Chapter 78 - Praise

In the headmaster’s office.

Dumbledore and the four House Deans had all arrived.

At this time, Dumbledore was reading the thesis written by Coven. —-Other than Professor McGonagall, the others had just arrived after being informed by Dumbledore.

Seeing that Dumbledore was focused on reading the information, the three professors who arrived later tacitly did not make a sound, but they looked at Coven from time to time.

After all, there was only Coven in the entire office. Obviously, the reason why Dumbledore summoned everyone was related to Coven.

Coven’s thesis was read by Dumbledore for a long time. As he looked at it, he was deep in thought.

After about ten minutes, Dumbledore slowly put down the thesis in his hand, slightly raised his head, and looked at Coven through his half-moon glasses on the bridge of his nose.

After a few breaths of silence, Dumbledore said with a complicated tone, “No matter what the result is, Coven, I have to praise you for your great idea!”

“Thank you, Headmaster.” Coven was no longer as cautious and cautious as before, so there was no need to act like someone. He smiled and thanked him normally.

“Headmaster…” Professor Flitwick opened his mouth and asked in confusion, “What did Little Coven do again? Why did you call us here?”

“Ah, sorry.” Dumbledore turned to the three professors and said, “Sorry to keep you waiting, but I think you should look at Coven’s simple thesis first.”

Dumbledore stood up and handed the parchment to Snape, who was the closest to him.

Snape took the parchment and glanced at Coven. He took out his wand and pointed it at the parchment in his hand.

Snape opened his mouth slightly and silently chanted a spell. In the next moment, the parchment suddenly glowed with a golden light.

Then, the golden light on the paper began to leak into the air, gradually projecting all the words on the paper into the air.

Coven had never seen or heard of this spell, so he was very surprised. Then he looked at Snape with a greedy look… Of course, the professors did not notice Coven’s expression. They were watching the projection text in the air.

Not long after, gasps of surprise sounded one after another. Professor Flitwick even gasped after reading it.

Professor Sprout was the first to speak. She turned to look at Coven in shock and then at Headmaster Dumbledore, exclaiming in a low voice, “God! I have never thought about what little Coven said!”

Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout’s actions were the same. They first looked at Coven with admiration, then said to Dumbledore, “Indeed! I have never doubted the introduction of ‘Dementors’ in the book!”

Professor Snape was silent for a moment. He looked down again at the paper in his hand and then turned his head.

Staring at Coven, Snape’s eyes were a little complicated, and then his tone was flat as if he had ill intentions. “Since Mr. Quinn has made such a guess, why don’t we let our Mr. Quinn see Dementors? After all, if you want to confirm whether this guess is correct, you must have solid evidence.”

“Severus…” Professor McGonagall called Snape a little.

“Hmph!” Snape glanced at Coven again and commented in a flat tone, “Always like to be in the spotlight.”

“Haha… this is not something that can’t be done.” Dumbledore knew that Snape did not mean any harm, so he smiled and pushed his glasses with his hand. Then he said, “First of all, no matter what the result is, Coven’s spirit is really worthy of praise.”

“Indeed!” Professor Flitwick nodded in agreement. Then, he said impatiently, “Albus, should we go and experiment first?”

“No, no, don’t worry about it, Filius.” Dumbledore gently waved his hand. Then he looked at Coven, “Then, Coven, have you thought about how to confirm your conjecture?”

All the professors looked at Coven at the same time.

Coven was not nervous at all. After all, he was already familiar with these professors.

Nodding his head, Coven said with a little confidence, “Of course, Mr. Headmaster, I do have an idea.”

Dumbledore became interested and could not help but lean forward slightly. “Oh? Tell me about it.”

“Last year, Professor Flitwick recommended me a book.” Coven looked at Professor Flitwick, who was slightly stunned. He nodded and said, “It’s a book about ‘Emotion And Magic’.”

The professors in the office were all a small group of people at the top of the magic world. As soon as Coven said this, everyone understood Coven’s thoughts one after another.

“Genius!” Professor Flitwick doted on Coven the most, so he immediately praised her with a high-pitched voice, “Little Coven! Your idea is simply too genius!”

“Yes.” Coven nodded repeatedly and joked, “I have been praised by the professors for a year. Now I am also praised by you to believe that I am a genius.”

“Ha ha ha ha… You child…” When Professor Sprout heard this, she couldn’t help but laugh.

Professor McGonagall also pursed her lips and smiled. She looked at Coven with eyes full of praise. Only Snape showed some dislike and secretly rolled his eyes at Coven.

Dumbledore saw the four professors ‘performance and looked at Coven again. His eyes couldn’t help but show satisfaction and appreciation.

In Dumbledore’s view, even if Coven was good at acting, he could not get the approval of all the professors at the same time.

Just like when Voldemort was a student, even if he was favored by the headmaster and some professors, there were still some professors who saw the true face of Voldemort, so they distanced themselves from him and were wary of him.

And now, Coven had received the true appreciation of all the professors, including him, Dumbledore, which showed that Coven was indeed a good child.

‘As long as he maintains the correct values, then Coven would definitely become a great wizard in the future.’

A thought of having a successor emerged from Dumbledore’s heart. The more he looked at Coven, the more satisfied he felt.

Pa!

Dumbledore raised his hands and clapped. After attracting everyone’s attention, he smiled and said to Coven, “It’s another great idea! You can tell me in detail.”

“Yes, Mr. Headmaster.”

Coven did not know Dumbledore’s psychological activity and told him the manuscript that he had already prepared. “First, we need to get a ‘Dementors’.”

“You want to get a Dementors from the school?”

All the professors hesitated after hearing this. —-After all, that thing was too dangerous.

Although all the professors are confident that they can deal with ‘Dementors’ easily, they are afraid that they will be careless.

“If Dementors runs into the school by accident, I am afraid that it will be a big deal…”
