Chapter 4 Kaka
"I guessed you'd come to me."
After a while, the old man in front of Iger and the two of them leaned back on the sofa and looked at the two, Newt pointed to the Daily Prophet on the table: "Six streets have been blown up, no casualties, obviously you can control him, if you do it properly, I think there should be no problem." ”
"Very well, I think Mr. Morissus will be much more at ease with your words." Dumbledore nodded and looked at Egg, "This is Newt Scamander, who knows Mooran very well, and he should be able to help you in your situation." ”
"Don't be like that, Dumbledore, in fact I don't know much." Newt shook his head: "That thing is too powerful, it's better to be able to control it, and it turns out that it's not something that can't be controlled." ”
The older Newt looked a little honest, and Iger didn't know if he was like that when he was younger.
Immediately Egger felt as if something was drilling in his chest, Egger hurriedly pressed his chest, reached out and pulled it out of his robe, and a small fluffy thing shaped like a platypus was pulled out by Egg.
"Ah, this is our sniffing cub, this little thing is very mischievous and always runs out when my son is not looking." Newt looked at Iger and laughed.
Egger's eyes sparkled and he looked at Sniff: "The one who is said to be a treasure hunter?" ”
"Yes, Sniff likes shiny things, like gold coins, diamonds, silver, and even silver coins." Newt was very pleased with Egger's reaction, as if he had seen himself as a young man.
"This little thing..."Iger looked at the sniffer in his hand with fascination, "How does it taste?" ”
Newt was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Egger in a daze, his good cultivation made him a little overwhelmed, and for a while, the hundred-year-old man was helpless like a child, and then looked at Dumbledore as if asking for help.
Dumbledore looked at Egg and shook his head, and slowly spoke slowly with a serious face, Newt looked at Dumbledore's appearance and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Actually, I'm going to tell you Egger, sniffing isn't good," Dumbledore said in a deep voice.
Newt was once again like a rooster with his neck choked, his heart was struck, and he looked at the two in panic.
Iger looked at Newt and laughed, and looked at Newt with the meat in his hand, "Mr. Scamander, I like this sniffer very much, can you give it to me?" ”
Newt looked at Iger hesitantly, a little unsure if what Iger said was true or not.
"I promise you I will never eat it...", Iger smacked his lips.
Newt nodded slowly, but looking at his still a little uneasy, Egg felt that this joke was a bit too much, and he seemed to want to make an unbreakable oath with himself...
It's horrible...
After Iger and the others left the Scamander house, they looked at the Scamander house behind them.
"He's a very kind guy, isn't he?" Egg turned to look at Dumbledore.
"Of course, if you like magical beasts, I think you should have a kind heart." Dumbledore seemed to agree with Egg, "You'll have a good friendship with my hunting grounds. ”
"I hope so!" Egg grinned.
There was a 'pop' sound, and the two figures reappeared at Hogwarts.
As soon as he returned to the principal's office, a swarthy owl flew over from the window, and the owl looked directly at Egger, who curiously reached out and poked the Scottish round-faced fat chicken in front of him.
The round-faced fat chicken moved to the side a little unhappily, and then proudly stretched out his little paws and motioned for Egg to take the letter.
Egger opened the letter, and the round-faced fat chicken pecked lightly at Egger's hand, motioning for Egger to give him some cookies or something.
Iger whispered, "Can you get me some snacks?" ”
A small bag of green beans suddenly appeared on the table next to him.
The round-faced fat chicken took the green beans in his mouth, threw Iger a look that counted him as familiar, and flew away.
"It's Kingsley's letter." Egg looked at Dumbledore with some surprise: "He said that he helped me greet the welfare house and helped me inform Miss Aisha, Kingsley is such a good person, old Deng!" ”
"I bet you're going to ask me to fund your orphanage next, right?" Dumbledore's eagle-like eyes looked at Egg.
Egg's eyes flickered: "I said that I don't need to take care of it..."
"Honestly, Egger, those thoughts of yours aren't worth my time with a dementor." Dumbledore looked at Egger with some teasing.
Egger was suddenly embarrassed: "Is it okay?" That way I'll feel at ease. ”
"There's no reason for me to refuse a kind request, do I? No one will hate you like this, Egger. Dumbledore nodded affirmatively: "Gratitude is a virtue, that student of mine was born in a welfare institution like you, but he only learned to be selfish, in this case you can keep such a heart, to be honest Egg, you make me proud, I hope that one day, Hogwarts will be proud of you." ”
"So," Egger pondered, holding his chin, "how much are you going to donate?" ”
Dumbledore felt his heart twitch, and it seemed like all the words had been said in vain.
"Five thousand Galleons, what do you think?" Dumbledore looked at Egg.
"What about the conversion ratio?" Iger thought it sounded like a lot.
"About twenty-five thousand pounds." Dumbledore nodded.
Egger pouted: "There is really no way to be a wizard..."
Dumbledore felt like he had been hit deep in the knee...
I, Dumbledore, the most powerful white wizard in the world, have been despised by a kid from a Muggle world! And was ridiculed for being poor!
In fact, at this time, Britain was in a stage of rapid development, and there were some Muggle-born children in schools with better living standards.
One Galleon is equal to five pounds, although Galleon's purchase strength in the wizarding world is indeed strong, but in the Muggle world, the equivalent pound is obviously not enough...
However, 25,000 pounds should be able to help the welfare home survive for a long time, right?
Maybe I should learn magic as soon as possible, and then go to some Muggle man's house and give him a shot and forget about it?
"I must warn you, Mr. Moriss." Dumbledore's expression gradually became serious as he looked at Egger: "It is illegal to inflict a hurtful and aggressive attack on a Muggle without the permission of the Ministry of Magic, and I don't want a future outstanding wizard to be imprisoned in Azkaban before enrolling." ”
Egger suddenly sighed dejectedly, and couldn't help but sigh again: "Sure enough, there is no way to be a wizard, but my life is not guaranteed, and I can't decide." ”
"I'm glad you have a clear picture of the current situation." Dumbledore nodded: "Of course, as a wizard, it is also a very simple thing to make a fortune in the Muggle world, but Gringotts has set some exchange ceilings in order not to destroy the balance of exchange, and if you are really short of money, I will also allow you to earn some tuition fees in the Muggle world." ”
Dumbledore's eyes were deep, and his blue eyes seemed to have traveled through time: "I think you're going to have a completely different life, do you feel a little excited?" ”
"Actually, I miss Aisha... And, of course, by the way, you can also pick up Old Lady Hull. Iger sighed faintly, "What are the housing prices in the wizarding world?" ”
"I don't know exactly what the housing prices are, but I've lived at Hogwarts for most of my life." Dumbledore nodded, then thought for a moment, "If you're talking about Aisha Smith, I'm not mistaken, she's supposed to be the prefect of Gryffindor, and she's going to be in her seventh year this year and graduating next year." ”
"Really?" Iger looked at Dumbledore in surprise when he heard this.
"I think she must have noticed the abnormality in you, otherwise I don't think an eighteen-year-old girl would be an eight-year-old boy... What interest arises, in every sense of the word... Interest. Dumbledore laughed and looked at Egg with interest.
Egger blushed a little embarrassed and smiled awkwardly.
"In the past three years before you officially enrolled, you should have spent the last three years at Hogwarts honestly, if your silence erupts, I think the only one who can stop you so far should be me, the castle is huge, you can choose a house you like to choose to live in, how about it?" Dumbledore looked at Egg and smiled, "And I need to warn you that the Forbidden Forest is dangerous, and if you're going to go on an expedition and make a fortune, it's best to have Hagrid with you." ”
"Thank you, Professor!" Egg stood up and bowed slightly to Dumbledore, "You have helped me a lot, how can I repay you?" ”
Dumbledore froze when he heard this, looked at Egger with some concern, and said meaningfully: "Although a lot of thoughts flashed through my mind at this moment, I always felt that for you, Egg... Not getting into trouble is the best reward for me. ”
Egg felt his face darken, at least since he came out of Dumbledore's office.
What does it mean not to cause trouble is to repay? Am I that unbearable?
Reaching out and pulling out the sniff in his arms, Egg regretted that he hadn't released the little guy in Dumbledore's office.
Wandering aimlessly around the campus, the portraits around him looked at Egger curiously, and Egger also looked at the portraits around him curiously, there was no communication between them, but there was unexpected harmony.
With a soft 'snap', a short and thin figure appeared in front of Egg, with big ears like bat wings, and bowed humbly to Egg: "Good afternoon, Mr. Egger Morissus, is there anything you need Kaka to help you?" ”
"Ah, I'm still thinking about who the old man with the white beard will send to settle my food and lodging, I think I'll have an easy time with your help." Egg smiled and nodded, glancing at Kaka curiously.
"It's Kaka's honor." Kaka looked down at Egg.
Egg shook his head as he looked at the shabby and dirty broken pillowcase on Kaka's body, "First of all, I ask you to take a shower and clean up the torn pillowcase on your body." ”
Kaka looked at Iger with a touched face: "Mr. is so good to Kaka, Kaka is really touched." ”
"Don't be so exaggerated, it's just for you to take a bath..."Egger was suddenly a little numb by the house-elf in front of him, and hurriedly waved his hand: "As soon as possible, if you have magic, two or three minutes will be enough, right?" ”
Kaka nodded, and the figure faded into place.
Iger walked in the castle, feeling a little numb, the interior of Hogwarts Castle is intricate, with Egger's sense of direction, he didn't know the southeast and northwest in less than two minutes, if it wasn't for Kaka's timely appearance, Iger felt that he might starve to death in the castle.
"Now, take me to your kitchen." Iger looked at Kaka and smiled happily.
Today is the penultimate day of the end of the summer vacation at Hogwarts, but the Hogwarts kitchen is particularly lively.
"Beef slices, lamb slices!" Iger waved his wand in his hand and commanded: "Lettuce is also good, potato slices, lettuce quickly washed, who knows how to make tofu?" ”
An elf raised his little hand happily, and Egger nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, it's you, make some tofu out!" ”
"Mr. Morissus, do you need anything else for the base?" An elf holds a jar in his hand, and in the jar is a hot pot base mixed with red peppers and mutton fat peppers.
Egger stretched out his finger and dipped it in his mouth, and nodded with satisfaction: "The goods are very pure, well done, but unfortunately there are too few British spices, can you make sesame paste?" ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Another little hand was raised.
Egger waved his hand: "It's you!" Make some out! ”
"Okay Mr. Morissus!" The elf bounced and turned away.
"Call me Egger!" Iger flicked his wand and looked at the pile of ingredients in front of him: "Green onions, ginger, red dates... Well, perfectly. ”
"Mr. Egger, if you cook too much, you won't be able to eat, Professor Sprout said that wasting food is not good behavior..."Kaka stood timidly behind Egger, his big ears drooping like bat spirits.
"Wouldn't we be able to make more, and we would eat together?" Egger was stunned: "It's obviously the food you make, don't you eat it?" ”
The originally noisy kitchen suddenly fell silent, and a group of elves looked at Egg incredulously.
"We are not allowed to sit at the same table as the honorable Mr. Egger." Kaka said with a panicked expression, and humbly bowed deeply to Egg, as if the tip of his nose was about to touch the ground.
Egg looked at the elves huddled around him with expressionless faces: "I order you, go to the table, eat!" ”
Looking at a group of trembling elves sitting on the table, Egg shook his head helplessly.
Thousands of years of enslavement have left this ancient, good, and powerful creature without the dignity to even sit down at the same table with the wizards.
Egg didn't approve of Hermione's move to free the elves, but if he was to watch such a group of kind-hearted little things tremble and live in the shadow of wizards, Egg asked himself, he couldn't do it either.
One person can't change the whole, and Egger feels that the only thing he can do is make these little ones feel his kindness.
Kaka looked at the hot pot with red oil tremblingly, and the wisps of aroma coming from the pot made Kaka salivate, but when he thought of Egg beside him, Kaka felt extremely frightened.
"Is it fragrant?" Iger asked with a grin as he leaned over to Kaka.
"The food made by Mr. Egger must be very delicious." Kaka said tremblingly.
"It's a pity that there are no chopsticks here, otherwise I think it is much better to use chopsticks than to use a knife and fork." Iger sighed.
"Yes, yes!" Kaka said quickly, and hurriedly took out a large pile of chopsticks.
Egger's eyes lit up suddenly, and he laughed: "I'll teach you how to use it!" ”
