Chapter 2 The world is no longer safe

"Arthur, it's a coincidence. Mr. Dumbledore has the same name as the headmaster of the wizarding school in your novel. ”

Father Hughes looked kindly at Arthur, who had not taken another half step into the door, and continued in an orthodox London accent.

What a wonderful coincidence.

"Hello, Mr. Dumbledore."

Arthur finally chose to walk inside, gently closed the office door, and bowed to Dumbledore.

"Hello, Mr. Pendragon. Your novel really shocked me. ”

When Dumbledore saw that Arthur heard his name, there was no trace of surprise in his clear eyes, and his face was as calm as water, without showing the slightest panic.

He was interested in this little guy who had already caused a sensation in the British wizarding world.

"Arthur has been like this since he was a child, and he is a man of few words. Mr. Dumbledore, don't see it. ”

Father Hughes, who was standing behind his desk, was a little cold.

In order not to make Dumbledore think that Arthur was a child who was not easy to get along with, he opened his mouth to explain.

"Hehe, it's okay. Father Hughes, may I speak to Pendragon alone, no, Mr. Arthur? ”

Dumbledore pulled out a book from his gray robes and said to Theseus with a smile.

As his words ended, a strange power emanated from him, causing Xius to nod instinctively.

"Okay, I understand. A meeting between book lovers and authors? It just so happens that I have something to take care of. ”

Under the influence of this force, Hughes naturally picked up a pile of papers on the table and walked out of the dean's office.

The crisp sound of the door closing echoed through the room, and Dumbledore and Arthur stared at each other.

After a few moments, Dumbledore realized that he could not see Arthur's inner thoughts, and he stopped this silent way of getting along with each other.

"Can you tell me why you created this novel?"

Dumbledore opened the "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" in his hand, and couldn't help but smile when he looked at a very mysterious and handsome appearance that described himself.

His own very ordinary behavior at the beginning is portrayed as a mysterious and powerful wizard in this book.

Of course, he is indeed a powerful wizard.

But these... How did this Muggle kid who lived in an orphanage know?

"Because I'm going to make money!"

Under Dumbledore's powerful aura, Arthur didn't make up any reason.

He paused, rolled his eyes, and asked uneasily.

"You are looking for me this time, you won't ask me for infringement fees, I'm sorry, I haven't gotten the manuscript fees yet."

Dumbledore's narrowed eyes burst into light when he heard this, and then he opened his mouth to laugh.

He had been puzzled why Arthur wasn't shocked to hear his name, but now he understood.

"How could it be. I'm looking for you this time to meet you. Hear how you came up with this novel. ”

"After all... There's a lot of stuff that's already happening, and there's a lot going on......"

Dumbledore didn't like, and was not willing to use the Dementor on an underage child, to probe his inner thoughts.

But in the face of this Muggle orphan who actually knew the wizarding world, he still couldn't help but use it.

But the result shocked him.

Arthur's soul was enveloped in an ocean that his dementors could not penetrate to detect his thoughts.

This is the effect of Occlumency!

'There doesn't seem to be a kid named Arthur Pendragon on this year's admission list, but the kid in front of him has a lot of magical talent... Strangely, the quill in the tower has never missed any child with magical talents...'

Looking at Arthur, who had not spoken, Dumbledore became more and more interested in his peculiarities.

"I suddenly had an idea, and then I imagined a plot based on that idea, and then I wrote it out after a little processing."

Arthur was relieved to hear that the other party was not here to ask him for money.

Making money is the most important thing for him right now.

The world about his rebirth is the world of Harry Potter, and his heart is as calm as his look.

Arthur's unusually calm was completely out of step with his age.

Such a performance made Dumbledore unable to see through it.

He flipped Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone to the final chapter, whispering the words he had said to Harry on his hospital bed.

"Only the one who hopes to find the Philosopher's Stone... Whoever finds it, but doesn't use it, gets it..."

When Dumbledore finished reading, he closed the book and looked at Arthur, who was still calm, and stroked his beard.

"Very good idea, unfortunately I don't need it..."

"I'm sorry for the trouble... I don't need to lose money... I don't have a gold Galleon either. ”

"Poof! Haha, you're such a funny little guy. Maybe that place is right for you. ”

Hearing that Arthur cared about money again, Dumbledore, who had experienced a lot of experience, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

If he weren't a powerful wizard, he would really suspect that Arthur in front of him was a greedy goblin disguised.

"I don't want to go. Learning magic doesn't make me money. ”

That place, coming out of Dumbledore's mouth, certainly wouldn't mean Azkaban.

And a Muggle is not eligible to be imprisoned in a prison full of wizarding and villains.

"You should know that the fact that I can see you here means that you have caught the attention of the Ministry of Magic. What you do is not something that can be solved by a simple Oblivion Charm. ”

Dumbledore recalled the anger on Fudge's face and sighed softly.

He didn't want this child, who might have the ability to prophesy, to be studied as guinea pig by the mysterious silent people in the Department of Mysteries at the Ministry of Magic.

"Running out of options? I could have avoided Harry Potter. I've been polishing a new book lately, well... Still don't talk about it. ”

Looking at the aged Dumbledore in front of him, Arthur's mind conjured up his youthful appearance, and another very handsome German with a hint of evil spirit.

"You won't be... Well? ”

When Dumbledore heard this, a bad premonition inexplicably appeared in his mind.

He was just about to ask, when his face suddenly changed.

"It seems that some people can't sit still. Arthur, this wizarding world is not the fairy tale adventure of your book. ”

Before he could finish speaking, a powerful explosion came from behind him.

Dumbledore turned around and glared at the broken glass, wood shard, and stone that had been swept away by the explosion.

At some point, the quaint black wand had appeared in his hand.

After throwing a spell to fend off the explosion spell that was being fired at the two of them, he flashed to Arthur's side.

Before Arthur could react, Dumbledore's thin palm was already pressed against his thin shoulder.

"You probably don't want this place to be in ruins."

With a twist of the two figures, they turned into black shadows and disappeared from the dean's office, which had been reduced to ruins.
