Chapter 20 Late Letter of Acceptance
Rove said that he was not trying to make money, but just to make friends, but he had a few more tail feathers from Fawkes's nest.
He was going to take it back and make a quill.
The quills made of phoenix tail feathers are warm in winter and cool in summer, with their own clear painting function, which belongs to the fire crossbow arrows in the pen!
Of course, if there is any leftover, you can also ask Ollivander to make a batch of wands with Fawkes's tail feathers as the core of the wand, and all of Voldemort's purple shirt wood wands belong to the twin wand cores.
In this way, when Voldemort is resurrected, Rove and him will automatically have a "flashback spell" between the wands when they fight, because the wand core is the same...... Even if it's not Voldemort's opponent, we can force a five-five open.
It's a must-have item to save your life!
Dumbledore couldn't help but smile a kind smile on his face as he watched Rove pick up his tail feathers.
He thought the boy was quite funny, unlike Newt when he was a child, he didn't like to talk, he was a little autistic, and he blushed after a little teasing.
The old man let go of the hand on the young man's shoulder, turned around and took a step to sit down in the chair, motioning for Rove to sit down as well.
"I'm a little hungry, some supper, Rove? How about lemon ice cream or honey cake? ”
"Eating too many sweets at night is not good for your teeth, and it is easy to gain weight." Rove shook his head and refused, "A cup of tea is all it takes." ”
Dumbledore took out his wand and tapped it lightly, and a spinning teatray and a plate of ice cream immediately appeared in the air.
"I've had some pain in my right tooth lately, and Madam Pomfrey has warned me not to eat too many sweets or I'll get tooth decay."
Dumbledore picked up a piece of lemon ice cream, took a bite, and blinked, "But it's really delicious." ”
Rove picked up the teacup with ice cracks, took a sip of tea, and persuaded: "If the small hole is not mended, the big hole suffers, it is better to go and see it early." ”
"The potions used in the school hospital to treat toothaches were all made by Professor Snape, but those potions ......"
Dumbledore shook his head, deliberately lowering his voice, as if revealing a secret that he could not see.
"It's hard to drink."
Rov's eyebrows raised, even Dumbledore said that it was hard to drink, then it was really hard to drink, it seems that you should be careful when you go to the school hospital in the future.
The boy thought for a moment and said, "Actually, you can change to other treatments." ”
The old man leaned forward and asked curiously, "What way?" ”
Rolf originally wanted to introduce his Celia Fantastic Beasts Store, and then took the opportunity to give Dumbledore a tooth cure to promote it by playing hardcore ads among students.
Look, even Dumbledore came to see me, why don't you send your pet over?
But it suddenly occurred to Rove that he was a veterinarian, and that he had offended the Sorting Hat and many of the old headmasters, and that the current headmaster still had to take care of it.
Otherwise, what if you are really fired?
The boy had no choice but to cough, and wittily changed his words: "You can go to the Muggle clinic, their modern medical treatment, in fact, is beyond the imagination of many wizards." ”
"Hermione's dad is a dentist, and I heard her say he's very skilled."
"Oh, Miss Hermione Granger? I'll definitely go to her dad when I have time! Dumbledore looked at Rove and suddenly asked, "You seem to have a lot of respect for Muggle stuff?" ”
"It's not that it's admired, but that there are advantages and disadvantages of each other." Rove stretched out his fingers, pressed the sweet white teacup of the thin tire, looked down at the tea in the cup, and said softly:
"A lot of wizarding magic is really convenient, such as the Traceless Stretching Charm, but there are also many things that are far inferior to Muggle technology.
Just like Hogwarts, which still uses candles and oil lamps from the Middle Ages, Muggles entered the electric age early.
The wizard's astronomical telescope can only observe the solar system, and Muggles can already detect galaxies billions of light-years away......"
Hearing this, Dumbledore let out a soft sigh, seeming a little surprised.
Most children from wizarding families are full of arrogance and arrogance towards Muggles, that is, they have a slight affection for Muggles, and they do not take the initiative to learn about their lives and technology.
Even the Weasleys, who are notoriously Muggle-loving and fanatical like Arthur Weasley, know little about Muggles and make a lot of jokes.
Even their Muggle Studies professor couldn't quite tell the difference between a telephone and a tape recorder, and he could speak anyway.
Rove was born in the Scamander family, and Dumbledore was surprised that he was so young and had such knowledge.
He was also middle-aged, and after a series of changes, he decided to settle down to understand this equally great group.
The two chatted for a while, Rov about Muggle technology, and Dumbledore about anecdotes about the wizarding world, and both listened with relish.
Dumbledore had been carefully looking at the young man, seeing that his expression was calm and his thinking was clear, and the old man nodded secretly, as if he had found an interesting existence.
After the small talk, Rov took out a golden letter from his bosom, and sealed one end of the envelope with fire paint, which had an embossed wax stamp with a sniffing pattern.
"Professor Dumbledore, this is the letter my grandfather asked me to bring to you."
This is also the reason why Dumbledore called Rove to his office on the first day of school, he was a messenger.
The principal removed the sealing wax, opened the envelope, and quickly skimmed through the contents of the secret letter, his brow gradually furrowed.
Rove sat in his chair and didn't make a sound, just drank his tea quietly, he hadn't read the contents of the letter, but he knew what Newt had written.
Dumbledore lifted his half-moon glasses, raised his head, and said slowly:
"Rove, this summer, you also followed Newt to the Albanian forest?"
The boy nodded.
During the summer vacation, they accepted an invitation from the Albanian Ministry of Magic to go to the Albanian forests to investigate the cause of the mass death of animals.
Rove knew that Voldemort was hiding in the forest, and he turned into a geist and possessed the animals, drastically shortening their lifespans.
Of course, Rove knew that Newt was sent by Dumbledore as his little spy to find out the news of the Dark Lord.
"By the way, I also met Professor Quirrell, who also entered the Albanian forest." Rove said.
"yes, I see." Dumbledore smiled and digressed, "When you returned to England from Romania, you were inspected by the Ministry of Magic?" ”
"They checked my box, but they didn't find anything wrong." Rove shrugged.
"It's actually your grandfather's fault." Dumbledore laughed:
"Newt likes to run around with a bunch of magical creatures, and he's been to several cities where magical creatures have escaped.
His grandson came back from the dragon sanctuary, and of course the Ministry of Magic would be a little nervous, afraid that you would bring a fire dragon or something. ”
“……”
Rove was silent, this terrible "slander" and "inherent prejudice", even he could not refute it!
After all, it's all ...... Fact!!
"So, Rove, I don't want the magical creatures in your box to run around, you know?" Dumbledore restrained his smile and said:
"I will allow you to raise magical creatures at Hogwarts, but I will not allow any more attacks on students." Dumbledore said solemnly:
"You have to restrain them, I don't want to see you fired like your grandfather."
“……”
The portraits of the old headmaster had long since stopped arguing, and they all pricked up their ears and eavesdropped on the conversation between the two, and when they heard the expulsion, Phineas snorted a few times in support.
Dumblebe raised his sleeve, changed his sitting position slightly, and pulled a letter from the table:
"This is your acceptance letter, you've been in Romania, you've been in Albania, and the owl can't find you across the sea...... Even though it's late, I still have to give it to you. ”
Rove took the letter, only to see that it read:
Received by Mr. Rove Scamander, Headmaster's Office, Hogwarts.
On the back is a wax seal, a coat of arms, and a lion, an eagle, a badger, and a snake surrounded by a capital "H".
Rove pulled out the letter and read it:
Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry: Albus Dumbledore (President of the International Confederation of Magic, President of the Wizarding Guild, First Class Wizard of the Order of Merlin).
Dear Mr. Scamander, We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry......
Rove smiled with satisfaction, without this thing, it did seem that something was missing.
But a late acceptance letter, which is also a letter, is better than someone whose letter may be forever late.
Dumbledore smiled, "Son, you can come here often when you're fine, I love hearing you talk about Muggles." ”
"I see, goodbye Headmaster, goodbye Fawkes."
Rove stood up, bowed to the old man in thanks, and waved goodbye to the old headmasters on the wall.
What a polite good boy, so likable!
Dumbledore's expression became more and more amiable, and he nodded lightly with a smile and said, "Go, go, we should be able to catch the Hufflepuff prefect introduction ceremony." ”
The teenager turned and left the principal's office.
Dumbledore stood up and watched the boy leave, closing the door before sitting back in his seat.
The old man looked out the window, alone at the night scene, and he looked at the letter on the table again, and his smile disappeared little by little.
