Chapter 53 Dumbledore is anxious
Finished processing a load of herbs from Snape's office.
Argus shook his tired palms and was about to go out to say goodbye when Snape stopped him.
"Wait a minute, go to the principal's office. Professor Dumbledore wants to see you."
"The password for the stone statue at the door is: pile of cockroaches."
"Okay, Professor!"
Yagus was a little confused.
He shouldn't have had much interaction with Dumbledore during this period, right?
Could it be that the problem is with the store?
Full of doubts, Yagus came to the door of the principal's office.
The command sounded and the stone statue opened.
Dumbledore was lying on the rocking chair, holding a thick book in his hand.
Seeing Yagus coming, he put the book in his hand aside.
"Agus, 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 could have dinner at your place."
Yagus gestured to the surrounding torches with his eyes, his meaning was obvious.
Lao Deng, why are you calling me so late?
If you have anything to say, hurry up. I haven’t even eaten yet!
"Yagos, do you still remember the agreement between us?"
"Remember, it's not you who helps me..."
It was only now that Argus remembered that he had not had much contact with Harry in the past two months.
Only Dumbledore abides by the agreement between the two.
Yagus couldn't help but smile awkwardly.
"It's not that I don't want to come into contact with Harry, it's just that I really don't have any chance to come into contact with him."
Dumbledore glanced at him, obviously disbelieving.
But he didn't argue with him and continued.
"You should be aware of Harry's situation during this period."
Yagus thought about it carefully.
Without Hermione's supervision, the secrets on the third floor were not discovered like in the original novel.
Harry's current life is quite fulfilling.
Play games with Ron in class and take a nap.
After class, we’ll play wizard chess, and then we’ll go to Hagrid’s for a couple of walks if we have nothing to do.
No different from ordinary little wizards at Hogwarts.
The only difference is his identity as the savior!
"You noticed that too? Harry's life is too easy."
"If this continues, it will wear down his will."
"You want me to take him to study? It's impossible. With Harry's temperament, he can't sit still in the library!"
Yagus frowned.
"Professors are in charge of learning matters, so you don't have to worry about that."
"What I want you to develop is Harry's adventurous spirit."
"Adventure? Apart from the Forbidden Forest, there is no adventure in Hogwarts..."
Argus raised his head and met Dumbledore's half-smiling eyes.
"You want Harry to go to the third floor?"
Only then did he realize that if the current situation continued, even when Harry graduated, it would be impossible to discover the secret of the third floor.
Not to mention facing Voldemort behind Quirrell's head!
No wonder Dumbledore became anxious, that's why!
"As the savior of the wizarding world, he has to face something, doesn't he?"
Dumbledore picked up a mouthful of sizzling honey candy and put it in his mouth, showing a happy expression.
"Okay, this is not difficult."
Yagus smiled brightly.
Just now he was still struggling with how to deal with Hermione and others on Halloween night.
Isn’t this the way to go?
With Harry and Ron as excuses, it would be much easier to deal with!
You can even kill two birds with one stone and find a reason to talk to Harry again.
At this moment, the dinner prepared by the house elf was served.
Seeing it was Yagus, Leah hurriedly put away the dinner.
"Mr. Grindelwald, Leah didn't know it was you who wanted dinner."
"Leah thought it was the principal who wanted to eat!"
"Please wait a moment, Leah will prepare another one for you right away!"
"No, Leah, your cooking is great and everything you make is delicious."
Yagus was tired all afternoon and was already hungry. He took the food and ate it voraciously.
Leah was so excited that she jumped up and down, completely forgetting that this was the principal's office.
"Mr. Grindelwald remembers Leia's name!"
“He complimented Leah’s food!”
"Leah is an elf with great craftsmanship!"
Dumbledore's eyes showed surprise.
It seems that he did not expect that the house elves in Hogwarts Castle would respect Argus so much.
Even as a principal, he is incomparable!
When he thought about the house elves at Hogwarts Castle trying to take back Argus's food, he felt a twinge of dismay in his heart.
What do you mean by thinking that the principal wants to eat!
I can only eat whatever you prepare casually?
It’s a shame I’ve been in charge of Hogwarts for so many years!
So, love disappears, right?
Yagus quickly eliminated the food in front of him and let out a sigh of satisfaction.
Hand the plate to Leah.
"Thanks, Leah!"
"It's an honor to serve you, Leah!"
Leia jumped up, snapped her fingers, and disappeared into Dumbledore's office.
"Mr. Principal, there is a curfew immediately. If there is nothing else, I will go back first."
Argus stood up, bowed to Dumbledore, and prepared to leave.
Dumbledore couldn't help but wonder: "Why would they..."
"Because here, they get the respect they dream of!"
Yagus left the office without looking back.
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 would think about and summarize his actions and words today.
He would also think about whether there are details in other people's words that he has not discovered.
Regarding Voldemort, although he and Dumbledore never mentioned it, they tacitly acknowledged each other's existence.
This also made Argus believe that at the end of the first part of the original book, the battle between Harry and Voldemort was arranged 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..."
