But asking Aaron to hand over his family heirloom would be somewhat disrespectful to him.

Moreover, the value of that bottle of potion was too great, and he and Dumbledore were not familiar with each other, and there was no basis for trust between the two parties. This was no different from handing over his wealth and life to a stranger.

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

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

"No, you explained it very clearly.

But there is a contingency in everything, just in case that man in black finds you..."

"That means someone has let the secret out." Aaron interjected, giving Hagrid a meaningful look by the way.

The giant immediately took a step back, for no other reason than a guilty conscience.

Dumbledore was a little dumbfounded, but he didn't expect this little wizard to be quite cautious.

"I'll warn Hagrid well.

If you're worried, I can set a special spell on him later to make sure he doesn't tell anything about you. "

"Thank you principal, 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 in Hagrid, but his ability to keep secrets is really not that bad.

Maybe after a few glasses of wine, people will get caught up in the conversation. "

"Aaron, I'm really sorry for what happened these two days." Hagrid stood up and smiled embarrassedly, "However, I'm still very reliable."

"Hehe! Anyone can say beautiful words.

But actually... who knows! "

Hagrid lowered his head silently, feeling mixed feelings in his heart, frustration, grievance, and anger intertwined, which was very sour, but he really couldn't think of any rebuttal words.

First, Harry and the others stole Aaron's Abe, which caused them to be locked up. They didn't listen to his advice during the lock-up period, which almost put the three students in danger. Tell Dumbledore about it.

It is estimated that he is here with Aaron, and his integrity has already suffered a comminuted fracture.

"Cough cough!"

Dumbledore let out a few centenarian coughs and successfully attracted the attention of several people. He was worried that Aaron's truth would shatter Hagrid's glass heart if he continued to speak the truth.

"Let's talk about business first!

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

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

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

Dumbledore pondered for a moment, "It's just a guess, but the possibility of this guess cannot be ruled out.

Your safety really..."

"That's about the school.

In fact, last summer, before I officially started school, my father suggested that I go to Durmstrang, where he said I would be better looked after.

However, I chose Hogwarts.

Not for anything else, just because I like this school, its history, and its teaching atmosphere.

What is important is that this school has the strongest white wizard in the magic world, Albus Dumbledore, whose honors and legends are countless. "Aaron said solemnly, with a very pious expression, and he even wanted to write the words 'Dumbledore is my idol' on his face, but in fact, only he knew how many words were true.

"So, Professor, Hogwarts will keep the students safe?"

Dumbledore was stunned after hearing this, and experienced a heart convulsion for a long time.

The last time he felt this way was decades ago.

How can he answer this question?This 12-year-old little wizard must be a little bit too hurt!

Answer in the affirmative, yes, Hogwarts will ensure the safety of the students, and he is too embarrassed to ask for the potion in Aaron's hand.

No...that's impossible, Hogwarts' reputation will fall off a cliff.

Unless it is an established fact, he, the principal, has to maintain the school's face.

Moreover, this is the principal's office, and the portraits of the principals of all generations are here. If he dares to give a negative answer, these people will definitely criticize 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 not at this stage, there is an extra Dark Lord in the school!

Dumbledore didn't answer immediately, but winked at Snape, hoping he could help smooth things over.

But he was surprised to find that Snape's face kept twitching, and he didn't notice his hint at all.

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

If Aaron was putting on a show and using half-truths and half-truths to keep him from stepping down, then Hagrid was showing his true feelings and regarded Aaron as his confidant.

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

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

"It's time to say no." Aaron thought to himself.

"But..." Dumbledore paused for a moment, then smiled self-deprecatingly, "Aaron, I'm not afraid of your jokes, even I can only defeat enemies on the surface.

In the huge Hogwarts, it is impossible for me to take care of everyone, and it is impossible for me to cover everything. This is inevitable.

As for the black-robed man hiding in the dark, unless he reveals himself, I have nothing to do.

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

Aaron:  …

Good guy, really good guy.

He gave full marks for this wave of answers.

It not only guaranteed the school's face, but also gave himself enough steps. This humble and calm posture is enough to prove that he has not worked in vain for more than 100 years.

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

I apologize in advance if this bothers you.

But I do have reasons why I had to, and I hope you will forgive me.

If the man in black got that bottle of potion, it would bring a great crisis to Hogwarts and even the entire wizarding world. "

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

"Professor, thank you for not lying to me.

If your answer just now didn't satisfy me, I wouldn't take this thing out anyway. "

Dumbledore nodded with a smile, and then set his eyes on the bottle of resurrection potion, first surprised, then rejoiced.

His experience was unusually rich, and with the explanations from Hagrid and Snape, he naturally saw the heaven-defying healing effect of this potion.

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

This is much easier to use than the Philosopher's Stone, and directly saves the complicated steps of refining the elixir.

One step in place, full of blood 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 potion, it is used to save life at critical moments.

But if I hand it over to you, there is no doubt that there is no insurance for my life. "

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

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

You can order the professor once if necessary, otherwise you will feel insecure! "

"This..." Dumbledore looked at the resurrection potion on the table, which was worth no less than the Philosopher's Stone, without much hesitation, "Okay, I promise you."

Chapter 72

"Of course, Headmaster.

In fact, I also understand that the teachers in Hogwarts are relatively busy, so there is no need to notify everyone. "

Dumbledore narrowed his eyes slightly, and pondered for a while, "What do you mean?"

Aaron scratched his head, smiled and stretched out four fingers, "Four professors are enough.

Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, Professor Sprout, and Professor Snape.

Before the holidays, I had a right to call them once, on call. "

"You know it's impossible." Dumbledore couldn't laugh or cry, "I can ask Professor Snape to protect you, and add another Hagrid at most.

But it’s not enough to give it all to you. In addition to teaching, these deans also manage their own colleges, and the burden on them is not light.

If you take all the words away, most of Hogwarts will be paralyzed. "

Can't it?

Aaron didn't expect Dumbledore to agree to this harsh condition.

Bargain it!The most important thing is to meet the expected price, and it would be better to mention it on this basis.

"Those three professors." Aaron bent one of the four outstretched fingers, "Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick and Professor Snape."

Dumbledore shook his head and smiled without saying a word.

"Two, no less." Aaron said angrily, "Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape.

If you disagree, return the potion to me!

If the safety issue is not guaranteed, I really can't hand over the life-saving things. "

"Two words are barely acceptable." Dumbledore looked at Snape helplessly, "You heard that, Severus."

"Understood, Headmaster." Snape rolled his eyes at Aaron, "I'll be there when you call.

But you only have one chance. "

Aaron smiled mischievously, "I guarantee that it won't be a critical moment, and I will never disturb the professor."

"Best."

"I'll tell Professor McGonagall that she should give me this face." Dumbledore said, "Now you are satisfied."

"It's okay!" Aaron stood up from the chair, "I think I can leave now!"

"Of course, go back and have a good sleep!"

Hearing this, Aaron breathed a sigh of relief.

The matter is coming to an end here, and Abe, who is drooling at the red strange bird, is about to leave.

However, within a few steps, Dumbledore's voice came from behind, "Mr. Gaius, your cat seems very unusual!"

Aaron paused, and his heart skipped a beat.

He turned his head to look at Hagrid, only to find that the giant was shaking his head slightly at him, and kept hinting with his eyes that he didn't say anything, so he was reluctant to let go.

"The principal has eyes!

You can see how tightly I wrapped Abe.

My cat is so cute! "

"It's cute, but what I want to say has nothing to do with appearance." Dumbledore meaningfully pointed to the red strange bird on the gilded perch, "Fox, my pet, it's a phoenix.

This is the first time I've seen other animals drooling over it. "

Aaron:  …

Depend on!It's decided, I'll be hungry for a few meals after I go back.

It's fine if you can't control your saliva, but if you drool over Phoenix, do you want to eat it like a chicken?Is this appetite too big?

Although Abbe's actions made people dumbfounded, his master could only help it cover at this moment.

"Ahem! To be honest, Professor Dumbledore.

Abe may not be looking at the phoenix, but recently he likes to collect some things.
