"I agree. ”

To Dumbledore's surprise, Gawain nodded neatly and agreed to the admission, which made several very convincing reasons he had already hatched seem to hit the air.

"Mr. White, I'm glad you're on board, but I'd like to know why you suddenly changed your mind?"

Dumbledore tucked away the beard he had fallen on the table with his free left hand, sat up straight, and asked very seriously.

"Because of curiosity. I saw the magic. ”

After a brief thought, Gawain replied.

Intellectually speaking, this is indeed a "luxury" path, to abandon the original plan and devote itself to a world that is completely unknown, and even does not know the future.

He is not an opportunist, nor is he a "naïve" little fool like many of his peers who ignore the conditions of reality.

But he was genuinely curious.

Curiosity though kills cats.

But life without curiosity is too boring.

"I'm an idealist through and through, can't I? It's a big deal that the wizarding world can't get along, so I'm going to let Colin keep it, and at most stop touching his wine cabinet collection. ”

Gawain made up his mind that he would never waver again.

"Haha, hahaha, Mr. Gauvin White, you're an interesting little wizard. ”

As if guessing what Gawain was thinking, Dumbledore laughed lightly, and even took a piece of golden candy from the small bowl and swallowed it.

"As the letter says, the new semester starts on September 1st. I'll ask Professor McGonagall to take you home later, and she'll show you how to get to Diagon Alley to get the things you need for school. So... Uh, do you have any more questions?"

After Dumbledore finished speaking, he was about to get up and send Gawain away, but suddenly saw that Gawain was still looking at him seriously, and couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, and asked softly.

But if Colin was here at this time, he would only get up and send Gawain away without hesitation.

Because it only means one thing.

- Knock on the bamboo.

"Dumbledore first. Professor, I think we still have some room to discuss some of the policies I have for admission to your school, don't we?

Or to put it more commonly... Scholarships?"

A hint of cunning flashed in Gawain's eyes.

Ever since Colin used his room as a child to hide private money and "men's pleasures", he has mastered this negotiation skill.

Through "frequent" practice and the study of some psychology-related materials, he has been able to accurately grasp the psychological bottom line of the other party.

"But it is the school's policy to only provide financial support to students who are in financial difficulty... Okay, I guess we do have some aspects that we can explore?"

Dumbledore hesitated for a moment, but sat back in his chair under Gawain's gaze.

After all, he did have some justification.

Although Gawain didn't know, and even if he did, he couldn't pursue it, it didn't mean that he was doing the right thing.

Half an hour later.

"Well, I guess we'll get to that for today, Mr. White. Professor McGonagall will take you home and help you and your parents explain it all. ”

Dumbledore rubbed his temples with his right hand and sighed, looking very tired.

"Yes, thank you for your understanding, Professor Dumbledore. See you when school starts. ”

Gawain stood up, bowed respectfully, turned around, and walked towards a lady in a black robe with a serious expression who was waiting for him outside the door. He had an extra cloth pocket in his hand compared to when he came, and it was his trophy.

The pockets are quite large and heavy, and you need to carry them with both hands.

The vaulted headmaster's office was calm again.

"Albus, why didn't you use that trick just now? ”

A somewhat oily man's voice suddenly sounded, and his words were full of sarcasm.

"Phineas, you may not believe it, but I have a feeling that he will find my gaze. ”

Dumbledore shook his head and said.

"How is that possible! And when did you know about those Muggle stuff again?"

The man couldn't believe that although he didn't like Dumbledore, he was sure of his other's magic skills.

That is the strongest white wizard in the world, even in recent centuries, but a quasi-young wizard who has not studied magic for a day will be aware of his intentions.

"I never knew until just now. ”

Dumbledore hesitated for a moment before replying, he had never encountered such a contradictory situation.

Ideas are like blank slates that can be easily consulted, and he did.

But Dumbledore had such a ridiculous feeling, once the other party focused on thinking, his small movements would definitely be noticed.

"Not to mention that there will be that child again this year... Hopefully it's not a bad decision. ”

Dumbledore sighed again, raised the pink porcelain cup, and poured the already cold tea into his mouth.

While an unnoticed conversation was taking place in the vaulted Headmaster's office, Professor McGonagall had already left Hogwarts with Gawain and made her way to his door.

"Mr. White, regarding your 'accident' yesterday, I have to deal with your parents' memory. They will only remember that they were supposed to attend your birthday party, but you had to go to Hogwarts for a campus tour. ”

Professor McGonagall, whose full name is Minerva McGonagall, stood on the steps and said to Gawain with a serious expression.

"The wizarding world is much more dangerous than you think, and a magical riot as serious as yesterday's, if I hadn't changed my mind and come here in person, it would probably have endangered your life.

I hope that you will not make such dangerous attempts, at least until school starts. Otherwise.."

She continued, as if she wanted to describe some tragedy to frighten Gawain, but she couldn't bear to hurt a child's vision of magic.

But she quickly put her expression away and put her wand back in the pocket of her robe.

Both she and Dumbledore explained yesterday's accident as a magical riot in Gawain's agitation, a manifestation of his talent as a wizard.

But Gawain is sure that his "accident" yesterday was definitely not an unconscious riot.

He could clearly feel his state, it was a wonderful feeling like "time stopped".

"And that word, Khronos... Kronos, the Titans of Time..."

Gawain secretly guessed, but didn't say anything, just nodded earnestly, indicating that he understood what Professor McGonagall meant.

"Are you ready? Let's go inside. ”

Professor McGonagall asked Gawain with an almost invisible smile on her lips.

She enjoyed the process of introducing young wizards to the wizarding world, and it was heartily satisfying to see their surprised expressions and smiles.

It's like seeing your past self.
