Dumbledore was the headmaster of Hogwarts, but not the master of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Hogwarts was founded by Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin, who were the masters of Hogwarts. After the death of the four, Hogwarts was inherited by their descendants, and over time, the descendants of the four branched out to form twelve powerful families, forming the school board and holding power over Hogwarts. In the course of historical development, some families weakened and voluntarily withdrew from the board of directors, and new families joined, and there have been several changes until now.

To put it bluntly, Dumbledore is a part-time worker, with only management power, no decision-making power. However, because Dumbledore was the most powerful wizard of his time, powerful and prestigious, his protégés were all over the wizarding world, and he was loved by students and professors, and was respected by the board of directors, and the board rarely interfered with his decisions.

Although Hogwarts is the best school of witchcraft and wizardry in the world, it is not the best business school, and the school is very unprofitable, and in many cases it is in deficit and needs to be subsidized by the board of trustees to survive.

Qi Fang believes that the board of directors will gladly accept this gold galleon sent to the door.

Hogwarts is not a castle in a fairy tale, but a very realistic place, and if you are willing to spend money, many problems will be solved.

Even, as long as you spend enough money, it is not impossible to buy Hogwarts---- of course, this is only a theoretical situation, after all, there is still a Ministry of Magic, and in order to maintain the balance of the wizarding world, it will definitely intervene.

Not only did the school board gladly accept the idea of Qi Fang, but Dumbledore was also happy to see it come to fruition.

Scholarships and bursaries are a very beneficial thing for the students of the school, the former can stimulate the enthusiasm of the students, and the latter can help the students who are in financial difficulties to tide over the difficulties and allow them to concentrate on their studies, which is also what Dumbledore would like to see.

"I'll discuss this with the directors." Dumbledore's attitude became much friendlier, and he invited, "The freshman sorting ceremony and the opening dinner are about to begin, do you want to join the three of you?" ”

"Okay." Qi Fang readily agreed.

They followed Dumbledore to the City Hall on the first floor, and in the process, Dumbledore had informed the back office that an extra table had been added to the staff's seats.

Most of the school's logistics are handled by house-elves, and they are very quick.

The Grand Hall was solemnly and splendidly furnished, with a black ceiling that was magically cast to reflect the starry sky outside, and thousands of candles floating in mid-air made the whole Hall appear bright and magnificent.

In the auditorium, there were four dining tables tens of meters long, filled with glittering golden plates and goblets, and the students were divided by department, and the students of each college sat at the tables corresponding to their own colleges.

Qi Fang took a look, on average, there were less than a hundred students in each college, on average, there were only a dozen students in each grade in each college, and even some grades might have less than ten students, no wonder the students of two or four colleges were gathered in one classroom for each class---- the number of students was too small.

There was also a row of long tables on the high platform in front of the hall, and the Hogwarts staff sat at the tables, about twenty people in total.

The three of them sat on the far left of the most faculty seat, and next to them was an old acquaintance, Rubeus Hagrid, the key keeper and keeper of the Forbidden Forest.

"Welcome to Hogwarts, and I hope you have a wonderful memory." Hagrid nodded at them and said with a smile.

"Thanks, I think it will." Qi Fang said with a smile.

Not long after they sat down, Professor McGonagall walked into the Great Hall with a group of little Shota and little Lori, and came to the high platform.

On the high platform was a four-legged stool, on which lay a dirty, old and broken wizard's hat, as if it had not been washed in hundreds of years.

After McGonagall and Dumbledore had spoken a few brief introductory remarks, the Freshman Sorting Ceremony began.

"The classmate whose name I registered walked to the front. I'll put the Sorting Hat on your head and determine which house you're going to......"

Every time Professor McGonagall said a name, a little Shota or Little Lori stepped forward, put on a hat, and then divided into houses.

"Hermione Granger."

As Professor McGonagall read the name, a Lori wearing a new magic robe and long, wavy brown hair stepped onto the platform.

Qi Fang looked up, Hermione Granger's big bright brown eyes flashed a little uneasy, and there were words in her mouth, and it could be seen that there was still a bit of fragility hidden under her strong appearance.

"What a cute little Lori, three years of blood earning, the death penalty is not a loss, a gentleman's favorite, isn't your husband interested?" Wan Wan whispered.

"I'm not that mad yet, am I?" Qi Fang suddenly had a black line, she shouldn't have been asked to look at those networks.

"Really?" Wan Wan said with a smile on her face, with a look of disbelieving. "It's not small anymore, the little girls here have been dating since the third and fourth grades, and if they don't start now, it's already too late for the flowers and bones to bloom."

"Seriously, we're not here for a vacation." Qi Fang coughed lightly.

"I'm also thinking about points, and I should get a lot of rewards for winning the heroine." Wan Wan smiled and said playfully.

Qi Fang couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"I'll leave this matter to me, and I'll help you watch her." Wan Wan smiled.

After Hermione went down, Ron and Harry Potter came to the stage one after another, and they were all sorted into Gryffindor House.

After the sorting ceremony, Dumbledore announced the start of the dinner, and with a clapping of his palm, countless delicacies appeared on the table.

He didn't use any magic, all the food was made by the house elves, and after receiving Dumbledore's signal, he used magic to bring the food to the table.

"It's really convenient to have a house-elf, shouldn't we also buy a house-elf, and leave a lot of chores to them to do?" Qi Fangdao.

"Think about it." Su Quan nodded.

House-elves are proficient in magic, are logistician, and are extremely loyal, unable to refuse any request from their master---- except for a few more rebellious elves.

While they were eating, countless ghosts flew out, some through the walls, some directly out of the ground, all dressed up and flying in the air for a carnival.

The freshmen let out a burst of exclamation, and the older students were already accustomed to these ghosts, and many of them greeted them familiarly.

"Hi Hagrid." A ghost flew past Qi Fang, greeted Hagrid, and flew over before he could reply.

"You're okay too." Hagrid replied casually.

"How?" Qi Fang asked in a low voice to Wan Wan.
