Kayson once again found the sign that read "Sirius and dogs not allowed" from the corner of his office and placed it at the entrance to the office.
The reason was...
Because Dumbledore refused to provide Sirius with a room.
And the latter shamelessly came to Kayson's office begging for a doghouse.
"So, it's really not possible?" Sirius asked pitifully, standing outside Kayson's office and looking at the sign placed next to him.
"Apparently, yes," Kayson said, showing no mercy.
Bang!
".... Damn it."
...
"No, I finally have a day off today," Kayson said, looking at Dumbledore, who had come to assign a task.
Dumbledore, with what seemed like an exclamation mark above his head, revealed a strange smile and sat down: "If I had any other choice, I would definitely not come to you."
"Oh, I see, you only came to me because you couldn't find anyone else," Kayson suddenly said unreasonably, as if Lin Daiyu had possessed him.
Dumbledore sighed, took out a small kettle from his pocket, and cleared his throat. Twenty minutes later, Kayson used Ender Teleportation to arrive at Diagon Alley, appearing at Ollivander's wand shop.
"Oh, you've come to pick me up. We haven't seen each other for quite some time, have we?" Ollivander said.
"If I hadn't come today, we would still meet after some time... because our thesis is almost finished," Kayson said, like an old friend reunited, casually pulling up a stool and sitting down, waiting for Ollivander to pack up his things.
"You all? Although I know you might not like to hear it, I still believe your students' contributions to your thesis are very, very low. If you could reclaim the prestige you've given them, at least the head of the England branch would definitely be you," Ollivander said.
"Isn't that the duty of a Professor?" Kayson shrugged and explained.
"Alright, how do we get to Hogwarts? Portkey or something else? As far as I know, you don't seem to have much talent for ordinary magic," Ollivander finally finished tidying up his shop.
"I believe the world is a huge Alchemy, so we can achieve all sorts of great things by relying on Alchemy. For example, Alchemy can, to a certain extent, replicate various kinds of magic, including Apparition," Kayson stood up and explained, then a force field enveloped the two, and the next second they arrived directly at Hogwarts' alchemy office.
After Ollivander regained consciousness, he was only stunned for a moment, then he looked at Kayson, who was already sitting on the sofa: "Before, my only simple guess about the size of your office was based on the letters you and Dumbledore wrote to me, and then today I saw your office... my vocabulary is insufficient for me to express my current shock with non-profane words."
"Oh, your idol burden is quite heavy. I thought you never swore before," Kayson said, standing up and pouring Ollivander a glass of wine: "Wet your throat, this is Hogwarts' hospitality."
"You haven't been at Hogwarts as long as I have. Why don't I know about such hospitality?" Ollivander asked, puzzled.
"Because you were still underage back then."
Before Kayson could finish speaking, the crystal ball on the desk lit up red.
"What does that mean?"
"It means Dumbledore is urging us. Let's go to the Great Hall," Kayson said, once again enveloping Ollivander in a force field, and the two directly left the alchemy office.
Firstly, Kayson had great distrust in this old Wizard's driving skills, and secondly, he also had great distrust in this old Wizard's physical condition.
If he was fine when he arrived, but then died running, his sin would be great.
"I thought you would take me directly to the Great Hall," Ollivander said distractedly.
"You might want to stroll through the Hogwarts corridors, of course, if you don't want to, we can go directly."
"Then let's take a stroll," Ollivander said, looking at the furnishings in the corridor that were no different from when he was a student, and the smile on his lips never faded.
Of course, it wasn't completely unchanged; at least the statues of the options had turned into Iron Golems.
"I have a good memory. Almost everyone who meets me twice knows about this, and you should know too, right?" Ollivander suddenly asked as he walked.
"Apparently, yes."
"So, actually, if necessary, for example, when I miss Hogwarts, when I miss my student days, I only need to immerse myself in my memories to see almost the exact same scenes as now. But after such a long time, stepping foot here again, I realized that reality and memory still have a big difference," Ollivander said with emotion.
"Such as?" Kayson asked.
"The sense of reality. The biggest difference is that you are all living people, not NPCs."
"Mm-hmm."
The two chatted idly, most of it was Ollivander talking and Kayson listening, occasionally interjecting with a supportive comment. Soon, the two arrived at the Great Hall on the first floor.
Dumbledore saw the two approaching and quickly stood up to greet them.
Kayson, seeing this, consciously distanced himself from Ollivander.
However, contrary to his expectations, Dumbledore, after greeting Ollivander, also walked towards Kayson, and for a moment, there was a feeling of a benevolent father and filial son.
Of course, Kayson was the father.
And in contrast, Dumbledore emphasized to Kayson with a cunning look that he must maintain his idol burden in front of his old friend.
In summary, it was one sentence.
In front of outsiders, act like a proper person!
It was that simple.
And Kayson, seeing this, naturally adopted the mindset of an old father. Isn't it just about saving face? Of course, he could.
Just as he took two steps back, patted his sleeve with his palm, and was about to kneel down directly to give Dumbledore a grand three kowtows and nine bows, two of the only three people present who understood his character and what he was about to do.
Snape and Sirius appeared on either side of him simultaneously, synchronously holding him up.
"So? What are you doing?" Kayson asked, feigning innocence.
