Chapter 52: Introspection
Chapter 52: Introspection
Seeing that the professors had almost reached an agreement, of course, except for Snape. Therefore, Dumbledore opened his mouth to attract everyone's attention and said slowly, "In that case, I think everyone should continue to pay attention to him for a while..."
In addition to Snape, the other three deans nodded in agreement.
"Of course, Minerva and Filius." Dumbledore continued, "You two have to work harder. After all, you have the most contact with Coven Quinn. I hope you can give him some correct guidance."
"Of course, Albus." Professor McGonagall nodded solemnly.
"I can do it too." Professor Flitwick also responded.
"And Severus," Dumbledore turned to look at Snape. "I hope you don't target the child too much. You should know that a person's growth is related to environmental factors. I hope that the child can only feel the joy of growth in Hogwarts, not because of the hostility around him, which leads to him going the wrong way in the future."
Professor Snape was silent, but he did not refute anything.
"Well, let me make a summary." When Dumbledore saw this, he smiled and concluded, "In short, since Sorting Hat can be sure that the child will achieve something in the future, then I hope that the achievement will be beautiful, and this needs us to be the responsibility of the educator."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Even Snape nodded unwillingly after hesitating.
"Very good, then I will disturb everyone's rest today." When Dumbledore saw this, he smiled with satisfaction. "Next, should we talk about some relaxing things? I just obtained some cockroaches. Does anyone want to try?"
Snape rolled his eyes, his face full of disgust, while the other three Directors smiled and refused.
...
At the same time, because it was almost curfew time, Coven also sent the last batch of seniors and seniors who came to watch him.
Looking at the two roommates who were two-thirds the owner of the dormitory who were warmly sending off the guests at the door, Coven breathed a sigh of relief and then jumped onto the bed, allowing the soft mattress to bounce him up and down.
After sending the senior off, Coven's roommate, Celter, returned to the dormitory.
Seeing Coven's appearance, he asked kindly, "Eh? Coven, are you tired?"
"Yes." Coven buried his face in the quilt and replied in a muffled voice, "I haven't even had a few bites of dinner. From dinner until now, I haven't been idle."
"Oh, then you are too pitiful." Celter ran to his bed as he spoke. After bending down to rummage through the things in his hands, he asked, "I still have two pieces of chocolate here. Do you want to eat them?"
"I also have some Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans*." The skinny roommate, Dana, also said, "Do you want me to go to another dormitory to ask who else has food?"
[*TL Note: Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans were one of the most popular sweets in the wizarding world. Invented by Bertie Bott, they were almost the same as Muggle jelly beans, except the range encompassed every flavour imaginable. There was also no way of telling for sure what flavour any given bean was without tasting it, although you could try and guess by the colour.]
"Forget it. I don't want it anymore." Coven turned over and lay on his back. He raised his hand and waved it weakly. "I just want to sleep quickly now."
"Alright, now that you mention it, I'm also a little sleepy." Dana yawned as he spoke.
Celter nodded in agreement. "Then let's rest early. I think Coven must be exhausted today. Don't forget, Coven defeated the entire Slytherin House this afternoon."
"Not the entire House." As Dana took off his clothes, he corrected, "It's Slytherin House's entire first-year student."
"I don't think there's anything different." Celter put the chocolate back in his hand and retorted, "Coven is so powerful. I think even the senior students are no match for him!"
Hearing this, Dana did not refute but nodded in agreement.
Hearing this, Coven sat up and took off his coat. He muttered helplessly, "Let me go. I just want to learn magic quietly. It's better to stay away from me from all the messy things."
After a few words of idle chatter, the three of them each lay down on their respective beds. After turning off the lights, the dormitory fell into darkness.
Coven lay on his back in the quilt, but he did not sleep. He only felt a little tired in his heart, but his body was very energetic.
Unable to sleep, Coven could not help but recall the scene in the afternoon. In his mind, he recalled the various situations at that time, recalled the magic released by the group of Slytherin, and planned to try to learn it.
However, in the end, he did not succeed.
At that time, when they were attacking together, Coven was only focused on releasing the 'Iron Armor Curse' to defend. After that, he perceived the 'Iron Armor Curse' and practiced the ultimate spell. He almost did not pay much attention to what magic was released by the other side.
Later, when the crisis was lifted and changed to counterattack, the magic released by the other side was no longer fresh. It was all some spells that he had already mastered.
However, thinking about it, it was also true... Even if that group of Slytherin's 'pureblood' had come into contact with the spell before entering the school, it was likely that no parent would teach their children any dangerous spells early.
Coven recalled what happened after that, mainly the attitude of the professors at that time.
As a result, Coven gradually felt that something was wrong. After carefully recalling for a moment, Coven couldn't help but sit up, and his forehead was vaguely wet.
"Something is wrong!" Coven secretly thought, "Dumbledore looked at me too frequently at that time, and his eyes were not blaming or praising me... It was a scrutinizing gaze!"
"What did he look at me? How did I behave at that time?"
Coven frowned and carefully recalled his performance.
After a long time, Coven's heart suddenly jumped heavily, "Oh no! My performance at that time was a little too much!"
'Normal children should behave like those Gryffindor students. My performance at that time was fine if there were no other students, but the key was that there was a contrast!'
'In this way, my expression seemed to be a little different from other personalities!'
'Fake, too fake!'
"What should I do? Dumbledore must have discovered this at that time! That's why he frequently looked at me, but I didn't notice it at that time. I was only focused on acting!"
"Damn it! What should I do now? Did I go to the principal's small book in the future?"
'With my acting skills, I can only fool children and some honest people, but Dumbledore is an old thief who is 'old and won't die '.
'With Dumbledore's experience, my acting skills are not easy to fool the other party.'
'Now that I have been exposed, I am afraid that it has already attracted Dumbledore's attention, even more alert. I am afraid that it will be more difficult to act in front of him in the future.'
'If I don't act, my character is too abrupt compared to my character before school.'
'But if I act, it is easy to be seen through by Dumbledore, who has been on guard.'
'Careless.'
It seems that I will have to pretend to be a grandson for some time in the future. If I can make less trouble, I will make less trouble. If I can be a transparent person, I will be a transparent person.
After all, as the principal, Dumbledore probably doesn't have so much spare time to pay attention to me at any time, so as long as I don't attract the attention of the other party, it will be much easier.
Also, you have to pay attention to the other professors.
'For the time being, let's take it one step at a time.'
