Being at Hogwarts, something's not right with this system.

Hermione turned twelve after her birthday.

That means she can get married in four years.

Thinking about this, Lin Yu couldn't help but feel excited.

Wouldn't that make them legal then?

However, before that, Lin Yu had one more problem to solve.

So he filled his own cauldron with a large bowl of fish soup and prepared to visit Dumbledore.

Today is Sunday, and Dumbledore has a rare moment of free time.

Until Lin Yu knocked on the office door with a bowl of fish soup.

Dumbledore opened the door, saw it was him, and couldn't help but smile, saying, "I didn't expect you to still remember me. I haven't had lunch yet."

He took a deep breath, inhaling the delicious aroma of the fish soup, and his mouth watered instantly.

Lin Yu smiled as he placed the soup on the desk and also brought Dumbledore a bowl of rice.

Yes, rice is available in Europe, but they prefer bread or potatoes, and the earliest way to eat rice was not as a staple food, but in soups.

Britain, well, a culinary wasteland, those who know, know.

However, European rice is different from Chinese rice.

Lin Yu couldn't help but feel nostalgic; Northeast rice was truly delicious.

Dumbledore had already started eating, praising it as he ate.

Lin Yu smiled as he looked around the office, occasionally reaching out to tease the Phoenix Fox.

Fox gave him face and actively cooperated with his affectionate manner.

This wasn't the first time Dumbledore had seen his Fawkes so close to Lin Yu, yet he still couldn't help but exclaim, "Lin Yu, Fawkes is a phoenix; they don't easily trust others. It seems he likes you very much."

Lin Yu knew what was going on.

He is both a cultivator and a Chaos Dao Body, a unique advantage bestowed by heaven.

That's why auspicious creatures like the phoenix are willing to be close to me; being close to me is like being close to the Way of Heaven.

Actually, Fox was being a bit ingratiating.

Lin Yu, of course, wouldn't tell the truth, and casually replied, "Because I'm a good person, right?"

Dumbledore almost choked. Are you a good person?

Merlin above, good people don't exist in Gryffindor. Gryffindor is full of troublemakers, and Lin Yu is the biggest problem child among them.

I would believe you if you were Hufflepuff.

One of the symbols of Gryffindor is courage, but courage is also the easiest way to get into trouble.

"Alright, I know you have something to say, so tell me," Dumbledore said, having finished his meal. He slowly wiped the soup that had accidentally gotten on his mouth and beard, and asked Lin Yu what his purpose was.

If it were just a simple matter of bringing him soup, Lin Yu would put down the pot and leave, not wait for him to finish eating.

Lin Yu said with a smile, "As expected of you, you are indeed cunning and shrewd."

Dumbledore snorted, "Don't think I don't understand your idioms. You'd better speak properly; aren't you asking me for a favor?"

"Ahem," Lin Yu coughed lightly, stopping his antics and saying seriously, "Actually, it's like this. My identity is a bit special. That is to say, although I received an admission notice, I don't actually have a birth certificate in the UK. You can think of it as me coming here illegally."

Dumbledore put down the handkerchief in his hand, his eyes filled with a profound meaning, or perhaps a kind of inquiry.

He already knew.

As early as the day Lin Yu received his admission notice, Professor McGonagall, as the vice-principal, had spoken to Dumbledore about it.

Even Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore, who were the vice-principal and principal respectively, were unaware of Lin Yu's existence.

It was Hogwarts Castle that issued the notification to Lin Yu on its own initiative.

After all, it is a magical world, and Hogwarts has its own mission and responsibilities.

In fact, before Dumbledore, Hogwarts had been automatically recording young wizards born in Britain who possessed wizarding talent for hundreds or even thousands of years.

Then, when they turn eleven, they will receive an acceptance letter inviting them to study at Hogwarts.

These are 'rules' that even the principal cannot interfere with.

The school's faculty and staff only learned about this afterward, and all they could do was cooperate.

Therefore, Dumbledore did not interfere with Lin Yu's enrollment in school because he, as the headmaster, had no right to interfere with Hogwarts' decisions.

But what is Lin Yu trying to achieve by bringing this up now?

Lin Yu then said, "Actually, it's like this. Hermione's parents are ordinary people, and she has an ordinary identity too. Also, I just learned that people in England can marry at sixteen. So I was thinking, could you help me get an identity certificate through the Ministry of Magic? That way, I can marry her."

Dumbledore nearly vomited blood in anger. "So this is what you've been doing all this time?"

He rolled his eyes: "Even disregarding your British citizenship, as wizards, you're already adults at seventeen and can register your marriage at the Ministry of Magic."

Although Lin Yu does not have a birth certificate from the UK, he has a record at Hogwarts, which is equivalent to having a birth certificate in the wizarding world.

Who dares to disagree with Hogwarts' certification?

The entire British wizarding world is basically comprised of Hogwarts graduates.

Furthermore, the Ministry of Magic has an agreement with the United Kingdom that wizards in the magical world will not let ordinary people know about their work, let alone interfere in the affairs of ordinary people.

Conversely, the British government cannot interfere in the affairs of the Ministry of Magic.

In other words, although they both live in Britain, wizards and ordinary people are like two parallel worlds, and they do not interfere with each other.

Lin Yu could have registered his marriage with Hermione at the Ministry of Magic and lived on this side of the magical world forever.

Lin Yu said, "Although we are indeed on the magic side now, we don't want to be forever out of step with the world's trajectory. Just like I said at the opening ceremony, the technology of ordinary people that you look down on may be the future. Dumbledore, even you, how many people can you kill with your full power of magic? And how many people can an ordinary person kill with a nuclear bomb, an atomic bomb? Don't be so arrogant."

"Sooner or later, humanity will invent a more advanced network, something like magic, invisible and intangible, but capable of enabling video conversations across the world and sharing everything online."

"Not to mention anything else. Wizards cannot remain isolated from society forever. If they turn their backs on humanity, they will eventually perish. If I were to become Minister of Magic or a school principal, I would definitely find a way to reintegrate the magical world into human society. I might even try to use the Marrow Cleansing Pill to increase the number of wizards."

"How many young wizards are there this year? If this continues, how many new wizards will be produced in the future? Have you really thought about this?"

Lin Yu shook his head, sighed, and said, "Clinging to outdated ideas and working in isolation will only lead to the decline of wizardry. We should open our hearts and broaden our horizons to see the world."

Dumbledore said with a complicated expression, "I'm just giving you a suggestion, do you need to lecture me? You still want to be Minister of Magic, you still want to be Headmaster, huh? I'm not dead yet."
