“Of course...”
Even Dumbledore was shocked by Wayne's incredible thought process for a moment, before he smiled and said:
“This school rule was established to prevent students from causing trouble with their pets that they cannot control.”
“You and your... Phoenix? Is that what you call him? Have a good relationship, and phoenixes are kind, intelligent magical creatures. I won’t deduct points from you because of this.”
“That’s good.” Wayne pretended to heave a sigh of relief.
“It’s a bit disrespectful to talk to me while you’re dressed like this.” Dumbledore looked at his own clothes and asked with a smile:
“Would you like to have some afternoon tea with this old chatterbox? It’s after your afternoon classes.”
“Perhaps I can share some experience with you in raising phoenixes.”
The surprises Wayne brought him were increasing.
Old Deng, who originally wanted to observe him in secret for a while longer, could only change his plans now.
He needed to get to know Wayne better by being close to him.
“My pleasure.” Wayne didn’t refuse, and Dumbledore seemed very happy.
“The password is cockroach heap, the Headmaster's office is on the eighth floor.”
After speaking, Dumbledore turned to leave.
As for Fawkes, the two phoenixes flew out of the castle during their conversation and disappeared.
Let him and Fawkes play more.
After being lonely for so long, he finally found a companion.
Dumbledore understood Fawkes’ excitement.
Wayne also planned to put his luggage back in his dormitory and then go to class.
“Wait a minute, Lawrence.”
Snape's sinister voice came, he didn’t know when he arrived in the hall, he just stayed silent and watched.
Seeing that Snape called Wayne, the little wizards who were around him, wanting to ask him more about the phoenix, immediately hid far away.
Cedric gave him a look of good luck and slipped away quickly.
Bah, you jerk.
Wayne looked at him disdainfully, then looked at Snape.
“Professor, is there something you need?”
“What are these two packages?” Snape lowered his head and looked at the packages in Wayne's hands.
One was square, the other was long and thin.
Wayne told the truth, “Some materials, and a Firebolt.”
Snape was stunned.
Is this Hufflepuff?
So honest?
He had some guesses in his mind when he saw the shape of the package, so he waited until Dumbledore left and stopped Wayne.
He thought of countless excuses Wayne might use, but the only one he didn’t think of was admitting it directly.
For a while, Snape was a little suspicious.
Is there really a Firebolt in here?
“Open both of them, I’m going to check.”
“As a professor, it’s my duty to prevent students from bringing dangerous items into the castle.”
Snape decided to have a look first.
Wayne was helpless, he’d told the truth, but Snape still wanted to check, he was really bored.
Without hesitation, Wayne opened both packages.
The square box contained a pile of magical ink, various grades of parchment, and a few potions.
The rectangular box also contained, as he said, a Firebolt.
It was the latest customized version of the Firebolt 2000, it could light up when flying, and Wayne’s name was engraved on it.
Compared with the regular version, the custom version had exactly the same parameters, but the price was almost doubled.
Don’t ask, it’s a matter of faith.
Do you understand the gold content of the prodigal eye?
Anyway, Cedric's eyes were red again.
The twins, who were hiding and watching the fun, jumped excitedly.
“Firebolt 2000! Wayne bought a Firebolt 2000!”
“Merlin’s beard, where did he get so much money?”
Hermione frowned, she was unhappy.
How did Wayne spend money so recklessly again?
“Lawrence...” Snape took a deep breath and said after checking, “You should know that the school doesn’t allow first-year little wizards to bring Firebolts to school, right?”
“I know.” Wayne said naturally, “It’s written in the admission notice.”
“So you’re deliberately breaking the rules.” Snape sneered, “How many points should I deduct from you... but...”
Before Snape could finish, Wayne interrupted him.
“Professor.” The young man looked at him strangely, “How did this Firebolt get here?”
Snape frowned, “Of course it was sent by your phoenix, don’t tell me it’s not yours, it has your name engraved on it.”
“It’s mine.” Wayne repackaged the package, “You said it was sent by the phoenix, I didn’t bring it to school.”
“Then tell me, what school rule have I violated?”
Snape was speechless for a moment, the little wizards watching were all delighted.
Smart.
The school only said that they couldn’t bring it to school, so it shouldn’t be considered breaking the rules if it was sent by an owl, right?
Many first-year freshmen were already restless and wanted to write home.
Snape was furious, “Sophistry! Insulting the professor, deduct five points from Hufflepuff!”
Meanwhile, the system in Wayne's mind also sent out a prompt sound.
【Host deducted points for the academy, gained 25 points】
Wayne's pupils dilated slightly.
This was the first time he deducted points from Hufflepuff, this ratio was exactly the same as the ratio of earning Galleons.
Deduct two hundred points, and that’s a ten-pull.
In an instant, Wayne looked at Snape with a different look.
Snape thought Wayne was afraid, a rare smile appeared on his lips.
“Of course... if you’re willing to share some materials from the phoenix, I can cancel the punishment just now.”
Yes, Snape had his eyes on Wayne's bird.
The reason why he deliberately came to pick on him was to obtain some materials from the phoenix.
Phoenix tears, feathers, and even blood are the main materials for refining many high-level potions, they’re literally treasure all over.
He, a potion master, seeing a phoenix, was just like seeing a pig.
It’s a pity that Fawkes didn’t pay any attention to him, and Dumbledore wouldn’t go against his pet’s will.
Now Wayne suddenly showed that he also has a phoenix.
How could Snape sit still?
“Professor...” Wayne looked at him expectantly.
“You agree?” The old bat smiled.
Wayne shrugged, “No, I think you deducted too few points, I don’t feel anything.”
Snape:...
What’s wrong with you!
