Chapter 3： Dumbledore's sudden home visit

"Mr. Mike Towny, it seems you have read the letter we sent you."

Dumbledore was standing outside the door, and the soft sunlight outside the room shone on him, making him seem to be shining, especially his white beard.

Mike stared at Dumbledore dumbfounded, and glanced at the letter in his hand from time to time, without knowing how to react.

Dumbledore saw Mike's silly look, and continued:

"Excuse me for not introducing myself. I am Abth Dumbledore, the principal of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. This time I am here to help a little wizard like you with special circumstances."

"Principal...Mr. principal?" Mike didn't seem to react yet.

"Mr. Tonley, don't you invite me in first when the guest is here?" Dumbledore blinked at Mike, and some old boy smiled.

Mike gave a joke, and then hurriedly invited Dumbledore in and asked him to sit on the only sofa in the trash room.

"Mr. Principal, is everything true in the letter? I... I was admitted to a magic school?"

Dumbledore sat down without disdain, and looked at the clean and tidy environment in the garbage room.

"Of course, Mr. Townley, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is a long-established wizarding school. In addition, I have to sigh, your place is really unexpectedly clean."

Mike's mind was chaotic at this time. Dumbledore came too suddenly. Fortunately, Mike had seen a lot of big scenes in his previous life, and he was very adaptable.

"Um...Mr. Principal, why did the Principal come here in person? Isn't it enough to send someone to do this? Of course, I don't suspect that you are lying to me, it's just... it's just too sudden. "

Mike flushed with nervousness, and subconsciously asked his most doubtful question.

"Mr. Mike, you don't need to be nervous. We are sure that you have magical talents and meet our admission requirements. I believe you have discovered a series of abnormal phenomena that happened around you."

Dumbledore said there was a pause.

"The reason why I came here in person is mainly because the Ministry of Magic discovered that you seem to be deliberately triggering a magic riot. You know this is very dangerous. I think it is necessary for me to come here in person for your special situation. Oh! Magic riots are those anomalies that happen around you."

After all, Dumbledore glanced at the big piece of meat hanging on the steel structure of the shed.

Mike has calmed down at this time, and the emotional control training during this period is still somewhat useful. I found that Dumbledore looked at the leftover meat last night, combined with what he said before, already understood that someone had been monitoring him during this period, and the abnormal situation Dumbledore said included him last night in addition to the magic riot. What you did.

"Mr. Principal, I haven't eaten meat for a long time. I didn't mean it. I just can't help it."

Mike pretended to be aggrieved.

Dumbledore was obviously a little surprised, the child was so observant. But it is also reasonable. After all, he is a stray orphan, and his ability to detect words and colors will suffer a lot.

"Mr. Mike, I don't mean to blame you. In fact, I have seen many children similar to you. One of them is very similar to you, with the same talent, and the same sadness since childhood."

Dumbledore smiled kindly.

"I believe you are kind, and I believe Hogwarts will not let you down. Also, just call me Dumbledore, don't be so formal."

Mike couldn't help his scalp tingling when he heard Dumbledore's words. He had a hunch that the child Dumbledore said was very similar to him was probably Voldemort.

"Thank you, Mr. Dumbledore, what are the charges at Hogwarts? I am like going to school, but... I don't know if I have enough money."

Mike controlled his expression and smiled stiffly.

"Oh, Mr. Tonley, I think you may have misunderstood something. Hogwarts school has subsidies for students with special circumstances like you. You only need to wait for our follow-up staff and there is no charge."

Dumbledore explained with a surprised look.

Mike pretended to breathe a sigh of relief, his eyes flushed, and a little choked, "Thank you! Thank you! I have always dreamed of going to school, but...thank you!" Mike still cried in the second half of the speech.

"What a poor child." Dumbledore's big hand stroked Mike's short blond hair. "Don't worry, as I said, Hogwarts won't let you down."

Mike couldn't help feeling a chill when Dumbledore stroked his hair. You must know that Dumbledore was suspected of being gay, but he had to continue to look grateful.

The two talked for a while, until Dumbledore offered to leave Mike and sent Dumbledore to the door with red eyes.

"See you at Hogwarts, Mike." Dumbledore nodded at Mike, and Apparated and left.

and Mike stood at the door of the garbage room, silent for a long time.

He really didn't expect Dumbledore to visit the house in person, and he also thought that his superpowers turned out to be magical explosions.

But I just learned from the conversation with Dumbledore that his talent seems to be very strong. After all, the talent of the little wizard who is able to control his own magical burst without being hurt before the age of 11 can be imagined. This means that he is in There is an amazing talent for silent and wandless casting.

In fact, when there was no magic wand, only such people were considered to have magic talent. In modern times, because of the appearance of the magic wand, many people who were considered dumb guns in ancient times can also use magic wands to become wizards.

Mike couldn't help but get excited when he thought of this. The wizarding world is completely different from the world of ordinary people. The individual power in the wizarding world is very powerful. Even Dumbledore, Voldemort and others can fight the army alone. What it means to have a strong magical talent in such a world is self-evident.

To a Muggle wizard like him, who wants to make his mark in the wizarding world? That is almost impossible.

Although Dumbledore and others have done a lot to raise the banner of peaceful coexistence between wizards and Muggles, UU reading www. Uukanshu.com But the wizarding world is still the territory of pure-blood wizards. Muggle wizards are undoubtedly at the low end of the discrimination chain in the wizarding world, and even the dumb guns of some big families are better than them.

This can be seen from the Weasleys.

Ron’s father, Arthur Weasley, worked in the Ministry of Magic’s Department of Prohibition of Muggle Supplies and even wrote the Muggle Protection Act. But judging from the description of him in the original book, he obviously didn't know much about Muggles.

Isn’t there a Muggle-born wizard named Basser more suitable for this job?

Of course there is, but the Ministry of Magic would rather let an incompetent pure-blood wizard die in this position than recruit a Muggle-born wizard.

So, Mike wants to stand out either by overthrowing the pure-blood wizard's rule over the wizarding world, or having a power that is so powerful that the pure-blood wizard cannot ignore it, just like Voldemort and Dumbledore.

Mike shook his head and threw the distracting thoughts out of his mind.

There is one more thing imminent now.

Just now Mike learned from Dumbledore that every little wizard born in a Muggle family can use the Hogwarts Admission Notice as a voucher, in Gringotts every year at the price of 5 pounds to 1 gold gallon exchange for 100 gold Kanon.

Mike's current deposit is only more than 400 pounds, which was picked up by Mike in the past six months. I have to say that Mike's nickname is really not for nothing. The purchasing power of the pound sterling in this era is very strong, and the more than 400 pounds is no small amount.

It’s okay to sell the stuff in the garbage house again for more than 500 pounds.

Thinking of this, Mike hurriedly packed up the things in the garbage room or maybe before, and went out with a big package on his back.
