Hogwarts Archmage

The pet shop in Diagon Alley will be very busy when the new school year of Hogwarts is about to begin. I don’t know when it will start. It has become a tradition for most wizarding families to buy a pet for the little wizard who is about to enter school.

Marn is not good at raising pets, nor is he very interested in it. He is really afraid that he will raise a pet to death, but Old Wald feels that he should develop some hobbies, even if it starts with feeding a small animal.

Ryan and Miley are getting busier and busier. This time, Wald is still here with him and Margaery, who is still on vacation. Except for Marne, who has grown a little taller, she doesn't seem to have changed much.

Margaery has become a big girl. She looks very quiet, but she is actually very quiet. To this day, Marne has not figured out why she was assigned to Slytherin. Ravenclaw is obviously more suitable for her. .

"I want her, at least I don't have to walk her." Ma En pointed to a cage inside the store. In the cage, there was a Siamese kitten that was all white except for its face. It was walking in a small cage like a madman. Rushing back and forth.

Margaery was so angry that she put her hands on her hips and said, "Marn, cats don't need to be walked."

"I was just joking. That's it anyway. He loves to run and make trouble. He must be in good health and live a long life. I don't want to cry like you and wet the letter paper."

"Hey! Ma En, I didn't expect Garen to die so quickly. Can you please stop mentioning this matter? I'm so sad, but you just want to laugh at me!"

"I remember Walder reminded you back then that that thing has a limited lifespan."

"But it's really cute, isn't it?"

Ma En shrugged, turned his head and took the cage handed over by the clerk, no longer arguing with his sister.Seeing that he was silent, Margaery also picked up her own cage. She also came to buy a pet, and it was a hamster. However, this time the hamster had a tuft of silver-gray hair on its head, and it didn't look like a serious hamster. .

The hamster named Garen she bought at the beginning died some time ago when she just finished her exam - it was so old that even the potions master couldn't save it.

Margery was so sad that she wrote a ten-inch letter to Marne and Walder, which was filled with her dried tears...

I happened to come here this time when I heard that this store had obtained a hamster with the blood of a magical animal. I was afraid that someone would beat me to it, so I came over quickly.

"Huh? Grant? Are you there too?" An old voice came from the door. Ma En tried hard to control the cage with the Siamese cat and raised his head to take a look, and hurriedly beat each other with Margery. Hello:

"Good morning, Professor Dumbledore."

Dumbledore nodded and greeted him in the same way, then turned around and said to the girl following him: "Esther, go and pick the one you like as a pet, any one will do, don't care about the price, I Have a word with Mr. Walder.”

The girl nodded, walked around from behind him, and did not rush in. Instead, she greeted Wald first, then looked at Margery, who was the same age as her, and Ma En, who was two years younger than her, and stretched out her hand: " Hello, I’m Esther, Esther Coleman.”

The siblings also stretched out their hands and shook her lightly:

"Margery Langley."

"Marne Langley."

After a while of polite etiquette, Esther said sorry and went straight into the store.

It didn't take long, only about three to five minutes, before she walked out again carrying a cage that also contained a Siamese cat.

"Wow~" Ma En exclaimed in small admiration: "This is really..."

"He's very beautiful, isn't he?" Esther hugged the cage. The one she chose was much quieter than Marne's, and she was currently lying in the cage purring.

Ma En looked at the two cats, who were very similar in color and appearance, "It seems that our aesthetics are not much different."

"In fact, I had planned this before I saw your cat. This kind of cat has its own characteristics."

Although he doesn't like raising small animals, Ma En is somewhat familiar with the characteristics of this cat. At some point in his previous life, his roommate had one.

"Yeah, brave, sensitive, smart, and lively are all its characteristics. I don't know which one you like."

"neither."

"what is that?"

Esther directly opened the cage and took the cat, who was sleeping well, into his arms. "This cat has a nickname, called Chameleon. As the environment and temperature change, it will slowly change itself." The color changes from white to black, or back again. If you want it to change color less severely, you need to give it a warm enough environment and good care."

"This…"

Outside the store, two people were watching three children chattering from a distance, talking intermittently.

"Glen, have you thought about what I told you?"

"Huh? You mean the vice principal?" Walder frowned and looked at the three children in the store, or to be precise, at Esther. The other person seemed to feel something, and turned his head to give him a sweet greeting. After smiling and nodding slightly, he continued:

"I think Professor McGonagall has done a good job and is very responsible. What do you want from me?"

"I just want to ask you to serve as the second vice principal to help protect these young wizards. You are not replacing Professor McGonagall. With your ability, you should be able to see that Hogwarts will not be peaceful in the days to come."

"It's not impossible. Marn is going to school anyway. It's not interesting for me to stay with the maid in the castle. Most importantly, the cook at home is going to the United States with the Langleys this time..."

Hearing Walder's answer, Dumbledore felt a little more relaxed, "Since you agreed, I will ask the elf to prepare an office for you."

"Well, that's just a small thing. One more thing."

"what?"

"I think you should go to Austria." Wald thought for a while and then said it: "His physical condition is really bad. If you have time, I really think you should go visit him. He and I No matter what, that is the closest partner you have ever had."

"...After school starts, I will go if I have time." Dumbledore was a little confused, looked at him directly, and said.

"Albus, our generation is old. I never understand why you insist on imprisoning him. He has reached an age where he can't do anything." Walder looked at Diagon Alley with his children preparing to start school. Parents who use the items, most of them know Dumbledore and will say hello to him.

The eyes behind the half-moon frame blinked, "Glen, you may have made a mistake. It was never me who imprisoned him, but himself. And he is obviously not incapable of doing anything."

"No, it's you. He can't control himself."
