Chapter 84 Dumbledore’s Wool Socks
Professor McGonagall sent Kyle to the gargoyle on the eighth floor and left. Before leaving, she even helped give the password.
"Lemon Olaf."
…
The principal's office was still the same, with Fox still hanging on the shelf. When he saw Kyle, he just raised his head slightly, even as he said hello.
Kyle took out a handful of fresh white leaves as a greeting gift and placed them next to the shelf.
Dumbledore didn't disappear this time. He just sat there with a smile. There was a familiar bottle on the table in front of him.
"I hope I didn't disturb you." Dumbledore stood up from his chair and handed the demon-suppressing potion on the table to Kyle: "You know, it's just like last time."
"Of course Principal." Kyle nodded, took the bottle and said, "I'm going to give it to Mikel right now."
"Well... don't worry about this. If you have nothing to do, can you chat with me, an old man?"
Seeing that Kyle didn't speak, Dumbledore continued: "Don't be nervous, just chat casually, just like when you were at Newt's place."
"I'm just a little surprised." Kyle scratched his hair and said, "But principal, um... I only have white fresh leaves now, and there are really no bluebells left."
"..."
"Fox has a good personality and won't be angry all the time." Dumbledore's expression stiffened slightly, but it quickly returned to normal.
"I got your Christmas gift," he said, ordering Kyle a glass of fresh lemonade. "I finished it that same day and re-read it many times... It's really fascinating."
At first, Kyle thought Dumbledore was just being polite, but the next second he realized that he was wrong.
Because Dumbledore actually took out two pairs of woolen socks from the desk drawer.
One pair is red with gold rim.
The other pair is slightly smaller and is blue and pink.
But both pairs of socks have a big letter "A" embroidered on them.
Kyle raised his head and asked subconsciously: "Is this...did you knit it?"
"Yes." Dumbledore said proudly: "I have a pretty good talent for knitting socks, and I succeeded on the first try."
Kyle opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
What's wrong with this magical world?
Dumbledore, the president of the International Federation of Wizards, a first-level wizard of the Order of Merlin, chief of the Wizengamot, and recognized as the strongest white wizard in the wizarding world... is actually proud of his talent for knitting socks?
Looking at his happy look, he seems to be a little proud.
"You knit well, Headmaster," Kyle said dryly.
"Thanks."
Dumbledore put away the two pairs of woolen socks and suddenly sighed: "Probably my biggest regret this year is that I didn't prepare a Christmas gift for you. This is really too bad."
Kyle waved his hands repeatedly.
He didn't expect to receive a gift from Dumbledore.
But then again, as a standard good student, Kyle didn't want Dumbledore to feel guilty all the time.
He felt heartbroken to see an old man still tormented by guilt.
"How about you ask for a gift yourself?" Kyle touched his chin and thought to himself.
Although it was quite shameless to do so, it didn't matter if he suffered a little injustice for the sake of the principal.
Kyle subconsciously moved his eyes to the corner of the principal's office. There was a mirror there that was dusty. It probably wasn't worth much, so just choose it.
Or the crudely made stone basin next to it would also work.
new
It's just for show anyway, so it's perfect to choose a stall like this where you can buy ten bargains for one item.
"That's so sweet of me."
Kyle didn't hide his actions.
Next to him, Dumbledore seemed to have guessed something, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
At this time, Kyle just turned his head and said, "Principal, you can send..."
"Would you like a glass of lemonade? Of course, no problem."
Dumbledore knocked on the table and ordered another glass of lemonade.
"No, I mean today..."
"The weather is really nice today."
nice weather?
Kyle glanced out the window. It had been snowing all day and it hadn't stopped yet.
However, Dumbledore did not give Kyle another chance to speak. He also looked out the window and said with some emotion: "I didn't even notice. Is it already so late?"
Kyle understood instantly.
Although he was a little regretful that he could not help Dumbledore solve his troubles, Kyle still said consciously:
"Then I'll go back first, Mikel is still waiting to drink medicine."
"Do you need to bring some snacks back?" Dumbledore opened a drawer, which was full of various candies and preserves.
Kyle originally wanted to refuse, but he suddenly noticed that the candies seemed to be high-end goods, and there were many types that he had never even seen before.
"Thank you on Mikel's behalf."
By the time Kyle left the principal's office, his pockets were bulging with candy.
With the oak door closed.
In the principal's office, Snape walked out of nowhere. He looked at Kyle's previous position and narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.
"I'm a little curious, Severus."
Dumbledore closed the drawer and hung a small, shiny lock on it.
"You specifically asked me to call Kyle here, why did you hide yourself?"
"You let him leave too soon."
Snape said expressionlessly: "As we agreed before, he should stay here for thirty minutes."
"The students all have their own things to do." Dumbledore took a sip of black tea and said, "Severus, we can't take up too much of their time."
"Oh? So that's what you think..." Snape glanced at the Mirror of Erised in the corner and then walked towards the door.
"Severus."
At this time, Dumbledore suddenly stopped him: "I think you are too prejudiced against Kyle."
Snape stopped, turned around and asked, "What do you want to say?"
"Kyle is a very good child." Dumbledore said calmly: "I learned that he gave gifts to every professor on Christmas Day, even Mrs. Norris, who was the least popular among the students. I received a package of dried fish.”
"Oh~~" Snape narrowed his eyes and asked again in a long tone: "What do you want to say!"
"I think he may have forgotten his Potions Master in a moment of negligence."
Dumbledore smiled and said: "You know, even I make such low-level mistakes occasionally. This is normal. You can't be prejudiced against Kyle because of this."
"Maybe he hasn't forgotten."
Snape snorted coldly, then opened the door and left the principal's office without looking back.
