Chapter 930: Open Discussion

When the position of the Great Hall began to clear, Alan smiled apologetically at Dumbledore who was waiting patiently in front of him, he turned around and firmly stretched out his hand to reassure him, and his expression became deeply moved as his gaze swept over the crowd: "I'm grateful... I'm grateful to be in a moment like this... There were so many people standing behind me, and I even noticed that many of them weren't actually my students... But let our professor figure it out..."

"Professor Harris, you have done nothing wrong! I have improved more this year than I have in the previous five years!" Parvati Patil, an Indian girl, was once again the first to speak.

Flegg Brown chimed in, "They've already gotten rid of Professor Lupin, and this time they're trying to get rid of Ai..."

Ben Persd couldn't help but curse: "It's the Ministry of Magic that drove that werewolf away, not us!

"That's enough, Mr. Birdside, I won't allow that word from your mouth to appear in my school!" Dumbledore stopped Birdside harshly, then looked back at the students in front of him, "Children, I'm glad that the students at Hogwarts have the courage to express their attitude, but like Professor Harris said, let us solve this matter, I understand your feelings, but just like Professor Harris's wishes, we are also here to make the wizarding world better... So trust us, trust your principal, your professors, let us figure it out, what do you think?

"This is indeed something that we should solve..."Alan bowed slightly and nodded in approval, then he looked around, "Headmaster Dumbledore, the headmaster and our board members are indeed qualified to discuss, but this matter itself is also a Hogwarts matter, and the professors and students who do not have the power to participate in the discussion, I think they can still have the power they want to witness, and you can see the current situation... I think we can have an open discussion about walking out of this auditorium and going through the foyer to the open space in the cloister outside the door, what do you think?

"You do have a lot of sense... But Professor Harrisβ€”" Dumbledore's voice was soft, and he took a few steps forward and whispered in a very sincere tone, "but that's the end of the matter, Alan, I think I'd rather have it for us to intervene privately, rather than have us discuss it openly, so that we can both end up in a more dignified way, without causing more harm." ”

Professor McGonagall, who had a melancholy face, looked at Alan even more worriedly, and she especially hoped that Alan would understand Dumbledore's kindness - when the time came, it was Alan who resigned on his own initiative, not the school board forcing him to fire... Announcing the board's decision in front of all the teachers and students, McGonagall feared that the brilliant young man in front of her would do something irrational.

"Rest assured, Professor Dumbledore, I believe the end result will be acceptable to me. Alan replied calmly, "I want to be more fair to everyone by deliberating openly." ”

"Dumbledore, if Professor Harris insists, why should you persuade him to go to the gate as he wishes. Paul Greengrass seemed to be a little impatient by the situation in front of him, and his eyes swept over the armed Aurors of the Ministry of Magic who were patrolling around, and found that their attention was also focused on this side of the Great Hall, and even the wand on his waist was clasped in place, "Professor Harris, I remember your father, Minister Owen Harris, that statement made the other day still works, right?"

"I beg your pardon, you're Mr. Greengrass, aren't you?" Alan turned half of his body in place, turning himself to face the other person, "Of course, this is an internal matter of our Hogwarts, and as long as it doesn't break the law, I don't think there is room for them to participate in our board meetings." ”

After being confirmed by Allen in public, Ben next to Paul looked at each other and began to smile, it was more in their interests to fire Alan Harris through due process in front of all teachers and students, which would bring a greater blow to Harris's glory and reputation, plus another wave of publicity from the newspapers and magazines controlled by their pure-blood secret society- In fact, if it weren't for Dumbledore's constant emphasis on them to be measured, they would have meant to do the same, and now that Alan himself thinks so, it's no wonder they're all right.

Paul Greengrass's eyes swept over the armed Aurors of the Ministry of Magic who were patrolling around, and found that these Aurors were also focused on this side of the Great Hall, and even clasped their wands on their waists, as if they would immediately come over to organize and maintain discipline as soon as there was a dispute here.

Amelia Bones approached Dumbledore when he saw this: "Albus, don't stalemate any longer, I don't think there's anything unpleasant about our behavior, it's better for others to see, just as I think Harris is better at the helm of the Ministry of Magic than the previous ones, I believe that although Professor Harris is different from us in these concepts, you don't have to worry about what he will do radically, especially in front of these students." ”

Dumbledore, who had been staring at Allen, was a little wary of his actions, but the situation on the scene did not allow him to hesitate more, and the fingertips of his hands crossed in front of his abdomen sighed: "Professor Harris, since you insist... We've been delayed for too long, so let's get it done. ”

With that, he turned and walked out of the auditorium, and the school trustees took a step, and then almost the entire auditorium followed, and the silence of the foyer was broken by the sound of footsteps, and they passed through the hallway of the wall full of armored statues to the door.

Dumbledore and the trustees and Alan with him stood on the stone squares in the middle of the door, while the professors and students who followed them tacitly cleared the space in the middle, and stood in the surrounding quadrangular corridors that clinged to the wall.

Before the people in the auditorium had finished speaking, Ben Persted strode away and walked towards the corner of the hollow, stretched out his fat arms, pointed to the camera stands floating in the air, and asked a gray-brown haired boy who was casting a spell on the ground to hold them in place, "What are you doing here? Why are you taking pictures?"

In the face of Ben Bird's unkind tone, Hermione, who was directing the placement of the camera in the other corner, trotted over, and she politely replied to Dennis, the younger brother of Colin Creevey, who was questioned: "Mr. Greengrass, this will not affect the discussion of your board of directors, this is just to help the meeting be recorded, to prove that everyone's actions are legal and compliant, there are no illegal operations, and to avoid any disputes between each other about the results after the meeting." ”

Ben Birdside looked at the girl in front of him, who should not be from a pure-blood family, and just wanted to scold, but then because of the other party's shaggy hair, he connected the little witch's appearance with the helm of the umbrella company - since his daughter Millison knew the importance of Hermione to Harris, he didn't want to question Hermione's behavior at such a time, otherwise it would not be good to be kicked out of Hogwarts Harris as a vent, after all, the Ministry of Magic is still in their charge.

Paul Greengrass looked at Dumbledore after seeing the gaze cast by his fat ally, and scolded with some disdain, wanting him to order the students of his house to prohibit this kind of behavior - Allen's somewhat strange abnormal behavior made him a little uneasy, and Harris's use of the camera in the past few years has basically made a lot of gains for them.

It's just that before he could ask for help, he heard Allen's side speak.

"Maybe it's like Headmaster Dumbledore sent some members of the Order of the Phoenix and your school board family to Hogsmeade to prevent something unexpected, and you don't seem to trust the Aurors who have protected you since last year," Alan put his hands behind his back and tilted his head slightly, allowing him to reveal his grievances in a calm voice in everyone's ears, "These camera materials are just to avoid any discordant behavior in this board meeting." ”
