Chapter 94 The Influence Behind the Letter of Guarantee
Dumbledore's expression was slightly tense. He knew Snape and knew that he would never exaggerate, which meant that the information on the yellow paper was indeed not simple.
"Can I take a look?" Professor McGonagall came over and asked, "I'm curious about what's written on it?"
Professor Snape glanced at Aaron and saw that he had no objection, so he handed the yellow paper over.
Professor McGonagall took a closer look after receiving it, and her expression changed from relaxed to serious. But then she was puzzled. "Why didn't you take it out earlier?"
Aaron spread his hands and stroked the young dragon in his arms helplessly. "Professor Snape once told me a truth. Family resources and personal resources should be separated.
Although this truth is not applicable to me, I don't want to rely too much on my family in the process of growing up.
The reason is simple. It's too smooth. There is no challenge in doing anything.
That's why I came to Hogwarts instead of other magic schools."
"Since your family has prepared this guarantee letter, then..."
"Professor, it is not necessary to use it. You should know this.
Abe is a unique creature in the magic world. It is conceivable how much sensation it will cause if its identity is exposed.
The Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures will come to talk to me. Countless people obsessed with magical creatures, such as Ruth They will flock to Bo Hagrid, the forest guard.
In addition, a large number of reporters will come to the door like sharks smelling blood. An unknown magical animal with extraordinary appearance and durability will greatly increase the sales of newspapers.
Of course, these are troublesome, but they are not a problem.
But who can guarantee that there will be no greedy people who want to make money from it?
So I want to keep it secret as much as possible, also to ensure safety. "
Professor McGonagall pursed her lips, silently weighed Abe's value in her heart, and said with a sigh: "You are right."
"Thank you for your understanding, professor."
Professor McGonagall put the yellow paper on Dumbledore's desk, "Principal, you'd better take a closer look.
Although it is unbelievable, I think the effectiveness of this letter of guarantee can be said to be quite large."
Dumbledore nodded, put on the glasses on the table, and read it carefully.
One page of paper, dozens of names.
But Dumbledore looked at it for a full five minutes, but his heart was completely opposite to his appearance, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
He was very old and knew more than McGonagall and Snape. He knew almost all the names on it.
The former ministers of the Ministry of Magic, who were still popular, signed on it, the leader of the Merlin Knights signed on it, and several elders of the Magic Parliament also signed on it.
These people are very famous, and Dumbledore can treat any of them with courtesy. Together, they are enough to make a revolution in the magic world.
Not only that, there are also the names of his old friends Nicolas Flamel and his wife, and the signatures of several well-known wizards who are over a hundred years old and have made achievements in various industries.
In other words, he has the strength to show off, otherwise Dumbledore would not even be qualified to be ranked in terms of seniority in front of these people.
More importantly, there is also the mark of a vampire royal family and the symbol of the leader of a werewolf tribe on it.
Is this still a guarantee? Maybe.
But in Dumbledore's opinion, this is more like the influence of the hidden family, the bigwigs from both the black and white worlds are all gathered together!
In the past, he thought that these families were at most a little stronger than the pure-blood families, and they were worth paying attention to, but not worth taking too seriously.
After all, they are all families with a long history, and no matter how big the gap is, it is still the same.
Of course, Malfoy and Weasley are the exceptions. These are two extremes, one is rich and the other is poor and can only solve the problem of food and clothing.
But now he found that he was wrong, and he was wrong in a very outrageous way.
The influence of the hidden family exceeded his imagination. Aaron was not the head of the family, but he could come up with such a list.
It is conceivable that their network of contacts is much larger than the ones on the list, and this is just Gaius's family.
If the other three families are the same, then it is no exaggeration to say that these four families can change the whole magic world at any time as long as they unite.
Voldemort needs to struggle, manpower, resources, and strategies to rule the magic world.
But it seems very simple for them to do it, just raise their arms and call.
Dumbledore had a drop of cold sweat on his forehead. He couldn't remember the last time he was nervous, but he was sure that he hadn't been this nervous the last time.
Before, he thought Aaron was a Slytherin worth paying attention to, similar to Voldemort in the past, but now he had to re-evaluate Aaron's value and influence.
If this child is not guided well, if he brings his hidden family back to the mountains in the future, the magic world will probably usher in a major reshuffle.
"Professor, have you finished reading?"
Aaron suddenly said, pulling Dumbledore's thoughts back to reality.
"I've read it." Dumbledore smiled and handed the yellow paper back, "No problem, no problem at all.
You can continue to support Abe, but try to keep a low profile!
But I really didn't expect your family to know so many people. It almost scared an old man like me."
"This is all about human relationships." Aaron said with emotion, "These are all friends of my elders, and they have nothing to do with me."
"Professor, with this letter of guarantee, my fault should be gone!"
"Of course." Dumbledore nodded, "Maybe I have to congratulate you in advance, and congratulate Slytherin for winning this year's college cup."
"Thank you, I'll leave first if I'm fine."
Aaron didn't want to pay attention to Dumbledore, and walked out the door on his own.
Snape looked at Dumbledore with a complicated look, hesitated for a moment, and followed Aaron out.
A few minutes later, Aaron looked at Snape speechlessly, "Professor, you don't have to see me off.
You've been seeing me off for so long, we're almost at the common room."
"As the dean, it should be okay for me to talk to my students!" Snape said lightly, "Although this is not my obligation and has nothing to do with me.
But I still think it's necessary to remind you that it's always good to keep a hand for yourself no matter when and where."
Aaron stopped and said playfully, "Do you mean I shouldn't take out my letter of guarantee?"
Snape didn't refute, but nodded seriously.
"You are a smart person, you should know what that guarantee means
You can wait until next semester to prepare a formal dragon-raising license for yourself, approved by the Ministry of Magic, the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. This should not be a difficult task for you.
Now there are only a few days left before the holiday, you don't have to take it out, but it seems a little not worth it just for the College Cup."
"Of course the College Cup is not worth it, but the task reward is worth it, which is enough for him to work less for two months." Aaron thought to himself, but his face remained calm.
"Professor, I admit that what you said makes sense.
But the guarantee was originally intended to be used at this time, and it will keep some people secret.
In addition, I don't want to report to Abe at the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures.
That will make it appear in the sight of the Ministry of Magic, and those politicians can do anything.
In order to enhance their reputation, they will not mind making a big fuss about the emergence of a new species, and the commotion led by the Ministry of Magic will definitely not be small."
Snape:......
"Besides, the College Cup must not be given up.
That is Slytherin's first year 's hard work. "Aaron said righteously, "If we slack off in normal times, we lose, and we have nothing to say.
But if for some reason, the score is adjusted drastically and Slytherin loses the honor they deserve, I believe many people will not accept it.
Moreover, it is only a few days before the holiday, and Gryffindor's score suddenly topped the list. This is simply messing with Slytherin's mentality, which will make the two already contradictory colleges even more contradictory.
Protecting the deserved college cup is also for the stability of Hogwarts. "
Snape was stunned when he heard this.
Aaron's words made sense. The thinking of this twelve-year-old student was not ordinary mature, and he considered the problem very comprehensively, but he always felt that something was wrong.
It was as if everything was calculated by Aaron, and others were unconsciously carrying out his plan. This feeling of being led by the nose was really bad.
"Perhaps you think a little more than me, the dean, but I still stick to my point of view."
"Of course I understand this." Aaron smiled, "There must be a trump card, such as the resurrection potion in my hand.
The letter of guarantee may be very influential in your eyes. You may think that it is the connection of the Gaius family, and you will associate it with many things you want to think about, which is somewhat exaggerated."
"What do you mean?" Snape asked in confusion.
"Because in my opinion it is just a piece of paper, the kind that a Knut can buy a stack of," Aaron said indifferently, "You can't eat it, you can't drink it, you can't improve your strength, you can't exchange it for any money, you have no value, you can only bluff people or something."
"Heh!" Snape laughed at himself, and the whole person was much more relaxed, "I thought too much, you will definitely be the pride of Slytherin in the future."
