Vol 2 Chapter 664: Picture

"Helga... Does she have any wishes?" Allen suddenly turned the topic to the dead Helga Hufflepuff.
"The instructor has been talking about it, hoping that Hogwarts can truly maintain the title of the best magic school in the world. Speaking of which, she doesn't know why she suddenly went to Holy Rome once before she died." Bonnie then said in a puzzled manner. "We are the best school! Although I heard that there was a witch named Nelida Vokanova in the former Bulgarian region of the Eastern Roman Empire, it seems that a magical academy was also recently established near Scandinavia. , But it’s not at the same level as ours at Hogwarts."
Alan was silent for a while. He knew that Helga probably should have met Rowena once when he knew that his time was coming, and her wish should refer to what Allen had described to her and Gryffindor. Hogwarts' downhill path under the leadership of Dumbledore and his previous principals can be improved.
His gaze fell on the wall behind Bonnie. Obviously now Hogwarts has no custom to hang the portrait of the principal on the wall, and none of the four founders are on it.
"Has Helga left no portraits?" Allen asked regretfully.
"Ah! Don't you say that I almost forgot. There is indeed one. The tutor said it was reserved for you, so I kept it very carefully." Bonnie didn't use magic, but got up and walked to a large cabinet. I clicked the magic lock on it with a magic wand. The complicated chains rattled and dinged, and the cabinet opened automatically. Bonnie carefully held out a portrait with a brown wooden frame. "But the instructor will only occasionally come out to the garden. We only come out when we pick vegetables in the yard. We call her outside and she can’t hear her.
Helga’s arrangement is not beyond Allen’s expectations-it is said that Hufflepuff’s common room and dormitory have never been seen by outsiders after more than a thousand years, just like their college badge badger. , Hufflepuff knows exactly how to hide-how to protect himself.
In the portrait, a semi-basement-like tavern transformed from a huge oak root and a mud hole is half underground and half on the ground. The entire tavern surrounds the large oak tree in a circle, and the roof is covered with thick green lawns. , And the magic garden grows on the thick soil on the roof of the tavern.
"Hulgar's late night tavern." Allen's face was full of memories.
"Although I was often reprimanded by my instructor for being clumsy, but that time was really easy and beautiful." Bonnie recalled her immature and clumsy appearance, and said with emotion, "Would you like to try my current craft? I promise not to burn. Something is scorched."
"Then I'm not welcome. If you have time later, make me some pudding. Some people like to eat it. By the way, how about Tracy who made the food?" Allen thought. I was about to take Luna back, so I asked Bonnie bluntly for some pudding made with the materials of this era-even if the method is exactly the same, obviously because the materials will be somewhat different, Alan has no confidence in his era. Make exactly the same taste.
"Last time because of my immaturity, I didn't dare to talk to you more. In fact, Tracy left her mentor before Hogwarts was established. I heard that she seemed to have gone to France-but she didn't stay much. I didn't have to come to learn it in a hurry." Although Bonnie's colleague was not friendly to her at the time, now when she hears the name, she will only have some nostalgia and no negative emotions.
"From the perspective of her always serving things before they are cooked, Tracy's temper is too anxious, but you are just the opposite. You are always worried that not cooking things will make you eat your stomach, so even if it should be half a lifetime Something half-cooked will become fully cooked in your hands-Bonnie, so Helga will look at you more, you have the potential of Hufflepuff in your bones." The teacup turned in Alan's hand. In the circle, he looked at Bonnie, who was a little shy because of the praise, "Do you remember the Muggle troubadour who used to dine in the tavern often and then sang for the meal?"
"Of course I remember, he has brought us a lot of relaxing time. He sings well." Bonnie smiled easily and hummed a few tunes of songs that poets often sang.
"I saw his offspring on the Muggle battlefield this time. They had very good character. They were only forced to do some disgraceful things and lost their lives in order to redeem their sins." Allen took out the Eau Tyler Buddha. The gem of the soul, "I'm not thinking about how to place his soul. Why don't you let him be a frequent visitor in the portrait?"
Bonnie still feels a little uncomfortable with Ellen playing with Muggle souls so lightly, but through the mentor, she knows the partial information of the wizard in front of him, and she knows that the other party is not a completely fallen into darkness. The face of the dark wizard, just like many Ravenclaws, is somewhat unscrupulous in research and life, plus the familiar red-haired man who looks at the jewels flashing in the eyebrows, although it is not clear how Alan will make a soulful Portrait, but in the end she didn't say much but nodded in agreement.
Next, Bonnie took Merlin to the kitchen and asked the house elf to send Alan some painting tools.
And Ellen, who was left behind by the vice-principal's company, put the portrait of the Late Night Tavern in front of him again, and picked up the gem of the soul of Ai Utelfo, and began to recall the portrait and the knowledge of soul magic.
Hogwarts' portraits can speak and move between frames, behaving in the same way as the person being painted. However, their ability to communicate with people has nothing to do with the artist's technique, but is based on the strength of the real person in the painting. The person in the portrait can use the model’s favorite words and imitate their every move~EbookFREE.me~ Therefore, the portrait of Sir Cadogan is always declaring war on people, falling from the horse and the movement is very lack of balance. This is the impression left by the protagonist on the poor painter who painted his portrait; and the portrait of the fat lady has loved delicious food, fine wine and strict security for many years after the protagonist's death. However, none of these portraits can engage in a deeper dialogue about their lives: they are really only two-dimensional, just a representation of the protagonist in the eyes of the artist.
Some portraits can communicate quite a lot with the world of life. In the tradition of Hogwarts that has not yet formed, future principals will ask someone to paint a portrait of themselves before they pass away. After the portrait is completed, the principal character of the portrait will lock it up, and if they wish, they will open the cabinet to visit it regularly. They will teach the person in the portrait to imitate their own behavior and teach them various useful memories or knowledge. This information can then be used by the successor principal in the following centuries.
In the era where Allen belonged, the in-depth knowledge and insights of certain portraits of former principals were only known to the serving principals and a few students. When someone visits, the person in the portrait is basically pretending to be napping.
But the most important thing is that even if they can communicate and have the ability to think, these portraits are soulless, and what Allen needs to do now is to bind the soul of Ai Uttel Buddha to his portrait. This It’s not a big problem for Ellen, who has read the Nether scrolls and knowledge about the soul-on the contrary, it is quite difficult for Ellen, who has not formally studied painting, to paint Ai Utelfo. Fortunately, some Alan, who has the ability to control his muscles and remember his memory, finally started to write after several practice sessions.
