Chapter 22
"I said this kid was a terrible little wizard, and I should have sent him to Azkaban!" said the Sorting Hat abruptly on a shelf behind his desk.
At the same time, the portraits of past Hogwarts Headmasters hanging on the walls began to speak
"This kid is strange, Albus, the source of his power is unknown!".
"And he's only eleven years old, how could he possibly know so many things?".
"The people behind him, or his teachers, who can teach these things must not be simple!".
The headmasters chattered and discussed, but Dumbledore didn't have the heart to listen to them.
He stared at the place where Shane had disappeared, the light in his eyes sharpening and sharpening, and it was obvious that he heard Shane's last message.
"Evra, please inform Severus and let him come here. Dumbledore abruptly interrupted the headmasters' discussions, and the noisy office fell silent.
In response to Dumbledore's request, Evra simply nodded, did not speak, and turned and disappeared into the portrait.
In less than ten minutes, the oak door to the Headmaster's office was pushed open again, and Snape walked in with his usual black robes.
"Headmaster!".
"Severus, do you know about Horcruxes?" Dumbledore asked straight to the point.
"Horcruxes?!" Snape frowned, as if thinking of something, "you mean ......
".
"That's right, we should have thought of it, the secret of his immortality!" Dumbledore said coldly, holding one hand on a corner of the table, "Did he tell you about the Horcrux?"
"As far as I can remember, no," Snape affirmed, "I would like to ask if the source of the information is from Sean Dolea?"
"You know?".
"On the way here, some of the students said that a flame suddenly appeared in the hallway, and then Dorea suddenly appeared there. Snape explained, "Can you be sure that Dorea can be trusted?"
"He's been doing a lot of things at school just a week after school starts, and some of my old friends have managed to escape from the Ministry of Magic and are still missing!"
"This is something I've asked a friend from the Ministry of Magic to investigate!" Dumbledore handed Snape an open letter, "and it contains some information about Sean Dolea." "
"Dorea appears to have been adopted, and until more than a year ago he had been given the surname Swinton, and he was not called Shane. "
"Until he was ten years old, he was no different from a normal Muggle child, and he didn't even show any potential to become a wizard, but just after he was ten years old, he inexplicably changed his name without the slightest reaction from the family that adopted him. "
"My friend also retrieved the records of magical anomalies near Dorea's house in the past year, and found that from the time Dorea was ten years old, the magical anomalies near his house were more than ten times ......
before."
"Do you suspect that Dorea's real family has come looking for him?" asked Snape, taking a cursory look at the investigative report in his hand.
"Yes, if the people who taught Dor the magic were Death Eaters, then with their actions, the Swintons would not be alive!" Dumbledore speculated.
"Is it possible that the real Dolea was already dead at the age of ten, and someone used a polyjuice decoction to replace him?!".
"Severus, anyone is responsible for what they say, isn't it naïve for you to say such things as a potions master?" Dumbledore's eyes suddenly became stern, "At least you can tell if a person has drunk a polyjuice potion!"
"But Headmaster, Dorea is still suspicious!" Snape's grim face was still pestering, "I can't trust him, at least not for any reason to trust him right now!".
"Severus, he's just a child!" Dumbledore's eyes showed a look of memory and remorse, "I was exactly like you now, but it turns out that I was wrong, my distrust has created an extremely dangerous dark wizard, and I don't want you to repeat my mistakes." "
"Trust me, Severus!
Dumbledore said this not because of anything else, but because he knew through the portraits what Sean had said to Hermione: power controls people, and if a person does not have a mature will and mind, there is no way to control the power of magic.
So with this simple sentence alone, Dumbledore could clearly understand what kind of person Shane really was.
Sean Dolea, he is an extremely calm man, he has a mind and a will of his own!
He is not like Tom at the beginning, he only has power in his eyes until he falls into the abyss, he knows exactly what he is doing!
And Snape heard Dumbledore persuade Shane so much, even if he had all the doubts in his heart, he couldn't say anything more.
With a gloomy face, he threw the report on Shane on the table, then turned around and walked quickly to the door of the office.
"Severus, Horcrux!" Dumbledore reminded as he watched Snape's vanishing back.
Snape didn't respond, but Dumbledore knew he knew what he was going to do.
After Snape left, a hint of helplessness appeared on Dumbledore's face, and he slowly walked to a black cabinet in his office and opened it.
In the cabinet was a shallow stone basin made of metal or stone, with runines and symbols carved on the rim.
This is the meditation basin, and the memory that became the thought becomes a bright silver substance in it.
Dumbledore leaned down in front of the meditation basin, his Elder Wand aimed at his temple, and then a glowing wisp of white floc was withdrawn.
Putting his memories into the meditation basin, Dumbledore entered the memories of the past, and he sought to find the future in a past that had been neglected.
But after some time, Dumbledore pulled his thoughts out of his memory.
Unfortunately, he didn't find anything useful, and it was true that Voldemort was too perfect during his time at Hogwarts in his youth.
But there is nothing perfect in this world.
Dumbledore thoughtfully closed the black cabinet containing the meditation basin and slowly walked back to his snack table.
He pondered as he opened the glass jar containing the cockroaches and reached inside, but the result was ......
Didn't touch anything!
"Oh my God! he ate up my cockroach pile!" Dumbledore looked at the glass jar in chagrin, which was completely empty, and Shane didn't even give him a cockroach leg.
Looks like we'll have to get some from Duke Honey, but ...... before that
"Fawkes, please send me to Nicol!" Dumbledore wanted to go to Nicol Lemay, he would know more about Horcruxes.
As soon as the words fell, Fawkes spread his wings, and his whole body was once again lit with golden flames.
After a burst of crying, a phoenix and a white-bearded old man disappeared into the principal's office......
On the other side, after Shane was surrounded by Fawkes's flames, he saw the flash of fire in front of him, and went directly to the corridor on the first floor of Hogwarts, and also fell and squatted.
"Damn! I'm not done yet!" said Shane as he stood up, rubbing his ass flesh and grumbling.
He looked up at the sky, and when he saw that it was not early, he took out the mechanical pocket watch in his pocket and looked at it.
Oh roar, it's almost six o'clock, it's time for dry dinner!
Originally, after the Potions class, he and Hermione agreed to go to the library to read books together, but because of the old bee's sideways, he has now missed the appointment!
It's definitely too late to go to the library now.
So Shane drew his wand and waved it casually, "Go!".
An owl of light and shadow flew out ......
In the library on the second floor of Hogwarts, Hermione was intently reading a book.
But suddenly, she heard a commotion around her, and she looked up curiously, and it turned out to be a glowing owl flying into the library through the window.
"Shane?!".
Hermione immediately recognized who had made the magic, and she had only seen Shaun use it in all of Hogwarts.
The owl landed in front of Hermione, and the body of Light and Shadow suddenly spread out into tiny particles of light, and recomposed a text on the table: I am in the Great Hall.
It is also accompanied by a pattern of "a bowl with rice and a chopstick on it".
Hermione was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, she heard Mrs. Pince's angry voice coming from not far away.
"Which little bastard would dare to use magic in the library?!".
Hermione only felt a cool air rush from her back when she heard this, and immediately put away her books and ran out of the library.
She didn't want Mrs. Pince to find out that the owl had something to do with her, even the Weasley Twins, who were known for their pranks at Hogwarts, wouldn't dare to make trouble in the library, that would be miserable!
Leaving the library, Hermione hurried to the Great Hall.
It was dinner time, and the Great Hall was full, but Hermione quickly recognized the figure who was being watched and feasted on.
Hermione walked slowly over to Shane, and she looked at the stack of empty plates stacked so high that she was shocked.
How can a little wizard eat so much, and adults can't eat so much, right?!
But actually, there is a reason why Shane eats so much.
[Origin] can indeed help Shane passively increase the amount of mana in his body, but this passive will also consume a lot of Shane's physical strength, if he doesn't eat more, he will be sucked dry by his natal magic!
"Shane!" Hermione stepped forward.
"Oh, Hermione, you're here!" said Shane, swallowing a lamb chop and handing a chicken leg to Hermione, "Here, here you are!".
"I'll eat later, is Professor Dumbledore looking for you for something?"
"Hmm......" Shane asked, glancing up at the ceiling of the Great Hall with a lamb rib in his mouth, "Do you want to hear the truth or lie?"
