Chapter 76
The two of them were very close.
Argus sneered.
"Professor, I don't think anything is more important than my life."
"That's Voldemort. Even if it's just a remnant soul, I can't deal with it."
Hearing Argus' words, Dumbledore's heart instantly sank.
The most feared thing in business is this kind of person who refuses to speak.
As long as you make an offer, you can negotiate even if the price is high.
But if you don't even want to offer a price, what else can you talk about!
Argus, who has read the original book, knows very well what Dumbledore wants to do.
It's nothing more than thinking that when Harry and Voldemort are fighting, he will not be in Hogwarts, so he wants to find someone to keep an eye on Harry and protect him a little.
In case Harry really has any problems!
But what good would such a thing do to him?
Dumbledore didn't have a price that was worth his attention.
Philosopher's Stone? Forget it! If he hadn't read the original book, he might still be tempted, but he already knew what Nicolas Flamel was like.
His bones were so brittle that they would break if the wind blew.
What's the use of such immortality?
The rest is Dumbledore's magical knowledge and the Order of the Phoenix.
With Argus's current level, magic is something that no one can learn from!
Which professor can't teach elementary school students' knowledge? Unless you reach a certain level yourself.
But it will take at least a few years, and it's not certain whether Dumbledore can still be alive by then!
As for the Order of the Phoenix, let alone, Dumbledore dares to give it, but Argus may not dare to accept it!
Sirius, Lupin, Snape... Which one is not Harry's direct descendant?
No matter how strong they are, if they can't command them, they are just empty shells!
Thinking about this, Argus smiled even more contemptuously.
"Professor Dumbledore, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."
"As for protecting Harry... I think several professors are more suitable than me. Professor Snape is quite good. He should be happy to go."
"Argus, I think we can discuss it again."
"No need, Professor Dumbledore."
Argus stood up and said goodbye, not giving Dumbledore any chance to stay.
Only Dumbledore was left in the messy office.
On the wall of the office, several headmasters silently watched everything that had just happened.
"Albus, the child is right. It is indeed a bit too anxious for you to let an eleven-year-old child face these things."
A black-robed witch with a pointed hat spoke for Argus.
An old man with a sheep beard nodded and agreed: "That's right, the Grindelwald family is really lucky, two consecutive generations of talents are so good that people envy them."
"Come on! Black! And Elizabeth Burke! As long as they are pure blood, you like them!"
A round-faced witch with golden hair was very dissatisfied with the two's remarks, and turned to Dumbledore again.
"But, Albus, there is one thing they are right about. It is indeed a bit difficult to let an eleven-year-old child deal with such a powerful enemy."
Dumbledore lay in the rocking chair.
Every time he felt upset, he would try to find a moment of peace here.
"I know this child's talent and strength very well."
"With Fawkes and the spell on Harry, he will be fine."
"But did you notice his eyes!" Armando Dippet, Dumbledore's former headmaster, spoke seriously.
"I have seen the same look in another student."
"That is...ambition!"
After pondering for a moment, Dumbledore said slowly: "Principal Dippet, we have missed it once, and I don't want to make the same mistake again."
"He is different from Voldemort. He understands the meaning of love better than Voldemort."
Dippet did not speak again, but the blond round-faced witch asked another question: "Albus, if Mr. Grindelwald is unwilling to help, are there any other alternatives?"
"Doesn't Mr. Potter have many friends?"
Ron's face flashed subconsciously in Dumbledore's mind, and then he shook his head.
"Forget it, I'll let Fox pay more attention to it."
"With Fox here, he can bring me back at any time."
Having said that, Dumbledore knew that letting Fox bring him here was a helpless choice.
After observing Harry for this period of time, he obviously noticed that what Harry lacked most now was confidence!
And the courage to fight Voldemort!
This confrontation with Voldemort is a great opportunity, and if used well, it can greatly improve Harry.
's character, and he can also gain a lot of reputation for himself.
But if he takes action himself, the nature will be completely different.
Maybe in the future, when Harry encounters difficulties, he will subconsciously seek help from himself or others.
He is old, and Harry needs to walk the road ahead by himself.
If he wants me to help him with everything, how can he fight Voldemort in the future?
Unfortunately, he has no other choice now.
If he takes action himself, at least he can ensure that Harry will not be hurt.
It's better than losing his life!
...
Time flies, and soon the day of returning to school is here.
Through observation over the past few days, Argus found that Quirrell rarely appeared in front of everyone.
Occasionally, he was seen a few times, also in the restaurant.
And he could clearly see his weakness!
More importantly, the look in the other party's eyes when looking at him has already brought a hint of greed!
At the moment when the holiday ended, a long-lost system prompt came to my mind.
[Congratulations to the host for occupying more than half of the transactions in Diagon Alley and obtaining the achievement: The Rise of a Business Giant]
[Achievement Point Reward: 100]
"I almost forgot that I have this system!"
Argus smiled bitterly.
His life during this period was so full that he wished he could use a day as 48 hours.
He had no time to think about the system at all!
The people who returned were not as excited as they imagined.
After Christmas, the final exams will soon come.
This is a headache for most young wizards.
The Slytherin people returned to the lounge and saw Argus reading a book at a glance.
The people who were a little sad just now immediately became energetic, surrounded Argus, and kept asking him about the news in the Daily Prophet.
After Argus briefly responded to a few people, he lost interest. After telling Draco the whole story, he was ready to find Hagrid to ask about the goods.
One Christmas emptied most of the Saint's inventory, and now he urgently needs to replenish the supply.
"Hagrid, are you there?"
Argus knocked on the door of Hagrid's hut, and immediately there was a series of ping-pong noises.
It seemed like something had fallen over and broken.
Then came Hagrid's slightly anxious voice.
"Wait a minute, I'll come and open the door right away!"
