Mysterious Walker at Hogwarts

"Another continent? Are you sure?" Dean asked slightly surprised.

"If that dream is real, then I'm sure!" Aesop nodded.

"This is interesting." Dean showed a playful expression.

Aesop looked at Dean in confusion, not understanding what he meant.

"Aesop, I know there is a famous saying in the far east, 'Read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles'." Dean explained patiently, "Just reading the knowledge in books is not enough. If you want to grow quickly, you have to go everywhere." Walk around and increase your knowledge - this is exactly what you lack most."

"What you said makes sense. Recently, I feel that I have hit a bottleneck and my growth rate has become very slow." Aesop said with enlightenment, "That's why I am getting more and more anxious."

"I also discovered this, so I have made preparations in advance." Dean smiled and took out something and handed it to Aesop.

"This is... a ticket? The Mayflower? The destination is the New World?" Aesop looked at the ticket in his hand and said in disbelief.

"That's why I say it's interesting." Dean pointed to the ticket, "Your dream coincides with my arrangement."

"No, no, no, I refuse this ticket. Compared with that kind of misfortune, I would rather live in seclusion here." Aesop threw the ticket to the ground in a panic.

"Aesop, I must say that your current performance makes me a little disappointed." Dean slowly shook his head, "It is not terrible to foresee a bleak future. What is terrible is that you have lost the courage to face the future. "

"No, you haven't seen that dream with your own eyes, so you don't know how cruel it is." Aesop said resistingly.

"Aesop, as far as I know, no one can 100% predict all the future. Even the most outstanding fortune-tellers see fragmented and scattered pictures of the future, so even if your dream will definitely happen, it may not be true. future."

"What you said is too profound, I don't understand." Aesop shook his head in panic.

"What I mean is that the future you dreamed of will definitely turn around. Only if you face it bravely can you find the direction and opportunity for reversal." Dean persuaded.

After hearing this, Aesop looked at Dean blankly, and after a long time, he suddenly asked: "If I keep running away, will that dream never come true?"

"According to my research on prophecies, even if you keep evading, there will eventually be a factor that will cause you to repeat the prophecy." Dean said seriously: "That's why I said that instead of escaping and passively waiting for the prophecy to come true, it is better to face it bravely. , then you at least have a chance to actively seek change."

Aesop silently picked up the ticket from the ground, put it away carefully and said, "Teacher, I understand, I will take the Mayflower to the New World."

Dean showed a satisfied smile: "Relax. I promise you that you will never be alone on your journey."

"You mean you will come with me?" Aesop's eyes burst out with a joyful light that was hard to look at.

"Not necessarily." Dean left a message.

He was thinking about the unfinished rescue mission, the "Nicolas Flamel's mysterious map" still waiting for him to discover, and the time and space converter that needed to be repaired - after being teased by Frentzen, Dean I no longer dare to place my hope of returning to my own era entirely on him.

These things take time to complete, so Dean cannot guarantee that he will always be a nanny by Aesop's side.

Even if Dean would go to the New World on the Mayflower with Aesop, he would be prepared to change his face and follow him secretly.

He didn't want Aesop to become too dependent on him, as that would not be a good thing for Aesop.

"Aren't you going to come with me?" Aesop showed obvious disappointment on his face and said in a low mood: "Indeed, you were not in that dream, otherwise my aunt would not have appeared, let alone Could ruin my happiness.”

Aesop didn't know her subconscious whisper, but instead strengthened Dean's intention to protect him secretly instead of openly staying by his side.

"Don't worry, Aesop." Dean comforted: "Even if I don't accompany you to the New World, I will make adequate arrangements to ensure your safety on the road."

"Thank you, teacher." Aesop whispered, "I believe you are not an irresponsible person."

Dean's smile suddenly became a little awkward. There seemed to be some ambiguity in this sentence!

Aesop continued: "Teacher, I have one more request."

Dean gave her an encouraging look.

"I ask you to help me sever my relationship with Serent." Aesop said painfully.

"Why?" Dean asked puzzled, "According to my secret investigation of him during this period, he is a reliable person. If you marry him in the future, you will definitely be happy, and I am very relieved."

"But...in that dream, Serent did not exist, and my marriage partner was not him, but someone else..." Aesop said in pain.

Dean felt a little stupid. It turned out that this was the reason for Aesop's confusion.

"That's not fair, either to you or Serende." Dean didn't know what to say.

"No, two forgetting spells can solve the problem." Aesop looked at Dean stubbornly, "Give one to me and one to Serent so that we can forget each other - maybe this is the best thing for him. of."

"This is not a problem with the Forgetting Curse." Dean reminded, "The Forgetting Curse has a very poor effect on those obsessions in your heart. If you really love each other, I'm afraid there is nothing I can do."

"Please, teacher. You are the most powerful wizard I have ever seen. You can definitely do it." Aesop begged: "Please, keep Serent away from the future I dreamed of, so that At least he might be happy."

"You are wrong, Aesop." Dean said calmly: "Your self-righteous thinking is very dangerous. You think everything is for Serent's good, but you don't know that this may deprive him of his right to happiness."

"I don't understand what you say, but I think I'm right," Aesop insisted.

"Aesop, it's still some time before the Mayflower departs. You can give it some serious thought." Dean temporarily backed down. "It just so happens that I also have some things to deal with, so I may leave you for a while."

"Okay, teacher. I will make full use of this time to think about it." Aesop said with his eyes lowered.

"During my absence, do not leave Ivermorny easily. If you are in danger, send a distress signal - I taught you, remember?"

"Don't worry, teacher, I won't cause you any trouble." Aesop promised.

Dean sighed secretly. He deliberately left a gap for Aesop to meet Serente. Unfortunately, judging from Aesop's performance, she was very likely to give up this opportunity and even never see Serente again in the future.

This kind of self-righteous and unilateral love mentality really gives Dean, a layman in love, a headache.

"You can take care of yourself." Dean said and left Aesop's room.

In Phineas's leather bag, a white Guards chess piece had been flashing for a long time. This chess piece was given to him by Lu Qi, the half-elf clerk at Flourish and Blott Bookstore.
