On the eighth floor, in the Headmaster's office, Dumbledore sat for a long time, sipping black tea with three servings of sugar while watching with interest as Snape and Professor McGonagall argued there.

It's also a coincidence.

Professor McGonagall had only come to Dumbledore for something, but as soon as she entered the door, she heard Snape clamoring for the expulsion of a student.

"It's Kyle Chopper again, he's cheated at least five hundred Galleons out of other students these days."

"I said at the time that he should be expelled for instigating his classmates, daring, and ignoring the school rules."

……

Professor McGonagall listened for a while, probably understanding what was going on, and she frowned, "Severus, we're not going to expel a student for such a trivial matter as selling a few things. ”

"A trifle?" Snape raised an eyebrow, shifting his gaze away from Dumbledore to Professor McGonagall.

"With all due respect, Minerva, he now wants to organize students to cheat on exams."

"Cheating? Are you kidding? ”

Professor McGonagall said incredulously, "I've seen those things, they're not even magical items, they're just the most ordinary decorations. ”

"So, Mr. Chopper is selling fakes?" Snape said in a long voice, "After all, an ordinary ornament is not worth ten Galleons.

Selling fakes at Hogwarts to trick other young wizards deserves to be expelled as well! ”

"Rest easy, Severus."

At this time, Dumbledore also finished his black tea and took out a large piece of parchment and placed it on the table.

"Here's their product flyer, you probably haven't seen it yet." He pointed to the bottom line of the bold text and said, "They've actually made it clear, so it's not a deception." ”

Snape looked up, and his eyes ached a little from the big lines of bright letters.

[This product has a symbolic meaning only...... Please purchase at your discretion】

"Besides......" Dumbledore said after a moment's consideration, "I understand that most of the decorations purchased by the students are five-sico, and only a few are ...... Well, the better-looking ones will sell for ten Galleons. ”

After listening to Dumbledore's words, Snape's expression suddenly became very ugly, as if he had eaten a plate of unwashed large intestines.

Co-authored the Slytherin people who bought the ten Galleons.

"What about this one?" Snape looked at the leaflet with a gloomy face and said, "They also mentioned you, which is also a lie." ”

"In fact...... What they say is true. ”

Dumbledore's old face suddenly turned red, and he said, "I did wear something similar during my graduation exam, but it was confiscated by Professor March's class. ”

"Merlin's beard, I always thought no one remembered it."

Snape's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he grabbed the flyer and left the headmaster's office.

"Bang!"

The loud slamming of the door woke Fawkes, who was sleeping, and it flew onto Dumbledore's shoulder, pecking at his beard in anger.

"Sorry Fox, Severus didn't mean to."

Fawkes didn't listen and continued to pull his beard.

There was no way, Dumbledore could only take out some mandrake blades from the drawer, and only then could he appease his phoenix.

Then he looked up at Professor McGonagall with an incredulous look on her face and said, "Don't be so surprised by Minerva, I was only seventeen years old at the time, and it was normal for me to do something incomprehensible.

And that time it was the history of magic, Professor Binns's class...... You should understand. ”

The corners of Professor McGonagall's mouth twitched, and she wanted to laugh...... But she held back.

"Okay......" Dumbledore changed the subject, "did you come to me for something?" ”

Speaking of business, Professor McGonagall's expression became more serious.

"Ahem, here's the entry list you asked for from June to August last year." She placed a small stack of parchment on the table and said, "Yesterday the owl didn't find her, so the Ministry of Magic sent it to me. ”

"Thank you, Minerva, I need it right now."

Dumbledore took it and flipped it open for a moment, then pulled out another stack of similar parchment from the bookshelf behind him.

Professor McGonagall glanced at her curiously, but because of her gaze, she could only read the first few words,

"Albanian Outbound ......"

When Dumbledore began to compare the two lists, Professor McGonagall saw this and left silently.

As the door was closed again, silence returned to the principal's office.

On the walls, the portraits who had been pretending to be asleep opened their eyes one after another, and gathered together with great interest to discuss the topic they had just discussed.

"It's the little wizard named Kyle again." One witch said, "How many times has this name appeared in the headmaster's office?" ”

"At least three times." A skinny old man said, "That Potions professor has been here every time lately because of him, another problem student. ”

"I don't think so." The witch who spoke before shook her head and said, "I've seen that kid in the hallway, smart, humble, polite, and he even says hello to the portrait. ”

"Maybe he faked it." A snarky voice said, "Just like the original student...... Hypocrisy. ”

"Shut up, Phineas," said a bearded wizard dissatisfied, "that's different, he's a Hufflepuff!" ”

"That's right." Phineas Black snapped his nostrils and said, "He's from that stupid academy, and he probably doesn't have this kind of city ......."

"How dare you ......"

The bearded wizard angrily rushed into Phineas's frame, grabbed him by the collar and said, "Say it again, what's wrong with Hufflepuff?!" ”

Underneath the original frame of the bearded wizard, it was clearly written that he had graduated from Hufflepuff.

"You, what do you want to do......" Phineas, who was grabbed by the collar, struggled: "Let go of me, you still want to beat me?" ”

"I've been thinking about it for a long time!"

The bearded wizard threw him to the ground with a punch, and then stomped him in the face.

"Stupid Academy? Ha! I'm going to show you how good Hufflepuff is today! ”

Seeing this, the other portraits ran over one after another, and then skillfully took out snacks, drinks, and small benches, and began to watch in the front row.

Watching Phoenix get beaten is their favorite pastime.

You can't live without Phoenix in the headmaster's room, just like a mermaid in the Black Lake can't live without a broomstick.

At this time, Dumbledore, who had been looking at the parchment, also raised his head.

He pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, ignored the portraits, and got up and walked to the window, looking out of the window in a daze.
