Although Snape didn't know why Leon had such a big reaction to a simple sentence, he was already used to Leon's neurotic and inexplicable behavior. However, he wasn't angry at Leon's offensive behavior. After all, Leon's concern was still very useful to Snape.
"But what about Defense Against the Dark Arts? Those young Magi who did not know anything would not be able to deal with the threats of the various dark Magi and dark creatures that they might encounter in the future.”asked Snape, turning sideways to avoid Leon's hand.
Anyway, Leon was full of tricks. He wanted to see what kind of answer this guy would give him.
"We'll have to go to Dumbledore about this.”Leon already had a vague plan in his mind, but he still needed to find Hogwarts 'leader to settle the specific implementation and concerns.
"I'll go with you, but Dumbledore might not be in his office, he's busy with your nomination for the Order of Merlin.”Snape reminded Leon.
"Even if you say so, I can't give Professor Dumbledore a discount for the thousand gold coins he owes me, not a single cent less!”Snape wanted Leon to owe Dumbledore a favor, and Leon naturally wouldn't refuse, but if it involved Galleons, that was another matter.
"Your obsession with gold coins is already comparable to You-Know-Who's desire for immortality.”Snape listened to Leon's strange expression. He really couldn't understand why Leon cared so much about Galleons.
Snape was extremely glad that he didn't owe this guy money. Otherwise, Leon would definitely come to his office every few days and put on an unceremonious face. Leon was definitely capable of doing such a thing.
"In this cold world, only Galleons can bring me a trace of warmth.”Leon replied with a smile. He couldn't tell them the exact reason.
" The potion materials you asked me to help you purchase last time should be here by tomorrow. However, I must remind you that you ordered too many. If you don't properly store them, the potions that you don't use in a hurry might lose their medicinal properties. Therefore, I suggest that you store the potions in my basement. If you want to refine potions, you can come directly to the basement. If I'm free, I can also guide you on the techniques and knowledge of potions.”
Snape and Leon began to talk about something else on the way to the Headmaster's office.
"It's okay. I have my ways." Leon smiled and rejected Snape's offer. He wasn't afraid of the loss of medicinal properties. The potion materials in the Fully-Automatic Cauldron were all in a state of Time Freeze. After all, it was a system product. If it didn't have such an auxiliary function, the Fully-Automatic Cauldron wouldn't be worthy of the purple grade reward level.
"It's best if you have a way." Snape didn't question his words. How much was this mysterious little guy hiding? Even Dumbledore couldn't figure it out, so how could Snape know?
He went straight to the headmaster's office and looked at the familiar but still ugly stone beast. Snape gave a secret order."licorice."
Another name for dessert. This made Sne think of Leon's nickname,'Old Bee'. It was quite appropriate. He just didn't know what strange nickname this little bastard had given him.
Snape thought to himself as he led Leon into the headmaster's office. All the portraits of the previous headmasters in the office looked at the two of them. There was no sign of Dumbledore in front of the desk, nor was there a Phoenix on the bird rack. It was actually a Scottish fat chicken named Fawkes whose body was on fire.
"Looks like our principal is still on the move.”Snape teased Leon." Even so, you still haven't given up on exploiting his pension?”
" No family's pension funds can fill up the vault. I'm doing this to prevent Dumbledore from being charmed by a young witch or wizard with ill intentions in the future. They'll crazily bewitch him, and he'll end up in a tragic situation like Dalang drinking medicine.”
It was still a strange answer that Snape couldn't understand, but there was a certain piece of information that was exposed. The next second, Snape remembered it and chose to delete it from his brain. He wasn't prejudiced against anything, but he felt that this label would damage Dumbledore's image in his heart. He definitely wasn't afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold back his laughter and would inexplicably offend two top wizards.
" As for whether my pension can really fill Gringotts 'vault, please forgive me for not saying anything. However, I still keep my promise. Now, this shop belongs to you, and our debts are settled.”
At this moment, Dumbledore's intelligent voice rang out in their ears. Fawkes, who was standing on the old wizard's shoulder, seemed to be telling them that the mythical beasts could do whatever they wanted. In this forbidden Hogwarts, only the phoenixes and house-elves could freely use the Shifting Forms.
Dumbledore then handed Leon a bronze key and a contract."I've already transferred the ownership of this shop to you. You little fellow, you clearly like Galleons so much, yet you don't have a vault of your own in Gringotts. You even had me make a trip for you.”
"Oh, are we really giving the shop away for free? This favor is too big. I can't repay it.”Leon accepted the key, but he did not accept the contract that represented the shop in Diagon Alley.
"Consider this my investment in you. If you feel bad about it, I'll take a share of the Galleons you earn from the shop in the future. Otherwise, one day, my pension that you're after will be squandered. At least I don't have to live under the bridge.”Dumbledore teased with a smile, then stuffed the contract into Leon's arms.
Leon nodded and didn't say anything. Sometimes, promises and promises didn't need to be expressed in words.
"Now, can you tell me what new plans you have for coming to my office? Or is there something I don't know that you need to tell me?”Dumbledore placed Fawkes on the bird-teasing rack, then sat down in his chair. He summoned two more chairs for Leon and Snape to sit down as he asked expectantly.
"This whole thing was caused by Professor Snape's temporary appointment as Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor.”Leon spoke first under Snape's gaze.
"He's afraid I'm bearing You-Know-Who's curse on the position.”Snape added, looking rather smug.
"So, you're here to persuade me to take back the transfer order?”Dumbledore looked at Leon and asked in return. He looked quite happy. After all, Leon was concerned about Snape's safety, which was a good thing. Little Tom had never cared so much about others.
"No, on the contrary, I have an idea, so I need to verify the answer to a question from you before I can know if it's feasible.”Leon replied.
In the next second, Snape and Dumbledore's expressions became strange. After all, they really couldn't figure out the method that Leon was talking about. God knew what this young wizard with a novel brain was up to.
