Everything seemed to be going well, but Louis also had his own doubts.
If things develop according to normal logic, then this incident actually has nothing to do with Phineas Black. It just happened during his tenure. So why should it be said that it is a stain on his career and something he is unwilling to mention? memory.
"Go on, Phineas." Devonte looked at him with interest, "Tell me how you got in touch with them."
Phineas rolled his eyes at her. He did not dare to be angry with Devonte, who was highly respected.
"There are by no means the only two forces that are pursuing this heritage power." Phineas continued, "There is also a small group of wizards who are just around the corner. Poachers were rampant in that era, and the poacher team headed by Luke Wood decided to Working with goblins, that’s Rookwood.”
Lewis also heard Professor Rackham say that the surname Rookwood was considered a prominent figure in the magical world at that time. Even among the other three guardians with Rackham, Rookwood existed, and this The poacher Rookwood is, as expected, the descendant of that guardian.
"Of course, this is something we didn't expect. The transfer student proved that he is an outstanding Guardian candidate through his own strength. The four Guardians set four levels for him just to test his character. Sex, but luckily he passed the test.”
Of course, Phineas only knew these details after the fact. Among those who witnessed it at the time, apart from Professor Figo and the transfer student who later died at Hogwarts, the one who knew the most was the vice-principal at the time, Wei. Professor Sly.
"The last piece of protection needed to unlock the true legacy power is the magical energy extracted from those four tests. He passed this energy through Mr. Ollivander, who is today Ollivander's father, and made it into a stick. Wand, but when he went out, he was eventually discovered by Rookwood."
They had a fierce battle in Rookwood's fortress. The fifth-grade students absorbed power through sensing traces of ancient magic and successfully eliminated most of the poachers. Rookwood also discovered goblins in the previous mine incident. One clan had ulterior motives, and in the end the two forces parted ways.
But Landrock got the key props at this time, and he took the lead to seize the opportunity and invaded the Hogwarts underground. Professor Figo asked Principal Black for support, but he was not aware of the seriousness of the situation at all. Naturally, he did not take Professor Figo's words to heart. He had no choice but to confess everything to Professor Weasley. The vice-principal made a prompt decision. After bypassing the principal's authority, she led the school's teaching team Taking the lead, he opened a safe path for Professor Figo and the student.
The next thing becomes a bit cliche. Landrock has come into contact with the legacy power, which transformed it into an energy dragon. Professor Figo sacrificed himself in the battle with the dragon for the sake of the dragon. Guardian candidates bought valuable time.
The power represented by the Landrock dragon was extremely huge, and with the support of his firm belief, he finally succeeded in destroying the dragon. In the end, he also suppressed the restless power of legacy through the wand and sealed it in Huo. Underground in Gwarts.
The goblins invaded, the professor died tragically, and the poacher gang committed crimes. Each of these incidents stung the mood of the then principal. Although Phineas Black was hated by others and even canceled the Quidditch match that year without reason, but He was also a man of heart, and it was almost a stain on his career.
"If I had discovered this problem earlier, maybe things wouldn't be like this."
Phineas Black said with some regret, but the matter has come to this, even Phineas himself has passed away, and what happened back then cannot be undone.
And through Principal Derwent, I learned that Professor Figo was a good friend of Principal Black back then. Phineas Black was not good at dealing with the Ministry of Magic at the time, so many schools came forward to communicate with the Ministry of Magic because of Professor Figo. Worry, during that school year, Professor Figo was concerned with guilt and protection for his deceased wife on the one hand, and school matters on the other, because Principal Black repeatedly interrupted. Every time Professor Figo wanted to get close to a secret, he would be interrupted by Black. The principal arranged various errands to deal with the Ministry of Magic, which also slowed down the investigation speed of the two of them again.
Of course, Phineas felt repentant about this. He believed that he was also responsible for the death of his friend Figo, so that this memory became a stain on his life.
"Principal Black, that wand you mentioned, is it still there?"
Luis is not interested in his confession and his sexual relationship with Professor Figo, as he discovers the point of the story.
The wand made by Ollivander is the key to unlocking the power of the legacy.
"After hearing about it, the thing was returned to Ollivander for safekeeping." Phineas thought for a moment and said, "You should ask Ollivander."
"Thank you, Principal Black." Lewis bowed to him, "Oh, by the way, there is one more thing about Arctus Black."
But Phineas had stopped talking. He closed his eyes and seemed to have really fallen asleep.
"Forget it, kid, some things can't be forced." Dippet explained, "It's not easy for you to make Phineas say so many words in one breath today. He might still care about you being of the Black race. I am telling you this much for my own sake, otherwise, according to his character, he would not be so kind to tell you this matter."
"As for you wanting to know about Arctus Black, I suggest you go to your Black family's secret vault to find out."
Dippet's suggestion made Louis think of another way of thinking. Yes, if you want to understand a person, it is more effective to find the real thing.
The legacy incident told by Phineas also allowed Louis to find key clues, but he was still confused about how to open the secret room on the map.
A hundred years ago, the fifth-grade transfer student found clues through a book and key left by Professor Figo's wife, but now there is no trace of those things, and there is no clue where to find them. arrive.
The legacy power in Dumbledore's hand is incomplete. If that incomplete power is used forcibly, it will cause backlash against wizards. He did not obtain power through the map of the secret room, so he asked Louis to help him crack the magic weapon. Gwartz's legacy.
It seems that if you want to gain access to the secret room on the map, you have to find another way.
