Chapter 35 A Conversation with Headmaster Dumbledore (Part 2)
Chapter 35 A Conversation with Headmaster Dumbledore (Part 2)
"Now, please have Ayers Hall explain the situation to us." The once amiable Headmaster Dumbledore suddenly transformed into a wise old man.
"I really don't know what happened before I was 11. When I woke up, I was in the hospital. You all know this." He took another sip of coffee, pretending to be deep in thought as he looked at the coffee in his hand.
"I don't know what happened today, but I started feeling unwell as soon as I entered the dorm. Then I woke up looking exactly like what you saw, Principal. I was actually a bit dazed myself." Okay, I'm just seriously making this up~ Let's see if you believe me or not~ Anyway, you can't see my memories~ They're all incredibly protected by two systems~
"Suddenly, I gained a lot of knowledge about dragons. I think the way I am now is the consciousness of the dragon race. I don't know if I am a dragon or a human now." I was just pretending to be confused. Anyway, given Dumbledore's nature, he wouldn't do anything to a young wizard. It just meant being under constant supervision at Hogwarts.
My guardian is still Severus, so Dumbledore should be much more at ease, since I'm not the main character, Harry.
However, Dumbledore wouldn't pass up the opportunity to use me for his purposes, but that's alright, since I'll be meeting Harry next year anyway, so it's just a favor to me.
"So, Ayers Hall, when you're in that state, can you completely control yourself? In other words, are you fully conscious in that state?" Dumbledore stared at me intently. He needed to make sure that my state wasn't like that of a werewolf, where I was not conscious and couldn't control myself, which would be too dangerous for the other young wizards.
"I can guarantee that. I was fully conscious in that state. Principal, we were able to have a normal conversation when you appeared in front of me." I can assure you that I was exceptionally clear-headed and calm in that state, which can be considered my peak condition.
"If that's the case, then I'm much relieved. It's quite late now. Professor Snape and Ayles Hall both have classes tomorrow, so you should go back and rest. Snape, please keep a close eye on Ayles' condition and let me know immediately if anything happens." Dumbledore now understood the situation. He would need to observe for a while longer to see if Ayles Hall's condition was stable. If it was stable and wouldn't affect the other young wizards, then that would be fine. Even he himself wasn't entirely sure what was going on.
Even the learned Dumbledore had never seen anything like it. It was incredible that a human could suddenly become a dragon. If they weren't wizards, they would have been captured and dissected for research.
"Goodnight, Headmaster Dumbledore. You might need to contact the house-elves to clean up the rest of the cups. We'll head back to rest now." I left the empty coffee cups behind and left the headmaster's office with Severus, who had been listening the whole time.
"Gentlemen, do you think what this student Ayers Hall said is credible?" After we left, Albus Dumbledore asked the list of Hogwarts headmasters hanging there.
"Albus, it depends on how you look at this matter."
Those who hang paintings don't offer any good suggestions either.
Severus and I walked quietly down the corridors of Hogwarts Castle. I walked ahead, and he followed quietly behind, heading towards the Slytherin common room.
There's something going on between Severus and me right now, how should I put it, it's just awkward. He doesn't talk, and I don't want to talk either.
"Ayers." The haughty Severus finally called out to me just as I was about to step into the Slytherin common room.
"Hmm~ What's wrong, Severus?" I don't want to see his expression right now. You could say it's not just his arrogant avoidance; I'm actually avoiding him a bit myself.
I could say I felt a little resentful when I found out he was avoiding me during his vacation.
I didn't do anything wrong, I was just following the system's guide to complete tasks.
The positive feelings the system gave me and him were mutual; I could say I felt them too.
I've always reciprocated his kindness, and now he's denying our relationship—isn't that a veiled way of rejecting me?
It felt like I was just deluding myself, and I felt unbalanced towards everyone. Even though I hadn't done anything wrong, he pushed me away.
I don't know what to do now, I'm feeling very conflicted.
Severus felt terrible when he saw that Ayers didn't even want to look at him anymore. He wondered if he had done something wrong, and he couldn't bring himself to say what he wanted to say to Ayers.
"Nothing else, I'll head back now. Goodnight, Severus, get some rest." I could tell he had something to say but couldn't express it, so I didn't press him further and left him outside the Slytherin common room.
Severus stared at the closed Slytherin common room door for a moment, then sighed and went back to his cellar.
I only went back to my dorm to rest after hearing him leave from the other side of the door. It was a really chaotic night.
I woke up again at 6 a.m. the next morning. I had only gone to sleep at 3 a.m. last night. If it weren't for the dragon blood modifying my body, my body definitely wouldn't have been able to handle just 3 hours of sleep.
After getting up and tidying myself up, I stared blankly at my own eyes while washing my face. What should I do about these golden beast eyes?
(Night, the moonlit earrings don't seem to be very effective. I'm wearing them right now, and they're not even concealing my eyes.)
[Night: Ahem, host, it seems the dragon bloodline is a bit too domineering. These pupils don't seem to be able to be covered. I'll check the equipment shop to see if there are any others.]
[Night: Found you, host. Here is a pair of glasses made of dragon bone, which can effectively conceal the characteristics of dragon blood.]
Looking at the description of the glasses displayed on the blue screen.
【Hidden Dragon Bone Glasses: Can conceal all characteristics of dragon bloodline】
The frames of these glasses are made of pure gold and radiate a dazzling light.
The golden lines are smooth and graceful, like a meticulously crafted work of art.
The lenses are made of high-grade crystal, clear and transparent, without a single flaw.
I gently picked up the glasses and examined them closely. The frame was set with many diamonds, which sparkled brilliantly like stars in the night sky.
The temples are engraved with exquisite patterns, which are delicate and lifelike, showcasing a high level of craftsmanship.
The temples of the glasses also feature two extremely thin, non-slip gold chains, making them both luxurious and beautiful.
These gorgeous golden glasses are not only a fashionable accessory, but also a symbol of status and prestige.
It made me feel luxurious and noble.
But for the Golden Dragon Clan, this was dazzling, perfectly matching their aesthetic.
He redeemed it immediately and put it on, the golden beast eyes hidden behind the glasses.
These glasses have really elevated my appearance to a whole new level.
