Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 180: 8 hexagrams

As soon as Albert left the principal's office, the portraits, who were pretending to be asleep, became active, discussing what had just happened.

"The boy looks very...smart." The bald wizard in the portrait on the upper right of the desk suddenly spoke up, "It doesn't speak and act like a twelve-year-old boy, and adult wizards often encounter this kind of thing. He's not as calm."

"Mr. Anderson is smart and... special." Dumbledore's spectacles shone strangely, whispering, "Of course, confident."

Yes, Albert is confident.

"I also think he expected this to happen." The curly-haired witch next to the portrait of the bald old wizard said, "He clearly knows the value of the gold membership card and knows that Hetok will not take it lightly. Give it up."

"Obviously," said Dumbledore

Albert naturally knew the value of the gold membership card, and knew that Hetok would not give up. That thing was too important to the pharmacist.

An old wizard with a goatee and green and silver pajamas said without hesitation, "I don't like him very much."

"I'm amazed, Phineas, what makes you dislike that boy?" asked a shrewd-looking witch holding up a thick wand made of birch stalks, "Ma The identity of the melon wizard, or his last words?"

"What did I just say?" Phineas covered a yawn, pretending that he had just woken up, forgetting what he just said.

It's not good for him to continue this topic.

"The boy's magical talent is very strong and brilliant, but he doesn't look like a Muggle wizard," said a frail old wizard.

"He's a Muggle wizard, Armando," Dumbledore said calmly, "but, if you go back a few generations, it should be a sideline of Smith."

"Is that the famous Smith family?" The former principal was a little surprised, he knew something about the mysterious Smith family.

"Well, I think so." Dumbledore said, "Last semester, I specifically checked his profile, Anderson's grandfather was a Squib and his father was a Muggle, but Anderson himself is indeed a rare magical genius. "

"It's rare to hear you describe a person as a genius," said the curly-haired old witch.

"Dumbledore wants to say, that boy will be the next him?" Phineas said with a hint of sarcasm, "a griffin full of wisdom and courage?"

"Mr. Anderson is better than me." Dumbledore did not hesitate to praise his words.

"This must be the funniest joke I've heard this century." Phineas covered his stomach and laughed exaggeratedly.

It's just that he was the only one laughing in the principal's room, which made the former principal feel very boring, and the laughter gradually subsided.

"Mr. Anderson has surpassed too many people in the study of ancient runes." Dumbledore recalled the evaluation of Albert when he chatted with Broad:

Albert is a genius.

Especially in the study of ancient rune, it has a near-natural instinct, and it is completely effortless to master knowledge that many people may not be able to master in a lifetime.

Later, Albert looked for books in the library and helped McDougall revise his new book, something Dumbledore naturally knew.

To be honest, he didn't fully understand the McDougall book himself.

Since Albert went deep into the Forbidden Forest and rescued Fred and George a few months ago, Dumbledore has rated Albert higher and admired Broad's eyesight.

Without extraordinary courage, wisdom and strength, it is very likely that after going deep into the Forbidden Forest, they will not be able to return.

The periphery of the Forbidden Forest is not dangerous, but the depths are dangerous!

“It’s not surprising that some geniuses can always emerge from the Smith family.” Phineas curled his lips.

Although Blake is reluctant to admit it, the Smith family is indeed older than Blake, and it is a very mysterious family.

As for why the Smith family is mysterious?

Even the Smiths don't know the mystery of the Smiths.

Few of these things are known to the outside world.

Only those wizards who live long enough and are wise enough may find some clues in the long years.

It is rumored that someone in the Smith family will inherit the so-called secret.

As for who is this person?

No one ever knew.

Anyway, that's what was said.

However, it is through this eccentric inheritance method that the Smith family's secrets are preserved.

It's just that no one ever knew what secrets the Smith Family was hiding.

If you ask Smith's immediate successor?

He can only say helplessly, I don't know either!

"That family did have a lot of good wizards." Dumbledore nodded in agreement with Phineas' point of view, Rowena is Smith's direct line, "I remember... Brod and Rowena's It's a good relationship."

Hetock would say that Brod's circle is wide, and he's not wrong.

The well-known wizards in the wizarding world in the UK and even Europe know them and maintain friendly relations.

Just ~IndoMTL.com~ This is a looser group, most people are usually neutral, the rule to enter this circle is to show amazing talent in some aspects, to be seen by them, and to keep in touch through correspondence .

As for, why would Dumbledore know?

That's of course because he's also part of the circle.

Before graduating from Hogwarts, Dumbledore met a number of very famous wizards, got help from them, and maintained friendly correspondence.

It wasn't until Dumbledore entered Wizengamore that he dimly saw the terrifying influence of this loose and sprawling circle.

If, they wanted, these people combined could directly decide a Wizengamore Supreme Court verdict, or get a badly done Minister of Magic out of office.

Although, they never did, and probably because they didn't, no one found out about it.

But, Dumbledore found out.

Because he has a good relationship with most of the Wizengamot members.

The subject of the portraits of the principals was brought back again.

"The boy doesn't seem to like the Ministry very much."

"This is indeed a Ministry of Magic's problem, Evra, and I'd be **** off if I were to."

"I thought you were the best tempered of us, Darice."

"A good temper does not mean weakness." Dai Lisi said, "I support his approach very much. I guess the director himself has problems."

"But he seems to be ready to let the head of the Office for the Prohibition of Misuse of Magic step down." That's what Evra didn't like.

"No, he just asked Hertok to tell the truth." Dumbledore smiled. "She'll agree to apologize, as Anderson said, it's the cheapest solution."
