Chapter 4049 4051【Albus Dumbledore】
“Then let’s go to Diagon Alley after dinner.” Seeing that her husband Tobia no longer objected, Irene immediately said to Xiang Nan.
"Don't worry, Mom, I'll go out for a while." Xiang Nan waved his hand, drank his oatmeal quickly, and then hurried to Lily's house.
He wanted to know if Lily had also received her acceptance letter to Hogwarts. If she also receives it, then they can go shopping together in Diagon Alley, London.
Xiang Nan rushed to Lili's house at lightning speed, stepped forward and gently rang the doorbell.
The door opened, and it was Penny.
"It's you, Severus, come in quickly." She said quickly, "You are really right. A strange old man has come to my house. He is talking to father, mother and Lily in the living room. He calls himself Headmaster of Hogwarts House."
Xiang Nan was startled and stepped in. Sure enough, he saw an old man sitting on the sofa in the living room. He wore a pointed hat and had silver hair and a beard that was almost waist long.
Wearing a silver robe with complicated patterns printed on it, a purple cloak that reaches the floor, and a pair of high-heeled boots with buckles. Behind the half-moon-shaped glasses, a pair of bright blue eyes sparkled.
His expression was kind but also a little scrutinizing, and he looked up and down at Xiang Nan doubtfully.
"Hello, Principal Dumbledore~" Xiang Nan stepped forward and greeted, "I am Severus Snape, the son of Eileen Prince."
"Eileen Prince?! I remember her. She was a student of Slytherin House and the captain of the Gobstone team back then. She was very talented and gifted." Dumbledore nodded and smiled, "She was still a little girl back then. , I didn’t expect that my son is so old now. Is your mother okay now?”
“I’m trying to get better.” Xiang Nan pondered for a moment and replied with a wry smile.
His mother's current situation is not good by any means. But it’s too late to tell Dumbledore that he is just the principal of Hogwarts, not the Guanyin Bodhisattva of the magical world, and he cannot save all sentient beings or help those in need.
Dumbledore nodded and did not continue to ask. Instead, he looked at the envelope in Xiang Nan's hand and asked, "It seems that you have also received the admission notice to Hogwarts?"
"Yes." Xiang Nan nodded, "Lily, you received it too, right?"
“Yes.” Lily raised the letter in her hand.
"You...are also a wizard?" Lily's parents looked at Xiang Nandao in surprise.
The couple had a very good impression of Xiang Nan. They felt that Xiang Nan was smart, capable, talented, mature, steady, and polite. He was not at all like the restless, frivolous, and exaggerated boys of the same age.
I just didn’t expect that he was also a wizard. And it sounds like his mother is also a wizard. No wonder their family is so weird that they are regarded as weirdos by the people around them.
I see! as expected!
…
“My mother and I are both, but my father is not.” Xiang Nan nodded and explained to them.
"Does Lily have to go to Hogwarts?" Lily's father Robin asked worriedly.
He originally wanted to send his daughter to a private middle school and then go to prestigious schools such as Cambridge and Oxford in the future. He believed that with his daughter's intelligence, she would be able to pass the exam. When the time comes, you can become an engineer like him, or join politics.
This disrupted his overall plan and made him a little at a loss for a while.
"Lily's magic talent is very high, and she is suitable to study at Hogwarts." Xiang Nan nodded, "Otherwise, she will not be taught, the magic in her body will not be released, and she may become an 'Obscurial'. ” ˜ ˜ “The Silent One?” Lily’s parents were stunned.
"The Obscurus will be parasitized by a dark magical force called 'Oscurus'. It is very powerful, extremely unstable, and difficult to control." Xiang Nan explained, "Once released, it will destroy the entire city of Cokeworth. , it’s all a piece of cake.”
The Obscurus appears in the prequel "Harry Potter" "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", and his power is quite terrifying. Even with all the elites from the United States Ministry of Magic, it would be difficult to fight against it.
“…” Lily’s parents couldn’t help being frightened when they heard what Xiang Nan said. They didn’t expect magic to be so terrifying.
"So Lily needs to be taught, and the Principal Dumbledore in front of you is the greatest wizard in the world today." Xiang Nan explained, "There is absolutely no problem in leaving Lily to be taught by him. And I will also teach Lily Let’s go together, and I will protect her when the time comes.”
"Then...well, since Lily has such a talent, it really shouldn't be buried." Lily's father, Robin, and mother, Mary, looked at each other, discussed in low voices for a few words, and finally reached an agreement and nodded. .
"Mr. Principal Dumbledore, please teach Lily well." Robin and Mary then looked at Dumbledore and said.
"Don't worry, I will." Dumbledore nodded, "Since Severus is your friend, I think he will be happy to take you to Diagon Alley for shopping, and will be happy to tell you how to get to Nine And three-quarters of a platform.”
“Yes.” Xiang Nan nodded.
"Then I'll leave first. There are a few more people I want to visit. Please forgive me for pardoning me." Dumbledore said again.
"Goodbye, Headmaster." Everyone said respectfully to Dumbledore.
“Goodbye.” Dumbledore smiled slightly, made a popping sound, and then disappeared without a trace.
…
“Where has he gone?” Robin exclaimed in surprise.
“He disappeared.” Mary was also deeply surprised.
Penny’s eyes widened in shock.
“He performed the Apparition Technique and teleported to another place.” Xiang Nan explained, “Maybe dozens or hundreds of miles away.”
“Incredible!”, “That’s amazing!” Robin and Mary both said in surprise.
Even Penny couldn't help but look envious.
She was no longer interested in magic, but after hearing Xiang Nan's explanation, she couldn't help but be fascinated.
If you can learn this kind of witchcraft and teleport to hundreds of miles away, it will be very convenient to travel.
“However, this kind of witchcraft is very dangerous. Only a wizard as powerful as him can perform such witchcraft at will. Otherwise, an operation error will lead to tragic consequences.
For example, the upper body has moved out, but the remaining half of the body remains in the same place; for example, a person has moved out, but is embedded in the cement wall..." Xiang Nan saw this and quickly added.
As expected, after hearing his explanation, Robin, Mary, and Penny all showed horrified expressions, and their yearning for magic suddenly became less.
However, Lily has always been bold and was not intimidated by Xiang Nan. Instead, she asked him enthusiastically, "Severus, in the attachment to the admission notice, I need to purchase many products. Where should we purchase them?"
