New Dawn – A Harry Potter Transmigration Fanfic - Chapter 144
The next day.
Dumbledore smiled as he saw the 1st years eating their breakfast from his chair in the middle of the table.
It always warmed his heart to see new witches and wizards enter the magical world.
Especially the muggleborns who are always so fascinated by all the magical things around them.
“Albus. Did you had that talk with Mr Potter?” Minerva suddenly asked from his left and he was reminded of the plans he and the other staff members had created for young Harry.
“No Mivera. I was planning and having a talk with him today.” He replied with a genuine smile toward his friend.
“Shouldn’t we have informed Mr Potter about his new living area yesterday?” she asked.
“We should have but the boy seemed very tired from all the attention everyone was giving him so I decided to let him rest for the time being.”
“I see. I think it would have been prudent to inform him as soon as possible but if he did seemed tired at that time. Regardless Albus, you should tell him about it as soon as possible.” She said and he gave her a nod, his hand reaching for the flagon filled with pumpkin juice kept outside his reach when he felt the Phone vibrate inside his pocket.
He felt a foreboding in his heart as the students stopped eating and took out their Phones in order to watch the memory instead.
The last time this happened, one of the Aurors was shown threatening Harry Potter in the middle of Diagon Alley.
He didn’t want to think what this memory would be about but someone of his position could not remain ignorant of things going around in his school.
So he took out the Phone from his pocket and played the memory that everyone else was watching.
“Hello. This is a memory for parents who sent their children to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.”
“Hogwarts is a magical school and non magical people are generally not allowed to enter the school. So most non magical parents never learn anything about the school except from their own children when they come back home during winter or summer holidays.”
“It takes a huge amount of trust for any parent to send their child to the school without knowing anything about the school.”
“So this memory shows a small segment of their first day in Hogwarts.”
With that, the scene changed and this time, instead of Harry Potter’s face, they saw the inside of the Hogwarts express in which children were excitedly chatting with each other and a few were even performing some low level magical spells with their wands.
“It takes 6-8 hours for the Hogwarts express to reach Hogwarts.” Harry’s calm and gentle voice could be heard as the memory continued to play.
Dumbledore wondered how Harry was able to create a memory like this.
He had never studied the charms and runes used in a pensieve in a lot of detail even if he used that device a lot of times.
But even he had no idea how Harry could simply merge the different memories like that. And to merge his voice in the background on top of that was just like icing in a cake.
He had a feeling that if he tried to do something like this, then it would probably take him a few weeks or maybe a few months of time but he doubted that the boy had so much time on his hands because of the new company he just opened.
The boy was truly a terrifying genius and he shuddered to think what would happen to the magical world if the boy ever went dark like Voldemort.
The memory continued to play as the scene changed from Hogwarts Express to the four children boats where the kids saw Hogwarts’ grand illuminated form from the lake.
It was a truly beautiful sight and to see it once again like this brought back memories from his own childhood.
The memory then changed once again and this time, it was the memory of the sorting.
In the memory, those long waits were not shown and it only showed the parts were hat the put on the child’s head after which the hat called out the name of the house and the child joyfully joined his house as the housemates clapped for the new addition to their house.
The memory then moved on to show the feast and ended with all the students going with their respective house prefects.
The memory ended once all the students left the great hall and he looked up to see that all the students were now looking in the direction of Ravenclaw table, trying to find the elusive Harry Potter who had created such a beautiful memory and shared it with their parents who would not worry about their children as much now that they knew more about Hogwarts.
But unfortunately, Harry Potter was not present in the Ravenclaw table.
He was not very surprised with this. Harry must have realized that once the memory ended, all the students would try to thank him so he must have skipped the breakfast altogether.
Dumbledore looked at this own breakfast and sighed.
The food had already gone cold but thankfully, he had already eaten his fill so he won’t go hungry through out the day.
With that, he rose up from the table and sent the kids to their classrooms.
He, on the other hand, went in search for young Harry.
Even though this memory was very good, he didn’t want young Harry to show other parts of Hogwarts castle without his express permission.
Plus, he had to tell the boy about his new lodgings so this would be like hitting two targets with a single arrow for him.
