Some of Twain's thoughts were still too extreme, at least that was what Dumbledore thought.
Most importantly, Dumbledore was not in charge of Hogwarts yet.
Change could only be done step by step.
The discussion ended here.
Dumbledore once again mentioned the Tongue Lock and Throat Seal, which was the main purpose of his visit to Twain.
Twain shrugged his shoulders regretfully.
"The effect of that spell will last for three hours. Before that, there is only one way to remove the spell.”
"Just cut off your tongue."
For Dumbledore, this was only an expected answer.
The only gain was probably a further understanding of Twain's magic talent.
Getting rid of Sirius Black easily was nothing.
With Tang En's current level of magic, it was enough to beat up the Hogwarts seniors.
Even the weaker professors were not necessarily Twain's match.
What Dumbledore didn't know was that all of this had a lot to do with the whitewashed sacred deed.
Ella's luck attribute and Angelica's shapeshifting talent were imperceptibly transmitted to Twain through the sacred deed.
At first, Twain did not notice it himself.
When he tried these two spells, he realized that the whole process was so smooth.
Not only that, but Twain also had the same feeling when he tried some difficult Transfiguration.
It was not difficult to deduce the truth when the two incidents were linked together.
Dumbledore had to go and placate the Black family, and he left quickly.
After that, no one came to disturb him.
It was not until the sky outside the window was completely dark that the speed of the train slowed down.
Twain glanced at the mountains and woods that flew past the window and informed Ella and Angelica that they could change their clothes.
Ella took off her coat and put on her robe.
That was what she saw Twain do.
Angelica had wanted to wear a skirt under her robe, but after Sirius Black's incident, she chose jeans instead.
At this moment, the train broadcast sounded.
"The train will be arriving at Hogwarts in five minutes, so please leave your luggage on the train and we'll take it to your dormitory.”
The train stopped at the station.
The three of them got off the bus with the crowd and came to a small and dark station.
The only lamp was in the hands of a tall, one-eyed old man.
He was a Hogwarts gamekeeper.
"First-year students, come here!”
The freshmen of the upper years had all experienced this scene before, so they did not find it strange.
The crowd automatically split up, and the few freshmen moved closer to the one-eyed old man.
Twain saw Hagrid again.
The little giant was even taller than the one-eyed old man. He stood there in a restrained manner. His black beetle-like eyes sparkled under his thick hair. His coat pocket was bulging, and he did not know what was inside.
Not far from Hagrid, the fat Moody stood on tiptoe and raised his right hand.
"Hey, Twain, over here!"
Twain walked over with Ella and Angelica.
Moody immediately apologized to Twain.
"I really didn't know Uncle Scamander was back at Hogwarts as a teacher. I didn't even know he was a wizard.”
"Are your two families very close?"
"To be precise, he's very familiar with my family. He hasn't married yet. My father said that his fiancée died in a battle. Oh, he also participated in the European war more than 20 years ago. He was a war hero. I even saw his medal. God, I never thought he was a wizard.”
While Moody was explaining, the one-eyed old man had finished counting the number of new students.
There were exactly 30 people.
"Alright, everyone is here. Follow this path down until you reach the lake.”
Twain was a little puzzled.
Shouldn't there be 32 new students this year?
Even without Sirius Black, there was still one man.
The freshmen team began to set off.
Everyone walked down a narrow and steep path. At the end, a huge lake appeared in front of them.
On the other side of the lake stood a towering castle on a high hill. The castle had many spires, and the windows were lit under the starry sky.
The one-eyed old man pointed at a row of boats parked on the shore.
"Find a boat and sit on it. There are no more than four people in each boat.”
Tang En, the three of them, and Moody sat in the same boat. Next to them, the little giant Hagrid sat in the same boat.
After confirming that all the freshmen had boarded the boat, the one-eyed old man drew out his wand and pointed it at the boats one by one.
With every tap, the tip of the wand would light up with a white light, and then a small boat would automatically sail into the lake.
The boat that Twain and the other three were in was the second to set off. Moody gripped the edge of the wall tightly, looking a little nervous.
Twain curiously asked him what was wrong, and Moody stammered for a long time before saying that he was a little worried about what was in the lake.
Tang En immediately realized that Moody was talking about the mermaids who lived in the lake.
Although Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them classified merfolk and centaurs as animals, this classification was actually at the request of the merfolk and centaurs themselves.
These two races rejected the classification of " human " and demanded to maintain the status of " animal."
However, the merfolk here were limited to living in the inland lakes. The merfolk in the ocean were an extremely large race that lived in the deep sea and rarely came into contact with the outside world.
Ella had told Moody all this, having already memorized Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
Twain told Moody that the mermaids living at the bottom of Hogwarts Lake had signed an agreement with the four founders of Hogwarts that they would not actively harm the wizards.
Moody realized that he had been tricked by Thesius.
The other party told him that there was a water monster in the lake. If he looked around when he was on the boat, he would be dragged off the boat by the water monster.
Thesius 'original intention was to make Moody behave, but he certainly did not expect Moody to ignore his warning and get involved with Twain again.
Moody's spirits were lifted.
"Twain, do you know? The story of Sirius Black being lectured had spread all over the train, and many people were speculating that it had been done by the older students.”
"At Hogwarts, the juniors and seniors never get along.”
"When I've learned the spells you used on Sirius, I'll be sure to use them on the seniors first.”
"However, you are already famous. Everyone has selected the four most representative students from all the lower grade students, including the freshmen.”
