On July 31, 1991,
Albus Dumbledore of the Wood Orphanage stood at the door of the orphanage he had come to 54 years ago!
It was not his job to guide new students, but when Minerva McGonagall reported to him that there was a new student named "Grindelwald", and his birthplace came from the orphanage where the person who had given him a headache was born, his heart was really shaken.
Name: Buck Grindelwald
Location: Wood Orphanage
If dark wizards have roots, this surname plus the birthplace can be said to be "black roots!
When Minerva McGonagall said to Dumbledore with a serious and even sad face: "Albus, although the Book of Acceptance and the Pen of Admission are the unchanging traditions of Hogwarts for thousands of years, you know this surname."Fortunately,
Professor McGonagall didn't know that Tom was also from here, otherwise there would be a big quarrel!
And this year, the famous "savior" Harry Potter will also be enrolled. Although the prophecy predicts that one of him and the mysterious man will die, the extremely vague prophecy makes this 100-year-old man feel that even if Harry wins, the magic world will suffer a heavy blow.
So, Dumbledore accepted the enrollment of this little wizard for some reason, because the name of this child really made him have reverie!
However, when he stood here again, it was a little different from his impression 54 years ago. In his impression:
deserted and gloomy, surrounded by high railings, the furnishings in the courtyard were old-fashioned and depressing!
But the orphanage in front of him was completely different: complicated shapes, strong artistic buildings, its architectural style has a strong church atmosphere, giving people a solemn, mysterious and serious feeling.
Sitting at the door of the orphanage was a red-haired, very cute little girl who was writing something in a small notebook, and muttering something in her mouth, "I was fooled by Buck again today. If I believe him again, I will be a dog.
On the lawn of the orphanage, two rows of children in red and yellow vests seemed to be doing morning exercises, shouting:
Be self-reliant and self-reliant, and contribute every bit of your strength for a better tomorrow!"
Dumbledore was a little surprised. When did the children in the orphanage become so disciplined? Even this "self-reliance and self-improvement" made him a little confused. Didn't the orphanage receive government relief?
The red-haired girl sitting at the door noticed that there seemed to be an old man wandering at the door, so she trotted over and said timidly:
"Grandpa, you've been here for a long time. Is there anything Beyanna can help you with?
Dumbledore, whose thoughts were interrupted, was not angry, but said kindly to the little girl in front of him:
Oh, I'm sorry, people tend to forget when they get old. I have been here before, but this is really an amazing change from when I was young.
I forgot to introduce myself. I am the principal of a school called Hogwarts. I am here to talk to your dean about the admission of a child in your school. Can you show me the way, little girl?"...
Okay, Mr. Principal! The dean's office is here, I'll take you there.But your school is so short of staff, and you actually need an old man of your age to come out alone to pick up students? Aren't you afraid of falling on the road?"
Dumbledore: ?
The little red-haired girl seemed a little dazed, and did not answer the question about the orphanage that he actually wanted to know. Instead, she turned around and complained about the "teaching staff" of Hogwarts. Hearing the little girl's complaints, Dumbledore shook his head with a wry smile and followed the little girl's jumping steps. After entering the orphanage building, Dumbledore walked and looked. The decoration inside the orphanage was obviously different from the last time he came. The internal buildings and walls were obviously still a bit old, but it seemed to have been renovated a few years ago.
However, the overall style of the early British manor house is obviously retained. From the cane next to the entrance to the chandelier on the ceiling and the fireplace next to the restaurant, every element has a strong British style. The wooden design is matched with silk home decorations, which are delicate and powerful, and have the warmth of home!
Dumbledore thought: So it seems that the economic situation of this orphanage seems to be very good in recent years?Soon, the two stopped in front of an office door. "Knock, knock, knock," the girl went forward and knocked on the door. A tired female voice came from inside: "Who?"
The girl said cheerfully.Mother Alda, it's me, Bayanna! An old gentleman said he was the principal of some Hoci School, and he came to our school specifically to recruit students!"
Oh? That's great, please come in!"
Bayanna opened the door after getting permission, but she didn't go in. Instead, she waited until Dumbledore went in before closing the door and leaving. Dumbledore, who noticed this scene, couldn't help but sigh:
What a polite child.Noticing that the man was wearing a white robe and a white hat, and his beard was almost as long as his waist, but the patterns on his clothes and the golden patterns on his hat seemed to prove something. Although Alda Myers was a little puzzled by his strange clothes, he still asked politely.Hello, old man. I am Alda Myers, the director of this orphanage. I just heard from Bayanna that you are here to recruit students. May I ask you about your school? In addition, which child is lucky enough to be favored by your school?
Dumbledore nodded after listening. From his words, it can be seen that this director is a very responsible person!
Hogwarts is the best magic school in the UK. It mainly teaches students how to learn magic, how to use and control magic, and I
