Hogwarts: I graduated before the system came

"Fawkes is a phoenix, Harry. When a phoenix dies, it burns itself to death and then rises from the ashes. You watch it..."

While Dumbledore and Harry were talking, Douglas went up to the pile of ashes and saw a tiny, wrinkled chick poking its head out from the ashes.

Just as he was about to pick up the little bird with his hands.

Dumbledore said quickly:

"Douglas, please let Fox go. He didn't want people to see him like that, especially during his nirvana... Besides, he's still so small..."

Douglas withdrew his hand and said dissatisfiedly:

"Mr. Principal, please give me some trust. I don't eat anything!"

When the wrinkled little bird saw Douglas, it immediately used its tender wings to pull the surrounding ashes onto itself and bury itself.

Douglas???

Dumbledore laughed.

Harry tried hard not to laugh!

Chapter 130 The Sorting Hat's Accusation

Douglas glanced at Harry, chuckled, then turned to Dumbledore and said:

"Mr. Potter is a Parseltongue!"

Suddenly, the office was silent. Phineas on the wall (Phineas Black was the first headmaster of Hogwarts to graduate from Slytherin) looked at Harry in surprise and muttered softly:

"This is impossible. How could the heir of Slytherin be a little lion? This is impossible..."

This time the other portraits did not stop him and looked at Harry with incredible eyes.

Harry looked through Dumbledore's half-moon glasses and saw a pair of sharp, bright, and penetrating blue eyes, which made his heart tremble.

Thankfully, Dumbledore only glanced at Harry, then back at Douglas.

Douglas was not that nervous. He found a chair and sat down and said:

"I've tried it. Although I've never heard of Parseltongue, it does sound like a snake..."

Dumbledore stood up straight and said kindly:

"Harry, please sit down. What would you like to drink? Tea or juice? Don't be so nervous..."

Harry, who was imagining all kinds of things, was unable to react for a while after hearing what Dumbledore said.

"Ah! I'm sorry, Principal, I...you..."

Douglas smiled and pointed to a chair and said:

"Relax, sit down first. Professor, give us a glass of juice. We had a greasy meal at Hagrid's just now."

Dumbledore knocked on the table twice, and two glasses of juice appeared on the table next to Douglas and Harry.

When Harry saw Douglas's relaxed demeanor, he immediately calmed down. He quickly said thank you and sat down.

Douglas watched Dumbledore's move and felt that he had been fooled again.

With his current level of Transfiguration, he is not able to do this so easily. Now he can only snap his fingers to cancel some relatively simple Transfiguration.

Dumbledore noticed Douglas's subtle pout and immediately picked up a candy and put it in his mouth with a smile.

Then, based on Douglas's description, he and Dumbledore personally conducted an experiment.

Finally confirmed that what Harry said was indeed Parseltongue.

Harry sat there anxiously, watching Dumbledore in deep thought nervously.

Suddenly Dumbledore looked up and said to Harry calmly:

"Harry, you don't have to be afraid. Although I don't know whether James and Lily's ancestors married the descendants of Salazar Slytherin, your Parseltongue is not innate. It's because Voldemort can speak Parseltongue..."

Douglas coughed lightly, stood up and said:

"Ahem, Professor, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave..."

Dumbledore winked at him mysteriously and said:

"Wait a minute, we have something else to discuss...

Of course, I think Harry wouldn't mind you knowing something, I mean, to some extent you do have the right to know!"

Harry also said quickly:

"I have great faith in Professor Holmes. He has helped me a lot!"

Douglas wasn't sure what Dumbledore meant, but he didn't dare to think too much about it at the moment, so he nodded and sat down.

Dumbledore continued:

"Where was I just now? Oh yes, Voldemort is the last heir of Salazar Slytherin, you already know that.

If I'm not mistaken, he transferred some of his magic power to you on the night he scarred you. Of course, I don't think he did it on purpose..."

Harry was stunned and said in surprise:

"Voldemort transferred a part of himself into me..."

Harry always felt that this sentence was very familiar. He was sure that he must have seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember where it was at the moment.

Douglas looked at Dumbledore and found that he was looking at him. It seemed that the old man was thinking of the article.

Then Harry said somewhat collapsed:

"So I'm supposed to be in Slytherin. The Sorting Hat probably saw some Slytherin qualities in me, and it just..."

Dumbledore said slowly:

"Listen to me, Harry. You happen to possess some of the qualities that Salazar Slytherin particularly valued in his selection of his students.

Some rare gift of his own, Parseltongue... resourcefulness... strong will... and a certain contempt for the law..."

At this point, Douglas clearly saw Dumbledore's silver beard trembling slightly, and then he heard Dumbledore suddenly ask him:

"Douglas, I remember when we were chatting you said that the Sorting Hat wanted to put you in Gryffindor, right?"

When Douglas heard Dumbledore suddenly ask him this question, he turned his head to look at the Sorting Hat on the shelf beside him, nodded and said:

"Yes, of course I don't dislike Gryffindor, I just think Hufflepuff is more suitable for me... So, I suggested that it sort me into Hufflepuff..."

Suddenly, a voice came:

"No! He's lying. He wants to tear me apart and study my brain. Gryffindor will only encourage his arrogance..."

Several people looked at the Sorting Hat, which suddenly shut up, and then looked at Douglas.

The paintings on the wall all looked surprised and glanced at Douglas.

Douglas shrugged his shoulders and said like a strange uncle trying to persuade a child:

"Don't you think it's cool to carry a prop that can teach you how to learn magic? This prop can be a hat, earrings, or even a ring or necklace..."

Harry nodded subconsciously, thinking that it would be really cool if he had a prop like this, which he could chat with at any time and remind himself of the answers in class. (After putting on the Sorting Hat, you can directly communicate with it.)

Dumbledore asked curiously:

"So, what are your research results?"

Douglas shook his head regretfully:

"It has always been unwilling to let me study it. Alas, I can't tame it. I taught it so many interesting songs in vain..."

Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief and quickly turned the subject back to Harry, asking:

"Harry, do you understand now?"

Harry was still immersed in the fantasy of his grandfather. When he heard Dumbledore's question, he answered subconsciously:

"Actually, I think it would be best to make it into a ring, just like in the book Professor Holmes. You can also add an Infinite Extension Charm to the ring. Hermione told me this, saying that it would be like in the book... Ah, what happened to the headmaster?"

Before Harry could finish his fantasy, Dumbledore glared at Douglas and knocked on the table, interrupting Harry.

He said helplessly:

"I mean, what do you think about what Douglas said about the sorting..."

Harry suddenly understood, nodded quickly and said:

"Like Professor Holmes, I asked not to go to Slytherin, but I never threatened the Sorting Hat... Headmaster, you can ask the Sorting Hat."

But the Sorting Hat was like an ordinary hat and didn't speak again.

Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief. The topic was finally back on track, and a smile appeared on his face again:

"That's what makes the difference between you and Tom. Harry, it's our choice to be our true selves that matters more than our abilities.

Just like Douglas, although he has some qualities of Gryffindor, he is still a qualified Hufflepuff..."

Harry sat on the stool, thinking carefully about what Dumbledore had said.

And from time to time he glanced at Douglas who was eating a banana. Harry found that his thoughts suddenly diverged, and suddenly he thought of the title of Douglas's book "The Flathead Brother Who Loves Bananas", and he laughed subconsciously.

This action left Douglas and Dumbledore puzzled.

Harry was also very scared at this moment. His confinement had just ended and he had just started to enjoy a wonderful vacation.

So he thought quickly and said:

"President, Professor, I've figured it out. Life is like a bunch of beans. You never know what the next one will taste like. No matter whether the road ahead is smooth or winding, you must never forget your original intention..."

No, no, what I want to say is that life is like a multiple-choice question. Since I have chosen Gryffindor, as long as I stick to my heart, then I am Gryffindor, no matter whether I have the qualities of other colleges... "

Dumbledore nodded with satisfaction. Although Harry's answer was irrelevant, it at least hit the point.

Douglas was stunned. The words Harry said were all the chicken soup for the soul he used to fool his students in class, but the other party actually used them directly.

Harry saw Douglas's expression and quickly forced an ugly smile.

Chapter 131 Multifunctional Magic Radio Produced by the System

Douglas looked at Dumbledore and said:

"So can we get rid of the basilisk in the chamber now?"

Harry suddenly felt as if he had heard some incredible secret, and this secret must be related to himself.

Dumbledore glanced at Harry, thought for a moment, and asked:

"Douglas, what are your plans?"

Douglas was stunned and suddenly felt a little dissatisfied. He said this as if he had planned it.

But then he took out a piece of parchment from his pocket with a lot of sentences written on it.

He handed it to Dumbledore and said:

"These are the Parseltongue commands I can think of to open the Chamber of Secrets and release the Basilisk. We can have Harry recite them one by one in Parseltongue, and then release the sound. This way, Harry won't have to risk entering the Chamber of Secrets."

Upon hearing this, Harry became anxious before Dumbledore could say anything. He had finally realized that his Parseltongue was a key. His original key was right here, but Professor Holmes actually wanted to use a duplicate key. It was so disrespectful of him.

"Professor, although I don't know anything about the Chamber of Secrets and the Basilisk, I think I can participate. There is no need to record it. Don't forget that I am a Gryffindor student and I am not afraid of taking risks... and Hogwarts cannot use Muggle electrical equipment..."

Dumbledore was like a referee. After listening to Harry's words, he looked at Douglas with a smile on his face.

Without saying a word, Douglas took out a pocket radio from his pocket. This was a product he had purchased through the system at the cost of fifty points. It was very useful and could even receive broadcasts from the Wizard Wireless Network.

It wasn't that he wasn't willing to modify existing recording products in the Muggle world, but it was too troublesome. Colloid records needed to be recorded mechanically, and there were certain requirements for the sound frequency; magnetic tapes were easily affected by the magnetic field of Hogwarts, so new alternative materials needed to be found; and modifying the CD burning machine was even more troublesome.

It’s better to have a system so that you don’t have to waste your brain cells on such things.

Harry was stunned when he saw the radio. He actually recognized that thing, especially the obvious telescopic antenna.

And the large wooden radio he saw at the Burrow could receive various programs broadcast by the Wizarding World Network, which showed that this kind of appliance could indeed be used in the magical world.

But if he remembered correctly, the radio didn't seem to have a recording function, which made Harry very confused.

Douglas introduced:

"This is a modified radio. Of course, it's more than just a radio. When I was making it, I added a small function that allows it to record 30 minutes of sound and play it back without distortion. So, I call it a multifunctional magic radio!"

The system is his, and the modified radio was made by the system. To be precise, it was made by him. To some extent, he did not lie.

Dumbledore took the radio with great interest and exclaimed:
