It's actually an invisibility cloak.
"This shouldn't be the kind of invisibility cloak made with the Disguise Curse, right?"
Glenn raised his head and asked, pretending to be completely unaware.
"Of course." Dumbledore replied, "This was lent to me by an old friend and it helped me a lot. Unfortunately, there is no chance to return it to him."
Seeing Glenn looking at him doubtfully, Dumbledore explained again.
"James Potter, Harry's father, preferred to be called Mr. Prongs."
He showed a slight look of regret.
"Mr. Potter..." Glenn said regretfully.
Dumbledore wiped his eyes and quickly regained his calm expression.
Glenn gently held up a corner of the cloak and felt the soft fabric. The part covered by the invisibility cloak completely disappeared, and no flaw could be seen.

reward:
[Current custom reward: Wind Step] [Reward completion: 20%] [Currently accumulated: 100/100%]
Reach 100% completion and obtain the skill [Wind Step].
Sure enough, the milestone is so simple and crude. As long as you get it, you can get the reward of the milestone regardless of whether you have become the real owner or not.
Before Glenn could check the skills he had just acquired, he heard Dumbledore speak again.
"I plan to give this invisibility cloak to you for the time being." He looked directly at Glenn and said softly.
"Ah this..."
This is somewhat unexpected.
Glenn let go of his hand, and the invisibility cloak slipped onto the table again without making any sound.
"I think... it would be better if you just hand it over to Harry himself."
he asked after hesitating.
Dumbledore gave him a meaningful look, but said nothing.
Glenn's heart tightened.
"This old fox, isn't he still testing me..."
"Okay," Dumbledore said again, "Now that we've finished talking about this, it's time to talk about little Harry."
"You said it." Glenn nodded.
"As far as I know, Harry's childhood life was not a happy one..." Dumbledore said slowly.
"I heard him talk about it on the train," Glenn said.
Dumbledore didn't seem surprised to hear that he had already had contact with Harry.
"Coupled with some traits inherited from Mr. Prongs, his character doesn't seem to be particularly perfect."
He said to the point, obviously knowing all about Harry's growth.
Glenn frowned slightly, as if he had guessed what he was going to say next.
"Under such circumstances, I think it is necessary for little Harry to get some help in his growth..."
"You mean, do you want me to be his nanny?"
Glenn pinched his eyebrows and said with some dissatisfaction.
This time it was not that he was pretending to be emotional, but that he was actually a little dissatisfied with Dumbledore's arrangements.
As a well-deserved protagonist, Harry Potter indeed has a strong personal charm.
But that doesn't cover up his character problems.
The savior's flaws are almost as obvious as his strengths.
Overly emotional, self-centered, and habitually ignore the feelings of people around you.
Being a nanny for such a person is undoubtedly the most thankless thing.
But it wasn't this request that really made Glenn dissatisfied.
It's Dumbledore's attitude.
At this point, it seems that the invisibility cloak no longer looks like a tool for testing, but has become a kind of bargaining chip.
This means that after a whole year of getting along with him, the old fox still regards him as a tool.
A tool used to protect the Savior Star.
"It's not what you think, Glenn." Dumbledore shook his head. "I'm not asking you to help him out."
He thought about it and reorganized his words.
"I just hope that you can provide some good guidance in his growth process, like an older brother."
Glenn's brows relaxed, as if he understood his intention.
"I have a small guess about Harry..." Dumbledore continued.
"What guess?"
"I'm not sure yet." He said slowly, "I only know that he will play a very important role."
Glenn suddenly realized that Dumbledore seemed to have guessed the possibility of Harry becoming a Horcrux from the beginning.
In this way, this request becomes much more reasonable.
Once Harry goes astray and even joins the Dark Lord's camp, it will undoubtedly become more difficult to completely eliminate Voldemort.
So guiding and shaping Harry is a very important thing.
Of course, if he turns black, it's not impossible to bury him together, but it's just a lot more troublesome than the normal route.
"If I have any definite information, I'll let you know."
"it is good."
Glenn nodded slightly, agreeing.
"Then the next question is about Professor Quirrell."
Dumbledore showed a relieved smile and continued.
"I'm curious as to what possible problems you can surmise about him."
"It's just some uncertain feelings."
Glenn feigned hesitation.
"Although Professor Quirrell's state is very natural, I always feel that his submissive image seems to be a little inconsistent."
Dumbledore's eyes lit up.
"So, do you think Professor Quirrell's current image is disguised?"
"That's probably the feeling." Glenn nodded slowly, "His cowardice seems a little too deliberate."
"That makes sense." Dumbledore looked at him with a smile and motioned for him to continue.
"I was afraid that my impression was wrong, so I made a point of asking my senior classmates about Professor Quirrell's past image."
Glenn thought for a moment and added.
"Based on their description, I think he should be a person who has a somewhat low self-esteem but always tries to prove himself. Compared with his current image, the difference is too big."
Dumbledore continued to remain silent, looking at him with encouraging eyes.
"If my dream is a prophecy, I have a guess." Glenn raised his head and glanced at Dumbledore, "Can I ask you a question first?"
"Of course" Dumbledore said without hesitation.
Glenn pondered for a moment and then said, "That person...you know who I'm talking about...did he completely disappear?"
"If you are talking about Voldemort, I can responsibly tell you that he must still be alive, but in a form that is unimaginable to us."
"If that's the case, I think I probably understand..."
Glenn looked astonished, and Dumbledore looked at him with interest.
"Tell me?"
"Professor Quirrell...could he have become a Death Eater?"
"This shouldn't be the kind of invisibility cloak made with the Disguise Curse, right?"
Glenn raised his head and asked, pretending to be completely unaware.
"Of course." Dumbledore replied, "This was lent to me by an old friend and it helped me a lot. Unfortunately, there is no chance to return it to him."
