Hogwarts: Why do you call me the Demon King?

Without a doubt, this is the sword of Gryffindor.

Crafted from sterling silver and inlaid with rubies—the very color that represents Gryffindor in the Hogwarts hourglass.

The full name of its first owner, Godric Gryffindor, is engraved on the blade directly below the hilt.

"Is this right? This isn't magic! Merlin's old tricks, how could this sword be pulled out so easily?"

Isaac showed the sword in his hand to Professor Venda, and then prepared to put it back in its place.

Things should be kept in an orderly manner; Isaac developed this good habit when he was a child in his past life.

Although he couldn't understand why the sword would be stuck into the hat, he decided to respect it.

To be honest, Isaac was quite tempted when he saw Gryffindor's sword. No man can resist the allure of a weapon.

Not to mention that this is Gryffindor's sword.

Regardless of the sword's inherent quality, its story and legends are all top-notch.

If Isaac weren't too short and hadn't never learned swordsmanship, he might have accidentally broken the sword.

How is it not picking up Griffin's sword from the Sorting Hat?

It only has Gryffindor's name engraved on it, so whoever finds it can keep it?

What a pity, what a pity.

With Dumbledore watching over things, it seems impossible not to return it.

Just as Isaac was about to put the sword back in its place, the old hat suddenly cried out in panic.

"Wait, you wicked little wizard! What are you doing??? Dumbledore, can't you control him?!"

The Sorting Hat's voice was hoarse and raspy, like a chicken about to be plucked.

It's just sticking it in, right?

It was easy to pull out just now, so what's the problem with shoving it back in? Why is there so much trouble with such a simple hat!

"Alright, Isaac, spare the poor Sorting Hat." Dumbledore finally spoke up and rescued the Sorting Hat.

Unfortunately, the Sorting Hat has no eyes and can't see Dumbledore's gaze. At this moment, Dumbledore's look at the Sorting Hat was more than just pity.

Old hat, old hat, who did you offend?

Everyone in the principal's office knows that Isaac is petty. So what if you let someone stab you in the back?

Who didn't get stabbed when they were young?

Chapter 46 The Golden Hogwarts

“Isaac, if you’re not too busy lately, could you do me a favor?” Dumbledore knew how to distract Isaac.

He said this to Isaac.

Professor Wenda immediately realized that the two were planning to have a private conversation and had no intention of eavesdropping.

He immediately got up to say goodbye.

“Professor Rosier, please wait a moment. I may also need your help,” Dumbledore said, trying to persuade Professor Venda to stay.

Professor Wenda paused for a moment, then smoothly sat back down in her seat.

Then Dumbledore took out a handwritten letter and handed it to Isaac.

"I need you and Hagrid, our hunting ground keeper, to help me retrieve something from Gringotts."

You should know what that is.

Isaac nodded; even without the prophecy, he knew Dumbledore was referring to the Philosopher's Stone obtained from Nick Flamel.

When Isaac read Harry Potter in his past life, he always thought that this thing was something Dumbledore had specifically asked Nick Flamel for.

However, this is not the case now.

The Flamels, having seemingly had enough of life, were eager for another great adventure. But they entrusted the Philosopher's Stone to Dumbledore.

This essentially gives Dumbledore a choice—he can live as long as he wants, as long as he desires.

Unfortunately, Dumbledore was already eager to embark on his next great adventure.

So he simply used this thing as bait to lure Voldemort.

Our senior Tom actually fell for it.

No wonder Voldemort didn't dare to embarrass Dumbledore even at his peak.

Tom really can't outmaneuver Dumbledore.

The most direct evidence is that the transmission of the Philosopher's Stone occurred only between Nick Flamel and Dumbledore.

Only the two of them knew that the Philosopher's Stone had changed hands.

Dumbledore deposited the Philosopher's Stone in Gringotts Vault 713, one of Gringotts' highest-security vaults.

The goblins of Gringotts are masters of flattery and snobbery; how could they possibly side with Voldemort while Dumbledore was still alive?

Isaac once suspected that he himself had leaked the news that Dumbledore had put the Philosopher's Stone in the vault.

Then, shortly after the news was released, Hagrid was instructed to bring the Philosopher's Stone back to Hogwarts.

This was to seduce Voldemort into finding a way to enter Hogwarts and confront Dumbledore, the "old Dumbledore."

With that in mind, Isaac readily agreed.

"No problem, Professor Dumbledore. You can rest assured that I'll handle this. It won't go wrong!"

Seeing that Isaac had agreed, Dumbledore added leisurely, "By the way, let Hagrid come and get that thing."

Isaac's eyes widened instantly: "You don't trust me?!"

“I trust you, Isaac.” Dumbledore shook his head kindly. “But I don’t want you to turn the whole of Hogwarts into a golden castle.”

Old Deng, you still say you didn't use Legilimency!

Isaac was completely dumbfounded. He was just an ordinary little wizard. Was it really necessary to be so wary of him?

Besides, doesn't the Golden Castle look awesome?

When future Hogwarts graduates boast to wizards from other countries, they can say, "My magic school is made of gold; how envious would that be?"

Besides, it can also solve the problem of poor students at Hogwarts—if a family is struggling financially, they can just scrape off a piece of plaster from the wall or pry up a corner of the floor to make up their living expenses. It's a win-win situation!

Looking at the dejected Isaac before him, Dumbledore was even more grateful for his judgment.

The child is indeed a good child, but the unpredictability is just too strong.

Thank goodness he let Hagrid act as an insurance agent...

Dumbledore suddenly realized that the young wizard before him might be an even more difficult opponent than Tom Riddle.

Forget it, let's just trust the wisdom of future generations.

He had already dealt with Grindelwald and subdued Voldemort; he couldn't care less about anything else.

He was just a lonely old wizard.

Dumbledore looked at Professor Venda: "Professor Rosier, if it's convenient, I would like you to take my place in introducing a young wizard to the magical world."

"Oh?" Professor Wenda seemed somewhat interested.

Dumbledore is the highest mountain and the longest river in the wizarding world today; very few wizards would be chosen by him to personally enlighten the wizarding world.

In an instant, Professor Venda realized who Dumbledore was referring to: "Your savior here, Harry Potter?"

Dumbledore nodded.

"If nothing unexpected happens, Harry should have received his acceptance letter by the owl messenger long ago."

But we never received his reply.

Despite sending more owls, however…

Dumbledore shook his head at this point. To be honest, if he weren't so busy, he would have liked to go and see what was going on with Harry.

Although Isaac's appearance diminished Harry Potter's importance in Dumbledore's eyes.

But after all, Harry was the offspring of a hero who had fought against Voldemort, and Dumbledore had made so many plans around him.

Originally, Dumbledore didn't want to trouble Venda Rozier.

But Hogwarts only has so many staff during the holidays, considering that Harry Potter is currently living with a Muggle family.

The person sent to introduce Harry to the wizarding world should at least be a decent human being, right?

Hagrid and Professor Flitwick were thus excluded from this discussion.

As for Professor McGonagall, the elderly catgirl is so busy she's practically running around like crazy. It's a miracle she's not hissing at Old Dumbledore; if you send her another live cat, the Dean, she might really cause a scene.

As for Professor Snape...

Given Harry's appearance, would Dumbledore dare to let Snape get close to him?

That's clearly Porter, very Porter.

Finally, Dean Sprout had several greenhouses of herbs to care for, and she didn't usually like to go out.
