Archdruid of Hogwarts

"Is this to celebrate the housewarming?" Dumbledore asked, looking at the huge array in front of him that was comparable to the Hogwarts kitchen.

"Yes." Dot replied respectfully.

"It seems that there are many guests and friends at the banquet."

"No." Dot said proudly: "This banquet is only for a few close relatives of the hostess and the squibs of the MacMillan family.

There are many stoves, simply because there are a few Kung Fu dishes that require a long time on the stove and have been cooked for several days. "

The more Dot talked, the more excited he became: "The little master is a gourmet and a master of cooking. Dot thinks he is worthy of the title of supreme chef."

"Cooking... Supreme?" Dumbledore's eyes twitched, feeling that the style of his painting was wrong. This was not the style he imagined the master strategist who had made the MacMillan family achieve a series of stunning and gorgeous transformations should have. and style.

At this time, Selina and several relatives came out to welcome her.

"Principal, it's the biggest surprise that you can come. I'm so happy." Selena's lips were trembling with excitement, as if a loyal fan had met her idol.

Dumbledore smiled and hugged Selina, kissed her cheek symbolically, and said in his heart:

"The person in charge of completing the family's self-rescue is indeed not her. Her style is wrong. Those strategies are not something that this excited and shy girl can plan."

Then he had friendly interactions with several other people and greeted them cordially.

These few were also very excited. To them, Dumbledore was like the head of state in the eyes of ordinary people at the bottom. If they could see him up close once, they would be in awe for the rest of their lives.

"They are not among these people either. They should be invited to keep Selina company in case Selina is too lonely." Dumbledore commented.

"Congratulations on the housewarming. The history of the MacMillan family has officially opened a new page." Dumbledore said and presented a gift, an antique clock.

There is a lot of emphasis on giving bells in the East, but in the West it is very good, practical and has a good meaning. The most common housewarming gift in the West is to collect pots, bowls, pans and other common daily objects. There are often even more, which can be given to others later...

"I found out that I'm very lucky today, just in time for the big dinner! I'm afraid I will have to bother you at your house for lunch." Dumbledore didn't see Ernie, so he found a reason to stay a little longer.

Naturally, Selina was too late to welcome him, not only because of Dumbledore's distinguished status, but also because the MacMillan family now needs such well-connected people.

If Dumbledore is willing to show a caring attitude, the outside world's coveting of the MacMillan family will be reduced a lot.

However, there is no such thing as love and hate for no reason in the world.

Dumbledore thought he needed to sit in a magnificent mansion for a while before Ernie Macmillan would make his grand entrance in the way that big names always make their final appearance.

As a result, I was walking towards the mansion when I saw a farmer's son wearing shorts, a sleeveless undershirt, a towel around his neck, a round hairdo, and a healthy tanned skin over the cooking ground. He looked like a farmer's son. 'The young man strode towards him.

"Could it be that he was acting? But he shouldn't know about my home visit..."

Dumbledore looked at Dot, who was dressed like an English butler, and then at this 'country boy'. He felt that if this guy wasn't possessed by a treacherous and evil actor, then he was a person with very unique and interesting ideas. , and most like the person in charge of saving the MacMillan family...

"Your Excellency Dumbledore, it is a great honor to meet you. Please forgive me for wearing indecent clothes. I am so eager to see you." Ernie bowed to Dumbledore.

"Little man of the MacMillan family, I was already deeply impressed by you four years ago. In the following years, a series of actions of the MacMillan family are equally eye-catching. I believe that your contribution here cannot be underestimated. .”

"I have put in some effort, but I still don't deserve your praise."

Dumbledore nodded secretly, pretending, or admitting, this determined his subsequent attitude towards him. He was quite satisfied with Ernie's performance. Not the kind of naughty person who plays tricks.

He said bluntly to Selina: "A large part of the reason for coming today is for Ernie. I personally don't want to believe the malicious slanders spread outside.

How could a child who impressed me four years ago as a quick-thinking, genius and precocious child become autistic?

Looking at it now, Ernie is just as I expected, even more charming than I expected.

I'm going to talk to Ernie, so please go ahead. "Dumbledore said at the end, with a bit of domineering attitude that could not be rejected.

Just like that, the private chat is started.

Dumbledore noticed that when facing him, a long-established magic master, Ernie had no stage fright at all, and even had the leisure to direct the house elves to handle some of the delicacies being stewed on the stove. Then he led him, chatting while visiting the mansion.

"Legilimency!"

The attitude is cautious, the performance is stable, and the result is successful.

At this moment, Dumbledore fully embodies the professionalism of an old voyeur.

The only bad thing is that Ernie has a strong sense of autonomy and cannot be a voyeur, so he has switched to an alternative conversation mode.

Since it is a conversation in autonomous mode, you can hold back or even not answer.

To Dumbledore's relief, at least Ernie couldn't lie in this mode.

As for the environment of Ernie's conscious world, it is difficult to describe.

"This is... a natural sanctuary?" After seeing the details clearly, Dumbledore looked shocked.

Ever since the Wizarding War, he felt that he would never be shocked by anything or anything again, and he never thought that he would break his merit here again today.

Ernie introduced: "This is the Dream Woodland, the place closest to the Emerald Dream."

Dumbledore: "It is indeed a sacred place. Just the name makes me feel the tumbling power of nature and the mysterious depth."

Ernie: "It was built by Qunian (Glass Slag Design Team) and consecrated by all living beings (all players). Now, it is a natural sanctuary with a certain religious color built on the basis of the divinity of nature."

Dumbledore caught a few key words: "Group thoughts, this probably refers to several great masters, or simply saints.

All living beings, this is easy to understand, and all devout believers.

Believe in nature and deify it. The most important thing is to succeed in creating a god! , this is really an amazing feat! "

His expression was naturally more solemn and respectful, and he asked: "So who are you?"

Ernie: "I am the Apostle of Divine Nature, the Leader of the Extended Sanctuary, the Guardian of Life, the Archdruid Little Apple."

The sudden change in the painting style made Dumbledore twitch his eyes: "Little Apple?"

Ernie: "That's right, my name in Azeroth is Little Apple. I also have a special song, I'll sing it to you."

"Soundtrack, let's go! OneTowThree!" Ernie danced and sang to the very rhythmic accompaniment: "I planted a seed and finally the fruit grew. Today is a great day... You are my little one. Little Apple, I can never love you too much. Your little red face warms my heart and lights up the fire of my life..."

As for the soundtrack and the BGM that appeared, it was naturally completed by the Tauren Chief Band and the Wither Boar Band of Darkmoon Island. They are professionals.

Dumbledore applauded: "Okay, you win."

Ernie laughed: "I like the title 'you', it makes me feel much more comfortable.

No matter how grand and magical this place is, it is just a world of consciousness. If you want everything here to be concrete in the real world, you have to pay a price.

Therefore, I can be the king in my own inner universe, and you are the most successful wizard in reality. In terms of gold content, I am the junior. "

"Your humility makes me deeply appreciate it, and at the same time, my good impression inevitably increases. I have to apologize to you, Legilimency, for being a bit mean."

"It's uncomfortable. I had thought something like this might happen before, and was worried about how to deal with it, but when it actually happened, the first feeling I felt was relief.

This may have a lot to do with our good communication skills.

Of course, also because of understanding. Looking at myself from your perspective, I do feel more noisy and frightened than Tom Riddle back then. Once bitten, twice shy. "

"Your erudition and mental maturity are much higher than I expected."

"Adults, inhabiting this small body is the soul of an adult. It's very complicated to explain in detail. I'll briefly explain my state, and you can try to understand it.

The first is the awakening of Su Hui. It is a memory from one of my past lives that has revived in me now.

The second is to go back to the past. The consciousness of my future self has also revived in my present self.

The two are corresponding, and this constitutes conservation, so I am the trinity, past, present, and future. "

"Merlin's beard, the Andromedid meteor shower actually created such magic!" Dumbledore praised.

"You believe it now?"

"I don't think you need to lie. What's more, your origin is not the point. A concise explanation is enough. What matters is what you want and how you plan to do it."

Dumbledore paused and then said: "From this point of view, you are the type that I can accept. I have seen your performance in the affairs of the Macmillan family. This is why I came here today. s reason."

"To be honest, I am also looking forward to your arrival. Your character and reputation are relatively safe. And your status and ability are my personal responsibility and that of the MacMillan family now and even in the future. All needed.

For example, I looked up Whitecliffs Special School in Dover. I knew it was a sanatorium for retarded and squibs. And the Ministry of Magic and some pure-blood families planned to get me there.

Now that you are here, this crisis has been basically resolved.

Combined with your heroic speech in the 'compensation case' three years ago, the McMillan family owes you at least two favors. "

Dumbledore smiled happily. He likes people who are grateful.

Especially when the other party can take the initiative to bring it up, this is very touching and great...
