Chapter 192 The Trajectory of the Future
"Aren't you going to take a look, Headmaster?" Alice looked helplessly at Harry and the three of them leaving, then turned to Dumbledore and asked, "Even if you think he should be tempered and take the initiative to face Voldemort as a savior, at least you should guarantee Harry's safe."
Dumbledore smiled slightly: "Harry is already a sixth grader, he has faced Voldemort alone many times, you can't always treat him as a child."
"But Harry is indeed underage," Alice said, "Not only Harry, but Ron and Hermione are also underage. As professors, shouldn't we ensure the safety of little wizards?"
Dumbledore sighed: "I have already told Fox that if something happens to Harry and the others, Fox will appear with the sword of Gryffindor."
The tears of the phoenix can heal wounds, and with the protection of the sword of Gryffindor, it is unlikely that they will have problems.Thinking of this, Alice finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Dumbledore observed Alice's expression, his eyes flickered: "Alice, your temper is a bit too good. In fact, as a professor, sometimes it's not a bad idea to learn from Severus."
Alice expressed her incomprehension. Didn't the headmaster help Harry and the others to speak just now? Now why is she saying that she has a bad temper?Besides, Alice didn't think she had a good temper. What she faced were all immature little wizards, so there was no need to worry about many things.
"I mean, are you overprotective of little wizards because of your own childhood, especially Harry, who lost his parents like you?" asked Dumbledore.
Alice was stunned, and she replied somewhat unnaturally: "Harry is indeed very pitiful, and I don't deny that I may pay more attention to little wizards because of my childhood experience, but this does not mean that the underage Your little wizard is right to face danger alone."
Dumbledore: "I remember when you first took Defense Against the Dark Arts class, you taught little wizards to make magic armor. And now, I heard from Minerva that you are mainly teaching students how to avoid falling into Dangerous. Don't you think you are a little too concerned about the safety of little wizards? Although they are minors, they will enter the society alone after graduation from the seventh grade, work, get married, and have children."
Alice was a little confused. She always believed that her teaching was very successful. At least after the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, the little wizards would no longer go on adventures without knowing the depth.But according to the principal, everything she did was wrong?
Dumbledore: "Recklessness and adventure are also part of youth. You can't ask all students to be well-behaved babies who meet the requirements. Appropriate safety guidance is okay, but if you emphasize it many times, then little wizards will lose the ability of trial and error." Chance, without a unique personality."
Alice pursed her lips and said nothing.She thought of when Sirius and Lupine were professors, they always encouraged students to get in touch with different magical creatures and learn about different spells, some of which were also dangerous, but they never put students at risk.
"You are a witch who has the spirit of exploration and is not afraid of danger. Why do you want students to avoid danger? Of course some dangers must be avoided, but courage to face danger is also necessary." Dumbledore said.
"I..." Alice still wanted to explain, but she gave up under Dumbledore's penetrating eyes. "It's my problem. Maybe what I think is right is not what the little wizards want."
For most Gryffindors, exciting adventures are obviously more attractive than life safety.For some Ravenclaws, even knowing the risks, they experimented for answers.The same is true for Harry, Ron and Hermione. They knew what it meant to face the Horcruxes, but they still chose to sneak into the Slytherin bedroom.
"I'm glad you figured this out. Young wizards are bound to make mistakes, but it's these mistakes that help us grow, right?" Dumbledore blinked, "I'll tell you a secret. I started paying attention to you when I was not in school."
"What?" Alice didn't know why.Her parents and grandparents were ordinary Muggles, and she didn't even know that she could magic before she received the admission letter. How could the headmaster pay attention to her before she entered school?
"Let's talk as we go." Dumbledore said mysteriously.
Alice nodded, and followed Dumbledore down the stairs, through the long corridors, and even out of the castle.
"Principal?" Looking at the Forbidden Forest shrouded in mist, she finally couldn't help but speak out.
"This is a small change." Dumbledore didn't stop, and took Alice directly into the Forbidden Forest, "A friend of mine told me that even the faintest star can affect the brightest star. Every star and every wizard is unique, with one more star and one more wizard, the trajectory of the future can be changed."
Alice saw a black figure in the mist: "You mean I am the extra wizard?"
"Every year, there will be little Muggle-born wizards. Most of them showed magical abilities when they were young, and some of them didn't know their status as wizards until they received the admission letter," Dumbledore explained. "I prefer The magic has been hiding in their bodies, it may erupt or it may sleep for a lifetime, and this dividing point is 11 years old. Because of a certain opportunity, fortunately, your magic erupted at the age of 12."
Alice stopped where she was, and asked in disbelief: "So there is no such thing as saying that the admission was stopped because of the war?"
"Yes, but you are not. I'm sorry I haven't told you the truth for so many years. I just think that it may not be a good thing for a child to be too different." Dumbledore said with a smile, facing the front A figure waved his hand.
The figure in the mist gradually appeared, and Alice's eyes widened because she saw a centaur.
"Hi, I'm Firenze." The centaur with platinum-blond hair nodded to Alice. He had a pair of light blue eyes that were a little lighter than Alice's.
"Hi, I'm Alice." Alice said with some embarrassment.
The scene fell silent for a while, Alice turned her head to look at Dumbledore, and said very seriously: "For me at that time, being too different was really not a good thing."
Looking back now, although she was not bullied for skipping grades and being too fond of studying, she only had two best friends, Peggy and Carrie, in her six-year campus life.Just like Harry, if given the choice, he probably doesn't want to be the savior.
"The weather tonight is not very good, and the trajectory of the stars is not very clear," Firenze said suddenly, with an ethereal voice, "but this means more possibilities. Just like I said at the beginning, one more star, One more wizard makes all the difference."
"Thank you, Firenze." Dumbledore said with a smile.
Firenze took a last look at Alice, and disappeared into the mist just like when he came.
"When you applied to me to skip a level, I thought, what changes will a young wizard who chooses to skip a level bring to the future?" Dumbledore said with emotion, "I have been following you for so many years, although I don't know Based on the original trajectory, the future has changed, but I am gratified that Hogwarts has one more excellent graduate, and the wizarding world has one more excellent witch."
--------------------
The author has something to say:
Even after all these years, I still wonder, why does it have to be 11?Isn't it okay to be in your twenties (at least it doesn't seem to work for me, so I'll write a novel)
I love the wizarding world more than any character. There is no doubt that the protagonist of HP is Harry Potter, so this is based on HP's Alice story, she will not be too involved in Harry's life, she has her own life.
I wrote about the life of an ordinary but not so ordinary little wizard, ordinary because she has no special identity, and extraordinary because she is special to everyone.She is a character outside the story but is the protagonist of her own life. She is not a savior but she has indirectly changed something (the expression is not very clear, just take a look)
