Because Cowen had to get up early every day to go out to exercise, the two roommates did not realize that he had actually been away overnight.
After breakfast, Kewen went back to the dormitory to pick up today's textbooks, and went to class with his two roommates.
There was only one Transfiguration class in the morning, and Cowen was the first to use the spell perfectly, adding five points to Gryffindor.
When class was over, Professor McGonagall stopped Ke Wen, who wanted to rush back to the dormitory to catch up on sleep.
"Professor, what can you do?" Ke Wen asked.
Professor McGonagall: "Kevin, come to my office after you finish flying lessons this afternoon."
"Good professor." Although he didn't understand why Professor McGonagall didn't say anything directly, Ke Wen still agreed.
"Go." Professor McGonagall nodded with a smile: "Looking at the way you hurriedly walked just now, is there something you are in a hurry to do? Go quickly."
"Okay, goodbye, professor." Ke Wen didn't explain, and turned to leave after saying goodbye.
I walked back to the dormitory quickly all the way, but I didn't see the two roommates. I guess they were basking in the sun in the central courtyard at this time.
After thinking about it, Ke Wen took out a piece of paper, wrote 'Don't call me for lunch' on it, and pasted the paper outside the door.
Next, Ke Wen raised his hand and pointed his wand towards the window, cast a 'Silencing Curse' on the window, and then quickly took off his clothes and got into bed.
He raised his hand to set the time for the alarm clock, and added a 'silencing spell' around his bed as double insurance to prevent his roommate's voice from waking him up.
After everything was ready, Ke Wen covered the quilt, closed his eyes and began to sleep.
Not long after, Ke Wen fell asleep...
…
After the flying lesson in the afternoon, Kewen came all the way to Professor McGonagall's office and knocked on the door.
Soon the office door opened, and Professor McGonagall suddenly smiled when he saw Ke Wen.
"Come with me." Professor McGonagall did not let Kewen enter the room, but walked out of the room and closed the office door.
"Professor, where are we going?" Ke Wen asked puzzledly as he stepped to keep up.
"Let's go to the principal's office." Professor McGonagall replied to Cowen.
"Principal's office?" Ke Wen was taken aback, wondering if this day has finally come? It's finally time to face Headmaster Dumbledore.
After muttering in his heart, Ke Wen continued to ask: "Professor, did Principal Dumbledore ask me for something?"
"Well." Professor McGonagall nodded this time without looking back, "It's about arranging a place for you to practice spells, and the principal still needs to give you some instructions."
Ke Wen was thoughtful and prepared at the same time, and activated the 'Occlumency' silently.
It didn't take long for the two of them to arrive at the door of the principal's office. Professor McGonagall opened the magic mechanism with a password, led Ke Wen through the spiral staircase, and knocked on the office door.
"Please come in." Headmaster Dumbledore's voice came faintly from behind the door.
Upon hearing this, Professor McGonagall pushed open the door, and then bowed his head to greet Kewen: "Let's go in."
Ke Wen nodded, followed Professor McGonagall, and entered the principal's room.
"Oh, Minerva, you're here." Principal Dumbledore was sitting behind his desk, as if he was writing something.
Hearing the door knock at this time, Dumbledore lowered his head slightly, looked at the door through the small half-moon-shaped glasses, and greeted Professor McGonagall after seeing him.
After greeting, Dumbledore immediately shifted his gaze to Cowen, who was looking at him curiously.
Looking at Ke Wen's gaze, Dumbledore suddenly smiled, and said in a brisk tone: "You are the Ke Wen Quinn that the professors keep praising, right? This is our first official meeting, relax some kids."
"Hello, Headmaster Dumbledore." Cowen greeted with formulaic courtesy.
"Well, good afternoon, little guy." Dumbledore's tone seemed a little warm and kind.
"Principal." When outsiders were around, Professor McGonagall always addressed Dumbledore very formally, and said at this moment: "You can talk to Ke Wen, I'll go back to approve the homework first."
"Alright Minerva, sorry for your trouble." Dumbledore nodded happily.
Professor McGonagall looked at Kewen again, and comforted him with a gentle smile: "Next, you can talk to the principal and relax."
"Good professor." Ke Wen responded with a sensible face.
Watching Professor McGonagall leave the office, Kewen turned back, looked at Dumbledore again, and asked Principal Dumbledore, who was looking at him: "Mr. thing?"
"Oh, of course." Dumbledore laughed and said, "Would you like some candy before chatting? I always have 'cockroach pile' and 'Bibi's more flavored beans' here."
"No, thank you principal." Ke Wen shook his head and refused, then explained: "I don't like candy and chocolate very much, it's too sweet."
"Ah, well..." Dumbledore's tone was a little disappointed, and after shaking his head, he greeted softly: "Come here, kid, come and sit here."
"Okay, thank you principal." Cowen responded politely, stepped forward, sat down in the guest chair, and faced Dumbledore across the table.
"Then let's talk about business first." Dumbledore said.
"Good sir." Ke Wen sat upright.
"Relax." Dumbledore reassured him again, and continued, "Both you, Professor Flitwick and McGonagall, came to me to apply for you before, and the application asked me to arrange a classroom for you to practice spells." .”
Seeing that Kewen didn't answer the conversation and only listened quietly, Dumbledore had no choice but to continue: "Before I couldn't spend the teaching resources of the college alone for you, but yesterday your Professor McGonagall told me... you Mastered the 'Memory Charm', right?"
"Yes, sir." Ke Wen replied truthfully: "I have fully mastered the 'Memory Curse'."
"Well, a remarkable result." Dumbledore praised, and then said: "Although I don't know the 'Memory Curse', I know that other wizards who know the 'Memory Curse' will have a common problem, that is, the initial lack of knowledge. Endless longing."
"After Professor McGonagall told me about your situation yesterday, I knew that I must arrange a place for you to practice the spell."
"You need to practice the spell to suppress that desire for knowledge."
"Yes, Mr. Principal." Ke Wen showed a little excited look at the right time: "Professor McGonagall revealed the hidden dangers of that state to me yesterday, but I can only temporarily suppress the extreme desire for knowledge."
"You've done a good job." Dumbledore said with a smile: "Other people of the same age don't have the self-control like you. If you were someone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to suppress that desire at all."
Hearing this, Ke Wen showed a humble look on his face...
