Hogwarts professor mixed in Marvel

"ah....."

Lockhart's question obviously made Professor McGonagall stunned and a little surprised.

After thinking about it for a while, I understood what Lockhart was thinking.

This is preparing to directly steal the city!

but....

It would also be nice if Lockhart really joined the school board.

Unexpectedly, Lockhart's title in Hogwarts and his usual generous spirit made Professor McGonagall secretly nodded.

pity.......

"Of course, Lockhart."

"However, if you want to join the school board of directors, I'm afraid it will be very difficult."

Professor McGonagall replied slowly.

"Then... Minerva, there is no rush. Please introduce me to the school board."

Lockhart asked directly.

He was a little curious about the Hogwarts school board.

His knowledge of the Harry Potter world is limited to the movies he watched in his previous life.

The school board has heard about it, but doesn't know much about it.

However, one thing he knew very well was that when Hogwarts was founded, there was no such thing as a school board of directors.

I don’t know when it came out, but it is said that its influence is not small.

Judging from today's events, the future is 80% likely to be a disaster.

If you can get rid of it early, it would be better to get rid of it.

In response to Lockhart's request, Professor McGonagall recalled the information about the School Board and introduced directly: "The School Board is officially called the Hogwarts School Board."

"Actually, there was no such thing as a school board before Hogwarts."

"However, at the end of the last century, Hogwarts had a financial crisis and almost closed down."

"Later, Principal Armando Dippet thought of a way to solve the crisis, which was to obtain support from resources such as gold galleons through the channels of the Ministry of Magic."

"This is how the school board of directors came into being. There are a total of 12 wizards on the school board of directors, all of whom are wizards from pure-blood families."

"Only they have the ability to donate a certain amount of funds to Hogwarts every year to ensure the normal operation of the school."

"Therefore, they can supervise the operation of Hogwarts School, and also have certain rights to appoint or temporarily suspend the principal."

"So, their influence on Hogwarts is not small." After listening to Professor McGonagall's introduction, Lockhart simply concluded.

"Yes, indeed." Professor McGonagall nodded slightly and agreed: "After all, the school cannot leave Jin Galleons, otherwise it will not be able to operate normally, let alone teach young wizards."

In response, Lockhart nodded slightly to express his understanding.

No matter where in the world, those with financial power always have greater say.

Especially for non-profit institutions such as schools, financial rights will become even more important.

Especially for top schools like Qingbei. When he remembered his previous life, the Ministry of Education invested at least tens of billions every year. Note that this was just one school.

A family needs tens of billions, and the total for the country starts at least 5 trillion.

It is conceivable how much money a school, especially a top school, consumes?

The more funds are consumed, the more dependent one becomes on the need for funds, and the more people with financial power have the right to speak.

Otherwise, why would a school board be able to remove Dumbledore from his position later?

In the final analysis, Hogwarts still relies too much on the funding of the school board.

Thinking of this, Lockhart was thoughtful.

suddenly.....

"Minerva, how many gold galleons does the Board of Trustees provide to Hogwarts every year?"

Regarding Lockhart's question, Professor McGonagall's expression changed, and after thinking for a moment, he roughly said, "Lockhart, because Hogwarts itself also has some profit channels."

"But despite this, the school board still provides approximately 3,000 gold galleons to Hogwarts every year."

hiss!

Hearing Professor McGonagall's answer, Lockhart took a deep breath.

3,000 gold galleons, payable every year.

Is the cost of education at Hogwarts so terrible?

He made a rough calculation and found that based on his original wealth, he would have to persist for four to five years at most before he would become a pauper.

And that school board of directors has persisted for almost a hundred years. No wonder it is composed of 12 pure-blood families.

Ordinary families can't afford it.

Don’t forget, Hogwarts is not a for-profit institution, it is a school that can only swallow up money.

The wizards who are trained are free people.

However, this school board is indeed a troublesome thing if it replaces the school board to provide funds for Hogwarts.

Let’s not mention whether people like Dumbledore believe it or not?

The school board will never give up, let alone the Ministry of Magic.

The twists and turns here will only make it more troublesome.

After thinking for a moment, Lockhart's eyes lit up and he thought of a good plan.

"Minerva, if I donate a certain amount of gold galleons to Hogwarts, can I get some honorary title?"

Having said this, Lockhart also explained to Professor McGonagall: "In this case, the school board will want to use this as an excuse later, and I can also have a war of words with them."

With this explanation, Professor McGonagall instantly understood and secretly praised Lockhart's intelligence.

With the donation, there is room for excuse for recruiting assistants in the name of Hogwarts.

After all, Lockhart donated money, so what if he used it in the name of Hogwarts?

Doesn’t the school board gain corresponding influence because of donations?

To deny this is equivalent to denying the very basis for the existence of the school board.

In this way, there is room for wrangling. Once the wrangling occurs, it can only be shelved.

but.....

"Lockhart, how many gold galleons are you going to donate?"

"This year, I will donate 600 gold galleons first, and 300 gold galleons every year thereafter." Lockhart replied according to his own ideas.

Since he has to do something, he simply has to do it to the extreme so that no one can find an excuse.

600 gold galleons, equivalent to 1/5 of the annual donation of the school board.

The next 300 pieces per year are basically equivalent to the amount donated by a pure-blood family, or even slightly higher.

In this case, let’s see what those pure-blood families say.

As for Jin Gallon, don't forget, he just ransacked Bella's treasury.

Here, there are not only Bella's, but also some wealth accumulated by the Strange family over the years, and some of Voldemort's wealth.

He estimated that there were more than 100,000 Galleons of light gold, not to mention those precious magic items.

Let him not have to worry about Jin Galleons for a short period of time.

Not to mention, if his coinage plan succeeds, gold galleons will be nothing.

When Professor McGonagall heard the amount of Lockhart's donation, her eyes lit up instantly and a bright smile appeared on her face.

Lockhart is indeed known as a rich man in Hogwarts. This is really generous, not to mention providing 300 gold galleons every year.

She has now conceived, what tools should be purchased for this batch of gold galleons? What materials should be purchased?

It seems that the school's Quidditch field could use some repairs, and there are some magic broomsticks, some of which are in tatters.

The thought flashed through his mind, and Professor McGonagall said with a smile: "In that case, Lockhart, I will go back and discuss it with the principal."

"Let's see if we can get you the title of honorary school board member."

"Although it is certainly not possible to have the corresponding rights."

"But this way, I believe it will be more beneficial to you."

Hearing Professor McGonagall's reply, Lockhart had a bright smile on his face.

Professor McGonagall can be handed over!

Well, he remembered that Professor McGonagall liked Quidditch games, so he could give some Quidditch tickets or other gifts.
