Just entered the hall, it was just dinner time, the four tables were full of little wizards, but the atmosphere was not noisy, the little wizards sat upright and ate gracefully.
Professor McGonagall, who was sitting on the teacher's seat, was full of joy, and he was no longer as serious as before.
Ahem, it turns out that good habits can be formed under the supervision of external forces.
The few whispers and clinking of cutlery in the hall died away when Shaw appeared.
With a lot of weird peeping eyes, Shaw resisted the thought of Legilimency, and came to the Slytherin long table pretending to be calm.
Those voices that had disappeared only reappeared after the first seated.
A few dishes of his favorite delicacies soon appeared on the table, and the steaming aroma was very scorching.
Xiao Er pinched the chopsticks and prepared to put them down, while casually asking Alice who was already drinking papaya soup after dinner.
"How's the investigation going?"
Alice put down the soup bowl, wiped her mouth with a napkin first, and said in a lower voice after pulling back her blue hair.
"The chief estimate is good, there are indeed weird things about your rumors, and three suspicious people have been found so far.
The two little Gryffindor wizards exaggerated together, one was Ron, the youngest son of the Weasley family, and the other was Cormac McLaggen, whose family was quite powerful in the Ministry of Magic. "
Alice paused when she said that, glanced at Draco who was eating food silently with his head down, and then continued.
"And there's Pansy Parkinson."
When Xiao Er heard the names of these three people, the hands that put down the chopsticks stopped.
Neither Ron nor Pansy surprised him much.
As for Cormac McLaggen?
He seemed to have a little impression, and recalled it carefully. It seemed that this man competed with Ron for the goalkeeper in the original book.
He was also a member of the Slug Club, and his highlight moment was a brief date with Hermione.
Since Cormac was invited into the slug by Slughorn, an old snob, he must have an unusual family background.
This Gryffindor is a person who likes to show off, and he likes to point fingers, and he can't understand himself, but he can say it, but Shaw thinks it's not that simple.
After pondering for a while, he ordered.
"Look up all the details of this Cormac McLaggen."
Alice also knew that the rumors were strange, so she nodded solemnly.
"Okay, chief, I will continue to investigate other people."
Xiao Er didn't say anything, and continued to eat dinner.
Draco looked up at Shaw and sighed slightly in his heart.
After Shaw finished his dinner, he refused Draco, who was hesitant to speak, to go with him, and walked towards the eighth floor alone.
He had to hire Ziying a teacher for himself.
Chapter 126 Old Man, How Did You Sell Me!
Xiao Er came to the eighth floor. Since he didn't get the password in advance this time, he could only start to report the sales list and the name of Huaxia tea of Duke Bee Candy Store.
Facing the gargoyle, it was a burst of blind passwords.
"Pile of cockroaches?"
"Big red pouch?"
"..."
"Longjing before the rain?"
"Strange Dobby Beans?"
"Can't you die?"
It's still wrong to read it dry.
But just as he had given up and began to report the name of a dish at random, the gargoyle suddenly began to spin upwards under his astonished gaze.
Xiao Er wondered when the old bee liked dishes?
However, Snape's black robe appeared flutteringly from the spiral staircase.
This made Xiao almost blurt out: Excuse me, goodbye.
Snape stood on the steps, looking down at Shaw with disdain.
"Hey, Blake, what brought you back to Hogwarts, a busy man?"
Xiao Er touched his nose and looked up at the old bat, feeling a little awkward.
He simply stepped up the steps until he came to a step higher than where Snape was.
Then he turned around and joked to Snape's back.
"Dean, are you being used by the principal again? How much money he gave you, I will pay double."
Snape's neck was a little stiff, his eyelids were twitching, and he resisted the urge to turn around and spit on Shaw, and pointed out something in his mouth.
"If you can really kill the Dark Lord, this matter is not beyond discussion."
Shaw was stunned, and looked Snape up and down. It seemed that the old bee had said a lot to the other party, but he didn't know how much he revealed.
Did Snape just say that to himself on purpose?
So Xiao Er also opened his mouth to test.
"Principal, it is my duty to kill the Dark Lord, how about this, I don't ask you for anything else, why don't you give me an O in your Potions class from now on?"
"Heh, when you know that many corrosive potion materials are collected, even wearing dragon leather gloves will hurt your hands, come and discuss with me about the results."
After saying that, Snape walked down the steps, and the black robe rolled away.
Xiao Er stood still.
Snape's words are very meaningful, implying that it is not safe to use white gloves?
Is the old bee aware of something?
Or is there something wrong with the Death Eaters?
He shouldn't have exposed anything. Tom only summoned the Death Eaters today. Even if the news spread, it was impossible for him to reach Snape so quickly.
But think of Snape as a super existence who can do several spies well.
He also has a lot of friendship with Lucius and others, and is also a well-known existence in the group of dark wizards.
Sources are not limited to Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix.
Snape, who has a negative EQ and a super high IQ, can analyze many things with just a few doubts and clues.
In the original book, Snape can only count on Dumbledore to kill Voldemort, so it seems that he knows everything about the old bee, obeys what he says, and is led by all kinds of noses.
In fact, Si taught this man, who had never been loyal to Dumbledore.
With the current superficial situation, Snape would definitely have reservations about Dumbledore with the addition of himself, who could control Voldemort.
For example, it can be seen from the reminder just now.
Another example is that I didn't ask much when I prepared a custom-made hallucinogen for myself last time.
Xiao Er found it very interesting for a while, but after thinking about it for a while, it seemed that it did no harm to him.
Turn around and go up the stairs, and then look at the attitude of the old bee.
After half an hour.
In the principal's office, Shaw watched silently as the old man Dumbledore was making traditional milk tea with a serious eye.
I just feel this picture is so magical.
Dumbledore didn't use magic, he boiled water, put tea, added milk, poured sugar...
Then add gelatin to thicken it.
Ding, Dumbledore's version of milk tea is successfully made!
Dumbledore raised his hand, brought a cup of hot milk tea to Shaw, and greeted Shaw with a smile.
"How about a taste?"
The corner of Xiao Er's mouth twitched, and he didn't take the cup immediately.
He waved his hand and took out a box of pudding from the ring, then used magic to cut the pudding into balls and put them in the milk tea, then inserted a straw.
Xiao Er just picked up the quilt, bit the straw and took a sip. The beads mixed with milk tea entered his throat, it was really fragrant.
Hmm, this is authentic milk tea.
Milk tea without beads is soulless.
Dumbledore watched Shaw's actions with great interest, and then added some pudding to himself, and changed a straw with Transfiguration.
So there was a wonderful scene in the office where the old and the young drank milk tea with each other.
Dumbledore drank all the milk tea, put down his cup and sighed in admiration.
"That's right, sweet sugar and bitter tea, mixed with mild milk, are already mellow and delicious. I didn't expect that after adding this pearl-like pudding, the taste will change."
Shaw continued to drink his milk tea slowly without responding. He knew what Dumbledore meant by the riddleman.
The two people's initial views on sweetness and bitterness are not only an argument for whether life is sweet first and then bitter, or whether bitterness comes after suffering.
In fact, it is more similar to the concept of internal eagles and doves.
Dumbledore's change to the wizarding world is to advocate growing slowly in small happiness.
It was also seen that when Xiao Er governed the school, he followed the principles of the new students after the Thunder, and the growth after the labor pains. I was afraid that he would spread this idea to the outside world in the future.
Dumbledore couldn't use words and examples to guide Xiao Er for a while, so he wanted to tell Xiao Er a truth through the milk tea.
Sweetness and bitterness can coexist as long as you add mild milk and round pudding, you don’t need to die first.
Shaw didn't know how to speak for a while, he didn't come to play tricks with Dumbledore today as a riddler.
And asking for others, it's not easy to pour poisonous chicken soup back.
