"Tsk…"
Leon pursed his lips in disdain. Although it was expected that Voldemort would not be killed this time, Dumbledore's appearance was only to send off Voldemort with fireworks, which really made Leon speechless. However, Dumbledore's appearance could be considered as taking the blame for him. He could only say that he was recycling the waste.
"Professor Dumbledore," said Harry fearfully as he stepped out of the Invisibility Cloak and looked at Dumbledore, who had suddenly appeared.
Dumbledore smiled at Harry, then looked at Leon."Do you think Voldemort'll come back after this?”
"He will. As long as the Sorcerer's Stone is still there, he will not give up. He is really in a near-death state now. In a desperate situation, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will not give up easily.”Leon looked in the direction where Voldemort's black mist had left.
"Alright, I won't hold it against you for ruining my plans.”Dumbledore glanced at Quirrell's mutilated body and frowned."How does it feel to kill someone?"
"Not very good, but as long as you treat him as a dangerous beast, you can actually get by psychologically. Why, do you want to send me to Azkaban?”Leon teased Dumbledore.
Dumbledore shook his head and looked at Harry."It's too late. You should go back first. I'll handle the rest.”
With that, he waved his wand and casually extinguished the flames around him. From this, one could see Dumbledore's control and strength in magic.
"Oh." Leon nodded as if he was playing dumb, then turned to leave. Dumbledore reached out and grabbed Leon's arm, saying meaningfully,""You stay."
"I don't trust Harry leaving the forest alone.”Leon explained seriously.
"It's okay, Fawkes will send him back.”After Dumbledore finished speaking, the fat Scottish chicken descended from the sky. Accompanied by a series of chirping and burning flames, it brought Harry Potter back to Hogwarts. Even though Harry had thousands of questions, he did not have the time to ask them.
Only Leon and Dumbledore were left in the forest.
"Tell me, how many of these Muggle weapons of war did you put in the thing I gave you?”Dumbledore looked around at the terrible battlefield and asked Leon helplessly.
"Not much. I've basically used up all of it. I only have this pistol now.”Leon showed the M1911 hanging from his waist and stuffed the empty magazine of the assault rifle into his wallet in front of Dumbledore.
"Didn't I tell you not to bring these dangerous things into Hogwarts?”Dumbledore asked, his head aching.
"Yeah, but I didn't use it against the little wizard. Besides, I'm a hunter, so it's reasonable for me to bring a few guns with me when I go out. Hogwarts is so dangerous, I have to protect myself.”Leon answered matter-of-factly.
"Hogwarts is not dangerous. It has always been one of the safest places in the British Magic World. Otherwise, the parents of those young wizards would not be so assured to leave their children with us.”Dumbledore replied.
"Professor Dumbledore, I admire your knowledge and strength, but let's not lie through our teeth. Do you really have the cheek to say that Hogwarts is safe when I just crippled that wild player?”Leon didn't hold back. He didn't give the old wizard any face. After all, he was an honest man and couldn't be lied to.
Dumbledore was angry, but he found Leon's way of speaking rather interesting. He couldn't help but laugh, completely oblivious to Leon's ridicule.
"Voldemort's appearance was an accident, and he didn't seem to have had the chance to do anything to hurt the young wizard.”
"Do you think I was joking when I was almost killed by the Reaper Curse?”Leon retorted.
"Alright, this is my negligence. So, what do you want?”asked Dumbledore.
"Just compensate me for some mental damage.”Leon smiled and revealed his fangs.
Dumbledore looked at Leon helplessly. It seemed that the interaction between the two of them would eventually have to do with Galleons. From the first time they met until now, it was as if he was a fat sheep in Leon's eyes.
Although he did have a lot of money, Dumbledore had no intention of letting Leon get what he wanted."Forgive me, this poor old man. If this continues, my pension will be empty.”
Leon gave Dumbledore the middle finger in his heart when he saw Dumbledore acting pitiful. Dumbledore's family's inheritance was basically in Dumbledore's hands now, and the hidden income from his various identities and his control over Hogwarts were enough for Dumbledore to make a fortune. Dumbledore's good friend, the first generation Dark Lord, Grindelwald's inheritance, was probably also in Dumbledore's hands. God knows how many gold and silver mountains were stored in Gringotts.
So when Dumbledore complained that he was poor, Leon didn't believe a word of it. But there was nothing he could do if Dumbledore was acting like a gangster.
"Let's not talk about this. First, pay for the viewing fees for Harry Potter.”Rather than thinking about other things, it was more practical to get the thousand gold coins that Dumbledore had promised.
"This will take a few days. I don't have so many gold coins on me. How about this, I have an empty shop in Diagon Alley. I'll transfer it to you for a thousand gold coins.”suggested Dumbledore.
"Oh, a shop. This is not something that can be bought with a thousand gold coins. Professor, if you have any requests, just say it.”Leon was delighted to hear this suggestion, but then he felt that there was a trick to it, so he immediately made it clear to Dumbledore.
After all, Diagon Alley was the gathering place of the British Wizards, and it was known as the business center of the Imperial City. It was impossible for Leon to buy a land that was worth a thousand gold coins. However, it was impossible for Leon to give up. The Chinese had always had a soft spot for real estate since ancient times. Even when the property prices were ridiculously high, there were still people who borrowed money to buy houses.
"No need, just take it as a thank you for your guidance and help to Harry. By the way, I'm quite satisfied with tonight's story. If it's possible, it would be better if you could explain it to me in detail.”Dumbledore looked at Leon, his eyes full of curiosity.
"Regarding this matter, I'm afraid one shop is not enough. If you want to know everything, you have to pay more.”Leon replied to Dumbledore seriously. Now that he had exclusive information, it was a rare commodity. Naturally, the right to make a price was in Leon's hands.
" Actually, I'm more curious about how you found out about all this. Even I didn't expect that there would be so many twists and turns and details hidden in it. If you can tell me the source of this information, perhaps I'll give you an amount that you can't refuse.”Dumbledore was back to his old, filthy rich self.
Unfortunately, Leon had no intention of telling Dumbledore all of this. After all, this was related to his very foundation. Moreover, doing business required a steady flow of water. Killing the goose that laid the golden eggs was a big taboo!
