One or two days, after breakfast in the morning, Tom was about to pester Tao Bao to learn magic while he was resting, when a middle-aged man with long russet hair came to the door of the welfare home.

He wears a black traveling cloak, a tipped hat, and carries a small brown rattan box.

Tao Bao, who came to open the door, saw him dressed like this, and he had already guessed his identity in his heart.

That faint fluctuation of magic showed that he was a wizard. And there is a magic guild badge on his chest, obviously he belongs to the magic guild.

Tom followed Tao Bao, originally chasing her out to tell her that he was going to learn magic, and then he saw a middle-aged man dressed in such a strange way, and his subconscious reaction was that this was the rescuer brought by the two wizards last night.

Of course, there may be other identities that he doesn't know.

Tom slowly walked behind Tao Bao, Tao Bao didn't say anything when he saw him coming out, waved his hand to signal him to stand aside first, and when he retreated to the door, she stepped forward to open the door, looked at the strangely dressed man and asked with a smile:

"Sir, who are you looking for?"

The middle-aged man bent the corners of his mouth, his sharp and bright blue eyes swept over Tao Bao and Tom very penetratingly, and he smiled: "Looking for you." ”

Tom was overwhelmed by his piercing eyes, and stepped back behind Tao Bao, avoiding his gaze.

But his heart was still pounding, even faster and faster, and he felt uncomfortable standing in front of people with all his nakedness.

The look in this middle-aged man's eyes made him feel frightened!

Tao Bao protected Tom behind him with one hand, pulled the door open with the other, nodded, and motioned for the middle-aged man to come in first.

The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows and walked in through the crack in the door that Tao Bao had opened, obviously a little surprised by Tao Bao's unusually gentle attitude.

When Tao Bao saw him come in, he closed the door again, took Tom in one hand, raised the other hand into the house, and smiled at him: "Let's go in and talk." ”

The middle-aged man bowed his head and also showed a smile, and his whole temperament became very gentle.

Before entering the room, he swept his wise gaze over Tom again, and smiled at Tom meaninglessly, before withdrawing his gaze.

As soon as he entered the house, Tom walked away briskly at Tao Bao's suggestion. However, instead of going to the classroom, he hid far away in the corner of the room, secretly watching the adults in the hall.

The dean greeted him, exchanged pleasantries with the middle-aged man, and learned his name. Dumbledore.

Because he said that he had come to find Tao Bao and Tom, the dean invited Tao Bao and him to his room for a detailed discussion.

Tom followed him upstairs and snuggled up the door, eavesdropping on the conversation.

In the room, the three of them sat down on the sofa, Albus spoke directly, he looked at the dean and smiled:

"Dean, I'm here to take a child, Tom. Riddle. ”

"This, we must first obtain the consent of the child in this matter, otherwise we will not be able to hand over the child to your husband."

The dean smiled embarrassedly, lowered his eyebrows, and then raised his head for a while, as if he had made up his mind, sighed, and frowned:

"Mr. Dumbledore, here's the thing, Tom is a kid who doesn't like to communicate with other children, and, not long ago, he almost hanged a child's rabbit, although the rabbit didn't die, but this child's actions prove that he is different from other children, so, are you sure?"

Hearing the dean's words, Tao Bao just wanted to sigh that the dean was too upright. In this way, if it is another adoptive family, who is afraid that they will turn around and leave, where will they want another child like this?

But it can't be said that she did something wrong, she also did it for the good of both parties, and if the adopter finds out that she has been deceived, I am afraid that she will vent her anger on the child.

However, Dumbledore obviously didn't mind, and he smiled mildly, "I know all of this, it doesn't matter to the headmaster." ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Tao Bao, who was sitting on the side and had not spoken, and said, "Dean, I still want to talk to this lady alone, don't you know if it's convenient?" ”

The dean glanced at Tao Bao, saw that there was no expression on her face, retracted his gaze in embarrassment, and nodded: "Of course, then you talk first, and I'll bring Tom over." ”

As he spoke, he stood up, smiled at the two of them, and went out first.

Fortunately, Tom at the door reacted quickly and ran downstairs early, otherwise he would have been discovered.

There were only two people left in the room, Tao Bao and Dumbledore, and when he saw the dean leaving, Dumbledore directly opened his mouth to express his intentions, and he smiled:

"Ma'am, I was supposed to be here next summer, but I happened to be doing some business at the Magic Guild last night, and just as I was about to leave, I overheard a conversation between Harx and Billy, and was very interested in what they called "a new type of white magic that can multiply the blow to black magic", so I planned to come early. ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, glanced at Tao Bao's expression, and then said, "Take the liberty of asking, ma'am, are you a free wizard?" ”

Tao Bao nodded, changed his seat, and came face to face with Dumbledore.

She looked up into his sharp blue eyes and asked with a smile, "You want to hire me as a teacher at the Academy of Magic?" ”

Dumbledore was not embarrassed at all, and nodded generously in acknowledgement.

"That's true, ma'am, you know me?"

Tao Bao bowed his head, and said with a playful gaze: "Of course, there should be very few people who don't know you, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, a top student who graduated from Gryffindor House, and is currently the teacher of the college's Transfiguration class. Mr. Dumbledore. ”

Saying this, he suddenly changed his words, and refused with a light smile: "But I can only say sorry to you, because I don't know any white magic." ”

Hearing this, Dumbledore's brows furrowed, and he looked at Tao Bao with a scrutinizing gaze, obviously not believing her words.

"Ma'am, I've learned all about last night, and you're telling me now that you don't know any white magic, that's a bit far-fetched, isn't it?"

Dumbledore asked, his blue eyes so bright that no one could even look at them.

It's a pity that Tao Bao just looked at his sharp eyes, nodded, and replied: "That's the case, I really don't know any white magic." ”

Dumbledore still didn't believe it, believing that this was the reason why Tao Bao didn't want to go to the Academy of Magic. But Tao Bao assured her that she was telling the truth, that she knew magic, not magic.

The atmosphere between the two suddenly froze, and just as they didn't know how to resolve the awkward atmosphere, the dean pushed open the door and led Tom in, finally breaking the stiffness of the room. For mobile phone users, please browse M. Reading for a better reading experience.
