Chapter 319: College Life III
Ron scratched his head and said in disbelief; "Impossible! Although Professor Zhu spoke a little loudly, after all, he was invited by Dean Dumbledore, how could he be here to steal something! ”
"Ron, Head Dumbledore is old after all, he may have been deceived and didn't see Professor Zhu's sinister intentions. So we have to do something about it, and we can't let these bad guys get their way! ”
Hermione looked at Ron helplessly, wanting to pry his head open to see if it was empty.
To Hermione's words, Ron said unappreciatively; "Come on, we're just freshmen in the first year, and now we're going to be punished for going out at night, so what can we do! Today is also our luck, if we are caught by Filch, none of the three of us will be punished. ”
Although Hermione made a point, Ron felt that Hermione was too lenient, and this was not something that his own people should worry about at all. And as Ron complained, the three of them fell silent.
After a while, Harry Potter broke the silence first; "I also think we should do something if we don't know, but now that we know, we can't just wait. It's getting late today, and I want to wait until tomorrow after school and we'll go to Hagrid and tell him what we've found. I think as long as Hagrid knew about it, he would definitely tell Dean Dumbledore. And Hagrid came in a lot more than we freshmen. ”
Ron lowered his head, curled up on the couch, and said in a deep voice; "Harry, Hermione. You're not serious, are you? Professor Zhu is also our honorary professor, if you guess wrong, we will be in big trouble! ”
Seeing that Ron was still hesitating, Hermione and Harry exchanged glances and shook their heads in unison, obviously disappointed by Ron's timidity.
"If it's a friend, we'll go together tomorrow, if you don't treat us as friends, even if I haven't said these words!" Harry looked at Ron with Hermione standing together with a serious expression, but although the two of them had serious expressions, they were only eleven or twelve years old, and with this expression, no matter how they looked at it, it made people laugh.
Ron, who wanted to say that he couldn't go, took back the words that came to his lips after seeing the eyes of Hermione and Harry, afraid that the two would really ignore him.
"Just go, what's there to be proud of!" Ron pouted, unhappy.
"That's right! We're the Gryffindor Gold Trio, so how can we do without you! Hearing Ron's words, Harry stepped forward and patted Ron on the shoulder, smiling at Hermione.
The next morning, Zhu Kunming, who had nothing to do, propped his hands on Hogg?? On the observation deck outside the top floor of Hogwarts, he waited motionless for the sunrise. As Zhu Kunming waited, slowly, the dawn of the early sun passed through the clouds, rising from the horizon in Zhu Kunming's gaze, and the golden sunlight shone softly on Zhu Kunming's body, looking at it from a distance, it seemed that Zhu Kunming was wearing a golden coat.
"Professor, you're in a lot of interest!" Just when Zhu Kunming was motionless, a joke came from behind him.
"It's just a pleasure in the bitterness!" Although Zhu Kunming didn't look back to see who was coming, from the tone of his voice, he already knew that it was Dean Dumbledore.
Dumbledore came to Zhu Kunming's side, looked at the golden sun, and said nostalgically; "When I was a student at Hogwarts, I loved coming here to see the sunrise. It was a carefree day, and I stood here as if I had it all! After saying this, Dumbledore looked back at Zhu Kunming and asked; Professor, haven't you found your treasure yet? ”
Zhu Kunming shook his head, turned over, sat on the guardrail of the observation deck, and said; "There's no clue at all, it could be a quick stone, it could be a wine glass, anyway, I don't know what it will look like until I see it, anything is possible. But one thing I know for sure is that dust will never be able to obscure the light of a rare treasure, so it will be born one day. And when that time comes, it's time for it to return to my arms. ”
Dumbledore opened his hands, while enjoying the warmth of the sun shining on his body, nodded noncommittally, and said; "Sounds great, but are you really going to sit still!"
Zhu Kunming sat quietly on the guardrail and said discouragedly; "I searched all the ancient books, and as long as I could find the treasures on the top, I read them all in detail. But although some of those things are extraordinary, they have nothing in common with my treasures. And the sea of people is vast, and I really have no choice but to respond to all changes with the same! ”
"In that case, would you be interested in taking a few apprentices to kill the boring time?" Dumbledore induced Zhu Kunming, hoping that this mysterious professor with extraordinary strength could contribute some of his strength to Hogwarts.
"Apprentice!" Zhu Kunming shook his head, pointed to the playground below, and said to the little wizards who were learning to ride a broom; "Most of these people are mediocre talents, and none of them can enter my eyes!"
"Uh...."Dumbledore paused, then pointed to a new student below, and asked; How is this little guy? Her name is Hermione, I have noticed her since the first day, she has a strong self-motivation, she is the most attentive person in class every day, she is definitely a good seedling. ”
"Maybe!" Zhu Kunming looked at Hermione, who was holding a broom underneath, nodded unknowingly, and said; "Although it is said that diligence can make up for clumsiness, but without that one percent of talent, no matter how much sweat there is, it is still useless. And with her talent, she can basically reach your current level, but if you want to go further, the possibility is absolutely slim. ”
"What!" Dumbledore looked at Zhu Kunming in surprise, not because Zhu Kunming said it badly, but because the evaluation was already too high. You must know that Dumbledore, as the head of Hogwarts, at least the wizards who can compete with him on the surface, add up to no more than five in a hundred years. And this little Hermione, who is only eleven years old, is actually an existence that can be compared to him in the future, how can this not surprise Dumbledore.
"Your strength and the strength of that mysterious man are both A-level in my eyes, and Hermione's future achievements are mostly similar to yours. This is remarkable to you, but to me, it's a bit underwhelming. The vision is definitely an achievement, at least my apprentice, and there must be no less than my current achievements. ”
"Isn't that too much to ask?" Dumbledore asked, hesitantly.
