Chapter 8 Preliminary Ideas and Election of a New President
Phoenix lets everyone design an action plan while they enjoy breakfast. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info breakfast is simple eggs, milk, smoked fish, everyone doesn't care much about the food, a few people in a small group, whispering about possible solutions.
This will not be easy, if they act after the fall of the Ministry of Magic, the Death Eaters will most likely break the Hogwarts protections first, and they will face the large army of the Death Eaters, which will be difficult to break through, and in terms of timing, it will need to be accurate.
Phoenix, Snape, and Moody went over the fire, discussing possible solutions.
"Personally, I feel that I can only try to beat them for a time difference. "Phoenix gobbled up scrambled eggs. Moody and Snape barely touched the food on their plates.
"What do you mean by letting Snape figure out when the Death Eaters are in action and move Potter before they get hold of the Ministry?" Moody's MONOCULUS showed the whites of his eyes, and then he shouted, "Mondongues! ”
Phoenix turned his head to see that Mundungus was trying to fit a delicate candlestick into his pocket.
"Haha, I'm just looking, don't be nervous. He sneered and put the candlestick back in place, and the others whispered in disgust or annoyance.
"For Merlin's sake, don't disgrace us. ”
Phoenix didn't say anything, and said to Snape.
"Are you sure?"
Snape didn't answer right away, but instead fiddled with the scrambled eggs, thought for a moment, and spoke softly.
"It should be fine, I think the Dark Lord will ask me to cooperate with the capture of Potter at Hogwarts. But I think it's risky, we're only fifteenth as many as they are, and that's not counting those who don't qualify for the Dark Mark and the Imperius Curse. ”
"It doesn't matter, the specific plan, we can think about it, there is still a little time. Phoenix drank the milk in one gulp, and the others saw Phoenix finish eating and quickly sat down.
Phoenix relayed to them an idea they had discussed. Using Snape's double agent to his advantage, he can buy a little time to use the non-magical transportation supply to transfer Potter before the Death Eaters arrive.
The details would be finalized at the next meeting, and there were no objections.
"Well, if we can, today we will have a ceremony to elect the principal. Phoenix looked over to Professor McGonagall, who nodded.
"No problem, I'll arrange it later. ”
"As soon as you accept the position of Chancellor, write to Professor Slughorn and invite him to take over your faculty position. Phoenix finally commanded. Throughout, Phoenix didn't mention what to do with Draco.
The members of the Order of the Phoenix took their leave. Others continued to follow the Death Eaters or listen to information. Basically maintained Dumbledore's previous mission, with no major changes.
"You stay, Mundungus, I have a task for you. ”
He froze in place, and the others left without looking back. The last person also thoughtfully closed the door, and the room was left with Phoenix, Mundungus, and Watson.
"Dude, I-"
"Don't come, we're not familiar with each other," Phoenix got up and walked slowly to him, "The locket you sold, I think you know, is very important. I don't care what you do, get that buyer out for me. ”
Phoenix brushed shoulders with him and picked up the menorah that Mundungus had admired earlier.
"The leprechaun made it," Phoenix handed it to him, and Mundungus was a little confused, "it's worth a lot, as long as you can provide clues about the buyer, I have the money." Any scum, gangsters, hooligans and ruffians will kick me in, you understand?"
Mondongues' eyes lit up at once, and his greedy eyes could not leave the delicate, beautiful candlestick for a moment. Perhaps, in his opinion, Phoenix is like a fool who will give him money in the future to find out a piece of news that is almost impossible to track down. But Phoenix doesn't mind if he's serious about getting the job done.
"No problem, no one in the Order of the Phoenix is more proficient in this than I am. He smiled flatteringly, bowed and retreated.
Watson walked slowly behind Phoenix, staring distrustfully at Mundungus' departing back.
"Can he be trusted?"
"Perhaps, but the Snake always has an advantage that we lack, and hopefully he will bring me good news. ”
Phoenix went to the bedroom to change her clothes, and Hermione was still asleep in her bed. He flipped the clattering of the cabinet and carried her.
Hermione rubbed her eyes and glanced out the window, her naked body exposed to the sunlight, and she didn't care at all.
"It's hard to see you—get up so early," Hermione motioned, letting the thin quilt slip onto the stall.
"I'm up early, I'm going to Hogwarts. Phoenix changed his robe and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.
"Why, are you going to be sure of the headmaster?" asked Hermione, coming to her senses and excited.
"Yes, Snape is best suited to take over as headmaster. Phoenix admired her fair, delicate carcass.
"Don't look at it. Hermione forgot that she wasn't wearing anything, and hurriedly picked up the quilt from the ground and wrapped herself around.
"It's not like I haven't seen it. Phoenix couldn't figure out why she was reacting the way she did. On the clock at the head of the bed, a few stars began to turn red, reminding him to keep an eye on the time, and if he stayed any longer, the stars would let out a shrill scream.
"Alright, I'm leaving. Hermione snorted in response, and Phoenix got up and walked away.
He apparitioned and walked straight over. Walking briskly through the deserted castle, Phoenix felt a little uncomfortable. In the noisy corridor, he was the only one who echoed the footsteps.
The harsh summer light pierced through the glass and was engraved on the floor and walls like a sharp blade, making his features appear flickering and dark. The portraits saw him and exchanged their heads, and the well-informed portraits undoubtedly knew that the Hogwarts Headmaster election was about to begin.
Walking to the place where there was a lone stone monster in the corridor on the eighth floor, before he could give the order, the stone monster jumped aside, and the wall behind it split in half, revealing a moving spiral staircase behind it. Phoenix stepped up, swirling the staircase in circles and upwards, until he finally came to the door of the principal's office with its brass knocker.
Phoenix knocked on the door.
"Please come in. It was Snape's voice.
"Good day, everybody. Phoenix said as he walked into the principal's office.
The deans were all there, and Perth smiled and waved to him, as one of the trustee's witnesses watched the ceremony. There was also a small old man, standing next to him with a drawing board, who was drawing for the new headmaster.
A four-legged stool was placed in the center, but there were no changes to the Headmaster's office, and Dumbledore donated all his personal belongings, belongings, and books to Hogwarts, so they remained in place until the new Headmaster took office.
Phineas gave Snape a thumbs up in encouragement.
"Let's get started. Phoenix said as he walked over to the shelf and removed the worn-out Sorting Hat. The headmasters sat down, looking intently at Phoenix, with Snape taking the lead and Phoenix putting his hat on top of his head.
The hat twisted a few times, and after a few minutes or so, it shouted, "Very well, then—the next candidate!"
Phoenix picked up his hat, and Professor McGonagall walked over and sat down.
Although it has been agreed that the other deans will give up competing for the headmaster position, the necessary ritual process is bound by the magic contract and cannot be skipped. Otherwise, it is an illegal principal, and it is not recognized by the school itself, including the rights of house-elves, the principal's office, etc., and cannot be used.
The remaining three Deans, the Sorting Hat, didn't take much time.
Finally, Phoenix placed his hat lightly on the stool and stepped back. The Sorting Hat cracked open and shouted, "I already have a candidate, and he is the most suitable person." I am confident that he will ensure the continued survival of Hogwarts, and may you follow the example of previous Headmasters and uphold our millennia reputation. ”
It screamed, "Severus Prince Snape, Head of Slytherin House, elected 22nd Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." ”
Suddenly, all the late principals gave a standing ovation. Phineas was particularly excited, shouting in his high-pitched screech, "Well done, Severus. I mean, Headmaster—" (To be continued.) )
