A Magical Journey Starting at Hogwarts

"Aaron, is it a dragon?" Hagrid asked expectantly.

Although in some ways Abe has nothing to do with dragons, he has raised so many magical animals and has a certain intuition in this regard.

Aaron hesitated for a while before reluctantly nodding.

“A dragon, a special dragon.

But it's not mutation, nor is it hybridization.

If I must say it, my Abe is the only and most noble existence among dragons. "

After the words fell, four pairs of curious and surprised eyes fell on Abe, which made Aaron feel a little unhappy and subconsciously hugged the pet in his arms tightly.

"Don't be nervous, Aaron." Dumbledore smiled, "We won't do anything to it. After all, its performance last night was really great and even played a decisive role.

If it weren't for it, Professors Snape and McGonagall might have suffered more than just minor injuries.

Hogwarts can't afford to lose two professors, let alone two deans, so... it deserves a lot of credit. "

"Thank you for the compliment."

"But the credit is clear." Dumbledore changed his subject, "We must admit that you defended Hogwarts and even prevented a possible catastrophe.

But it's a fact that you brought a magical animal to this magic school, so you have to accept some punishment.

I came up with a good idea, which gives me credit but also my fault.

The merits and demerits balance out, you can raise it, but it cannot appear in school from the next semester. What do you think? "

Aaron frowned, always feeling that the words 'the merits outweigh the faults' were full of profound meaning.

"Professor, I would like to ask, how is my credit calculated?"

Dumbledore crossed his fingers and put his hands on his desk, making a serious look.

"The credit is the score of the house. The three Gryffindors, Harry, Hermione, and Ron, performed well last night. I will give them some encouragement.

Of course you do too, and your reward is even greater because you deserve it. "

"oh!"

Aaron suddenly realized that the only thing that could be related to scores was the Academy Cup.

Gryffindor is second to last, a few points ahead of Hufflepuff, and Slytherin's victory is already certain.

But if due to some major incident Gryffindor's points skyrocketed, even exceeding the 150 points deducted by Harry and the others, then the gap would be infinitely reduced.

Unless Slytherin can also improve the corresponding points, it is not impossible to be overtaken.

But why did Dumbledore do this? Could it be that Slytherin had won the Academy Cup for six consecutive years, which even an old wizard from Gryffindor couldn't bear to stand?

This possibility cannot be ruled out, but it is very unlikely.

The Academy Cup is an honor, but if it were not for the system tasks, Aaron would not even look down on this meaningless honor, let alone Dumbledore, the greatest white magician of this century.

Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Aaron's mind.

Dumbledore was indeed for Gryffindor, more specifically for the three wizards of Gryffindor, and even more specifically for Harry Potter.

Using the honor of the Academy Cup can really encourage him to the greatest extent and make this boy who is relatively unfamiliar with the wizarding world more confident, especially in his first year of school, he defeated Slytherin, who had won the Academy Cup for six consecutive years.

There is no one else. He, the Slytherin, is favored by the Dark Lord, while Harry Potter, the Gryffindor, is favored by the White Lord.

"Okay! I figured something out." Aaron rubbed his temples, and then said in a solemn tone, "But I'm sorry, I don't want to give up on this Academy Cup yet."

Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Aaron to see through his intentions.

Snape frowned slightly. When Aaron said this, he also thought of Dumbledore's purpose.

To be honest, he wasn't very interested in the House Cup, but he was very interested in defeating Gryffindor and suppressing Harry Potter.

If Gryffindor were to back up Slytherin because of Harry and others, he might be depressed for a while this summer.

Professor McGonagall felt like it was pie in the sky. Although Aaron did not agree, this was only temporary.

Unless he could convince Dumbledore that he was justified in keeping this magical creature, which was obviously impossible.

"Let's talk about my fault! Professor Dumbledore." Aaron said meaningfully, and then glanced at Fawkes perched on a golden branch, "If it is wrong to raise a magical animal, it seems that except for me , and someone at Hogwarts raised a magical animal.

Principal Dumbledore, you can't have such double standards! "

"I'm the principal."

"Can the principal be nobler than the students?

Or does the headmaster not have to abide by the rules and regulations of Hogwarts? Aaron asked back, "And I remember that it doesn't seem to say in the school rules that you are not allowed to keep magical animals, right?" "

"It's not written." Dumbledore said solemnly, "But dangerous animals are not allowed to be kept, such as...dragons, or thunderbirds.

They can cause a lot of damage just by sneezing. There are too many people in the school, and most of them are not very strong. What if there is an accident?

Our authority Hagrid may have a better say in this regard. He once raised an Acromantula, and the result was obviously that he was severely punished. "

Hagrid lowered his head slightly and whispered in frustration: "Aragog is innocent and has nothing to do with the so-called secret room."

“But you can’t deny its danger, it is ferocious by nature, and its instinct is to feed on humans.

Even if it listens to you, Hagrid, you can't guarantee that it will want to change its taste one day, have a toothpaste or something. "

"Uh... well, I can guarantee that my Abe is safe," Aaron said.

"It's a pity." Dumbledore shook his head, "Hagrid thought so too at first, but this kind of unfounded guarantee is not convincing at all.

And a safe magical animal will not suddenly become so big, let alone attack a dark wizard who can panic the wizarding world.

Aaron, your pet is more powerful and more dangerous than you think. "

"Professor, with all due respect.

If Abe is really like you said, how should you explain Fox?

The phoenix is ​​a powerful magical creature. It is very magical. Many wizards who have seen a dragon may not have seen a phoenix. "

"Yes!" Dumbledore nodded, "The phoenix is ​​very powerful, I don't deny it.

But the reason why I can keep it is because I have tamed it, it listens to me and will not hurt others.

Many people can prove this. Sir Merlin, the Ministry of Magic, and the International Federation of Wizards can vouch for me. They all believe that I have this ability. "

"That means that as long as someone can vouch for me, I can also support Abe?" Aaron asked meaningfully.

"You can say that.

However, the guarantor cannot be too casual and needs to have sufficient authority.

If it's your parents, don't mention it. Their status may be very noble, but they need to avoid suspicion in this matter. "

Aaron let out a long sigh. He was very glad that he had made adequate preparations before coming to school, otherwise he would have been caught off guard.

Who would have thought that the majestic White Devil could be as petty as the Dark Lord, and would go out of his way to bully a twelve-year-old student in order to achieve his own goals.

If it had been anything else, Aaron might have endured it.

But the Academy Cup is related to his mission and is the first pot of gold on his growth path, so he can't let it go.

"How are you considering it?" Dumbledore asked, maybe he felt a little embarrassed, "Of course, as long as you can get enough guarantees during the holidays, you can raise it in school.

But not this semester, forget it if you don’t find it, but now that we have found it, we can’t turn a blind eye, and we ask for your understanding. "

Aaron: ...

You have already used power for personal gain, how dare you ask others to understand you?

"Forget it, Gaius, that's it!" Snape pretended not to care, "It's just the Academy Cup, I'll just get it back next school year."

"No." Aaron said righteously, "Although I am not interested in the Academy Cup, what is mine must be mine, and no one can take it away."

"But..."

"Wait a moment." Aaron interrupted him and took out a piece of yellow paper from his pocket, "This is my guarantee."

Snape was stunned for a moment, then took the yellow paper and read it.

But after a few glances, his hands accidentally trembled, and then he looked at Aaron in surprise and asked in disbelief, "Is this true?"

"Of course it's true. Does anyone in the magical world dare to joke with their names?"

"It's hard to tell!" Snape breathed a sigh of relief, "After all, I only know half of the names on this guarantee, and I've never heard of the rest.

But only this half will allow you to raise it openly.

This is the first time I've seen someone do this for a magical animal. It's really incredible. "
