Days wandering around Hogwarts

Chapter 418: Still Just a Guess

"Hehehe..." Ginny poked Hermione's arm with a smirk, "Do you think I should tell Charles?"

Everyone thought that if Viktor Krum had not been pulled away by his teammates just now, he would have come to Hermione and bought all the goods on the stall.

Hermione said nonchalantly, "Whatever you want."

Harry pinched his chin and said, "I think Charles will ask that person, have you bought a house, have you bought a car, how much is your annual income?"

Ron said, "It seems that marrying Hermione is going to be quite troublesome."

Hermione grabbed the fart wand from the shelf and sprayed the two guys in the face.

"Hey, what's this new product?"

Seamus appeared in front of the stall, pinching his nose and greeting everyone.

His family also opened a branch here selling shampoo and shower gel. Mrs. Finnigan is in charge of the store in Diagon Alley, and Seamus is on the stadium side.

People only come to buy shampoo and other things in the evening, so Ximo can sleep until he wakes up naturally, have breakfast and lunch, take a walk here, and then open his stall.

Fred said to him, "This is a fart wand, want one?"

Seamus thought about it, looked left and right, and after making sure that someone was not there, he asked, "Can you make a wand like Charles's?"

Fred said awkwardly, "I'm afraid Charles will beat me to death."

George went on to say, “So it costs more.”

Seamus took out his wallet and looked at the pocket money inside. He said distressedly, "Ah, there's not enough money. I spent a lot of money on ice cream with her these days."

"Huh?" Hermione noticed something worth noting, "Which girl were you having ice cream with?"

Seamus shook his head and said, "Nothing."

Harry said, "I know who she is. She's a freshman this year and her father works in Charles' company."

Hermione smirked at that.

Seamus just shrugged.

The Weasleys pretended not to hear what they were saying, as more guests arrived.

Business is very good today. Eighty percent of the goods have been sold and everyone's voices are almost hoarse.

The stalls are closed before the game starts, and no one comes to buy things at this time.

Fred and George murmured a few words and bought a lot of butterbeer to take back.

Everyone returns to the Burrow to wait for dinner, when an unexpected guest arrives.

"I brought a roast goose!" Dumbledore raised the large tray in his hand.

Arthur said excitedly: "You can come anytime, you don't have to spend so much money!"

No one expected Dumbledore to be a guest, and everyone was very excited.

Molly glanced at the Weasley clock on the wall and said regretfully, "Alas, Percy isn't coming home for dinner today."

Dumbledore said, "I saw him reporting to the Minister this morning, and the Minister intends to invite him to dinner in the evening."

Arthur said somewhat unhappily, "The werewolf matter is well prepared now, and it doesn't look like there will be any major trouble."

"The cake is almost baked, and some people jump out and want a piece of it."

He is a carefree person who doesn't bother to interfere with the world in the Ministry of Magic, but that doesn't mean he doesn't care about anything. He knows exactly what his son is doing.

He was very unhappy that some people in the Ministry of Magic were timid before, but now that the situation has improved, they are ready to take advantage of it.

Arthur quickly changed the subject, not wanting to sound like he was asking Dumbledore for help. Dinner soon began, and Dumbledore looked around the table and turned to Bill, "Is there someone missing?"

Bill realized who he was talking about and replied, "Bakalova went back to Bulgaria yesterday after finishing the interview that day to prepare for editing and publication."

Dumbledore nodded. One of the reasons for his visit was to see what Grindelwald said.

He thought Bakalova would tell him the content of the interview after the interview, but he waited for so long and didn't see her, so he had no choice but to come here.

I just didn't expect that I was too busy recently and only had time today, but I ended up visiting empty-handed.

Dumbledore thought Grindelwald was causing trouble, but he didn't know what his real goal was, so he was a little worried.

Bill continued, "That gentleman expressed some ideas from decades ago and deeply realized his mistakes. Bakalova thought this was worth studying."

Dumbledore felt something was wrong. That guy would actually publicly admit that he was wrong?

Bill made a few more comments such as "violent rule is wrong", and the more Dumbledore listened, the more he felt there was a problem.

It sounded like Grindelwald was indeed reflecting deeply on his mistakes, but Dumbledore always felt that something was missing.

The others at the table were a little frightened and worried when they heard this. Only then did they realize that the person Bakalova and Bill went to meet that day was a terrible unknown black wizard.

Dumbledore quickly ended the topic by asking Fred and George how their business was going these days, and the atmosphere at the table became cheerful.

After dinner, Dumbledore said to Harry, "Harry, how about taking a walk with an old man like me?"

Harry agreed immediately.

On summer nights, the chirping of insects outside the house is quite noisy.

After they were some distance away from the Burrow, Dumbledore asked Harry, "Do you still feel dizzy these days?"

Harry replied, "I was feeling dizzy again this morning."

Dumbledore thought for a moment and said seriously, "Harry, I have a guess."

"That day, your mother protected you with her life, and Voldemort lost his body because of it."

"I guess something happened at that time that created some connection between you and Voldemort."

Harry asked in surprise, "Are you saying that my dizziness is caused by Voldemort?"

"But... things related to him in the past would only make the scars more painful, not as dizzy as they are now. I even vaguely feel that I can hear Charles singing."

He thought about it and then widened his eyes and asked, "Did Charles get caught by him?"

Harry had this scene in his mind: Voldemort was grinning outside the cell, and Charles was singing inside...

The idea was quickly thrown out of his head. He didn't think anyone could listen to Charles singing for so long.

Dumbledore also didn't think that Charles would be caught. This kid was very smart, and who knew what other cards he had that he had never revealed.

"This is just a guess," said Dumbledore. "I think you could write down when you feel dizzy or unwell, and what you dream about, and tell me."

Harry agreed.

He had considered telling Dumbledore about his dizziness this morning, but when he thought about how busy the headmaster was, he decided not to bother him.

Dumbledore pulled an alarm clock out of his pocket, checked the time, and said, "You can go back by yourself. I still have to talk to the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts for next school year."

Harry asked curiously, "Which professor?"

Dumbledore replied: "It's an old friend of mine who is very interested in this job."
