Chapter 1 Set Off

"Welcome, Professor Dumbledore." Silver stood in formal attire to greet the guests in the grand hall, "Maybe I should say that Minister Dumbledore is welcome?"

A tall figure in a long cloak walked slowly, a tall and thin man with silver hair and beard drooping to his waist. His hooked nose was wearing a pair of half-moon glasses, a black travel cloak, and a pointed hat.

There was a hint of playfulness in his voice, "Jack, your griffin almost killed me."

"Balzac had a bad temper at night - but fortunately, no one would visit Shilong Castle at midnight." Silver said with a smile, "You didn't hurt Balzac, he was no match for a great wizard."

"I gave it a sweet dream." Dumbledore also laughed. "It is too rare to be domesticated griffin, and I will not hurt it."

Dumbledore took off his cloak and looked around, "No matter how many times he came here, I was shocked every time. Silon Castle is such an amazing building."

"It's far worse than Hogwarts." Silver snapped his fingers, and the house elf Ranold appeared in the living room with two cups of coffee. "Do you want a cup of coffee? Professor."

"Of course." Dumbledore sat down and picked up the coffee and tasted it. "I had the idea of ​​being the Minister of Magic when I was young, but later I found that I was not suitable for power, so I gave up this idea. Now that I have really become the Minister of Magic, I am sure that I am not wrong at all. I am indeed not suitable for becoming Minister. I have to work until late at night every day to look at those smelly and long documents. To be honest, I really want to change my seat with Sclinger."

"Sclinger is an excellent Auror, but he is far less suitable to be a minister than you," said Silver. "It seems a bit beyond his ability to make him the principal of Hogwarts. As far as I know, he has not yet found a teacher in the Dark Magic Defense Class."

"This is a high-risk subject, Jack." Dumbledore touched his beard. "I used to be a headache about this. No teacher can stay in this position for more than a year. Fighting against the black wizard is Sclinger's specialty, but finding someone to be a teacher is not an easy task. I'm here to deal with this matter this time."

"Look for me?" Silver blinked, "What can I do?"

"You can definitely help, Jack," Dumbledore said confidently. "I know a very experienced teacher who likes young, promising students."

"But--" Silver pretended to be hesitant, "How can the teacher in the Dark Magic Defense Class have such a strange hobby? No matter how well he practices the Dark Magic Defense, he can be an Auror, and his influence is limited."

"It's not the Dark Magic Defense, Jack," Dumbledore said, "It's Potions. Severus said he's willing to be a teacher in the Dark Magic Defense, so we have to find a potion master who can replace Severus to teach potions."

"Isn't that just--"

"I knew you could probably guess it." Dumbledore said with a smile. "You are one of the smartest children I have ever met, and your knowledge is far beyond your peers. Serbia and Vinica have raised a good son, which is really enviable. By the way, where are they now? I heard that they have not been in the UK in recent years."

"It's for the expansion of family business." Silver took a sip of coffee helplessly. "Of course, maybe they liked to run around like this. Recently, they asked me to find a way to cash out the assets in England and then invest in South America."

"Sounds great," Dumbledore said, "How have you done?"

"It's almost done. All the shops in the UK have been sold, and the employees have arranged to go to France and other places." Silver said, "I don't have to worry too much. Other pure blood families have suddenly become interested in business recently. These assets have been sold at a good price."

"Maybe they heard something, we should go, Jack." Dumbledore finished his cup of coffee and put on his cloak again. "That guy is very cunning, I don't want to rush out for a while. Get your wand ready, Jack." He said in a brisk tone.

"Professor Dumbledore, I'm not yet an adult," Silver said. "I can't use magic outside of school."

Dumbledore raised his eyebrows, "Jack, I am now the Minister of Magic, I have the final say-the rules must always be flexible."
