"Ah?" Harry and Dumbledore, who were intensely arguing with Dobby, both looked at Snape in confusion.
"...Such a serious mistake should result in immediate expulsion, yet I only deducted points normally," Snape explained.
"It's all your fault, I lost two hundred points again!" Harry kicked the cage holding Dobby with all his might.
"Actually, esteemed Mr. Harry Potter lost four hundred points," Dobby said timidly.
"Only two hundred!" Harry said, making his expression fierce.
"Oh, poor Harry Potter, he has lost his rightful wisdom because he likes his Professor, he can't even do simple arithmetic anymore."
"Pfft!"
Kaisen awkwardly rubbed his chin: "I remembered something happy, let's continue."
Dumbledore finally walked over and patted Harry's shoulder: "Dobby, why do you want Harry to leave Hogwarts?"
"Because Hogwarts is very dangerous now, you can't imagine what has entered Hogwarts."
"We know, isn't it that Basilisk! Professor Kaisen's glasses can resist the Basilisk's attack, you foolish… House-elf!" Harry pointed to the glasses on his nose and said.
"No, it's not the Basilisk, it's something even more terrifying," Dobby shrieked.
"What is this more terrifying thing?" Dumbledore asked.
"No… I… I cannot say," Dobby said, crying and shaking his head.
"Let me guess, is it a pitch-black notebook?"
Dumbledore said faintly.
"What? How could you… No, Dobby cannot say!"
Kaisen and Snape, who were slacking off on the glass steps, exchanged glances.
"It should be Lord Voldemort's Horcrux, I didn't expect the House of Malfoy to still have something like that," Kaisen whispered.
"During the Dark Lord's peak, the House of Malfoy was almost inseparable from the Dark Lord, one could say they were intimately close, so it's understandable that the Dark Lord's Horcrux is hidden in the House of Malfoy," Snape explained.
"But shouldn't these Horcruxes all help the Horcrux revive? Why did the House of Malfoy choose to send the Horcrux directly to Hogwarts? Isn't that pushing the Horcrux into a fire pit?"
"If it weren't for your Alchemy glasses, Hogwarts would have been pushed into the fire pit," Snape said succinctly.
"Hmm… I'll take that as a compliment," Kaisen said.
On the other side, Dumbledore's azure eyes stared at Dobby for a long time before finally giving up.
"Kaisen, let him go."
"Aren't you going to ask anymore?"
"Perhaps it's the House of Malfoy's conspiracy!" Harry's voice almost drowned out Kaisen's for a moment, clearly, he had a strong opinion of Dobby.
"Perhaps the House of Malfoy has a conspiracy, but it has nothing to do with Dobby, and we already know pretty much everything we need to know," Dumbledore explained.
"Alright." He walked over, took the ender pearl from the infusion altar, and lightly touched it with his hand.
"You can go," he said.
"Thank you," Dobby politely said thank you, snapped his fingers, and disappeared.
"You can leave, Harry," Dumbledore said.
Harry, however, looked at the office door far away.
"Uh…" He looked at Kaisen, then at Dumbledore, but fortunately, his subtle gaze also caught Snape, and he finally decided to just walk.
"An interesting little thing, can it also prevent House-elves from Apparition?" Dumbledore said, looking at the ender pearl Kaisen was playing with in his hand.
"The infusion time isn't enough, otherwise it could also prevent a Phoenix."
Kaisen said, then tapped the ender pearl again, and instantly it emitted a purple glow, confining the surrounding space.
Then a ball of flame ignited in his hand, burning the ender pearl to ashes.
"Hmm?" Dumbledore didn't understand.
"The infusion time isn't enough, but if I work hard, I can still make it prevent a Phoenix's teleportation," Kaisen explained.
"....You're not trying to stop me, are you?" Dumbledore suddenly said out of the blue.
"Hmm… How could that be? You are my Principal, how could I use any of my tricks on you? Don't worry, no, no."
Kaisen's forehead, for some reason, suddenly broke out in cold sweat.
"That's best," Dumbledore nodded.
"What about the House of Malfoy?" Snape, sitting on the glass steps, asked.
"Let them be. If it weren't for them, we wouldn't know the secret of how Tom could be resurrected even now," Dumbledore waved his hand.
"...Hmm, that's fine," Snape nodded, transforming into a black mist and flying towards the office door.
"I'm leaving too, oh, and Kaisen, the Great Hall has beef ribs for lunch today, you might like them," Dumbledore said, then apparated away.
"Hmm… Beef ribs… I'll get some, I'll get some."
Kaisen said, then apparated to the Great Hall three times.
.......
After a long time, Kaisen returned to the office. As he pushed open the door, he happened to see Harry who was just opening the door.
"Hmm? Did you sneak in again?" he asked.
Harry was on the verge of tears: "Professor, I haven't left yet!"
Kaisen awkwardly rubbed his chin. How could he explain such a thing? He couldn't possibly say that ever since he changed his office into a large ender chest, it had become unstoppable, expanding by several square meters every night before he went to bed on average.
"...What if I add a bus to the office?"
Harry looked at Kaisen with a wry smile: "Perhaps, Professor, do you remember what you said about the bad weather on the Quidditch Pitch?"
"Hmm, I remember, what about it?"
"Perhaps next time during a Quidditch match, if the weather is bad, we might be able to play in this office," Harry mercilessly quipped.
"Of course, I'm planning to play polo in the office… It's just that there are still some vacancies now."
"Missing what? It's certainly not the field."
"Missing horses, missing balls, missing sticks… and missing people."
"Alright, Professor… I'm a bit short on rest now, really, next time I'll have to bring my flying broomstick too."
"Uh-huh… Come again next time, okay."
Harry stumbled as he walked out into the corridor, almost falling to the ground.
"Young people… just need to exercise well." Kaisen hummed a little tune and apparated directly onto the sofa, pulling out his magic manual to prepare for next week's class.
