Hogwarts: Why do you call me the Demon King?

Dumbledore took the organized textbooks and gifts from the manager and then spoke to Isaac.

"Flourish Blotts is one of the largest bookstores in Diagon Alley, and they have a very extensive collection of books."

Even if you need to find some hard-to-find books, you can ask them to find them for you.

As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, the manager immediately chimed in, "Yes, we don't charge extra for helping clients find books."

All you need to do is pay us a small fee for our help.

After time-traveling, Isaac actually felt the difference between England and his hometown from his previous life.

Here, books are a true "luxury".

In the magical world, books are knowledge, and knowledge is power—not in an abstract sense or on a spiritual level.

In the magical world, knowledge is power in the truest sense.

Dumbledore is arguably one of the most knowledgeable people in the wizarding world, and he is also one of the most powerful.

Therefore, Flourish and Blotts' practice of offering clearly marked prices to help find books and works is quite generous.

Some books are so expensive that you can't even buy them at the original price, let alone at an inflated price.

Isaac nodded and solemnly accepted the contact information handed to him by the manager of Flourish and Blotts.

Hogwarts certainly has a large collection of books, but who can guarantee that among them are the books Isaac needs?

With his prophetic talent, Isaac could predict the whereabouts of a book he needed, especially if it wasn't available in the Hogwarts library.

Then I asked the manager of Flourish Bookstore to contact the other party.

Leave professional matters to professionals; you only need to pay a small fee to have such a professional wizard serve you.

Isaac knew very well that this was a special favor given by the bookstore manager out of respect for Dumbledore.

You see, in the magical world where knowledge equals power, Flourish and Blotts, which sells books, is no different from gun shops and arms dealers in Muggle society.

"Would you like to see if there are any books in the store that interest you?" Dumbledore asked Isaac.

"No, thank you very much, Professor Dumbledore. However, I don't have any books that I'm particularly interested in at the moment."

Isaac shook his head at Dumbledore; he had lied.

Having just arrived in the wizarding world and unlocked the bookstore location, how could Isaac not be interested in the other books in the bookstore?

It's worth noting that the protagonist of Harry Potter is the savior Harry, who is not exactly a studious person.

I don't really enjoy reading.

Therefore, bookstores and libraries are not very common in Harry Potter.

But in the real world, this is equivalent to a vast ocean of knowledge waiting for Isaac to absorb.

His prophetic talent helps him filter out most of the "invalid knowledge," so it's safe to say that Isaac is already eager to get his hands on Flourish and Blotts.

The beautiful Miss Knowledge was waiting for our prophet, Mr. Valdoré, to grace him with his presence, but he refrained from doing so.

Isaac could easily see that Dumbledore intended to help pay for the trip.

Isaac had no reason to refuse the principal's sponsorship.

Isaac was an orphan with no parents, and Dumbledore's willingness to lend him a helping hand was undoubtedly another benefactor.

A benefactor like Grindelwald.

Perhaps because his own Grindelwald triad was so strong, Dumbledore extended his affection to everything related to him.

But Dumbledore can extend his affection to everything related to Dumbledore, while Isaac cannot take advantage of his kindness.

Throughout history and across the world, people who know how to be grateful are praised and liked by others.

Nobody likes an ungrateful wretch who takes advantage of kindness.

Therefore, Dumbledore could offer it willingly, but Isaac couldn't be so ungrateful as to accept it casually.

Isaac was actually quite good at hiding his true feelings. Unfortunately, he was dealing with a shrewd man who had lived for over a hundred years.

Dumbledore didn't bother to ask Isaac's opinion any further, and immediately instructed the manager of Flourish and Blotts:

“I paid for all of Mr. Isaac Waldore’s purchases at Flourish and Blotts before he graduated from Hogwarts.”

Wizards naturally have their privileges, especially wizards like Dumbledore who have more power and influence; they have many privileges.

Chapter 10 Life is also an adventure

No wonder he became the bookstore manager.

Even Isaac himself didn't understand what Dumbledore was saying, but the bookstore manager next to him did.

He immediately and respectfully repeated, "Yes, Professor Dumbledore, I understand completely."

For the next seven years, all of Mr. Isaac Waldore's bills from this store will be mailed to the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts.

“Very well, thank you for your help.” Dumbledore nodded kindly to the bookstore manager.

Then, Dumbledore left Flourish and Blotts with Isaac.

Not long after leaving the bookstore, Dumbledore stopped and looked at Isaac with a puzzled expression.

As we mentioned before, very few secrets in the wizarding world can be kept from Dumbledore.

Now, Isaac has piqued Dumbledore's curiosity.

Perhaps because Isaac is a prophet, he has always been considered precocious.

Isaac wasn't a child when he transmigrated, although his behavior was somewhat juvenile due to the influence of his hormones.

But he was also a mature young man.

Dumbledore had considered that Isaac might be too proud to accept his gift.

But Isaac in front of him looked around expectantly, as if he were looking for something.

"Isaac, what are you looking for?" Dumbledore finally couldn't help but ask.

“I’m looking for the phoenix, Professor,” Isaac replied earnestly.

Dumbledore: "???"

This time, he was truly stumped. Young people these days think too fast; this old man simply couldn't keep up.

He didn't take the phoenix with him when he went out. Where could Isaac find one?

“I am looking for my phoenix,” Isaac said to Dumbledore in a serious tone.

"Isn't it said that when the Dumbledore family needs help, a phoenix will appear to help them?"

I think I really need help right now.

I also think the name Isaac Dumbledore sounds pretty good.

Dumbledore had lost count of how many times Isaac had made him laugh.

In a way, his coming to pick up Isaac for school was the complete opposite of how he picked up Tom for school years ago.

The more serious he was when picking up Tom back then, the more joyful he is now when picking up Isaac.

Is it because there is a fundamental difference between Tom and Isaac?

It's possible. As the greatest wizard of modern times, Dumbledore certainly wouldn't be so superficial as to judge solely by appearances.

However, in Isaac, these three elements definitely account for a very large proportion.

To reiterate, if you, Tom Riddle, had heterochromatic eyes or platinum blonde hair, you wouldn't need both.

If only one of the two conditions were met, Dumbledore might not have had that attitude back then.

Humans are bound to have their own emotional tendencies, and even Dumbledore, the greatest wizard of modern times, is no exception.

“No, Isaac. Compared to Dumbledore, I think…” Dumbledore was about to say the last name with a smile.

He stopped talking after only uttering one syllable.

Then he looked at Isaac seriously: "Kid, don't try to be the next Grindelwald, and don't try to be the next Dumbledore."

Follow your heart; life itself is a great adventure, and the unknown is always the best challenge.

Next, Dumbledore took Isaac to Madam Malkin's Robes Shop, Partridge's Cauldron Shop, and Potions Shop to buy the things he needed for school.

He also stated that he, Dumbledore, would pay all of Isaac Waldore's bills for the next seven years.

Then they went to the Ee-la-Owl Shop and bought Isaac a strong, stamina-rich, and gentle owl.

Isaac named the owl "Cuckoo".

How did this name come about?

When you mention Harry Potter, you can't help but think of Harry Potter, and when you mention Harry himself, you think of Voldemort without a nose.

When Voldemort is mentioned, his real name Tom comes to mind. And since Tom is mentioned, Jerry naturally comes to mind as well.

Kuku is the name of the little yellow bird in "Tom and Jerry," which Isaac happens to remember.

So his owl was named Kuku, and in Tom and Jerry, Kuku is also someone who can outwit Tom.

Does Tom who can use magic not count as Tom?
