The Transfiguration professor at Hogwarts is always up for business

For the next few days, Harry also became distracted, as expected.The originally beautiful vacation turned into a burden for him——

Days with nothing to do are so hard.

Although Ron was anxious, he had both parents and the juniors in his family could form a Quidditch team. Although he said he could understand Harry's desire for family affection, it was really difficult to empathize with him.

Snowball fights, games, wizard chess, all the tricks he could think of failed to arouse Harry's interest, even the Philosopher's Stone hidden on the fourth floor.

In fact, children are like this in many cases. The more you hide it from them, the more intense their curiosity will be.

Without the experience of two months of getting nothing, Harry's obsession with this matter is not as strong as in the original book.In addition, Snape didn't do much after that, and the little wizard didn't have anything to be a hero, so his mind calmed down.

Especially recently, his mind is full of parents and relatives, and he can't accommodate anything else.

All day long he looked forward to the night when he could put on the cloak and see his parents.

Just as Harry was staring at the second hand and preparing to act, Aini was in the principal's office.

Picking one from Dumbledore's pile of cockroaches, Aini threw it into the air with some disgust, Lulu's slender figure flashed past, and then let out a contented cry.

This little thing has the same hobbies as the principal. Ever since he tasted the taste of the pile of cockroaches, he has been deeply obsessed with this kind of food that makes Aini daunted.

Aini happily combed Fox's hair, which made Tom beside him very dissatisfied. Kuaisai Meow was still worried that you had other cats, but he didn't expect that your new love turned out to be a big bird.

What?Aini and Fox knew each other earlier?

Hmph, the kitten doesn't care about these things, anyway it decides to work harder (hard) and harder (cute) to get the most love from Aini.

But ヽ(°▽、°)?1?7

This big bird looks delicious. Meow.

Fox rubbed it in the crook of his arm in doubt, why is this little furry guy not very smart?

"Albus, do you know where Quirrell has gone?"

"I don't know his whereabouts. No one can follow him with a purpose. Just like I told you, Tom is a natural master of Legilimency, and those who follow him will only startle the enemy."

Dumbledore tried to tease Lulu with a bunch of cockroaches, but the little bird snake was unmoved, but turned his head and looked at Aini in a dazed manner.

The somewhat bored Dumbledore threw the pile of cockroaches he picked up into his mouth, and continued: "But yesterday, an old friend from Romania sent me a letter, which mentioned our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, they are in the local of Gringotts."

"Is it Tom's secret vault?" Reassuring the kitten who thought the owner was calling him, Aini was a little uncertain about Quirrell's itinerary.

It's hard to say what he has arranged for the Christmas holidays, but Hagrid's dragon eggs are likely to be one of the goals. Romania is most famous for its dragon breeding industry, and Voldemort's use of the secret vault is also likely to be related to this.

You must know that a dragon egg is not cheap, at least it costs thousands of gold gallons to start, and Qi Luo's savings can't afford it at all.That is, Hagrid, the number one invisible rich man in Hogwarts, would turn a blind eye to this kind of problem.

But despite the speculation, Aini couldn't tell Dumbledore now, at most he could just give a little guidance, or that sentence, he "shouldn't" know about it.

"Obviously they're going to have to spend a lot of money, maybe recruiting people, or buying big-ticket items."

Aini's two index fingers intersected lightly, and Quirrell disappeared for the whole vacation. It's impossible just for this one thing. I don't know if Lao Fu will make more preparations under the multiple blows of last semester.

"If there are any important items in the vault, it is the best choice to take them out before the start of this semester. At that time, Quirrell's strange changes have not been revealed to the public, and it is less likely to be noticed."

"That's right, Ernie." Dumbledore nodded slightly in affirmation.

"But there is an option that can be crossed out. Now that Tom's power is at a low point, he will not show his weakness to others. So the withdrawal of money will not be for recruiting people."

Aini also agrees with this. A person who does not know what loyalty is is also unable to believe that others will be loyal to him.And a person who believes in the supremacy of strength will have no sense of security at all when he is weak, and his suspicion will become heavier.

Maybe he can't be really killed now, but Voldemort absolutely doesn't want to miss the Philosopher's Stone, which may be the only chance in his life.

Aini remembered that Hagrid only got the dragon eggs in March and April. Normally speaking, a person who was already cautious for fear of revealing his flaws would obviously not carry such a sensitive item with him for a long time.

It seems that without the deterrence of the Dark Lord, even if he learned of some channels, Quirrell failed to get the spot during his trip to Romania.

Dumbledore got too few clues, and Aini couldn't speak too bluntly, so he simply changed the subject and asked questions about magic.

In front of him is the greatest white wizard recognized in the world, and it is impossible for many people to get his teachings.

The hands on the dial moved vigorously, and after answering a question for Aini again, Dumbledore looked up at the time, and then said, "Would you mind taking a walk with the old man? I need your help."

☆☆☆

When the two entered the classroom, Harry was already standing in front of the magic mirror.

Aini stood between Harry and the mirror a little narrowly. Harry's magical attainments could not find Aini who was wearing the Disillusionment Curse, but the Mirror of Erised would only serve the person at the front.

Therefore, under Harry's horrified eyes, the images of his parents and relatives gradually disappeared, and there was nothing on the mirror.

Aini lifted the Disillusionment Curse directly in front of Harry narrowly, seeing the sudden appearance of a human figure in front of him, Harry was shocked.

In fact he actually jumped, especially backwards...

"Ow~"

Dumbledore flexed and stretched his toes, almost couldn't help throwing away the force and rubbed them vigorously a few times, his nails seemed to be stuck in the flesh.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were behind." Harry stammered an apology to Dumbledore with his back turned to Ernie, without seeing the corner of his mouth curled up.

Dumbledore was also a little speechless, and somewhat understood Voldemort's previous mood. Why is this kid so skinny.

"Harry, it seems that this mirror does have extraordinary magic power. You have become obsessed with it, but your friend didn't come with you today, did he?"

Although Dumbledore didn't blame him, Harry still felt a little uncomfortable. The headmaster seemed to be disappointed in himself.

Soon Harry raised his head again, he didn't think it was wrong for a child to pursue his parents, that was the biggest tie in his heart.

Seeing Harry's stubborn little expression, Old Deng couldn't help but sigh, maybe he was asking too much of him.

Although he bears the halo of the savior, he is just an 11-year-old child who has lost his parents since he was a child. He can't even remember the appearance of his relatives. Even seeing their images is a big deal for this child. A great surprise.

He was even addicted to it and couldn't extricate himself.

Aini stepped forward and put his arms around the boy's shoulders, hugging him vigorously.

"Harry, although I don't want you to be indulging in illusions all the time, I think you are doing the right thing. On the contrary, I am very happy about it, which shows that the student I value is a kind and righteous person."

Harry felt that the strength of the professor's arm was too strong, and the forceful embrace squeezed his eyes, and big tears rolled out, dripped down his sharp chin, and rolled into tears on the dusty floor. Small balls are arranged together like family members, and they rely on each other, just like what you see in the mirror.

"But I'm not satisfied." Aini came to Harry's front, squatted down and looked straight into his eyes.

"I hope to see you become a loving and righteous man, able to complete your studies with excellent grades, make contributions to the best of your ability, shoulder the burden of the family, until you have your own children, and bring them up together. With the love of your father, mother and other relatives, we will continue on the journey of life together."

Harry completely let go of himself, fell down in front of the magic mirror and cried loudly, in the hazy eyes of tears, he seemed to see his relatives surrounding himself in the mirror, his grandfather made a funny look to make him happy, his father hugged him, Just like Professor Scamander did just now, while the mother hugged their father and son and kissed away the tears on his face.

Dumbledore left the room, his eyes a little allergic to domestic talk and needing some fluid to flush them out.

How I longed to be with you, Arianna, when I hoped to receive woolen socks from my mom on Christmas morning.

When Dumbledore returned to the classroom, Harry had already fallen asleep in Ernie's arms.It was obviously not suitable for the two of them to send Harry back to the dormitory, so they took him to Aini's office and asked the house elf to bring a set of bedding.

Let the tired little savior sleep here.

Tomorrow will be a brand new beginning.

After Harry settled down, the two returned to the classroom on the fifth floor, and Dumbledore, who was unusually silent all the way, also sent a request to Ernie.

"Ani, help the old man move this to the room on the fourth floor. My old arms and legs can't handle it anymore."

The old headmaster deliberately made a playful expression, but Aini found it far-fetched no matter how he looked at it.Let's talk about something solved by a spell, are you fooling me that I'm a Muggle?

It's okay to run errands for the elderly, but Aini doesn't want to do that today.

"Albus, I suggest leaving the Mirror of Erised here for the time being. I believe Harry can get out on his own, and we should give him a chance to prove it."

Dumbledore agreed to Aini's request after a little thought, and raised his opinion of him again in his heart.The child of this old friend will definitely have extraordinary achievements. Not every gifted person can treat the world with tenderness.

"I agree with you, Ernie, and I'm sure Harry will live up to our expectations."

Dumbledore raised his head, his eyes seemed to penetrate the wall and stare at the stars in the sky, and his heart that was originally lonely was injected with a little vitality. Maybe it would be good to see more of the future scenery before reuniting with his family.
