Chapter 24: The Price of Friendship
The dinner was a pleasure, with performances from the Headless Riders Club and the Skull Dance Troupe until everyone had eaten with a bulging stomach and the last dessert disappeared from the plate.
"You can just call me Mentor." Cyril said this to Thor before he got up. Thor smiled and called out "Mentor". The boy hasn't changed his voice yet, and the end of this sentence "mentor" is still a little up, which sounds pretty good.
"Saul said that Headmaster Dumbledore has something to ask me for. I just wanted to ask you a few things, as well as meet Thor's good friends at Hogwarts. The Lunaris School isn't as young as Thor. There are other things that don't fit here, so how about we go to the principal's office? Cyril saw Dumbledore's expression of wanting to speak and stopped, and took the initiative to bring up the matter.
"Absolutely. Please go this way. Cyril glanced at Thor, and Thor stood up and walked quickly to Cyril's side, and the other elders of the Moon Shadow School also got up and walked behind Thor.
Dumbledore motioned for Audio-Technica and Draco to follow him, and the Deans told the prefects to bring the remaining students back. The other professors followed them to the rector's office.
The portraits along the way saluted them, and even Peeves honestly floated in the air in salute.
Well, today's headmaster's office password is finally not a sweet tooth, but a normal "home away from home" that can no longer be normal.
Phoenix Fawkes was the only creature that could take a leisurely moment, combing its feathers and keeping the pride of a magical creature.
Successive generations of principals looked at these unfamiliar faces curiously and welcomed their arrival.
"What to drink? Tea, coffee, or lemon juice? ”
"No, we brought our own drinks. Moon Shadow Dew. Cyril took out a bottle of clear liquid from the book on his waist, poured it into a glass and looked like ordinary water, but after drinking it, he dispelled the fatigue of his body and regained his spirit.
It's better than an invigorating potion, but in the Lunaris School, it's just a normal drink, so there's no need to worry about any resistance.
"Before I get down to business, I want to say sorry to Saul. When your magic exploded, it was I who suppressed you for the second outbreak before the Ministry of Magic arrived, and sent you to St. Mungo. I'm sorry to have decided your path in magic without your consent. Cyril put down his glass, looked at Saul, and finished sentence by sentence.
Thor was stunned, "If I don't have you at that time, what will happen if I break out a second time?" ”
"You will be torn apart by yourself, along with your soul." Cyril sat forward.
Thor thought for a moment, but he still didn't remember the scene when he first erupted, "So, you don't have to apologize to me. On the contrary, I would like to thank you for showing me the right path and giving me no worries. ”
Dumbledore watched the interaction between Thor and Cyril, and he was so envious in his heart! Look at Harry again, he gets into trouble every day, and he doesn't study well.
"Alright. Headmaster Dumbledore, there should be a place at Hogwarts where students can practice spells! Take us there, and if you want to be Thor's friends, you don't just pay lip service. "Cyril didn't even watch the performance of the seventh graders!
Miscalculated!
Dumbledore's heart hung in the air again.
Naturally, there is such a large classroom, which is for the fifth and seventh grade students, who need to take the wizard level exam, and the actual casting of spells is also a very important subject.
In this large classroom, there is only a row of dummies, a pile of soft cushions, and tables for deformation. There are no students practicing here today, and they know very well that if they come here at their current level, they will be disgraced to the school.
Cyril didn't say any nonsense, and came up and asked to hit those cushions with the strongest attack spell, not limited to black magic and white magic. Therefore, Draco used magic like "Oolong Out of the Hole", which was all licensed.
And it was Cyril himself who scored them.
The next thing is to defeat the dummies. The movements of these dummies are still very flexible, and they are not inferior to an adult wizard at all. The so-called defeat is to let those dummies fall, four people, four dummies, more than enough.
However, it was not that simple, and Cyril also took out an hourglass and gave them only half an hour. In his eyes, this is already forgiving enough.
Harry was the fastest to finish, followed by Draco, then Ron, and finally Hermione.
The next item is a test paper, and the questions on this test paper are mainly herbs, potions, spells, and magical creatures.
It's all the most basic questions, and Thor also has the same test paper, but it's a hundred times more difficult than them, and the all-psychic test paper also requires the analysis of a soul magic, which is still the kind that Thor hasn't learned.
Time, it's all the same, an hour.
The professors also received a copy of Saul's exam papers, in English. After Dumbledore read it, he was worried, and the seventh year students couldn't answer some of the questions on it! No, it doesn't work.
"I can give you a perfect score, Thor." Cyril glanced at the alarm clock, forty-five minutes had passed.
Over there, the four of them were racking their brains to come up with something.
"Alright, you've done your best. It seems that you still need to read more books and practice more spells. If you want to be Thor's friend, just like that, you can't do it. Cyril looked at the large blank test paper and gave this assessment.
Draco cocked his head, "Thank you." I'm not going to give up, and Saul said he's going to take me on a tour. ”
"Then you have to work harder, and Thor will spend the whole summer in Northern Europe." Nordics, remnants of the Viking Age, and beautiful auroras, legend has it that meditating on the aurora can change your magic and make your wand more closely connected to you.
Can you not seize such a good opportunity?
"I will, sir." Draco sat down.
Clearly, Draco passed the test. The rest of the trio hasn't come to their senses yet. Cyril comforted them at the right time, "We will stay here for seven days, occupy this classroom, give lectures to the students of Hogwarts, and guide them in actual combat." No matter how well you learn from books, you can't use them. Once you've figured it out, you can come to me at any time. ”
Dumbledore had no objection at all, he was too late to rejoice! At this moment, so many powerful and patient wizards have been parachuted, if Voldemort dares to come, it is guaranteed that he will not be able to get out!
Speaking of Voldemort, Dumbledore remembered Harry's matter, "Can you take a look for Harry, Saul said, there is something wrong with Harry's soul." ”
Cyril naturally knew about it, "That's what I'm here for, for that coward Voldemort." ”
Dumbledore wanted to cry without tears, it seems that Thor's evaluation of Voldemort is the same, sure enough, a good mentor is needed to pour chicken soup. Looking at Saul like this, he must have been poured chicken soup.
Well, the first step in the Savior's Cultivation Plan is to pour chicken soup.
Next, it wasn't time for Thor to listen, Cyril took out a meniscus pendant and handed it to Thor "They gave you a birthday present, from tonight, you can sleep well, there will be no more lessons in your dreams." Now, it's time for you to go back to sleep. ”
Thor took the pendant, and after making an impeccable salute, retreated to the door. Draco, who came out next, breathed a sigh of relief, "Your mentor is really stressing me out. Thor, now that your mentor has spoken, it's time for you to take me to your magic workshop. ”
"Okay!" Thor let Draco walk with him. The young people are full of spirit, even if the road ahead is eternal darkness, they will be stars in the darkness.
