[003] The opening ceremony in Diagon Alley

Although he said he was proud of Carl, late at night that day, Professor McGonagall took the initiative to find Dumbledore - an extraordinary talent is worthy of pride, but when this talent is too amazing, it will cause concern.

Dumbledore was also a little surprised after learning about this.

Over the years, Dumbledore has also launched a little manpower to try to find Carl's origin, but unfortunately, on the night when Harry was sent to his aunt's house, people were excitedly celebrating defeating Voldemort. The magic world in England was completely immersed in carnival. At this time, if anyone used a confusion spell or any other spell, they could send a baby to the expected place without leaving any trace.

In other words, even Dumbledore could not figure out Carl's background.

As Carl grew up slowly, judging from his performance, he shouldn't be a guy like Voldemort. Dumbledore has gradually focused on the savior who is about to enter school.

Unexpectedly, before entering school, Carl brought him such a "surprise".

Although he was also surprised and doubtful, Dumbledore was quite calm on the surface. While heating his black tea and adding a lethal amount of honey to others, he thought hard. When he finally slowly drank all the black tea, the greatest white magician finally made the decision.

"A person's life does not depend solely on his origin." After swallowing the last bit of black tea, Dumbledore was still slow in speaking. "Any experience and situation will affect the choices we make... I believe in Carl, just like I believe in you."

Although he had expected it, Professor McGonagall still breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Dumbledore say this.

Judging from personality, Carl is very similar to her, and she really treats Carl as her child.

"Okay, Minerva." Looking at Professor McGonagall with relief, Dumbledore smiled, "Go back early and rest. You will take Carl to Diagon Alley tomorrow - that's an important day."

"Carl has been to Diagon Alley, which is not worth making a fuss about him." Although he said this, Professor McGonagall stood up quickly, "Then, good night, Albus."

………………………………………

Professor McGonagall is very rich - not because of how high Hogwarts' salary is, but because she spends too little on weekdays.

For a person's life, food, clothing, housing and transportation are the biggest expenses.

For Professor McGonagall, none of these costs.

The clothes are standard Hogwarts professor robe. Others may not like work clothes, but Hogwarts' professor robe represents the identity of a professor and is not shameful - and as long as you have no special needs for the robe, this part is work expenses, which Hogwarts reimburses.

The food includes Carl. The two of them have three meals a day with Hogwarts's house elf (Professor McGonagall packs Hogwarts, and Carl's portion is paid by Dumbledore, and the cost price is not required to spend money on his own.

If you live, Professor McGonagall has his own villa in Hogsmeade, and there is no need to repay the full amount. Although it is very large, it does not require a servant or even a house elf. Professor McGonagall's magical level of life is enough to clean up the villa.

The last line... Let's learn about Phantom Movement? Even if you don't use Phantom Movement, the price of Floor fee is still cheap.

Professor McGonagall has neither the need to buy potion materials nor Professor Fleevy's hobby to collect certain magical items. As the dean of Gryffindor and Professor Transformation, Professor McGonagall's salary has always been in a state of being unable to spend.

It is also for this reason that when she brought Carl to Diagon Alley, the witch who usually acted quite generously as a serious world.

What’s interesting is that most businesses, including Lihen Bookstore, gave Carl a discount for Professor McGonagall.

So, Carl gained a lot during the entire Diagon Alley trip - almost all the items on the admission list were top-notch, the shiny dry pot and the just-made dragon leather gloves were a luxury for Weasley's family, but they were just Carl's basic style.

If Carl wanted to, he could even have a different laughing owl - a bird that was extinct in the Muggle's cognition, but because of its special, and the sound of laughter, there are still a certain number in the magic world.

Unfortunately, Carl is not interested in these things - he is not the children who can't walk when they see brooms or owls. He spent most of his money on Lihen Bookstore.

Whether it is academic works or miscellaneous essays, as long as it is not suitable for children, Carl almost refuses everyone.

(In fact, Carl is really interested in content that is not suitable for children in the magic world, but he obviously can't do it.)

As a professor at Hogwarts, McGonagall helped Carl identify the content of the book and deleted the entire book list. If there are any books in the Hogwarts library, then there is no need to spend this in vain.

When the Diagon Alley trip ended, Carl was filled with "trophy" - fortunately, although the traceless stretching spell is prohibited for private use, the Hogwarts students' luggage is not restricted.

With the help of Professor McGonagall, a small pile of spoils was stuffed into Carl's luggage and was waiting to get home before packing.

In this way, when the two were about to leave, Professor McGonagall met an acquaintance.

Hagrid's huge body had just come out of Gringott, and behind him was the thin Harry.

Professor McGonagall greeted Hager enthusiastically, and Hager responded shyly - in fact, the mixed-race giant was a little confused, and he had never seen Professor McGonagall so enthusiastic.

As for Carl... he was carefully looking at the protagonist in front of him.

The thin Harry looked a little malnourished at first glance. Carl did not feel any magic flow on him. Behind his round eyes, the green eyes were full of dodging.

Obviously, we know that until now, Harry Potter does not have the consciousness and confidence of the savior.

And for Carl, the most important thing is... this guy is native Harry.

You should know that whether it is a super player or a wall breaker, due to the difference in time flow rate, although everyone may seem to come to this world together, in fact, the time when everyone was born may be several days or even several months apart.

Carl entered the world No. 1547 on November 1, so his teammates and enemies may also arrive when Voldemort gave Harry an Avada - considering Voldemort's obvious magic fluctuations, Harry is obviously a good possession object.

Fortunately, from the moment, Harry is still the same Harry.

"Hello, Harry Potter." Carl smiled and took the initiative to step forward and stretched out his right hand. "I'm glad to see you. I'm Carl, Carl McGonagall."

Harry, who was not very good at dealing with people, shook hands with Carl in a hurry, and then he spoke strangely: "I am Harry, Harry Potter...Mr. McGonagall, have we seen it before?"

"Just call me Carl - after all, we are classmates at the same level." Carl patted Harry on the shoulder with great knowledge, "We have never seen him, but the boy who survived the disaster is still very well-known..."

A boy who survived the disaster?

Harry Potter was confused.

"That's all things in the past." Carl shook his head. "If you want to know, you can read the history of contemporary magic - and it can also be used as a preview before admission."

Harry obviously couldn't keep up with Carl's rhythm, so he could only nod a little mechanically. Just when he was about to ask carefully, Professor McGonagall seemed to have finished talking to Hager and began to say goodbye.

So, the poor Mr. Savior still didn't understand why he was the Savior.

……………………

"You look like you're talking well with Harry." When Carl was sorting out books and deciding which ones to bring to school, Professor McGonagall took the initiative to talk about Harry, "It seems that you really need some friends."

"...In fact, compared to me, Mr. Harry Potter needs to make more friends." Carl rolled his eyes helplessly, "I dare to bet with you that his childhood was not happy, and he might even be hungry."

Professor McGonagall wanted to say something about Harry's experience at his aunt's house, but in the end he could only sigh helplessly - this was also a helpless act.

"As for making friends or something." Carl quickly confirmed the location of the last book, "I believe I will meet a like-minded guy."

Looking at Carl's confident look, Professor McGonagall finally couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

Like-minded friends?

Even Ravenclaw, who was standing out in the "weird" world, did not see any student as old-fashioned as his own child...

A regular routine, a regular diet, a regular afternoon tea, and even two pieces of sugar every time. On Carl, Professor McGonagall saw extraordinary order, so she was worried about Carl's ability to communicate with people for a time.

But then again, with Carl's personality, he might have gone to Ravenclaw, right?

Thinking of this, Professor McGonagall suddenly felt a little subtle dissatisfied. She blinked and finally made a request to Carl.

"In that case, I hope you can come to Gryffindor."

“???”

It was Carl's turn to be confused - he didn't understand why he wanted to make friends, so he had to go to Gryffindor.

But when he raised his head and saw Professor McGonagall pretending to be serious but with some expectations, Carl finally nodded.

Professor McGonagall is actually a little selfish.

"Then Gryffindor."
