The Magic of Holowarts

Chapter 20 The Dregs of the Sorcerer's Stone
What is Dumbledore trying to do?
How to talk well and suddenly want to join the group, which made Karl unexpected.

"Professor, of course there is no problem."

It’s okay to have more shareholders. Karl originally only wanted to seek technical support, but now it’s all right, and the funds seem to be available.

"You need the knowledge of alchemy, the books in the restricted area can't teach you."

"Professor, of course I know. If I hadn't met you today, I would have taken the time to visit you and ask you about these issues."

Carl went on.

"But I hope to join in your own name, not Hogwarts."

Dumbledore became interested. He himself just wanted to help these students complete the puppet Carl said, which would help improve the students' practical and magical abilities.

And he saw that the fundamental purpose of Carl's fuss about these things was to earn Galleons. Although it was a bit of a headache, it was not incomprehensible. The children in the orphanage were always a little obsessed. The Dark Lord back then wanted to get power, and Carl wanted to get more Galleons.

This reassured Dumbledore a lot, at least the kid used what he earned instead of robbing.

He still doesn't understand the power of capital very well, after all, the magic circle is really small.

"Can you tell me, Carl."

Carl put down the beer glass in his hand and looked at Dumbledore seriously.

"As far as I know, the school trustees are all pure-blood families. I trust you, but not them, and you know, I am a Muggle-born Hufflepuff."

Dumbledore was silent, he didn't expect the child to think so much.

"Referring to the sales of Chocolate Frog and Wizard Chess, I believe that as long as the products of our Secret Box Knights are on the market, those high-ranking pure-blood families will ask the flies who see the meat, it should belong to our students, not those greedy pure-bloods .”

Dumbledore broke the silence, slightly serious.

"You're biased against pure-bloods, Cal. They're just people who don't want to face reality."

Carl interrupted Dumbledore!He actually interrupted Dumbledore!Even the Minister of Magic dared not!

"Professor! I am not prejudiced against pure blood! I am disgusted with those wizards who are superior, only flaunt their bloodlines, refuse to study hard, do not pay attention to basic morals, and only know to greedily plunder the value created by ordinary wizards, and I will Not all purebloods, at least I like the Weasleys myself."

Dumbledore was a little intimidated by Carl. Carl's demeanor when expressing his views was really similar to that person. Fortunately, Carl was more rational and stood on the side of most wizards.

"Excellent speech, what if, I mean, if someone spies on your doll, what are you going to do?"

Carl picked up the beer glass again at this time. Although the butter beer is not considered alcohol and the taste is not good, he can still find some of the feeling when he was drinking Dawusu with skewers.

"Professor, it's us first, not me. That's the product of our Secret Box Knights, and it's not a doll, it's Helga's secret box. We plan to put the doll in the box and sell the box."

I didn’t elaborate on how to sell Carl, but this is an important factor in creating a huge transaction volume!
"Helga Hufflepuff would be very happy to have a junior like you, but she never had a secret box."

"I never want to have conflicts with anyone, even if their ideas are not the same as mine, I hope that everyone can seek common ground while reserving differences, and live a good life together. If someone must jump out, I prefer to use commercial means in business Destroy the opponent, if the opponent uses force, isn't it because you are still here~"

After Carl finished speaking, he gave Dumbledore a flattering smile. This flattering little expression also made Dumbledore laugh heartily. "

After laughing, Dumbledore gradually became serious.

"I'm not as strong as you imagined. When one day I'm gone, how will you face your enemies? Karl."

Carl is equally serious.

"If there is such a day, I will lead my companions to defeat all enemies! Just because we don't cause trouble doesn't mean we are afraid of trouble. Hufflepuff has never been weak. We have always wanted to live the life we ​​expected .”

"You are an excellent kid, I hope you don't forget what you said today."

Dumbledore returned to his desk after speaking, and took out a small jewelry box and a book from the drawer.

Carl stood up quickly, is this Dumbledore planning to contribute?
"The book was written by a friend of mine. I hope you will cherish it after reading it. As for this box, the contents inside can help you increase your magic power. I also hope that you will keep and use it carefully."

Carl took the things and opened the box curiously.

A gemstone just lay there quietly, a little small.

This thing can't be the Philosopher's Stone, can it? ? ! !
"This fragment was taken from a gem. Although it lost most of its magical uses and huge magic power, wearing it on it can help you solve the problem of insufficient magic power. A weak wizard has no way to protect himself. "

Carl didn't expect Dumbledore to remember this, so he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Professor, is this the Philosopher's Stone?"

Dumbledore hadn't expected Carl to know this.

"Oh? Know?"

Karl really wanted to say that Harry fans basically knew each other, but Dumbledore didn't believe it.

"I've read about it in books."

Dumbledore knew that Carl had been to the library since the beginning of school, so he didn't ask much. He didn't think the kid had any reason to lie to him.

"Yes, it's a shard of the Philosopher's Stone."

Carl was a little disappointed, it turned out that it was just the slag from the Sorcerer's Stone~ The value has been greatly reduced.

"The real Philosopher's Stone has long lost its original magical effect due to the loss of magic power. Like the book, it was obtained from my old friend. It is not as magical as in the legend, but it is also very rare because no one has it. "

Dumbledore didn't forget to make a little joke.

"These things can be regarded as my personal support to you, and the 5000 Galleons are my investment. I don't think Mr. Carl will let me suffer."

Carl didn't expect Dumbledore to be so generous!Jaw is a little sore.

He was really moved, and Karl knew that that old friend could only be Nicole Flamel, the greatest and longest-lived alchemist in this century and the last century.

"Professor, you have given too much, and I may not be able to repay you."

Dumbledore was relieved that this little Hufflepuff wizard had something different from the other Hufflepuff students.

"This is not just for your children, it is for the changes you can bring in the future, and please, Mr. Carl, stop talking badly about the Sorting Hat. It has been unhappy ever since it learned of certain rumors from the oil painting."

Dumbledore smiled, but Carl was embarrassed.

"I think everyone may have misunderstood. I will clarify for Mr. Hat as soon as possible! He is a partner who has taken risks with Gryffindor."

The Sorting Hat on the far cabinet opened dissatisfied.

"Should have sent you to Gryffindor in the first place, you rascal!"

Carl bowed to the Sorting Hat awkwardly but politely.

"Sorry Mr. Hat, I'll make my own box just like you, and everyone really likes you."

"Humph!"

The Sorting Hat stopped talking to Carl, obviously it was satisfied with the apology and compensation.

Dumbledore just watched quietly, why isn't he a Gryffindor?

He has no prejudice against the four houses, but simply prefers Gryffindor.

"Garon, I'll ask the elf to send it to you at night. If you speed up now, you can still catch up with the flying lesson in the afternoon."

After Dumbledore finished speaking, Karl bid farewell to the Sorting Hat and Dumbledore with a wink. Oh, and Fox, it has always been very cold, not as hot as its appearance.

With short legs, Carl can run and fly, flying lessons, he wants to fly even higher!
After putting the things away, they came to the Quidditch pitch. Halfway through the flight lesson, Professor Hooch didn't deduct points. Obviously she knew where Carl had gone.

　I am in charge of code words, everyone is free.

　　I have lost my collection, and I don’t know where the poisonous point is. I am entangled, and I will go to the code to suppress the shock.
