I just became the Pirate King, and you're telling me I also time-traveled at the same time.

Chapter 34 The Non-Pure-Blood Wizards of Slytherin

Click~ Click~ Click~

The wand was pointing directly at the wooden table in front of the two of them, and the wooden table had actually begun to sprout and grow under the influence of the magic.

A withered tree comes back to life!

Having witnessed everything firsthand, Dumbledore's face showed a look of shock, and he murmured, "Unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable! This immense life energy is as if nature itself is casting a spell."

"Magic has always been presented as pure energy."

"Even though there are white wizards and black wizards among wizards, and special cases like black magic, magic is essentially just pure magic. But this kind of magic, innately possessing certain unique qualities, is something I've never encountered before in my life!"

Dumbledore looked as if he had discovered a treasure, his face beaming with a childlike, innocent, and delighted smile.

When Chu Yang's magic dissipated, a small tree had grown on the wooden table, almost reaching the ceiling, with ivy and colorful little flowers growing on the vines below.

The portraits on the wall could no longer contain themselves and began to chatter amongst themselves.

"Amazing! This is truly a stunning scene!"

"This is truly mind-blowing; that child produced such an amazing effect without casting any spells."

"Dumbledore, arrest him and study him! He might just usher in a great era!"

Chu Yang slowly raised his head and stared coldly at the portrait that was clamoring to arrest him.

Phineas Nigellus Black

The first headmaster to graduate from Slytherin, and also the most unpopular headmaster in Hogwarts history!

He was also the great-great-grandfather of Harry's godfather, Sirius Black.

In short... he is the most detestable one among all the portraits of school principals!

"Don't say that, Headmaster Phineas." Dumbledore straightened his beard and wiped his glasses. "He's about to enter Slytherin, so he's your junior, after all."

"What?!" Phineas suddenly flew into a rage!

Only a gaping, blood-red mouth remained in the picture frame, roaring, "I will never allow a Muggle-born child to enter the great Slytherin House!"

Phineas had just overheard Chu Yang and Dumbledore's conversation and knew that Chu Yang came from an orphanage.

As for Dumbledore's later statement that Chu Yang might be a descendant of a famous wizarding family in the East, Phineas didn't take it seriously.

Since he didn't use Legilimency on Chu Yang, he naturally couldn't agree with Dumbledore's opinion.

"You've been dead for over sixty years, why are you still clinging to that ridiculous theory of bloodline?" a female principal said sarcastically, her contempt for Phineas evident in her tone.

Chu Yang glanced at her name.

[Dalise de Winter]

Before becoming the renowned Headmistress of Hogwarts, she was the head healer at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Sicknesses.

Delis became the principal long before Phineas, so Phineas usually remained silent when she spoke.

After both portraits fell silent, Chu Yang finally spoke, asking, "Why was I assigned to Slytherin?"

Dumbledore paused for a moment, then said, "Slytherin is an excellent house, but they are too prejudiced in their views on certain things. As headmaster, I cannot forcefully interfere with the students' thoughts."

"The person who changes their minds should ideally be a student like them."

Chu Yang frowned and asked, "Why did you choose me?"

Dumbledore explained, "The person who can convince them must be a wizard from a Muggle family, otherwise it's meaningless. But such wizards are generally not very talented and cannot do this, while you possess extraordinary potential..."

Chu Yang was skeptical; he had a feeling that this seemingly kind old man was actually full of bad intentions.

Suddenly, he remembered Dumbledore's plan to transform Harry Potter into a savior.

Good grief, are they using me as an insurance policy?

Chu Yang thought about it more and more and it seemed very possible, but given the current situation, it would be difficult for him to refuse Dumbledore's arrangement, since the compensation they had agreed on before might also disappear.

"Alright, Slytherin it is then. But I must say this upfront: if those classmates are not friendly to me, I will fight back decisively when necessary, and you can't blame me then!"

They're just a bunch of ungraduated dark wizards in their training phase. I'll take down dark wizards!

Seeing Chu Yang's eager expression, Dumbledore smiled and teased, "If you feel your safety is threatened, of course you can retaliate on your own. No problem at all, I can assure you!"

"In that case, I'd be happy to join Slytherin House." Chu Yang bowed slightly, then reminded him, "Please remember our agreement!"

"I never break my word." Dumbledore winked mischievously at Chu Yang, looking like a playful old man.

Then he summoned a house-elf and said to him, "Please bring Professor Snape here."

The little elf quickly disappeared from the principal's office.

Upon hearing Snape's name, Chu Yang sighed silently in his heart.

If we're talking about the most tragic character in the Harry Potter world, it has to be him.

The girl he likes is seduced away by the boy who bullies him every day, and he has to risk his life to protect their son.

Severus Snape's deep affection for Lily Evans is truly awe-inspiring.

But it also makes people feel sorry for and foolish.

Honestly, Chu Yang felt that if he and Snape were in each other's shoes, he would definitely try to kill James Potter first, without considering anything else.

The humiliating upside-down kick incident in fifth grade dealt a devastating blow to Snape's life, causing him to part ways with the love of his life, Lily Evans.

Perhaps from Harry's perspective, James Potter was a great father; from the perspective of his friends like Sirius Black, James Potter was a trustworthy friend.

But from an objective bystander's perspective, they were a bunch of bastards, even more so than Draco Malfoy.

Therefore, how one views a person as good or bad depends entirely on their personal perspective.

About ten minutes later, Snape, who had sent the new student to Slytherin, arrived late. He first greeted Dumbledore respectfully, then looked at Chu Yang indifferently.

The sensational performance that took place in the Great Hall lingered in Snape's mind.

He remembered that Professor McGonagall had said that the Sorting Hat could not determine the child's future, but now Dumbledore had called him to the Headmaster's office. The reason for this was obvious.

Sure enough, Dumbledore spoke up the next second: "Professor Snape, from today onwards, Chu Yang is a student of Slytherin. Take him to his dormitory."

You let a little wizard from an orphanage enter Slytherin?

Snape could easily imagine how difficult the days ahead would be for Chu Yang!
