I can enter Hogwarts in the end of the world - Chapter 428
c421 Canceled Christmas Vacation
“Okay, Ian!” Professor McGonagall nodded and did not hesitate about the title.
Then he turned around and placed the pile of parchment in his hand on the desk.
“There are some things here that I need you to take a look at and then sign. It is the financial aid you will apply to the school director next year, and there are also rewards that need to be distributed to all professors at the end of next month. You need to choose whether to distribute materials or convert them into galleons…”
The thick stack of information made Ian feel a little dizzy for a moment, but even so, he still checked them one by one dutifully.
At the top is the application for funding for next year.
This matter is also very simple, because Professor McGonagall has already calculated the entire year’s expenses in detail, and he only needs to sign his name and send it to the school director.
But facing the rewards from professors and school administrators, Ian was a little unsure.
“Professor McGonagall, how have we done year-end rewards in the past? I mean, which reward do you prefer?”
Hearing this, Professor McGonagall was stunned for a moment, as if she did not expect that Ian would directly ask her opinion. After hesitating for a few seconds, he whispered: “Snape and the others don’t like carrying things home…”
“Pfft~cough!” Ian was too embarrassed not to laugh out loud, and the picture instantly appeared in his mind.
When he returned home for the year-end vacation, Snape was dressed in black robes, holding two buckets of rice flour and oil in his hands, and walked out of Hogwarts cursing…
“Then convert it into galleons!” Ian said, and at the same time he secretly sighed in his heart. Regardless of the east or west, people generally like to send money directly.
“Okay, then I will wait until the Christmas holiday to calculate the remaining funds for this year.” Professor McGonagall said in a good-natured way.
Speaking of which, I have to mention it. There is summer vacation at Hogwarts, but there is no so-called winter vacation. The long winter vacation is just the Christmas vacation, which lasts for 15 days in total.
Next, Ian also told Professor McGonagall the password for the future. There was no fancy name, but it was just changed every week in the order of the four colleges.
It doesn’t matter if you remember it wrong. At worst, you can try all four colleges.
In fact, in Hogwarts, there are really no unscrupulous people who come to the principal’s office to cause trouble. Even the bold Weasley twins have never had any idea of having trouble in the principal’s office.
This is just like in the British Isles, you can scold the Prime Minister casually, and some people will even scold you, but no one will scold the Queen.
After all, the Queen is the symbol of the entire country, as well as its glory.
The same goes for the Headmaster of Hogwarts, who represents the glory of this school.
…
Time is like running water, and more than ten days have passed by in a flash.
As Christmas approaches, the castle is filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
However, unlike the peace and joy of Hogwarts, the outside world has fallen into a strange calm.
Either the wizards have stepped up their patrols, or they really have stopped. In short, there has never been any news of the werewolves making trouble among the survivors.
But Ian also knows that this kind of calm is only short-lived. Only after a violent conflict breaks out and the peace between all parties compromises can it be a long-lasting peace.
Similarly, his ten days as principal at Hogwarts also allowed Ian to gradually adapt to his new life.
To put it bluntly, it’s like a mascot, just stay quiet.
Because Professor McGonagall will organize everything, and he only needs to sign it step by step.
…
“Otherwise there will be no holiday…”
In the principal’s office on the eighth floor, Ian stood by the window, looking at the snowy Forbidden Forest outside the castle, and suddenly came up with this idea.
The butt determines the head. After becoming the principal, he had to be responsible for all the little wizards.
During this short 15-day Christmas vacation, incidents can easily occur, and neither Hogwarts nor the Ministry of Magic has sufficient personnel to ensure the safety of students.
These are not simply dozens or hundreds of people, but all the wizards in the entire 7th grade of the school. No one can guarantee the safety of sending them home.
Pure-blood children are okay, and the family may arrange for adult wizards to pick them up, but mixed-blood or even Muggle wizards really cannot take full care of them.
Just when Ian hesitated, the portrait on the wall made an inappropriate sound:
“Boy, thank you! You will be the most unpopular principal in the future. You won’t have a holiday on Christmas, and I’m not as crazy as you about Merlin’s socks.”
It was still Principal Black who spoke.
“Shut up! Phineas. Our duty is to assist the current principal, not to make sarcastic remarks here.”
Principal Delise Devante, who was wearing aqua blue robes and a tall wizard’s hat, stopped him.
As a woman, she became the principal of Hogwarts and a prominent therapist at St. Mungo’s Hospital. With her multiple identities, she always excelled.
“Child, do what you want! Hogwarts has given you such power. Wolfsbane is not a prank. I have seen too many wizards tortured to collapse by Wolfsbane at St. Mungo’s.”
Listening to the inspiration from the portrait, Ian also made a decision in his heart.
“Thank you for your advice, Ms. Devante.”
Now is not the time to be indecisive. You can’t gamble the little wizard’s future life just for a dozen days of vacation.
As for the so-called unwelcome, let it be.
Thinking of this, Ian stood up, straightened his clothes in the mirror, and walked out the door.
He wanted to tell Professor McGonagall about this idea. This kind of thing must have the support of a person with high prestige.
Professor McGonagall is undoubtedly the best candidate. First of all, based on his sense of responsibility, Ian can guarantee that his proposal will definitely be supported. After all, in Professor McGonagall’s heart, nothing is more important than the safety of students.
…
After leaving the principal’s office, Ian noticed that many young wizards’ eyes had quietly changed when they looked at him.
Especially those girls, from the beginning of admiration and yearning, to now there is a trace of respect and awe.
“Hey! Class is everywhere.” Ian sighed in his heart.
With the change of identity, he had unknowingly distanced himself from ordinary people, and this… was something he didn’t like. No one was born noble.
The distance from the eighth floor to the Transfiguration Office on the third floor was really not that close. Ian walked through the stairs and corridors, nodding politely to everyone he met.
Turning the corner of the corridor, a slender figure came into view.
Although the castle was very lively with people coming and going, Ian saw loneliness in the other person.
The corridor, the window, the girl, the quiet view of the forbidden forest in the distance… Like a montage shot, these different elements are cleverly combined together, like an independent picture that has been dusted for a long time.
“Luna, why are you here alone in a daze?”
