Horace Slughorn was a particularly talkative man. He ran to the kitchen and chatted for a while, entertaining Dumbledore and Anton to sit down and enjoy morning tea.
Well, to be precise, Anton's was fruit tea. He prepared a special cocktail for himself and Dumbledore that exuded a gleaming purple light.
It looks full of radiation.
"You shouldn't have burned my letters!" Slughorn took a sip of wine, invited Dumbledore to taste the blueberry cheese ice cream cake he prepared, and looked at Anton with a serious face, "You are also the Ministry of Magic now.
Official, do you know Dirk Creswell?"
Anton blinked and shook his head to express that he was unclear.
"He is the director of the Goblin Liaison Office of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures of the Ministry of Magic. He is one of my favorite students in my life. Although he is from a Muggle family, he has very high qualifications."
Anton would not look down on the director of the Goblin Liaison Office just because Uncle Lupine was the Director of the Department for the Management and Control of Magical Creatures. His teacher at the Ministry of Magic, Ronaldo Sr., once told him about the internal ecology of the Ministry of Magic.
Those with weight and those with key rights are two completely different approaches.
The director of the Goblin Liaison Office is the kind of position that holds key power, which involves not only the game between pure-blood families, the game within the Ministry of Magic, but also some deeper aspects of the wizarding world.
For example, the support of Professor Slughorn, who is full of talents and enjoys a high status in the pure-blood family group.
He obviously knows better than Dumbledore how to maintain the friendship between teachers and students brought about by his hard-working career as a professor.
"We have a good relationship and have always maintained a good relationship." Slughorn raised his head slightly proudly, then leaned over and whispered, "He often reveals to me some internal information about Gringotts.
Precious news, that’s what I originally wrote to tell you.”
Anton quietly glanced at Dumbledore. Old Deng didn't say anything at this time. He just tasted the ice cream cake one bite after another, his eyebrows flying as he ate. "You mean..."
Slughorn nodded slightly, "I heard that you got involved with Pedro, the only remaining wise man of the goblin clan. This is not a good thing. He has obviously been forgiven by the goblins in Gringotts.
and support."
Anton remained silent and just unconsciously rubbed the gilt lines on the scented tea cup.
"He is obviously too active." Slughorn clicked his tongue, "Involved in the Muggle Squib incident, he used the Muggle Vernon Dursley to get in touch with the Department of Mysteries, and then hooked up with the International Merlin
Jazz Ensemble.”
"Later, they used the British pure-blood family to plan to cultivate the 'first Muggle squib' wizard Dudley Dursley, and got in touch with the Death Eaters."
After talking about the information collected from various places, Slughorn stared at Anton with a serious face, "This is obviously a huge trouble. When it comes to race, this is definitely better than the 'wizard supremacy' within human beings."
Or the more terrifying problem of 'pure blood supremacy'..."
"If you are not careful, it will easily destroy the prestige you have established in front of everyone, and may even make you alienate everyone!"
"Mr. Weasley, you know I am not lying. The problem between Muggles and wizards among humans alone is enough to start a terrible war, not to mention the goblin clan that will be suppressed at the slightest sign."
"If you are wise enough, you should know..."
"Stay away from this goblin wise man!"
The three people present are all top Occlumency masters. No one can read any information from anyone else's mind. Everyone can only observe their own micro-expressions.
Anton found that even Dumbledore stopped holding the little spoon in his hand and stared at him seriously.
Obviously, they all want to make a statement.
And his attitude...
"Pedro is my family."
This was Anton's attitude. He did not roar with full emotions like Harry or Hermione, but calmly told all this in front of him, "No matter what happened to the goblin clan in the end, whether it rose or was destroyed,
Pedro will always be part of my family. Just like I still think of Voldemort as my professor."
hiss
Slughorn gasped.
You're buying one and getting one free. I'm asking you about race, and you actually got involved with Tom?
He seemed to be choking on saliva and started coughing crazily. When he saw Dumbledore coming to help him pat his back, he waved his hand. It took a while before he calmed down.
"I'm too old to be frightened. I feel that if I go to school to help you and Mr. Weiss, my lifespan may be shortened due to too much excitement!"
Dumbledore looked at him with a smile, "Oh, we all know that you are actually much tougher than me."
Slughorn curled his lips at Old Deng, then looked at Anton seriously, "Boy, you are stupid!"
Anton shrugged, took a table knife and cut a piece of ice cream cake onto his own small plate, looking indifferent.
"In fact, I wanted to help Pedro solve this matter completely."
"I promised to research the 'Fairy Human Animagus' for him..."
Before Anton finished speaking, Slughorn suddenly exclaimed, "Elf human Animagus?"
Even Dumbledore was shocked.
Really, this child frightened him too much, not to mention the magic method of 'grafting the collective consciousness formed by the general consensus of scientific and technological knowledge in individual Muggle memories' that Anton just described, or the magic method of
Muggles become wizards, and goblins become humans. This is even more outrageous!
"Is it weird?"
Anton looked at these two old wizards who could be said to be the most knowledgeable in astonishment. Seeing that even Dumbledore looked surprised, he blinked innocently.
He scooped a spoonful of ice cream cake and stuffed it into his mouth. After waiting for a while, seeing that they still couldn't accept it, he had to explain to them carefully what he took for granted.
"First of all, we have a very clear fact. Humans, magical animals, goblins and other magical creatures we know do not have reproductive isolation."
"Oh, maybe you don't understand the term reproductive isolation, which means they can reproduce together."
Slughorn frowned and leaned back, muttering, "Oh, this is simply the sentence I don't like to hear the most. Although I don't have a firm belief in the bloodline of a pure-blood family, this
……I can not accept!"
Dumbledore gave him a reproachful look, "Horace, I don't think it's appropriate to interrupt at this time. I want to hear what Anton has to say."
Slughorn smacked his lips and made a gesture of invitation to Anton, "You continue."
Anton smiled slightly at him, "Maybe you can also call me Anton, I like this name."
"Um...Okay, Anton, keep talking."
okay.
When talking about magic rather than sociological or political topics, Anton always becomes energetic and his eyes are full of light.
"We just talked about, oh, there is no reproductive isolation between them, so we will find that there are hybrid offspring between humans and fairies, there are hybrid offspring between humans and giants, there are hybrid offspring between humans and magical animals, such as enchantments
, original werewolf and the like.”
"This is actually a very interesting subject."
"If you look at this matter from a higher perspective, you will magically find that all these creatures are magical creatures, and the connection between them is a bloodline that is more complex and more complex than what we generally recognize in our consciousness.
Advanced carrying..."
"That's the magic."
"To be precise, it should be traces of magic. Well, this is another topic. We need to talk about gray magic, so let's not talk about it for now."
"I tend to put all Muggles among humans into the 'Squibs' category of 'Magical Creatures and Humans', because in fact everyone contains magic, Muggles just lack the ability to cast magic."
"Based on such assumptions and theories, we can do experiments to verify whether this is correct."
"According to this theory, I was lucky enough to find that by improving the Animagus, humans can transform from ordinary magical creatures into werewolves."
Dumbledore frowned, "No, Anton, they are ordinary animals. The original Animagus can only transform into ordinary animals, not ordinary magical creatures."
"No, no, no." Anton shook his finger, "Just like the pets that little wizards like to keep, they are not ordinary animals. Wizards can see the Ministry of Magic, Dementors through the original Animagus
And so on, but Muggles and ordinary animals without magic, or unable to cast magic, cannot see these. This is a good way to verify."
Dumbledore was surprised that he had indeed not noticed this.
He looked at Anton thoughtfully, "So, the original Animagus can transform into other magical creatures, but those creatures are more like wizard pets, not werewolves."
"Yes!" Anton smiled brightly, "So the werewolf Animagus I researched is actually nothing. It's really just a slight improvement."
"Actually, I realized this when I first started learning magic."
"Relying on the bionic magic spell, I can transform into almost anything with magic power. Its underlying magic operation is actually the connection of the 'bloodline' of magic power."
Anton looked at Slughorn, "When you go to school, you can go to another potion professor, Alex Fiennes. He is my first teacher. He invented a potion. It's called the 'Wizard's Eyes', able to observe the light and patterns of magic."
"I've heard of him!" Slughorn's eyes lit up, "Wizard's eyes? Sounds very good!"
Anton nodded, "Yes, it's a great potion. After drinking that potion, you will see chairs made of wood in the Muggle world, chairs made of magical trees in the magical world, and chairs we use There is a completely different difference between the chair created by the transfiguration spell and your magical effect of turning yourself into a chair!"
"That's when you will clearly feel the huge difference between having magic and not having it."
"so……"
Anton looked at them excitedly, "Wizards can turn into chairs, magical plants, magical animals, and magical creatures through magic. So what's weird about turning into a goblin?"
"On the other hand, if fairies turn into humans through a method similar to that of Animagus, what's so strange about it?"
"It's really not weird." Slughorn nodded with deep sympathy, and then shook his head in horror, "No! It's still weird!"
Dumbledore looked at Anton with emotion, "You used your wisdom and your deep knowledge of magic to convince us!"
"But not everyone is like us two old men and can accept your point of view."
Slughorn nodded, "In fact, the fact that you turned Muggles into wizards is shocking enough, and it's enough that many people can't accept it."
"Quack quack..."
Anton smiled and raised his eyebrows at them, "So, if I invented the 'Fairy Animagus' after the 'Werewolf Animagus', would I be able to easily solve this problem? ?”
"What should we do further? If I follow the method of 'Grey Magic' such as 'Muggle Transformation Wizard', so that human beings can completely possess traces of the magic power of fairies, oh, that is, bloodline..."
"So, can humans use the secret methods of fairies? They have extremely high sensitivity to space and time, etc."
The path of gray magic, shown in front of Anton, is so open in all directions.
If the goblins can, it seems that the super magic resistance of the giants, the astrology talents of the centaurs, etc. are not impossible to obtain.
How can magic be such an inconvenient thing?
"!
"Slughorn and Dumbledore both took a breath.
this……
It doesn't seem impossible...
Anton sighed, "Originally, I hoped to research the human Animagus of fairies, but my family members, Uncle Lupin and Uncle Rozier, both went to warn Pedro and asked him not to involve me.
Things like fairies and humans go up."
"I think Pedro also regards me as family, so he also agreed with this statement and never came to me to mention this matter again."
"But I always remember wanting to do something for this family."
Anton pursed his lips and looked at Dumbledore and Slughorn, "The topic of goblins is indeed very sensitive, so I plan to throw out the 'Antlered White Bear Animagus' first. This is my top 100
Rewards prepared by the warriors who win the third stage of the competition.”
Dumbledore sighed, "Anton, you are changing the world!"
Slughorn jumped up even more excitedly, pulled out a suitcase from the corner, and dragged the piano in the corner of the living room hard to stuff it in. When Anton and Dumbledore looked over, he couldn't help but
He smiled and said, "I can't wait to go to Hogwarts!"
Dumbledore looked at Slughorn with wide eyes, "Merlin's beard, you don't look like you are clumsy!"
