As the first Slytherin headmaster for many years, and the most unpopular headmaster in the history of Hogwarts, Phineas Black raised questions that not only he himself was curious about, but every previous headmaster in the portrait said. Out of great curiosity.
Dumbledore was not surprised by this question, and he also knew very well what Principal Black would say to him next.
"If you mean overpowering him in a duel--"
After thinking for a moment, Dumbledore answered the question, "Maybe it can still be done, but I'm afraid this situation won't last long."
"Just suppress?" Armando Dippet frowned and said dissatisfied, "We all know your humble style, Albus, but you don't need to be like this in front of us."
"Not modesty, Professor Armando,"
Dumbledore said gently, with a hint of appreciation in his tone.
"Compared to a few months ago, he has improved a lot. To be honest, I didn't expect him to improve so quickly. The fire spell that Amosta cast tonight was very good and extremely stable. The configuration of the magic spell makes the uncontrollable flames like Li Huo show shocking structural stability. Even I can't easily eliminate such Li Huo... It would be surprising if his magical attainments can remain like this. If the ground speed increases, I’m afraid it won’t be long before I’m at my wits’ end.”
The answer given by Dumbledore satisfied Phineas in the photo frame, but the problem was that the satisfaction was a little too much and he felt uneasy.
"So, Albus -" Phineas said uneasily, "then this young man's soul -"
"Still intact," Dumbledore smiled inexplicably, "This is the only thing that makes me happy tonight."
There was another brief silence. The former headmasters of Hogwarts on the wall were all powerful wizards with extensive knowledge during their lifetimes. They were all thinking about the outstanding young people they had seen during their lifetimes. Who can compare to Amosta Blaine?
"--so,"
Phineas was triumphant and showed a serious wisdom,
"We don't have much choice, right, Albus, the only choice is to win over that young man and let him join our great cause, otherwise...
Oh, with all due respect, Albus, we're screwed if we piss off that young man and he decides to join forces with the Dark Lord whose name I don't even want to mention, one of whom has taken over magic. He is a direct descendant of most pure-blood families in the world, and the other is famous in the underground world where the ancient secret witch sect is active. To be honest, if the two of them join forces, they can walk into Hogwarts with swagger. There's nothing you can do to stop it, Albus. "
This is a terrible future, and the possibility of such a terrible future is not low if they fail to deal with it.
"That kid is very kind,"
Unexpectedly, Ms. Delis took the initiative to defend Amosta.
"We all know the style of that child. He has almost no rivals in the wizarding world, but he has been restraining himself over the years and trying not to hurt others. Moreover, he has been funding the Muggle orphanage that raised him. .”
"The only reason he maintained restraint was Albus Dumbledore." Armando Dippet said sharply.
"it's not true..."
At this time, a hoarse, slow voice suddenly sounded in the office, drawing everyone's attention to a shelf behind Dumbledore.
"Amosta Blaine, that kid, I remember it so well--"
The ragged and wrinkled wizard hat on the shelf shook the tip of the hat and said slowly,
"He is probably the most difficult child I have seen in thousands of years. He has a young body but an unimaginably mature mind. It is difficult, it is really difficult -"
The Sorting Hat's speech aroused great interest in Dumbledore. He turned around to face the Sorting Hat and said enthusiastically,
"Can I trouble you to elaborate?"
"Of course there is no problem, Headmaster Dumbledore," the Sorting Hat muttered in a gibbering tone.
"We all know what qualities each of the Big Four values. Dear principals, over the past millennium, I have peeked into the souls of countless little wizards. Most of the children's thoughts are very easy to understand. It doesn't take much effort for me to make them. They go where they should go... There are also more difficult ones, such as Harry Potter. Slytherin and Gryffindor will help him have an unlimited future... But there is nothing that Potter can do. Compared to Amosta Blaine.”
"What do you mean?"
The curiosity in Dumbledore's eyes became even stronger. He realized that he had made a mistake. He had been trying to see Amosta Brain's soul clearly through the layers of disguise he had put on himself, but he actually failed. He ignored that he had already had the opportunity to experience the real Amosta Brain.
"Very interesting, extremely rare...oh, never seen before, gentlemen, principals..."
The Sorting Hat laughed.
"The courage that Gryffindor values, the wisdom that Ravenclaw values, the kindness that Hufflepuff values, the ambition that Slytherin values... He has them all, fellow headmasters, Amosta ·Brain has all this, it is a wonderful thing, Principal Dumbledore, if Potter can draw the Sword of Gryffindor from me and prove that he is the true heir of Gryffindor, then, Amos Ta Brain should be called the heir of Hogwarts, he has all the qualities that the Big Four value!"
The whole room fell silent after the Sorting Hat's speech.
"...all qualities valued by the Big Four..."
Dumbledore also fell into some kind of surprise. His eyes became hollow and he murmured softly,
"Yeah, that's surprising."
"But you sorted him into Slytherin, didn't you?"
Armando Dippet, who has the lowest tolerance for crime, once again expressed his opinion sharply, "This means that in that guy's heart, ambition always overwhelms everything!"
"That's not the case, respectfully Principal Dippet--"
The Sorting Hat once again refuted Armando's words. He laughed hoarsely in a hoarse voice and said slowly,
"At that time, I mean, when a child from the Muggle world first enters the wonderful magical world, he needs ambition and ambition for power to protect himself from harm... But this does not It means that ambition dominates the child's soul...His entry into Slytherin is just a specific choice at a specific age. Dear principals, if that child is sorted again today...he can go anywhere. , Dear Mr. Principal--"
