Chapter 271 269 How to Refuse?

Chapter 271 269. How to refuse?

Even though he had returned to the hall, Jon was still in a state of self-doubt.

Of course, he would not doubt his own ability, but let those who did not know him doubt that he was actually narcissistic. Has he become so popular?

The so-called keeping him as a professor at Durmstrang was actually to let him change the entrance hall and switch jobs from Hogwarts.

When Jon came to his senses, the first thing he thought about was not whether he agreed or not, but whether this matter was Grindelwald's own idea, or the result of his discussion with Dumbledore?

The next second after this question came up, he gave himself a positive answer.

It is absolutely impossible that Dumbledore did not even discuss this matter with him and decided it without authorization. This must be Grindelwald's own decision.

Then Jon began to think about the second question.

How should he refuse?

To be honest, even without details, the conditions given by Grindelwald in his previous speech were already generous enough.

Let him come to me anytime he has any questions about magic, almost like saying that I plan to teach Jon myself and take him as a student.

It's not an ordinary teacher-student relationship, but more like the kind of master-apprentice inheritance in the early days.

Grindelwald's level is unquestionable, and his strength is recognized by everyone in the magic world. If he is allowed to be a teacher, Jon will definitely learn a lot.

But Jon never considered staying in Durmstrang from beginning to end.

He is not a traitor. He has stayed in Hogwarts enough and feels that he is ready to go to other better places for development.

Jon will always remember that if Lily hadn't snatched him from little Barty in the orphanage in time that summer, he might still be a slave in Hogwarts Castle now. How could he have achieved what he has now?

Moreover, if we follow the inheritance of the master-disciple relationship, he already has a teacher. Even if Slughorn can no longer teach him anything, Jon will never take the initiative to break off this teacher-student relationship, even if Slughorn may not mind him finding another teacher for him.

But whether he cares or not is one thing, and what he does is another.

However, Grindelwald is obviously not so easy to talk to. This old man who almost ruled the European magic world has an unquestionable dominance.

He didn't talk to Jon just now, but more like a personnel appointment. Jon seems to have no choice in such an appointment.

This undoubtedly gave Jon a headache. Even when he faced those Death Eaters in the morning, he didn't have such a headache.

Back in the hall, the students of Hogwarts were sitting at the long table arranged by Rosier for them and chatting. They didn't know that they would stay in this school for a while in the future, and they were still comparing the differences between Durmstrang and Hogwarts.

"We will stay here for a while. The next voyage has been temporarily cancelled. Durmstrang will take over Professor McGonagall and teach us magic knowledge until the situation in France stabilizes."

Jon did not hide anything and told them the situation they would face later.

Neville and the others were very surprised.

"Why don't you go to the North Pole?"

"According to the principal of Durmstrang, there is no point for us to go now."

When Jon said this, he seemed to be thinking about something, but Neville and the others were immersed in the news that they would stay in this school and didn't see it.

George said worriedly.

"But the students in this castle should not use English in class, right? We have language barriers."

Jon shook his head.

"Since Durmstrang has already prepared to keep us here, they must have made some arrangements for these matters. We don't have to worry about teaching. What we should think about now is how to get in touch with Professor Dumbledore and hear what he has to say."

Jon felt that he didn't have the ability to refuse Grindelwald's intention, and Dumbledore had to come forward to solve this matter.

The students of Hogwarts have begun to discuss staying in Durmstrang.

They don't have any bad ideas about this. They started going to sea before Halloween in October, and now it's February. It's been four months. They have been at sea for a long time. Now they can return to land and a magic school that is as famous as Hogwarts. It's also a very novel thing for them.

To put it bluntly, although Dumbledore has been using the name of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry with them, these students have never taken classes in a formal fixed place. A stable teaching place and residence are a luxury for them.

Even though this is someone else's school, they finally have a place to stay. What's even more exciting is that they should be able to take flying lessons here, right?

Just as the students of Hogwarts were discussing this, a somewhat chaotic sound of footsteps began to sound outside the auditorium.

The students of Durmstrang filed in from the door. At this time, the sky outside had completely darkened. Because this magic school is located in the northernmost part of Europe, the days are very short in winter, and the sun disappears in the sky early.

These students had obviously finished their classes for today. They walked into the hall while chatting, and cast curious eyes at the students of Hogwarts.

The professors of Durmstrang also walked into the hall with the students.

Their teaching team was much more luxurious than that of the exiled Hogwarts. In addition to Rosier, who was seen at the beginning, Johnson and the tall and thin wizard who greeted Jon and his friends at the gate of the castle, there were about seven or eight teachers who came to the long table on the high platform.

However, they just walked to the chairs, but no one intended to sit down.

Among these people, Jon saw a man who was out of tune with the others and was wearing a very modern suit and tie.

This should be the professor of Muggle Studies who was "invited" by Grindelwald himself, who was mentioned by the lady in the portrait.

He was chatting with a female teacher next to him. From the smiles that appeared from time to time, it can be seen that the two of them were chatting happily.

Well, how did that sentence go?

Since you can't resist, you might as well enjoy it with all your heart. I guess this is the mentality of the Muggle Studies professor now.

While Jon was observing the professors of Durmstrang, Grindelwald also walked into the auditorium and sat in the main seat in the middle of the podium under the respectful gaze of everyone.

After he sat down, the other teachers and students of Durmstrang sat down together.

Damn, I lost nearly two hundred dollars by mistake in shopping, which messed up my mentality. I will write these today and update four times tomorrow as usual.
