Chapter 41 Acting Principal

(Thanks to Bandaru for your tips and support)

A terrible dark wizard "Lord Voldemort" appeared in Britain, attracting followers to form "Death Eaters" with pure-blood supremacy and launching terrorist attacks everywhere; The great white wizard "Dumbledore" formed the "Order of the Phoenix" to secretly assist the Ministry of Magic in the fight against the Death Eaters.

Voldemort capsized in the gutter more than a decade ago, but due to his early splitting of his soul to make a Horcrux, his soul has not been able to reincarnate, and he wanders the world in search of a chance to resurrect. After many attempts, Voldemort managed to resurrect last year and secretly regroup the Death Eaters to make a comeback.

The Order of the Phoenix continues to fight against the Death Eaters, but this current Minister of Magic, Fudge, is a power-hungry person, and he is more afraid of being robbed of the ministerial throne by Dumbledore than sending someone to investigate the truth about Voldemort's resurrection, and sends his right-hand man Dolores to become the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts in the new semester to spy on Dumbledore at close range.

Dolores lived up to her trust by holding up Fudge's "Education Order" in school, imposing cruel punishment on students who disagreed, using the news media outside the school to guide public opinion, and using parental pressure to restrain Dumbledore...... In the end, with the help of the savior Harry Potter, Dumbledore was successfully defined as the "leader of the rebels" and took over as the acting headmaster.

"β€”I said," said Lyle, sitting in the clattering, rocking carriage leading to the main entrance to Hogwarts, rolling his eyes at the wanted old wizard opposite, "If you were really worried about Voldemort's threat, you should have left these little kids behind and hunted him down." Even if you think that this war is likely to last for more than a few decades, and you need to train the next generation as a reserve army against the Death Eaters, you don't need to stay at the highest combat power all the time, just find a professor with normal three views to do it for you. ”

The students of Hogwarts are not qualified soldiers, the junior students have almost no combat effectiveness, and the senior students only have a few honor students who reach the average level of adult wizards, and they can only be reduced to cannon fodder when they are thrown into the battlefield.

Hogwarts was not a strategically important stronghold, but an easy-to-defend stronghold, and the Death Eaters could ignore Hogwarts and storm the city, never saying that "if you don't storm Hogwarts, you won't win the war".

Of course, since it is an all-powerful wizarding world, the possibility of Hogwarts castle flying and turning into a moving fortress cannot be ruled out, but other than that, Lyle does not think there is any point in sticking to it.

"Half of it is that I have been the headmaster for more than fifty years, and Hogwarts is my home, which is the willfulness of an old man." Dumbledore didn't try to quibble, admitting what Lyle called 'unreasonable', "The other half is that I want to protect Harry...... I'm referring to the prophesied man who actually defeated Voldemort, and the circumstances in which he grew up mattered. ”

Thinking that Lyle might not have heard of the name Harry Potter and related legends, Dumbledore could only express it in the most straightforward way.

"I don't know what the prophecy is, but is there really a soothsayer in the contemporary wizarding world who understands the law of time or the law of cause and effect?" The prophecy of half a bucket of water is meaningless to hear, but it is like the opponent telling you 'I will be out of XX' when you are punching, "In addition, do you know what happened to the god of death who made the prophecy of "your destiny is to be my slave" to me back then? ”

"Huh?" Dumbledore narrowed his eyes when he heard the word 'Death', and he went along with the words.

"Its soul has been divided into hundreds by me, and it has become your jailer." Lyle grinned.

The White Wizard's eyes widened suddenly, "You mean the Dementors!?" ”

"Ah~ is that what you call them? I'll call them 'doppelgangers of death.'" After mentioning death for the first time in a long time, Lyle remembered one thing and couldn't help muttering, "...... Having said that, it's been 600 years, isn't it time to laugh at the grudge and help the Grim Reaper regroup? ”

"............" Dumbledore didn't know how to react, he didn't doubt the truth of this sentence, but even Lockhart couldn't blow such a force, but it was a little more credible.

"Forget it, I'm here anyway." Lyle moved his ass, he hadn't sat in such a bumpy carriage for nearly six hundred years, as uncomfortable as ever, "So, what do you want me to do in school?" First of all, I don't necessarily have a much gentler style than Voldemort, for example, if I am in your current situation, I will definitely kill Fudge, take his place, and lead the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix to suppress the Death Eaters, you better be clear. ”

"I understand." Dumbledore didn't panic at all, one of Lyle's most important traits was that he didn't care about anything outside of the City of Fantasy, and if he didn't have ambition, he wouldn't be harmful, "My request is simpleβ€”"

》》》》》》》

Past the carved stone pillars of the Flying Pigs on both sides of the doorway, and approach a tower-like castle full of small towers that are pitch-black and point to the black night sky, and on which there are windows shining brightly everywhere - this is the historic Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

The carriage staggered to a halt like a drunken halt near the stone steps of the castle, facing the oak front door, and the house-elf Aqin, who was proud to serve Lyle again after six hundred years, was the first to get out of the carriage to carry his luggage, followed by Lyle, and Dumbledore was no longer in the carriage.

With no doormen, no alchemy items to verify his identity, Lyle swaggered up the stone steps into the castle, following the direction from which the sound had come from, and soon came to the main hall of Hogwarts, where meals and meetings were held.

In the main hall, four long tables representing the four colleges glittered under a starless black ceiling, just like the night sky they saw through the high windows, and candles floated in mid-air along the long tables, illuminating the hall...... The students who were eating were a little noisy, but with Lyle's appearance, everyone kept their mouths shut.

"Who are you?" Before the Squib handyman at Hogwarts could react, Dolores had already left his seat in a hurry and asked.

Glancing at Dolores, who had short, curly mouse-like maroon hair with a terrifying pink Alice bow on it to match the pink cardigan, Lyle was in awe of her attire and replied, "Acting Headmaster of Hogwarts." ”

"What!?" Dolores' first reaction was that Fudge sent someone to take his place.

"It's not a knockoff assigned by the Ministry of Magic, it's a genuine acting headmaster designated by Dumbledore." Lyle pulls a letter from his bosom and flicks it away, and the envelope bypasses Dolores, who tries to intercept it, and falls into Professor McGonagall's hand.

Dolores' eyes widened, and then he sneered loudly, "Dumbledore! He's only a wanted criminal now, and he doesn't have the authority to appoint an acting headmaster, I'm the headmaster approved by the Ministry of Magic! ”

"That's not necessarily~" Lyle shrugged and chuckled, "In the days when Hogwarts was founded, there was no such thing as the Ministry of Magic and the Council, and this castle with a lot of spells was never recognized as 'Headmaster', and unless the Headmaster died, the position of Headmaster could only be transferred by the Headmaster at the time...... Even the interim acting principal is the same. ”

The students cheered in unison, they were suffocated by Dolores' harsh rule.

"Silence!" Dolores screamed, pulled out his wand, and said viciously, "Don't think a letter will sit in that position, now I suspect that you are following the fugitive wanted Albus Dumbbe-Wang!" ”

Before he finished speaking, he had been turned into a pink puppy by Lyle.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Can't you learn how to shut up when you're turned into a dog? The puppy's mouth was glued together, and he could no longer make a sound, so he was so anxious that he scurried around in the main hall, and was soon caught by Ah Qin with magic and taken aside.

Lyle walked to the end of the hall, in front of the faculty and staff's table, and turned to face the young wizards who had been quiet by Dolores' experience: "I am indeed the acting headmaster of Hogwarts, but for you, the Ministry of Magic decree is also worth considering, if you have any concerns, please actively consult with your parents to seek to interrupt your studies or transfer, and this school will not stop you." ”

"............" The little wizards looked at each other.

Lyle continued, "Now to introduce myself, my name is 'Lyle', I am the headmaster of the School of Witchcraft, Dumbledore is a good friend of my father Nicol Lemay, and I have to take this hot potato...... So don't bother me, the dean will try his best to make his own decisions, and will not change the teaching team for the time being, including the inappropriate Defence Against the Dark Arts professor over there. ”
