Chapter 36 - Chapter 36 Strange Things

"Agarth, this child is named Agarth Ward Lindgel."

Dumbledore silenced Agarth by covering his mouth and calmly changed his name.

Upon hearing the name, Agarth felt that it sounded strangely familiar.

Ward Lindgel? Grindelwald!

'Good heavens, this isn't the name that I used as an excuse a few years ago. How did Dumbledore know it?'

'Even though I'm in England, I'm avoiding him.'

"Agarth, the child I just found, will be starting school this year."

Upon hearing Dumbledore's introduction, Arthur and Molly were both stunned for a moment.

Agarth looked to be about the same age as their own Percy, so how could he be so tall at eleven?

But they were both so much younger than Professor Dumbledore. When they were studying at Hogwarts, Dumbledore was already a headmaster. How could their child be so young?

'Besides, I've never heard of Professor Dumbledore getting married.'

Molly snapped out of her daze and initially wanted to hug Agarth to show affection, but then she noticed that Agarth was about the same height as Percy, so she paused and reached out to touch Agarth's hair.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Agarth," Molly said, then introduced the twins to Agarth.

"Hey, I'm George Weasley." The redhead to Agarth's left patted Agarth on the shoulder, after all, Agarth was quite tall for his age.

"I'm Fred Weasley, Agarth. What have you been eating to grow so tall?" The other red-haired boy on the right gave Agarth's shoulder a rude squeeze and then compared his height to Agarth's.

"Ron Weasley," Ron whispered, having been hiding behind Molly the whole time.

"I don't know, does drinking milk every day count?" Agarth shrugged and shook off the brothers' attempts to get close.

Don't think you didn't see it, these two people somehow sprinkled something on themselves.

But, well, the invisible Protego is a good thing, the powder bounced back into their palms.

"Professor Dumbledore, are you going to Agarth to buy school supplies?" Arthur asked.

"Yes, but I just received another letter from Minerva. You know Minerva's personality."

Dumbledore shook the letter that had just been delivered to him with a troubled expression.

'It seems that Minerva is really angry, this is the third letter delivered today.'

"I originally planned to accompany Agarth after shopping, but now I have to rush back to school."

"If you don't mind, Agarth can come to The Burrow before school starts, so he can play with the boys." Arthur shuddered, thinking of Professor McGonagall's temper when he was a student.

"Of course I don't mind, then I'll have to leave Agarth in your care with Molly." Dumbledore pulled out another bag, which made a crisp sound, and handed it to the couple.

However, the Weasleys refused to accept it.

"Molly, you have to accept it, because Agarth eats a lot, and if I give him the money, I'm afraid this bag of money won't last until the day after tomorrow."

Dumbledore had witnessed Agarth's appetite firsthand, and it was even more impossible for the Weasleys, whose family was not well-off to begin with, to bear such a burden.

Moreover, he had originally intended for Agarth to come into contact with the Weasley family.

Only after hearing Professor Dumbledore's words did Arthur signal to his wife to accept the bag of money.

However, Arthur didn't believe Dumbledore at all that Agarth could eat a lot of this.

Because Agarth looks tall, but she's as thin as a bamboo pole. No matter how much he eats, can he eat more than her husband and her older sons? Although Percy is about the same height as Agarth, he's two years older than Agarth, and he doesn't seem to eat much more.

"Agarth, we haven't had time to keep an eye on you lately. When you're visiting Arthur's house, behave yourself, okay?" Dumbledore's tone became threatening as he finished speaking.

"Agarth understands, Agarth will do as you say, Agarth is a good boy." Agarth's eyes lit up when he heard that he was going to visit The Burrow.

He and Dumbledore had been so bored during their stay in England.

'Gellert has been out of sight for the past few days, so I can only go back to England with Albus.'

After Dumbledore brought Agarth back to Godric's Hollow, he visited several old friends' homes. Little did he know that every time he took Agarth to a house, the backyard would turn into a battlefield.

Small insects and animals that are rarely seen usually swarmed onto Agarth.

Add to that Agarth's strange ability to communicate with animals, and Dumbledore wouldn't believe the boy wasn't deliberately causing trouble.

"I hope you keep your word and don't do what you did before, understand?" Dumbledore wasn't entirely convinced of Agarth's obedient demeanor and added another word of advice.

Then, with extremely swift movements, he removed the ring from Agarth's hand.

"Given your previous behavior, this ring is confiscated."

Dumbledore, without waiting for Agarth's response, Apparated away.

A smile flickered in Agarth's eyes, he showed no surprise at Dumbledore's actions.

Before leaving home today, Dumbledore looked at his right hand more than once. Fortunately, he liked to have a backup plan.

Thinking this, Agarth touched the bracelet on his left wrist with his right hand.

"Be prepared for both possibilities" means that we should be prepared with both hands! Eastern culture is profound and has a long history.

Westerners are indeed easy to fool.

"Agarth, don't worry, you'll see Professor Dumbledore in a few days. Now, let's go get your clothes made." Molly thought Agarth was reluctant to part with Dumbledore and gently comforted her.

Agarth smiled and nodded, but his eyes glanced at George and Fred, who were scratching their hands beside him.

'It turns out it was itching powder.'

The items sold in a newly opened shop in the wizarding world called "Strange and Weird".

'However, it's probably useless to try and prank me by buying things I developed myself.'

Agarth, with an innocent smile, strode into Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions, his tall frame encircling the two brothers on either side.

When we were talking, there were far fewer people in the shop, and it was just then that Agarth and his group went in.

"Mrs. Malkin, I need to ask you to make a few sets of school uniforms for my three children."

Molly followed behind the three and pointed to the three red-haired boys standing side by side.

Indeed, if Molly hadn't introduced her, with Agarth's red hair and striking appearance, most people would probably have assumed he was a member of the Weasley family.

After all, everyone knows the Weasleys's signature red hair.
