Hogwarts: Why do you call me the Demon King?

The next instant, the squeezing was released, and Isaac felt as if he had just been squeezed out of a rubber tube.

Novice Apparition users often experience nausea, vomiting, disorientation, and even fainting.

However, these discomforts did not manifest in Isaac.

He stood still and stretched his arms and legs, finally getting used to the feeling.

“Excellent adaptability, Isaac. You seem very well suited for this magic.”

Dumbledore could tell that this was the first time Isaac had been Apparated.

This is not mind control or spiritual manipulation; it is simply a "passive skill" condensed from an old man's more than 100 years of experience.

For Dumbledore, he had lived so long and experienced so much.

There's not much that can be hidden from him just by looking.

“No, I’ve just experienced worse things.” Isaac looked like he had something else on his mind.

Everyone has moments of arrogance, like Isaac when he first awakened his prophetic talent.

He was young then and didn't know how to "refuse," so when making prophecies, he accepted all the prophetic images that came his way.

His prediction was a glimpse into one possibility for the future.

For example.

In the magical world, Harry Potter can be seen as a future direction in a timeline.

Similarly, fan works created by authors can also be considered a branch of the timeline.

There are countless such branches.

This prophetic talent is closer to Doctor Strange's timeline observations.

If there are so many possibilities from Harry Potter's perspective, imagine how many more prophecies could be made from the perspective of the entire world.

In other words, Isaac was a time traveler, not a real child. He quickly stopped his prophecy when he sensed something was wrong.

Even so, the information flow brought by this prophecy made him lie listlessly in bed at the orphanage for several days.

This incident also led Grindelwald to make fun of him quite a bit—Isaac had reason to suspect that Grindelwald, who also possessed the talent for prophecy, must have suffered the same fate.

Compared to the sensory overload of information, Dumbledore's Apparition was much more bearable to Isaac.

Even after many years, Isaac still feels lingering fear whenever he thinks about it.

And this also taught him the most important quality in the magical world—caution.

Out of caution, Isaac did not try to obtain the wand ahead of time.

Out of caution, he did not rashly learn or practice magic.

Also out of caution, despite Isaac having seen real-life versions of Diagon Alley many times in his prophecies.

He never came even once.

Isaac had experienced that kind of rapid development in his previous life.

He wasn't really a child, and Diagon Alley held little appeal for him unless he needed to acquire magical resources like wands.

But, since we're already here...

Isaac discovered that Dumbledore did not enter Diagon Alley through the usual means.

That means you first go to the Leaky Cauldron, and then open the passage to Diagon Alley by breaking bricks.

They Apparated directly to the streets of Diagon Alley, the most bustling area in the British wizarding world, and with the start of the school year approaching, Diagon Alley was exceptionally lively.

"So, should we go to Gringotts now and exchange some Galleons?" Isaac pulled his wallet out of his pocket.

His wallet contained all his "family wealth".

He had to thank the gentlemen and ladies of Barnet, who were so generous that Isaac had amassed quite a fortune over the years.

You can tell from his bulging wallet.

Isaac's ancestors had long ago taught him that one should not have the heart to harm others, but one should not be without the heart to guard against others.

He was very grateful for Grindelwald's funding, but Isaac also had to make preparations.

If he is required to leave 12 Medway Street immediately at some unavoidable moment, he needs to have some backup plan and options.

Therefore, Isaac always kept the money he earned from performing.

This is exactly the kind of product that comes in handy now.

"You will certainly need some expenses to live in the wizarding world, but Gringotts is not our first stop."

While studying at Hogwarts, young wizards from Muggle families can exchange pounds for Galleons at Gringotts.

Each junior wizard can redeem up to 100 Galleons per year.

You can exchange some pocket money at Gringotts at the end of our trip.”

"Now let's go to the first stop of this trip - Flourish and Blotts."

Isaac was filled with envy upon hearing Dumbledore's boastful yet oblivious remarks.

He even secretly imitated Dumbledore's calm and matter-of-fact demeanor.

100 Galleons as pocket money...

Honestly, if the Weasleys heard this, Ronald Weasley would probably burst into tears.

After Dumbledore finished speaking, he led Isaac toward Diagon Alley. At that moment, Isaac finally understood just how prestigious the highest mountain in the British wizarding world truly was.

Nearly 90% of the wizards on the street could recognize Dumbledore.

They greeted Dumbledore warmly, then looked at him standing beside him.

"Professor Dumbledore, you actually brought a young wizard to Diagon Alley this year?"

Chapter 9: All expenses will be paid by Mr. Deng!

Since Dumbledore became headmaster, he has not accepted any young wizards for enrollment.

the reason is simple.

It's perfectly reasonable that Dumbledore didn't become the headmaster and had to teach young wizards from Muggle families.

If a principal has to give lectures, then what's the point of being a principal?

Hogwarts graduates year after year, and Dumbledore serves as headmaster year after year.

Looking at the beloved Dumbledore in the crowd, Isaac finally understood why Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge was so wary of Dumbledore in the Harry Potter books.

With Dumbledore's reputation, he doesn't even need to resort to the rhetoric of "the old heavens are dead, the new heavens shall rise."

If he says "I want to be Minister of Magic" on the street today, someone in the Ministry of Magic will impeach Cornelius Fudge tomorrow and force him to step down.

Even in voting, the number of supporters must far exceed the number of abstainers.

As for the opponents... aside from one or two Cornelius Fudge confidants, probably no one would object.

Under such pressure, if nothing major happens, the Ministry of Magic might still be able to keep to itself and Hogwarts.

However, when faced with a major decision, all wizards, including those in the Ministry of Magic, tend to ask Dumbledore to step in.

Cornell Fudge is like a newborn baby.

He would use the most clumsy methods to test his "parents".

During this period, Dumbledore was clearly the doting mother type, simply indulging Cornelius Fudge.

However, since Dumbledore is a loving mother, Isaac can indeed create a strict father for Cornelius Fudge.

Gellert Grindelwald was definitely the most stern father of all the Ministers of Magic.

See, now everything's perfect!

Isaac snapped out of his daze and realized that he and Dumbledore had arrived at the entrance of Flourish and Blotts.

Throughout the journey, Dumbledore did not neglect any of the wizards he spoke with.

The wizards did not bother Dumbledore too much.

After exchanging only a few words, he stood there and watched Dumbledore leave with longing.

Upon entering Flourish and Blotts, the manager immediately greeted us.

"Professor Dumbledore, welcome!"

"Prepare a textbook for this gentleman, the kind of textbook a first-year wizard would need," Dumbledore said to the bookstore manager, gesturing to Isaac beside him.

"No problem!" Without saying a word, the bookstore manager waved his wand, and a packaged textbook floated over from a nearby shelf.

Along with it came a package of quill pens, parchment, and ink, all neatly packed together.

"Professor Dumbledore, these are the textbooks that first-year wizards will need, along with the parchment, quills, and ink that come with the full subscription."

Isaac knew about the "stationery" given as a gift by Flourish and Blotts.

The three essential homework items for Hogwarts, huh?

All I can say is that the manager of Flourish and Blotts is thoughtful, worried that the little wizards going to school won't have anything to do their homework with.
