Hogwarts: Why do you call me the Demon King?

These are some of the more unique talents possessed by wizards.

Aside from the last one, the first two talents of Parsley might be more suited to a circus or a zoo?

Disguised Magus is better suited to be a secret agent.

These special talents were not unacceptable to Mr. Granger, and his anxiety eased somewhat.

Reassured, Mr. Granger fully displayed his eloquence.

Before long, he had enlivened the atmosphere at the dinner table.

When Mrs. Granger brought Hermione to the Leaky Cauldron, Isaac was already practically arm-in-arm with Mr. Granger.

“Come here, Hermione~ This is a great new guy Isaac I just met. He’s practically a local in the wizarding world, and we got along really well.”

Seeing her father's slightly dazed look, Hermione suddenly had a bad feeling.

Then he heard Isaac say to Mr. Granger, "Well, I knew Miss Granger was a woman of great things the moment I saw her."

Their future in the magical world is limitless.

Isaac's words sounded perfectly reasonable; they were nothing but praise.

But the more Hermione listened to his praising tone and stance, the more uncomfortable she felt.

Who was the last person to praise themselves like that?

Oh right, she was her father's classmate who was a doctor at a hospital in London! Her father even told her that he was her uncle in London.

Wow, it's only been a short time since we last met, how come her peers are already so much older?

Is this correct?!

Hermione, who hadn't broken down, still maintained some dignity. Ignoring her father, she reminded Isaac.

"Valdorei, it seems you didn't pay the bookstore manager just now?"

I mean, can I pay for books mailed from Flourish & Blotts after delivery?

"Give the money to the bookstore's owl and let it take it back to the bookstore?"

"I'm afraid Flourish and Blotts doesn't offer that service. Perhaps you could ask the manager next time?"

I didn't pay because my bookstore bill would be mailed to Hogwarts.

Dumbledore will pay this bill for me.

Miss Hermione, who had finally been calmed down by Mrs. Granger, now seemed to be turning to stone again.

Chapter 17 Dumbledore's Summoning Device

What do you mean your bill will be sent to the Hogwarts Headmaster's office?

What does it mean that Dumbledore will pay your Flourish and Blotts bills?

Miss Granger recognized each of the individual words Isaac uttered, but when they were put together in these two sentences, she wished she wasn't so good at understanding them.

You're actually trying to tell me that Dumbledore was a powerful and loving wizard.

He was willing to pay the bill because he was kind?

“Yes, Professor Dumbledore is a very kind person.” Isaac smiled and nodded to Hermione.

His eyes were full of praise and encouragement.

Little girl, I'm not only happy for Dumbledore that you think of him this way, but I'm also willing to cross your name off in some little notebook.

This little notebook is called "Who is Dumbledore's Favorite Student?"

Isaac's words made Hermione's expression change drastically. She instinctively covered her mouth, only to realize that she hadn't said what was on her mind.

Has she been bewitched by a mind-reading spell?!

"In the magical world, we don't say mind reading, we say legatomic thinking. Actually, my learning progress hasn't reached the point where I can learn legatomic thinking yet."

Isaac explained to Hermione with an innocent expression.

"Moreover, any wizard who can perform Legilimency so effortlessly, without a staff or a sound, must be a master wizard."

Do I look like a magician to you?

Oh no! The human skin demon has arrived demanding a reward!

Hermione shuddered, instinctively feeling that it was best not to answer the question.

And... she admitted that Isaac had some truth to it, but why could this guy read her mind?!

Chang Wei! You still say you can't read minds?

Isaac gave an awkward yet polite smile. It wasn't that he could read minds; it was just that Hermione's expressions at this age were too rich and too easy to understand.

Isaac's two lifetimes combined didn't outlive Dumbledore's single lifetime.

But how much discernment does he actually possess across both lifetimes?

In addition, Isaac has been passively practicing his eyesight a lot in prophecies, so it is perfectly reasonable that he can now see through the thoughts of an 11-year-old girl.

That makes perfect sense.

Mr. Granger, standing to the side, clapped enthusiastically like a seal and told Isaac that the performance was truly wonderful.

In high spirits, the man even planned to take out his wallet and reward Isaac handsomely with pounds.

Unfortunately, Mrs. Granger stopped this impulsive behavior in time.

Isaac immediately let out a regretful sigh.

It's really rare to find a "top-ranked guy" like this who gets easily agitated after drinking.

Finally, with Isaac's help, Mrs. Granger returned home with her distraught daughter and bewildered husband.

“Thank you so much, Isaac.” Mrs. Granger warmly shook Isaac’s hand.

She kept glancing at her husband, who was half-paralyzed in the passenger seat, and felt a strong itch in her back teeth.

If Mr. Granger doesn't wake up tonight, Hermione might find her dear father on the sofa in the living room, in the entryway of the hallway, or even by the toilet in the bathroom tomorrow.

"If you have time, please do come visit my home. By the way, this is our address."

Mrs. Granger took out her business card, hurriedly wrote down their address on the back with a pen, and then got into the driver's seat of the car.

Isaac only withdrew his hand after watching the Granger family leave.

Hopefully, little witch Hermione will get a good night's sleep tonight, and when she wakes up, she'll realize that the wizarding world isn't actually that dark.

Not everyone can be like Isaac, who not only looks like the son of an old friend, but also has the appearance of that old friend.

After seeing the Granger family off, Isaac prepared to head home.

His purpose in going out today was to find some advanced books on Transfiguration to read.

The bookstore manager's recommendations were very helpful.

Two textbooks, two periodicals, plus a well-organized collection of periodicals.

These books are enough for Isaac to see Hogwarts open.

As for the start of the school year, Hogwarts' library will welcome their strictest father!

Just as Isaac was about to get into the car that the old butler had arranged to pick him up, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

The next second, Isaac turned around and walked into the Leaky Cauldron without hesitation.

He first asked old Tom to tell the driver waiting outside to go home first, and that he would go home on his own later.

Then head straight to the Owl Shop in Diagon Alley.

The owner of the Owl Shop still remembers Isaac—in fact, Isaac should be a celebrity in Diagon Alley these days.

During this period, Harry Potter wasn't even as famous as Isaac.

After all, how many years has Harry Potter been the savior?

Dumbledore's illegitimate son is a unique case in decades.

Yes, that's right. In just one month, Isaac's relationship with Dumbledore has gone from distant relatives to illegitimate son.

Unfortunately, judging from the efficiency of gossip dissemination, the spread of information about Dumbledore's illegitimate children is indeed far more efficient than that of distant relatives of the Dumbledore family.

"Oh, it's Mr. Dumbledore. It's a pleasure to see you. You seem to be in a hurry. Is there something wrong with the owl?"

The owner of the owl shop was a little nervous when he saw Isaac rushing over.

Please, even if this person isn't Professor Dumbledore's illegitimate son, he still has a very close relationship with Dumbledore.

It would be terrible if the owl he sold to Isaac broke down after only a month.

Although there is no "three guarantees" or "seven-day no-reason return policy" in the magical world, a wizard's strength is the best guarantee.

As for Dumbledore's power... he could even refund an unlimited amount if he wanted to.

"No, sir. Kuku is fine. I came here hoping to borrow the shop's owl."

"I need to send a letter to Dumbledore immediately."

Upon hearing Isaac's words, the owl shop owner immediately offered up his owl.
