Chapter 8: So You Are ......
In the afternoon flight lesson, Weston directly asked for leave, which made the students puzzled again.
Not only them, but even Mrs. Huo Qi, the teacher of the flying lesson, was very puzzled. You know, since Hogwarts had flying lessons, there has never been a student who has taken time off! Weston has set a precedent!
In fact, Weston had no interest in flying lessons, in part because he could fly himself, after all, his Animagus had wings; Another reason is that the time Dumbledore took him to experience it made him have a shadow of the flying broom.
Flying broom or something, the farther away the better! Weston hummed inwardly.
At this time, there is a request in front of the house.
"Who else are we waiting for?" Weston was a little puzzled when he heard that there was still someone to wait.
"You'll find out right away!" Dumbledore smiled and said, "Look, he's coming!" β
Weston looked over and saw the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor Bailey Nicholas walking towards him.
New professors, trustworthy? Weston frowned, he knew what the Defence Against the Dark Arts professors at Hogwarts were.
In the original book, during Harry Potter's years at Hogwarts, none of the Defence Against the Dark Arts professors were reliable!
It is said that because Voldemort placed a curse on this position, no professor will teach for more than a year, resulting in the professor of this course not knowing the whole thing like other professors, and some are completely random to pull one over, such as Gilderoy Lockhart.
"You're here. Nicol! Dumbledore nodded at the visitor.
"Yes! I'm so interested in this magic you're talking about! Over the years, there aren't many things that interest me! Professor Nikolai replied with a smile.
"I'll introduce you, this is Weston Delacul, the best Hogwarts student ever! You can call him, Weston! Dumbledore said to Professor Nicholas.
"Really?" Nikolai looked a little surprised, "There are not many people who can get Albus's evaluation!" β
"That's the professor complimenting me!" Weston shook his head modestly, "Actually, there's a lot I don't understand!" β
"I didn't praise you, Weston! It's your own modesty! Dumbledore shook his head, "Without you, this magic wouldn't exist now!" β
"I know you want to say that I've helped you a lot, but you know, you know that you did most of the whole magic conjecture and the work! Don't be humble anymore! If you don't know, you think you're an old man like me! β
Well, the modesty is also wrong! Weston shrugged his shoulders and said no more.
"Wait, you meanβ" Professor Nikolai heard something nearby, but it gave him a feeling of disbelief.
"Ah, yes! The transformation of this magical creature Animagus was proposed by Weston, and he also realized most of the content! β
"By the way, three years ago, Weston had already completed his transformation, and if nothing else, he is now considered an immortal!" Dumbledore said in a cheerful tone.
"What an amazing boy!" Professor Nikolai sighed, "I kind of know, why did you call such a teenager to help you!" β
After saying that, he turned his head to look at Weston and said solemnly, "Thank you, child!" You've added a magical spell to the wizarding world, and you've fulfilled a big dream for everyone in the Transfiguration world! β
"You're ridiculous!" Weston bowed slightly.
"Excessive modesty is pride, child! Albus is right, you should have some youthful spirit! Nikolai shook his head.
He thought for a moment, glanced at Dumbledore, and then solemnly spoke: "Since I am not an outsider, then my concealment is wrong!" I thought I should introduce myself to you! β
"My name is Bailey Nicola and my ancestral home is in Cornwall, France! Although this name is my real name, it is not as well-known as my pseudonym. In the wizarding world, most people know my pseudonym. β
"I'm sure you've heard of that pseudonym, it's Nicol Lemay!"
Miscellaneous...... What? Nicolame? The alchemist? The one who has lived for more than 600 years?
Weston looked at Nikolai in a daze, then turned his head to look at Dumbledore.
Dumbledore nodded, indicating that Nikolai's words were true!
No wonder! No wonder Dumbledore was able to take out the Philosopher's Stone, I didn't expect Nicolame to really come to Hogwarts! I also became a teacher again!
"Now that Professor Nikolai is here, today's magic is more than half successful!" Weston was relieved this time.
Suspicion of Nicolame? Don't talk about it, with the friendship between Old Deng and Nicolamay, who can attack Dumbledore! As for himself, it's even more impossible!
"Without further ado, let's get started!" Bailey Nikolai, or Nicol Lemay, said.
Dumbledore nodded, walked back and forth three times in front of the Room of Requirement, and pushed the door open, revealing a thunderstorm room inside.......
A few hours later, the three of them came out of it, Weston and Nicol had not changed, but Dumbledore had changed very much, the old age on his face was not visible at all, all the wrinkles were gone, his hair was dark brown - he was younger!
"Congratulations, Albus!" Nicol shook his hand with a smile and looked at Dumbledore with some hot eyes.
"No, I should say, congratulations!" Dumbledore tapped him on the shoulder.
"You mean......" Nicol reacted, looking at Dumbledore and Weston in disbelief, a flash of surprise in his eyes!
"When the professor and I started studying this magic, we were guessing that the Animagus of magical creatures should be able to transform wizards into immortals! Now we have clearly verified this statement! β
"You've got your help!" Weston tilted his head and looked at Nicol, "So, would you like to learn this magic?" β
"Ah, that's right!" Nicol rubbed his hands together with some excitement, "I'm sorry, I mean, I'd love to!" Yes, who wouldn't want to......"
He walked back and forth excitedly, suddenly thought of something, his body stiffened, and then he hesitated, looked at the two of them, opened his mouth for a moment, and closed it again, looking a little difficult to speak.
"You want to ask Perenal, right?" Dumbledore thought for a moment and understood Nicol's thoughts.
"Yes, Albus, you always know me like that!" The words were broken by Dumbledore, and Nicol was no longer hiding, "I want to ask, can I teach my wife, after all, I am used to having her company!" β
"Absolutely!" Weston smiled and nodded, "It's our pleasure!" After all, we're all explorers! β
"Hahaha......"
For some reason, when Nicol mentions his wife, Weston misses Fleur a little bit in his heart......
