Professor McGonagall left Kyle before dropping him off in front of the dripstone beast on the eighth floor, and she helped with the password as she left.

"Lemon Snow Treasure."

……

The headmaster's room was still the same, Fawkes was still rotten on the shelf, and when he saw Kyle, he only raised his head slightly, even if he said hello.

Kyle took out a handful of fresh white leaves as a greeting gift and placed them next to the shelf.

Dumbledore didn't disappear this time, he just sat there smiling, and there was a familiar bottle on the table in front of him.

"Hope I didn't bother you." Dumbledore stood up from his chair and handed the potion of suppression on the table to Kyle, "You know, just like last time. ”

"Of course, Headmaster." Kyle nodded, took the bottle and said, "I'm going to give it to Mikel." ”

"Hmm...... There's no hurry, if you don't have anything to do, can you talk to me, an old man? ”

Seeing that Kyle didn't speak, Dumbledore continued, "Don't be nervous, just have a casual chat, just like when you were with Newt. ”

"I was just a little surprised." Kyle scratched his hair and said, "But Headmaster, that ...... I only have white fresh leaves now, and I really don't have bellflowers. ”

“……”

"Fox has a good personality and doesn't get angry all the time." Dumbledore's expression froze slightly, but quickly returned to normal.

"I received your Christmas present." He ordered Kyle a glass of fresh lemonade and said, "I read it that day, and read it many times...... It's fascinating. ”

At first, Kyle thought Dumbledore was just being polite, but the next second he realized that he was wrong.

Because Dumbledore had literally taken out two pairs of woollen socks from the drawer on the table.

One pair is red with gold trim.

The other pair is slightly smaller and is blue-pink.

However, both pairs of socks are embroidered with a large letter "A".

Kyle looked up and subconsciously asked, "Is this ...... Do you knit? ”

"Yes." Dumbledore said triumphantly, "My talent for knitting socks is not bad, and I succeeded on my first attempt. ”

Kyle opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

What's wrong with this wizarding world?

President of the International Federation of Wizards, the first class wizard of the Merlin Order, the chief of the Wizengamot, and the strongest white wizard recognized by the wizarding world, Dumbledore...... Actually proud because of his talent for knitting socks?

Looking at his happy appearance, he seems to be a little proud.

"You're doing a great job, Headmaster." Kyle said dryly.

"Thank you."

Dumbledore put away the two pairs of woollen socks and suddenly sighed, "My biggest regret this year may be that I didn't prepare a Christmas present for you, which is really bad." ”

Kyle waved his hand.

He hadn't expected to receive a gift from Dumbledore.

But then again, as a standard good student, Kyle didn't want Dumbledore to be guilty all the time.

An old man, still tormented by guilt, he looks distressed.

"Why don't you take the initiative to ask for a gift yourself?" Kyle touched his chin and thought to himself.

Although it is quite shameful to do this, for the sake of the principal, it doesn't matter if he is wronged.

Kyle subconsciously moved his gaze to the corner of the headmaster's office, where there was a mirror that was all dusty, and it shouldn't be worth much, so he should choose it.

Or the rough stone basin next to it.

Anyway, it's just for show, and it's perfect to choose this kind of stall for a bargain that you might buy for ten.

"I'm so sweet."

Kyle doesn't hide his movements.

Beside him, Dumbledore seemed to have guessed something, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

At this time, Kyle just turned around, "Headmaster, you can send ......"

"Would you like a glass of lemonade? Absolutely. ”

Dumbledore tapped on the table and ordered another glass of lemonade.

"No, I mean ...... today."

"Today's weather is really good."

Nice weather?

Kyle glanced out the window, and the snow had been falling all day, and it hadn't stopped.

However, Dumbledore didn't give Kyle a chance to speak again, he also looked out the window, and said with some emotion, "I didn't even notice, is it so late?" ”

Kyle understands in seconds.

Although he regretted that he could not help Dumbledore solve his troubles, Kyle still said very consciously:

"Then I'll go back first, Mikel is still waiting to drink the medicine."

"Need to bring some snacks back?" Dumbledore opened a drawer full of all sorts of sweets and preserves.

Kyle was tempted to refuse, but he suddenly noticed that the candy seemed to be high-end, and there were many kinds he hadn't even seen before.

"I thank you on behalf of Mikel."

By the time Kyle leaves the principal's office, his two pockets are bulging with candy.

With the oak door closed.

In the headmaster's room, Snape walked out of nowhere, squinting thoughtfully as he looked at Kyle's previous position.

"I'm a little curious, Severus."

Dumbledore closed the drawer and hung a small gleaming lock on it.

"You specifically asked me to call Kyle here, why did you hide yourself?"

"You let him go too soon."

Snape said with a blank face, "As we agreed, he should be here for thirty minutes. ”

"Students have their own things to do." Dumbledore took a sip of his tea and said, "Severus, we can't take up too much of their time. ”

"Oh? That's what you think......" Snape glanced at the Mirror of Eris in the corner and walked in the direction of the gate.

"Severus."

At this moment, Dumbledore suddenly stopped him, "I think your prejudice against Kyle is too deep. ”

Snape stopped, turned his head and asked, "What do you want to say?" ”

"Kyle is a very good kid." Dumbledore said calmly, "I understand that he gave gifts to every professor on Christmas Day, and even Lady Loris, who was the least popular among the students, received a pack of dried fish. ”

"Oh~~" Snape squinted his eyes and asked again in a lengthened tone, "What do you want to say!" ”

"I think he may have been oversightly in forgetting his Potions professor."

Dumbledore smiled and said, "You know, even I occasionally make this kind of low-level mistake, it's normal, you can't be prejudiced against Kyle because of that." ”

"Perhaps, he didn't forget."

Snape snorted, then pulled the door open and left the headmaster's office without looking back.
