Chapter 15: Meeting
"Daisy, are you sure the appointment is 2 p.m., it's 1:58 a.m." Jack looked a little anxious.
"Don't worry, Professor Dumbledore is punctual. Daisy was a little excited, because it had been a long time since she had seen Professor Dumbledore, since she had married a Muggle, Jack, and had disowned her family.
Seamus replied that they had agreed to meet at 2 p.m. this afternoon, and Daisy and Jack both put aside their work for the time being, and the four of them waited together in the living room for Dumbledore's arrival.
Lupin and Daisy were very happy about Dumbledore's visit, as they both had a high level of trust in Dumbledore, but Seamus had to consider Dumbledore's intentions. He had been thinking about it countless times in his heart, what Dumbledore had come for this time, and what it would be like after the meeting.
There was a knock on the door, Jack quickly got up and went to open the door, Professor Dumbledore was standing outside the door, he was tall and thin, his silver hair and silver beard were long enough to fit into his belt, he was wearing a robe, a purple cloak that covered the ground, a pair of bright blue eyes shining behind his half-moon glasses, and a long nose, but twisted, it seemed to have been broken at least twice.
"I'm not late, am I?" he smiled.
At this time, the wall clock on the wall was just pointing to two o'clock.
"No, please come in. Jack invited him into the room.
The rest of the room also quickly stood up to greet her, especially Daisy, who seemed very excited. I hadn't seen Professor Dumbledore for more than ten years, and he was still the same as before, nothing had changed.
"Oh, you don't have to do that, just sit down. Dumbledore said not to be too polite.
"You're still the same as before, nothing has changed, it's like I'm still at Hogwarts. Daisy poured him a cup of tea, with some emotion.
"Daisy, you too, are as beautiful and cheerful as you were then, and it seems that you have had a great time all these years. Dumbledore said.
"It's true, I have a husband who loves me very much, and a wonderful son. Daisy was very happy to hear Dumbledore's compliment.
Seamus looked at Dumbledore's blue eyes, as if he had the power to see through people's hearts, and even with the protection of the mind, he could not feel at ease.
They were all sitting on the couch, Lupin was across from Dumbledore, the Seamus were in the middle of them, a plate of hard fruit candy on the coffee table, and some snacks.
"Professor Dumbledore, what are you doing here, Seamus is not old enough to go to school. Daisy asked him why.
"Ah, I'm here this time. Dumbledore was picking out his favorite flavor among the fruit candies, as if he had just reacted, "Mainly because Lupin told me that there was a talented little wizard here, and I wanted to see what kind of wizard he was full of." ”
"It's a pleasure to be on your radar, Seamos, come and say hello to Professor Dumbledore. Daisy felt honored.
"Hello, Professor Dundedon. Seamus expressed his confusion as soon as he came up, "I heard that you are the greatest white wizard right now, and I have only just started learning magic, and I haven't even gone to Hogwarts yet, why are you paying attention to me?"
Dumbledore chewed a piece of fruit candy in his mouth and said vaguely, "Because there's a person here who deserves my attention." ”
While savoring the taste in his mouth, he asked, "Where did you buy these hard candies, I want to buy some of them too, they taste so good." ”
Daisy hurriedly said, "I guessed that I would like it, and I can bring some back when the time comes." ”
"Thank you then. Dumbledore looked happy and smiled.
"But Professor, I don't understand what I have to pay attention to, and although Remus says I'm gifted, I don't think it's genius either. In other words, you must have seen a lot of geniuses. Seamus was a little puzzled, paused a little and said, "If you want to talk about special magic, there are not a few people who have learned it, and I really can't think of a reason." ”
Dumbledore said calmly, "Seamo, allow me to call you that. First of all, you may not realize how outstanding this talent is. This particular kind of magic is what I call innate magic, and the first person I've ever met to master it was at the age of 14. And you're not even 11 years old now. ”
"But..."
"But you don't think your talent is that outstanding. Dumbledore smiled.
"Yes. ”
The long life experience made Dumbledore more able to see the minds of others.
"While talent magic comes about because of talent, it doesn't depend entirely on talent. Dumbledore picked up another piece of hard fruit candy and put it in his mouth and said, "What influenced it was that he recognized his talent and had a strong desire to use it. ”
It turns out that this is the case, no wonder I can learn it so quickly, because my talent is clearly written on the ability panel. Seamus thought to himself, others need to understand themselves, and they only need to open the panel, and the gap between them is simply unreasonable.
"I see, so when did you learn the magic of natural talent, was you 14 years old?" Seamus was a little curious about this, at least he surpassed Dumbledore in some way.
Dumbledore looked at him with blue eyes, through half-moon lenses, and smiled, "Well, when I was sixteen years old, as for the youngest one, his name was Gellert Grindelwald. ”
When he heard this name, Seamus's heart tensed for a moment, why should I ask, Dumbledore obviously came this time to think of himself as the next Dark Lord. is still stupidly going up, and I don't know how I will die when the time comes.
"Don't worry, not everyone with talent will become a Dark Lord. Dumbledore looked at Seamus and smiled, "I'm here because Lupin's life has changed a lot, and I wanted to help him, but he didn't want to, but I can't offer him a job, so I'm here to express my gratitude." ”
Daisy certainly knew who Grindelwald was, it was the first Dark Lord, and it was no exaggeration to say that Voldemort could only be regarded as a terrorist in a small corner compared to him. Grindelwald's war covered the whole world, and although he hardly targeted wizards, believing that every drop of wizards' blood was precious, it had to be said that he was more feared than Voldemort.
It's just that she doesn't understand why, all of a sudden, Professor Dumbledore would say something like that, you're just talking gibberish. Almost everyone knows that Dumbledore is the greatest white wizard of the moment, powerful and full of wisdom, but he often says crazy things that no one can understand.
Seamus glanced at the psychic guard in his hand, without the slightest reaction, Dumbledore definitely didn't use the Regent, but he could still easily see everyone's thoughts, and he could only say that he was worthy of being an old man. Fortunately, his relationship with Lupin made him feel like Voldemort back then, otherwise this would not be the case this time.
"Where, where, Professor Dumbledore has won an award. Daisy looked a little embarrassed.
Lu Ping smiled and said: "Usually, this child, except for being a little naughty and mischievous, is generally very kind. ”
He apparently understood Dumbledore's words and helped Seamus with good words, as it seemed to him that it was clearly a loving family. Whether it is between husband and wife, or between parents and children, he feels envious, because as a werewolf, he has no way and cannot get married, to harm others, and he will be lonely in his life.
Dumbledore didn't say anything about their words, his blue eyes looked at Daisy from Lupin and finally fell on Seamus, "And those elves, they are extremely greedy creatures, be careful when trading with them." ”
"Professor Dumbledore," Seamus reacted from the panic just now, after all, it looked like the dust had settled, "Do you know why the elves need rubies?"
"That's just the goblin himself. Dumbledore said he didn't know.
After saying that, he stood up and said goodbye to them, "I'm going back first, after all, school is about to start, and there are a lot of young wizards coming, and I'll be waiting for you at Hogwarts next year." ”
Dumbledore walked out of the door with the hard fruit that Daisy had wrapped for him, and closed the door with him, leaving only the four of them sitting in the living room.
"Seamo, Professor Dumbledore is still very optimistic about you, you have to study hard, and when you go to Hogwarts next year, you must become a Gryffindor. Daisy said to him with a smile.
"Okay, okay, no problem, I'll keep trying. Seamus replied with a smile, since Daisy didn't see what Dumbledore meant, it was better not to let her think about it.
Seamus, who returned to the room, lay on the bed, feeling that the pressure brought by Professor Dumbledore was only known when he really faced it. From beginning to end, the rhythm of the whole conversation was firmly grasped by him, and he was just following his train of thought. If it weren't for the fact that he had long thought that he would not be the next Voldemort, today's conversation might not have been so friendly.
To outsiders, these things may really look like a careerist. Gain power, grab riches, and let the uninformed see that you really want to be the next Dark Lord. It was only because Dumbledore saw love for others in himself that he thought I couldn't go to extremes.
I do love Daisy and Jack, not only because of the memories and feelings I inherited from Seamus, but also because of the love my parents have for me these days.
Thinking about these things, Seamus felt a burst of relaxation, these things that fight for IQ are really not suitable for me, if I can beat Dumbledore, a long-range fireball is more enjoyable than anything else.
