Mysterious Walker at Hogwarts

The days that followed were really boring. Whenever Dean had free time, he went into the Room of Requirement and studied the pair of wool socks given to him by Grindelwald, trying to discover the inheritance inside.

Unfortunately, it was a pity that he tried every means, but it seemed that he could only prove that it was a pair of ordinary wool socks.

Dean has wanted to give the wool socks to Dumbledore more than once. Perhaps only he can discover the secrets on the wool socks. Unfortunately, Dumbledore seems to be deliberately avoiding him recently, and Dean can hardly see him.

As for the weekly appointment with Snape, it was also very boring. Every time Snape threw him a steaming bottle of special medicine for treating apathy and drove him away——Snape Nep seemed particularly afraid of being alone with Dean recently.

Quirrell didn't seem to be making much progress. Dean rarely encountered him except for Defense Against the Dark Arts classes. According to the gossip brought by Big Mouth Seamus, Quirrell often took time off to go to St. Mungo's Hospital of Witchcraft and Wizardry for medical treatment.

Everyone was convinced of this, because Quirrell was weakening at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

Dean suspected that if it hadn't been for the previous warning to the centaurs, some unicorns might have been poisoned by Quirrell (Voldemort).

Unfortunately, "Mission: Save the Unicorn" shows no sign of being completed. Dean suspects that this mission will not be completed until the end of the semester, after Voldemort possessing Quirrell is completely eliminated.

Adhering to the principle that the enemy cannot move, I cannot move, and on the premise that Quirrell did not cause trouble, Dean temporarily let the "Secret Walker" cease.

Dumbledore already knew that he was pretending to be the Mystery Walker, so unless there was a good reason, Dean didn't want the Mystery Walker to wander under Dumbledore's nose and give the other party the illusion of restlessness.

What's more important is that Dean has been troubled by one thing recently: Seeing that the agreed time to meet Grindelwald again is getting closer and closer, he is still struggling with which question to ask Grindelwald first: how to completely solve the Obscurus. ?Or about his grandfather?Or maybe it's the Blood Oath Pendant?Let's dig deeper into Grindelwald's glory back then - he always felt that Grindelwald should have a large-scale mission, but unfortunately he couldn't find a way to trigger it.

Finally one day at breakfast, an owl brought Dean a letter with no beginning and no end. There was only one sentence on it: "The eggs were bought."

Dean breathed a sigh of relief. Quirrell finally remembered Boss Bok and bought the dragon egg that Mundungus had obtained. I am afraid that Quirrell will go to the Pig's Head Bar next and pretend to be a hawker to lose to Haigron. Egg, and get the method to deal with Lu Wei from him.

Dean thought for a moment, it seemed like he couldn't get involved in this matter.

However, in order to test whether Quirrell was still worthy of saving, Dean had specifically told him to notify the Mysterious Walker as soon as he found the dragon egg.

If Quirrell keeps his promise, it means that Quirrell still trusts him and has not been completely corrupted by Voldemort. Dean feels that he can consider saving his soul.

As for how to save it, Dean has been busy recently. He has consulted a lot of information in the forbidden book area and has already gained some ideas.

Dean has given him a chance, now it's up to Quirrell to choose.

Unfortunately, before Dean could see the sign of Quirrell's appointment with the Mystic Walker, Dumbledore, who had been avoiding him for a long time, came to find him again.

After entering the principal's office again, Dean was much calmer than last time. Before Dumbledore appeared, he was even in the mood to look at the portraits of the previous principals.

He noticed that Phineas Nigellus Black, the most unpopular headmaster in the history of Hogwarts, was unabashedly eyeing him.

It was a contradictory look that both disgusted and had to pay attention to.

Dean suddenly remembered that he might be a direct descendant of this principal. No wonder he was looked at like this by the principal who advocated pure blood.

A bold idea came to Dean's mind. Maybe he could get some secrets of his life experience from Principal Phineas?

Just when he mustered up the courage to ask, there was a sudden disembodiment sound behind him, and then Dumbledore's figure appeared in the principal's office.

Dean was immediately shocked: "Principal, I-I always thought that Apparition was not allowed within the confines of Hogwarts."

"Ah, the principal always has some privileges." Dumbledore said cheerfully, "If I don't do this, I might not have time to meet you. It's not a good habit to break an appointment."

"It's great to be the principal." Dean could only reply.

"How is it? Is there anyone who will take over my position in the future?" Dumbledore asked smartly.

"Ha, that's still too far away. I can't think that far away." Dean laughed dryly.

"Well, if you have this desire, you can tell me at any time. I have a lot of pretty good suggestions to give you." I don't know if he heard it wrong, but Dean heard something from Dumbledore's tone. Hopes and expectations.

"Then I thank you in advance."

"Well, you know I'm very busy lately, so we'll keep this short."

Sorry, I don't know what you are busy with.Dean replied mentally.

"I think you must know that Quirrell got a dragon egg."

Dean's heart skipped a beat after hearing this. Did Dumbledore even know that Boss Burke secretly sent him a letter?

"Well, as long as I want to know, there are always some ways to find out some information in Hogwarts." Dumbledore seemed to have guessed Dean's thoughts and winked at him mischievously.

"What do you want me to do." Dean believed that Dumbledore would never mention this matter for no reason.

"To be precise, I want the 'Mysterious Walker' to do a favor." Before Dumbledore finished speaking, a task popped up in the system.

"Quest: Dumbledore's request.

Dumbledore seems to have a request from you, agree and fulfill his request.

Reward: 2 skill points, Dumbledore's favorability +10, and randomly receive one of his rewards. "

This task is a bit interesting. First of all, it’s not too difficult in terms of skill point rewards. Secondly, this is the first time Dean has received a task that can increase Dumbledore’s favorability. Although the increase is not much, it finally means that Dumbledore can also do it. The most interesting thing is to "get one of his rewards randomly". It seems that it is not given directly by the system, but awarded by Dumbledore himself. This is an unprecedented reward method.

"Professor, just say it straight." Dean said a little impatiently.

"I request you to get the dragon egg from Quirrell, and then find a way to give the dragon egg to Hagrid as the Mysterious Walker, and use this as a condition to get Lu Wei from Hagrid's mouth. method."

Dumbledore's request left Dean speechless. Wasn't this asking the Mystic Walker to play the hawker who lost to Hagrid's egg in the original book?

"Professor, I don't understand why we have to go around in such a big circle. Whether we let Quirrell trade with Hagrid by himself, or I directly exchange the dragon eggs from Quirrell through Lu Wei and then give them to Hagrid, it doesn't matter. It's not difficult." Dean was very confused by Dumbledore's arrangement. This was not an unnecessary step, but an unnecessary step.
