Before the meeting, Dumbledore still had a certain degree of doubt about 'whether to invite Chu Xiaobai to join Hogwarts'. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It doesn't matter whether or not you trust Professor McGonagall, as the headmaster of Hogwarts, Dumbledore has a lot of factors to consider, and a major event like recruiting teachers is not something that can be decided directly just because of someone's recommendation.

And after seeing Chu Xiaobai, the previous concerns were no longer an obstacle.

First of all, Chu Xiaobai is a good person.

Dumbledore was still very accurate in seeing people. As early as when Tom Riddle was in school, he had already judged that the guy was not a good person, and sure enough, in the end, Tom Riddle transformed into Voldemort and set off a bloody storm in the wizarding world. And this time, after meeting with Chu Xiaobai, Dumbledore once again made a judgment and firmly believed that he was not a bad guy who would bring harm to Hogwarts with a dark psychology.

Secondly, Chu Xiaobai's thirst for knowledge is very strong, just like those students in school.

At the end of the day, Hogwarts is still a school. As a teacher and principal of the school, I will welcome anyone who has a positive learning mentality. What's more, after some testing, it was proved that Chu Xiaobai originally had the potential to learn and perform magic, and according to the principle of 'try not to miss any student with wizard blood', Dumbledore or Hogwarts itself had the obligation to take the initiative to invite Chu Xiaobai, an 'older student', to enroll.

In the end, it was because of the rather magical nutrient solution that Chu Xiaobai took out.

Having personally experienced the benefits of the nutrient solution, he has already decided that it is a new potion that can bring great benefits to wizards, and from the position of Dumbledore, who has always been committed to promoting the healthy development of the wizarding world, how could he miss this opportunity?

Even if Chu Xiaobai is not recruited into the school as an auditor, he must be allowed to join the big family of Hogwarts. That's what Dumbledore really thought after seeing the nutrient solution.

In fact, that's how he arranged it - just three days after the first meeting, Dumbledore sent Hagrid and asked him to send an invitation to Chu Xiaobai - in the new semester, Chu Xiaobai will join Hogwarts as a ranger of the Forbidden Forest and assist Hagrid in managing the Forbidden Forest together.

Speaking of which, not everyone can be a ranger. When Hagrid was sent to manage the Forbidden Forest, it wasn't just because Dumbledore wanted to protect him from being captured and imprisoned in Azkaban, but also because he was a half-blood giant himself, and the dangerous creatures in the Forbidden Forest were far less dangerous to him than the others.

In the same way, Chu Xiaobai will be assigned the identity of a forbidden forest administrator, not only because of Chu Xiaobai's own choice, but more because Chu Xiaobai has already shown his strength in front of Dumbledore when they first met - although he doesn't know magic, but just by virtue of martial arts, Chu Xiaobai can also protect himself like Hagrid when facing the dangerous creatures in the forbidden forest.

Of course, Chu Xiaobai is just a newcomer who has just joined Hogwarts, while Hagrid can be regarded as Dumbledore's henchman, and the status of the two in Dumbledore's eyes is still different.

For Chu Xiaobai, this is enough. His purpose is the knowledge of the wizarding world, not Harry Potter or Voldemort. With the status of the Forbidden Forest Ranger, he is already a member of Hogwarts and has the qualifications to learn all kinds of knowledge, and on this basis, there is really no need to draw snakes and cause trouble for himself.

In fact, Chu Xiaobai had already made up his mind, unless Hermione became friends with Harry Potter like in the original book and was involved in that whirlpool, otherwise, he didn't want to get involved in the battle between Harry Potter and Voldemort.

Well, that's all for later, and no one knows what the situation will be when the time comes, so let's not talk about it for now.

In short, the most important thing at the moment is to prepare for joining Hogwarts.

………………………………………………………

Finally, the day came when the Hermione family went to buy school supplies.

This day is also the day when Chu Xiaobai made an appointment with Professor McGonagall, and he will also follow Hermione's family to Diagon Alley under the leadership of Professor McGonagall to buy some necessities for himself when living at Hogwarts.

Thinking that he would be able to see the prosperity of Diagon Alley immediately, and that he would be able to truly get in touch with the daily life of the wizarding world immediately, Chu Xiaobai was unconsciously excited all night.

Just when Chu Xiaobai was waiting a little anxiously, Professor McGonagall finally appeared, and like last time, she came out of the fireplace again.

"Professor McGonagall, good morning. Would you like some breakfast? Oriental. ”

"Ugh. Well, let's do it a little bit. "I don't know if Chu Xiaobai hasn't slept all night, and he is really bored to make breakfast to pass the time, and I thought that he deliberately made breakfast and waited for his arrival. Feeling that the hospitality was difficult, Professor McGonagall had to put aside the idea of 'hurry up to Hermione' for the time being, and sat down at the table to accept Chu Xiaobai's hospitality.

Actually, there was no need for Professor McGonagall to take the initiative to find Hermione, for the simple reason that the little girl would come to the door by herself when she smelled it.

No, Hermione came, not only herself, but Bolton and Kate as well.

"Huh? Professor McGonagall? How did you end up here? "It's not the first time I've met Professor McGonagall, but it's the first time I've met her at Chu Xiaobai's house. Seeing the 'weird' picture of Professor McGonagall and Chu Xiaobai sitting together for breakfast, little Hermione felt that her whole body was a little confused.

"Hermione, Bolton, and Kate, good morning." First said hello to Hermione's family, and then, Chu Xiaobai looked at Hermione with a smile: "From today onwards, I will also go to Hogwarts with you......." ”

"Huh? No way? Uncle Chu, are you going to school too? Like me, you're in first grade? ”

"No, no, no, I can't imagine sitting with you and listening to a lecture. If you don't know, you'll definitely think that I've stayed a dozen times, and that's too embarrassing. Actually, my position at Hogwarts is that of the Forbidden Forester, well, yes, that's the one I applied for not long ago. ”

"Forbidden Forest? Forbidden Forest Rangers? What is that? Sounds like a dangerous ....... ”

"Of course it's dangerous for you freshmen, don't you see the word 'forbidden' in front? But for me, hey, in general. ”

"So where do you live? Inside the Forbidden Forest? In that case, how can I find you? There were still a lot of questions in her heart, but seeing the food on the table, Little Hermione decided to sit down first, and continued to ask questions to Chu Xiaobai while eating.

Bolton and Kate also sat down, behaving like little Hermione, eating food while staring curiously at Chu Xiaobai and Professor McGonagall.

"You mean continuing to learn kung fu from me, right? Don't worry, I'll find time to find you. ”

"It's not just that, it's this~." Picking up a small bun with chopsticks, Hermione's meaning was obvious - what if I got hungry?

"......, am I a cook in your heart?"

"Almost, okay, a little better than the cook~."

Looking at the little gap that Hermione deliberately pinched out with her fingers, Chu Xiaobai's head suddenly hung several black lines. The other three people who watched this situation were amused by the conversation between the big and the small.

A simple but delicious breakfast that everyone had a great time eating.

Almost an hour passed before I knew it, and it was time to go.

With Granger and his wife following, Professor McGonagall naturally couldn't take Chu Xiaobai and Hermione to rush with Floo Powder again. Under her leadership, it took about half an hour for the big guy to finally come to an alley.

"This is it."

"Isn't this a wall?" Chu Xiaobai had watched the movie and knew that the wall in front of him would transform like a transformer after a few clicks of the wand, spreading a path, but for the unsuspecting Hermione family, the wall was a wall, and it was no wonder that they would find it strange.

"Look closely." Maybe every 'leader' has the same expression at this time. Like Hagrid, who brought Harry here, Professor McGonagall had a smile on her face when she pulled out her wand.

Gently tapped the bricks on the wall a few times with his wand in order, and then gently recited a spell, and then, as if the bricks on the wall came to life, they folded and moved, and they spread out and shrank on both sides. In the blink of an eye, a portal appeared in front of several people, behind the portal, there was a long alley, most of the people walking back and forth in the alley were wearing cloaks, and with the surrounding buildings that looked a little old, this alley suddenly gave several people a strong medieval feeling.

I couldn't believe the scene in front of me, the three of Hermione's family acted in the same way, they all subconsciously glanced back, saw the modern buildings and cars passing on the road, and then turned their heads and stared at the medieval-style alley again.

"This, this, this is amazing~!"

"Why didn't they react?" Unlike the Grangers, who only looked at the sighs, little Hermione was also a little more sensitive, and when she noticed that passers-by not far away were not paying attention to the situation here, she pulled Professor McGonagall with some curiosity and asked again.

"It's a magical covering. Those who don't have permission can't see what is going on here. Although it has a magical masking effect, it is still a bit risky to stay too long, Professor McGonagall raised her steps and stepped into the alley, "Come on, time is limited, we need to speed up." ”
