Cardcaptor at Hogwarts

The memory of just now flashed away. Professor Dumbledore was now sitting on the sofa, looking at the seemingly unfamiliar student in front of him.

"What do you want to do?"

Looking at Adam, Professor Dumbledore seemed to know him for the first time.

"I want to be Headmaster of Hogwarts."

Adam doesn't mince words.

Professor Dumbledore was silent for a moment, and then he began to wonder if he was too old and deaf:

"……What?"

"I said, I want to be the Headmaster of Hogwarts."

Adam looked at Professor Dumbledore, the seriousness in his eyes that Dumbledore could not ignore:

"I have to say that I had some criticisms about your handling of the affairs between Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic during your tenure. Now that you have resigned, what about me?"

"…What do you want to do?"

The same question, but not the same thing.

"I want to protect Hogwarts."

When Adam said this, he felt confident:

"I don't think it's a good idea to let people from the Ministry of Magic take over Hogwarts. Do you really think it's a good idea to make Umbridge the Headmaster?"

Professor Dumbledore's thinking is trapped by his moral shackles. Even if he knows that the Ministry of Magic is doing something wrong, he does not want those students to learn to resist the Ministry of Magic - he does not want others to feel that they are resisting magic. The Ministry was the right thing to do, even if the Ministry of Magic was wrong, so he left Hogwarts to the Ministry of Magic.

"You should know that Umbridge cannot truly become the principal of Hogwarts, even with the transfer order from the Ministry of Magic..."

When Hogwarts was established, the Ministry of Magic was still unknown. The inheritance of the principal of Hogwarts relied on ancient contract magic.

"Then you will still perform the duties of the principal in secret, protect Hogwarts, and prevent everyone from being controlled by the Ministry of Magic?"

Facing Adam's eyes, Professor Dumbledore was silent for a moment.

The reason why he escaped from Hogwarts was to avoid the constraints of the Ministry of Magic so that he could concentrate on running the Order of the Phoenix against Voldemort.

And although the Ministry of Magic wants to control Hogwarts, it will at least ensure the safety of the students in Hogwarts... Professor Dumbledore thinks so.

"I can, Professor Dumbledore... leave Hogwarts to me. I will ensure the safety of Hogwarts and prevent any enemies from affecting the stability of Hogwarts."

The first half of this sentence is easy to say, but the second half...

"The Ministry of Magic is also the enemy you call it?"

How perceptive, Professor Dumbledore...

"Yes."

Facing the serious Professor Dumbledore, Adam's expression became equally serious:

"Stubborn, corrupt, greedy for power..."

"They will change."

"When? What about the children who were tortured in the meantime? Are you aware that Umbridge is viciously corporally punishing students, Professor Dumbledore?"

Adam threw a quill onto the table.

With Professor Dumbledore's knowledge, he could tell what the magic on this quill was for even without using it.

"Compared to the children who still have unlimited hope in Hogwarts, are those bedbugs who have already been stereotyped worthy of letting the children wait in pain for them to change?"

"So? Are you going to kill those 'bugs'?"

"That's so extreme, and someone is planning to do it, and I don't have to worry about it, right?"

Professor Dumbledore's pupils shrank:

"You..." Are you going to use Voldemort's hand to clean the Ministry of Magic?

After thinking about it, Professor Dumbledore suddenly thought of more, such as why Grindelwald is sitting next to him now without any surprise...

Professor Dumbledore took hold of the Elder Wand.

"Are you going to do anything to me, Professor Dumbledore?"

Adam raised his hand to summon the Staff of Darkness:

"Before you hand over the position of principal to me, I should really prove my strength to you, but this place is not suitable for fighting. Let's move to another place."

…

"Expelliarmus!"

After getting the Elder Wand, Adam touched it and found that it did feel different from last time.

Turning the Elder Wand and handing it back to Professor Dumbledore, Adam smiled slightly:

"Are you satisfied with my strength?"

Professor Dumbledore remained silent and stood up following Adam's strength.

Just now, Adam stood there and allowed him to launch attacks. All kinds of magic could not break through the protective magic around Adam. Then Adam released a magic, and he suddenly couldn't use the magic spell. Then Adam cast a disarming spell... and then There is no more.

Professor Dumbledore discovered for the first time that he actually couldn't understand magic.

"Why did you end up with Grindelwald, Adam?"

Professor Dumbledore sighed and looked at Adam with solemn and sad eyes:

"Can't wizards and Muggles maintain the status quo?"

"I don't know what you are thinking about, but Professor Dumbledore, you are probably overthinking."

Adam frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head:

"I haven't thought that far yet. Right now I just want Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic to be what they should be."

Professor Dumbledore: "...?"

"Then you and Grindelwald..."

"I made a deal with Mr. Grindelwald..."

Adam glanced at Grindelwald, who looked a little nervous, and smiled slightly:

"I think Grindelwald is a very good candidate for the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, what do you think?"

Grindelwald: ? ? ?

"If I want to start a war like Mr. Grindelwald, how can Fox help me?"

Adam smiled at Fox.

There is no doubt that Fox thinks Adam's plan is much more reliable than Professor Dumbledore's plan.

"Professor Dumbledore, give me the position of principal."

Looking at Professor Dumbledore, Adam spoke again:

"I will protect the students, at least during the time at Hogwarts, whether it is the Ministry of Magic or the Death Eaters, even if Voldemort comes, I can ensure that Hogwarts is safe and sound."

Professor Dumbledore hesitated for a moment and said:

"If you are the principal, parents will not trust you, and those children will be forced to return to their homes... Do you want to force them to stay in Hogwarts?"

"Your thinking and Mr. Grindelwald's thinking... are really synchronized."

Adam looked at Grindelwald and sighed, then looked at Dumbledore. Professor Dumbledore:

"I will conceal my identity as the headmaster. It is enough for the four deans to know my identity. In this way, parents will think that Hogwarts is still under the protection of the Ministry of Magic, and the Ministry of Magic will let them think so."

After closing his eyes and thinking for a long time, Professor Dumbledore opened his eyes and looked at Adam, with deep fatigue in his eyes:

"Okay... But before that, there is another question."

"What is the question?"

"You are still a student of Hogwarts, and students cannot be headmasters. This is one of the ancient contracts of Hogwarts."

"...So?"

"So, when are you going to graduate from Hogwarts?"
