Charles. Singleman, though a little surprised, raised his glass in the same way.

I have to say that this senior who graduated from Slytherin is much more qualified than the current Slytherin.

Although he may not know what kind of volcano he is sitting under his ass, he may also feel that with the fall of Voldemort, the curse he has spread has long since disappeared.

Bless Professor Charles again, and hope that his beautiful blonde hair and long legs will be preserved.

I just don't know how Dumbledore will respond.

What Singleman found was not a false figure, but a real one, which meant that Hogwarts did spend only one-tenth of the amount allocated by the Ministry of Magic every year.

It's just that the Ministry of Magic has only heard of it in the past, and it has not, and does not dare to trouble the greatest white wizard in the world.

Moreover, at that time, the Order of the Phoenix was at the vanguard of the fight against the Death Eaters, and the Ministry of Magic wished that Dumbledore would also rush to the forefront.

And now, it's clear that you're unloading the mill and killing the donkey, and Voldemort has fallen, so shouldn't you, the "greatest" white wizard, retire too?

This is probably what Minister Bagno wants.

If you want to kill Dumbledore, don't be kidding, you think the name of the strongest white wizard is called for nothing?!

……

While Severus waited to see Dumbledore's joke, Dumbledore summoned Severus, but Severus courageously refused, citing the fact that he was brewing potions.

Thus, the white-bearded old man came to Severus's office for the third time.

"Good evening, Severus, I'm glad you haven't slept yet." Dumbledore was still smiling and greeting, wearing another set of pajamas with many stars.

It looks like you've just gotten out of bed.

Severus looked up at the clock, then at Dumbledore coldly, "I think you should know, Dumbledore, none of the professors except you will sleep until nine!" ”

"Really?" Dumbledore said with a look of regret, "It's a pity, you know, you have to go to bed early and get up early to have a good body, Severus, you should go to bed early." ”

Dumbledore was like that sometimes, and you couldn't tell if he was really confused or fake.

"If you're willing to cook this potion for me, Headmaster Dumbledore, I'd be happy to rest early." Severus just casually replied that Dumbledore could always prepare a lot of this kind of unnourishing words.

"I'm sure you can do it, Headmaster!"

Dumbledore didn't panic at all when he faced Severus's staring gaze, not even the slightest bit embarrassed.

"Oh, Severus, you're the Potions Master, the youngest Potions Master alive." He smiled and said, "Who can beat you in potions?!" ”

"Okay, let's talk, what are you doing again?"

Severus couldn't help but be a little defeated, although it was his home field, but Severus was not as good as Dumbledore's cultivation for a hundred and ten years.

Their faces are much thicker than Severus's!

"Hehe, Severus, you're just too humorless, don't be as serious as McGonagall!" Dumbledore continued to smile, then kindly enlightened.

"While I'm still patient, tell me your purpose and get out of here!"

Severus felt that the character of the stinging air was suitable for him, and such a headmaster who owed K could not give him a good face.

"Well, it's about the Ministry of Magic's investigation." Dumbledore said, "I hope you can do me a little favor." ”

"Oh, you're going to need my help?" Severus asked rhetorically, feigned surprise.

"Of course, you've always been the person I've trusted the most, you know, Severus." Dumbledore continued, not caring about Severus' attitude.

When it comes to getting down to business, Dumbledore is still very intimidating, very different from the funny old man just now.

Still, apparently, Severus remained unmoved.

After all, the person is set here, no matter what the reason, and no matter how nice Dumbledore says, Severus has already made up his mind, that is, he wants to be "tsundere" to the end.

This is also a characteristic of Slytherin, the more "tsundere" you are, the more you can gain Dumbledore's trust.

If you really pounce on Dumbledore's words, then Old Deng will have to wonder if you have any intentions, because it is too Slytherin.

Therefore, Severus did not do any less work than he should do, but this did not prevent him from scolding Lao Deng in his daily life.

"Although it has always been McGonagall who did it before, this year's amount is a bit different, you know, the Order of the Phoenix has suffered a lot of losses."

Dumbledore said in a bit of a showdown, as if he was really ready to drag Severus into the water.

"This shouldn't bother you, you're the greatest white wizard in the world." Severus said with a slight sneer, although it was a joke, but it was also a fact.

After all, Dumbledore was still the Headmaster, and Singleman couldn't have done Umbridge's level.

The purpose of the Ministry of Magic is obvious, that is, to seize Dumbledore and remove the elder Deng from power.

Like Fudge and Umbridge who fought against Dumbledore shirtless, they really didn't have that idea yet.

Even Fudge and Umbridge, if Dumbledore hadn't been focused on Voldemort's resurrection, he would have dealt with them a long time ago.

To put it bluntly, the Ministry of Magic didn't have a big influence on Dumbledore at all.

"I don't want to get too stiff with Bagno, there are still a lot of people in the society who are counting on the Ministry of Magic for a job." Dumbledore continued, "And the wizarding world has just calmed down, and it's not time for any more trouble. ”

Severus didn't reply.

There were some things that were clear to both sides that Severus would not have been able to refuse as long as Dumbledore had brought it up so formally.

Besides, it was nothing to Severus.

Dumbledore was reluctant to offend the Ministry of Magic, so there were times when he couldn't be too tough.

Severus didn't need to offend the Ministry of Magic, as a potions master, he had a way of explaining the purchase of potions.

Therefore, when Singerman came to Severus the next day to inquire, Severus's false account had already been prepared.

Quite simply, he added his own wages to the purchase of potions and potions materials at Hogwarts.

And he also said, "You should know the value of a high-grade potion well, so is it a problem for me to take so much?" ”

With just one sentence, the gold galleons consumed were directly doubled.

"It's not enough, and even then, it's still a big gap, how can you explain it?"

Severus was tempted to say that you should ask Dumbledore.

However, he still said: "You have been in school this month, so you should know very well that the potions class in the senior grades has not officially started, and now you are just practicing with intermediate potions, and the price of high-grade potions materials is ten times that of intermediate potions?" ”

"Not enough, or not enough, nearly a third short?" Singleman sneered, "Professor Snape, is there any other reason you can come up with?" If not, I'll report it to the Ministry of Magic! ”

Severus: "The rest is for you!" ”

Singleman: "......"

"Don't you understand? Then I'll just tell you briefly," Severus said as he looked at Singleman with a blank face, "Three of your previous Defence Against the Dark Arts professors died unexpectedly, two went missing, five were seriously injured and hospitalized, and only one was intact. ”

Singleman: "Yes...... Really? …… One...... One person"

Severus: "That mana is out of order, turned into a squib, and can't use magic anymore!" ”

Singleman: ............
