In the principal's office, Dumbledore was leisurely sipping his own lemon tea, the kind with a lot of honey added.

He didn't show any surprise when he saw Salazar, and even extended his hands very enthusiastically to signal Salazar to sit in front of him: "Would you like a cup of tea? It's a new product recently developed by the elves at Hogwarts. .”

Salazar did not refuse, and then he was given a cup of hot lemon thick tea with honey.

The sweetness of honey in the hot steam instantly fills people's nostrils. It is an extremely sweet smell.

When Dumbledore tried to recommend his new tea to Snape, he was rejected by Snape as expected.

"I don't need it, I only drink coffee, bitter coffee!!!"

Dumbledore persuaded Snape earnestly: "Why bother? You don't have classes in the afternoon. A cup of sweet tea is also a way of entertainment. Relax, relax. Life can't only be bitter, but you must also give it to yourself. A little sweet.”

Snape still refused, with a cold face.

Dumbledore sighed regretfully and looked at Salazar.

"Speaking of which, you didn't come to school without saying a word, and then you gave me a letter later. Alas... what a pity..." Dumbledore said, stroking his white beard and looking into his eyes. In the smog of hot air, Salazar on the other side could not distinguish the emotions in it.

really.

Salazar thought to himself that he really didn't like Dumbledore and didn't like dealing with this old man. He was too ill-intentioned.

The most terrifying thing is that Dumbledore, like Godric, has an instinct to see through people's hearts.

If Godric had to learn to read people's colors because he had been around the moody goddess Vivian since he was a child, and under heavy pressure, then Dumbledore's thoroughness in seeing people was probably Comes from his rich life experience in this life.

It's a rule of thumb.

However, this is also what Salazar hates about Dumbledore the most. When talking to this old man, he has to keep his heart in mind and concentrate at all times.

It can only be said that Dumbledore is not an evil person, he is a good person, a good person in every sense of the word, and his extremely high moral restraint allows Salazar to still tolerate Dumbledore.

"Recuperating."

Salazar answered succinctly.

This was one of the reasons he gave to Dumbledore. He was indeed seriously injured after the battle with Voldemort, especially mentally unstable. Salazar understood him. Godric was gone at that time. , his whole mood was a little out of control, as if to vent, he killed many Death Eaters. If a few Death Eaters hadn't realized that something was wrong and fled to Azkaban, Salazar would have been able to kill the Death Eaters. Kill all the backbone.

Among them, there were actually some people who had nothing to do with Godric's sacrifice. Sara looked into them just to vent her anger.

Dumbledore sighed and said, "Yes, I am also worried about your condition. If only you had trusted me more at that time, Seles, my poor child."

Salazar lowered his head, pretending to taste the tea in his hand, and did not react too much to Dumbledore's childish words.

In the portrait on the wall, a former principal reminded: "Dumbledore, those two children are here."

Dumbledore put down his teacup, straightened his beard, and sat up straighter.

Angus walked in before Tom with an ugly face. After he saw Salazar, his eyes were fixed on Salazar anxiously.

This made Salazar a little confused. He frowned slightly, seeing something wrong with Angus's mood.

When Tom came in with a suppressed smile on his lips, Salazar's sharp eyes glanced over. Noticing Salazar's eyes, Tom's body trembled instinctively, and then he took a step back, panic flashing in his eyes.

Dumbledore couldn't help frowning when he saw these frowns, but he quickly regained his gentle expression.

"Tom, come~~" Dumbledore waved to Tom.

Tom looked at Dumbledore warily. He felt that if there was anyone in Hogwarts who was the first to doubt his true identity, then it must be Dumbledore, an old man with as many tricks as a beehive. Now he is so kindly When facing yourself, there is definitely a plan behind it.

So, Tom immediately showed a standard fake smile, walked up to Dumbledore, and said very politely: "Hello, Mr. Headmaster."

Dumbledore didn't pay attention to Tom's fake smile. He raised his hand and patted Tom's head. After Tom gritted his molar teeth, he endured it and continued to maintain the deformed fake smile, a flash of light flashed in his eyes. A hint of playful smile.

If this were Voldemort himself, he would have taken out his wand and given Dumbledore an Avatar.

Dumbledore looked at Salazar and said with a smile: "Actually, it's just a joke between children. It's very unnecessary for Sev to ask you to come over."

Salazar snorted and looked angry.

"I don't think so. There is a saying that is very good. If you make some excessive jokes when you are young and do not make any corrections, then when you grow up, the child will definitely become a habitual criminal of murder and arson."

Tom looked at Dumbledore and Salazar suspiciously, not understanding for a moment.

"Serious, it's too serious to say so." Dumbledore waved his hands and said. "I already know from Professor Snape that Riddle and Slytherin are strangers to each other, and their personalities are not so complementary. Some of the conflicts that arise are just a bet between the two children. What do you mean? Two people bet, who wins?"

Dumbledore looked at Tom and asked with a smile.

"Can you tell me the principal? I'm really curious."

Angus snorted heavily, and then said: "He loses!"

Tom was about to retort, and then he heard Salazar's cough. He looked over, and Salazar's eyes were full of threats.

Tom had no choice but to say honestly: "I lose."

"What will be the consequences if we lose?" Dumbledore blinked, probably really curious about the bet.

Tom reluctantly replied: "I lost the bet. While I am at Hogwarts, I cannot harm or harm classmate Angus Slytherin in any way."

Angus added coldly: "I just don't want to have such a malicious guy around me during my time at Hogwarts!"

"Oh~~That's it. So, what if you win?"

Dumbledore looked serious. He looked at Tom, waiting for Tom's answer.

Tom narrowed his eyes: "If he loses, he will leave Hogwarts."

Dumbledore smiled. He also narrowed his eyes and said in a very gentle tone: "This is wrong. Letting Slytherin students leave Hogwarts is not something you can decide by just making a bet. Hogwarts will never be decided." It will not reject any little wizard who wants to learn, nor will it easily drive away any little wizard who needs help."

Dumbledore smiled very lovingly: "Don't just say that you want any classmate to leave Hogwarts. My child, this is wrong."
