Lewis observed the portrait. Phineas Black seemed to be sleeping, with his eyes closed and not moving at all.
This ancestor of the Black family has a thick beard, and his serious expression shows the inherent pride of the Black family. His hair is completely white, setting off his slightly fair skin.
"This guy is always pretending to sleep."
The portrait next to him complained, and Louis recognized it, it was Armando Dippet.
According to rumors, Phineas is the most unpopular headmaster of Hogwarts, but he has also been the headmaster for nearly sixty years, including the current headmaster Dumbledore and the former headmaster Dippet. He is his student, but due to his unpopular attributes, Dippet will naturally not give him a good look.
"Phineas, Phineas, Principal Black..."
Dippet called them twice, but when he didn't respond, he picked up something from the ground and threw it towards Phineas's portrait.
With a "ding" sound, the object hit Phineas on the top of his head with sparse hair, almost making the old guy jump out of the portrait.
"Dippet, do you know what it means to respect teachers and respect morality! It's a shame that I considered you my most valued student back then!!"
"Okay, Phineas, don't make such a fuss. It's unbecoming to let a junior see you."
Delise Derwent spoke. Among the row of portraits of the principal, her status and reputation were relatively high. Moreover, she had also helped Lewis, and she still had a good impression of the Hogwarts student in front of her.
Of course, Dumbledore had informed the principals about Louis' situation, and they knew that the man in front of them was Louis Wiggins himself.
Seeing Principal Derwent speak, Phineas instantly lost his temper, but his expression seemed a little unhappy.
"Mr. Black... Principal." Louis took a deep breath and said to Phineas in his most humble tone, "Professor Dumbledore told me that you know the process of the inheritance incident that year, a hundred years ago. The goblin Landrock invaded Hogwarts, can you tell me what happened and the guardian..."
Upon hearing this, Phineas's face suddenly turned red and he said in an extremely impatient tone,
"You...why do you ask this?"
"Phineas, you can't hide anything." Devonte protested, "We have sworn that the portrait needs to unconditionally assist the current headmaster in doing anything. Now that Louis has given Dumbledore the authority, it means that we also need help. he."
"But this matter will damage my reputation, I can't..."
"This is already an established fact, Phineas." Dippet said, "We will all make many mistakes during our tenure, including my mistake of trusting Riddle, which caused the reactivation of the Chamber of Secrets, but none of us can escape it. These facts are due to our mistakes and incompetence."
Phineas Black took a deep breath. He struggled in his heart for a long time. To be honest, he was a person who paid great attention to his reputation during his lifetime. He could sacrifice the interests of most other people for his own interests.
"The reason why I don't want to talk about that incident is because it is the worst incident I have experienced in my coaching career." Phineas said slowly, "Because of this incident, we sacrificed a highly respected professor, Phineas. Professor Ge sacrificed himself to protect the power of the legacy in the final war with the goblins."
Louis said nothing, he listened to Phineas' story.
"That is a precedent that Hogwarts has never had in thousands of years. A fifteen-year-old student from outside the school entered Hogwarts in the form of a transfer class. It has been so long that I have forgotten this person's name. , in short, Professor Figo went to Diagon Alley to pick up the student with the secret order from the Ministry of Magic and my handwritten confirmation, but on the way back to school, an accident happened."
Professor Figo holds a magic key in his hand. It is said that his wife gave it to him when she was dying. For decades, he has been studying the secrets hidden in the key, but he has never found anything. The arrival of a famous transfer student triggered a series of chain reactions.
The key reacted in the transfer student's hand, but before they could protect the thing, they were attacked on the road. The fire dragon falling from the sky directly wiped out the accompanying Ministry of Magic officials. Professor Figo and the transfer student were also teleported to Gringotts by accident and escaped temporarily.
However, the magic fluctuations caused by the key stimulated the goblins' senses. At that time, there was an informant in Gringotts, the ruler of the Goblin King, Landrock. As expected, he ambushed them inside Gringotts.
But the mysterious key also stimulated the transfer student's ability to sense ancient magic. He obtained a book hidden in Gringotts and used this power to use powerful space magic to escape the pursuit of the goblin army and return. Hogwarts.
"Wait a minute, Principal Black." Louis interrupted, making Phineas frown. He didn't like doing this because it was rude.
"What do you mean by ancient magic sensing power? Is it the same as the ancient magic we use now?"
"There will be some traces of the use of ancient magic in the space." Phineas explained, "Very few people will sense these. That kind of ancient magic is extremely powerful and can wipe out living things in an instant. It is similar to how we use ourselves now. The ancient magic cast by energy is not something of the same magnitude."
"Okay, brat, don't interrupt me when I'm talking, otherwise I wouldn't mind teaching you for Dumbledore what it means to respect teachers."
Louis stopped asking. It seemed that such traces would only exist after the use of extremely powerful ancient magic. Those people sensed that they could reproduce the power or form within it through traces in the future. The guardian probably did this through How to escape from the hunt of goblins.
"When they came back, they happened to catch up with the last sorting ceremony. As expected, that guy went to Slytherin House."
Speaking of this, Phineas's tone gradually became a little proud, making the portraits of the principals on the side couldn't help but curl their lips.
The next thing was how the transfer student would integrate into the life of Hogwarts. Since he was a fifth-year transfer student, Professor Weasley, the vice-principal at the time, was afraid that he would not be able to keep up with the progress, so he specially arranged for each professor to give Certain after-school private tutoring opportunities.
Of course, while conducting school courses, they (Professor Figo and the transfer student) also did not forget to investigate the contents of a book obtained from Gringotts. After experiencing the troll attack in Hogsmeade Village, , the Black family’s ring investigation incident (Phineas later found out about this by questioning the house elves) and a series of other events, he finally found the remaining pages in the book and opened the map hidden under Hogwarts. Secret room.
