And so the days passed. The wolf cub eats and sleeps every day, and in addition to practicing fluorescent charms on weekdays, he writes and sends letters to Hermione, and occasionally sneaks out of the office at night to wander around, living a carefree life.

Compared to the wolf cubs, who didn't have to worry about anything, Dumbledore's life was much busier. In addition to his job as Headmaster of Hogwarts, he also had a lot of official business to attend to the Wizengamot, and Minister Fudge of the Ministry of Magic often sent him letters asking him for advice on how to handle various matters, which left Dumbledore with little free time.

On this day, after Dumbledore had written his reply to Cornelius Fudge, he caught a glimpse of Lovell lying in the corner of his office, stretching his hind legs to tickle himself.

Dumbledore couldn't hold back and sighed.

Lovell will be attending Hogwarts in two years, but will it really fit into human society? It seems too lacking in common sense.

It stands to reason that Dumbledore, as Lovell's current guardian, has the obligation to educate Lovell's knowledge, but Dumbledore is too busy. He asked himself if he was completely unqualified in this regard.

So, after some deliberation, Dumbledore decided to entrust Lovell to someone he trusted.

Who could be more trustworthy than Hogwarts Deputy Headmaster, Minerva McGonagall?

As soon as Dumbledore made his decision, he managed to inform Professor McGonagall. A few minutes later, the door to the office opened, and a tall witch in an emerald green robe and hair combed into a tight bun walked in.

"What's the matter, Albus?" She pursed her lips and looked at Dumbledore with a serious expression - she had been summoned by Dumbledore's Patronus, and in her eyes, something terrible must have happened to force Professor Dumbledore to use the Patronus to summon her.

"I need your help." Dumbledore was just as serious, but not so serious for the reason he was serious......

"At all costs." Professor McGonagall took a deep breath and decided to do whatever it took to fulfill Dumbledore's request.

"I need your help taking care of a little guy - Lovell!" Dumbledore called Lovell's name and asked him to come over.

"No problem—wait, Lovell?" As soon as Professor McGonagall said yes, she felt that something was wrong: Lovell, it seems to be the name of the wolf cub that Dumbledore adopted earlier?

Professor McGonagall had heard from her colleague Flitwick that Dumbledore had adopted a sweet wolf named Lovell. But she'd never seen this little guy before.

"What do you want me to do? Bad, Professor Dumbledore? Lovell jumped up to Dumbledore's desk, almost calling out the nickname he had given Dumbledore.

Now Minerva McGonagall finally saw the legendary Lovell.

At first glance, it looks like a silver-white ball, but on closer inspection, it looks like a little wolf with silver-white hair, and it looks so beautiful that it looks like a physical patronus.

What's more, it can also speak human language, which also represents an extraordinary meaning.

"This is Professor Minerva McGonagall, the school's vice-principal, professor of transfiguration, and director of Gryffindor House." Dumbledore raised his hand first to introduce Professor McGonagall to Lovell.

"Oh!" Lovell glared at Minerva McGonagall in front of him with wide eyes, and felt that she didn't seem to be very easy to get along with.

"I'm Lovell, I'm nothing, the Forbidden Timberwolves who temporarily reside in Dumbledore's office!" However, it is still necessary to introduce himself, so Lovell also introduced himself loudly.

Professor McGonagall couldn't help but laugh: this little wolf cub is quite interesting.

She bent down, stared at Lovell, and said, "You can call me Minerva." ”

"Okay!" Lovell nodded, taking Professor McGonagall's name to heart.

"So, what do you mean, Albus?" After introducing herself to Lovell, Professor McGonagall turned to Dumbledore, who needed an explanation from him.

"Lovell is coming to Hogwarts in two years, but as you can see, it's not ready at all, so ......"

"So you're going to throw it at me? Let me take the kids?! Professor McGonagall was a confidant of Dumbledore, and before he could finish speaking, Professor McGonagall understood Dumbledore's intentions.

At this moment, Professor McGonagall felt her blood pressure rise - she had a lot to do! The daily teaching work had overwhelmed her, and what was worse was that she also had the positions of Gryffindor Dean and Deputy Headmaster, and she felt that she had not received two more salaries because she had a friendship with Dumbledore for decades, but Dumbledore dared to make such an excessive request?

Dumbledore nodded silently.

Lovell looked at Dumbledore and McGonagall, unable to understand why the atmosphere between the two had froze all of a sudden.

"I refuse." Professor McGonagall simply declined Dumbledore's request, "If it's okay, I'll go back first." ”

With that, she turned around and left Dumbledore's office without looking back.

Dumbledore:!!!

"Wait a minute—" He was tempted to say something more to save Professor McGonagall, but Professor McGonagall had already left the office and left as fast as if she was afraid Dumbledore would catch up.

If it's a more serious request, Minerva McGonagall just works harder, but with a wolf cub, what kind of serious request is it? So she refused mercilessly.

The conversation ended unhappily.

Dumbledore sighed and said with some self-deprecation, "I should have given Minerva a salary increase first." ”

"So what the hell is going on?" Lovell blinked his big innocent eyes, completely devoid of the "culprit" of absoluteness.

"Ugh......" Dumbledore just sighed, and he felt his temples ache.

Do you really want to do the socialization training for Lovell yourself?!

Lovell carefully recalled the conversation between Dumbledore and Minerva, and a thought came to his mind: these two people can't be so unpleasant because of me, right?!

"Is it because of me?" Lovell shared his speculation with Dumbledore.

Looking at Lovell, who had become cautious, Dumbledore rubbed his brow, and finally couldn't bear to deceive the little wolf cub in front of him, he nodded.

Lovell blinked twice, and it thought of a solution that would have the best of both worlds.
