Chapter 1056 Principal Minerva McGonagall

Chapter 1056 Principal Minerva McGonagall

The school-opening dinner is about to begin. According to the procedure, there will be a sorting ceremony first, followed by a speech by the principal. If there are new professors, there will be a welcome process, and then you can start eating.

But this year is clearly a little different.

Oh, of course, not what the twins George and Fred were expecting, with the Sorting Hat yelling 'Azkaban' or something.

This year, it was Professor McGonagall who was in charge of receiving new students, and was replaced by Professor Snape. At this moment, he led the new students in through a side door, standing in the corner between the long tables of the four colleges and the professor's high platform. inside.

On the high platform, Dumbledore looked at everyone with a smile on his face.

"Welcome freshmen!"

As he spoke, the orchestra conducted by Professor Flitwick fell silent in the corner.

"Old students are also welcome, and you are welcome back."

Dumbledore supported the podium with both hands, wearing a pink wizard robe inlaid with silver meteor patterns, with silver hair and beard hanging down, and looking at everyone through the moon-shaped glasses, his eyes were full of emotion.

"I think this year is special. The world is changing too fast. Anton led many people to the moon. Voldemort plans to establish a wizard army in America. The Ministry of Magic of various countries is in chaos."

"As the chief wizard of the International Federation of Wizards, I don't think I have enough energy to put everything in the school. It's time to step down as the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

Boom~

All the little wizards in the audience started talking.

This kind of experience was not the first time. When Dumbledore was declared seriously ill, the school directors came to the school to preside over the important event and elected Lockhart as the principal.

It's only been a few years.

But now experiencing such a thing again, many people still can't accept it for a while.

Like Harry Potter.

Of course, this is Dumbledore's decision, he will not think about who can't accept it and who can accept it.

"I have been in Hogwarts for nearly a hundred years, teaching students one after another." Dumbledore recalled the past, with a smile on his face, and looked mischievously at the students in the audience , "Many of your parents, even your grandparents, were my students back then."

"I consider Hogwarts my home..."

"But I think, not just me, many people call Hogwarts their home."

"Professor McGonagall has no less affection for the school than I do. Especially in recent decades, I often have to travel far because of various things, and Professor McGonagall is in charge of everything in the school."

"I think such a handover is destined to be smooth, and Professor McGonagall will become a better principal than me."

"Welcome, Principal Minerva McGonagall!"

Dumbledore obviously didn't want to make too many speeches about his resignation, and more emotions had been released little by little as he entered the Academy of Magic in the last few months of the last school year.

He is obviously an extremely safe person, established by the staff of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and even took Professor McGonagall to operate it himself.

In other words, Professor McGonagall will not experience his situation of being constrained by the school director.

What's more, at the end of the last school year, he had actually completely delegated authority and moved to the school's Magic Research Institute, completely entering the state of resignation, and handing over everything responsible for the principal's position.

Enough time is too long, and there is no need to have any scenes of recalling the past and crying at the opening dinner of the new school year.

It's too sensational, and the older I get, the more I can't stand this.

With all the applause, Professor McGonagall stood up, nodded to Dumbledore, and solemnly came to the front of the podium, "Professor Dumbledore has not left Hogwarts, he will become a magic researcher." The dean of the hospital..."

Anton sat under the stage, quietly looking at Professor McGonagall on the stage, thinking about the question Hannah just asked.

Professor McGonagall manages everything in the school as the vice-principal, which is completely different from Professor McGonagall becoming the principal.

Yes, nothing seems to have changed.

But everyone will have their own opinions, which stem from the worldview formed in each person's heart.

Regardless of Dumbledore's business, when he was the headmaster, Hogwarts would still follow Dumbledore's rules.

And Professor McGonagall obviously has his own rules.

For example, Professor McGonagall would break the rules, let Harry Potter enter Gryffindor College illegally, and spend money to buy Harry the fastest flying broomstick 'Nimbus 2000' at that time.

That kind of approach is like Dumbledore's rule that minors are not allowed to participate in racing competitions. Professor McGonagall not only allows minors to participate, but also buys a top supercar for the minor when everyone is racing with Wuling vans.

This is a very interesting thing.

Professor Dumbledore, who is childish and likes to eat candy, is actually the most disciplined.

However, Professor McGonagall, who often has a straight face and speaks crisply, doesn't care about the rules so much.

Oh, maybe not that general.

It is more accurate to say that these two have different rules in different aspects.

In their own opinion, some rules must be followed, and some rules cannot be violated.

Such as night tours and peeking at forbidden books.

Well, although Azkaban Academy is known as the 'fifth largest academy', in fact, the school has never intervened and let Anton make up his own mind. In the era of Headmaster McGonagall, how does this academy look at the school?

Perhaps, it's time to separate Academy of Azkaban from the school.

Or, throw this college to the school, and the members of the hut will break away from this college and form their own school.

Anyway, it is actually just a name, and it has no assets in itself.

...

After dinner, before curfew.

The members of the hut gathered again in the valley of the stables on the edge of the forest.

"I think, even if it is similar, the framework of the Magic Congress is not suitable for us." Anton set the tone for this matter.

He looked at everyone seriously, "The Magic Congress is based on power and interests, while our organization is based on magic."

"That's the biggest difference."

"We have mastered the breeding farms of magical animals, the breeding bases of herbal medicines, various processing factories, sales channels of magic materials, etc..."

Anton took the black tea from Anna's hand, took a sip, and continued, "This doesn't mean we want to control the market, or participate in other people's games from a financial perspective!"

"We all know that what we have mastered is more hope that it will serve our magic experiments and the magic products we are eager to share with the world."

"Similarly, the magic research in our hut will not be the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic. We are not mysterious, we are eager to spread our magic concepts to everyone, and we hope that more people will know this magic knowledge."

"We aspire even more people to master these magics."

"That's why we established the Academy of Azkaban."

"Its function is to impart knowledge to the world, not to develop our men, or future members."

The temperature in September in the depths of the Black Sea has cooled down, and the autumn wind is blowing along with the faint sea breeze, making the campfire make a beeping sound.

The burnt plant ash floated into the sky with the wind, like fireflies.

Each member of the hut is talking about their own ideas.

"Hannah's proposal has made us uncomfortable for a while." George shrugged. "We don't like doing it in the Ministry of Magic, let alone becoming a senior official in a Ministry of Magic organization."

"Yes." Fred looked at everyone, "We like magic, yearn for freedom, and prefer to only do what we like. Researching funny magic props will make us happy, and cultivating interesting magical creatures will make us happy... ..."

"But for the benefit of the organization, we have to do some things that make us unhappy..." George looked at the bonfire with dark eyes, and quietly talked about his inner thoughts.

He looked up at everyone, "I like what Anton said, we are not based on interests and rights, but on magic, we like magic!"

"Quack quack..."

Anton raised his eyebrows at him, "I like magic too!"

Maybe that's why they got together, maybe that's why the cabin was so hard to fit in with other people.

There are too few people in this world who don't care about power and interests.

Perhaps, Ron and Goyle are also good options, and everyone agrees to admit these two friends into the cabin.

As for other people, people like Draco, Hermione, Lockhart, and Fudge couldn't fit in.

But the hut doesn't care about someone coming to share their glory, and they also need someone to come and help participate in more things, so Navigator is their place.

"Operate the magic factory, magic material channel, moon channel, etc..."

"Those who can bring power and benefits are included in the navigator. We will assess them and confirm what those people are responsible for."

"The School of Magic, the Magic Library, the Tower of Asylum, etc., are all included in the hut..."

Everyone, you say something to me, and sort out the framework of the forces bit by bit.

Hannah suddenly sat up straight with a sense of ritual, and asked everyone, "So, shall we give our organization a name? It can't be called 'House and Navigator', right?"

Well, this matter is too embarrassing for my friends.

Take a look at the names everyone usually gave - George and Fred named the small puffy-tails they bred 'Pygmy Puff', and the candy they used to skip class named 'Fever Candy', 'Blood Crash Bean', 'Stunning Flower' sugar'……

Hannah and Neville named the magical plant 'Free Snot Bubbles'...

As for Anton, Hannah has been complaining about Anton's "hut" and "navigator", which are not epic at all, and there will be no heartfelt shock when others mention it in the future.

In the end, Anna tried to think about it, and asked hesitantly, "The forerunner?"

"Great!" said George, Fred, and Anton in unison.

"Forerunner! I think it's okay!" Hannah looked at Neville excitedly, seeing him nodding, excitedly picked up the quill pen placed on the stone beside her, and quickly recorded in her notebook, "Oh, I'm starting to look forward to it." What will others call us in the future..."

"Great forerunner!"
