Chapter 73 This invitation came unexpectedly

"Headmaster." Snape asked calmly, "Isn't it a good thing for students to be outstanding?"

"Of course it's a good thing." Dumbledore said without thinking, "I am the principal, and I have always dreamed that the quality of students at Hogwarts would be better.

But your student is a bit too mature, Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, Professor Sprout, and you, Professor Severus Snape.

hehe! To be honest, I'm not surprised that he proposed such a luxurious lineup, and I even take it for granted.

After all, asking for high prices and paying them back on the spot is all about bargaining. As long as the psychological expectations of both parties can be met, it is a win-win situation.

But he also specifically proposed not to notify everyone, which is a bit intriguing. "

"Isn't this quite normal?" Hagrid touched his beer belly and laughed, "Obviously, he doesn't want to trouble other people."

"Perhaps." Dumbledore touched his white beard, a wise light flashed in his eyes, and continued: "But it is also possible that he is guarding against something.

What do you say, Severus? "

Snape pondered for a while, his expression gradually became serious, "You mean he knows..."

"Not necessarily, but he has seen the man in black robe with his own eyes and seen him sucking the blood of unicorns to maintain his life.

With his intelligence, it was inevitable that he would not guess something. For example, how did the man in black robes lurk in Hogwarts?

What is the purpose of entering Hogwarts?

Is there anyone else in the school colluding with him, etc. "

"No way!

Aaron..." Hagrid paused and continued, "He is only a first-year wizard, how could he think so much. "

"Hahaha! Hagrid, you can't deny that there are indeed a handful of geniuses in the world.

They are different, stand out, think better than others, and have a unique vision.

One thing is certain now. Apart from you, me, and the deans of the four colleges, all other faculty and staff are on his suspicion list. Dumbledore chuckled and shook his head, "I guess he is very proud of the successful transaction just now!"

But this small trick was not hidden from my eyes. Using the power of two professors to temporarily eliminate another way for Voldemort to be resurrected was a huge profit. "

The corner of Snape's mouth twitched, and he finally understood why Aaron was so calm when he left just now.

This is a confrontation between the old fox and the little fox. Neither of them is a fuel-efficient lamp.

"Severus," Dumbledore said suddenly, "You must guide this student well and not let him follow that person's path, otherwise it will be another disaster."

Hearing this, Snape's expression suddenly turned ferocious, "Do you want me to spy on him?"

Dumbledore noticed this change in expression and sighed, "It's not about monitoring, it's about paying as much attention as possible.

I once neglected to educate a student, which resulted in a series of tragedies that later made me regret it for the rest of my life.

If possible I hope..."

"That's enough, Professor Dumbledore." Snape interrupted him angrily, "Aaron Gaius is my student. His future path will be chosen by him. I will not deliberately guide him.

Besides, I'm not you, and he's not Voldemort. "

"Calm down, calm down, Snape.

That's not what I meant, don't get me wrong. "

"Phew!" Snape suppressed the anger in his heart, "I lost my temper, Headmaster.

If there is nothing else, I will leave first and say goodbye. "

After Snape left, Hagrid said, "I have never seen Snape look so angry. What did you want to say just now?"

"It's nothing." Dumbledore shrugged, "I just hope that Aaron can transfer to Gryffindor House, but it seems that it may be difficult."

...

Slytherin common room.

Aaron was lying on the bed in the dormitory, stroking the cute holy dragon while paying attention to his personal panel.

[Host: Aaron Gaius]

[Magic power: 1126 (senior magician, barely able to stand alone, but still insignificant)]

[Talent: rare in a century (can be improved, magic power increases by 2 points every day)]

[Items: Moon Drops, Blessing Potion, Invisibility Potion]

[Magic points: 778 (check in at Hogwarts, increase by 10 points per day)]

"It's gone as expected!"

Aaron saw the resurrection potion that had disappeared from the item column. Although he was prepared, he still felt empty in his heart, as if he had lost a particularly important sense of security.

Then he opened Abe's properties panel.

[Pet: Abe]

[Race: Dragon (Saint: Unawakened)]

[Magic energy: 496 (increases a little every day, although the potential is endless, but now it is extremely weak.)]

[Innate ability: flying,? ? ? 】

There are still four days left before the Holy Dragon's first evolution, which is the only thing he is looking forward to at the moment.

Although Abe still needs a stage of 'investment' to awaken other innate skills, his size will definitely grow.

It doesn't have to be just ten or twenty meters like other dragons. It should at least grow to the stage of a centaur. This is the first step in evolving from a pet to a war pet.

"System, can you tell me how big Abe will be in the next stage?" Aaron asked with some anxiety.

"one meter."

Click! Click!

Aaron blinked and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

"What's the point of being one meter tall? You're not even taller than me!"

I thought it would be able to carry me flying after this time, but I was still too naive. "

“The host can’t think like that.

It takes time for the holy dragon to evolve. "

"Time? Is it capital?" Aaron said disdainfully, "With the growth rate of my magic points, it seems that I am still far away from feeding it into a giant dragon!"

"But the reward is worth it." The system said seriously, "Although the size of the holy dragon has not increased much, its strength, speed, defense, vitality, flight speed and other attributes will be improved to a certain extent.

Moreover...it is not impossible for the host to experience the feeling of flying. "

"Oh?" Aaron suddenly felt no longer sleepy. Could it be that things could turn around?

"It can't carry you, but it can still carry you."

Hearing this, a picture emerged in Aaron's mind.

He floats high in the sky, with a pair of white sacred wings behind him, overlooking all living beings like an angel.

But when he turned around, there was a cute and cute creature hanging behind him. It reluctantly turned its head away, and its strength instantly plummeted, becoming particularly funny.

"Hey! Let's forget it." Aaron shuddered, "Unless it's to save my life, I will never play like this in the future."

"By the way, will there be any strange phenomena when it evolves?

I remember it was still very magical when it was born. "

"No!" The system poured cold water on him, "Birth and growth are two different things.

Birth is the birth of a new life, but growth is natural. It's just that you, the host, can speed up the process, but please don't overthink it. "

"Is this so?" Aaron was a little disappointed. He originally planned to let Abe complete his evolution in the Forbidden Forest, but now it seems that this step has been omitted.

But this is not a bad thing. To go to the Forbidden Forest, you have to pass Hagrid's level first.

He had offended himself severely in the past two days, and those with a guilty conscience would probably agree to this request.

But with this giant's character, once Abe finishes evolving, he might not be able to resist going to the principal's office to report.

By then, who knows if Dumbledore will want to keep Abe for a while.

But if you avoid Hagrid and sneak into the Forbidden Forest, the danger will skyrocket.

The magical animals and dark creatures in the Forbidden Forest will give Hagrid face, but they will not give face to others.

With his small body, he can still protect himself on the outside, but once he goes deep, if he enters the lair of some magical animal, he may not be able to escape unscathed.

...

the next day.

Aaron sat up from the bed, stretched, and felt energetic.

Although there were a lot of troubles these days, he knew that it was all over.

The dangerous confinement, the blood-drinking Voldemort, the unfathomable Dumbledore, and the overfed Rubeus Hagrid will no longer bother him. He just needs to study in class honestly.

At least he could still develop for a while before Voldemort stole the Philosopher's Stone.

However, things were not as beautiful as he thought. A lesson told him that he was wrong, and that he was wrong a little bit.

Defense Against the Dark Arts class is taught by Professor Quirrell.

Aaron considers himself a good student, but he didn't listen to a word of this class.

Professor Quirrell, the object possessed by Voldemort, would look at him every few minutes, with a particularly pale smile on his face, which made him particularly flustered.

However, in order to avoid exposing his flaws, which would lead to Quirrell breaking the rules, or even killing someone, he had to pretend to be paying attention to the lectures. From time to time, he would smile kindly back to the teacher who had been paying attention to him, and his facial expression was a little stiff.

After class, Aaron breathed a sigh of relief, picked up Abe and prepared to leave.

"Wait, wait, wait." Quirrell stammered, "Mr. Gaius, can you wait a moment?

I have something I want to talk to you about, so go to my office. "

Aaron: ...
