Hogwarts: Where the Pokémon Are

In the principal's office.

Snape looked at Xia Lin with an unkind expression.

A few minutes ago, Charlene was discussing the new curriculum with Dumbledore. Then this greasy-headed bat rushed over.

Xia Lin greeted him friendly: "Long time no see, Dean Snape. You are still so... unruly. I mean, if you really don't like washing your hair, you can at least clean it up." .”

Snape really didn't like washing his hair, it wasn't just as simple as not using shampoo. After all, if you wash your hair with water all year round, your hair quality will be better.

"Shut up!"

This greasy man had a stinking face, biting the syllables hard and speaking in that unique accent. The two words "good" were stretched by him as long as brown sugar.

Xia Lin waved his hands, looking indifferent.

Seeing that he was out of luck, Snape had no choice but to target Dumbledore who was watching the show.

"Dumbledore, although I have always known that you are probably old and confused, I really didn't expect that you would actually agree to let a student who has not finished his third year come back as a professor."

"Well, Severus, you should know better than anyone else that Gold is capable of serving as a professor." Things that Dumbledore has already decided are not always easy to change.

"He is indeed very capable. In the second year, he brought down all the Slytherin students. Just now he beat a dozen pure-blood families to the ground. He even defeated more than 20 Aurors. The Minister of Magic was rubbed on the ground, do you know what they called him?"

Snape said while staring at Xia Lin, wanting to see what the brat was going to say to defend himself.

But he was disappointed. Xia Lin took his words as a compliment.

"They said Charlene Gold would be the third generation Dark Lord! And you actually put such a danger in the school. Do you think he has no other intentions? Especially this year-"

"I never thought Charlene Gold was a danger. On the contrary." Dumbledore said seriously, "Severus, that man is back, or rather, he has never died. I was in Albania. Traces of him were found in the forest."

Both of them were talking to themselves as if Xia Lin didn't exist. After talking about Voldemort, Snape's voice quickly dropped.

After a long time, he spoke.

"You'll regret it, Dumbledore!"

"Severus, I am the Headmaster!"

Snape left angrily. The black robe swayed.

"Xia Lin, Severus actually means no harm, I hope you don't mind." Dumbledore comforted.

Xia Lin naturally didn't mind: "Don't worry, I've even thought about what gift to give him for Christmas."

An affectionate big bat is very suitable!

He was actually referring to the Rolling Bat and the Evolved Heart Bat. This Pokémon has a cute pig nose with a heart pattern on it.

However, Xia Lin has not actually unlocked the illustrated book of Rolling Bats yet, so it remains to be seen whether this Christmas gift can be given away.

"I know you're a good boy, but when it comes to Christmas presents-"

"Okay, Dumbledore, you won't be disappointed with the Christmas gift. Let's continue talking about the lessons."

Charlene interrupted Dumbledore to prevent him from revealing that he was giving him woolen socks for Christmas. What's more, I have given him wool socks for three years.

"First of all, I hope this course can be open to all grades. Including first-grade wizards and seventh-grade wizards, even if there is only one class per week."

Hearing this, Dumbledore frowned.

He is not worried about the first grade. With Xia Lin here, at least safety can be guaranteed. He has also seen those Pokémon. Unlike many magical animals with a high level of danger, those little guys are much more docile.

The problem is in seventh grade.

Seventh grade wizards need to face the N.E.W.T. level exam. This is related to what kind of industry most wizards can work in after graduation.

So far, there is no employment direction related to Pokémon in the Ministry of Magic or even the entire wizarding world.

This means that if a seventh-grade wizard fails the N.E.W.T. exam because of the Pokémon Master Class, they may not be able to find a suitable job.

"Believe me Dumbledore, one class per week will not waste their time, but can give them proper relaxation. What's more, just because the Ministry of Magic doesn't have relevant departments now doesn't mean there won't be in the future. I believe I can Convince Fudge to set up the Pokémon Management Department."

"Even hosting large-scale events no less than the Quidditch World Cup." Xia Lin said.

He actually already had an idea in mind, but it was not easy to realize it. Therefore, there is no further explanation at this time.

Dumbledore nodded and did not continue to dwell on this issue.

"So, what about the textbooks? There is currently no book about Pokémon that can serve as a textbook. If you plan to write it yourself, you have to do it as soon as possible. There is only one month left before the start of school."

Today is July 29th. In two days, Dumbledore will ask Hagrid to lead Harry Potter to Diagon Alley to buy wands and textbooks.

Dumbledore felt that Xia Lin would not be able to sell his textbooks in Flourish and Blotts Bookstore. But as long as the other party can prepare before the official start of school, there won't be a big problem.

"I will prepare it before school starts." Xia Lin nodded, "In addition, I also need a certain level of financial support from the school."

He has indeed saved some money over the years. Raising Pokémon is not a problem for him personally, but if you include so many students at Hogwarts, it is a huge expense.

"I will mention this to the school governors in a few days," Dumbledore said.

Money is just a trivial matter to him, and now there are more important things that require Xia Lin's help.

"Do you know what Nico asked you to bring me?"

"He didn't say, but I guess it's the Philosopher's Stone." Xia Lin said bluntly.

"Yes, the Philosopher's Stone that can make people immortal. Just like Severus and I said, that person is back. It's just that his current condition is not very good."

"I guess his current state is like a ghost or worse. He may focus on the Sorcerer's Stone and try to use the power of the Sorcerer's Stone to restore his original body. But I'm not sure yet whether he will risk going to Hogwarts .”

"Then what do you need me to do?"

"Maybe I will need a little help from you then. As you said, evil attributes restrain ghosts." Behind Dumbledore's half-moon glasses, his bright eyes blinked.

Xia Lin couldn't stand this old Nantong winking at her, so she quickly agreed and fled the scene.

A new book sets sail, a new author. Readers who like it can add a bookshelf to prevent them from getting lost.
