Days to grind friendship at Hogwarts

Dumbledore's eyes were calm, as calm as the surface of a lake when there is no wind.

He remained silent, just looking at the hesitant young man quietly.

"Professor..." Glenn said with difficulty. Now he finally understood why Dumbledore gave away such a precious notebook without hesitation.

Riding a tiger with difficulty getting off was the most relevant feeling for him at the moment.

"There is no need to make a decision in a hurry, my dear," Dumbledore said, his tone soft and sincere, "This task is dangerous and does require careful consideration."

Glenn took a deep breath, raised his head slightly, and looked directly into his eyes.

"If I refuse, you should take them back, right?"

He took Fox's feathers out of his pocket and placed them gently on his notebook.

Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed without warning.

"This is not a deal, Glenn." His eyes remained unchanged and he said in a relaxed tone, "They already belong to you, whether you accept this task or not."

Glenn didn't speak, but an idea suddenly came to his mind.

With Dumbledore's wisdom, could it really be impossible to find Ravenclaw's private library?

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt enlightened.

This is not a transaction or a request.

The so-called mission is probably not about finding the book or stopping Patricia at all.

The real test was obviously Dumbledore's test of his character.

Dare to face evil, protect justice, and save innocent people.

Isn't this the moral standard of Gryffindor that the Headmaster has always upheld?

No wonder he gave away his experience notes so easily. It turned out that he chose a different training route from that of Savior Star.

After figuring out the key, Glenn breathed a sigh of relief and regained his relaxed expression.

He quietly stretched out his hand, carefully put the feather back into his pocket, and then placed his hand on the notebook without leaving a trace.

It's like expressing it with actual actions.

It's all mine...

"As a junior who has been specially trained, you shouldn't let me be in danger."

Dumbledore was slightly surprised for a moment, and then showed a kind smile.

"certainly."

Although his voice was soft, it was firm.

"If that's the case, then I'll accept the mission!" Glenn chuckled and held the note in his arms.

He did not take the opportunity to raise the price again. The harvest now was worth every penny. If he appeared greedy again, it would be self-defeating.

Dumbledore's eyes showed some appreciation again.

In the eyes of the White Demon King, this child has a clean family background, extraordinary talent, modesty and studiousness, and is brave and upright. He is considered a good child worth cultivating.

But for some reason, he always felt that something was wrong with the way this boy looked at him.

If he was familiar with the Muggle world, he would be able to tell that, it was clearly like looking at a cash machine.

Glenn looked at Principal Li (crossed out) sitting behind his desk and asked again.

"Do I need to tell Morgana about our conversation today, professor?"

Dumbledore thought for a moment and said without comment: "On this point, it's up to you to decide."

Glenn nodded and stood up to leave.

Before leaving, he did not forget to say goodbye to the portraits of the old principals on the wall.

After the wooden door closed and Glenn walked away, Phineas Black, who had been unable to hold himself back for a long time, immediately spoke.

"Albus! You don't really plan to focus on training this boy, do you?" he asked loudly, with a bit of dissatisfaction in his tone.

Dumbledore walked to the window and looked into the distance: "Why not?"

"He..." Phineas Black started to speak, but suddenly he was at a loss for words, so he had to change his words temporarily, "A Ravenclaw..."

"Huh!" Delise Devont, who had long been dissatisfied with him, sneered.

"Are you going to talk about your nonsense about Slytherin being forever great again?"

Phineas was choked and felt uncomfortable for a while, so he shut his mouth angrily and stopped talking.

After he was silenced by the rebuke, another old headmaster said: "You should also think that the child is a bit strange, right?"

His voice was loud and full of energy.

"Oh?" Dumbledore looked slightly moved, "Can you please elaborate, Dexter?"

"Of course, Mr. Principal, this is my duty!" He glanced at Phineas Black as if inadvertently, with a look of disdain on his face.

"As you know, one of my descendants opened a cold drink shop in Diagon Alley, not far from Ollivander's wand shop. He has a pretty good relationship with this kid."

Dumbledore nodded slightly, indicating for him to continue.

"After the child came last time, I specifically asked the junior about it, and what we saw at that time was basically the same." He described, "However, I think his behavior today seems a little different.

"

"What's the difference?" Delis Derwent couldn't help but ask.

"According to my descendants, in addition to being polite, this kid is also a very generous person. He generously gives change as a tip every time..."

Phineas Black couldn't help but interjected: "As one of the great twenty-eight sacred families and the largest real estate owner in Diagon Alley, is there anything strange about the Ollivander family being generous in eating ice cream?

"

The whole room was quiet for a second, and many of the old principals in the portraits looked at him strangely.

Principal Dexter Fusco ignored him and told him what strange thing he had discovered.

"Why would a child who is used to being generous think of bargaining with Albus and be so shrewd?"

Delis Derwent nodded slightly: "It seems to make sense. Albus, what do you think?"

"Indeed," Dumbledore nodded and said, "Whether this child talks or behaves, he does not seem to be mature enough for an eleven-year-old child."

"Why don't you use the Legilimency Charm?" Phineas Black asked, "I mean the one you're best at, the silent one."

He raised two fingers and pointed at his eyes.

Dumbledore shook his head and said in a serious tone: "This is Hogwarts, Phineas. It's not the Wizengamot or Azkaban. I will never do anything to myself unless necessary."

Students use Legilimency.”

Phineas Black shrugged: "I'm just making a suggestion."

Delise Devont rarely sneered, and seemed to think this was a feasible suggestion.

"Some things don't necessarily need Legilimency to solve." Dumbledore said softly, "As long as I can still see the sincerity and integrity in his eyes, that's enough."
