"Aaron, is it a dragon?" Hagrid asked expectantly.
Although in some respects Abe has nothing to do with dragons, but he has raised so many magical animals and has a certain intuition in this regard.
Aaron hesitated for a while, then reluctantly nodded.
"A dragon, a special dragon.
It's not a mutation, but it's not a hybrid.
If I have to say it, my family's Abe is the only one among the dragons, and also the most noble existence. "
After the words fell, four pairs of eyes full of curiosity and surprise fell on Abe, which made Aaron feel a little unhappy, and subconsciously hugged the pet in his arms tightly.
"Don't be nervous, Aaron." Dumbledore laughed, "We won't do anything to it, after all, it performed really well last night, and even played a decisive role.
If it weren't for it, the two professors Snape and McGonagall might have suffered more than just minor injuries.
Hogwarts can't lose two professors, let alone two deans, so...it has a lot of credit. "
"Thank you for the compliment."
"But the merits and demerits are clear." Dumbledore changed the subject, "We must admit that you defended Hogwarts and even prevented a possible catastrophe.
But it's a fact that you brought a magical animal to this magic school, so you'll have to accept some punishment.
I had a good idea, with credit and fault.
If the merits and demerits are balanced, you can raise it, but it cannot appear in school from next semester, what do you think? "
Aaron frowned, always feeling that the words 'equal merits and demerits' were full of deep meaning.
"Professor, may I ask, how is my credit calculated?"
Dumbledore crossed his fingers and put his hands on the desk, making a serious look.
"The credit is the score of the college. Harry, Hermione, and Ron, the three Gryffindors performed well last night, and I will give them some encouragement.
Of course you are, too, and your rewards will be greater because you deserve it. "
"Oh!"
Aaron suddenly realized that the only thing that could be related to the score was the Academy Cup.
Gryffindor is No.2 from the bottom, slightly higher than Hufflepuff, and Slytherin's championship is already a certainty.
But if Gryffindor's score skyrocketed due to a certain major incident, even surpassing the 150 points deducted by Harry and the others, then the gap would be infinitely reduced.
Unless Slytherin can also increase the corresponding score, it is not impossible to be overtaken.
But why did Dumbledore do this?Could it be that Slytherin has won the House Cup six consecutive times, making him, an old wizard from Gryffindor, look down on it?
This possibility cannot be ruled out, but it is very unlikely.
The Academy Cup is an honor, but if it wasn't for system tasks, Aaron wouldn't even look down on this meaningless honor, let alone Dumbledore, the greatest white mage of this century.
Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Aaron's mind.
Dumbledore is indeed for Gryffindor, more precisely for the three wizards of Gryffindor, and more precisely for Harry Potter.
Using the honor of the Academy Cup can really encourage him to the greatest extent, and make this boy who is relatively new to the wizarding world more confident, especially when he defeated Slytherin, who won the Academy Cup for six consecutive times in the first year of school.
There is no one else, he, Slytherin, is favored by the Dark Lord, and Harry Potter, Gryffindor, is favored by the White Lord.
"Okay! I figured out something." Aaron rubbed his temples, and then said in a solemn tone, "But I'm sorry, I don't want to give up this Academy Cup yet."
Dumbledore froze for a moment, he didn't expect Aaron to see through his intentions.
Snape frowned slightly. When Aaron said this, he also thought of Dumbledore's purpose.
To be honest, he wasn't very interested in the House Cup, but he was interested in beating Gryffindor and beating Harry Potter.
If because of Harry and others, Gryffindor turned against Slytherin, he might be depressed for a while this summer vacation.
Professor McGonagall felt like a pie in the sky. Although Aaron didn't agree, it was only temporary.
Unless he could convince Dumbledore that he was right in keeping the fantastic animal, which obviously wasn't possible.
"Let's talk about my fault! Professor Dumbledore." Aaron said meaningfully, and then glanced at Fox perched on a golden branch, "If it is wrong to raise a magical animal, it seems that other than me , Hogwarts also has a magical animal.
Principal Dumbledore, you can't be so double-standard! "
"I am the principal."
"Can the headmaster be more noble than the students?
Or does the headmaster not have to abide by Hogwarts rules and regulations? "Aaron asked back, "And I remember that the school rules don't seem to say that magical animals are not allowed, right? "
"No." Dumbledore said solemnly, "But dangerous animals are not allowed, such as... dragons, or thunderbirds.
They can cause a lot of damage just by sneezing. There are too many people in the school, and most of them are not strong enough. What if something happens?
Our authoritative Hagrid may have a better say in this regard. He raised an eight-eyed giant spider, and it turned out that he was severely punished. "
Hagrid lowered his head slightly, and whispered in frustration: "Aragok is innocent, it has nothing to do with that so-called secret room."
"But you can't deny its dangers, its ferocious nature, and its instinct to eat people.
Even if it listens to you, but Hagrid, you can't guarantee whether it will want to change its taste one day, and have a tooth-fighting ceremony or something. "
"Uh... Well, I can guarantee that my Abe is safe." Aaron said.
"Unfortunately." Dumbledore shook his head, "Hagrid also thought so at the beginning, but this kind of guarantee without any basis is not convincing at all.
And a safe magical animal wouldn't suddenly grow so big, let alone attack a dark wizard who could send the wizarding world into a panic.
Aaron, your pet is more powerful and dangerous than you think. "
"Professor, with all due respect.
If Abbe is what you say, what about your Fox?
The phoenix is a powerful magical creature, it is very magical, and many wizards who have seen the dragon may not have seen the phoenix. "
"Yes!" Dumbledore nodded, "The phoenix is very powerful, I don't deny it.
But the reason why I can keep it is because I tamed it, it listens to me and won't hurt others.
Many people can prove this point. Sir Merlin, the Ministry of Magic, and the International Federation of Wizards can all vouch for me. They all believe that I have this strength. "
"That means that as long as someone can vouch for me, I can support Abe?" Aaron asked meaningfully.
"You can say that.
But the guarantor should not be too casual and needs to have sufficient authority.
Don't mention it if it's your parents. Their status may be very noble, but they need to avoid suspicion in this matter. "
Aaron let out a long sigh. He was very thankful that he had made adequate preparations before coming to school, otherwise he would have been caught off guard.
Who would have thought that the majestic White Demon King would be as narrow-minded as the Dark Lord, and he would bully a 12-year-old student in a different way in order to achieve his own goals.
If it was something else, Aaron might have tolerated it.
But the Academy Cup is related to his mission and is the first pot of gold on his growth path, so it cannot be let go.
"How are you thinking?" Dumbledore asked, maybe he also felt a little embarrassed, "Of course, as long as you can get enough guarantees during the holidays, you can also raise it at school.
But this semester is not good, it’s fine if you don’t find it, but since we found it, we can’t turn a blind eye, please forgive me. "
Aaron: …
You have used your power for personal gain, so how can you let others understand?
"Forget it, Gaius, let it be!" Snape pretended to be indifferent, "It's just the Academy Cup, just bring it back next school year."
"No." Aaron said righteously, "Although I'm not interested in the Academy Cup, it must be mine if it's mine, and no one can take it away."
"But..."
"Wait a minute." Aaron interrupted him, and took out a piece of yellow paper from his pocket, "This is my guarantee."
Snape was taken aback for a moment, took the yellow paper and looked at it.
But after a few glances, his hands trembled accidentally, and then he looked at Aaron in surprise, and asked in disbelief, "Is this true?"
"Of course it's true. Does anyone in the wizarding world dare to use their names as jokes?"
"It's hard to say!" Snape breathed a sigh of relief, "After all, I only know half of the names on this guarantee letter, and I haven't heard of the rest.
But only relying on this half can allow you to raise it in a fair manner.
It's the first time I've seen someone do this for a magical animal, it's incredible. "
Although in some respects Abe has nothing to do with dragons, but he has raised so many magical animals and has a certain intuition in this regard.
Aaron hesitated for a while, then reluctantly nodded.
"A dragon, a special dragon.
