Chapter 53

After processing a large pile of herbs from Snape's office.

Argus shook his tired hands and was about to say goodbye when Snape called him.

"Wait, go to the principal's office. Professor Dumbledore wants to see you."

"The password of the stone statue at the door is: cockroach pile."

"Okay, professor!"

Argus was a little confused.

He should have had no intersection with Dumbledore during this period, right?

Could it be that it was a problem with the store?

With a lot of doubts, Argus came to the door of the principal's office.

The password sounded, and the stone statue opened.

Dumbledore was lying on a rocking chair, holding a thick book in his hand.

Seeing Argus coming, he put the book in his hand aside.

"Argus, can I call you that?"

"Of course, Mr. Principal."

"Sit down, what do you want to eat?"

"If you don't mind, I think I can have dinner here."

Argus gestured to the torches around him, and the meaning was very clear.

Old Deng, why are you calling me so late?

If you have something to say, please tell me, I haven't eaten yet!

"Argus, do you still remember the agreement between us?"

"I remember, if it weren't for you helping me..."

Until now, Argus remembered that he didn't seem to have much contact with Harry in the past two months.

Only Dumbledore kept the agreement between the two.

Argus couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

"It's not that I don't want to contact Harry, it's that I really don't have much chance to contact him."

Dumbledore glanced at him, obviously unbelieving.

But he didn't bother with him and continued.

"You should know Harry's situation during this period."

Argus thought about it carefully.

Without Hermione's urging, and without discovering the secret of the third floor like in the original book.

Harry's life now is very comfortable.

Play games with Ron in class, and sleep.

Play wizard chess after class, and go to Hagrid's place for a stroll.

No different from ordinary little wizards in Hogwarts.

The only difference is his identity as the savior!

"You also discovered? Harry's life is too comfortable."

"If it goes on like this, it will wear down his will."

"You want me to help him study? It's unlikely. With Harry's temper, he can't sit still in the library!"

Aggs frowned.

"The professor is responsible for learning matters, you don't have to worry about this."

"What I want you to cultivate is Harry's adventurous spirit."

"Adventure? There is no adventure in Hogwarts except the Forbidden Forest..."

Aggs raised his head and met Dumbledore's smiling eyes.

"You want Harry to go to the third floor?"

He realized that if the current situation continued, even if Harry graduated, he would not be able to discover the secret of the third floor.

Not to mention facing Voldemort behind Quirrell's head!

No wonder Dumbledore started to worry, that's why!

"As the savior of the wizarding world, he always has to face something, doesn't he?"

Dumbledore took a bite of sizzling honey candy and put it in his mouth, showing a happy expression.

"Okay, this is not difficult."

Argus smiled brightly.

Just now he was still struggling with how to deal with Hermione and others on Halloween night.

Isn't this method here!

With Harry and Ron as an excuse, it will be much easier to deal with!

You can even kill two birds with one stone and find a reason to talk to Harry again.

Just then, the dinner prepared by the house elf was served.

Leah saw that it was Argus and hurriedly put away the dinner.

"Mr. Grindelwald, Leah didn't know it was the dinner you wanted."

"Lia thought it was the principal's!"

"Please wait a moment, Leah will prepare another one for you right away!"

"No need, Leah, your cooking skills are great, everything you cook is delicious."

Agus was tired all afternoon and was already hungry, so he took the food and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

Leah was extremely excited, jumping and jumping, completely forgetting that this was the principal's office.

"Mr. Grindelwald remembered Leah's name!"

"He praised Leah's food!"

"Lia is an elf with great cooking skills!"

Dumbledore's eyes were full of surprise.

It seemed that he didn't expect the house elves in Hogwarts Castle to respect Agus so much.

Even as the principal, he couldn't compare!

When he thought of the house elves in Hogwarts Castle just now,

Ling wanted to take Argus's food back, and he felt uncomfortable.

What do you mean by thinking that it was the headmaster's food!

I can only eat whatever you prepared casually?

I have been in charge of Hogwarts for so many years!

So, love will disappear, right?

Argus quickly finished the food in front of him and exhaled with satisfaction.

Handed the plate to Leah.

"Thank you, Leah!"

"It is Leah's honor to serve you!"

Leah jumped and snapped her fingers, disappearing in Dumbledore's office.

"Mr. Headmaster, curfew will be called soon. If there is nothing else, I will go back first."

Argus stood up, saluted to Dumbledore, and prepared to leave.

Dumbledore couldn't help wondering in his heart: "Why would they..."

"Because here, they get the respect they dream of!"

Argus didn't look back and left the office directly.

Only Dumbledore was left to murmur in a low voice.

"Respect..."

"Gellert, I can't see through it."

"Tell me, is he pretending?"

...

Leaving Dumbledore's office and returning to the dormitory.

Argus reflected on the conversation with Dumbledore just now.

This has become a habit of his. Every night after returning to the dormitory, he will think about his actions and words today.

He will also think about whether there are details in other people's words that he has not discovered.

Although he and Dumbledore never mentioned Voldemort, they tacitly acknowledged each other's existence.

This also made Argus convinced that the battle between Harry and Voldemort at the end of the first part of the original book was planned by Dumbledore.

"Regarding Voldemort's Horcruxes, it should also be included in the collection plan."

"A dog with a collar is a good dog."

Argus lay on the bed and muttered silently.

Voldemort's threat today has aroused his vigilance.

Voldemort was completely resurrected during the Goblet of Fire, that is, in 1995.

There is still some time before now.

He counted Voldemort's seven Horcruxes and found that the only ones he could easily get were the diary in Lucius's hand and the crown in the Room of Requirement.

"The items of the four founders of Hogwarts are easily associated together. These can be handed over to Dumbledore to exchange for benefits."

"I only need to leave a notebook as a backup!"

"But now is not the time to hand them over. We must wait until everyone realizes the danger of Voldemort before we can get the greatest benefits."

"Teacher, don't blame me..."
