Chapter 7: What Trouble Could a Little Wizard Possibly Cause?

<Evening >

<Corridor outside the Great Hall, Hogwarts Castle>

Dumbledore was caught off guard.

"Headmaster, I've been looking for you all day. I think we need to have a serious conversation!"

"You know what I'm going to talk about."

"About that child..."

"I have no idea what made you approve his admission."

Snape's expression was so dark it seemed he could hear water dripping.

"This is... the year for enrollment, and you let a demon into the school?"

"To make your ridiculous savior training plan more complete?"

He started roaming Knockturn Alley at the age of six. He has at least 300 deaths on his hands.

What does that even mean?

One could say that over the past few years, the dark wizards in Knockturn Alley have almost been completely wiped out and replaced.

He couldn't imagine what would happen if such a person came to Hogwarts.

"Oh, Severus, calm down."

"Those are just rumors. Believe me, the child isn't as bad as you think."

Dumbledore shrugged with a smile on his face.

"Not as bad as I think? He's been to Azkaban three times."

"But that was due to the Ministry's illegal actions, wasn't it? They had no evidence."

"I personally still believe that everyone has good in their heart."

"As teachers, we need to guide them properly."

"Goodness? Hah!" Snape's gaze remained dark.

"Have you seen a picture of him? He looks just like a young..."

"Of course, and precisely because I've seen the picture, I firmly believe that his two pets are quite special."

"One of them gives off a feeling…"

"How should I put it, like the warmth of the sun."

"The fact that he has such companions speaks volumes, doesn't it?"

"As for his resemblance to that person—"

"The pure-blood families in the wizarding world are all interrelated. It's nothing noteworthy. If you look closely, you'll see it's only about a thirty percent resemblance."

"And his name appeared in the Book of Admittance, you know, that's a rule Hogwarts has followed for countless years."

"Even as headmaster, I can't prevent his admission."

Magical creatures are known for their intelligence.

Just like the phoenix of the Dumbledore family, not every family member is recognized by the phoenix.

Only those with a kind heart and strong magical power are.

That's why Dumbledore is certain that Kael has a good side to his character.

"But rest assured, I will keep a close watch on him."

"But—"

"No buts, Severus. I am the headmaster…" Dumbledore adjusted his glasses, ending the conversation.

"Hmph, you'll regret this!"

Snape, cold as ever, left with a swirl of his cloak, like a bat skimming the ground.

Regret?

Dumbledore shook his head.

He had been teaching for half his life.

If there was ever regret, it would have been during the time when Voldemort cast his shadow over the wizarding world.

But not for the reason most people think.

His regret wasn't that he hadn't stopped Voldemort before he rose to power.

It was that he hadn't guided him properly from the start.

In Dumbledore's view, Kael's talent and strength far surpassed Voldemort's.

Most importantly, his kindness was clear and evident.

What trouble could a little wizard cause under his watchful eyes?

…

Hogwarts Platform

Hagrid, holding a lantern, stood there like a wall.

Welcoming new students was a task he repeated every year.

Year after year.

By now, he was quite familiar with it.

There was nothing difficult about it for him.

Soon, the sound of the train roaring could be heard from a distance.

Faintly, a black dragon-like train could be seen on the tracks.

It was the Hogwarts Express.

Hagrid adjusted his expression and raised his lantern.

As a half-giant, he craved acceptance from others.

For this, he even forced a smile.

But his smile froze the moment the train arrived.

Or rather…

Could that still be called a train?

No windows—fine.

But where was the roof?

Can someone tell me what happened?

The train stopped, and one by one, little wizards came out.

Unlike in previous years, when they wore black robes, this year, they were all bundled up, shivering and occasionally sniffling.

They were freezing the entire journey.

Out of ten little wizards, at least eight had colds by now.

"Alright, first-year students, first-year students, come over here!"

Hagrid cleared his throat and began his duties, calling for the first-years to come over.

They needed to take the boats to follow the path the four founders of Hogwarts had once taken to enter the castle.

This was how they formed a magical bond and gained the protection of the castle.

Usually, as soon as he called, the first-years would gather around. But this time…

"I don't want to go to Hogwarts anymore."

"Boo hoo, I want to go home!"

"Mummy, there's a giant! I don't want to fight a giant!"

The moment Hagrid finished speaking, cries and wails filled the air in front of him.

A giant?

Where's a giant?

Hagrid instinctively looked around.

After a moment…

Oh!

These first-years are being a bit rude!
