Chapter 552: The Returning Headmaster
For Harry Potter, there is no doubt that this was the most relaxed, happiest, and happiest summer vacation he ever had.
Now at the age of seventeen, he can now use magic outside of school with impunity (it's a great feeling to be apparitioned from bed and eat in a restaurant).
Even life at No. 4 Privet Road has become much more interesting.
Professor Severus Snape visited again, and he met Aunt Petunia......
Harry didn't know what they were talking about, but Aunt Petunia's attitude towards magic had changed a lot since then.
Along with Uncle Vernon and Dudley, their attitude towards him had changed a lot as a result, at least for the sake of magic.
If it had been a few months ago, Harry would never have imagined that he would ever be in harmony with the Dursleys, nor would he have imagined that he would ever repair his relationship with Professor Severus Snape......
Sometimes, life is just that unbelievable!
In addition to Professor Snape, a wizard also visited Number Four Privet Road—
Cyris Black, Harry's godfather.
Because of his former experience as a "wanted criminal", it was clear that Syris was not very popular with the Dursleys, although they tried to keep it on their faces as much as possible.
Siris had come to pick up Harry, who had officially turned seventeen, and because the unnamed Adversary had died...... Harry finally didn't have to go back to his aunt's house every summer vacation.
This would have been good news...... But when it came time to finally part, Harry suddenly felt a little reluctant.
Thinking back here, he had been here for a full sixteen years...... Although the past sixteen years of life have not been pleasant, after all, his aunt and uncle have raised him little by little, so that he has grown up healthily for so long.
"Goodbye. Harry Potter said, waving at 4 Privet Road, Aunt Vernon, Aunt Penny, and Dudley.
He also said goodbye to his youth.
......
And at Hogwarts—
Vice-Chancellor, Professor Minerva McGonagall, has been very busy during this time, with little time to rest.
On the one hand, it's about the school -
Although the summer vacation has arrived at Hogwarts and the students are enjoying the holidays at home, the work of the teachers has to continue.
The first thing Professor McGonagall had to do was to solve some questions about the new students, sending them a letter of acceptance, and the Muggle-born Hogwarts students still needed the guidance of the Headmaster, and of course, the transcripts of the old students, especially those who participated. You can't afford to make mistakes with the LS exams and the students who take the exams, not to mention the graduates, for their career guidance and graduation tracking, for which Hogwarts is responsible......
Of course, Hogwarts needs two new professors, a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor and a Potions professor.
Professor Galatia Meleth has decided to resign, she is too old to withstand the demands of Hogwarts, and Professor Horace Slughorn, who is no longer willing to teach at Hogwarts due to some personal matters......
Professor McGonagall retrieved Professor Snape, who had been cleared of his grievances and was no longer limited by his status as a Death Eater.
He also agreed to return to Hogwarts as Professor of Potions and Head of Slytherin House.
As for the position of the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, this annoying question has been tossing Professor McGonagall for more than a month...... For a number of reasons, this position is not easy to recruit.
These tasks should have been the responsibility of the principal.
However, Headmaster Jon Hart has been "mysteriously disappearing" since more than a month ago......
Of course, he didn't completely lose contact, and every few days he would still photograph Phoenix Fawkes sending a letter back to Hogwarts;
As the vice-chancellor, Professor McGonagall was almost angry with the young headmaster.
But she also had to take on the task of keeping order at Hogwarts.
On the other hand, it is related to the mysterious person who was eliminated not long ago-
The news that Jon Hart, the young headmaster of Hogwarts, had eliminated the most terrifying dark wizard of the twentieth century had already spread throughout the wizarding world...... Countless letters were mailed from all over the country, and the mailing was naturally addressed to Headmaster Jon Hart.
The principal's office was already in chaos, as at least dozens of owls passed by there every day...... If it hadn't been cleaned up in time, there would have been more owl droppings and feathers over there than in an owl shack.
Honestly, Professor McGonagall had lived for so long, and this was the first time she had encountered such a situation.
Even if it was an ordinary letter, many wizards were excited to send howling letters...... This kind of correspondence is simply terrible if it is not dealt with in a timely manner.
Professor McGonagall was almost exhausted by this, she was almost exhausted......
......
Until one day in mid-August, a tired Professor Minerva McGonagall sat at the Vice-Chancellor's desk and ended her tiring day.
Just then, she heard the voice of the ugly stone monster downstairs.
"Damn!" Professor McGonagall was shocked, and sprang to her feet.
There is no doubt that there is only one person who can easily break into this principal's office-
"Headmaster Hart!" she roared as she pulled the door open.
But it wasn't Headmaster Jon Hart who appeared in front of her, it was a little girl.
And Headmaster Jon Hart was behind her, looking radiant.
"Oh, Miss Greengrass......" Professor McGonagall's face changed slightly, "Well, I'm not targeting you, but I have something to report to our Headmaster, lots and lots ......"
She said angrily.
"Jon, Professor McGonagall......" Astoria Greengrass whispered, "I'll avoid ...... for a moment."
She quickly turned and walked down the stairs.
Professor McGonagall couldn't wait for her to leave, pointed directly at Jon Hart's nose, and began to complain-
Including so many jobs at Hogwarts, and those damn howling letters, and owl droppings and stuff......
Jon was embarrassed and had to explain, "Well, Professor McGonagall...... I'm sorry, but I was injured a little during the fight with Voldemort...... So during this time, for more than a month, I have actually been recuperating from my injuries...... Well, recuperate ......"
This clumsy excuse deceived the "simple" Professor McGonagall.
"Are you alright, child......" she quickly asked with a concerned face, "Is the injury still serious?"
"I didn't ...... It's okay......" Jon shook his head a little weakly.
Of course, there is no such thing as healing...... Jon spent more than a month on vacation, and after a trip to Greece, he went to Geneva.
The headquarters of the International Quidditch Federation are located there...... Jon's main reason for going there was to talk about the new rules of Quidditch...... In his spare time during his vacation, he took the time to write some plans for improvements to the sport of Quidditch -
This includes the removal of the Seeker, the change of the timing rule, the better weapons for the batsman to control the Bludger, and better protection for the goalkeeper...... Something like that.
To this end, he had a cordial exchange with Mr. Hassan Mustafa, President of the International Quidditch Federation.
"Professor McGonagall, what's the matter with Hogwarts?" Jon asked, sitting down.
"Actually, it's not a ......," Professor McGonagall's face softened, "it's just that we need a new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher!"
"It's okay to rest assured. Jon smiled:
"I've found a ......"
"Oh?"
"Her name is Professor Weta Rozier!"
