"Jon, it's been checked!" After only five minutes, Phineas Black quickly returned to his portrait in the principal's office: "Andrew Cork's father, his name is Jack Cork......"

"Mr. Jack Cork is a current employee of the Department of Magic, the Department of Magical Sports, and the Office of Patents for Funny Goods...... There is no evidence of any close relationship between him and the senior members of the Wizarding Examination Authority, let alone Lady Gestilda-Marchiban. Phineas said solemnly.

"Okay, thank you, Phineas. Jon nodded.

"Is there any punishment that needs to be given?" Phineas Black looked a little geared up, "for this kind of student who makes a mistake." ”

"It's just a small thing, and a big punishment is not necessary. Jon replied calmly, "You should contact Mr. Argus-Filch and ask him to give Andrew Cork a critical education, and to prevent such rumors from spreading in the school." ”

"Okay, I see!" Phineas Black took the lead again, disappearing from the portrait.

At the same time, Armando Duppet also returned to his portrait in the principal's office.

"Jon, I've contacted Minerva...... She's heading this way now, and she looks angry. ”

As soon as Principal Armando Dippet's words fell, a cacophony came from outside the door.

......

"Headmaster Hart!Headmaster Jon-Hart!" heard a shout from outside the headmaster's office door.

The Deputy Headmaster of Hogwarts, Transfiguration teacher, Professor Minerva-McGonagall, was quick to move, shouting as she quickly barged into the Headmaster's office.

The expression on her face was very serious, and her expression was clearly a little questioning and angry.

Breaking into the principal's office, she looked directly at the young man sitting in the principal's chair and said:

“...... Hogwarts is in chaos right now, and there's a lot to work out for you...... Many parents of students expressed their incomprehension and disagreement with a young wizard like you as the principal...... We've even received several yelling letters, only to be intercepted by the stone statue in your headmaster's office......"

Professor McGonagall spoke quickly, her voice chattering.

"Professor McGonagall!" Jon looked up and glanced at the other man, the expression on his face a little confused, "May I ask what is wrong with you?"

“...... And now, we're missing two teachers, two very important subjects: Potions and Defence Against the Dark Arts...... Failure to find two qualified new teachers before the end of the Easter holidays would be devastating to the school's reputation and to the education of its students. ”

Professor McGonagall continued, "And for those who are about to take the .Ls Ordinary Wizard Rank Exam and . It is even more unfair for the students of the Advanced Wizard Rank Exam...... In addition, Slytherin now lacks a headmaster with sufficient influence, and Professor Setima Victor is clearly not qualified for a position for long......"

Jon quickly realized the reason for the vice-principal's displeasure, "Okay, I know all about it, Professor McGonagall...... So for now, please stay calm and ......"

Professor McGonagall didn't seem to hear Jon's words, though, and continued, "...... I know too well if you're aware of the importance of these things, and I don't know if you have more important things to keep busy with, but I think you need to at least take them seriously and find a way to fix them as soon as possible......"

"Please calm down, Minerva-McGonagall!" Jon almost yelled.

"Okay...... I'm sorry, I lost my temper!" Professor McGonagall suddenly lost her temper when she heard her name be called so directly for the first time, she took a deep breath, her expression calmed down again, and said softly, "And what do you think about this, Headmaster?"

"I undoubtedly understand the doubts of the parents of the students. Jon said calmly, "These doubts are justified, and any verbal explanation is pale and futile...... So I don't care how many yelling letters are sent to the principal's office......"

Jon's remark seemed to be approved by Professor Minerva-McGonagall, who only nodded slightly, not commenting on it.

"The only thing that can prove all this is time. So, I think all you have to do is wait, whether it's you, or the professors, or the parents of the students. ”

"As for the vacant teaching positions for Potions and Defence Against the Dark Arts, rest assured, I've been thinking of a way for a long time. Jon continued:

"First of all, the position of the Potions teacher...... If all goes well, I'm sure Professor Horace-Slughorn will return to Hogwarts before the Easter break is over......"

"Professor Slughorn?" Professor McGonagall frowned, "wasn't he accused of being a Death Eater......?

"That's just an accusation from the Ministry of Magic. Jon smiled and replied unhurriedly, "Professor Albus Dumbledore's evidence and one witness are enough to prove that he took refuge with us before Voldemort fell...... So, Professor Horace-Slughorn is innocent, innocent, and he will be able to return from Azkaban soon......"

“...... So, I don't have to worry about the temporary vacancy of the Potions teacher's position, and I'm sure Professor Slughorn will be happy to continue as Head of Slytherin. ”

"Oh, thank goodness, that's great news!" Professor McGonagall breathed a sigh of relief, "What about the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher...... Could it be that Professor Snape will return to Hogwarts soon?"

"I'm sorry, but I don't think Professor Snape will be able to return to Hogwarts anytime soon!" Jon shrugged, "But don't worry, I've got the right person and I've made an offer to her." ”

"May I take the liberty of asking, who is this new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor?" Professor McGonagall asked curiously.

Jon looked down at his watch, and it was already a quarter past twelve.

"I think you'll find out soon...... Because I have made an appointment with this new professor to meet here at one o'clock this afternoon!" Jon said with a smile.

"Provided, of course, if she's willing to accept my invitation!"
