Dumbledore opened his eyes and nodded for Mel to speak her mind.

Mel moved his hips and adjusted his sitting posture.Clenching her hands together, "Professor, you see, I only have problems with Charms, Transfiguration, and Potions, and the performance of other courses is normal." (Although, that is because magic is not used in other courses) Mei Earl thought sadly, "So, I can apply to sit in on these three courses, right? Since magic is not used, there will be no such dangerous things happening, and my classmates will be safe. Now that there is no danger, Parents have nothing to say."

"As for the board." Mel bit his lip, "I am willing to compensate for the losses I caused in Potions class, including those of Professor Snape and his classmates."

After speaking, Mel stared at Dumbledore anxiously, waiting for his reply.

"Mel, do you know what this decision means?" Dumbledore looked at Mel with pity, "It means that you can only study magic theory. You can't take OWLs exams, NWLs exams, and you can't do wizard work. You can't integrate into the wizarding world. And seven years later, after you graduate from Hogwarts, if you can't survive in the wizarding world and want to return to the Muggle world, you will find that you can no longer adapt to the Muggle life Can you bear other people's strange eyesight, exclusion and discrimination? Mel, a Squib from a wizard family, why can't you come to Hogwarts to study, but let them integrate into the Muggle world! This is all reasonable .”

Listening to Dumbledore's words, Mel was very moved. Of course, if she is an ordinary child, this worry is right.But Mel doesn't think that's going to happen to her. "Professor, I'm very touched that you think of me so much." Mel looked at the old man with white hair with moist eyes, "But, you have to have confidence in me, I'm not a squib. I have magic power, it's just It’s just not obedient, I believe it won’t be like this forever. One day in the future, my magic power will be obedient. I will become the brightest star in Hogwarts, don’t be surprised when the time comes!”

Dumbledore looked at Mel without speaking for a long time, finally, he let out a long breath, with a gentle smile, looked at Mel and shook his head, "Optimism is a very precious quality, Mel, cherish it it!"

"As for the compensation! Mel, I don't think our board of directors will embarrass an 11-year-old child for such a small explosion!"

Dumbledore stood up, and it seemed he was going to end the conversation.

"But, they will make things difficult for you!" Mel blurted out.Mel has an impression of Lucius Malfoy, one of the school's 12 directors, especially the fact that he wants to drive Dumbledore from the headmaster's throne, and he also has a vague impression.

She liked Dumbledore and couldn't give Lucius the chance to humiliate him.

"I am very surprised by your performance today, Mel! You must know that a wizard of your age still thinks about being mischievous, making trouble, breaking into the Forbidden Forest, and playing with Hagrid's fangs every day!" Dumbledore said with an incredulous expression. Look at Mel.

Mel blushed, a little embarrassed to be caught cheating, and quickly changed the subject, "Professor, please let me compensate for this loss!" She was a little embarrassed, "After my mother passed away, she left me some property. Then, my father helped me invest in a company selling computer software in the United States. That company has developed very well and is No. 1 in their industry. So, I still have some money." Mel looked at Dumbledore, eyes full of prayers!

"Okay! Mel!" Dumbledore nodded, smiling softly, "Come, come and eat with me! If you don't leave, we will miss dinner!"

Mel and Dumbledore parted ways at the door of the auditorium, and walked behind Dumbledore into the auditorium.

She walked very slowly, feeling a little guilty.Sure enough, her arrival was like throwing a pebble into calm water.Silence spread like water waves.

After Mel walked to Hufflepuff's seat, he did it.There were sounds in the auditorium, first whispers, then normal voices, and then the auditorium returned to its usual noise.

"Hey!" Mel's heart that had just let go was startled by the voice again. The twin brothers patted Mel's shoulder and sat down beside Mel.Because there is no one around her, so it does not exist, there is no such thing as taking someone else's place.

"Mel, I heard that you performed wonderfully in Potions class!" George laughed.

"You have completely taken away our limelight, how distressed!" Fred complained to Mel pretending to be troubled.

"I really envy Hufflepuff!" George went on to say!

"Why?" Mel's heavy heart relaxed a bit, and asked George curiously.

"If you were playing Quidditch, with a 'moving bomb' like you around, Slytherin would definitely run away without a fight!" Fred answered her.

Mel didn't smile, but there were snickers and snickers all around.Look at more than one person eavesdropping on their conversation!

Mel rolled his eyes and faced Frey with a smile. "But, there is a question, Fred." Then he paused for a while, waiting for the twins to ask back.

Sure enough, the twins asked curiously, "What's the problem?"

"That is, it's not just Slytherin who are fighting us, what about Gryffindor and Ravenclaw?"

Looking at the frozen faces of the twins and hearing the gasps around her, Mel smiled brightly.

The notice came down soon, and Professor Flitwick, Professor McGonagall, and Professor Snape all received Dumbledore's decision to make Mel an auditor.They all said it didn't make sense.

Mel also received a notice from the Hogwarts Board of Directors, which has this to say:

Dear Ms. Maybelle-Dalton:

Mel read the notice three times and stuffed it in the back pocket of his robe.Go to the dorm and find her Gringotts key.

In a short while, she will go to Professor Sprout to apply to withdraw money from Gringotts in Diagon Alley.I remember that the fire in Hogwarts is connected to the fire in Diagon Alley. If you use the Floo network, you should be back soon.

As the saying goes, "Problems that can be solved with money are not problems." Mel kept using this sentence to comfort himself, but he couldn't help but roll his eyes violently in his heart. As long as he reads the notice in this chapter, Mel will never Will try any kind of magic in Hogwarts castle.

1283 Galleons, Mel's heart aches just thinking about it!

In fact, she was most worried about her father's reaction.If she didn't tell her father what happened at school, he would know about it from Bill. It seemed that she had to write a letter to Bill specifically for this matter.

The weather gradually became wet and cold. In a blink of an eye, Mel had been studying magic at Hogwarts for two months.

A magical life that cannot use magic is simply boring. Time is the greatest magician. Two months ago, Hogwarts students were afraid of Mel like the plague, and now they occasionally talk to her.In class, she has a unique no man's land phenomenon, which has been missing for a while.However, that was all, and she had no further contact with the people around her.

Her only friends are the twins and Hagrid.However, the twins are not in the same house as her. They only have Charms and History of Magic together, and they can't always play together.Patsy looked at her as if she was looking at something spoiled and dirty.Charlie is nice to her, but he's in Year 7 and busy with his NWLs exams and they don't see each other very often.But when they met, he often joked about her nickname 'Mobile Bomb' which had spread throughout the academy.

For the flying lesson two weeks after school started, Mel didn't have much expectations, but it was precisely it that gave her the biggest surprise. Although she wasn't the best at flying, the broomstick was firmly accepted by her. The control is in hand, and there is no sign of disobedience.

Glide freely in the sky, free like a bird.Mel couldn't help riding it around Hogwarts.My heart melted into the blue sky.It's a pity that the first grade is not allowed to have its own broom, otherwise Mel would want to ride it around every day.

Her favorite place in Hogwarts is the Forbidden Forest, which is now her paradise. In the Forbidden Forest, she can practice magic unscrupulously without fear of frightening anyone.Although her magic has not improved much.

I don't know if her notoriety of "mobile bomb" has spread to the Forbidden Forest. According to legend, there are countless dangerous magical creatures. It is very gloomy and terrifying Forbidden Forest, but Mel enters and exits like no one.She hadn't encountered any dangerous creatures until now.

She has never encountered any of the legendary centaur, spider, or unicorn.She lived happily in the Forbidden Forest.Even moved her potions and stuff to the Forbidden Forest.Every time she learned an interesting method of making potions from Snape, she would come to the Forbidden Forest to experiment.

Next, the residents of the Forbidden Forest arrived. Hagrid complained to her and the twins more than once that the creatures in the Forbidden Forest were no longer friendly to him. They seemed to have been frightened by something, but the centaurs didn't tell him, and Aragog also kept silent. Like the bottle, he often saw plants being destroyed in the Forbidden Forest, but he couldn't find the reason, it was really strange!

When he was full of confusion and complained to Mel and the others, he didn't notice that Mel behind him was covering his mouth and secretly laughing!Although she didn't understand why the creatures in the Forbidden Forest were so afraid of her!

Tomorrow is her birthday. On previous birthdays, Mr. Dalton, who usually acts low-key, will hold a grand ball for Mel. Not only all her relatives will be present, but also her father's friends, subordinates, and her classmates in school , even the children of the domestic servants will be invited.

My father heard a rumor from somewhere that the more popular the birthday party is, the longer the little birthday star will live.Fortunately, the paparazzi is not popular, otherwise Mel would be on the headlines of the "Sun" every year.

For this year's birthday, Mel and his father finally reached a consensus after repeated tug-of-war, that is, it would be good for Mel to only receive gifts from him this year.

Although, Mr. Dalton was extremely unhappy, but because he couldn't help it, he had no choice but to agree with Mel's opinion!

However, the twins said they would give Mel a surprise, which is very exciting!

Lying in the warm quilt, Mel shrank back comfortably and checked the three alarm clocks on the small table next to her.

Fell into a good sleep!

Tomorrow will be a fine weather!
