" Headmaster, a bit with blond hair called me mudblood. What does that mean? ", Damian asked knowing Dumbledore may have seen everything already.
Dumbledore answered," it's a vile term created by the wealthy and native noble families of British wizarding world to belittle muggleborns. Just ignore it and everything will be fine ".
" Wait, I have a doubt. If muggleborns are called by that term to make belittle us mugglebors with term related to blood, then does that mean their bloodlines have some kind of special powers. Like other races did ", Damian asked.
" One or two families among did have some special ability. But others didn't. Although they intermarried to these families since many centuries to keep ther bloodline pure, Rarely anyone among the inherited those special traits ", Dumbledore said.
" Then is isn't that just insulting themselves by that. They intermarried among each other for centuries. In muggles world that's considered taboo. Not to mention this blood problem they termed will have some special consequences in muggles world. It's basically um, you know incest isn't that right? Their offsoprings will suffer ", Damian said.
Dumbledore sighed. Indeed, Gaunt family went extinct because they took this blood supremacy theory to extremes, even going as far as to marry their own brothers and sisters. Result, their offsprings are mentally very unstable and in few years their whole family went almost extinct then one of the family members murdered others and framed one of the last people in that family.
Dumbledore is very familiar with Gaunts because he is the one who investigated everything. Especially when this is all related to one of his former students who went to extremes and went astray into a path of no return.
Damian called out," headmaster. Headmaster ", Dumbledore snapped out of daze when Damian called him. Damian pointed to a tall and father man who is way above a human height and a bit beside him," that man is calling you. He is huge ".
Dumbledore turned to see Hagrid and Harry Potter beside him. He smiled and stopped in his tracks as Hagrid arrived with Harry.
" Morning Professor Dumbledore sir. Harry is well and fine. I brought here for shopping as you asked. He is quite like his father, he is admiring the new broom stick for quite a while. And who is this child?", Hagrid said.
" Good morning Hagrid. This is Damian Knight, also a freshman at Hogwarts. He is a special case, so I need to be with him for this shopping. Hmm, it's nice seeing you again Mr Potter ", he extended his hand to harry who held the hand and shook it.
" H-Hello Headmaster Dumbledore. I-It's an honour to meet you, sir ", the boy looked skinny and timid. His black hair is a little unkept and his green pupils are darting around with nervousness. Dumbledore smiled and said," no need to be nervous Mr Potter. I'm just an old man here, not headmaster of Hogwarts ".
" Oh, by the way. Meet Damian Knight, he is also a wizard who spent most of his life in muggle world like you ", Dumbledore added. Damian cast the Eyes of Truth at Harry. He felt something is weird when Dumbledore said those words. And he felt a weird sensation from Harry. It's similar to the feeling he got before he passed out while those wizard assassins tortured him.

And moreover, it shows these questions marks again. Weird, so weird. There is definitely something about this boy. He can feel it, something is definitely weird.
Harry Potter took his hand back and asked as Damian narrowed his eyes at him," is something wrong? ", Damian just gave a small smile and shook his head," no, there is nothing wrong ", Harry just nodded.
Damian asked," so you're also from muggle world ", Harry said," yes. Althoughy parents lived in wizarding world, after their death, I lived in muggle world with my relatives ", Damian and Harry talked for sometime. Then Damian said," Anyway, I look forward to meet you again at Hogwarts Harry Potter ".
Harry nodded and said," me too Damian. See you at Hogwarts ", as they parted ways, Dumbledore asked," something's on your mind ", Damian shook his head and said," nothing headmaster ", Dumbledore nodded and didn't press any further. Just took a good look at him.
Then they continued shopping. They bought many things and Dumbledore generously gave him a cloth bag with extension charm on it as he struggled to ask for that. Why not use inventory? He didn't want to raise more suspicion from Dumbledore.
After buying almost everything in the list they arrived at the wand shop.

Damian frowned. The hint on the quest caught his attention. Correct of the things given to him. Spells or skills. The one that matches it's description is only one skill.
Eyes of Truth.
Damian as soon as he entered the wand shop, saw Ollivander. But then he noticed something, Dumbledore is gone. Damian blinked, he is just here a second ago isn't it. How did that old man disappear out of thin air and why near this wand shop of all things.
Damian blinked. Ollivander turned to him and said," welcome. Oh! A new wizard getting their wand. Hmm, who are you boy? ", Damian said," Damian Knight ", Ollivander frowned," a knight huh. Sounds a little familiar. Hmm, Evelyn Knight must be one of your relatives then ".
Damian isn't surprised. Dumbledore already told him, his mother attended Hogwarts. But she is a silent, mysterious and very secretive person to rev anything about herself. Surprisngly though, she is a good student, but it's stopped at that. She got good grades and all. But she never showed any remarkable performance at school.
She is an enigma to everyone. No friends, no relatives, just a simple muggleborn student in Hogwarts.
