I can enter Hogwarts in the end of the world - Chapter 422
c416 Reorganization of the Order of the Phoenix
Hogwarts, Headmaster’s office on the eighth floor.
Half a year later, when Ian saw Dumbledore again, he clearly felt that the principal had aged much.
This kind of aging is not a change in appearance, but a dissipation of spirit, a kind of decadence and a kind of malaise.
“Good evening, Headmaster!” Ian walked over, pulled out a chair and sat opposite Dumbledore.
“If it weren’t for Fox, I think I would be attending a lively dinner in the auditorium right now.”
“I’m sorry, Ian! I ruined your dinner.”
After saying that, Dumbledore stretched out his fingers and knocked on the table, and two steaming cups of black tea appeared on the table.
“You should have seen the news in the newspaper. I want to reorganize the Order of the Phoenix, and I came to you this time to ask you to take over the position of principal.”
It seemed that he was a little reluctant to leave. As he spoke, Dumbledore kept looking at everything around him, as if he was reminiscing and feeling emotion.
“Actually, you don’t need to be like this.” Ian broke the heavy atmosphere here, “The reorganization of the Order of the Phoenix does not conflict with the position of the principal of Hogwarts…”
“That’s not the case!” Dumbledore waved his hand to stop Ian’s next words, and then said:
“Before, the castle didn’t make a choice. Many times I had to continue to be the principal and I had to be responsible for Hogwarts. But now, everything is different. The castle has made a choice…”
Having said this, Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the teacup on the table, and carefully looked at the tea leaves floating in the cup.
During this period, Ian did not interrupt, but waited patiently.
After a long time, he sighed softly:
“Actually, no matter how much honor the outside world gives me, what I want to say is that I am an ordinary person from beginning to end. I am not as perfect as they say, and I cannot be comprehensive in many things!”
“At this point, Hogwarts must have a principal who is dedicated to his duties, not a principal who is distracted by other things…it’s too dangerous outside.”
Dumbledore’s words made Ian understand his difficulty. Indeed, the current situation is not peaceful. The 600 million active survivors are the product of the co-evolution of wolfsbane and fungi.
Especially the symbiosis of fungi gives the already powerful werewolf even more powerful self-healing abilities… Wolverine per capita, think about it.
Speed, strength, wolfsbane infection, etc., werewolves have crushed ordinary wizards in all aspects. Many adult wizards encounter werewolves in a one-on-one situation, and if they can escape with their lives intact, they are considered experienced.
Except for black magic such as the Death Curse, Fierce Fire, and Shadowless Blade, other ordinary magic really cannot give wizards much sense of security.
However, the disadvantages of long-term and frequent use of black magic are also obvious…
Ian understands Dumbledore, but he also has his own judgment. Nowadays, a principal who is distracted by external things really cannot provide effective protection to the little wizards.
Not to mention the Muggle Expelling Curse, that is only for Muggles. No matter how you look at it, werewolves are magical animals with magical powers.
“You can arrange the specific time and just let me know then.” Ian promised.
Hearing this, Dumbledore seemed to be relieved and said, “It won’t be long. Just wait for my notification in the next few days and I will arrange other things.”
Ian nodded and said, “I will stay at Hogwarts during this period.”
In fact, Ian also knows that the handover of the Hogwarts principal is not as simple as shown in the original movie. Umbridge can expel the Hogwarts principal with an order from the Ministry of Magic.
If Dumbledore had not had his own plans, let alone a letter of appointment from the Ministry of Magic, Fudge and the twelve school directors would not have been able to appoint or remove Dumbledore.
Of course, this does not mean that the principal is all-powerful. If only twelve school directors cut off the supply of funds, Hogwarts can be shut down immediately, and the external pressure from the Ministry of Magic cannot be underestimated.
Therefore, the Ministry of Magic, the Headmaster of Hogwarts, and the twelve school directors are all checks and balances on each other, rather than a true monopoly.
Therefore, when Dumbledore talked about arranging other matters, he also invited the school directors and representatives from the Ministry of Magic to discuss it together. After all, some etiquette still had to be in place.
However, Ian didn’t pay attention to these red tapes. He knew very well that these were all trivial matters.
Not to mention the current environment, Fudge and Malfoy alone can make everything go smoothly.
…
Outside the Forbidden Forest, Ian’s hut.
A beautiful figure opened the door and walked into the hut alone.
Halfway through the Halloween dinner, Hermione discovered a serious problem. Her boyfriend was missing…
At first, she thought that Ian chose to postpone attending the banquet because of other things, but when less than half the time had passed, Hermione had to announce that she had been let go.
Having said that, Hermione was not angry. She knew very well that Ian would not miss the appointment without any reason. It must be because of more important things.
This was why Hermione came to the cabin during the party.
Waving her wand, she lit the firewood in the fireplace. Hermione sat on a chair and waited for the temperature in the room to gradually rise before taking off her high heels and white velvet socks.
The 7cm heel is currently quite a burden for Hermione. I rubbed my sore soles and stepped on the rock-polished ground.
Hot and cold alternated, and suddenly a cold and tingling sensation came from the soles of the feet, and soon two footprints formed by warm water vapor appeared next to Hermione’s feet.
“So ice~”
Anyone who has experience in track and field knows that cold compress is undoubtedly a good choice during strenuous exercise or acute sprain.
Therefore, despite the cold feeling coming from the soles of her feet, Hermione did not choose to put on slippers and just stepped barefoot on the ground.
Heat expansion and contraction, cold and heat exchanges, tingling, soreness… An unprecedented strange feeling arose in Hermione’s heart, causing her to close her eyes and frown slightly.
a long time.
Hermione lifted her white toes and walked to the bed leisurely and nimbly like a ballerina.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, the white soles of her feet formed a sharp contrast with the brown walnut single bed.
Until she saw the familiar alarm clock placed by the bedside. As her first time making alchemy items, this talkative alarm clock left a very deep impression on her.
But a series of events later, the alarm clock was left on the second floor of the candy store, which also made her almost forget about it. Unexpectedly, she finally saw it on Ian’s bedside. Judging from the color and luster, it looked like it. Know that the alarm clock has been well maintained.
Thinking of this, Hermione couldn’t help but feel a warm current in her heart, and she couldn’t hide the smile in her eyes.
