I’m Really An Alchemist

What exactly am I nervous about?

"You're drunk, Principal." Zhou Qi said softly, "Let's rest early!"

Dumbledore nodded slowly, and his eyes moved to the painting of the starry sky again. In front of this huge picture, he seemed to be in an endless universe, and even light could not escape, a universe that was suffocating just by imagining it.

The wizard ran away.

Zhou Qi looked at the back of his departure, raised his brows, and the smile at the corner of his mouth became mocking. With a hook of his finger, the activation potion on the ground was suspended, and the dull liquid formed a perfect water ball.

In the control of magic. The water polo came into contact with the giant painting on the wall.

assimilate into.

Recovery.

The static painting, combined with the potion, produced an unimaginable reaction. Under the catalysis of magic, the starry sky flickered.

The stagnant planet, spinning.

.....

Walking in the brightly lit castle, listening to the laughter of the students, and looking at the Christmas ribbons hanging on the walls.

The white wizard looked in a trance.

"Professor Dumbledore?" Someone called him worriedly.

He followed the voice and looked at the portrait on the wall. The knight in the painting looked worried: "Are you all right?"

Painting, painting again.

Dumbledore had an inexplicable fear of oil painting. He ignored the caring knight and fled back to the office, without lighting the light, sitting alone on the office chair.

Even in his office, there are movable oil paintings.

Phoenix Fox squeezed into his arms and pressed his face to his right cheek to comfort his master.

"I never knew him."

Dumbledore stroked the phoenix feathers and whispered in the dark.

Phoenix didn't understand the meaning of this sentence. It stirred the feathers on its tail, and a crimson light lit up in the dark room, illuminating the uncertain expression of the white wizard.

Headmaster Hogwarts stared at the firelight, thinking silently.

Coming out of Zhou Qi's office, he felt more and more that there was a connection between certain things. From the first year to the present, this gentle and friendly musician who was loved by students and appreciated by professors had an unknown side.

Everyone has another side.

Even I have a dark side. I want to follow my fate and want Harry Potter to defeat Voldemort.

But the other side of Ivan is like an abyss... He didn't even dare to think about it, the white wizard vaguely grasped a certain context, a very terrifying assumption, which appeared in his mind.

If this assumption is true, then Professor Ivan is far more dangerous than Voldemort.

But he dared not say this assumption.

No one would believe it.

Even he himself didn't want to believe it.

Dumbledore's solemn eyes flickered in the flickering firelight, he sighed suddenly, and reached out and knocked on the table.

Poof!

All the lights in the room are on.

The orange light illuminated everything, and the fear on the principal's face disappeared at the moment when the light appeared. He smiled warmly and looked at the portrait on the wall.

"Please invite Professor Flitwick."

The man in the portrait woke up yawning, completely unaware of what was going on, he nodded and left his frame.

Not long after.

Dean Ravenclaw came to the principal's office, and the smiling principal greeted the half-goblin dean.

The night falls, and Christmas Eve ends happily.

The students were also exhausted, and with expectant smiles, collapsed on their beds.

The lights go out bit by bit.

The castle fell silent. Only Filch, the administrator, hummed a song, carried a deep lantern, and walked in the dark castle. He also wore a Christmas hat, which was woven by Mrs. Pince herself.

The world of magic painting.

The sea gave birth to life. The first amphibian climbed out of the deep sea. It looked up at the eternal sun in the sky, and gave out the first joy of life.

The next day.

Zhou Qi was eating in the cafeteria, and the house-elf wearing a chef's hat was attentively standing aside, collecting opinions.

"The plan of the day is in the morning, and breakfast cannot be ignored." Zhou Qi raised his silver fork and explained: "I have traveled to different countries and ate breakfast in different countries, but let me choose the best one, I still Recommend Far East.”

"In the country where I was born, every city has a different breakfast, which is the wisdom passed down for thousands of years..."

The house elf was so excited that he recorded it in a small notebook.

This is a martial arts secret to improve cooking skills and change the Hogwarts cuisine. The students have long been tired of English breakfast.

At this time.

Dumbledore came over. He first listened to Zhou Qi's introduction, and then smiled and interjected: "Didn't you bother you?"

"headmaster!"

The house elf hurriedly put away his notebook, and after greeting, he left voluntarily.

Zhou Qi looked at the white wizard with a smile on his face, as if he was completely unaffected by what happened last night.

"Professor Ivan, can you please come to my office?" Dumbledore said gently, "I have prepared a Christmas present for you."

Zhou Qi frowned slightly, not understanding what he was thinking.

Is this old rabbit overexcited and wants to throw a cup in the office?

If he has such courage, then I would admire him.... Zhou Qi's thoughts moved, and he smiled as usual, followed Dumbledore out of the cafeteria and went to the headmaster's office.

Unexpectedly, in the office, besides them, another person has already arrived.

Dean Ravenclaw, Filius Flitwick.

This half-goblin Whitebeard Dean is quite unstable. He hides it well, but he can't escape Zhou Qi's spiritual sense. He can feel his unwillingness and resentment.

"Professor Ivan!" Flitwick's tone was less close and more resentful: "Merry Christmas."

"Merry Christmas."

Zhou Qi seemed to be completely unaware and greeted gently.

Dumbledore sat on the office chair, his hands were crossed, his expression was still gentle, he looked at Zhou Qi kindly, and smiled: "Professor Ivan, it's been almost three years since you came to Hogwarts. , we are all watching."

Zhou Qidao: "Professor, you are too complimented. I didn't contribute much. Instead, Hogwarts helped me more."

"Yeah—" Dumbledore said with a long sigh: "The first Muggle professor at Hogwarts, the first Arcane professor, three years ago, I definitely could not have imagined that you would make such a big deal. achievement.”

He praised Zhou Qi's wisdom, which can combine science and magic to create arcane magic.

"I have always believed that arcane is the bridge between wizards and Muggles." Dumbledore glanced at Flitwick, who was silent: "Professor Ivan's explanation of arcane is equivalent to Ravenclaw's philosophy. It's getting close!"

Flitwick was stiff, but had to nod to admit it.

Ravenclaw is one of the four colleges that pursues wisdom and knowledge, which is also the most important factor for Zhou Qi's arcane class to attract Ravenclaw students.

Zhou Qi was stunned.

He finally understood what the **** the old rabbit was doing, Dumbledore.

As expected of an old Briton!

Even the traditions have been inherited.

The policy of appeasement...

Zhou Qi pretended not to know anything, accepted Dumbledore's compliments, but he didn't make any statement, which made the White Wizard feel a lot of trouble, sighed in his heart, and threw out his trump card.

"Professor Ivan, I would like to invite you to be the Ravenclaw Dean!"

PS: Thank you for destroying the world, not eating Hu Jianren, and eating the blade of rice

Tonight, I don't know if there will be

430 Chapter 71 The Ravenclaw of Change

"Dean Ravenclaw?"

Zhou Qi glanced at Flitwick, who was sulking, and said, "He De He can be the dean, please stop joking!"

Flitwick squeezed out a blunt smile: "Professor Ivan, this is the result of my consultation with Dumbledore. I am too old to keep up with the changes of the times. Ravenclaw needs a young and energetic Dean. , to lead it forward!"

Although he suppressed the resentment in his heart, Zhou Qi could still hear a bit of unwillingness in his tone.

Zhou Qi fell into deep thought.

It has to be said that he could not refuse the bait thrown by Dumbledore.

The Dean of Hogwarts is not only the improvement of his status and reputation, as the Dean, he has great autonomy over the college under his jurisdiction.

Ravenclaw students are the most advanced among the four academies. If I can control this academy, I can open up my own arcane academy in Hogwarts.

but,

Asking prices all over the sky, and repaying the money on the ground.

Zhou Qi turned his thoughts and looked at the sincere Dumbledore.

He is very clear that this is not a normal job transfer, and there is no such precedent at Hogwarts for a Muggle as the headmaster.

This is a deal.

Dumbledore noticed something, and wanted to use the position of the Ravenclaw dean to tie him up and delay the deterioration of a certain situation.

Since it is a transaction, it is important to bargain.

"Professor Dumbledore." Zhou Qi pretended to be embarrassed about the heavy task and couldn't put it off, and said, "Hogwarts has never made a Muggle the dean, and the students will not recognize me."

Dumbledore knew that the other party was making an offer, his eyes were a little dull, and his smile grew wider.

"With your reputation as Professor Ivan, I believe they will understand. If there is any problem, we will also help you."

Zhou Qi said quickly: "Then, as the dean, can I have enough autonomy?"

Dumbledore: "Yes!"

Zhou Qi: "No matter what kind of rules I make at Ravenclaw, I hope Hogwarts won't interfere."

Dumbledore: "You have absolute autonomy in Ravenclaw. As long as it does not affect the safety of students, I will let the professors cooperate with the rules you have made for Ravenclaw - of course, the premise is only to pull Winclaw."

The two cunning foxes concentrate on testing each other's bottom line.

The real Ravenclaw Dean was stunned. The privileges given by Dumbledore were like drawing out an autonomous region in the school, which was freely planned by Professor Ivan... Even he had no such right.

If it wasn't for the night of heart-to-heart with Dumbledore last night.

Flitwick is probably going to blow up. This is breaking the Hogwarts tradition.

The agreement between Zhou Qi and Dumbledore ended, and both parties were more satisfied with their gains.

The one I was most dissatisfied with was probably Hogwarts.

Christmas dinner that day.

Dumbledore announced that Professor Flitwick would step down as Ravenclaw Dean and be replaced by Professor Ivan, which caused a tsunami of interlocking reactions, not only students, but also other professors expressed doubts.

Rather, it was Ravenclaw Academy.

Most of them maintain a goodwill attitude towards the new dean. This is due to the opening of the arcane class. Most of the Ravenclaw students are students of the arcane class, and they like this young, funny and knowledgeable professor very much.

As a result, the second day after the new dean took office.
