Chapter 27 Meeting Dumbledore

Chapter 27 Meeting Dumbledore

"What do you mean?"

James was enraged by Snape's words and glared at Snape like an angry little lion.

"If there's nothing wrong with your brain, you should be able to tell that I'm saying there's something wrong with your brain," Snape said venomously.

James was furious at his words, and pulled out a stinky dung ball from his robe and threw it directly at Snape.

Snape was indeed James's mortal enemy for many years. As soon as he saw James's action, he knew what he was going to do and directly took out a shield for himself.

The stinky dung egg was bounced away and hit Frank Neville who was picking candies nearby.

The candy house was instantly filled with the foul smell of stinky dung, and the little wizard who was selecting candy inside was so choked that he ran out.

As the culprit, James was kicked out of the store by the angry clerk.

"It's not fair. He's already started it. Why don't they kick him out too?"

James protested unhappily.

Snape looked at him as if he were an idiot.

"Snape, do you want to look somewhere else?"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Jiang Li suggested to Snape: "Help me buy some decorations. We can put a Christmas tree at the door this year and decorate it more beautifully."

Snape didn't want to see James here, so he nodded and quickly slipped into the crowd.

James didn't catch up with the man, and he cursed with gritted teeth.

"This guy must be an evil Slytherin."

Jiang Li smiled and said nothing when he heard this, then went back to Bee Duke to pick out some candy.

The clerk had just cleaned it up and the smell was much lighter. Jiang Li started to select the candies carefully.

She went to the chocolate candy section to choose candies and saw an old man with a butterfly on his beard also choosing candies.

The other person felt her gaze, looked towards her, and winked at Jiang Li slyly.

"Child, do you like chocolate cockroaches too?" the old man asked in a friendly manner.

"I prefer lemon-flavored mint candy. Mung bean cakes are also delicious, but they are not sold here." Jiang Li said with some regret.

"It sounds delicious. I really hope I will have the chance to try the delicacies you mentioned in the future." Dumbledore said with a kind smile.

"I have planted a lot of mung beans recently, and they will be harvested soon. I can give you the mung bean cakes when the time comes."

Jiang Li liked this old man very much. She felt that his temperament was very similar to her master, the image of a wise man.

His master also loves to eat candy, because eating more candy will make him feel less bitter.

"By the way, what's your name? My name is Gardenia Malfoy, you can call me Ali." Jiang Li asked with a smile.

Dumbledore didn't expect that there was someone who didn't recognize him, and he gave Jiang Li a kind smile.

"Nice to meet you, Ali. I'm Albus Dumbledore. Maybe you can call me Albus."

Jiang Li didn’t pay much attention to the affairs of the wizarding world, and he didn’t know that the old man in front of him was the famous White Wizard.

"Have you recently immigrated here?" asked Dumbledore.

Jiang Li nodded and said, "I just came to England a year ago. I'm not familiar with the situation here. The food here is not very tasty. I asked my friend to find me a house elf, and the food has improved a lot."

Dumbledore immediately extracted a lot of useful information from her words.

This is a wizard from a well-off family, and has connections with pure-blood families.

He began to trick Jiang Li into talking in a subtle way.

Jiang Li noticed it, but he was not unhappy. After all, she said it to let the other party know.

"By the way, this is the magic crystal ball I made. If you want to find me, you can inject magic power into this crystal ball and call my name. If I am free, I will talk to you."

Jiang Li directly took out a purple crystal ball from the storage bracelet.

Made of glass, it is cheap, and at the same time it can withstand the magic circle she carved on it without exploding. Jiang Li put more than a dozen such crystal balls in her bag.

Give it to someone you like. The main purpose is to make friends.

Dumbledore took her crystal ball and looked at it carefully for a while.

"Very sophisticated alchemy, but it looks a bit like the communication crystal ball that the Malfoys have been selling recently."

"I made those. I had some collaboration with the Malfoys."

Jiang Li said with a smile, then a distressed expression appeared on his face as if he had thought of something.

"I want to optimize this crystal ball. The distance it can communicate is only fifty kilometers, but I have searched through all the books on alchemy on the market and found no information on this."

Dumbledore's wise eyes seemed to see through Jiang Li's thoughts. He smiled warmly and said, "I have a friend named Nick Flamel who is very knowledgeable about alchemy. Maybe I can recommend you to him."

Jiang Li's eyes lit up when he heard the name Nick Lemay.

"Is it really possible!!"

Jiang Li has been studying alchemy for so long that he is very familiar with the name Nick Flamel. He rubbed his hands excitedly at the thought of being able to contact him.

"Of course, he admires talented young wizards very much." Dumbledore looked at Jiang Li gently.

"Thank you so much, Dumbledore."

Jiang Li excitedly went forward and hugged Dumbledore, and said happily: "When I get back, I will ask Mia to pick the mung beans and make mung bean cakes for you."

Dumbledore was somewhat surprised by her intimate behavior. After all, in his opinion, Jiang Li should be a smart but cautious person.

Jiang Li was in a very happy mood after getting what he wanted, and he bought a lot of candies at Bee Duke.

When I was paying the bill, I received many envious looks from the little wizards.

Like her, Dumbledore also bought a lot of candy. Judging from how familiar the clerk was with him, he must be a regular customer here.

"Bibi's every-flavor beans smell like snot, that's disgusting, are you sure you want to buy this?"

Jiang Li saw a little wizard vomiting at the door after eating a vomiting bead. He showed a disgusted expression on his face and said to Dumbledore who was putting candy in his pocket, "It will taste disgusting."

“It is also an interesting experience to bravely try the unknown.”

Dumbledore recommended to Jiang Li: "Perhaps you can try this kind of candy. Some of the flavors will surprise you."

"No, I still prefer mints."

Jiang Li declined the offer. She felt that Bibi Every-Flavor Beans were more suitable for playing pranks on people and watching their reactions when they were tricked into eating the strange-tasting candies.

Dumbledore showed a regretful expression as he failed to recommend the method.

Jiang Li caught a glimpse of Snape in the crowd from the corner of his eye, but he did not come over. Instead, he walked in another direction.

Seeing this, Jiang Li quickly said to Dumbledore: "I saw my friend, I have to go find him, see you next time."

"See you next time."

Dumbledore smiled kindly and waved goodbye to her.

Jiang Li squeezed into the crowd, quickly grabbed Snape's arm, and squeezed with him to the corner where there were fewer people.

Seeing this, Snape reached out to protect her, but he was too short, so Jiang Li held him in her arms instead.

"Severus, didn't you see me just now? Why did you turn around and leave?" Jiang Li questioned.

"You shouldn't have too close contact with Dumbledore. He is a deep-minded man and will plot against you when you are unaware." Snape said in a deep voice.

In the previous life, everyone was calculated by Dumbledore, and Dumbledore even used his own life to calculate everything.

He didn't want Jiang Li to become part of Dumbledore's plan.
