Chapter 7: Conversation with Dumbledore
School life in Kritz is pretty good, why isn't it good? If the two pairs of living treasures around him and the brown-haired dumplings were removed, life would be perfect, and one of the twin brothers pestered Kritz, especially after seeing Kritz's alchemy notes.
"If we work together, we will definitely make a lot of money."
"Yes, we're ready for our careers in the future."
"We're going to set up a prank shop."
"It's called Weasley Fireworks Trick."
"And where's my name?" Kritz asked fatally, not to mention, in these days, Kritz's heart with no emotion for ten thousand years began to melt under the offensive of these two living treasures, and the most direct manifestation was that he would laugh now.
"Ah, that's a hard question to decide."
"But your answer proves what you think, and you're going to join in, right?"
George pretended to be deep in thought, and Fred stepped directly onto Krize's shoulder
"Then it depends on whether you can please touch me." Kritz also thought about it for a long time, after all, he couldn't stay at Hogwarts alone, he needed to find a way out for himself, and using his alchemy to make money was obviously a good plan, and the twin brothers, who also had ideas in this regard, were obviously a good choice to cooperate.
"True brother, this must be the most correct decision you have ever made in your life!"
"Yes, but we need to prove something to you before we do that."
"to prove that we are not without capital at all."
"See you in the lounge after 10 o'clock tonight."
The twin brothers didn't say why, and Kritz didn't care, now he was going to the library to return the books and borrow something, in fact, he was still a little curious about the things in the forbidden area, but neither the professor was willing to give him permission, and bluntly said that there were all things he couldn't touch now, and about this Kriz wanted to say that there was any book that could be more inaccessible than his ancient book of black magic.
But Kritz hesitated when he came out of the common room, he was now thinking about whether to go to the professors or even Dumbledore for permission to enter the forbidden area, or just go to the library to find random books to read, and then he thought about walking to the headmaster's office on the eighth floor as if he had made up his mind, and then retreated, Dumbledore's office required a password to enter, obviously he didn't know.
Although I got a lot of knowledge from someone, it was obviously not enough, because I had only obtained alchemy for the time being, but that alchemy item still had the knowledge of ancient magic inscriptions, and if you want to perfect and repair it, alchemy alone is not enough.
He went to Professor McGonagall first, Professor McGonagall didn't have a class at this time, but Professor McGonagall still had that reason, thinking that it was not suitable for a child like him and refused, Professor Flitwick held the same reason, Sprout and Snape both had senior courses, and the only one who could try again was Professor Quirrell in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, to be honest, Krizz felt that it was better to even go to Dumbledore than to him, at least he could eat some sugar if he was rejected, But when you go to Quirrell, you won't get anything but the foul smell of garlic.
But there is no way, Professor Quirrell is obviously the most suitable one, first of all, his weak character, often frightened, and secondly, Professor Quirrell is the one who has the best attitude towards the books in those forbidden book sections, he thinks that gaining power is not a bad thing but it is not a simple thing, so even the opening of the forbidden book area is not a special thing for wizards.
"Professor, are you in there?" Kritz came to the Defense Against the Dark Arts office and knocked on the door, and a panicked sound came from inside, as if something had been knocked over.
"Please wait a minute." From inside came Quirrell's faint voice, followed by the sound of things falling, and the door finally opened, and Quirrell appeared in front of Kriz with his large red turban.
"It's Wicks, what's the matter?"
"Professor, is there something you are up to? Maybe I can help. ”
"No, no, I'm just resting, and I was suddenly scared by your wake-up."
"Oh" Kritz was puzzled, but he still ignored the aura on Professor Quirrell's body that was very similar to Harry's, yes, Professor Quirrell also had that eerie and terrifying magic, but it was very weak, and if it was a long time, Kritz would not be able to see it.
"Professor, my knowledge is at a bottleneck right now, and I think I need to go to the forbidden book area to find some new knowledge, so I need your signature."
"I can't promise Wicks, you're still too young, believe me that there are absolutely no books for you in the forbidden area."
"Professor? You're not stuttering anymore? ”
"Ahh Quirrell was like a cat with its tail stepped on, "Ah, yes. That is true... I.. Only if.. When you're nervous, you're only .. Will stutter, you know.. As.. Professor, the pressure is still very .. Bigger. ”
Looking at Professor Quirrell, who had returned to his stammering and cowardly nature, Kritz felt that he should not expect to ask him for approval in the future, otherwise he would definitely not come back in the future!
"Hello Kriez, don't you have classes in the afternoon?" Just as Kritz walked down the stairs disappointedly, an unexpected figure appeared: "Would you like to come to my office and have some candy together?" A new flavor of cockroach heap has arrived. ”
Exactly Dumbledore! Kritz thought about it and went with him,
After all, the approval slip hadn't arrived, and the other books in the library weren't too helpful, so I went and talked to the great wizard to see if I could get something useful from him.
"Would you like something to drink?"
"A little tea is fine."
"It's really good to drink a little tea, you know that the metabolism of an elderly person is often not very good, drinking tea can detoxify, this is what your mother told me, of course, this also makes me like tea." Dumbledore conjured a teapot and poured a cup of tea for Kritz.
"I heard you're asking other professors for permission to enter the forbidden section?"
"Yes, I need to fix something that requires books on ancient magic writing and alchemy, but there are no books I want on the periphery of the library, so I want to go to the forbidden book area." Kritz didn't intend to hide it, after all, he had said in his previous correspondence that he wanted to repair something before he wanted to learn alchemy.
"Ah, of course it's good that new knowledge is needed." Dumbledore took a sip of his tea and gave a relieved expression, "Please forgive the professors, the books in the forbidden area are too dangerous, you are still a first-year wizard, and they don't think you have the ability to deal with this matter." ”
Then there was silence, and the two of them, one old and one young, were drinking tea
"What do you think of Professor Quirrell?" Dumbledore couldn't help but speak, after all, drinking water all the time is not a good thing, but Kritz had no intention of leaving.
"Eerie, and evil." Kritz said without hesitation: "Although he hides it well, today he unconsciously leaked a little magic that makes me feel that he is not as simple as he appears." ”
"Ah, Professor Quirrell isn't a bad person, and that little bit of magic doesn't seem to prove anything."
Kritz tilted his head in a way of "Do you think I'm a fool?" Looking at Dumbledore, although he doesn't like to talk to others, but he doesn't know anything, as far as he knows, Harry Potter has the scar on his forehead because of the killing curse, so he guesses that the magic should belong to the killing curse, and Professor Quirrell also has that magic on his body, obviously not a good person, after all, the Ministry of Magic now prohibits the use of the killing curse.
"It seems that my lies are not very good to fool you, can you tell me what you know?" Dumbledore couldn't hide it anymore, so he dragged it out.
Kritz told him that Harry had three spells of magic and Professor Quirrell had the same powers.
"Kid, your guess isn't too oversight, but in fact, that magic is not a residual killing curse, what remains in the body of the releaser after the killing curse is released is the emotion of wanting to kill the other party, that power, if my guess is correct, comes from Voldemort." Dumbledore said, his face sad, and he repeated his reasoning.
"Quirrell used to be a good guy, maybe I hurt him, if it weren't for the defense of the dark arts professor he wouldn't be like this."
"Is it a Horcrux?" Kritz thought for a moment and then said that thing, after all, a person who was rebounded by the killing curse was still alive, which was not normal in itself, and according to Dumbledore, Harry could not have just the mana from Voldemort, because in prison, the magic of those who died would not always remain in the body, and Dumbledore also said that the magic was Voldemort's.
Dumbledore was startled at first, then looked at Kritz with interrogative eyes.
"The book." Kritz pointed to the black book on the shelf that didn't have anything on the spine, "I also have one, I picked it up in Azkaban, and I learned about the Horcrux from there. ”
"I'd like to give me that book for safekeeping, if I could, it's too early for you." Dumbledore's gaze softened, and he spoke in a persuasive tone.
"I don't think so, is it the killing curse that is far away from me? Or the black magic? I know you're worried, but let me say no, it's mine. ”
Dumbledore was momentarily speechless, but quickly adjusted
"Ah, forgive an old man for caring about children, but I still have to remind you not to expose it to the students, okay?"
"It doesn't matter, I didn't bring it anyway, I've already learned the knowledge in it."
"It's hard to believe, but I'll say it, Kritz, you're gifted with magic, but I hope you're just taking this as an old man's compliment." Dumbledore smiled at himself, "I'll unrestrict you, but can you show me when you've fixed that thing?" I'm curious. ”
"Yes, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to learn the knowledge of alchemy."
Although all the words have been said, Kriz still has no intention of leaving, after all, you haven't given the approval yet!
"Looks like I'll have to say yes," Dumbledore sighed, "but I have a small request, and that is that you will do something for me when I need you." ”
Although Dumbledore didn't mention it, his attitude has shown everything, Dumbledore looks like an entrepreneur who wants to pull capital in, Kritz has no capital to refuse, he also needs a backing, so quietly, a deal is completed.
After many more instructions, Kritz left the principal's office, and he had been given permission to go to the forbidden area.
