Chapter 136: Dumbledore's memories

"At the time, I was at the lowest point of my life!" Albus Dumbledore said quietly: "Not long ago, because of a mistake, I lost almost all of my relatives; the only one surviving, the only My stubborn brother Aberfors, he turned against me because of this..."
"So, I chose to leave my hometown, Godric Valley..."
Dumbledore paused, as if thinking about something.
Jon took a closer look, and the little meaty version of Dumbledore of the author in front of him—Sure enough, his handsome face was haggard.
"Principal Phineas Black invited me to go to Hogwarts to be a teacher of Defense Against the Dark Arts..." Dumbledore continued, "I did not refuse his request, but only asked him to postpone the invitation for a few years. After all, I needed to adjust my mood at the time."
"Phineas generously agreed. He said that he would let Professor Doug-McAfee last a few more years...At the same time, he also introduced me to this errand and let me relax!" A smile of memories appeared on Lido's face.
Jon was just about to ask what the errand was, but saw the young Albus Dumbledore standing up in front of him.
...
Young Dumbledore looked at the far path.
There, an old man who was faltering walked slowly towards this side.
An old man who looks weird... his pale and dry hair fluttered in the wind; his body was very thin, almost as thin as wood, as if the wind would blow away gently.
With a cane in his hand, he stopped for a moment every few steps... until he came to Dumbledore.
"Are you the young man Black introduced?" The old man asked as he coughed, "Dumble?"
His voice seemed a bit sharp and hoarse.
"Yes, but my name is Albus Dumbledore!" The young old Deng bent down, bowed deeply, so as not to hide his respect and admiration, and asked: "You are Flamel Sir?"
Jon glanced at the real Dumbledore beside him with some guilty conscience, feeling that he was looking at the dark history of his youth...
Dumbledore shook his head gently, indicating that he didn't mind...
"Just call me LeMay!" A smile appeared on the old man's face: "Dumbledore... a familiar name. Are you related to Brian Dumbledore?"
"That's my great grandfather, Mr. Le May!"
"Sure enough... I had contact with him at the end of the eighteenth century, and his phoenix is ​​very impressive!" Nicole LeMay nodded in satisfaction, and then motioned to Dumbledore to keep up with him. .
"How is your apparition technique?" he asked casually.
"It should be okay..." Dumbledore responded modestly.
"Oh, I forgot... Black boasted to me in the letter that you are the best graduate of Hogwarts in the past 100 years!" The old man patted himself on his forehead: "Let's go, let's go up the mountain! "
Nick LeMay turned into a white cloud floc and flew towards the top of the mountain.
At the same time, the young Dumbledore took a deep breath, which also turned into a white cloud floc, followed...
...
The scene in front of him suddenly changed, and Jon seemed to be back in the black vortex again
Fortunately, a dry hand grabbed his arm.
It's the old bacon version of Dumbledore...
"I was apparating!" Dumbledore said quietly, "so the memory will appear a little blank."
"Then professor, what are you doing up the mountain for?" Jon asked curiously.
"You know right away... Nick took me to find a funny creature on the mountain!" Dumbledore smiled and shook his head, and pointed forward.
The black vortex gradually disappeared... the bright sunshine appeared again.
Jon found that young Dumbledore, like him, was looking around curiously; Nick LeMay bends over at the edge of a deep pit, carefully looking at something.
"It's here!" the old alchemist said in a deep voice, "their traces..."
"What are you looking for, Mr. LeMay?" Young Dumbledore also walked over, bent over, and asked curiously.
"Two months ago, I received a message that a Muggle sailing ship on the Black Sea was mysteriously killed!" Nick Lemey said in a deep voice, "This is already the tenth sailing ship that has been killed for no reason in the Black Sea in recent years. ...I suspect it was done by an unknown magical animal!"
"Why did we come to Krkonoše for the accident on the Black Sea?" young Dumbledore asked in a puzzled way.
"Onlookers" Jon also had the same confusion.
Nick LeMay shook his head slightly: "I took branchial sacculus and searched for two weeks in the Black Sea a few days ago, but I still found nothing. The magical creature in the sea that can overturn a sailboat must be huge in size. , I won’t be able to find any traces... Then I found the wreckage of one of the sailing boats accidentally, and I found obvious scratches on its mast and deck!"
"That means..." young Dumbledore said softly.
"It was done by a giant bird, a fire dragon, and other magical animals!" Nick LeMay frowned and said: "So big, if you live in the plains, you will easily be spotted by Muggles; therefore, Its habitat must be on the high mountains on the Black Sea... So, I have been searching around for a while!"
"In the Muggle towns around the Krkonoše Mountains, there has always been a legend in UU Reading www.uukanshu.com... There is a dragon on the mountain, every year the village is required to sacrifice a virgin; every year there will be a young hero in this village. Went to fight the dragon, but no one survived..." Nick Lemay paused: "Although the legends of Muggles are generally not credible, they are often based on a certain basis..."
His eyes turned to the young Dumbledore: "Principal Black said, do you have a deep research on fire dragons?"
"That's right..." Young Dumbledore nodded: "My. The research content originally planned for the exam was dragon blood... It's a pity that the research was terminated because of an accident!"
"Then there may be room for you to play today!" Nick LeMay encouraged: "If there is really a fire dragon that can overturn a sailing boat, then it can be quite shocking to discover that there are nine known fire dragons. , But no one has such a huge body."
"Then we follow these footprints and continue to look for?" Young Dumbledore asked tentatively.
"Of course!" Nicole LeMay nodded, "I'll go ahead!"
