Nina couldn't understand this guy's reaction, "Maybe it's just because Professor Snape is in a good mood? Didn't they say he always wanted to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts Class Professor? Now that he's gotten his wish, it's normal to tidy up his image."
"Hmm—how do I say this? Although that makes sense, it's still very strange."
Just as Karl was struggling with this, a silvery-white illusory Phoenix suddenly flew in from outside the window and stopped in front of him.
"Karl, come to the Headmasters Office."
Hearing Dumbledore's voice, Karl replied, "Okay, Principal, I'll be right there."
Nina watched curiously as the silvery-white illusory Phoenix flew away, "Is this the legendary Patronus Charm?"
"Correct answer, but unfortunately there's no prize."
"Why?"
"Because I already gave you the Chocolate Frogs."
Karl got up to head to the Headmasters Office, but he didn't expect to run into Snape just as he walked out of the Great Hall.
"Professor!"
Holy crap! He really did wash his hair!
Just as Karl was exclaiming internally, he actually saw Snape smile slightly at him.
Karl: w(°)w
Heavens! I really am seeing a ghost!
He subconsciously thought this Snape was an impostor using Polyjuice Potion, but he quickly realized that it was unlikely there would be such a stupid impersonator, so only one possibility remained.
After the two passed each other, Karl took off running, heading straight for the Headmasters Office.
This is bad! Professor Snape has gone crazy!
Gargoyle: (._.)
"Bamboo shoots fried with meat! Open up!"
Hearing Karl's password, the Gargoyle hesitated for a moment but still made way for him.
Sigh! Humans are indeed fickle!
Last time he politely called me 'Big Brother', and this time he directly ordered me to open the door. Morals are not what they used to be!
Arriving at the Headmasters Office, Karl was surprised to find that besides Dumbledore, there was a stranger in the room.
They seemed to be discussing something, and the atmosphere was very strange and not friendly at all.
And most importantly, the portraits of the former Principals on the wall had actually been covered up again.
After Karl appeared, both of them looked over, and Dumbledore's expression returned to gentleness.
"Principal, is something the matter?"
"Come over and sit down."
So Karl walked toward Dumbledore's desk, while observing this guest.
He was wearing a tattered robe, sitting relaxed in the chair with a casual posture.
A head of gray-white hair had only a few traces of blonde left, and his aged face was covered with deep wrinkles.
Underneath the empty robes was a thin body, and protruding bones made him look very tall.
And while Karl was examining this old Wizard, the other party was also scrutinizing him.
"Albus, is this the Karl OLaughlin you mentioned in your letter?"
A somewhat hoarse, low voice rang out in the office, the tone carrying a kind of casual arrogance.
"That's right, Karl is the most talented child I have ever seen."
Dumbledore conjured a chair beside him and motioned for Karl to sit there.
Seeing this scene, the strange old Wizard suddenly laughed oddly.
"That's truly remarkable, but I want to know, is he your favorite student?"
Karl: (⊙.⊙)
This tone and this sentence! Who exactly are you?
