Chapter 201 Dumbledore's Considerations
The opening ceremony ended in this somewhat strange atmosphere—it has to be said that this was probably the strangest opening ceremony Royla had ever experienced.
You could say it's terrifying—you inexplicably received 5,000 Galleons—you could say it's exhilarating—your life seems to be being watched by the Rosier family—
In short, Loila didn't know whether she should be happy or sad—especially when she pursed her lips, got up from her chair, and found that Peterson and Shiloh were both looking at her.
Hmm—they don't all want to talk to me about something, do they?
No—no way—it's almost ten o'clock, and I still need to study the magic array, not to mention I now have five thousand Galleons—
"Miss Hamilton—"
"My dearest cousin————"
"can we talk?"
As expected! Hearing the different voices from the two different people on her left and right, Loila shuddered and took a few steps back.
I don't want to be this popular!
"Clatter!"
"Hmm!"
Loila groaned, clutching the back of her head—"Who is it?! Suddenly standing behind me, that's terrifying!"
"Miss Hamilton?"
"Ah—haha—" Loila pursed her lips and turned her head to look at Dumbledore, who had a big smile on his face.
"can we talk?"
'

Dumbledore's words silenced the three people present.
"Since Headmaster Dumbledore has matters to discuss, I won't disturb you any longer, cousin," Peterson spoke first, bowing slightly with a polite air. "We'll have another chance to talk, won't we?"
"Heh." Hearing his words, Hilo sneered and said nothing more, but turned and left.
Watching the two walk out of the Great Hall through different doors, glaring at each other, Royla gritted her teeth and looked at Dumbledore.
"Um—is there something wrong?" she asked with some concern, then clenched the hem of her clothes.
Could this be related to Miss Hero? I'm not—I'm not a member of the Muscats, you have to believe me, Dumbledore!
I helped you out of your troubles last semester, right? Even though I caused the trouble myself—
"Miss Hamilton is quite popular," Dumbledore said, causing Loila to cough violently.
If she weren't wearing a mask, Dumbledore would have been able to see her flushed face at a glance.
What's with all this popularity?! I still want to be like before—like a little pebble on the roadside—
"What do you think of the two new professors I've recruited for Hogwarts?"
"Uh, this—" Loila poked her fingers, unsure of what to say. "Do you want me to talk badly about others behind their backs?"
I have never spoken ill of anyone other than you!
Loila didn't really want to do such a thing—and besides, the question seemed too vague.
"Perhaps I should ask more carefully?" Dumbledore said thoughtfully, "Who do you think will become your friend first?"
That's a bit too meticulous!
Loila was taken aback by Dumbledore's rapidly progressing conversation—was he starting with such a serious question as friendship?
Then I need to think about it carefully too—actually, there's not much to think about—Roy dared not casually utter Miss H.'s surname—Rosie—it was practically a reminder to Dumbledore that this was related to Lord Grindelwald!
Moreover, Peterson even gave him five thousand Galleons!
"Peterson—Professor Peterson Hamilton." After thinking for a moment, Loila gave this answer.
"Professor Peterson Hamilton is indeed a respectable pure-blood wizard," Dumbledore said with a smile. "And quite generous, isn't he?"
Can you please stop giving me that knowing-it-all look? Aren't Gringotts bills and such private matters?
However, Dumbledore was right; his cousin was indeed very generous—although Royla didn't think he was her cousin at all—
After all, Dad has never mentioned the Hamilton family—but surely no fraudster would just hand over money to me right away?
Lord Grindelwald has never seen such a trick before.
Thinking of this, Loila pursed her lips and asked, "That—that Dumbledore—do you know the Hamilton family?"
Dumbledore raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, and then said, "Of course I know."
"But which one are you asking about?"
"What I mean is—yes—" Loila composed herself before asking, "He really is mine—"
"My cousin?"
Dumbledore laughed again upon hearing this, his white beard trembling with each laugh, and his deep eyes filled with helplessness.
Facing Royla's increasingly puffed-up face, Dumbledore slowly said, "Of course."
"Whether we look at the Hamilton family genealogy or your own genealogy, Miss Hamilton."
"Peterson Hamilton is indeed your cousin."
Is it really true?!
Loila looked at Dumbledore with some shock, beginning to wonder if he was lying to her.
It's not that Loila couldn't accept suddenly having a family—it's that in the past few decades of her life, she had never known she had such a family.
They're even quite wealthy!
Dad has never mentioned it even once—has he forgotten?
Loila was a little confused—but anyway, it seemed like good news.
Not only have I gained friends, but I've even started to have family?
Although I am fairly familiar with Peterson, since we are family, we will eventually become friends, right?
Friends are a more advanced form of family!
Seeing Loyla immersed in her beautiful fantasy, Dumbledore didn't say anything more about it, but gently shook his head and changed the subject.
"How's your preparation for your first lesson going?"
"Ahem—" When Dumbledore asked her that, Royla coughed and nodded: "It's—it's alright."
It should be alright, right?
Loila wasn't entirely sure—although she had carefully considered how to teach for about a summer vacation—she was still very nervous when the time came.
After all, I'm going to be giving the lecture myself this time. This page is terrifying!
"Is it alright?" Dumbledore seemed quite pleased. "May I sit in on the conversation?"
"You know, I've always been very interested in magic arrays."
Loila's face turned pale upon hearing this.
Ugh! Then just kill me!
