Chapter 70 Visit

Dumbledore returned to Hogwarts and wrote a visiting letter.

And Catherine replied quickly, saying that she could do it anytime in the near future.

Since Catherine was so calm, Dumbledore didn't hold back, and visited Nozawa Garden the next morning.

Dumbledore paid more attention to influence when visiting a lady who held a huge fortune but was similar to a widow. He specially invited Minerva McGonagall together.

With the invitation letter, the strange fragrant wisteria will not cause trouble. Dumbledore deliberately chose the angle of yesterday's battlefield to enter Nozawa Garden, but no traces of battle were found in the garden.

With his ability, if there was a battle, even if 24 hours had not passed, he would definitely be able to find clues. The land could be tidied up, but the magic remnant in the air could not be perfectly concealed.

However, Dumbledore was not in vain. The content of free magic power in Nozawa Garden is far higher than that of ordinary areas, even the magic forest can't compare, that is, the special magic relics or underground caves can be compared.

Moreover, the power of darkness is obviously also heavy, almost equivalent to the underground world under a thousand meters. The environment with similar characteristics that he is more familiar with is the depths of the underground vault of Gringotts in Diagon Alley.

As an old wizard who had participated in many important events and enjoyed a high reputation, he knew very well that the seventeen pure-blood families and goblins who started Gringotts together were not just for the financial order of the British wizarding world.

An ancient and pure terror lies in the depths, and its overflowing power has long been a place of darkness, twisting the minds of magical creatures, and then forming a place of evil.

When the twisted creatures are slain, the goblins are the gatekeepers there, lest creatures stray into it and breed new evil.

In order to relieve the power of darkness accumulated there, various magic facilities were built one after another. Therefore, the vault of Gringotts is actually an underground magic fortress that operates with the overflowing magic power of the ancient sleepers.

Then, Dumbledore already has a rough guess about the situation of Nozawa Garden, which has the same magical characteristics.

Doubts arose early on. After all, the explosive rise of the Shafiq family is impossible without a strong technical responsibility.

"Dumbledore, since yesterday's dinner, you've been worried. Is there any problem with Nozawa Garden?" Minerva asked with concern.

Dumbledore responded with a smile: "It's not a big problem."

I added the second half of the sentence in my heart: "Hope!"

In Dumbledore's eyes, Minerva is a professor living in an ivory tower, and he also hopes to be like this, just like he hopes that Hogwarts will be a professor who is not affected by the outside world and focuses on learning, including the basics of being a human being. The same is true of the knowledge of truth.

He has always believed that the seven years of wizards studying at Hogwarts is an important life stage in the formation of the Three Views, so the education work during this period is of great significance and can be said to affect people's lives.

He does not expect every wizard who walks out of Hogwarts to be excellent in character and learning, but only hopes that the students can keep a few more beautiful and loving memories. These memories will become the warm light in the soul, and these lights will make everyone People have a minimum moral bottom line.

So, is there still light in Catherine's heart?

Dumbledore didn't want to think too badly about people. He felt that there was light in Catherine's heart, but there were not too many of them. There were probably two lights that could be clearly calculated, one because of Little Kane, and the other One is its aunt Pandora.

Therefore, these two people are the starting point for the conversation.

Dumbledore walked silently while thinking carefully, and then saw Catherine already greeted him outside the castle from a distance.

The beige carpet has been spread from the inside of the castle to the hardened ground outside the castle. Catherine is wearing a simple-style long dress with hidden flowers and her hair is pulled up high. Standing there, she looks graceful and graceful, full of the charm of a mature hostess , not at all the handsomeness and weathered look of a witch.

"It's hard to imagine that such a Catherine is at the helm of a huge business empire." Minerva praised Catherine's ladylike temperament and socialite demeanor in a low voice.

"Well, I still remember her appearance when she was in school, and she didn't want to spend time on her appearance."

Minerva laughed, and when Dumbledore mentioned it, she also thought of Catherine in those days. She was called a wild girl, and she was a very unrestrained and lively child, comparable to Cinderella in Muggle fairy tales. She thought that such a Catherine would be a Gryffindor, but she didn't expect the wild girl's thirst for knowledge to be very fierce. Unfortunately, God did not give her a bright mind. She worked hard, but her academic performance was not good.

"Maybe, she didn't find a suitable life position until now." Minerva thought so.

It is a kind of understanding that instead of flying over the castle, it is a short distance from the main entrance and starts to walk forward.

Catherine's is naturally the same, and it is almost the most respected one, and she personally greeted her out of the moat.

"Principal, Professor McGonagall, welcome to Nozawa Garden."

As Catherine said, she stepped forward to hug and kiss her face.

"Excuse me, Ms. Shafik." Dumbledore replied politely.

"Principal, you are too kind. Campus life is the best time in my life, and the professors not only teach me professional knowledge, but also teach me the principles of life. I will always remember this friendship. So, please You're welcome, I hope you two are like the elders at home, Nozawa Garden is always open to you two."

Dumbledore and Minerva both had sincere smiles in their eyes when they heard this.

The reasons for Minerva's happiness intersected in simplicity, and Dumbledore, with those responsibilities on his shoulders, did not allow him to be simple.

Even so, he admitted that the good start this time is not because of the respectful attitude, not because of those beautiful words, but because of the title.

The principal, the professor, this detail means that Catherine regards the relationship between teachers and students as the core. That's very good. It is a relatively pure feeling, without too many utilitarian things.

Minerva also pays attention to details. The spinster is very attentive to the exquisiteness of Catherine and the castle. She likes to remember these scenes and compare them in her spare time.

Obviously, the Shafiq family did not disappoint her. In other words, the achievements of ordinary people in the field of culture and art under the background of extremely rich material can definitely satisfy Minerva's pursuit of artistic taste.

From furniture to decorations, from pattern to layout, the first impression of Nozawaen Castle is not grandeur, nor is it full of ostentation like a palace of art, but the traces of time and the precipitation of years.

Those items that were snatched by thieves in the past have all returned here and been repaired. It is not as ostentatious and luxurious as Exmoor Manor, but only the placement of items has been adjusted to a certain extent.

In general, it faithfully reproduces the history of the Shafiq family, without hiding anything, and it feels very real.

Of course, this kind of truth is to try our best to reflect the good side. In the Shafiq family, there were high-educated and high-grade patriarchs, and there were also vulgar and rude things. Those who were not on the stage, such as sex tools or oil paintings, were not displayed. Kane didn't like it.

The simple and unsophisticated style of the castle also won Dumbledore's favor. However, he noticed the problems of the servants on the road and off the road.

Etiquette is completely fine, and Dumbledore has seen big scenes before. He dares to say that even if the Queen wants to hold the most dignified Daxing banquet, the waiter of the 'Goldfinger' level that the Queen can find will never Will behave more decently than the servants here.

What is the highest state of service, that is, it can make you feel that the place is really high-end, and it can also make you who are timid feel that you are actually very good at it, and you actually performed quite well on the spot.

When you are immersed in the feeling that you have successfully saved face and feel that you are a decent person or really smart, the real reason is that the level of service staff is in place, which not only shows your own strength, but also makes you face , feel comfortable and happy, and a little sense of accomplishment.

Jian Bai said: It is a good ladder to lift people up with one hand.

People who are old and mature, like Dumbledore, can naturally see problems outside the box. So he discovered the strong professionalism of the servants here.

But I also found another problem, there is no real emotional fluctuation.

The performance is too good, the emotions are too stable, but it seems unreal. Especially compared with the style of this castle, if you can really pay attention to these details, you will find that these servants are probably not human!

Catherine seemed to have noticed Dumbledore's little panic, and said frankly: "These people are all death row inmates in the Muggle world, and they are also Kane's experiments."

In a word, both Minerva and Dumbledore couldn't restrain their astonishment on their faces.

The amount of information is too much! You know, these people seem to have magical powers...
