Chapter 55: An Invitation to Hogwarts

Fudge's resistance did not dampen Daniel's determination to continue reform, and he is now determined to build the British wizarding world into a new, modern society.

Although he could not openly promote cable TV and the Internet, he began to build high-rise buildings, commercial buildings, KTVs, cinemas, bars, hairdressers, and nail salons in Diagon Alley......

Every day, new gadgets and entertainment appear in Diagon Alley.

While spending money was pouring water, the Black family's vault at Gringotts was completely depleted.

Everyone didn't understand Little Blake, and felt that his behavior was too crazy and high-profile, and he was very loser.

"The Blake family is going bankrupt, look at it!"

"If he doesn't make any more money, the Black family will be finished."

Voices like this continue to circulate in the wizarding world.

But little Mr. Black still did what he had to do, and he was not moved in the slightest.

Even Sirius never seemed to be worried.

He always had a smile full of nonchalance on his handsome face, and when asked about something he didn't like, he would put on the Blake's arrogant and contemptuous expression, and said disdainfully: "Stay away, this, it's a private matter of the Blake family." ”

Diagon Alley is changing day by day, and at first people don't realize anything.

It wasn't until one day, when Diagon Alley was overcrowded and Hogsmeade, a gathering place for wizards, was unnoticed, that people suddenly realized how drastically Diagon Alley had changed.

The old wizards didn't feel much of it, but the younger wizards, many of them, enjoyed themselves in all kinds of entertainment.

In the past, Diagon Alley slept quietly with the wizards at night;

But now, at night, Diagon Alley is brightly lit and as if it were day.

[Let's play the game.] ]

[Play boom with me with Sherlock!] boom！ The game is very interesting. ]

[Play the game with me.] ]

[Fun game!] ]

The criminology expert was still sending spam text messages to Daniel's inbox.

However, Daniel only had to think of the unbridled explosion at 221B Baker Street, which regarded human life as a mustard, and he could not feel a trace of goodwill in his heart at all.

He had thought that Moriarty would abandon his crimes in London because of his novel exploration of the wizarding world, but it was clear that he was naïve. The criminary clearly had his own steps, and was going on step by step, and teasing himself was perhaps just a little entertainment for his intermission.

Such an idea is frustrating.

But Daniel has never been a person who likes to regret and complain, and his life motto has always been: look forward.

So, he calmly pulled Moriarty into the blocklist, and indifferently thought, 'High IQ should be handed over to people with high IQs.' He completely forgot about this man and all about it.

Because of this, he accidentally ignored the last blocked text message in his inbox:

[I'm going to see Sherlock in person tomorrow, baby, aren't you really with me?] XXX pool, I'll wait for you. ]

Then, just as Daniel put down his phone, a clear chirp rang out......

A fiery red bird with its wings outstretched and its long, beautiful tail feathers in front of him appeared before him, and it threw a letter at Daniel.

"It's Headmaster Dumbledore's phoenix." Remus said he had just come down from the upper floors and saw the scene.

He looked at the beautiful firebird and smiled wistfully, "I remember, it seems to be called Fawkes." ”

The phoenix let out a soft snort, as if in response to him.

Daniel looked at the letter in his hand, Dumbledore's font was thin and long, and it looked very elegant.

In the letter, Dumbledore said that he hoped to visit Black's house in the afternoon, and if Daniel agreed, he would send him a message back on this note, Fawkes, and that the phoenix would bring the letter back.

After coming to the British wizarding world for such a long time, it was the first time that Daniel had dealt with this highly respected and important figure in the wizarding world head-on, although he didn't know the purpose of the other party, he still couldn't help but get excited.

He then replied with a quick reply, saying that he had been idle all afternoon, and that he was honored to receive the Headmaster of Hogwarts, and that he could visit at two o'clock in the afternoon if it was convenient.

After getting the reply, Phoenix Fawkes quickly flew up, dragging its long tail feathers in the air and spun gracefully in a circle, and then disappeared.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Dumbledore visited the Black family's old mansion on time.

This historic ancestral house is obviously very different from the past because of the owner who settled in it.

The lawn outside is verdant, and there is a small flower bed, but the flowers are not precious, they are all ordinary flowers that are easy to feed and full of vitality, and they look full of life.

The door was opened by the house-elf of the Black family, it was covered with a blue cloth, and there was a medal on its left chest, it looked clean and neat, although it was a little old, and the bat-sized ears were covered with white hair, but it was very proud.

Walking into Blake's first-floor lobby, all the curtains were pulled up and the warm sunlight shone in.

There is no extravagant decoration anymore, the walls are whitewashed, although the color is not Gryffindor's gold and red, but the color of goose yellow, emerald green and light blue, which also makes the whole room look comfortable and warm.

Sirius was basking in the sun under the window with the green-eyed Harry in his Animagus state, Remus Lupin was holding a quill and writing something on a small table, and Daniel was lazily nestled in a large white couch flipping through a picture book.

The moment they saw Dumbledore enter, all three of them stood up at once.

"I'm so glad to meet you, Headmaster."

Remus was the first to say enthusiastically, and there was a very sincere emotion on his face, showing that he was indeed happy from the bottom of his heart at the moment.

"Kreacher, you didn't inform me." Daniel complained about the elf and hurried over from the couch, "I'm sorry, Mr. Dumbledore, I couldn't go out to meet you personally. ”

Kreacher's eyes widened, "The master didn't let Kreacher inform you, only asked Kreacher to welcome the guests in." ”

"Okay, okay, my bad. I forgot to tell you, before you come in, let me know first, let me prepare. ”

Daniel, fearing that Kreacher would have a nervous break, slammed his head against the wall to punish himself, and hastened to admit his mistake, and, quickly dismissing it, commanded: "Go and prepare some refreshments!" Don't let our esteemed Headmaster sit still. ”

Sirius also changed back to his human form at this time, he carefully put the sleeping Harry aside, and cast a mute spell around him with his wand before turning around, as lively as ever, said, "Headmaster, you can just sit down, you're welcome, just like your own home." ”

Such a warm treatment made Dumbledore couldn't help but show a kind smile, as if he had gone back to many years ago, and greeted the two 'students' gently: "Siris, Remus, you are still the same." ”

"Thanks to you, you saved my life." Remus gratefully confessed, "You are always guiding me on the right path, just as Merlin guides every wizard." ”

However, Dumbledore simply smiled and replied, "No, you are guiding yourself." Remus, never underestimate your own power. The beauty you yearn for and seek is all from the true voice of your heart. Beauty never depends on the guidance of others, but on your own choice. ”

"I'm so happy ......"

Dumbledore gazed at Lupin mildly and said, "I'm glad that Remus you have chosen the right path. ”

Lupin couldn't help but smile pleasantly back.

No one knows how hard life can be for a werewolf who will transform into a werewolf who hurts others on a full moon night.

He was neither a werewolf nor a human, banished, ostracized, starved and cold, yet he was always willing to be kind to others and insisted on not harming anyone.

This persistence and optimism all stemmed from a strong decision made by the old man many years ago.

He treated the werewolf child as an equal, accepted him into Hogwarts, and provided protection to spend the full moon night quietly without harming others, he learned magic, made friends who treated him like a brother, and spent the most beautiful time of his life.

For this reason, no matter how difficult life is, he is still willing to walk on the path of justice all his life and never fall into darkness.

"Headmaster, do you have anything to ask us for help?" Sirius asked directly, "Remus and I are very happy to serve you." ”

"No, no, no." Dumbledore shook his head and smiled, "I'm here to find little Mr. Black." ”

Daniel looked up.

"Little Mr. Black." Dumbledore turned his head and said in a serious tone, "I would like to invite you to take up the position of Professor of Muggle Studies at Hogwarts. ”

Daniel froze.

He had thought many times before about the purpose of Dumbledore's visit, perhaps for Sirius and Lupin; Maybe it's for the savior; Maybe it's for the project that I've been doing a lot of recently, but I never expected that I was looking for myself to be a professor.

"Hey, Headmaster, I'm not bad either! You can't be biased and just look for Daniel......"

Before Daniel could react, Sirius shouted first, and he boasted to himself, "I think that Defence Against the Dark Arts professor is a good fit for me, would you like to hire me too?" ”

Dumbledore looked at him helplessly, and replied with a smile, "I'm sorry, Siris. However, the current professor is very good, and there is no need to change people for the time being. ”

Remus smiled and tugged at Sirius, stopping him from messing around.

"I didn't expect you to make such an invitation."

At this time, Daniel also came to his senses, and he first said in a tone of disbelief.

Immediately afterwards, he said regretfully: "Really, although it is a great honor to receive such an invitation, I have to refuse you." ”

(Sirius screams: That's Hogwarts, you refuse?) ）

"May I ask why?" Dumbledore asked calmly.

"The reason is simple." Daniel replied calmly, "Hogwarts can't afford to invite me. ”

He hesitated for a moment and explained, "I'll tell you the truth, I'm currently busy with my business on the other side of Diagon Alley. To do this, I have to do my best to make more money to secure the wages and benefits of my employees. So, even though it's a great honor to teach at Hogwarts, I can't promise you. ”

"It's really a shame." Dumbledore sighed slightly, "There are too few people in the wizarding world who really know about Muggles. Even fewer wizards were able to maintain a fair stance towards Muggles, most of them based on scripts, and the textbooks were compiled many years ago. As this went on slowly, I was worried that wizards would learn less and less about Muggles, and eventually they would not know anything. Only ...... remained. Prejudice and rumors. ”

"If ......," Daniel looked at the dutiful old man, thought for a moment, and tentatively offered a suggestion, "if you don't mind, I can actually introduce you to a very good and experienced teacher, who I believe is competent and competent enough for the position of Muggle professor." ”

"Of course, I am very happy to have such an excellent teacher." Dumbledore replied, but at the same time, he asked keenly, "But you seem to have concerns?" ”

"Yes, because he's not a wizard, he's a Muggle." Daniel replied.
