Dressed as a Hogwarts portrait

"I think, the Goblet of Fire might... I mean, it's impossible..." Ludo Bagman's first thing after waking up after emergency treatment was to grab the parchment, "Whatever the name means Who is it! Headmaster Dumbledore, you cannot deny that there is this man in the castle."

"Actually, I didn't deny it..." The white wizard said slowly, but his convincing and kind elder appearance in the past was gone, and the smiling expression now only caused more annoyance.

"I need to know what happened!" Madame Maxime's lips were still trembling.

"Nothing happened, we are discussing who is Miss Nix's second contest."

"How long are you going to hide this matter?" Crouch's face was distorted for a moment, and Dumbledore seemed to glance at him indifferently, and then smiled. Now his appearance made the office Everyone in the room was skeptical: "Mr. Crouch, please calm down. In fact, if I really say it, no one will believe it."

Ludo Bagman's expression proved that he would faint at any time.

"I think, I don't need to listen to your facts, I just need to confirm that on the day of the game, it is enough to have such a person who can make the game go smoothly."

"The problem is that this is what you think, I'm afraid it won't work." Dumbledore habitually tried to lift his glasses, and then found that he was not wearing glasses at all, and then remembered that he had no beard, so he had no choice but to put down his hands and used Stirring the cup of black tea in front of him with a spoon, looking at the stiff-faced professors, he suddenly smiled and blinked: "Or, can you ask yourself?"

The incomparably clear sound of gasping was not only because of the suggested association just now, but because of the white wizard's habit of blinking. As an old man, he always likes to use this method to get closer. A naughty attitude, but obviously Dumbledore didn't realize what it would be like when he put on his seventeen or eighteen-year-old appearance to do this old habit.

It's a pity that although there is no mirror on the opposite side, the portraits of the principal hanging on the wall of the principal's office have already answered Wizard White with expressions - they can't agree.

Professor McGonagall and Mrs. Maxime had weird expressions after a dull meeting. Well, now everyone really feels that the white wizard is indeed a standard Gryffindor. Professor McGonagall got stuck in his throat and didn't say a word. ——that winking expression instantly destroyed all the steady and gentle appearance, just like the mischievous smiles of the Weasley twins, it became flippant but has the charm that fascinates ignorant girls.

Karkaroff's face was as black as a Potions Master's.

When Dumbledore's phoenix flew out, Salazar and Lingcha were leaning over a black magic notebook with torn pages. It was very obvious that it was from the old bookstore in Knockturn Alley. It was suppressed, and many research notes and books related to this aspect had to be implicitly annotated in poetry collections and overviews of partial alchemy.Some are written in ancient runes, and some are hidden with spells. Even if people later discover the secrets of the notes, they have to ponder them carefully.

Salazar was still leaning on the bed, Ling Cha was sitting on the edge of the bed, their shoulders were touching, and from time to time, they repeated some old speeches in a low voice according to the torn line on the page, and then corrected each other, Ling Cha brought it back His lunch was put on the table without even taking off the silver lid, obviously forgotten, only the sound of the magic hourglass slowly slipping down was silent.

The phoenix flew out from the fireplace. After breaking through an invisible magical defense, it quickly dropped a piece of parchment, and then rushed towards the fireplace with flapping wings. It looked like it was being chased by something. .

Magical creatures are extremely sensitive, and the wisdom of the phoenix told it long ago that the farther away from these two people the better, otherwise, it might not even have a chance of nirvana.

"Salazar?"

Ling Cha used a silent spell to hold the parchment in his hand, and looked suspiciously at Salazar who seemed to have killing intent every time he saw this phoenix.

"It is impossible for a powerful magical creature to be tamed by a wizard. Even if it is killed by a wizard, it will not surrender obediently, unless it comes out of the eggshell, and the first thing it sees when it opens its shell is not its own kind, but its own kind. Master." Salazar said blankly, with an unstoppable coldness in his eyes, "Although the phoenix is ​​said to be immortal, even though this one was not raised by Mia... this does not give up the power that the phoenix blood can give. the danger we pose."

"We have lost our original body, and the curse talent of the Nyx family is connected with the bloodline, and it also eliminates what was previously excluded."

"If you have not forgotten, it pecked out Aerys' eye."

"Salazar, Aerys would be glad to be here. She always thought you didn't dote on her like I do."

The two of them were too close, their breath was almost spit between each other's necks, the originally slightly cold skin was affected by the heat, and there were naughty red spots, which were especially obvious on the fair complexion, especially when they saw each other clearly The bruise marks extending from the neck to the neckline, the confusion of last night came into the eyes, and I felt a little dazed.

"Aerys doesn't know what the second game is... did you tell her?"

"...If you put it that way, she's sure...heh, she won't look at that inedible egg..."

"Tell that Potter that it's underwater...in the black lake..." Salazar panted slightly unsteadily.

"...Only an hour to rescue a person from underwater."

Ling Cha didn't care about what he was talking about at all, he hugged Salazar's shoulders, so that they were completely close to each other, exchanging kisses and caresses chaotically but not out of control.

It seems that there is no intense touch, no indulgence of reason, sober control of all feelings, very at ease, although the body is longing for more, but the spirit is already satisfied and groans slightly.

The unread parchment had already been put aside, so Dumbledore, who was the first to poke his head out of the fireplace fifteen minutes later, retracted immediately without blinking in surprise.

The white wizard's reaction was very quick, because two bright red lights hit the fireplace almost in the next second, the flames burst suddenly, and then shattered together with the fireplace silently.

"Hogwarts?!"

Salazar raised his head from the bed, anger hidden in his eyes.

The fireplace returned to its original state almost in the next second, and the flame was still burning quietly, as if nothing had happened.

To be precise, Hogwarts castle is very innocent, the Slytherin founder's room, the fireplace is not connected to any Floo network, and apparation is prohibited-although this is aimed at house-elves now, Phoenix can only break through the magic defense to get in.But the headmaster still has the right to temporarily open this passage, because he has clearly known that such a place exists, and accurately made the castle open for him according to the contract.The contract is dead, and Hogwarts, after verifying that its founder did not say that the headmaster is not allowed to visit from the fireplace temporarily, made the white wizard see a scene that should not have been seen very inappropriately.

But since then—

"Hogwarts, no one is allowed to enter this room through any of the passages except the outside picture frame."

Ling Cha's complexion is also not good-looking, who would want their privacy to be seen by others?Especially since he was a Slytherin and the man who saw it was the White Wizard.

The parchment that was thrown aside just now floated up, and it was the logo font of Dumbledore's circle inside a circle.

"Your Excellency, if time permits, I will come to bother you in 15 minutes about Iris's second match. I am quite sorry to learn that the match is to save people underwater within a certain period of time. The list is from Given the Goblet of Fire, I don't think the mermaid would be willing to come and take you away."

Ling Cha finally realized what he had forgotten.

After all, the memory is long, and it is impossible to remember every detail, especially those things that were not dangerous in the original memory. I only remember that when Harry Potter rescued Ron, he also wanted to save Qiu Zhang, but it was a waste of time. Now Thinking about it, he forgot the most crucial point, how the candidates are selected.

"That golden egg!"

He had to hear for himself what the mermaid song was about.

"Principal Dumbledore?"

The white wizard jumped out of the fireplace in a panic, and almost a second later, a terrible black flame burst out from the fireplace. Although Dumbledore reacted quickly, he only had time to back away, and Karkaroff raised his wand , A defensive spell that definitely belongs to black magic was thrown in the past. The Ministry of Magic officials and professors present saw it and could only ignore it. After all, the black magic of Professor Durmstrang's students is not a secret.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when the fireplace in the principal's office appeared intact from the fading black flames.Dumbledore had returned to his smiling expression, and no one could see the slightest surprise from his face.

However, he already knew a fact that even Gellert could not think of.

It can clearly explain the eccentric temper of the Duke of Slytherin, the differences between legends and reality, as well as the root cause of different opinions that have not devoured disputes as Horcruxes - he was born with two personalities, and due to loneliness or other reasons, In the midst of the two minds, the most elusive and inseparable love appeared.

Because they understand each other thoroughly and completely, they will not let go of each other's hands.

This is indeed deeper than any vow and love in this world, because there will be no suspicion and separation because there is no worry about gains and losses.

"Dumbledore, do you want me to believe that you are just going to meet Salazar Slytherin? Ha, that's a good joke!" Mrs. Maxime almost believed it at first, but the accident in the fireplace, coupled with The original hostility towards Hogwarts finally made reason overwhelm panic again. Even in the wizarding world, there is no fact of immortality.

"Yes, it's the same as your outfit today. This surprise is really good." Ludo Bagman was also confused, waving his hands incoherently, "I think, I should go back... Ah, yes, until the early morning of the 24th Come on... I mean, of course the game will go well, bye."

The expressions of the four deans are very obvious, they don't believe that the competition can go smoothly!

—Salazar Slytherin would never lose consciousness and be taken underwater by a merman to be rescued by a basilisk, neither of which is possible.
