"Welcome, Professor Dumbledore. Silver stood in the palatial hall in formal attire and greeted the guests, "Maybe I should say welcome Minister Dumbledore?"

A tall figure in a long cloak walked slowly, it was a tall, thin man, with silver-white hair and beard hanging down to his waist. He wears a pair of half-moon-shaped glasses on his hooked nose, a black traveling cloak, and a pointed hat.

There was a hint of amusement in his voice, "Jack, your griffon almost killed me. ”

Balzac was not in a good temper at night - but fortunately no one usually visited the Château de Slom at midnight. Silver laughed and said, "You didn't hurt Balzac, it's no match for a great wizard." ”

"I gave it a sweet dream. Dumbledore laughed, "It's so rare that a griffon can be domesticated, and I won't hurt it." ”

Dumbledore took off his cloak and looked around, "No matter how many times I've been here, I've been blown away every time, Sylon Castle is truly an amazing building. ”

"It's a far cry from Hogwarts. Silver snapped his fingers, and the house-elf Lanold appeared in the living room with two cups of coffee, "Would you like a cup of coffee?" ”

"Of course. Dumbledore sat down and sipped his coffee, "I had the idea of being Minister for Magic when I was younger, but I abandoned it when I realized that I wasn't fit in power. Now that I've really become the Minister of Magic, I'm sure I'm really not wrong at all, I'm really not fit to be a minister, I have to work late into the night every day, reading those smelly and long articles, seriously, I really want to switch places with Scrimthour. ”

"Scrimgeour is a good Auror, but he's far less fit to be a minister than you. "It seems a bit out of his power to make him Headmaster of Hogwarts, and as far as I know, he hasn't found a Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher yet." ”

"It's a high-stakes subject, Jack. Dumbledore stroked his beard, "I've always had a headache about this, and no teacher can stay in this position for more than a year. Fighting dark wizards is Scrimgeoer's forte, but finding someone to be a teacher is not an easy task, and I came to you to deal with this matter. ”

"Looking for me?" Silver blinked, "How can I help?"

"You're sure to be able to help, Jack. "I know a very experienced teacher, and he likes young students with great promises. ”

"But—" Silver hesitated, "how could the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher have such a strange hobby, no matter how well Defence Against the Dark Arts practiced, he could be an Auror, and his influence was limited." ”

"Not Defence Against the Dark Arts, Jack. Dumbledore said, "It's Potions, and Severus said he would love to be the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, so we had to find a Potions Master who could replace Severus to teach Potions." ”

"Isn't that just—"

"I knew you could probably guess. Dumbledore smiled and said, "You are one of the smartest children I have ever met, and you are far more knowledgeable than your peers, and it is enviable that Servie and Vinica have raised a good son." By the way, where are they now? I've heard that they've been out of the UK for a few years. ”

"It's for the expansion of the family business. Silver reluctantly took a sip of his coffee, "Of course, maybe they like to run around like this in the first place, but recently they asked me to find a way to liquidate assets in England and invest in South America." ”

"Sounds great. Dumbledore said, "How are you doing?"

"It's almost over, all the shops in the UK have changed hands, and the employees have been arranged to go to France and other places. "I don't have to worry too much about it, the other pure-blood families have suddenly taken a keen interest in business lately, and these assets have been sold for a good price." ”

"Maybe they've heard something, and it's time for us to go, Jack. Dumbledore finished his cup of coffee and put his cloak back on. "That guy is very cunning, and I don't want to pounce for a while. Get your wand ready, Jack. He said in a brisk tone.

"Professor Dumbledore, I'm not an adult yet. Silver said, "I can't use magic outside of school. ”

Dumbledore raised an eyebrow, "Jack, I'm the Minister for Magic now, and I'm in charge - the rules always have to be flexible. ”

"I now understand why you say you're not fit to be Minister of Magic. Silver said, turning to the house-elf Lanod, and draped himself in the cloak he had prepared. (To be continued......)
