Twain looked at Dumbledore curiously.
"Is it really as serious as you said, Professor?”
Dumbledore sighed.
"I also hope that I'm overthinking it, but I just did a small experiment and found that my guess was correct.”
Twain's eyes flickered.
"That sword?"
"That's right."
Dumbledore picked up the crossguard he had just borrowed from the knight in armor.
"The sword in a knight's hand is equivalent to his life. Under normal circumstances, I would be rejected without hesitation if I borrowed a sword from him, but this time, I succeeded.”
"Only the master whom the knight swore loyalty to can take away the other party's sword.”
"The armored knight belongs to Hogwarts Castle. Only the owner of the castle can gain its unconditional trust.”
Twain looked at Dumbledore calmly.
"So Professor, you borrowed this sword just to prove this?”
Dumbledore took out his wand and pointed it at the crossguard sword in his hand.
The ancient and dull crossguard sword instantly became the same as Gryffindor's sword.
Dumbledore found a shelf and placed the sword on it.
"This sword is now under my care.”
Twain glanced at the real Gryffindor sword.
"Where is it?"
"The Sorting Hat chose you as the heir of Gryffindor and gave you the sword because it saw that you could become someone with Gryffindor's noble qualities, so it belongs to you.”
Dumbledore winked at Twain, and a hint of slyness flashed in his eyes.
"Of course, I'll announce to the public that the sword in your hand is just a replica. It'll be a special reward for finding the Sword of Gryffindor.”
Twain got Gryffindor's sword and owed Dumbledore a favor.
At least on the surface.
However, the reality was the opposite.
Gryffindor's sword was good, but the owner of the sword was in a lot of trouble.
The demon had always wanted to snatch this sword back.
Knowing that the sword was at Hogwarts, they would do anything to steal it.
Although it would be difficult to steal something from Dumbledore's office, if the goblin succeeded and found out that it was a fake sword, it would be easy to guess who had the real sword.
Dumbledore had obviously thought of the same thing.
"Three years. I can guarantee that the goblin will not be able to obtain this sword during this period.”
Tang En knew very well that this was not Dumbledore's special care, but a deal.
"What do I need to do?"
"I need you to promise me that you will not interfere with the normal operation of the castle.”
Twain looked at Dumbledore with some amusement.
"Is that all?"
Dumbledore immediately guessed what Twain wanted to do and flatly refused.
"Professor Dippet is certainly not the best Headmaster of Hogwarts, but under the circumstances he is the least bad choice.”
Twain shrugged regretfully.
As long as Dumbledore agreed, he could immediately strip Ammand Dippet of his headmaster's authority.
Unfortunately, Dumbledore did not fall for it.
Dumbledore would never be the headmaster of Hogwarts before he figured out how Twain had obtained the authority of the founder of Hogwarts Castle and found a way to deal with it.
He did not want to be " dismissed " by Twain easily.
The current situation was better than Dumbledore had imagined. At least Twain did not deny that he had obtained the rights to be the founder of the castle.
Before Greenward was defeated, both sides were on the same side.
Twain put Gryffindor's sword into the pocket where he had cast the Traceless Stretching Charm.
He already had a preliminary idea of the use of this sword, but the specific implementation details still needed to be perfected.
It just so happened that Dumbledore had promised him a three-year novice protection period, giving him plenty of time to implement this plan.
"Professor, if there's nothing else, can I leave first?”
Dumbledore drew his quill from his ink bottle and was about to write the password to the Gryffindor common room for Twain when he suddenly remembered that it was unnecessary.
With Twain's current authority, there was no place in the castle that he could not go.
When he reached the door, Twain suddenly turned around.
"Professor, you might have forgotten something.”
" You're allowed to sign in the restricted area?"
While he had a pen in his hand, Dumbledore scribbled his signature on the parchment and handed it to Twain.
"Although you may not need this now, I should still abide by the agreement. At the same time, I hope that you won't share this opportunity with your friends.”
Tang En secretly laughed in his heart.
Now she was worried that he would teach Dark Magic to others?
In fact, Dumbledore was thinking too much. Twain would definitely teach black magic to others, but that would be black magic after he had washed his name.
And that was not what he wanted to remind Dumbledore about.
"Professor, you promised me that you would discuss with the professors of the other courses and allow me to not have to attend classes every day, as long as I take the exam at the end.”
"Twain, I'm sorry--"
"Why? The other professors don't agree?”
" Not exactly. You know that Hogwarts has a low number of new students this year. The school has decided that there will be no more separate Houses at your level. All four Houses will be in the same class, and many classes require one-on-one practice. If you don't go to class, it means that one of your classmates will be left alone.”
"Professor, with all due respect, the first-year curriculum is too easy for me, and if I go to class, it might hit some students 'fragile self-confidence.”
Dumbledore laughed.
"You are absolutely right. In view of this situation, I have discussed with the principal and a few other professors. Everyone has unanimously decided that you can be the classroom assistant and be responsible for demonstrating to everyone.”
"All courses?"
"It depends on you. We won't force you.”
Twain did not even think about it.
"Can I refuse?"
" I think you should first listen to the benefits of being a classroom assistant. First of all, you can help Gryffindor win 100 points in the House Cup at the end of the year. Secondly, as a classroom assistant, you will be given the same power as a prefect. Of course, this power is limited to students in the same year as you. Finally, if you can accept the above conditions, I can agree to an additional request of yours.”
