Chapter 116: Followers
After lunch, Canaan was stuck in front of Dumbledore's headmaster's office early. He felt like to talk to Dumbledore about Professor Fitz, and he was interested in the blue gem on the merfolk's crown.
He guessed that the sapphire, like the emerald, contained some kind of power in it.
"Canaan, why are you here?" said Dumbledore, who had just returned from the hall, was surprised to see Canaan in front of the hallway.
"Ask you something. Canaan smiled slightly, very casually.
Dumbledore nodded, his voice old, "Come in with me." Then he said today's password to the statue, and the staircase at the statue slowly moved, and Canaan followed Dumbledore into the headmaster's room.
"Would you like something to drink?" Dumbledore sat down in his chair.
"No, I've just had a full meal, and there's still a lesson later, it's Mrs. Hodge's flying lesson. Canaan shook his head.
Dumbledore smiled slightly after hearing this, and looked at Canaan with blue eyes, "Then you really can't drink too much, what is the matter with you coming to me?"
"Don't worry, I'm not bothering you, although your book is really useless to me. Canaan smiled and continued, "I want to ask you, what is the attitude of the merfolk clan towards you after yesterday's incident?"
"Their attitude wasn't too bad last night. They said they wanted us to help them find the crown and catch the thief. With that, Dumbledore took some sweets out of the drawer and asked softly, "Do you mind if I have lunch? ”
"Of course, you are free. Canaan shrugged at Dumbledore's antics and then stretched out his head and asked, "Didn't they suspect you?"
He didn't believe that the merfolk could trust Dumbledore so easily, after all, they could steal things from the merfolk's well-guarded treasure room, which ordinary wizards couldn't do.
"I did suspect it, but Beatan had always thought that the two thefts had been committed by one person. So I made a spell with him to make sure I wasn't the wizard who stole the mermaid's crown, and he believed me. Dumbledore laughed and recounted the situation.
"You're smart enough. Canaan sighed, and couldn't help but praise the old fox-like Dumbledore, and Dumbledore also successfully dumped the black cauldron on others.
"Did you get anything out of interviewing all the professors at Hogwarts yesterday?" asked Canaan again.
"No, I used a lot of methods and didn't find any problems with them. Dumbledore's expression became serious, and then he said in a speculative tone, "I don't think this was done by us insiders at Hogwarts, or maybe it was done by someone from outside the school. ”
"No one outside is familiar with Hogwarts, and the whole of Hogwarts is covered in the Anti-Apparition Shifter, so he has nowhere to hide. Canaan shook his head in rejection.
"Who do you suspect?" Dumbledore's deep eyes stared at Canaan.
"Only this class of new students and Professor Fitz in Defense Against the Dark Arts are the most suspicious at Hogwarts. Did you recruit Professor Fitz, and where did he come from?" asked Canaan.
"Are you suspicious of him?" Dumbledore's blue eyes fell into thought, "He's also my student, he was sorted into Hufflepuff at the time, and his talent was mediocre. I met him in Germany not long ago, and when I found him living in poverty, I recruited him to school. ”
"What a lot of students you have!" exclaimed Canaan again. He found that most of the people who crossed paths with him were Dumbledore's students, and it was no wonder that Dumbledore had such a big influence, it was really all over the world!
"What did you find out about him?" Dumbledore asked with a frown, not knowing Canaan's inner little ninety-nine.
And he knew that Canaan would not be untargeted, and he must have discovered something.
"He seems to know a lot about the merfolk clan, especially the merfolk treasure trove..."Canaan recounted what had happened in class today.
Dumbledore nodded and smiled, "I also know about this, yesterday Fitz said that he grew up near the lake in Durmstrong, and you know that there are mermaids there. He also said he could help me negotiate with the merfolk. ”
"Well, does he have an Animagus?" asked Canaan, a little reluctantly.
"No, there are only a few Animagus registered with the British Ministry of Magic, and Fitz is not among them. I also don't hear that he owns the Animagus privately. Dumbledore shook his head.
Canaan scratched his head, "Didn't you use the Dementor on him?"
"Canaan, it's rude to use a dementor on someone else, and since he's my student, I should trust him. Dumbledore said with a grimace.
"Okay. Canaan slapped his forehead, slightly sensing Dumbledore's shamelessness.
He remembered the first time he met Dumbledore, Dumbledore seemed to be watching him with a dementor.
Seeing Canaan's helpless expression, Dumbledore smiled and said kindly, "Go back quickly, otherwise you won't be able to catch up with Madame Hooch's flying lesson." As for Fitz, I'll pay attention too, you don't have to worry. ”
"It's for the best. Canaan nodded helplessly.
......
During the flying lesson, Canaan sat on a battered broomstick in the sky, which was a Hogwarts practice broomstick, which was stable but very slow.
"Roger, come to Bibi, while Madame Hodge isn't here. Fred of the twin duo defiantly in the air.
"Wait and see, Fred, you're going to lose. Roger turned his broom head unskillfully and hurried towards Fred.
Looking at Roger, who was swinging left and right on the broomstick, Canaan sighed that he must have misdivided the house, and that Gryffindor might be a better fit for him.
Canaan looked at Alita again, who was holding Pikachu in the air and skillfully manipulating the broomstick. Pikachu also seems to be very fond of the sky, wagging its tail and yelling excitedly.
And Alita's face is also filled with a rare smile, and it seems that they get along very well.
"Brian, I'd like to talk to you. At this time, Will flew to Canaan's side and whispered.
Canaan glanced at him unexpectedly and nodded, "Let's go down and talk and find a remote place." ”
They found a clean meadow under the castle and sat down, and Will stammered, "Do you still lack followers?"
He looked carefully into Canaan's eyes, as if he was very afraid that Canaan would reject him.
"Followers, why are you following me?" Canaan smiled.
"Because of your strength, I have never seen a wizard with such magical powers at your age. I don't think even Voldemort was as good as you. Will said with a feverish expression.
Canaan didn't expect Will to be so powerful and seemed ambitious.
No wonder he especially wanted to go to Slytherin during the Sorting House, perhaps in his opinion that it was there that his ideals and ambitions could be realized.
Seeing that Canaan did not reply, Will hurriedly said, "I am willing to be your faithful servant and fulfill all your orders. ”
Canaan sighed, he felt that some old notions of aristocracy had sinked into Will's bones. It is believed that even if Will graduates from Hogwarts, he will largely become a Death Eater who has lost himself for strength and safety in the future.
"You follow me first, but I want you to realize that strength is not the only thing the strong have, but more wisdom. I think that's why the Sorting Hat assigned you to Rowwenclaw. Canaan said slowly.
Will was overjoyed when he heard this. He knelt on one knee on the grass, bowed his head, and respectfully said, "My master!"
"Okay, Will, I don't like this form, and in the future, it makes a lot more sense to call me by my name directly, and to have inner respect than these actions. Canaan reprimanded him harshly.
"Yes, Lord... Mr. Blaine. ”
Canaan nodded and picked him up from the ground, "Very well, let's go back, skipping school is not what a good student should do." ”
