A day at Hogwarts

Chapter 15 Meeting the Principal

At Hogwarts, if you are caught at night after the gate control time, points will be deducted and you will be placed in confinement. However, Charles has Percy as the prefect to lead the way, and Dumbledore has a note. Filch can only Disappointed to let them go.

Percy just led the way and went back after the door of the principal's office opened.

Charles walked into the principal's office curiously but with some worry, wondering what Dumbledore was looking for him for, whether it was the Sorting Hat saying that he should go to Azkaban, or because he wanted to find a piece of land to grow things, or Something to do with Harry Potter classmates?

The principal's office was very lively. As soon as Charles walked in, he found that the principals hanging on the wall were all looking at him curiously.

Dumbledore asked him to sit down on the chair in front of the desk, pushed a plate of cockroach piles in front of him, and asked with a smile on his face, "Would you like some?"

"Thank you." Charles picked one up and ate it. Not to mention the candy in the shape of a cockroach, it's not like he hasn't drunk the rejuvenating liquid before.

Something about Dumbledore was beyond his expectation: "Charles, may I take the liberty to ask a question, I heard that you have a talent for divination?"

As soon as Charles heard about it, he immediately replied: "There is such a thing. Occasionally, I look like I am in a daze. I feel like I am dreaming and see some fragments."

"However, what I often see are related things around me, such as tomorrow's weather."

Dumbledore looked surprised, and asked him again: "Does everything you see happen?"

Charles shook his head and said: "I once saw a neighbor who was hit by a car and flew when he was going out the next day, but his wife broke her head in the bathroom that night and was in the hospital for a few days afterwards. Me and Harry also helped him feed the dogs."

Dumbledore nodded, waved the Elder Wand and poured him a cup of tea and asked, "Malfoy said you predicted an accident at his home?"

Charles understood. It seemed that the bombing of Malfoy Manor was quite a big deal, and the investigation was very in-depth, even this matter was found out.

He scratched his head in embarrassment, and said cautiously: "Actually, I didn't know at first that it was his home that was bombed. I saw a beautiful house being bombed a minute or two before he entered the carriage. A middle-aged man looks very angry next to the ruins."

"Later Malfoy walked into the carriage, and I saw that he was very similar to that middle-aged man, so I thought it should be his home."

"Of course, if Malfoy looks like his neighbor, then I can't help it."

Dumbledore listened carefully at first, but the corners of his mouth twitched when he heard the last sentence.

He said: "It's such an amazing talent, I think you can start learning divination with Professor Trelawney."

However, Charles shook his head and said, "No, divination will cause a lot of trouble. For a while, the family received 26 calls asking about the weather every hour."

He felt that Dumbledore might not know what the phone call was, for example: "It's like an owl came to you in less than three minutes."

Dumbledore didn't insist on hearing what he said, so he said: "I agree with Mr. Smith's words very much. There are many intersections on the road of life. It's not that we old people think which road is right. This road It is suitable for young people. If you change your mind or hesitate in the future, you can come and talk to me."

"If you see something that you don't understand in the future, you'd better come and tell me."

Charles agreed immediately.

The matter was settled, and Dumbledore asked him another matter: "I heard from Professor Sprout that you want to grow something in the wasteland?"

"Yes, yes!" Charles nodded happily immediately, "I think it's very interesting to grow those plants."

Dumbledore said seriously: "But it's also dangerous! I think Professor Sprout should have told you."

Charles replied: "Yes, I also noticed it when I was reading today, and I will do what I can."

"I saw a plant called Moondew in the book, can I grow it?"

Dumbledore frowned and asked with a smile, "Did you see its use?"

Charles laughed a little sheepishly.

In addition to being used to make invigorating potions and other potions, Moon Dew Flowers can also be used to make super-sweet butter beer. According to his current level of a first-year student, he doesn't know how to make potions, but making butter beer sweeter is no problem. problem, and more appealing to young people than potions.

Dumbledore felt that Charles was just a first-year student from a Muggle family who was curious about the magical world. There were many such students, so he didn't pay much attention to him, so he said to him: "No matter what you want to grow, you need Professor Prout's permission."

Charles immediately agreed with a smile, and got the headmaster's nod, so it will be easy to handle in the future.

Then what Dumbledore was about to mention made Charles' heart tighten: "You seem to have a good appetite?"

Charles asked nervously, "Principal, do you want me to pay an extra meal fee?"

"No, no, no!" Dumbledore immediately shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter if you have a good appetite, I just thought of a possibility, are you hungry now?"

Charles shook his head twice, then nodded a little embarrassedly and replied, "Yes, I have some. I prepared some for dinner."

Dumbledore thought for a while, and said relaxedly: "Although your situation is very rare, it is not a big problem. The problems that can be solved by eating are not problems."

Charles asked in embarrassment: "Then when am I going to eat?"

"I don't know." Dumbledore said bluntly.

Charles was taken aback for a moment, he thought that Dumbledore was omniscient and omniscient.

Dumbledore pointed to the teapot in front of him and said: "A wizard's magic power is like water in a teapot. It needs to be replenished when it is not full. Your 'teapot' is much larger than that of ordinary wizards. I'm afraid I can't compare to you, so You consume a lot of mana every day."

Charles understood that if others were a teapot, he was a bucket.

He suddenly thought of a possibility, so he asked, "Is it possible that I... have a water leak?"

If the water is not full, in addition to the container being too big, it may also be that there is a "Xiao Ming" who is pouring water and draining water at the same time.

Dumbledore pondered, which made Charles a little worried. Could it be that he was really a clepsydra?

Charles didn't want to disturb the principal's thinking, and began to look around at the principal's office.

The headmasters on the wall were chattering away, sounding like they were discussing whether he was a colander or a jug.

Phoenix Fox was standing on the shelf and seemed to be looking at Charles very unfriendly.

After a long time, Dumbledore said: "Your worry is justified, but the possibility is not great. If there is a leak of magic power, there will be many strange things around you."

After hearing this, Charles was relieved, as long as it wasn't a colander, he could eat more at most. Anyway, the principal didn't ask him to pay for the food.

Dumbledore thought for a while, took the parchment and wrote a note to him, saying, "If you are hungry, you can find something to eat in the kitchen. You can ask those two Mr. Weasley how to get to the kitchen."

Charles accepted the note with a smile. It can be said that he lost his way in the cafeteria during the night tour in the castle.
