Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard

Chapter 60 Helping the Principal Coax Pets
The legendary Mirror of Erised, a well-known alchemy item, allows everyone standing in front of it to see what they most want.

Fantastic.

"Is this... the mirror of the soul?"

Kyle resisted the urge to take a look in the past, and turned his gaze to other places.

"It seems you recognized the Mirror of Erised."

Dumbledore appeared behind Kyle at some point, and said gently: "I'm glad you can resist its temptation, which is something that many adult wizards cannot do.

People always waste time in front of it, obsessed with what they see, and even driven crazy. "

"I just don't want to increase my troubles, Principal." Kyle turned around and said with a smile, "I'm quite satisfied with my life now."

"Wise choice."

Dumbledore walked around Kyle, came to the mirror, stroked the golden frame lightly, and said, "I must admit that you have surpassed me, an old man, because even I sometimes endure Come and have a look at it.”

"Then what did you see when you looked in the mirror?" Kyle asked in a timely manner: "Is it the true meaning of magic? Or a more esoteric theory."

"You're making me blush, Kyle."

"I'm probably not as great as you think because all I see is myself holding a pair of thick wool socks."

"There are never enough socks." Dumbledore blinked and said, "Christmas comes and goes, and I haven't received a pair of socks. People insist on sending me books."

Kyle had reason to suspect that Dumbledore was implying that he was giving gifts.After all, Christmas is less than two months away.

Just when Kyle was thinking about expressing his gratitude, Dumbledore had already returned to his desk, ordered himself a cup of black tea, and a plate full of candies.

"Would you like something to drink, Kyle?"

"Lemonade."

Dumbledore nodded, and soon there was a large glass of lemonade on the table.

Kyle took a sip and found that it tasted like ordinary lemonade, and it was not different because he was in the principal's office.

After he drank a whole glass of lemonade, Dumbledore on the opposite side was still sipping black tea leisurely, without any intention of speaking.

The portraits of the past principals on the wall are also very quiet, they are all snoring softly in their respective photo frames, but occasionally someone half-opens their eyes and looks at him secretly.

In this atmosphere, Kyle just felt uncomfortable.

Just at this time, the whistle of the Quidditch match came from outside the window.

Kyle calmed down and asked first, "Principal, what do you want from me?"

"Look at me, I was so busy drinking tea that I almost forgot my business."

Dumbledore patted his forehead, stood up and led Kyle to a tall gilded perch behind the door.

There stood a phoenix covered in flames, that is Fox.

"Fox has been getting angry with me these days." Dumbledore said distressedly: "But I don't know the reason for the problem, can you ask me?"

"Is that so?"

Kyle understood, and turned to look at Fox.He knew that this phoenix must be able to understand what Dumbledore just said.

Fox glanced at Kyle, then turned his gaze to Dumbledore, and the bird had a clear expression of disgust on its face, and it croaked reluctantly.

Kyle nodded and said, "No wonder you are so angry."

"What did it say?" Dumbledore asked curiously.

Although he is a language genius, he can even learn snake language and goblin language by himself, but Phoenix is ​​different, the language of this ancient creature is very obscure, even he can hardly fully understand it.

In addition, the angry Fox seems to have a little accent when he speaks, so he can't understand it even more.

Kyle thought about his words and said, "Principal, Fox asks you not to put cockroaches in its food in the future."

Dumbledore's expression was incredulous, "I always thought it would like that very much."

When Fox heard Dumbledore's words, he turned around angrily and pointed his butt at him.

It is a phoenix, not a chicken, how could it like bugs.

Dumbledore also realized that something was wrong, and quickly apologized, trying to make up for the mistake just now.

But Fox ignored him, no matter where Dumbledore went, it would change direction immediately, leaving only his butt.He even covered his head with his wings, and didn't listen to what he said at all.

In the end, it was Kyle who contributed his fresh white leaves and a bluebell, which barely coaxed the angry Fox.

Don't get me wrong, Kyle didn't get this bluebell from the break room, but his prize for helping Professor Sprout clean the greenhouse.

It's a pity that it's gone before it's warmed up.

Seeing Fox swallow it in two or three gulps, Kyle felt distressed.

"I knew it was right to find you."

Dumbledore patted Kyle on the shoulder happily and said, "Without you, it might take me a while to coax it well."

"It's nothing, Principal." Kyle forced a smile and said, "Is there anything else? If not, I want to watch the Quidditch match."

Kyle touched his deformed lizard skin bag, he didn't want to keep it for a minute now.

What if Fox thinks he hasn't had enough and starts a fight again? He's just a first-year wizard, and he doesn't have any extra herbs.

Besides, the Phoenix is ​​not his, let Dumbledore solve it by himself.

"There is one more small matter, don't worry, it won't take up too much of your time." Dumbledore turned around and took out a bottle of potion from the drawer behind the desk.

"This is an anti-demon potion for Mikel."

Dumbledore explained: "I originally wanted Madam Pomfrey to bring it to him, but I don't think he really wants to go to the infirmary. It just so happens that you are here, so let's take it back with you."

Kyle took the potion and couldn't help asking: "Principal, hasn't Mikel learned to control magic power yet?"

"This is not an easy task." Dumbledore thought for a while and said, "However, Pomona said that he has made rapid progress, and when he reaches the second year, he should no longer need the anti-magic potion. "

Kyle nodded.

"Remember." Dumbledore enjoined: "I know that the anti-mood potion made by Professor Snape may not be so delicious, but it is very important to Mikel. So you must make sure that he is real. Drink it instead of just dumping the potion somewhere."

"Don't worry, principal, Mikel is my roommate." Kyle smiled and said, "I will definitely watch him finish his drink."

"Then I'm relieved." Dumbledore picked up the cup of black tea again, "Hurry up and watch the game, it shouldn't be over yet."
