Settle at Hogwarts

"Save time. And if I read past curfew, I can return to the cellar quickly." Tabor answered honestly.

Dumbledore nodded, and then asked tentatively: "You don't want to go to the restricted area?"

Tabor nodded: "I think so, but I don't think I need it yet. The books in the general area are enough for me to read for a while. In addition, if there is a need, I will apply directly."

Dumbledore nodded, but his evaluation of Tubo was even higher.

"By the way, if I remember correctly, today is probably the party at Slughorn's club. Didn't you go?"

When Tabor heard Dumbledore's question, he immediately thought of what happened at the banquet just now: "I went, I haven't even changed my clothes. But I don't like banquets very much, and something happened at the banquet just now, so I Came out early.”

It was only then that Tabor remembered that it seemed very impolite for him to leave the banquet directly.

Dumbledore narrowed his eyes and kept walking forward: "I told you before the start of school that if you have any questions, you can come to me. As a professor, it is my responsibility to help students, no matter which college. Yes, it’s all like that.”

Tabor didn't talk about the banquet because he really didn't want others to know that he was drugged without any precautions.He also didn’t want the Head of Gryffindor to know that the female prefect of Slytherin would feed her classmates Veritaserum.

"Professor, I do have a question. The bird you transformed in the first lesson, I observed that the aura in its eyes was like a living thing. So, can the advanced transformation technique really give life to objects? "

Dumbledore didn't seem to expect that Tubo would ask this question. Although he seemed to want to change the subject, it could be seen that he really wanted to know the answer to this question.

"I'm sorry, Tabor. With my current ability, I can't give life to objects, so I can't give you an accurate answer to this question. The reason why the transformation spell can make objects look alive is just because of the transformation spell. It is what the magician wants it to be." Dumbledore said as if he suddenly thought of something and added: "In fact, compared to transfiguration, the advanced Patronus Charm and alchemy can have similar or better effects. Effect. If wizards can really create life in a way, then alchemy may be the closest to success."

Although Tabor has not studied alchemy, he has a mother who likes alchemy at home, so he agrees with Dumbledore's views.

"Professor, as far as I know, Beauxbatons has always offered alchemy courses, but Hogwarts does not."

"Ah, yes, in fact, there was this elective course when I was in school, but the content was too much and too complicated, and few people were willing to take it. In addition, there were not many people who could be professors of alchemy. There are many, and most alchemy materials are relatively expensive..." Dumbledore shook his head regretfully: "Beauxbatons has Nick Flamel and his students, so it can persist."

Tabor nodded in understanding. With Nick Flamel's support, Beauxbatons naturally did not have to worry about alchemy materials. The students would also look at his achievements and yearn for alchemy a little more.

It seemed that his mother decided on her future study and research direction after listening to one of his open classes on basic alchemy.

Tabor knew that Dumbledore was a friend of Mr. Flamel, and he also had a good level of alchemy, but he had no desire to study alchemy for the time being.

You must know that there is only one Nick Flamel in the wizarding world, who can turn decay into magic.Most alchemists can only make gadgets.Compared with the visible progress of studying magic spells, the complexity of alchemy is indeed much higher, especially the fact that you may not get any results after investing in it, which is the most disappointing.

As if sensing that Tubber had no interest in alchemy, Dumbledore did not continue to say anything, but silently sent Tubot to the door of the Slytherin common room.

"Well, you can come to my office tomorrow after lunch if you are free. This is not a confinement, but I should be able to find a secret passage from the cellar to the library by then."

After Dumbledore finished speaking, he strode out of here.

Tabor curled his lips helplessly, turned around and entered the Slytherin common room.

The place is much deserted than usual, and the Slug Club's banquet doesn't seem to be over yet. Most of the Slytherin students except the first-year students are probably still having a banquet in the office.

Tabor rubbed his somewhat shriveled belly, cursing himself for his miscalculation. If he had known earlier, he should have stopped by the cafeteria to get some snacks or something to fill his stomach.

It was already past the curfew time. Regardless of whether he could accurately find the location of the kitchen if he ran out at night, even if he could find it, Tabor did not dare to run out and risk being caught by the administrator.

"Tub?" Sylvia held a few books and stood up from the sofa with her back to the entrance of the lounge. When she turned around, she saw her friend who had just entered the lounge.

Tabor walked up to Sylvia and carefully observed the expression on her face. Seeing that her expression was natural, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sylvia, why aren't you with your brother?"

Sylvia shook her head: "My brother is already engaged to a girl from a branch of the Black family, so naturally he has to take her to various banquets. But you, why did you come back so soon? You seem to be... ....Is the food at the banquet not to your liking?”

Tabor looked at Sylvia's concerned look and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth: "Yeah, I never like banquets. Well, do you have anything to eat?"

Sylvia smiled and nodded: "I thought Senior Sister Hall would take good care of you!"

Taking the biscuits handed over by Sylvia, Tabor suddenly heard Sylvia move ahead of Anna Hall, paused for a moment, and then pretended to be nonchalant and said: "We don't get along very happily. . In fact, I didn’t know that you can bring female companions to the club dinner. If I had known earlier..."

Tabor deliberately did not finish speaking, but secretly looked at Sylvia's reaction.

"What would have happened if I had known?"

Observing the eagerness to know the answer in Sylvia's eyes, Tabor was sure that she had a good impression of him.
