Chapter 94 Two people with similar personalities
"Are you... kidding?"
When Andrew and Huffman were brought into the cabin and sat down on the chairs, Huffman approached Andrew and sighed.
"Are you kidding? The principal is here, please pay attention to your image."
Andrew warned carefully - no matter how easy-going Dumbledore is, don't seek death.
As a prospective graduate of sixth grade, don't you plan to get a letter of recommendation from the principal?
"I'm not kidding, this room is kidding - this is my first time coming in... Look at what's hanging over there!"
Huffman hates the fact that iron cannot become steel.
But unfortunately, Andrew took a look and confirmed that it was something like a horse's tail - and then nothing happened.
"Magical Creatures Lesson!"
Huffman reminded in a low voice, and Andrew took another look to confirm that he didn't know anything - he could talk a few words about transfiguration in the fourth grade, Magical Creatures class? Never been on it.
"Unicorn tail hair, the kind that is priced by Galleons per hair!"
? ? ?
Are you kidding me? Andrew glanced at the things over there that he couldn't grasp, and then thought about Huffman's statement - just kidding, the price is almost as much as the last time they counted it!
“The thing cleaning the pot over there... hiss...”
Halfman couldn't even finish his sentence this time, and out of respect for a prefect, Andrew now believed in the luxurious decoration of this room.
The buns are meaty but not in the folds. This room may not be enough to be replaced by a front room in Hogsmeade - maybe more.
And a Gryffindor prefect could recognize it, but what about Dumbledore? No doubt it can.
Andrew finally understood where his biggest mistake was - Hagrid was a direct descendant.
The entire Hogwarts wall is actually guarded by Hagrid, which is why Professor McGonagall has to ask them to carefully write a report if they don't approve it, and they have to write a letter to appease him.
This hut appears to be on the edge of the castle, but in fact it completely blocks the most dangerous wall in the school - the Forbidden Forest.
Half of them are monitoring progress, and the other half are actually paying benefits.
Because this matter itself is not very formal - dragon eggs are illegal no matter what, and some operations are said to be compliant, but in detail...
Of course, it is impossible to expect full compliance. This place is not a compliant place. Andrew has long known and been used to it - although Hogwarts does not have as much power as the Ministry of Magic, it is still part of the rules.
Take the research team he went to last time to figure out how to make money in the Muggle world. It violated the Statute of Secrecy on the day it was established, but the Ministry of Magic not only knew about it but also injected full funding.
Another example is the herbal greenhouse. Andrew has read the reports several times about many herbs that are strictly prohibited to be cultivated - but the reports also have to be sent to the Ministry of Magic for money.
Even Professor Snape, there are few potion materials used in the project that are not on the prohibited list, and he is approved faster than anyone else...
This time, the dragon egg was actually placed in Professor Kettleburn's name. If Professor Kettleburn declares it, there is no need to cover up...
certainly. Andrew is more likely to have guessed wrong from the beginning - does Dumbledore really still have precious materials in his eyes?
But guessing these random things is safer than communicating with Dumbledore - although the description Dumbledore's character and experience are not safe, but Andrew doesn't investigate, he just guesses.
Just when he was thinking wildly, a very powerful voice came from outside the hut, "Ya Ya, you have to be brave!~"
Then there was the ingratiating bark of the cowardly dog, and then the door was knocked by a very strange sound.
"I'm coming, Albus!"
There was an awe-inspiring shout, and then the door was pushed open.
"Why do you do this!"
Before Andrew could digest the surprise given to him by the visitor, the professor, who was quite famous among the students, was already complaining.
"Fire, Flame, you should have hatched it before I came. Hagrid, how many times have you and I discussed this and you still haven't remembered it?" Before Andrew had a bad association, the professor had already He shouted, and then walked quickly to the somewhat black egg.
"Let me examine it."
He used his only remaining hand (Professor Kettleburn permanently lost one and a half legs and one arm due to injuries from dangerous magical creatures) and lovingly stroked the dragon egg with soft eyes, "Yes, the lively little Guy…”
…
Andrew tried hard to hold back laughter with Huffman.
"Light a fire and don't put out the fireplace. The bigger the fire, the faster it will hatch!"
As he spoke, he acted decisively, as deftly as a man with only one and a half limbs. He placed the dragon egg, lit the fire, then observed the flames and glared at Dumbledore.
"I actually want to donate!"
"What are you afraid of if you are raised in the Forbidden Forest!"
"Hagrid will keep a good eye on her!"
"she?"
"Yes," Professor Kettleburn looked at Hagrid, "Obviously, she is a beautiful girl, didn't you notice?"
The two had a very pleasant exchange, and even Dumbledore couldn't stay any longer - and when he left, he specially took away Andrew and Halfman, who were completely unable to interrupt.
…
"This is the reason why Minerva and I have never planned to give them approval," Dumbledore said to the two of them with a smile outside the room, "But you can't do the work in the school alone, you have to discuss it, right?"
The two nodded—only a fool would object.
"Go there once a week to take a look and report to Minerva - I know them. If you expect them to send away the dragons, I'm afraid the next generation of dragon eggs will be hatched."
"Well, good-bye, gentlemen, I have to go back and take care of my official business - the work in the principal's office is always unfinished."
Dumbledore nodded at them and walked away.
"Well, did you hear it?"
Huffman looked at Andrew.
"I'm a little skeptical."
The two nodded - why did Dumbledore plan to let them go to the principal's office to work despite what he said?
"Maybe I heard it wrong..."
Huffman was a little confused.
"We must have misunderstood."
Andrew was categorical - he wouldn't change jobs even if he was paid three times the salary. He wouldn't dare to expose it... Bah, he loves what he does and plans to work in Professor McGonagall's office until graduation!
Well, when I was writing the book in the afternoon, I could also include a villain in it who looked down on Dumbledore - I just said that he thought writing papers at his age was a way of sensationalizing and deceiving attention, and young people should study hard.
Then don't slap him in the face, but let the other person find out that Dumbledore's paper solved the topic that he has been stuck on for nearly a year, making him feel ashamed, and then become Dumbledore and support Dumbledore many times in public.
There's nothing you can do about it - it's nice to be slapped in the face, but Lockhart has used it in various ways. His adventure stories are full of supporting characters.
'So, once again strengthen your faith and never go to Dumbledore's office! ’
