"It seems that I can discover your hidden talent and talent every time, but this seems to be only the tip of the iceberg that is inadvertently revealed.”On the way back, Professor McGonagall sighed at Leon's performance at the publishing house today.
"You think too highly of me." Leon shook his head and replied humbly. After passing through the fireplace of the Leaky Cauldron, they arrived in Hogsmeade. Leon invited Professor McGonagall to the Three Broomsticks Tavern for a drink to express his gratitude.
"You can't drink. You're still underage.”Professor McGonagall didn't refuse. She turned to Leon and teased,""Although you appear very mature, in the end, your age is still here.”
"Sigh, I also have a headache. I can't grow up overnight.”Leon replied with a smile, and then sat down with Professor McGonagall in the Three Broomsticks Tavern.
Although Professor McGonagall was very serious and old-fashioned on campus, she was unusually forthright when she drank. She drank the fiery whiskey like it was water.
However, it was obvious that no matter how good her alcohol tolerance was, she couldn't withstand a strong alcohol like Firewhiskey. Soon, Professor McGonagall was drunk, but this made her talk even more enthusiastically.
"Gryffindor hasn't won the House Cup in years, and I'm really worried about these adventurous little lions.”
"It's the same at Quidditch every year, Wood's trying his best, but our Seekers are way behind the other Houses.”
"Leon, I really think we should transfer to Gryffindor. Slytherin is a supporter of pureblood. They must be very unfriendly to you, even if Slytherin is protecting you.”
"Compared to you, I'm more worried about Potter. He isn't as mature and steady as you, nor is he as outstanding as you. But he just can't sit still. Just like his father James, he loves to take risks.”
Even though she was drunk, she still talked about everything in Hogwarts, including Gryffindor House, which she cared about the most. Leon admired this dutiful professor.
He had studied everything about Professor McGonagall in his previous life and knew that she was a strong woman. Her life could be said to be quite tragic, but she still survived. She was an independent female role model worthy of everyone's respect.
However, Leon could not agree to transfer to Gryffindor, but he still promised the drunk Professor McGonagall seriously,"Although I can't go to Gryffindor, I will help you protect everything you love.”
Although he didn't know if Professor McGonagall would hear or remember this promise, Leon still remembered it. It didn't matter whether Professor McGonagall knew or not.
Finally, after paying the money, Leon used his wand to control the Levitation Spell and flew the drunk Professor McGonagall to his side. He rented a carriage and rushed to Hogwarts. He placed her in her office and left.
But before he left, Leon seemed to have thought of something. He took out all the remaining chapters of A Song of Ice and Fire and left them in front of Professor McGonagall's desk. He wrote a note: " Professor McGonagall, thank you for your help. I think you'll be interested in the rest of the story, so I'll let you be the first person to read the entire book. I wish you a good dream. If you feel a headache the next day after you sober up, remember to boil a bowl of sugar water with ginger and brown sugar. It might be helpful.”
After the treatment, Leon left Professor McGonagall's office and bedroom. However, what Leon didn't know was that Professor McGonagall suddenly opened her eyes and sat up with a satisfied smile.
Dumbledore had also teleported to Professor McGonagall's side with Fawkes.
"Now, are you still doubting this outstanding child?”Professor McGonagall asked Dumbledore.
"No, I saw the sincerity hidden under his cunningness. He's a good child.”Dumbledore replied, smiling.
"I know. I always knew that you were the only one who was always on guard.”Professor McGonagall complained to Dumbledore.
"I can't help it. He's too similar to Tom. He's an orphan, has the same outstanding magic talent, the same cunning behavior, and the same Slytherin.”Dumbledore muttered nostalgically, then shook his head."But the biggest difference between him and Tom is that he knows how to respond to people's kindness and what he wants to pursue. He has feelings that Tom has never experienced before.”
"Oh, you don't care about his obsession with money now?”Professor McGonagall teased.
" No, on the contrary, I quite admire him for this. The pursuit of money is always more reassuring than the pursuit of power. Although I don't know why this little guy is so obsessed with money, I can see that even if one day he is really rich enough to be comparable to Gringotts, it will not cause the same harm as Voldemort.”Dumbledore replied with a smile.
"Why?"
"Because he is a little fellow who is afraid of trouble. Power is a very troublesome thing for him.”
"Alright, but this is the last time you want me to use this method to test Leon for you. If there is a next time, I will tell him without hesitation.”Professor McGonagall sighed and reminded Dumbledore.
"Of course, there won't be a next time. I don't want to make an enemy out of a wizard with such a limitless future.”
"Likewise, sweet dreams, Albus.”
Under the night sky, the conversation between the two ended here. Dumbledore had Fawkes teleport him away, while Professor McGonagall walked to her desk. She looked at the note Leon had left for her and the follow-up books to A Song of Ice and Fire, and her heart warmed.
"Looks like tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.”She carefully put away the note Leon left behind and picked up the second book of A Song of Ice and Fire, The Struggle of Kings. She had been looking forward to the rest of the book for a long time.
Leon, on the other hand, had no idea what had happened in the office after he left. Even if he had known, he would have just laughed it off. He was already mentally prepared for the fact that Old Bee did not believe him. Compared to Old Bee, Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape held a much higher place in Leon's heart than Dumbledore.
