Chapter 71 Will Hogwarts ensure the safety of students?

Aaron looked at the kind-hearted Dumbledore, gently stroked Abe's faucet, then sat upright, chuckled and said: "I refuse.

Headmaster, Professor Dumbledore, what you said is too exaggerated.

That man in black robe had no idea I had such a treasure, otherwise he wouldn't have run away last night.

In other words, as long as those of you in the know keep it secret, I'm safe. "

Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect the other party to refuse so simply and without any hesitation.

Hagrid stood aside expressionlessly. He hoped that Aaron would hand over the resurrection potion to Dumbledore for safekeeping. In his opinion, this was the most correct decision.

But he offended Aaron one after another, and if he spoke at this time, it might have the opposite effect.

"Aaron." Snape said while suppressing a smile, "You'd better consider the Headmaster's suggestion carefully. It won't do you any harm."

“But it doesn’t do any good, does it?

Leave a life-saving heirloom to someone else for safekeeping? Aaron joked, "Professor, how much water did I have in my mind to make such a ridiculous decision?"

Also, to put it bluntly.

I have been hurt several times these days, and I no longer dare to trust others casually. "

When Snape heard this, he felt speechless.

They were there just in case, to prevent Voldemort from finding another way to get a chance to be resurrected.

But asking Aaron to hand over his family heirloom was more or less disrespectful to him.

Moreover, the value of the potion was too great, and he and Dumbledore were not familiar with each other. There was no basis for trust between the two parties. This was no different than trusting a stranger with his life and property.

"I understand your concerns." Dumbledore said meaningfully, "But I still hope you can keep your things."

Aaron frowned, "Principal, did I explain it not clearly enough?"

"No, you explained it clearly.

But there is a contingency in everything, just in case that man in black robe comes to find you..."

"Then someone leaked the secret." Aaron interjected, giving Hagrid a meaningful look.

The giant immediately took a step back, for no other reason than a guilty conscience.

Dumbledore was a little dumbfounded, but he didn't expect this little wizard to be quite cautious.

"I'll warn good Hagrid.

If you are worried, I can set up a special spell for him later to ensure that he will not tell everything about you. "

"Thank you principal, really, thank you very much.

This is the best news I have heard in the past two days. It’s not that I don’t believe Hagrid, but his ability to keep secrets is really not that bad.

Maybe after a few glasses of wine, someone will tell you everything. "

"Aaron, I'm really sorry for what happened in the past two days." Hagrid stood up and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile, "But, I am actually very reliable."

"Haha! Everyone can say nice things.

But actually... who knows! "

Hagrid lowered his head silently, feeling a mixture of emotions in his heart, including frustration, grievance, and anger. It was particularly sour, but he really couldn't think of anything to refute.

First, Harry and the others stole Aaron's Abe, causing them to be put into solitary confinement. They did not listen to his advice during the solitary confinement, which almost put the three students in danger. In addition, the front foot left the forbidden forest, and the back foot Just tell Dumbledore.

It is estimated that his moral integrity has been shattered by Aaron.

"Ahem!"

Dumbledore made a few centenarian coughs, successfully attracting the attention of several people. He was worried that if Aaron continued to tell the truth, Hagrid's glass heart would be broken.

“Let’s talk about business first!

Gaius, don't think that I am making things difficult for you. In fact, your situation may not be that safe.

You may have walked into the sight of the man in black robe. "

"Oh?" Aaron smiled meaningfully, "From what the principal said, you seem to know this man in black robe very well!"

Dumbledore pondered for a moment, "It's just a guess, but I don't rule out the possibility of this guess.

Your safety is really..."

“That’s the school’s business.

In fact, last summer, before I officially started school, my father suggested that I go to Durmstrang, saying that I would be better cared for there.

But, I chose Hogwarts.

For no other reason than that I like this school, its history, and its teaching atmosphere.

The most important thing is that this school has the most powerful white wizard in the wizarding world, Albus Dumbledore. His honors and legends are countless. "Aaron said solemnly, with a very pious expression. He even wanted to write the words 'Dumbledore is my idol' on his face, but in fact only he knew that some of the words were true.

"So, Professor, Hogwarts will ensure the safety of students, right?"

After hearing this, Dumbledore was stunned and felt his heart twitch for the first time in a long time.

The last time he felt like this was decades ago.

How should he answer this question? This twelve-year-old little wizard is a little too damaged!

The answer is affirmative, yes, Hogwarts will ensure the safety of students, so he will be embarrassed to ask for the potion in Aaron's hand.

No answer... that's impossible, Hogwarts' reputation will plummet.

Unless it is an established fact, he, as the principal, has to protect the school's face.

Moreover, this is the principal's office, and portraits of past principals are here. If he dares to give a negative answer, these people will definitely scold him for a long time.

It was an uncomfortable feeling, and it had a great impact on the mood of a centenarian.

If it was a year ago, he could have patted his chest and promised Aaron, but that was not possible at this stage. There was an extra Dark Lord in the school!

Dumbledore did not answer immediately, but winked at Snape, hoping that he could help smooth things over.

But he was surprised to find that Snape's face kept twitching and he didn't notice his hint at all.

As for Hagrid, he didn't think about it at all.

If Aaron was just pretending and using half-truths to keep him from getting off the stage, then Hagrid showed his true feelings and regarded Aaron as his confidant.

In Hagrid's heart, Hogwarts is the best school, and Dumbledore is the most trustworthy person.

"Of course Hogwarts can guarantee the safety of students." Dumbledore said seriously. No matter what, he had to protect the reputation of the school first.

"It's time to say yes." Aaron thought to himself.

"But..." Dumbledore paused for a moment, then smiled self-deprecatingly, "Aaron, I'm not afraid of your jokes, even I can only defeat the enemy on the surface.

Hogwarts is such a big place. It is impossible for me to take care of everyone and cover everything. This is inevitable.

There is nothing I can do about the man in black robe hiding in the dark unless he takes the initiative to reveal himself.

But I can guarantee that among all the magic schools, Hogwarts is definitely the best one, and the protection of students comes first. "

Aaron: ...

Good guy, really good guy.

He gave this answer full marks.

Not only did he ensure the school's face, but he also gave himself a sufficient level of advancement. This humble and calm gesture was enough to prove that his more than 100 years of life had not been in vain.

"Aaron Gaius, I still hope you can leave the resurrection potion to me for safekeeping, and I will return it to you intact during the holiday.

I apologize in advance if this bothers you.

But I do have a reason for having to do this, and I hope you can forgive me.

If the man in black robes gets that bottle of potion, it will bring a huge crisis to Hogwarts and even the entire magical world. "

Aaron was silent for a while, let out a long sigh, and took out the emerald green potion.

"Professor, thank you for not lying to me.

If your answer just now does not satisfy me, I will not take this thing out under any circumstances. "

Dumbledore smiled and nodded, then turned his attention to the bottle of resurrection potion. He was surprised at first, and then thankful.

His experience was extraordinary, and coupled with Hagrid and Snape's explanations, he naturally saw the incredible healing effect of this bottle of potion.

It was so thrilling. Fortunately, Hagrid arrived in time last night. Otherwise, if the Dark Lord got his hands on this thing, he wouldn't have to play with it.

This is much easier to use than the magic stone, and it directly eliminates the complicated steps of refining the elixir.

In one step, you will be resurrected with full health!

"Thank you for your trust, Aaron."

"But I have a small condition." Aaron said, "I believe you can see the value of this bottle of potion. It is used to save lives at critical moments.

But if I hand it over to you, my life will undoubtedly lose an insurance policy. "

"What do you want to say?" Dumbledore said playfully, "As long as I can do it, I won't refuse."

"Hey! I'm serious, I'm serious." Aaron put the resurrection potion on the desk, "My condition is very simple, that is, before the holidays, the school pays more attention to my safety.

If necessary, you can order the professor once, otherwise you will not feel safe! "

"This..." Dumbledore looked at the resurrection potion on the table that was worth no less than the Philosopher's Stone, and without much hesitation, "Okay, I promise you."
