Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue

There is no doubt that cooperation with the Ministry of Magic is a double-edged sword.

If the flames in the hearts of politicians cannot be extinguished, after they have tasted "administrative education", the marrow-savvy Ministry of Magic will be like a vulture, reaching out the political tentacles into the school in various ways and waving wantonly.

There is no limit to the right. This is perhaps the most desirable and at the same time the most frightening thing.

At least in the eyes of many wise wizards, compared to the seasoned politicians of the Ministry of Magic, the faculty and staff in Hogwarts are still too simple. If the two really start to cooperate deeply, they will be honest and kind. The educators of, it may not be long before they will be played with by those greedy and lying politicians.

Obviously, in order to avoid such a situation, all smart people will choose to protest, and just like Argus Filch peeping into the eyes of the students, watching and interpreting every movement of the Ministry of Magic officials.

As for how to turn "wise" wizards into "mostly" wizards...

Dumbledore’s peripheral light quickly swept across the lower right drawer of the desk, where it was now sorted out for a certain emerging magazine, and involuntarily a lovely loli reverberated in his mind again. sound.

"As soon as human beings think, God laughs-conversely, it may be better to laugh first..."

"Conspiracy theories and anti-authority, these are always the favorite things of mobs... But it is also these small and particularly excited people who change the world, because they are the ones who really live in society."

Looking at Umbridge in a low profile, Dumbledore shook his head with pity in his heart.

Perhaps the "education supervision" system will still be retained in the future, but the principals will certainly not be the current group of officials.

Since Elena became the owner of Gringotts Wizarding Bank, the special "political account book" of the fairies naturally appeared on the desk of the Fairy Queen for the first time, and the officials of the Ministry of Magic used gray transactions for personal gain. Of course, it was completely exposed to Albus Dumbledore.

The evidence that Cornelius Fudge and Dolores Umbridge and others attempted to sell the interests of the magic world to protect themselves on the eve of the disintegration of the Soviet Union, as well as to cross Hogwarts private transactions, is to break the Dumbledore line of defense. The last straw.

No matter what calculations are being made on the Ministry of Magic...

When they stepped into Hogwarts Castle, they had become prey among the white-haired dumpling cobwebs, and the only suspense was that when the young "Justice Demon" was going to reap the net.

In any case, today's high-level Ministry of Magic must carry out a comprehensive cleanup.

The old man withdrew his thoughts and was about to continue to say something, but found that the fire in the fireplace next to him suddenly skyrocketed. After a slight crackling, a voice that had disappeared in Hogwarts for nearly ten years appeared to him. Ear.

"Excuse me, Professor Dumbledore, did I... come a little too late?"

Dumbledore put on his glasses again, turned slowly, with a happy smile from his heart, and looked at the bald, chunky old man who was leaning out of the fireplace.

The tongue of fire in the fireplace gently licked the dangling bald head of the pudgy old man, the bulging eyes, the silver-white beard like a walrus, and the exquisite workmanship of maroon and purple velvet, compared to Dumbledore’s face. The pleasure of the visitor's mood is obviously not so good-this can be seen from his frowning expression.

"Oh, Horace, my old friend, there is no better time than now."

Dumbledore blinked his azure blue eyes, selectively ignoring the sadness between Horace's eyebrows, "I said before that the position of professor of potions at Hogwarts will always be reserved for you... …Of course, under the current new curriculum standards, it will be much easier than before. Severus will teach those lovely children with you."

"Severus? Ah, yes, yes... I remember hearing you say before, is he the current potions professor at Hogwarts? This kid was really talented at the beginning, although he was more introverted, But the talent is only slightly worse than Lily."

The chunky old man answered absently, looked around the crowded room, and said uncomfortably.

"Ah, Damocles, it's been a long time since I saw you-if this is the case, even if it is an expansion, Hogwarts seems to have no shortage of excellent potions professors, so Professor Dumbledore, or I... …"

Halfway through the conversation, he quickly retreated under Dumbledore's meaningful eyes.

Horace Slughorn murmured, his light green eyes dodge a little.

"Albus, I am an old man, a tired old man, maybe we should consider retiring and try to live a quiet and leisurely life, instead of continuing to occupy a position and let young people have no room to display their talents..."

"That's not necessarily. If there are enough professors in the potions class, I actually want to try to teach something else."

Snape raised his eyebrows and spoke slowly and softly, his eyes falling on Dumbledore's face.

"In my opinion, Professor Horace Slughorn can do better than me. On the other hand, we still have Mr. Damocles who invented the wolf poison potion. Maybe... Professor , You can consider..."

"At least not this year. You are now the main professor of this course~www.wuxiaspot.com~Severus."

Dumbledore shook his head calmly and directly rejected Snape's proposal without thinking.

"We talked about this issue before, for three years. Even in the last school year, you still have to stay in the potions class for three years, so that the school can pass this period of teaching reform more smoothly, and now... …"

He shrugged, glanced at the wizards who had been arguing with Snape before, spread his hands and said helplessly.

"Presumably you have also seen that the course of Defense Against the Dark Arts can be said to be the most competitive course. Correspondingly, there are not many people who can pass your requirements in the Potions course, unless you are willing to lower it slightly. Screening criteria."

"It's just an independent configuration of Fu Ling agent. I think this screening criterion is too low..."

Snape replied coldly, his gaze swept over the evil-looking wizards around him, his lips moaned, and finally he didn't say the rest of the words outright. After all, there were still a few big men who were comparable to him. guy.

As a young wizard, he still wants to give these seniors a little face no matter what.

However, Horace Slughorn obviously has no scruples in this regard.

Except for a few unfamiliar faces, most of the wizards present were once his students. Maybe he was still a little uncertain about teaching, but this did not affect his participation in the discussion about potions.

"Just a blessing potion? That's it?"

Slughorn curled his lips in disgust.

"If you don't have a good grasp of such a simple medicine, you are indeed not qualified to be a professor of potions..."
