"I don't want to, Headmaster Dumbledore." Calvin flatly declined the request.

This surprised Dumbledore, "Why, Calvin?" I thought you'd be happy. ”

"There is a saying in the Far East that teaches students according to their aptitude." Calvin said slowly, "So I don't think Harry is fit to learn Occlumency.

In the past few months, he has a personality very similar to his father, reckless, impulsive, and stubborn, and his living environment makes him very sensitive. These personalities can be an obstacle to learning Occlumency. ”

"You think of him a lot like Snape." Dumbledore said calmly.

"Maybe it's because I'm a Slytherin with him." Calvin lowered his eyelids and said lightly.

"And if Harry wanted your personal instruction, as you did with Mr. Diggory, what would you teach him?"

"Nothing will be taught. His talent doesn't impress me for the time being. Oh, and his Quidditch talent is outstanding, but unfortunately it's my weak point. Calvin's tone was slightly regretful, but his expression was calm.

"I thought you'd look the other way at him because he was Lily's child." Dumbledore didn't expect Calvin to give Harry such a faceless.

Calvin took a sip of pumpkin juice and said, "He's only Lily's child, not Lily's own, so I'm really willing to help and protect Harry in some things."

But you have to be clear, I'm just his mother's friend, not his father. If you have to find someone to be his dad, I recommend Severus Snape. ”

Dumbledore was a little helpless: "Calvin, you don't have to say that..."

"Albus," Calvin interrupted Dumbledore forcefully, "I'm willing to protect Harry as he grows up, and I think Lily thinks so too." But if you want to choose Harry as your successor, polish him yourself. ”

"At least for now, my private instruction isn't for Harry."

Dumbledore stared at Calvin as if he knew him for the first time, "What about Malfoy and Longbottom?" Do you think they're more talented than Harry? ”

"Malfoy and Longbottom have other things that struck me, but what about Harry? What else does he have besides the name of a boy who never dies? ”

"Harry is only in his first year, so it's not too late for him to come back to me when he shows enough talent."

Calvin didn't reject Harry outright.

Dumbledore nodded slightly: "Yes, he's only in the first year, and he's not mature enough." So he needs guidance more, doesn't he? Just like you guided Mr. Malfoy. ”

Calvin's face instantly turned cold.

"What do you mean, Professor?"

"I don't mean anything else, Calvin. I think you're doing the right thing, Malfoy was a spoiled young master before.

Under your upbringing, he gradually turned into a qualified Slytherin, valuing honor, at least he stopped bullying Longbottom. ”

"I think his father, Lucius Malfoy, would be happy to see his son transformed." Dumbledore said with a smile.

"Lucius Malfoy isn't going to cause me a bit of trouble."

"yes, but that's enough to alert them to the forces behind them, right?"

Calvin's breathing began to get heavier, and he began to weigh Harry and Malfoy. After a while, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "You won, Dumbledore." What do you want me to do? ”

"It's not that hard, I want you and Harry to have a closer relationship. Just like you and Nicol Lemay. ”

Dumbledore shoved a plate of cake in front of Calvin, "This feels pretty good, I highly recommend it." ”

Calvin ate a piece of cake in silence, "Dumbledore, I hope you don't interfere with the private instruction I provide to students in the future. How I educate Harry is my business. ”

Dumbledore nodded, "I see what you mean. ”

"And what are you going to say about Quirrell?"

"Hide Voldemort's business, and say it's Quirrell's own actions." Dumbledore kept adding sugar to his coffee, "Remember to talk to Harry and tell them to stop talking." ”

"Got it," Calvin suddenly thought of something, "Albus, the Defence Against the Dark Arts teaching can't always be substituted by other professors." ”

"Are you scared?" Dumbledore looked up at Calvin.

"It's a lie to say that you're not afraid, the notoriety of this course is widespread in Beauxbatons." Calvin was very resistant to being a substitute teacher, "Is this class really cursed?" ”

"Yes, no Defence Against the Dark Arts professor has lasted more than a year since I turned Tom down." Dumbledore took a sip from his coffee cup, "Tom has a lot of self-esteem, and he must be angry when I rejected him twice." ”

"You'd better find another professor, I remember Snape keeping an eye on the position." Calvin said with a strange expression.

"Alas, Calvin, if I'm not mistaken, you just burned a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor to death last night." Dumbledore sighed.

Calvin raised an eyebrow, he didn't hear what Dumbledore said, "Is this curse really so evil?" Even you can't crack it? ”

"I've tried, but this curse of Voldemort has its peculiarities."

"Peculiarities?" Calvin was puzzled.

Dumbledore pondered for a moment, but finally didn't say it directly, "This involves the operation of the entire castle, and I can't tell you that there are some things that are secrets that belong to the Headmaster alone.

But I can tell you that as soon as Voldemort is dead, the curse will dissipate. ”

Calvin frowned, "Well, the secrets that belong to the headmaster alone are mysterious. Hopefully you'll find the next professor soon, preferably before I substitute teach. ”

"Then I'll put you last."

"Thank you, Headmaster." Calvin got up and took the mirror, ready to take his leave.

"By the way," Dumbledore called Calvin, "whether it's Diggory or the Weasley twins, or Potter, Malfoy, and Longbottom, they're all great little wizards, and I hope you can teach them well." ”

"I should have said that I don't want you to interfere with my personal instruction."

"Calvin, I'm sad for you to say that," Dumbledore said, "it's centenarian advice. ”

"I see, Headmaster." Calvin bowed slightly.

"Please, Calvin, I really don't have the energy to deal with the third Dark Lord." Dumbledore made a joke.

"I don't like the Dark Lord," Calvin said blandly, "and I don't like people calling me the White Lord. ”

"I'm not interested in subverting the wizarding world or protecting it."

"I prefer that the history books record me as a pioneer."

Calvin turned and left the principal's office, leaving only a pair of blue eyes staring at his back.
