Chapter 266: Don't blame me for being ruthless
The founding of the Royal Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry at Hogwarts was like a monsoon across the hemisphere.
In just three days, this exciting news spread and attracted the attention of the world.
In these three days, Zhang Yao wanted to solve the potential crisis of Voldemort once and for all.
It's a pity that Voldemort's reaction is not slow. By the time Zhang Yao and Dumbledore led a large army to the castle, the personnel inside had already been empty.
Voldemort ran away, which made things even more complicated.
In order to ensure that Hogwarts will not be retaliated against by the Death Eaters. Zhang Yao had to postpone his return and sit in Europe himself, playing a game of cat and mouse with Voldemort.
"Good morning, Your Majesty!" Zhang Yao, who was eating breakfast in the room, didn't need to look up to see that it was Dumbledore coming.
"Good morning, my Mr. Headmaster. Hopefully, this time, you're bringing good news! Zhang Yao didn't look up, Hogwarts is in the midst of a change now, and Dumbledore definitely comes to him more times a day than he goes to the bathroom.
Dumbledore was unimpressed by Zhang Yao's sarcasm, put the wizarding hat on his head in his hand, and beckoned to the door.
"Hagrid, come in." Dumbledore didn't come by himself this time, Zhang Yao looked up at the door, and was greeted by Hagrid's huge size and a somewhat restrained expression on Hagrid's face.
"Relax, big man!" It was not the first time Zhang Yao had met Hagrid, who had also attended the allegiance ceremony as one of the mentors at the ceremony three days earlier.
However, people always have to be divided into three, six, nine, and so on.
At that time, Hagrid had no chance to talk to Zhang Yao at all, and it was not an exaggeration to say that this was the first time the two met.
Hearing Zhang Yao's greeting, Hagrid looked very happy.
He patted the shabby trench coat on his body and peeked at Zhang Yao's expression: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Majesty!" ”
Hearing Hagrid's greeting, Zhang Yao still didn't react, but looked at Dumbledore on the side and gave him an inquiring look.
Nothing to do in the Three Treasures Palace, Dumbledore, the old mage, but the master who does not see rabbits and eagles.
This time he will bring Hagrid over, and Zhang Yao believes that there must be something on the other side, and this matter should be related to Hagrid.
"Your Majesty, I already have a general idea of the second enrollment of students. This time, Hogwarts will open to the whole world, and it is conservatively estimated that the number of places will exceed 30,000. As an admissions tutor, I personally recommend Hagrid to be the director. ”
Dumbledore said as he gestured to Hagrid with his eyes.
Hagrid, after receiving Dumbledore's signal, tried to hold his head high. It's just that the chaotic eyes still show the ups and downs in his heart.
Actually, Hagrid is not bumpy.
At Hogwarts, Hagrid is only responsible for teaching magical beast conservation classes. Strictly speaking, he is not a real college professor, and his position has always been awkward.
"Hagrid! Well, Hagrid's loyalty to the academy is beyond doubt. Zhang Yao stuffed a piece of beef into his mouth, and raised his head as he chewed, looking at the big man who was nearly three meters tall.
When Hagrid heard this, his face was a little more proud.
However, Hagrid did not last long in this pride.
After a moment of silence, Zhang Yao changed his words: "However, with Hagrid's strength, I'm afraid I can't take on such a heavy responsibility, right?" ”
At Zhang Yao's words, Hagrid lowered his head sullenly.
Compared to Snape, McGonagall, Flitwick and other powerful professors.
Although Hagrid has one-third of the giant blood, in terms of strength, he is still not comparable to these people.
At best, Hagrid has touched the threshold of the hero's late game.
"Your Majesty, the enrollment this time has expanded nearly a hundred times compared to before. The school's faculty is almost depleted, and I think Hagrid will be able to take on the task in such a situation! Seeing that Zhang Yao did not veto, Dumbledore hurriedly made up for Hagrid's shortcomings, and led the topic to the teachers again.
Currently, Hogwarts has only 1,200 students. There were only seventeen tutors at the school, including Hagrid.
The way Hogwarts is taught, after all, is different from ordinary schools.
Here, there is only one class a day in each grade.
In this way, seventeen instructors are enough to teach, and a thousand students at seven years of age.
However, this is only the old yellow calendar. This time, the enrollment scale of Hogwarts is likely to reach a collapse of 30,000. Seventeen professors, although each of them is a leader in the industry. But the professor also doesn't have the art of separation, so the disadvantages of insufficient teachers have initially appeared at this moment.
In Hagrid's bumpy waiting for the verdict of fate, Zhang Yao also had to say that although Dumbledore was a little bit of a personal abuse of power, Hagrid was really the best candidate.
It is obviously inappropriate to transfer those professors who are the main subjects at the moment.
Although Hagrid's strength is a little low, he has also touched the threshold of the late hero, and his cultivation is still promising.
"In this way, I'll put Gandalf in charge of the admissions office, so that Hagrid's admissions won't be afraid of mistakes." Zhang Yao thought about it and agreed. I believe that Gandalf is in charge, and I am not afraid that someone will come and make trouble.
"Hagrid, thank you yet, Your Majesty!" Looking at Hagrid, who was a little dazed, Dumbledore quickly prompted.
Receiving Dumbledore's prompt, Hagrid hurriedly stopped smirking: "Thank you, Your Majesty, I will definitely not let you down!" ”
"Let's go down." Zhang Yao's disapproving opening, for Hagrid, this was a big step towards the pinnacle of his life. But for Zhang Yao, these trivial matters are not worth his attention at all.
With Zhang Yao's promise, Hagrid left happily.
After Hagrid left, Zhang Yao picked up the napel and wiped his mouth, and scolded Dumbledore with a smile: "You, how long has it been, and you have actually played a party for personal gain!" ”
Zhang Yao's laughter and scolding were justified, among the dozen or so professors at Hogwarts, only this Hagrid's position was the most embarrassing.
Let's say Hagrid is a professor, his income is much lower than other professors. It's the so-called Fantastic Beasts Protection Class, and in all seriousness, it's an animal manager.
However, if Hagrid is allowed to win the title of admissions, it will be different.
Dumbledore, who keeps pace with the times, has given this admissions incident the identity of the director of admissions.
If Hagrid can become the director of admissions this time, not only will he be able to show his face greatly in front of the new students, but when he evaluates professors in the future, no one can say that Hagrid's contribution is not enough.
You see, the more than 30,000 students in the school were all recruited by my Hagrid, so the level should be mentioned.
Zhang Yao believes that as long as this admissions turmoil passes, Hagrid will become an official professor, and most importantly, this has his tacit approval.
"Your Majesty is discerning, but it's not a clique, Hagrid has been working for Hogwarts for decades, and he deserves it." Dumbledore did not refute Zhang Yao's words, but accepted them all with a smile, putting on a clear conscience.
For Hagrid, a loyal old subordinate, Dumbledore has been a lot of support over the years. However, after all, Hagrid has no political achievements, and his status has always been a little inferior.
People are not saints and sages, who can be infallible, just like a big entrepreneur said, if you don't appoint others, do you still have to appoint others?
Dumbledore was not so noble, he could pave the way for his own people, and he didn't mind being a villain in front of Zhang Yao.
"Okay, you can make your own decisions about the things in the school. However, this student enrollment is the first step for Hogwarts to make a name for itself, and if anyone dares to mess up me, don't blame me for being ruthless! Zhang Yao put away the smile on his face, changed to a positive color, and said to Dumbledore.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. This time, I used the method of magic letters to recruit students. As long as you have the qualifications to practice magic and meet our admission requirements, they will definitely receive an invitation from us. Dumbledore replied in the affirmative, but then he was a little undecided.
"Your Majesty, there should be no problem on our side, but the world is not peaceful now, if someone stops us" Dumbledore said this, he did not continue, but looked at Zhang Yao as a gesture of inquiry.
"Stop, huh!" Zhang Yao snorted coldly and replied without hesitation: "I still say the same thing, the enrollment of students is imperative." If anyone dares to oppose me, don't blame me for being ruthless."
