at Thor with sparkling eyes, her own thoughts growing stronger.

Ron let out a long sigh of relief: "You should have told me you had a backup plan! You scared me to death! I'm definitely going to lose a few years of my life tonight!"

Harry chuckled and said, "Why didn't I tell you sooner, so you could leak the secret sooner?"

Ron got angry again, glaring at his best friend like a red baboon.

the other side.

Saul was like a stage emcee who had finally revealed the climax of the performance.

He bowed gracefully to the audience below who were gasping in surprise.

You flatter me.

Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape's eyebrows twitched in disbelief.

Dumbledore lamented, "I never imagined that after so many years, this old man would have to do it himself. It's really not friendly to the elderly."

"Professor Dumbledore," Saul said earnestly, "you don't need to belittle yourself. You're still very capable and have a lot to offer."

.

"Keep it up!"

Thor gave Dumbledore a thumbs-up and smiled broadly.

Dumbledore:

""

He doesn't want that kind of encouragement, thank you.

Dumbledore sighed softly, though his peaceful later years had already been taken away to Merlin's hometown on the day Thor entered the school.

But he knew it all too well.

Whether from the perspective of the magical world or from one's own perspective.

He couldn't bring himself to say "no" to Saul.

Saul offered him a deal he couldn't refuse.

In that magical and mysterious library, there might be books belonging to his loved ones.

Just like Lily from Professor Snape's story.

The moment those words left his lips, Dumbledore knew that he was now completely bound to Thor.

Even if what lies ahead is truly hell, he would absolutely rush in without hesitation.

Just like if there really were a resurrection stone in the world, even if it had a vicious curse on it, even if he knew it was impossible to resurrect the dead, he would definitely use it immediately.

"Ariana...."

"6

Dumbledore closed his eyes and silently recited the name that sounded like a curse.

When I opened my eyes again, they were completely calm.

[…Have you guys forgotten something?]

A chilling voice suddenly rang out.

Everyone was startled and quickly turned to look at Snow White, who was still stuck between the trapdoors!

Her face was full of anger, and frost crept onto her flawless cheeks!

Her grape-like dark eyes darted around, looking down at Thor, her red lips parted slightly: "What a naughty child... but his occasional mischief has its charm~"

Fire Demon: "Holy crap, isn't it a bit too early to use steel wool now? —Gulp!"

The fire demon's voice abruptly stopped, and the flames went out with a whoosh, turning into specks of light that flew into Thor's library.

He was locked up.

"To be a demon, you have to know when to hold back," Thor said with a smile, his smile completely unwavering. "Sometimes, if you go too far, it won't be good."

Ron's heart skipped a beat. He cautiously took a few steps back and muttered, "Who said this guy had a good temper?"

When it does release something, it's a huge one!

Cut it off at the source!

"It seems you are not yet able to break through the restrictions of Hogwarts, Your Excellency."

Dumbledore calmly observed Snow White, who was unable to fully emerge from the trapdoor, and nodded knowingly.

Meeting her distorted, angry gaze, he raised his old, withered hand and swung the old wand covered in knots.

He said in a deep voice, "As long as Mr. Green is still at Hogwarts, Hogwarts will protect him!"

"I will not allow any more students to be harmed!!"

"boom--!!!"

Flames, even more magnificent and intense than those of the Fire Demon, poured forth!

As if the sunlight had suddenly pierced through the dark and cold room, an intense heat surged forth!

"So warm!"

Hermione's eyes widened, sensing that this flame was different from the one Thor wielded.

It seems... a bit more positive?

If Thor's flames are likened to demons that burn everything, then Dumbledore's are like "warriors" who purify and banish demons.

"This is white magic, Miss Granger," Professor Flitwick said.

The professor of spells, who had dedicated most of his life to spells (and duels), gazed at the blazing red flames, his eyes sparkling: "So beautiful... Good will always prevail over evil. Truly powerful white magic can never be defeated by any dark force."

Ron: "So—the inherently evil Thor will one day be killed by the righteous Dumbledore?"

Under the silent gaze of everyone, Ron shrank back and silently "zipped up" his mouth.
