Chapter 71 Hogwarts Will Ensure the Safety of Students

Aaron looked at the kind-looking Dumbledore, gently stroked Abe's dragon head, then sat up straight and chuckled, "I refuse.

Principal, Professor Dumbledore, you are exaggerating.

The man in black robes didn't know I had such a treasure, otherwise he wouldn't have fled last night.

In other words, as long as you insiders keep the secret, I am still safe."

Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect the other party to refuse so straightforwardly without hesitation.

Hagrid stood aside expressionlessly. He hoped that Aaron would give the resurrection potion to Dumbledore for safekeeping. In his opinion, this was the most correct decision.

But he offended Aaron one after another, and it might be counterproductive if he spoke at this time.

"Aaron." Snape said with a suppressed smile, "You'd better think carefully about the headmaster's advice. It won't do you any harm."

"But there's no benefit, right?

Give someone else the extremely precious heirloom that can save your life?" Aaron teased, "Professor, how much water has entered my brain to make such a ridiculous decision?

Also, let me say something unpleasant.

I've been hurt several times these days, and I don't dare to trust others easily."

Snape was speechless when he heard this.

They were just in case to prevent Voldemort from finding another way to get a chance to resurrect.

But letting Aaron hand over his heirloom was more or less disrespectful to him.

And the value of the potion was too great, and he and Dumbledore were not familiar with each other, and there was no trust between the two sides. This was just like handing over his life to a stranger.

"I understand your concerns." Dumbledore said meaningfully, "But I still hope you can keep the things."

Aaron frowned, "Principal, did I not explain it clearly enough just now?"

"No, you explained it very clearly.

But there is always a chance, what if the man in black robes comes to you..."

"That means someone leaked the secret." Aaron interrupted, and gave Hagrid a meaningful look.

The giant immediately took a step back, for no other reason, just because he felt guilty.

Dumbledore was a little amused, he didn't expect this little wizard to be so petty.

"I'll warn Hagrid.

If you're worried, I can set a spell for him later to ensure that he won't tell anyone about you."

"Thank you, Headmaster. Really, thank you very much.

This is the best news I've heard in the past two days. It's not that I don't believe Hagrid, but his ability to keep secrets is really not that good.

Maybe after a few drinks, he'll be able to get all the information out of him."

"Aaron, I'm really sorry for what happened in the past two days." Hagrid stood up and smiled a little embarrassedly, "But I'm actually very reliable."

"Haha! Everyone can say nice things.

But in fact... who knows!"

Hagrid lowered his head silently, his heart was full of mixed feelings, frustration, grievance, anger and all kinds of emotions intertwined, especially sour, but he really couldn't think of any rebuttal.

First, he let Harry and his friends steal Aaron's Abe, which caused them to be put in detention. During the detention, he did not listen to his advice, which almost put three students in danger. In addition, he informed Dumbledore right after leaving the Forbidden Forest.

I guess his moral integrity has been shattered in Aaron's place.

"Cough cough!"

Dumbledore coughed a few times like a centenarian, successfully attracting the attention of several people. He was worried that if Aaron continued to speak the truth, Hagrid's glass heart would be broken.

"Let's talk business first!

Gaius, don't think I'm making things difficult for you. In fact, your situation may not be that safe.

You may have walked into the sight of the black-robed man."

"Oh?" Aaron smiled meaningfully, "From what the principal said, you seem to know this black-robed man very well!"

Dumbledore pondered for a moment, "It's just a guess, but it doesn't rule out the possibility of this guess.

Your safety is really..."

"That's the school's business.

In fact, last summer, when I hadn't officially started school, my father He suggested that I go to Durmstrang, saying that I would be better taken care of there.

However, I chose Hogwarts.

For no other reason than that I like this school, its history, and its teaching atmosphere.

What’s more important is that this school has the strongest white wizard in the magic world, Albus Dumbledore, who has countless honors and legends. "Aaron said seriously, acting particularly pious, and even wanted to write the words "Dumbledore is my idol" on his face, but in fact, there are a few words that are true only he knows.

"So, professor, Hogwarts will guarantee the safety of students, right?"

After hearing this, Dumbledore was stunned, and felt the feeling of heart twitching for the first time in a long time.

The last time he had this feeling was decades ago.

How should he respond to this? This twelve-year-old little wizard is too mean!

Affirmative answer, yes, Hogwarts will guarantee the safety of students, then he will be embarrassed to ask for the potion in Aaron's hand.

Negative answer... That is impossible, the reputation of Hogwarts will plummet.

Unless it is an established fact, he, as the headmaster, has to maintain the face of the school.

And this is the headmaster's office, the portraits of the headmasters of all generations are here, if he dares to give a negative answer, these people will definitely scold him for a long time.

That feeling is not good, and it has a great impact on the mood of this centenarian.

If it was a year ago, he could pat his chest and promise Aaron, but it is not possible at this stage, there is a dark lord in the school!

Dumbledore did not answer immediately, but winked at Snape, hoping that he could help to smooth things over.

But he unexpectedly found that Snape's face kept twitching, and he did not notice his hint at all.

As for Hagrid, he didn't consider it at all.

If Aaron was pretending and using half-truths to embarrass him, then Hagrid was expressing his true feelings and regarded Aaron as his confidant.

In Hagrid's heart, Hogwarts is the best school and Dumbledore is the most trustworthy person.

"Hogwarts can certainly guarantee the safety of students." Dumbledore said seriously. No matter what, he had to protect the reputation of the school first.

"It's time to say but." Aaron thought to himself.

"But..." Dumbledore paused for a moment, then laughed at himself, "Aaron, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, even I can only defeat the enemies in the open.

It is impossible for me to take care of everyone in such a big Hogwarts, and it is impossible to be comprehensive. This is inevitable.

For the black-robed man hiding in the dark, unless he takes the initiative to show himself, I have no way to deal with him.

But I can guarantee that among all the magic schools, Hogwarts is definitely the best one, and protecting students is the first priority."

Aaron:......

Good guy, really good guy.

He gave full marks for this wave of answers.

Not only did he guarantee the face of the school, but he also gave himself enough steps. This humble and calm attitude is enough to prove that he has not lived in vain for more than a hundred years.

"Aaron Gaius, I still hope you can give me the resurrection potion for safekeeping. I will return it to you intact during the holidays.

If this bothers you, I apologize first.

But I do have reasons to do this, and I hope you can forgive me.

If the man in black robes gets the potion, it will bring great crisis to Hogwarts and even the entire wizarding world."

Aaron was silent for a long time, sighed deeply, and took out the emerald green potion.

"Professor, thank you for not lying to me.

If your answer just now did not satisfy me, I would never take this thing out anyway."

Dumbledore smiled and nodded, then turned his eyes to the bottle of resurrection potion, first surprised, then fortunately.

His experience is not ordinary rich, coupled with Hagrid and Snape's explanation, he naturally saw the amazing healing effect of this potion.

It was too thrilling. Fortunately, Hagrid arrived in time last night, otherwise if the Dark Lord got this thing, there would be no need to play.

This is much more useful than the Philosopher's Stone, and it directly saves the complicated steps of refining the elixir.

One step, full health resurrection!

"Thank you for your trust, Aaron."

"But I have a small condition." Aaron said, "I believe you can see the value of this bottle of magic potion. It is used to save lives at critical moments.

But if I give it to you, my life safety will undoubtedly be less secure."

"What do you want to say?" Dumbledore said playfully, "As long as I can do it, I will not refuse."

"Hey! That's too serious, that's too serious." Aaron put the resurrection potion on the desk, "My condition is very simple, that is, before the holiday, the school should pay more attention to my safety.

When necessary, you can order the professor once, otherwise there will be no sense of security!"

"This..." Dumbledore looked at the resurrection potion on the table, which was no less valuable than the Philosopher's Stone, and did not hesitate too much, "Okay, I promise you."
