In the faculty lounge, there was a moment of silence.

As Professor Sprout's words fell, everyone turned their heads to look at Dumbledore, waiting for the most intelligent wizard in the wizarding world today, the head of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, to make a final decision.

And on the sleek table not far away, the Sorting Hat was still opening and closing, showing no sign of recovery.

In the shadows of the candlelight, Elena sat down on a chair beside the table and looked playfully at the crumpled old face of the spicy old radish—it was all too rare for such a melancholy look to appear on Dumbledore's face.

Elena won't forget the "summer life exercises" that the Spicy Old Radish sent her during the summer vacation.

In that case, she also wanted Professor Dumbledore to taste what it meant to be self-inflicted and what it meant to be multiple-choice.

“...... What do I think? That's a really difficult question to answer. ”

Dumbledore pondered for a moment, then shook his head helplessly, "If I had to choose, I would probably prefer Miss Elena Kaslana to Gryffindor House—but—"

Looking at the excited professors, Dumbledore raised his voice slightly and shrugged his shoulders.

"It's just because I know the house better, as a former dean of Gryffindor and a student of Gryffindor, even if I try to keep my attitude neutral, I will still be limited to my life trajectory - about Slytherin, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw Houses, I understand more from the perspective of a bystander, rather than as a participant in it, to understand and appreciate the unique charm and precious characteristics of each house. ”

With Albus Dumbledore's explanation, the expressions on the faces of the four headmasters gradually softened.

"I see what you mean, so Professor Dumbledore, do you have any good solutions now?"

Professor Sprout was silent for a few seconds before asking, somewhat confused.

"Of course, there are a few professors among us who are wiser and more neutral than me. ”

Dumbledore nodded generously, turned his head, and looked at the slightly "special" members of the Hogwarts staff who had not spoken much since tonight in the corner of the staff lounge.

"Oh, Professor Dumbledore, you're so kind, I just have some insignificant wisdom. ”

Noticing Dumbledore's gaze, Gilderoy Lockhart grinned and said with some pride.

"But I do have some good experience with that. In my opinion, when logic cannot judge something, we can leave everything to luck to choose, I can introduce you to a very simple and interesting little game, just stretch out your hand at the same time to see if it is the palm of the hand or the ......"

"Gildero, thank you for your advice. And, I wasn't talking about you. ”

Dumbledore whispered, "If I'm not mistaken, you're a Ravenclaw graduate, so you're just as objective as I and the four Deans on this subject—as far as luck ......"

"Professor Lockhart, why don't you just propose a coin toss?"

Severus Snape raised an eyebrow, his tone mixed with undisguised sarcasm.

"So when school starts every year, why not just let the students come up and toss a coin once, how easy it is. ”

"Uh...... Because there are only two sides to a coin, and if you throw it once, it's not enough?"

Lockhart blinked, and replied with some uncertainty, "Of course, I don't think it's a bad idea, but it may need to be slightly optimized, like two coin flips in a row, so that there will be four combinations." ”

"Gentlemen," Professor McGonagall snorted, "I remember this was a school, not a bar or a casino. ”

At the same time, Dumbledore's voice rang out again, interrupting the argument between the three.

"Professor Apocalis, Professor Alexei," Dumbledore said, "and the two of you must have understood the whole situation of the incident, so I wonder if you have any good advice from the perspective of a bystander?"

"Let her go, the child is happy......"

Grindelwald raised his eyebrows nonchalantly and said with an old-fashioned smile, "In the era I lived in, where there were so many rules and regulations, any wizard was free, and the more outstanding people were, the more they should not be defined." ”

Not to mention the "vest" he is wearing now, he is a legendary great alchemist who has lived for hundreds of years.

Just because this girl was named "Teresa Apocalis", Grindelwald couldn't have been kind enough to help Dumbledore out of the siege - he didn't want to be given a "healthy meal for the elderly" from the beginning of the new semester.

Although it is not clear how Elena did this, he is at least ninety percent sure that it is definitely not an accident.

As for the principle or something, it doesn't matter.

In short, his little granddaughter and the third generation of the little devil are the most powerful!

Glancing at Dumbledore, who was a little dazed, and the professors who were a little confused, Grindelwald winked secretly at Elena, who was sitting on the other side of the table, and then his face turned grim, and he said seriously.

"In my opinion, Miss Elena Caslana should have the privileges of four houses at the same time, and as for her own bonus, deductions, rewards and punishments, she will be removed from the student sequence and added to the faculty and staff - in fact, as an assistant professor in Potions class and chef at Hogwarts, Miss Kaslana should not have been considered an ordinary student for a long time. ”

"So ......"

Albus Dumbledore's brow furrowed, and he was about to speak.

"Young man, don't rush to the conclusions, listen to me first. ”

Grindelwald shook his head, raised his palm and swung it, and continued unhurriedly.

As time went on, Grindelwald felt more and more the superiority of having a "living fossil grade" elder vest, and this feeling of being able to easily teach people in the posture of an elder is too addictive and enjoyable.

"I'm not going to ask you and the professors to change their name for Elena, or to teach you how to do things, but I just want to remind you that Miss Elena Kaslana has permission from most of Hogwarts houses, and in this case, it is obviously much easier to add one than to remove two. ”
