So sometimes there are cases where magic with different levels of intensity in the same series is classified as black magic and white magic respectively. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Even at different times, the two will be reversed.

Of course, with a level of magic like a "Horcrux", it must be proper black magic.

Although he was not good at soul magic, Dumbledore still figured out some subtleties from the few Horcrux remains he obtained from Fang Yan. But with what he knew, he couldn't safely remove the remnant fragment from Harry Potter's body.

So that's why Dumbledore had to come here today and ask his old friend Nick Lemay for help.

Walking through the crowds, Dumbledore took Harry Potter down the streets for a long time before finally stopping in front of a shop.

"Here we are."

The White Wizard's deep voice woke Harry Potter, who was observing the wizards on the street with interest.

With a flush on his face, Harry pulled his attention back with some embarrassment, then looked up with the White Wizard's gaze.

"Nick...... Hut? ”

He narrowed his eyes, and as he struggled to make out the handwriting on the sign in front of the store, he couldn't help but feel a hint of surprise on his face. The name reminded him of Dumbledore's introduction to the town just now, but—

"Professor, Mr. Lemay lives here?" Harry asked, puzzled. "Didn't the book say he was living in seclusion?"

In his mind, since it is a seclusion, it is natural to find an inaccessible place to stay, and what kind of seclusion is it to live in a shop on such a busy street?

Dumbledore didn't answer Harry's question, but took a step forward to the steps of the shop, raised his hand and gently pushed open the store's door.

"Squeak-"

A dull opening and closing sound sounded softly in the ears of the two of them, and it was very inconspicuous in the slightly noisy street.

Harry looked up curiously, but before he could see anything, Dumbledore beside him had already started to move inside.

Harry hurriedly stepped along.

After following Dumbledore into the shop, Harry found that unlike the heavy and simple atmosphere of the shop, the interior of the store looked very soft and warm, and it had the illusion of returning home.

Of course, since this is a store, the main function is still to sell goods. In addition to the counter facing the doorway, there are also rows of shelves on each side of the not too spacious hall.

Harry stepped forward with some curiosity to see what was on the shelves, but before he could take a step, he was startled by the sound of a sudden ringing in his ears.

"Welcome to 'Nick's Cottage'! Do you have any needs? ”

An old and elegant female voice suddenly sounded in the store. Harry looked over the counter, only to see empty air.

Harry couldn't help but take it off and rub his eyes, and when he looked again, there was still no one behind the counter—

Could it be...... Ghost? The little savior shuddered, quickly shrunk back to the White Wizard's side, and then stared nervously at the air behind the counter.

Despite having been at Hogwarts for two years, Harry Potter is still a little unaccustomed to the presence of ghosts, ghosts, and the like. What's more, it's not Hogwarts yet - according to Ron, the ghosts that appear outside of Hogwarts are most likely terrifying!

Dumbledore watched Harry Potter's movements with some amusement, and reached out and patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, signaling that he didn't need to be so nervous.

Then under Harry Potter's gaze, Dumbledore suddenly took a step in the direction of the counter-

"Good day, Lady Eleanor!" After the wooden door cut off the hustle and bustle outside, Dumbledore's deep voice was even more gentle and powerful. "It's an honor to see you again after so many years!"

There seemed to be a moment of silence behind the counter at Dumbledore's words, and then, under Harry's astonished gaze, a small figure suddenly poked its head out from behind the counter.

"Dwarves?"

"Dumbledore?"

Harry couldn't help but let out a low cry at the same time as the figure behind the counter. Then the former smiled wryly at the latter's and Dumbledore's gaze of reproach.

"It's a dwarf...... No wonder I only heard a voice and didn't see anyone just now! Harry grimaced, trying not to look so weak at the dwarf behind the counter, but the curiosity in his eyes was still evident.

This was the first time he had seen a legendary creature like a dwarf, and he was inevitably a little curious and excited.

Unlike Professor Flitwick, who is said to have some dwarven blood at Hogwarts, the dwarven lady who appears in front of Harry and Dumbledore at this moment seems to be more in line with the dwarves depicted in the legend.

Short and child-like height, stubby but powerful limbs, and a rough hairstyle that was scattered behind his head and simply braided into small braids...... Every feature that appears on the lady looks like the dwarven depicted in biographical fiction.

The only thing that surprised Harry was that the dwarven lady had a delicate face that was very incompatible with her figure.

Yes, delicate!

Despite his age, Harry could tell from the few marks left on her face that the dwarven lady was definitely worthy of the adjective "delicate" when she was younger.

And the traces of time have added elegance and atmosphere to this dwarven lady's face.

Fortunately, to Harry's relief, the dwarven lady named Eleanor didn't seem to mean to reproach him for being rude. It was only after glancing at Harry that she greeted Dumbledore warmly.

The two seem to be old friends, and the words are full of emotion and memories of the past years. However, it seemed that because of Harry by his side, the conversation between the two was almost to the point, and did not go any further.

This made Harry, who had quietly pricked up his ears and tried to capture the information on the sidelines, couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

After a while, Dumbledore and his dwarven friends seemed to be done with each other, and the conversation finally shifted to Harry on the side.

"Eleanor, this is Harry, Harry Potter! You should know. Dumbledore told the Dwarven Lady. Then he turned to Harry and introduced the Dwarven Lady, "Harry, this is Lady Eleanor, and she is Nick's butler...... And most importantly, assistants! ”
