Rose replaced punishment with carrots, lettuce, and boiled beans, and she felt that it was more useful than spanking him as Red insisted on chewing his hated food thirty times before swallowing it with a bitter face.

Since the diary had been turned into a normal notebook for unknown reasons, Paise directly asked Dumbledore to ask Azkaban to see if Tom was still there.

"I'm not offended, sir, but I think any prison has loopholes." She said solemnly.

Dumbledore promised to write to Azkaban: "But they won't write back to me until after Christmas, when everyone will be home for the holidays." ”

There is nothing to be done, all governments are the same.

When she was about to take Red to buy a Christmas tree, Dumbledore invited them to Hogwarts for Christmas.

"The students all went home for the holidays and very few stayed. We had plenty of rooms, and, Tomford, Principal Duppert, had a good impression of him, and after hearing that you were his wife, he was very eager to see you. Dumbledore said as he rubbed his monocle of crystal glasses.

"We are more than happy to accept such an invitation!" Pauss decided to thank Principal Duppet for his kindness.

Dumbledore smiled and said, "That's great, actually a lot of people remember Tom." Including Slytherin Headmaster Horace Sgollahhorn, who was not like the average Slytherin, he had no prejudice against Muggles. ”

Rose thought to herself about what clothes she would bring in line with her status as a sad widow.

"Actually...... "Dumbledore," Dumbledore whispered closer to her, "if you don't mind, the school worker needs a special service for the schoolgirls." Stay in the castle, and I can earn you twenty-five Galleons a week. ”

"You're so good!" Grace hugged the cute old man, "You know, I don't have a job right now, and Rhett, I don't have any money!" She was ashamed to say it, completely forgetting about Tom's wallet.

"Okay, can I leave today?" Dumbledore said that he liked the girl who knew exactly what to do and when, without those strange insistences. He sometimes couldn't help but wonder if she was a wizard, which academy would be right for her? Gryffindor children can be awkward at times, Ravenclaw is a bit high-minded and ignorant, Hufflepuff is always confused, and Slytherin is insidious and hypocritical.

- It seems to ...... Still like Slytherin.

Dumbledore shook his head, she was not born to be sane and intelligent, so she didn't have a Slytherin megalomania. But how did a girl of her age become like this? What has she been through? This kind of taste that has been cultivated over the years is not something that can be learned.

"Please sit here and have a cup of tea, and I'll clean it up in no time!" Rose flew back to the bedroom, all she had was two wizard suitcases, which she had bought from Diagon Alley, and which could hold an entire wardrobe of clothes. She's used to it, so she can pick up her luggage and walk away at any time.

When she came out with her suitcase, Dumbledore had just eaten a piece of cherry cake, and when he saw that she had packed it up, he looked at the rest of the cake with regret and said, "Okay, we can go now." ”

"Rhett, you hold the cat, don't forget the dog." In order to cultivate Rhett's sense of responsibility, Paose gave him all the small animals in the house, including grooming, feeding, and bathing, which Red hated at first, but later she found out that he would help his own cats when they fought with the cats outside.

Rhett is very good at picking up the family's big cat, and when he feeds it, it is now the size of a puppy.

"Doge." He whistled, and the big yellow dog on the living room carpet immediately wagged its little pig-like tail to his side.

The cat's name is Kate, the dog's name is Dog, and he really didn't take them seriously at first, but now it's different.

Through the fireplace, they arrived at Hogwarts, and when they heard that they would be staying here in the future, Red only pouted and smiled, but Paoth knew that he was pleased, because he touched the big cat in his arms and said, "Kate, let you eat fish cutlet tonight!" He used to let the cat catch mice or birds on his own, and even wanted it to catch pirate children, but after the pirates chased him and pecked him all afternoon, it was Pauss who saved him from the pirates with his afternoon snack.

Paoth gave the tidying up of the room to Red, changed into a fitting outfit and followed Dumbledore to meet Headmaster Duppet, who got the job after crying wet two handkerchiefs in the headmaster's room, and it was much better than expected, she was in charge of dealing with some minor problems with female students. The job was very easy and well paid, with thirty-five gold gallons a week, and the school paid for the work clothes, accommodation and food.

At dinner, Dumbledore introduced her and Red to the other professors in the school, and he pointed to a middle-aged wizard with a beard and a shy belly, and said, "This is Professor Sgrahorn, and Tom was his head of the house when he was in school." ”

The witch who was eating lamb chops quickly wiped his mouth with a napkin, and when he came up, he gave Baosi a powerful hug: "Dear child! He looked Pauche up and down, "Tom is a student I really like, he's impressive. "It's like saying, 'I don't see Tom marrying a woman like you.'" But he's not annoying, like a hospitable shopkeeper, and you'll even buy something you don't need in the store to repay him.

Paose and Red sat down at the same table with the professors, and Professor Sgollahhorn was obviously very fond of Tom as a student, and when he knew that Red was Tom's child, he sat down next to him and talked to him all the time, and the two had a great time.

Possibly seeing that Pauth had been looking at Sgollahhorn, Dumbledore thought she was worried about Red and said, "Try this little lamb chop...... You don't have to worry about Red, Sgollahhorn is a very timid person. He whispered next to her.

Pauss couldn't help but laugh, and when she looked over again with an uncollected smile, Sgollahhorn raised her glass and saluted her, "Red is so cute!" Can I call you that, Rose? ”

Rose nodded, and he continued, "Can you let him come and play with me during the day?" Oh, I really like him, he's such a clever little thing. As he spoke, he slyly made eye contact with Red.

The two of them seem to have formed an alliance in a short period of time.

Sgollahhorn said, "He'll definitely come to Slytherin in the future!" I can't wait! ”

Rhett picked up a piece of chicken thigh and put it in his mouth, saying, "Unfortunately, I want to go to Ravenclaw." I think I'm perfect for there. ”

Paose bowed her head, she had told him that if he couldn't get into Ravenclaw, he wasn't smart enough.

"Ravenclaw, of course, isn't bad either." Sgollahhorn took a sip of his wine, smiled at Dean Ravenclaw next door, and said, "But I think it's right for you to be a Slytherin, there's no doubt about it!" Your father, Tom is also a Slytherin, and he also served as a prefect. He winked at Red mysteriously, "I can show you a picture of him." ”

"Tom has a picture?" Pauss said in surprise.

Sgollahhorn immediately turned to look at her: "Of course, dear, you can come along, Tom was very popular back then." But he belongs to you after all, those beautiful schoolgirls already knew about it, and I'm afraid you will receive a lot of 'gifts' on your wedding day. ”

"I'm more than happy to." Rose said.

After dinner, everyone was lively for a while, and Red was very clever enough to take out his wand in front of the professors, and of course he wouldn't admit that he had learned a lot of spells. Sgollahhorn said that he would give Red a toy wand with which he could cast some simple magic, and after saying that, he said to Paus, "Dear, don't worry, that wand is very safe, and can only emit small sparks and stars and the like." He looked at Rhett and said lovingly, "Sooner or later, he'll have to learn how to use a wand." ”

"Thank you, sir, for this wonderful gift." Pauss said politely, and Rhett next to her tried to give her a look, and she didn't debunk his little tricks.

The next day, Rose began to work. It happened to be the Christmas holiday, and there were only a dozen students and two or three girls who stayed for the holiday, so she could slowly adapt to it.

Red really got along with Sgollahhorn, and he had become the first professor Dumbledore liked. He now goes to his office every day to hear him talk about the 'little secrets of wizarding nobility'. Sgollahhorn had a lot of students, and almost all of those students remembered him after they left school, and Red loved to hear him talk about those students, and when he learned that his goal was to become Minister of Magic, Sgollahhorn laughed and said, "Oh, little Rhett, you're going to make it, I promise!" ”

Sgollahhorn is very tactful, although he is a Slytherin, but almost no one in the school hates him, and under his leadership, the relationship between Slytherin House and the other three houses is not as incompatible as Pauss, but everyone agrees that if you need a warrior as a friend, then Gryffindor, if you need a learned friend, then go to Ravenclaw, if you need a loyal friend, Hufflepuff has the door open for you, if you need a wise friend, only Slytherin.

She was so surprised, and Dumbledore thought it was strange, he didn't understand why Paucus was so wary of Slytherin, and how did she think the students didn't like Slytherin? Tom couldn't have told her that, and he was a very popular Slytherin himself.

Unable to explain, she could only remain silent.

"Silk, taste the mead." Dumbledore poured her a glass of honey-colored wine, "What do you think?" He asked.

Bao Si took a sip: "Very good, I think I can buy some and put it at home, is there the kind of wine bottle that can prevent children from stealing wine bottles?" ”

"I think there should be, but I'm not asking you that." He put down his glass, and she had to follow and put it on the table.

"I want to know, is there any inconvenience for you living in the castle during this time?"

"No, everything is fine." Paose looked at Dumbledore strangely, was he worried that she, a Muggle, was not used to living among a bunch of wizards? She immediately assured, "Very good, in fact, it has never been so good." Because she felt very safe here, she didn't have to worry about Tom coming to her house in the middle of the night for the first time.

"Okay, okay." Dumbledore seemed to have something to say, and he took another sip from his glass, as if suddenly remembered, "You know Hagrid, don't you?" ”

Paucus reacted immediately, she was really interested in the hunting ground guard. Because she knew what Tom had done to him. Although he was tall, his face was very young, and he looked like a boy in his twenties, and he was nervous when she was gone.

Maybe this Dumbledore looks a little weird?

He ...... Very tall. Pauss gestured, as if she was just curious: "But he seems to be a good man." He took care of both Dogg and the pirates, and he made a nest for the little owls, fearing that they would freeze. I wanted to thank him and made some cakes for him. "It's just a simple social visit, and she gives each professor some small gifts, and she makes small snacks or something.

Dumbledore looked relieved.

"It's okay, I'm just asking if you're used to it. Well, I take my leave. "Dumbledore is gone. Ross had no idea what he was here for.

When Red came back in the evening, he was now excited every day, and it was completely different from running to the castle every day to play and staying here. He is now passionate about discovering the secrets of the castle, and he likes to talk to portraits and even to armor because he thinks they are alive.

Of course, he also found ghosts, but when he learned that they were left behind in fear of death, he was not interested in them.

When Dumbledore asked him why, he said, "I have no interest in cowards." "Probably because of this, he was always quick to respond to the ghost's offense against him, and Peeves didn't dare to trouble him after he stuck to the wall two or three times, and even Barrow the Bloody began to walk around him.

After Christmas, the students all returned, and they noticed that two people had arrived in the castle. Now that Baosi is already working here, those grievances are naturally gone. And to Paul's surprise, Slytherin was less opposed, all because of Sgollahhorn, who praised Tom as his proud disciple, and of course, was deeply saddened by his death. Red also showed his Slytherin credentials, having already received a 'toy wand' from Sgollahhorn, but Paise thought it was a real wizard's wand. Armed with a wand, Red has never been polite to those who are not good, and the Grace Medical Wing has frequently treated many of the students he has sent in. It was terrible, she almost feared they would be kicked out, but no one dared to say that they were sent in by an eight-year-old.

But Red was still taught a lesson by Pauss and Dumbledore, and even Sgollahhorn thought he was not calm enough.

"Dear, if you're going to be a Minister of Magic, it's important not to let people grab your pigtails."

Seeing that Red nodded sympathetically, Paoss began to think that Sgollahhorn was indeed a Slytherin, and no matter how much he looked like a harmless good old man, he was still a Slytherin.

On this day, Red suddenly came back early, and he went to bed without dinner. Baosi was worried, but she didn't take the initiative to ask him, but went to bed after cleaning up.

After she turned off the lights, Red suddenly whispered to her, "Mom, do you think there will be a big snake in the castle?" ”
