Chapter 106 Child, can I still trust you?
At the Hogwarts dinner for the second term, the professors seemed unchanged.
Oh, they all look very happy. Apparently having a worry-free vacation is also very healing for the professors.
When the dinner was about to end, Zhang Xun keenly felt a pair of eyes silently staring at him. When he turned to look at the person watching, he found that it was Professor Dumbledore.
Looking at Professor Dumbledore's gentle but profound gaze, Zhang Xun knew that self-evidence was inevitable.
It seems that Professor Dumbledore also has his own vision in China and understands the great changes that have taken place in the Chinese magical world in just two months.
Zhang Xun looked at the professor without giving in, and nodded slightly to show that he understood what he meant.
Professor Dumbledore responded with a shallow smile, and Zhang Xun felt more confident in persuading Professor Dumbledore to agree to his plan.
The use of attribute detectors will make the person being observed feel a strong sense of being spied on, and the more powerful the wizard, the more sensitive he will be.
Don’t you know what Professor Dumbledore’s attributes are?
Could he have already embarked on the road to becoming a god...
After leaving the common room and returning to the dormitory, Draco, who was in high spirits, discovered that Zhang Xun, who had followed everyone back to the underground lounge belonging to Slytherin, had disappeared again!
Wait, why did I say again?Puzzled, Draco could only fall asleep thinking that when Zhang Xun came back, he would tell him what interesting things he had done during the holidays...
Zhang Xun, who left secretly, naturally followed Professor Dumbledore's hint and came to the door of the principal's office.
Thinking of the drink the professor held up during today's dinner, Zhang Xun suddenly said: "Lava sparkling water!"
The gargoyle-mouthed beast glanced at Zhang Xun and jumped to the side to let Zhang Xun clear the door to the principal's office.
Zhang Xun gently knocked on the door, and when he heard Professor Dumbledore's old response from inside the room, he pushed the door open and entered.
"Oh, Xun, I'm glad you are still willing to chat with me, an old man."
Professor Dumbledore said straight to the point the moment Zhang Xun entered the principal's office. Apparently, the news from the East during the holidays made the old man worried.
"Professor Dumbledore, I'd love to chat with you. It always benefits me a lot." Zhang Xun's flawless answer made the old man's frown grow closer.
He would rather Zhang Xun, who has now gained the highest authority in China, say a few arrogant words, rather than see this young man as indifferent as a veteran.
Professor Dumbledore knew that he could not wait any longer, and he said bluntly: "Xun, I have heard about what you are doing in the Chinese magical world...
Boy, I'm sorry to say this, but it makes me uneasy. "
Zhang Xun stood up and stroked his chest to apologize. He said apologetically: "Professor Dumbledore, I am honored that you pay more attention to me than other little wizards. This reminds me of a saying spread in my hometown."
"Naughty students always make teachers more attentive. It seems that I have become the 'naughty' student in your eyes."
Zhang Xun smiled and blinked. Professor Dumbledore, who was originally feeling heavy in his heart, felt a little more relaxed after seeing Zhang Xun's playful joke.
He was so afraid that this outstanding but ill-fated child would go astray under a high-pressure environment. In the past, he had watched an outstanding child degenerate into a dark wizard, and that person also disturbed the British wizarding world. The uneasiness still lingers to this day.
Zhang Xun sighed lightly and said, "Professor, I know it may be difficult for you to believe it, but I have no intention of harming others."
Professor Dumbledore knew that Zhang Xun was referring to the group of people who died because of Zhang Xun during the two coups on Tenglong Mountain. This was also a hurdle that the professor had been unable to overcome.
Zhang Xun continued: "Professor Dumbledore, one cannot always complain about the environment or accept fate. I am a person who does not believe in fate."
"I'm not afraid to step up to the plate if it will better protect my family."
Professor Dumbledore asked softly at the right time: "Qiu?"
"Yes, I was entrusted by her father and promised to take good care of her throughout my life."
"Of course, I am [-]% willing to be the one to protect her." Zhang Xun puffed up his chest proudly, making Professor Dumbledore smile.
The professor quipped: "Oh, it's too early, but it's so romantic, I wish you all the best."
Zhang Xun laughed proudly, sat back on the chair and said, "Thank you for your blessing."
After talking about this topic, the originally heavy atmosphere finally relaxed. Professor Dumbledore listened to what Zhang Xun did during this holiday, who he met, and what Zhang Xun's countermeasures were.
Professor Dumbledore was like Zhang Xun's loving grandfather, listening to his little grandson chattering non-stop. It wasn't until Zhang Xun stopped to pick up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp that the professor said while thinking: "So you Do you want to apply for the teaching assistant position and stay at Hogwarts?"
"Yes, Professor, I have an idea to integrate the school's knowledge with my knowledge in Tenglong Mountain. After experiencing so many things, I am more and more determined to establish a magic academy of my own for the Chinese magic world!"
Zhang Xun said enthusiastically that he was very grateful to Professor Dumbledore, Professor Snape, and many other Hogwarts professors for giving him a warm feeling.
This is the sense of belonging that Zhang Xun, who has been wandering for three lifetimes, has finally found. He is happy to stay in the academy for a few years and repay the warm treatment of the professors by saving everyone who will eventually die due to Voldemort's evil deeds in the original book.
But just like a child will eventually grow up and have a home of his own.
Among Zhang Xun's next goals in life, in addition to conquering the world and establishing a great magical capital, establishing an academy of his own is also a very important part.
Hearing Zhang Xun talk about one of his ideals, Professor Dumbledore nodded happily. He was happy to see that the level of magic in the entire world was getting higher and higher.
Looking at Zhang Xun, who was handsome and full of youthful vigor, Professor Dumbledore suddenly seemed to think that Zhang Xun was more like his close friend who was finally imprisoned in Nurmengard.
Once upon a time, the two of them were so energetic, talented, and proud of everyone in the world.
They made forbidden vows together in the attic of their home, discussed magic together at home, and imagined how they would conquer and change the world in the future.
But due to an accident, the two finally parted ways. In the end, one was imprisoned in Nurmengard for the rest of his life, and the other sat in Hogwarts. I had to lament the mockery of fate...
I wonder if Zhang Xun will eventually become the one who puts aside his power and devotes his life to education, or will he be the Grindelwald who wants to conquer and reform the world?
Professor Dumbledore stopped from his memories. He looked at Zhang Xun deeply. The small round-framed glasses hanging on his tall aquiline nose obscured the professor's eyes. He slowly made the final decision. He opened his mouth and asked:
"Child, can I still trust you?!"
