"That means that the child has gained a lot from the library of the Waley family.”Dumbledore was sitting in his comfortable chair, his eyes bright.
"No offense, Albus," said Professor McGonagall. I mean, even when you were young, you didn't have such terrifying talent.”
"To be exact, it's far from enough.”corrected Dumbledore. "So we can't let that child go down the wrong path.”
"That's right. His encounters, Merlin above, are truly heartbreaking. If he can come to my academy, I will definitely teach him well.”said Professor McGonagall, staring at Dumbledore.
"My dear Professor, as you know, the Sorting Hat is the judge, and we have no right to interfere.”
"Of course, but I still think he's the best candidate for Gryffindor.”said Professor McGonagall firmly.
"It seems that this child is already capable of taking charge of his own affairs to a certain extent.”Dumbledore nodded, grabbed a piece of parchment, and began to write quickly with a quill. "What do you think about letting him help me get that thing back? Oh, and Harry, who hadn't received his notice yet. I think he needs to make more friends of his own age. I was going to leave it to Hagrid, you know.”
"Dumbledore, Xia Zhi is only an eleven-year-old child. Are you sure he can really complete the task you gave him?”Professor McGonagall was getting anxious.
"Why not? Instead, I feel that he is completely capable of completing the mission. I think you've already seen his ability.”
"Well, you're always right.”Professor McGonagall still looked indignant.
It had been some time since Professor McGonagall had left, but Dumbledore was still holding the parchment thoughtfully.
After some time, he suddenly smiled and folded the parchment before handing it to Fawkes. "Give this letter to him. He really wants to see you.”
Fawkes picked up the letter and disappeared in a flash.
Dumbledore turned his head and said happily,"Severus, you're here? Would you like a cup of honey water and some lemon snow?”
"I heard that you still plan to let that kid enter the school normally?”Snape's face was dark.
"Of course, why not?"
"I think you're old enough to be muddle-headed, do you know how many people that kid killed with the Reaper Curse in Albania? Do you want to raise another Dark Lord?”said Snape coldly.
"No, on the contrary, if we let him wander outside, it will instead encourage him to walk on the wrong path.”
"Put him in Azkaban, then! He killed someone with a Reaper Curse, that was the truth!”
"Severus, Summer was the victim, he didn't even know what a Death Curse was when he fought back! Moreover, we can't let the victim be held accountable for hurting the perpetrator just because she resisted!”Dumbledore said calmly," Look at the children who were saved by the summer solstice. I was in Albania at the time and witnessed the torture of those innocent children.”
Snape was silent for a moment."I'll keep an eye on him. If he gives himself away, I won't be lenient! And I advise you, Dumbledore, don't trust this boy too much!”
"As a matter of fact, I've just decided to let him retrieve it for me and let him approach Harry.”Dumbledore crossed his hands on the desk and looked calmly at Snape.
"What did you say?" Snape's face changed. "Dumbledore, how dare you? How dare you trust him so easily? A young wizard who had lost his memory and was captured in Albania? Dumbledore, don't you forget why you went to Albania!”
"Of course I remember, Severus. It was because I found traces of that person in Albania that I went there.”
Snape shouted excitedly at Dumbledore, his hands on Dumbledore's desk."Then you should understand, this boy is so cruel, he could very well be the Dark Lord's new servant! Or... worse, he was the Dark Lord himself! Perhaps it was him! However, he used a special method that neither you nor I know about to resurrect into another person! Otherwise, have you ever seen such a young Magus with such terrifying talent? Dumbledore? And as far as I know, that kid came from Wood Orphanage! That's where the Dark Lord grew up! Don't you have any idea?”
"He can't be Voldemort, Voldemort wouldn't do something like save people.”
"What if he's using this to gain your trust? This was the trick he was best at when he was young!”Snape breathed heavily, then growled. "If he really is You-Know-Who, you'll be handing that thing and Potter over to him! And you promised me that nothing must happen to Potter!”
"I trust Summer, I know what Voldemort is like, and I know what his Death Eaters are like.”Dumbledore remained calm.
"Do you really trust him? Dumbledore? You used that thing to test him, right? I know you, Dumbledore! But whatever you're planning, you shouldn't have dragged Potter into this! If you lose the bet…"
"When did you start caring so much about Harry?”
Snape's breath stopped, and after a terrible silence, he said,"You know, I did it for her, for Lily..."
