Chapter 935: Hogwarts Board of Directors votes
The venue had become a little noisy after learning how much the mysterious man had become the Dark Lord and Dumbledore, but as Dumbledore's response fell, it became silent again, and the onlookers couldn't believe their ears, standing there like a log, looking at Dumbledore in the middle of the field with two eyes - they thought Professor Harris would be ousted, but now they heard the news that Dumbledore was going to resign in a year.
A brief silence was followed by an uproar. The onlookers looked left and right, and uncontrollably expressed their shock and disbelief in various movements and tones.
"Albus, that person became the Dark Lord Although after listening to Professor Harris's analysis, I think you should indeed pay some responsibility, but this is more of his own choice, you don't have to go to the point of resigning, I hope you can seriously consider this matter, the wizarding world and Hogwarts still need you. Amelia Bones shook her wide chin in disapproval of Dumbledore's choice, then turned to look at Alan, "Professor Harris, you are very good at analyzing other people's behavior, and some of your views on education in our world are indeed impressive, but as I have always emphasized, I don't think this is a reason for you to teach such a large amount of dangerous magic to underage wizards in class, unfortunately and sorry, I agree with Dumbledore..." The Bones family, as members of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Board of Trustees, decided it was time for Mr. Alan Harris to leave Hogwarts. ”
As she spoke, the other school directors began to raise their hands.
"Greengrass thinks Mr. Alan Harris should be fired!"
"The Bosses think they should fire Mr. Alan Harris!" Ben Birdside whispered next to Greengrass, "Dumbledore's hand is beautiful, even if he seems to have the upper hand just now?, but Minerva McGonagall doesn't look very easy to handle." ”
"The vote has been held, the result is already doomed, and Harris's words just now are in vain. Paul Greengrass sneered and looked at the fat man beside him, "Don't look too greedy, don't forget what we've been doing for a long time, the headmaster and the minister of magic don't mean anything, as long as they don't cross the line... Dumbledore hasn't said anything about Harris's identity so far, remember to bring it up after taking off his professorship, I'm afraid Dumbledore will not admit it and let Harris keep his position to appease him..."
Ben Persted was alerted and nodded his chubby head, "Yes!
Seeing this almost one-sided unfavorable scene for Allen, some little witches felt sad and finally couldn't help but sob, and some emotional male witches also quietly wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes, and even a pure-blood wizard who had planned to obey the family's decision-making action stopped speaking sarcastically.
"It's all because of me, if I hadn't dropped out of the class and was wearing the special magic robe of the Ancient Magic Class, that skeleton wouldn't have been able to hurt me at all. Susan Bones could not contain the guilt in her heart, her eyes were wet, and suddenly, she turned to cover her face, rested her head on Hannah Abbott's shoulder, twitched her shoulders and began to cry.
Pansy Parkinson stretched out her arm in worry to grab Emily, only to find that the other party was just smiling at her, and later, when the other Slytherins gathered around Emily and comforted her softly, they found that she was immediately bowing her head and pulling up.
Allen, who was in the center of the storm, held his head high with his hands behind his back, and his indifferent gaze met Luna, and the girl with light blond hair nodded to him.
"The Foley family believes that the professor of ancient magic at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry should be banned. ”
Selwyn agrees that Mr. Alan Harris and his lessons will never be seen in Hogwarts again. ”
"I'm against it!" Sirius, who had been standing lazily in the middle of the school board members with his arms crossed, suddenly said loudly, and raised his hand under the gaze of the school board members and Hogwarts teachers and students, "The Black family, I think Professor Alan Harris should continue to teach ancient magic at Hogwarts!"
Sudden gasps and exclamations sounded, and this unexpected change stunned the audience, and even Allen's originally indifferent face was stunned, and he looked up at Sirius in some surprise.
"Are you crazy?!" said Ben Birdsted, who was standing next to Greengrass, with an angry glare, "aren't you Dumbledore's man?
Amelia Bones suppressed her anger, she looked at Sirius as if she was worried about his sanity, but was disappointed to find that the other party seemed to be really intended: "Mr. Black, I suggest you think again, think about poor Susan, your godson Harry Potter is also learning dangerous ancient magic... You are also a senior member of the Order of the Phoenix, and you cannot oppose Dumbledore at this time. ”
Harry looked at his godfather intently, originally saw Sirius in the ranks of the school board of directors and he just expressed his support for Alan, which was contrary to his intentions, but now Sirius also expressed his support for Eren in public, which made Harry a little confused, he and Ron's mouths were wide open, and they immediately turned their shocked eyes on Dumbledore - in this little lion's previous cognition, Sirius was very dissatisfied with Alan because of the previous house-elf matter.
"Ladies and gentlemen. Lucius Malfoy's condensed voice rang out, "Mr. Black has expressed his will, it's his power, but as long as the other members of the Board of Directors have a dissenting family that collectively has more than half of Hogwarts' shares, Headmaster Dumbledore's proposal will pass proudly, and I think we should proceed with the vote..."
Paul Greengrass immediately agreed, "Mr. Black, even though your Black family, as the oldest and noblest member of the Sacred Twenty-Eight, has a high percentage of the majority of the school directors, it is clear that the other members of the Board of Directors present could have completed this vote without you, and I regret that you betrayed your distant relatives to support an alien family. ”
"Ha, Mr. Black, are you still as reckless as ever? Ben Persted immediately chimed in, narrowing his eyes mockingly at Sirius, and then fanning the flames, "But everyone, this is a betrayal of us, and we must not tolerate it, we need to continue to discuss whether the Black family and the Harris family still have the ability and qualifications to remain in the Hogwarts Board Council!"
Faced with Paul Greengrass's disregard and Ben Persted's ridicule, Sirius glanced at them with disdain, but did not entangle them verbally, and in the eyes of everyone, Sirius, with his tall stature, squeezed through the two school directors in front of him, and walked to the middle of the field, his dark gray eyes calmly looking back at Dumbledore.
"Oh... Sirius, I thought we had already decided on this. Dumbledore's tone sounded surprised, but his expression made him look very serious, and he paused for a moment to adjust his mood, and his blue eyes looked sharply at Sirius, "What made you decide to support Professor Harris?"
"I'm really sorry, Dumbledore, I'm going to make it hard for you again. Sirius's voice was a little low when he said Dumbledore's name, "It's just, please believe in my loyalty to the Order of the Phoenix, no matter when, I will always be a member of the Order of the Phoenix, as long as I can fight against the mysterious man, I am willing to do whatever you ask me to do, even if it is necessary to risk my life, life and death, in order to fight to the death to eliminate the mysterious man..." However, other than that, how to deal with other things, please allow me to have my own views and positions, we were at the headquarters that day I and Lupin and Arthur expressed their disagreement but did not get your attention..."
"You bravely expressed your will... I'm sorry I ignored them, I ignored the fact that the Order of the Phoenix is an organization I founded to fight against Voldemort, it's my fault, I tried to get you to do something else..."Dumbledore nodded tiredly and regretfully, he glanced at the unchanged Allen vigilantly, and then turned his head, "It seems that you and Professor Harris have other plans? But rest assured, I will of course continue to trust you unreservedly when it comes to the Order of the Phoenix..."
"Dumbledore, don't encourage your people to go against yourself!" Paul Greengrass was much more alert than Persted, and he realized that the other party would not do such a useless effort, no matter how reckless, "Let's continue to vote.."
"Mr. Foley, it is time for your family to repay the favor after our Black family funded the failure of your high-risk investment seventy years ago. Sirius exclaimed, "Mr. McMillan, your father was cursed to think he was a brussels sprout, and it was our Black family who used his connections to invite an Arab expert to ask him to lift the curse, and now is the time to return the favor to the Black family, and I, as the patriarch of the Black family, now want you to stand with me so that Professor Alan Harris can continue to teach his ancient magic lessons at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." ”
