Harry Potter: The Grand Arcanist

"What's the matter, Severus, what's the matter?"Dumbledore looked up at the Potions Professor who hurried into the principal's office, and asked with a smile:"Would you like some candy, a new product from the Bee Duke Candy Shop?"

"No thanks, looks unappetizing. Snape glanced at the gummies with disgust. The candies resembled cockroaches. He put the parchment in front of Dumbledore,"Look at this!""

"Oh, what a shame. This is... a great paper, and could even be published in the Daily Prophet, the Practical Potions Master column."After Dumbledore read the parchment, he made a speech and put a gummy candy into his mouth and chewed it slowly.

"Did you see the last signature?"Snape said expressionlessly.

"I see, Mr. Parth Lannister. Dumbledore raised his head and asked,"Is there any problem?""

"What happened to that little devil? Snape asked rhetorically,"I just saw him writing this paper with a shorthand quill while making the potion." Don't tell me, he's just a first-year freshman, even if that group passes O.W.L.None of the idiots are at this level"

"Perhaps, you should have more confidence in your students, such as Mr. Lannister. His talent in potions is great, isn't it?"Dumbledore suggested:"Would you like a cup of black tea?"

"His magical attainments are not low. Are you sure that guy is not a guy who drank the polypotion and broke into Hogwarts to do evil?"Snape raised his doubts

"I think it is unlikely. Parth Lannister is indeed on the Hogwarts admission list, there is no doubt about it."Dumbledore said with a smile:"Of course, you can't deny that there are always geniuses in the world, and if his family teaches the use of magic in advance, it is not impossible."

Dumbledore added a few pieces of sugar to his black tea, took a sip and continued:"The surname Lannister does not look like a Chinese, and……"

Dumbledore put down the tea cup, raised his hand and tapped on the parchment,"His writing is a bit like a foreigner's style. Of course, it is undeniable that his English is very standard."

"You should pay attention to that kid, he looks very abnormal, and he also has very good Occlumency. I can't see through his thoughts."Snape left these words, and before leaving, he took away the parchment filled with papers from Dumbledore's hand.

"Please help keep an eye on that kid, Basil."Dumbledore turned to the portrait and said

"There are always a few geniuses in Ravenclaw, that's no surprise, Dumbledore." Basil protested dissatisfiedly

"Of course I know," Dumbledore said with a smile:"If he is really that good, you should give him as much help as possible, right?"

Basil snorted twice and disappeared from the photo frame.

Of course, Dumbledore noticed something strange about Paz as early as the entrance ceremony.

However, he did not feel any malice from the other party.

During the entrance ceremony At that time, Dumbledore only saw the look and scrutiny in the other person's eyes. The look was somewhat similar to his own. At that time, Dumbledore even wondered whether it was the same confidence and arrogance of his old friend Greenwater. Still a bit indifferent

"I've already heard the news."Basil reappeared and reported to Dumbledore:"Mr. Lannister is a very smart boy who likes to read books. As Professor Snape said, the other party had already mastered a considerable degree of magic before entering the school. He was quite powerful. Even Flitwick was very optimistic about him."

"He is knowledgeable, wise, creative...all the qualities of Ravenclaw are almost perfectly reflected in him"

"By the way, Mr. Lannister seems to be very interested in the library. According to him, half of the time he comes to Hogwarts is for the rich collection of books in the library."Basil is also very interested in Paz. There hasn't been a genius in Ravenclaw for a long time.

"how do you know?"Dumbledore asked curiously

"He said it himself, hoping to have the opportunity to borrow books from the restricted book section. Basil nodded and said,"I think it won't be long before he becomes a genius that surpasses you.""

"I can't deny this. Dumbledore said with a twinkle in his eye:"However, the matter of borrowing books in the forbidden book area must wait for a while." I think Mr. Lannister can take advantage of this time to get familiar with Hogwarts, such as making some friends, or falling in love."

……

"Thank you, Principal Basil. After listening to Basil's message, Paz's face twitched and said,"Of course, I have a lot of time. I don't know if you have any good suggestions. I'm talking about books.""

After a brief exchange with Basil, Paz looked for the other party again to make a proposal.

"Who were you talking to just now?"Eddie asked curiously

"You didn't go out to play?"Paz calmly changed the subject.

"It's not all because of you. Eddie rolled his eyes at Paz and complained:"You have finished writing Snape's paper on the potion to cure hemorrhoids, but we are unlucky.""

"You have to write it anyway, do you think you can escape?"After doing experiments, you always need to write some records. This is normal.

Magic potions are no exception.

"You said it quite easily. Eddie rolled his eyes and muttered:"I don't have a clue right now.""

"After writing down the process of the experiment, and then writing some things that should be paid attention to, as well as my own thoughts, the paper is almost ready."Paz said matter-of-factly

"By the way, where did you buy your shorthand quill?"

"Shorthand quill? what is that? Paz asked back."A quill for casting spells?" This is not a bad idea."

Eddie turned back and looked at the others. Everyone was silent. This thought was not on the same channel at all!

"So how do you do it? Qiu asked

"Of course it's magic. However, it is probably a bit difficult for you to learn. Paz pulled out his wand, tapped Qiu's quill lightly and said,"Okay, it is now what you call a shorthand quill. The magic will probably lose its effectiveness after a while.""Putting away his wand, Paz was ready to go out for a walk. It was too crowded here and he didn't like it.

Moreover, some of Hogwarts' ideas are good and can be used in his own floating city in the future.

"Where are you going? Put a spell on my quill too! Eddie couldn't help but wailed.
