"I know a lot of things, such as construction and decoration. To be honest, if your cabin needs to be rebuilt, just come to me. Really, trust my skills." Kaisen patted the dust off Hagrid's coat and said.
"Yes, I will." Hagrid buttoned up all the buttons on his coat again. As for why he came to Knockturn Alley, which was obviously not a good place, Kaisen did not ask.
The world is not black and white. Anyone who comes to such a place is not a good person, and Kaisen does not have that kind of curiosity.
More importantly, he believed that Hagrid was a good man and would not do such evil and beastly things.
"Now what, back to Hogwarts?" Kaisen asked Hagrid again.
"We're done with our business, and Harry's as well."
As the three of them talked, they came to the Leaky Cauldron. Hagrid had a room in the Leaky Cauldron until September 1st, when school started.
"I don't think you would like to go back to your so-called aunt's house, so please stay here. When the time comes, come directly to this address and take the Hogwarts Express to get to Hogwarts, okay?" Hagrid said as he packed the map and the Hogwarts Express train ticket and handed them to Harry.
"I will, don't worry, don't worry about me."
Harry nodded.
"Well, you can go to Old Tom's for three meals a day. He's a good cook. Of course, Diagon Alley is also fine. As long as you don't go to Knockturn Alley, you'll be safe. Also, I left a surprise for you at Old Tom's. Go take a look." Hagrid added.
"knew."
"Finally..." Hagrid raised his head and looked around to make sure no one noticed them, then he whispered, "The wall of the patio has been repaired. Now I'm going to tell you how to enter Diagon Alley correctly. There's a trash can in the corner of the patio. Count three bricks up and two bricks in the middle. Tap it three times with your wand. Remember..."
After Hagrid finished speaking, he looked at Kaisen carefully.
"OK, OK." Kaisen shrugged and said.
"Uh-huh, you guys leaving now?" Harry asked.
"I'm sorry, but I still have work to do at Hogwarts."
"Okay then, see you at the start of school."
"Yeah, see you at the start of school."
After saying goodbye to Harry, the two threw two silver Sickles to Old Tom and each took a handful of Floo powder. Kaisen remembered that he had seen how to use this thing in a book.
He threw it into the flames of the fireplace. As the flames turned green, Kaisen said, "Hogwarts Alchemy Professor's Office."
boom!
The first thing I did after returning to the office was to change into dry pajamas. As for the clothes I took off, I put them in the dirty clothes basket in the corner. The house elves would quietly take them away, wash them, and bring them back.
"One night and one day, I'm so tired." He lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.
The house elf quietly placed some sleep-inducing aromatherapy on his bedside table and took away his dirty clothes.
After sleeping until the next morning, Kaisen sat up from the bed and took a casual shower. After getting dressed, he opened the office door comfortably and ran into Dumbledore who was taking a walk.
"Oh, Kaisen, how was your adventure yesterday?" Dumbledore asked curiously.
"Is that an adventure?"
"Why not? Life is about constantly doing things you have never done before. We can call this process an adventure," Dumbledore explained.
"Maybe, it's beautiful, but of course there are also bad things. I killed three people." Kaisen shrugged and said.
[Satisfaction from Dumbledore +10]
[Dumbledore's Favorability +10]
[Dumbledore's trust +10]
"Three dark wizards, I know. I wanted to ask you and Hagrid about them in detail yesterday, but you fell asleep so I didn't wake you up." Dumbledore nodded.
"Uh-huh... I thought you'd be mad."
"Good people shouldn't be hurt because of their kindness. Do I look pedantic?"
Kaysen looked Dumbledore up and down.
"At least he looks old."
"Of course. Anyway, I don't blame you. They should have thought that this day would come when they chose to use dark magic to do evil." Dumbledore said with a smile.
"Honestly, you're a really good principal. I used to think you were... a non-killing person."
"That would be foolish.....You met that kid? Harry Potter?"
Kaisen nodded. "He's a rather poor child. Hagrid said his family's treasury is quite rich, and you were the one keeping it safe before. Why didn't you think of giving his uncle and aunt some alimony? That would probably make his life much better."
"I'm sorry, an old man may live long enough, but he is not a perfect person. This is my oversight." Dumbledore smiled.
"Okay...I'll pay the alimony for you."
"Thank you very much. Please write a report and submit it to the school board. They will reimburse you."
"Well, that's not the case."
The two chatted all the way until they arrived at the door of Dumbledore's office.
"I wanted to say this before, at your age, you still climb such high stairs every day, is it really okay?" Kaisen followed Dumbledore to climb the stairs, and did not forget to complain.
"This is the secret to my good health."
"Okay." Kaisen shrugged. After the two entered the office, Dumbledore sat in the office chair. He rummaged through his pockets, took out a small cloth bag, and put it on the desk.
Kaisen, who was sitting opposite him, took it curiously and pulled out an irregular red stone.
"This is the Philosopher's Stone made by an old friend of mine, Nicolas Flamel. It's called the Philosopher's Stone, the pinnacle of alchemy," Dumbledore explained.
"I'm sorry, but you're talking to a cow." Kaisen curled his lips and complained.
"Because you can do something far more powerful than this Philosopher's Stone. In short, Nicolas Flamel and his lover were already prepared to face death, so they gave me this stone. Of course, it was also because a rat hiding in the dark had his eye on this thing, so he also asked me to keep it for him."
"So what are you going to do?" Kaisen asked.
"Can you help me make a replica? I need authentic magical material with similar magical fluctuations. I want to use it to fish, but I don't want the fish to actually eat the bait, so I came to you for help."
Kaisen looked at the blood-red Philosopher's Stone in his hand and smacked his lips...
"It's not difficult."
