Dumbledore saw Kaisen approaching him and quickly added, "You can also urge them to improve their Alchemy skills, making them wholeheartedly learn how to create the Withering Charm."
Kaisen suddenly stopped. His eyes, which had been full of Dumbledore's old face, suddenly turned into bean-shaped eyes, and a question mark appeared above his head at some point.
"How did you know?"
Dumbledore smiled slightly, "There's nothing in Hogwarts that I don't know."
"....." Kaisen awkwardly returned to his seat and sat down again. Hagrid next to him completely failed to understand the interaction between Kaisen and Dumbledore.
Fudge, however, understood, and felt a strange sensation about Kaisen.
His motion of rubbing his fists and waving his hands just now seemed like he was about to slap Dumbledore.
Yet Dumbledore had no other objections; instead, he immediately began to explain.
How could this be!
In this situation, either Kaisen's combat power is strong enough to beat Dumbledore.
If it's physical, it's certainly possible, but if it's magical, it's unlikely.
Then there's another possibility: Kaisen is extremely important to Hogwarts, so important that Dumbledore has to avoid provoking him, avoid conflict with him, and even sometimes needs to explain and apologize.
Hiss....
Fudge silently took a long, deep breath.
Terrifying.
Kaisen and his two companions didn't have so much internal drama. They simply strolled out of Fudge's office and found Scrimgeour in the Auror Office.
"How have things been, Scrimgeour?" Dumbledore said as he led Kaisen and Hagrid into Scrimgeour's office.
"Not good. Is there something you need?" Scrimgeour also looked like he hadn't rested well; the dark circles under his eyes were quite startling at first glance.
"This is a note from Fudge. The Myrtle case from many years ago has been solved. We found the real murderer of Myrtle."
"Oh, you're here for Hagrid? But this matter is legal and proper. As long as the culprit is brought back to Azkaban, Hagrid can openly use his wand."
After Scrimgeour spoke, Hagrid's face suddenly turned pale, and a bead of sweat slowly trickled down his forehead.
"Don't be surprised, who in the entire magic world doesn't know you have a wand? I remember it was that little umbrella, wasn't it?"
Hagrid's expression remained embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, the murderer can't go to Azkaban," Kaisen said, seeing Hagrid's face turn crimson, and changed the subject for him.
"Theoretically, the Ministry of Magic doesn't allow any vigilantism," Scrimgeour said with a twitch of his mouth.
"The murderer is a Basilisk. The Basilisk's body is now in Professor Snape's office, waiting to be put into the Potion cauldron," Dumbledore explained.
"....Alright." Scrimgeour pursed his lips and nodded, pressing a small bell on the desk and saying, "Tonks, come in!"
Soon, a Witch with pink and blue gradient hair, exuding vitality from head to toe, walked in.
"I'm here, sir." After Tonks entered the office, she first winked at Dumbledore and Hagrid for a while, then focused her gaze on this Professor Kaisen, whom her junior colleagues who had just joined the Auror Office last year had spoken of.
Finally, her superior, Scrimgeour.
"Go to Hogwarts to collect evidence and take photos. Get a mugshot of the culprit snake and publish it in the newspaper tomorrow," Scrimgeour said, pointing at Tonks and then at Dumbledore and the others.
"Yes, sir!"
Dumbledore's Phoenix once again appeared above his head, and the golden-red flames instantly brought them back to Hogwarts.
"Phew! Finally back. You don't know how tiring it is to pretend in front of the old lion." After returning to Hogwarts, Tonks instantly felt like she was home. Her eyes quickly found the small sofa in the Headmaster's office, and she sat down.
"It seems you're doing well in the Auror Office," Hagrid said with a smile.
"Of course..." Tonks said, then walked towards Kaisen, "Hello there, my junior from Hufflepuff."
Kaisen's mouth twitched uncontrollably. Who knew which damned person had leaked the fact that he was sorted into Hufflepuff during his previous time at Hogwarts.
But it's fine if it's leaked, there's nothing wrong with it. The problem is that the time of his sorting doesn't match his actual age, which leads to a frustrating problem...
For example, some socially outgoing people use his sorting age instead of his actual age, like Tonks in front of him.
However, if she's socially outgoing, then so be it. He ultimately chose to forgive and extended his hand to shake Tonks's hand.
"Kaisen Heath."
"Nymphadora Tonks. Just call me Tonks. I don't really like the name Nymphadora."
"Okay, Nymphadora. No problem, Nymphadora." Kaisen nodded.
"...You don't have to be so vengeful, do you?"
"...Mm-hmm."
The two made two synchronized funny faces and said nothing more. Next, Kaisen led Tonks to Professor Snape's office.
"I always thought I'd never have to see Professor Snape's face again after graduating from Hogwarts. I never expected this day to come." Tonks knew the layout of Hogwarts much better than Kaisen. She didn't need guidance and walked directly towards Professor Snape's office.
"Mm-hmm, let me guess, are you Hufflepuff, or Gryffindor?" Kaisen asked casually from behind.
"Hufflepuff."
"Oh... When you come back here, do you want to go see Professor Sprout?" Kaisen asked.
"Of course I want to see her, but I have to wait until work is done... Speaking of Professor Snape's face... How's your relationship with him?"
"Severus? It's pretty good, actually," Kaisen replied.
"You call Professor Snape 'Severus,' but you call Professor Sprout 'Professor Sprout'... Your relationship is that good, huh?"
"Cough, cough. Don't tell anyone, but when I call Professor Sprout, Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, I always add 'Professor' after their names because I believe their character matches the position of Professor, and they also remind me of my Professors from my student days, so there's a strange sense of awe."
"But Severus is different. My relationship with him is very good, and his Potion skills are truly amazing, but his actions make it really difficult for me to call him 'Professor.'"
