Chapter 5 Oath
"Teach me, is it the place of the last job?" Doug asked again.
"No, to be precise, it's to give you the power to protect yourself. Calculate the time, you still have four years of admission. I studied with Dumbledore for the past four years. When you get to Hogwarts, you can practice in the room where you have to do whatever you want. Read more forbidden books, and you can always protect yourself. Of course, if you can't keep it, I don't care. I tried my best."
"I see." Doug sighed and lowered his head to play with the turquoise wand in his hand, with a stomachache in his mind.
Time passed minute by minute, boring days passed for a long time, and Doug was used to it. On the contrary, Mrs. Mary seemed to be a little impatient to wait, so she could only bang. There was a sound of firecrackers on the other side of the fireplace, and the smoke dispersed. The white-bearded old man in a wizard's robe came into Doug's sight. The old man is the president of Hogwarts, the first-class Merlin medal winner, the founder and secret agent of the Order of the Phoenix, the ZHU seat of the International Wizards Association, the chief wizard of Weisegame and other titles - Allus Dumbledore.
Doug's eyes fell on Dumbledore and carefully looked at the old man who had only seen in movies and books in his previous life. Doug did not feel the wisdom and kindness in the novel from Dumbledore. Give him the feeling of only two words - "ordinary". An ordinary old man has a slightly longer beard at most. Other than that, there is no other feeling.
Mrs. Mary stood up and glanced at Doug, who also stood up. A standard nobleman's salute was made to Dumbledore: "Professor Dumbledore, welcome."
Dumbledore looked at Mrs. Mary with complicated eyes. He couldn't say the comforting words even if he wanted to. He could only say, "I haven't seen you for a long time."
Mrs. Mary's expression did not change much. She maintained respect and said, "Professor Dumbledore, this is the successor we Rozier selected - Doug Rozier, and asked Professor Dumbledore to teach me more." After saying that, he dragged Doug out of his side and pushed him to Dumbledore's side. The corners of Doug's mouth couldn't help twitching. How anxious are you...
Professor Dumbledore nodded and smiled at Doug: "Hello, kid."
"Hello, Professor Dumbledore."
"Well, let's get into the vow stage quickly." Mrs. Mary's tone was full of eagerness.
Dumbledore and Doug looked at each other. Doug's eyes were full of calmness. He knew that this was his obligation.
"Son, do you know what this means?" Dumbledore looked at Doug carefully and asked.
"Professor!!" Mrs. Mary's voice suddenly raised eight decibels: "Are you talking too much! Or do you want to deprive Rozier of his last hope!"
"Mary, we all know what this means. Something will happen to this child. You can't get rid of your responsibility in order...
"Enough!" Mrs. Mary planned Dumbledore in an extremely harsh tone: "Who do you think Rozier has come to this point? You had the ability to stop it, why did you go back to be the principal? The head of the Ministry of Magic let such a straw bag take the stage. Who is to blame for this? What, now when Rozier finds his heir. You jumped out to stop it again. Don't you think your kindness is very cheap! If you really want to do it, go and find all 30 people from Rozier!"
Looking at Mrs. Mary's hysterical appearance, Doug couldn't help rolling his eyes. This woman really proves one sentence - a gentleman can bully him. Old Deng was kind and made up the majority, and he was thrown down by Mary. It's really hard to say, which will make him very entangled.
"Professor, I know what it means. You don't have to worry about it." Doug said next to him. After all, whether the old man is the blackening series written in the novel or not, he will follow up by his own tutor. Resolving the tutor is a necessary quality as a disciple.
"Then make a vow quickly!" Mrs. Mary no longer gives Dumbledore a chance to speak, which is also a helpless move. After all, if Dumbledore doesn't want Doug to take on these responsibilities, he can still do it. Mrs. Mary stretched out her right hand directly, grabbed Doug's left hand, the palm of his right hand, and grabbed Doug's arm.
"Like me, grab my arm." Mrs. Mary looked at Doug and said.
After Doug did so, Mrs. Mary looked at Dumbledore again. Dumbledore sighed, pulled out his wand, and nodded between their arms. Mrs. Mary raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said:
"Doug Rozier, are you willing to shoulder the glory of the Rozier family and become the head of the Rozier family?"
"I will"
"Doug Rozier, would you like to inherit the estate of the Rozier family?"
"I will"
"Doug Rozier, are you willing to let the Rozier family continue and will do your best to protect the Rozier family?"
"I will"
With the question and answer of the two, the wand in Dumbledore's hand nodded on the arms they were holding each other, and Doug only felt as if he had been locked by something in the dark. This is estimated to be the power of the oath. The pain does not exist, but if something goes against the oath, it will be a big problem.
Mrs. Mary did not seem to ask Doug to do anything for the Rozier family, but inheriting the manor itself is a huge trouble. And he also has to shoulder the glory of the Rozier family, which means that Doug needs to announce to the magic world that he is the new head of the Rozier family. As a seven-year-old child, he became the patriarch and head of one of the sacred twenty-eight clans. This is not a pleasant thing.
Mrs. Mary was relieved, really showed a happy smile, and said, "Well, since the oath has been made. The next matter will be discussed by both of you. I left first."
After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving Doug and Dumbledore, one old and one young, staring at each other.
"Son, hold my arm." Dumbledore didn't say anything else.
"Professor, where do you want to take me?" Doug asked, Dumbledore is different from Mrs. Mary. Mrs. Mary left desperately, which had nothing to do with him. Doug needs to deal with what Dumbledore is going to do. At least he knows his purpose.
