Chapter 370 What Are You Worried About?

Dumbledore was also very surprised after hearing Nick's explanation.

Although he was surprised by the extent of damage to the time turner when he saw it, he did not expect that Ivan had the ability to affect the operation of the time turner.

But soon, Dumbledore recovered from his surprise and said to Nick.

"His name is Ivan Hals, a little wizard who has just entered the third grade. I think you should have some memories of this name!"

"Hals? Is he the one who protected the Sorcerer's Stone last time?" Nick Flamel pondered for a while and then thought of who Dumbledore was talking about, and immediately had a good impression of Ivan.

"Yes!" Dumbledore nodded.

"That's a coincidence. I often saw him in the Daily Prophet when I was reading newspapers," Nick Flamel said with a smile.

Dumbledore noticed that there were many newspapers on the table nearby, and the top few articles were about Ivan. Then he remembered that Nick had always had the habit of reading every issue of the newspaper.

"I remember that he should be a potion genius. Does he also know some alchemy?" Nick Flamel was a little confused. It is not easy to influence the operation of the time turner. It requires extremely high alchemy skills.

"I'm afraid he is an extremely rare all-rounder. He has made some very useful magic props in the past two years. I heard that many of them have been purchased by the Ministry of Magic." Dumbledore said with praise.

"That's really an interesting little wizard." Nick Flamel laughed. Even in his long career, he had never seen anyone as outstanding as Ivan at the age of twelve or thirteen.

This made Nick Flamel become interested in this little wizard he had never met.

"Albus, since you are very familiar with Hals, what do you think of his character?" Nick Flamel suddenly asked.

"What? Are you interested in taking on another student?" Dumbledore laughed.

"Then you have to see if it's suitable. I won't be able to benefit from my wealth when the time comes." Nick Flamel curled his lips.

After living for more than six hundred years, Nick Flamel has seen through many things. Therefore, he originally planned to donate all his book collections to the three major magic schools in Europe after his death, leaving only this house and some memorable alchemical items to be buried with him.

After all, none of the students he accepted in his early years could survive him, so he could truly be said to have no worries.

But the appearance of Ivan made Nick Flamel rekindle his interest in recruiting disciples. He felt that this might be fate, otherwise it would not be such a coincidence.

"Hals? It's hard to say." Dumbledore pondered for a while, frowned, and did not give a clear response.

"Oh, can't you figure it out? Are you embarrassed?" Nick Flamel was very surprised. No matter how talented Ivan Hals is, he is only a twelve or thirteen-year-old wizard.

"He is a very complicated little wizard. Please forgive me for using these words on a child!" Dumbledore said, with a hint of memory on his face.

Dumbledore did not directly tell Nick Flamel his views. Instead, he tried his best to explain to Nick Flamel what Ivan had done in recent years from the perspective of a bystander, allowing Nick to make his own judgment.

Among all the students he has taught, Ivan is undoubtedly the most special one. He saw many beautiful qualities in Ivan, such as bravery, intelligence, loyalty to friends, and the ability to resist temptation (returning the Elder Wand) etc.

But at the same time, he also knew that Ivan was eager to pursue improvement in strength, even risking his life for it. He was also very good at lying and concealing, and he didn't care about the rules of the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts.

After finishing speaking, Dumbledore looked at Nick Flamey quietly, looking forward to his evaluation.

"It's wonderful!" Nick LeMay clapped his hands and couldn't help asking.

"Albus, are you sure you are telling what really happened and not some fairy tale you heard somewhere?"

It was hard for Nick Flamel to imagine that the little wizard named Ivan Hals had such a magical experience! Fighting trolls, flying on dragons, facing and defeating mysterious men twice, seeing through and driving away two Defense Against the Dark Arts professors, this experience is truly legendary!

"It seems I'm lucky!" Nick LeMay said with emotion.

Dumbledore smiled bitterly. He felt that Nick Flamel was too optimistic. In his opinion, Ivan was a little wizard who could easily go astray without guidance.

It is precisely because Ivan is so outstanding that he needs to be vigilant and pay attention to guide him in the right direction.

"Can you imagine, Nick? After an eleven-year-old child defeated the legendary Dark Lord, his first reaction was to hide himself as much as possible, trying to pass this honor off to his friends, and what else could he think about it? Make it up to fool me.”

Thinking of the conversation between him and Ivan at the end of the first grade, Dumbledore felt a little headache. He couldn't figure out what the other person was thinking. He had never felt this way when facing Tom when he was young.

"You just feel uneasy because Hals's growth is beyond your control!" Nick Flamel said indifferently, not caring about Dumbledore's previous words, and then continued.

"Then let me ask you, does Hals hate Muggles? Want to kill them all?"

"No! He has no ill feelings toward Muggles and has a close relationship with a child born into a Muggle family." Dumbledore shook his head.

"Or is he arrogant, vicious, arrogant, and obsessed with the study of black magic?" Nick asked word for word.

"Not really!" Dumbledore shook his head again.

"Then what are you still worried about?" Nick Flamel asked in confusion, "You can't impose your standards on him, Albus! Not everyone is a saint, a capable little wizard Isn’t it normal to have your own ideas?

So what if he wanted to do something? There's nothing wrong with having someone else be the Minister of Magic! It’s better than some incompetent idiot coming to power.”

Nick Flamel didn't care about the small shortcomings of Ivan that Dumbledore said. Compared with Ivan's outstanding abilities, these can all be ignored.

Moreover, in his impression, among those extremely talented and stunning people, none of them kept to themselves, and it was perfectly normal for them to want to cause trouble.

The process of the world is also driven by these people

"Or do you see your own reflection in him, and that's why you've always been worried about him?" Nick Flamel suddenly realized something, looked at Dumbledore and asked.
