After experiencing something exciting and thrilling together, it is always easy to establish some kind of indescribable trust and intimacy between people.

Harry, Ron and Hermione became an inseparable trio, and Hermione became likable after having friends.Of course, Rong Jiu has also become their close partner. Although due to the differences in the colleges, they can't be together all the time, but there are any activities or secrets, the trio will always share with her - such as a party at Hagrid's place, For example, Harry became Gryffindor's Seeker.

At the same time when the Gryffindor trio was established, the relationship between the Slytherin trio also became closer—that day, when Rong Jiu returned to the Slytherin lounge, he saw the two people who were incompatible in joy —a sullen Draco and an anxious Pansy.

When she appeared at the door of the lounge, the two almost bounced off the sofa.

Between a series of questions, pumpkin juice, pies, chicken legs were handed over...

That day, Rong Jiu gave each of them a big hug.

However, Draco was even more displeased with Harry, and even Rong Jiu was scolded. His core idea was about the glory and inviolability of pure blood.

"Because of a little Mudblood like Granger, you actually put yourself in danger?" Draco almost yelled while holding Rong Jiu's ear.

"Uh... What's a Mudblood?"

"It's the kind of people who don't have wizard blood." Pan Xi's face was full of disdain, "Their parents are not wizards, just like uneducated country bumpkins who came to the city, no sense of honor, no basic etiquette, everything What a fuss..."

"I think Hermione is actually quite cute..." Rong Jiu tried to say a few words for Hermione.To be honest, she has a good impression of Hermione, she is smart, strong, and excellent, although she is a bit pompous and not calm.

Draco turned his head and stuffed a pie into Rong Jiu's hand, with such force that he almost pushed Rong Jiu down.

"Listen," he said almost through gritted teeth, "we are pure-blood wizards, and blood is above everything else, above everything about this man!"

"You belong to Slytherin."

Rong Jiu held the pie in a daze for a long time, and then smiled at the two of them: "I see, thank you."

——————————————————————————————————————

At eight o'clock in the evening the next day, Rong Jiu showed up at the door of Professor Snape's office on time.

Professor Snape slumped lazily behind his desk with a thick stack of parchment in front of him.Seeing Rong Jiu appear, he sneered: "Oh, who is this? A Slytherin warrior!"

"... Good evening, professor." Two months was enough for Rong Jiu to regard the professor's sarcastic remarks as a daily greeting.

Professor Snape drew an O at random: "The last paper on dried nettles and nettles was better than the previous nonsense. At least it can be seen that Miss Rong still has a little IQ to cope with family problems. homework."

"Thank you, Professor." Rong Jiu responded with a smile, and all kinds of unbearable images of the previous after-class tutoring quickly appeared in his mind, so he added, "It's all because of the professor's teaching."

Snape raised his eyes and glanced at her: "It seems that Miss Rong still has some Slytherin qualities, smart, tactful, and sensible."

Before Rong Jiu could say anything, Snape had already spoken again: "A piece of parchment, a description of the cause and effect of Miss Rong's heroic actions yesterday; a piece of parchment, about Miss Rong's knowledge of the water of life and death. By this time next week , to my office."

"Eh?"

Snape didn't look up again: "Professor Dumbledore is looking for you. The password is piled up with cockroaches."

"Don't need to change the time?"

Professor Snape's hand for correcting the thesis paused: "Of course, if you want."

Rong Jiu: "...No, thank you professor, goodbye, professor."

For a road idiot, finding the way in Hogwarts is definitely not a friendly errand. Fortunately, Rong Jiu met a fat monk from Hufflepuff. This old ghost who has lived in Hogwarts for more than a hundred years joked Said: "You look more like a Hufflepuff!" While taking Rong Jiu to the principal's office, he didn't forget to make up the knife before leaving, "Oh dear, are you sure you remember that you came to find Dumbledore Lido? Could it be that you have misremembered—oh well,” Seeing Rong Jiu puffing up his cheeks and staring at him depressedly, the fat monk drifted away with a smile, “May you remember the password, dear child!”

Rong Jiu roared angrily at the huge stone monster statue in front of him: "Pile of cockroaches!"

Remember what's so great about the road?ah!

Through the automatic spiral staircase behind the monster, at the top is a shiny oak door with a brass knocker in the shape of a griffin.It looks like a Chinese mansion door, you need to pull the knocker to knock on the door.

Rong Jiu put his hand on the door knocker hesitantly, before he could feel the icy temperature above, the door suddenly opened slowly, and a spacious and beautiful circular room appeared in front of Rong Jiu.

The walls are covered with portraits of the former male and female principals, all snoring softly in their respective photo frames; a huge bookshelf is embedded in the wall behind, and all kinds of books are neatly placed in it, from the most The ground floor is full to the ceiling; in the center is a huge table with claw-shaped legs, and it is filled with all kinds of strange silverware; of course, the most eye-catching thing is the old man behind the table, He is tall and thin, almost covered in a silver beard. At this moment, with his hands behind his back and his head slightly lowered, he is looking at her from above the half-crescent lens. His eyes are so sharp that it is almost forgettable. This is a woman over 100 years old. elder.

"Good evening, Mr. Principal." Rong Jiu said.

"Good evening, dear child." Dumbledore's voice was a little hoarse, even a little vague, completely different from the spirit at the opening ceremony that day, just like an ordinary old man.Rong Jiu even had some protective desires, wanting to protect the skinny old man, helping him to sit down, and serving him a cup of fragrant tea.In China, at the age of Headmaster Dumbledore, they are already called Renrui, and they are well protected at home, but they themselves seem not very happy...

Maybe she didn't notice it herself, but her eyes were filled with sympathy and worry, and they drifted towards Professor Dumbledore endlessly.

"Age is just a statement of a person's experience, not everything about him." Professor Dumbledore smiled slightly, pulling Rong Jiu out of his memories.Obviously, he sensed Rong Jiu's emotions.

Rong Jiu blushed: "I'm sorry sir. I'm not..."

"I understand." Dumbledore gently relieved her.

Rong Jiu's impression of Dumbledore went up several steps in an instant.

"At such a moment, having a cup of hot drink seems to be a good choice." Dumbledore said, "Ah, girl from the East...how about tea?"

Following Dumbledore's words, two cups of hot tea appeared on a small table in the corner of the office, and there were two extremely comfortable soft chairs beside it.He came out from behind the desk: "Sit down, Jiu."

Rong Jiu followed Dumbledore and sat beside him.

She picked up the porcelain cup and took a sip. As she expected, it was black tea, but no milk cubes were added.She gently put down the teacup: "Thank you, Professor."

Dumbledore narrowed his eyes and smiled comfortably: "It seems that I made the right choice. I like the scent of green tea very much. It's a bit bitter, but it's clean and far away. It's like your hometown, the mysterious East."

Rong Jiu raised his head.

Dumbledore's ice blue eyes reflected her, sitting there quietly, as if he had no emotion at all.Introverted, calm, and quiet, he seemed to see a child decades ago, who was also calm like this, but even more gloomy...

"Your dean, Professor Severus Snape, told me that you have magical abilities different from ours," Dumbledore said.

Rong Jiu tears.Yeah!Didn't I just used to be a Taoist priest?So Professor Snape has been torturing me for two months!

Dumbledore found that the well-behaved and quiet shell of the child in front of him seemed to have disappeared, and a little girl with a bit of aggrieved expression appeared: "Yeah, I can't treat them correctly, so Professor Snape tutored me alone." Two months..." She cleared her throat, suppressing other emotions, and then found the old man in front of her smiling kindly: "Ah, Severus, a bit too strict, but serious dean."

Rong Jiu's face turned red: "Mr. Dumbledore, I don't have any dissatisfaction with Professor Snape!"

Dumbledore blinked.

Rong Jiu: "..."

"Hey, I wonder if I'll be lucky enough to get advice from the principal?" Rong Jiu quickly changed the subject, her expression became so swift, as if the purpose of her coming to the office was to ask the principal for advice.While Dumbledore was amused, he was slightly relieved.Although he is calm, he has sunshine in his heart, not like that person...

With the permission of Professor Dumbledore, Rong Jiu used the fireball technique again, igniting a stack of newspapers that suddenly appeared by the teacup.

Dumbledore looked at the burning flame thoughtfully, and fell into deep thought, so that Rong Jiu had to draw water again to extinguish it, lest the fire be out of control—although she doubted that even if she burned The whole office, the headmaster also has a way to restore them.

"A magical technique...a magical ability." Dumbledore came back to his senses, "Can you use magic and Taoism at the same time?"

Rong Jiu was a little surprised: "Can they be used at the same time?"

Dumbledore said: "Ah, this is just a conjecture of mine."

Next, Dumbledore asked her a lot about Taoism, and agreed to ask Rong Jiu to bring her cinnabar or something to perform the ghost exorcism next time. Rong Jiu maliciously proposed to use the fat monk as an experiment The subject, of course, was not rejected.

So when Rong Jiu returned to the dormitory, she had an unprecedented impression of Dumbledore—until the next time she went to Professor Snape, she had a little more after-class tutoring task: using Taoism and Dumbledore at the same time. magic.

Rong Jiu silently withdrew her praise for Professor Dumbledore.
