The man behind Hogwarts

Hearing the words telling him to stop coming from the kitchen, William suddenly had an idea in his mind:

"If I rush out of the door now..."

"He will definitely not be able to catch up...but the consequences are unclear..."

He stopped retreating, a more steady smile appeared on his face, straightened his collar and collar, looked straight, and walked in at a leisurely pace.

Just as I turned the corner, I saw what was going on inside.

With a quick glance, he understood the situation and started thinking about a solution.

"Hello Headmaster, I am William Sides, a Ravenclaw student."

Dumbledore nodded slightly, "William, I've often heard people mention you recently. The Gem Club you established is pretty good."

"Thank you."

"So," Dumbledore said with a slight smile, "can you tell me why you came to the kitchen?"

Just like the question asked to the Weasley brothers just now, the Weasley brothers immediately lowered their heads and squinted at him, wanting to hear his answer; compared to the solemn atmosphere in the kitchen just now, they felt a little more relaxed now.

Dasu, who was among the elves, froze. His heart told him that he should stand up and help William out, but the will to obey in his bones did not allow it.

"I'm sorry principal."

William sincerely apologized first, and then continued: "I know that we students should not come to the kitchen. I also knew that this approach was inappropriate at the beginning, but I have to admit that I am a bit greedy for words."

Not telling the whole truth, but telling part of it.

This is the kitchen, what else can you do in the kitchen? Of course I'm looking for something to eat. This reason couldn't be more legitimate.

For example, a certain old man Deng...

"I didn't expect that you are also a glutton." Dumbledore thought about the purpose of his trip and smiled inwardly.

"Well...it's normal for a kid to be a little greedy."

The Weasley brothers nodded repeatedly, their eyes showing hope. That's right, that's the reason why we don't want to explore the secrets and adventure.

"However, I still have to punish you. What does the school rules say...let me think about it..."

"Students are not allowed to enter the kitchen without permission. Violators will be imprisoned for one day." William gave the answer loudly before he could think about it.

Dumbledore groaned, "Yes, confinement for one day." He then said to himself: "I am old, who can still remember so many management regulations."

As soon as these words came out, the solemn atmosphere in the kitchen suddenly became lighter.

Next, Dumbledore did not let them leave immediately, but let the elves go about their business while he and the three William chatted peacefully.

The Weasley brothers were so clever and energetic that they immediately made Dumbledore laugh.

"I hope you can keep the secret of the kitchen." Dumbledore said to the three of them: "You have also seen that there are many elves here. For many little wizards, they don't know how to get along with elves."

All three of them nodded, only patting their chests and promising.

When the Weasley brothers found out that the principal was so kind, they were finally devastated; moreover, the principal didn't seem to ban them from entering the kitchen...

"Principal, all your things have been delivered to your office." An elf approached and reported to him honestly.

"Ok."

He turned to look at the three of them: "My office is not convenient for you to be detained, so where do you want to be detained?"

This can also be chosen by yourself?

Brother George opened his mouth in surprise, looked at his brother, and found that he also had an expression of disbelief.

"Principal...can we choose?"

"If your suggestions are legitimate and reasonable, I will consider them."

The two brothers looked at each other and thought of someone in their minds. They both said in unison: "How is Madam Pomfrey's office?"

Madam Pomfrey is the doctor and head nurse of Hogwarts. She has always been indifferent to worldly affairs. Although her attitude is quite cold, she is considered good compared to other teachers.

They did not choose their own dean, and they prayed that it would be best not to let Professor McGonagall know.

"The school hospital?" Dumbledore muttered as an old man, "Okay, I will tell her later, you can go find her yourself."

He then joked: "I'm glad you didn't pick 'Professor Binns.'"

The two of them smiled. They had originally thought of this candidate, but they thought it was too shameless and might offend the principal, so they didn't dare to say anything.

The three of them looked at William at this time.

"Principal, if possible, I would like to go to Mrs. Pince for solitary confinement." He said in a spring-like tone.

George curled his lips and said, "Okay, this is even more extreme."

Dumbledore's eyes were as deep as the vast stars. He looked at William through his glasses and admired him in his heart when he saw his way of advancing and retreating freely and being calm about honor and disgrace.

There was absolutely no trace of the little thought behind the suggestion to go to Madam Pince for confinement.

He simply wanted to take advantage of the confinement time to study.

"can."

Dumbledore did not deny it. He was really like a kind grandfather at this time, "You are indeed very Ravenclaw."

......

After watching Dumbledore leave, the atmosphere in the kitchen finally returned to normal.

The elves started chirping in twos and threes. Although their master was Dumbledore, not all the elves had regular contact with him and were in great awe of him.

Dasu was wrapped in a napkin, holding a glass of honey water in both hands, and walked in front of William with thumping calves: "William, honey water!"

"Thank you, Dasu." William knelt down to take it and said apologetically: "I almost caused you trouble just now. I'm very sorry."

Dasu waved his hands repeatedly, his eyes anxious: "It's okay, it's okay."

Looking at William's sincere expression, he felt like drinking from a sweet spring, and the last little emotion deep in his heart disappeared.

Without further disturbing William, he skipped away happily, and gave a triumphant wink to the other group of elves, causing them to start chirping sharply again.

George relaxed, sat on the stool, put his hands back on the table, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"I didn't expect the principal to be so..."

"Yes, it's really unexpected. He is indeed the great white wizard!" Fred also followed George's action, "William, why are you in the kitchen at this time?"

It's not meal time now, and the teachers and students will definitely not come here, so they took the opportunity to come over.

William shrugged helplessly, and followed their actions and sat on the stool, "I'm hungry, let's find some food."

"Dasu, is there anything to eat?"

"Yes, wait a moment."

"What about you? Why did you come here at this time?"

Fred weakly raised his finger and pointed at George, "It's not because of him." George slapped his finger away and raised his eyebrows at William.

The two did not leave immediately, but shamelessly stayed to ask William about the club.

The two were in the second grade, the same grade as Fran and Cedric. They had already heard the news, but because they were not familiar with each other, they didn't ask much about it. Now they caught William and asked.
