Chapter 296: The Christmas Dinner Decision
It's a teacher from the Magic.
A gentle woman dressed in a kimono.
She walked in slowly, Brie frowning slightly, for the man was carrying a small box that exuded magic and resembled Brie's natural magic.
"Alright, Odejun." Reiko walked in with the box.
"I'm Reiko Kubomura." She said first, then placed the box on the wooden table in front of Brie.
It is a stone box, but it has a silver wire entwined on the outside.
"Is there something wrong?"
Suzuko didn't go around the bend with Brie, and she said, "The general wants Ou Dejun to go to the magic office. β
As she spoke, she cast a spell on the box with her wand, unshackling it and opening the lid.
A scale, but also wooden.
"You can feel it, it's close to your natural magic."
"This is a sacred object left by the god Yagi." Runes flashed across the scales.
"It records the lost Onmyoji, our general wants to return the Onmyoji to the Empire, if Mr. Oude is willing to help, we are willing to share this power."
Brie looked at the scales in the box, and he didn't know much about the Yin-Yang Technique, and he wasn't interested.
He already had an answer, Yin Yang is a power born from natural magic, and the previous warlock's method was also born from natural magic and went out of his own way.
Of course, natural magic comes from the source of the world, and is a manifestation of the source, and all magic in this world comes from the source, but it is only a question of how much it is inherited.
"I'm sorry, I have no plans to leave Hogwarts."
Reiko's eyes flickered slightly.
"It won't take you too long, you just need to ...... on vacation"
Brie stopped Reiko's words.
"It's not because of time, it's because I don't want to learn any Japanese yin-yang arts." Brie didn't think this thing could match his own strength.
Reiko was silent for a while, and then she said, "We want you to accept it even more." β
"I hope you'll give it more thought." Reiko reseals the box, but does not leave.
"The Wizardry knows that you are using the power of the Malfoy and Ode families to plant natural trees, and we think you have something to think about it."
After speaking, Reiko slowly left.
Brie watched Reiko Kubomura's figure disappear into the corner tower and waved his hand slightly dissatisfied.
Brie doesn't like people who threaten him.
"Looks like Tom is in too much of a hurry... Or maybe the people at the magic station were too vigilant. β
A few days ago, Tom told Brie that he was going to plant natural trees in Japan, and he was talking to the local area......
"Then don't grow it in Japan." After Brie sends a message to Tom, he leaves it to Tom to deal with it.
As for what the wizarding world knows what they are doing, Brie's concern is that he doesn't want to attract the attention of the three demon kings.
However, this did not stop the three demon kings.
Nothing to ......
β¦β¦
After the conversation between the XZ Academy and the Magic Institute, the rest of the academy also came to look for Brie, and some of the magic academies came up with something that was compatible with natural magic, hoping to solve these puzzles with Brie, but Brie refused.
The unified reply is - learn by yourself, crack by yourself.
β¦β¦
"Dongdong, Dongdong!" Footsteps.
"Whew!" A cold wind blows.
In the hallway, the short little wizard walked briskly through, and the little wizards around him looked at him in amazement.
"Teacher Oude."
"Von, is there something wrong?"
It was the first time Vaughn had come to see him since the beginning of the school year.
Vaughn has his own pride, he is also extremely sensitive in his heart, and he was once disappointed after Hogwarts found out that his wizarding talent was not strong, but he did not give up, and has always secretly studied natural magic.
Unfortunately, at only 11 years old, he didn't know enough about magic.
"Teacher, I failed again in Professor Flitwick's class today."
"I haven't managed to use a spell yet."
Brie rubbed Voln's little head.
"The future is far away, and your life is long, Vaughn."
Volne nodded, he understood, but looked at Brie hopefully.
"I'll teach you the process of teaching Harry last semester, it's up to you how much you can learn."
The crying child has milk to eat, and the vulgar does not deceive me.
Vaughn nodded happily, and he said, "I have one more thing I want to tell you. β
Like a spy, Vonn whispered, "I found out that Potter was hiding somewhere with a group of people to practice magic. β
"I wanted to participate, but they thought I was too young."
Vaughn said dissatisfied.
"Do you want to learn magic in private?" Brie smiled, not paying much attention to it, which was a good thing in every way.
Students love to learn, which makes professors less worried.
Seeing Brie's indifference, Vonne said, "But we all have a dueling club." β
"The Dueling Club is just a place to fight each other, and if you want to learn the magic that you have not learned, you need to learn it from another source."
"Just like you came to find it, Vaughn."
Vaughn scratched his head, his cold face suddenly became a little hot, he was actually angry at Harry that they didn't bring him with him, but there was no malice either.
"Nagini is in the corner tower, you go to her to get the materials, and Principal McGonagall is still waiting for me in the principal's office."
Brie bypassed Von and headed for the Headmaster's office.
In the principal's officeβ
"Here you go, little Brie." Professor Sprout was sitting on the couch, sipping hot black tea.
"Have a drink, Professor Snape hasn't come yet."
Inside the Headmaster's room, the door to the inner room was open, and McGonagall was most likely inside, while Professors Fracter and Flitwick were drinking tea in the outer room.
Brie sat down on the other side of the couch and, naturally, picked up the teapot and poured herself a cup.
"Is it because of Christmas?"
Brie asks if the professors need to prepare for the little wizard's holiday because Christmas is just around the corner, and of course, the Christmas stay-at-home program, the turkey dinner.
"Yes, but because of the problems of the students, today's Christmas will be a little different." Professor McGonagall stepped out of the inner chamber, closing the door to the inner chamber and holding a stack of invitations.
Professor McGonagall placed the invitation on her desk before standing at the table and said, "Some people in the wizarding world in England want Hogwarts to have a Christmas party and invite them to participate. β
"Some?"
The door to his office was pushed open, and it was Professor Snape, who questioned as soon as he entered.
McGonagall saw the crowd coming, and explained in Snape's words, "Yes, some people, some people from the Ministry of Magic or purebloods. β
"Oh, that's a big deal." Professor Flitwick was surprised, because there were very few such examples.
"It's so lively, this year and the previous year." Professor Flitwick, a gentleman who loved to be boisterous, was particularly keen on decorating the ball, and he was looking forward to it.
However, this required everyone's agreement, so he looked at the rest of the professors.
McGonagall said: "I agree with this, after all, the foreign school people have been a little restless lately, it is better to divert their enthusiasm a little." β
Because Brie turned down most of the Outer Schools, they had to look elsewhere for opportunities, especially Umbridge, because Umbridge was connected to the Ministry of Magic, and the Outer Colonels hoped that the Ministry of Magic would help them get what they wanted.
"I'm the same, but I think young wizards have the right not to participate, and neither do professors." Brie answered.
"And it's too dangerous to have a large number of adult wizards from outside of school enter Hogwarts, and we can't be sure if there are Death Eaters in the purebloods, so I think we can let the underage wizards participate as representatives of the pureblood family."
"The Ministry of Magic can invite some officials, preferably the parents of the young wizards in Hogwarts, and forget the rest."
After Brie finished speaking, the professors thought for a moment.
Snape nodded, indicating that there was no objection, as did the other two professors.
McGonagall said: "Brie's suggestion is very good, and I think it works. β
McGonagall's concern was to bring danger to Hogwarts, and according to Brie, it would have been possible to avoid such a thing, unless something was wrong with the Ministry of Magic...... This is the Ministry of Magic's own business.
"It looks like there will be a lot of little wizards staying at school this Christmas." Professor McGonagall smiled helplessly.
"Last year's Triwizard Tournament already had a lot of gold gallons in advance, and the Hogwarts coffers didn't have that much money to host such a big party." Professor McGonagall explained the situation.
The other three professors didn't answer, and they didn't have much savings.
"Find the Ministry of Magic and the School Board." Brie Dao.
The Ode family doesn't have a sole proprietorship of Hogwarts, so they won't pay for it.
McGonagall nodded, and she said, "If the Ministry of Magic and the School Council do not fund, Hogwarts has the right to cancel the right of the Ministry of Magic and the School Board to fund Hogwarts. β
McGonagall's words were for Brie, but there is a high probability that the Ministry of Magic and the School Board will not pass up this opportunity.
β¦β¦
At the end of the meeting, Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout were in charge of setting up the ball and the food, after which they were to assemble a required form, which Professor McGonagall would take to the Ministry of Magic and the School Council.
There is also a list of proposed invitees.
The professors are ready to leave.
"Professor Snape, you and Professor Oder are waiting."
On Christmas schedule, Snape is the discipline and Brie is the summary of the young wizards' stay, but McGonagall has some personal matters.
"What's the matter, Headmaster McGonagall?" Brie found Snape to be more respectful of McGonagall than Dumbledore.
McGonagall said, "It's about Gryffindor, and what Dumbledore told you last time." β
Snape frowned.
"I don't think I can teach Potter magic that doesn't have a brain much of a gap with a troll."
"It's still like the Occlumency Charm, he will never learn advanced skills."
McGonagall opened her mouth, but couldn't find a rebuttal, she had learned about Harry's progress in learning magic under Newt, and it was poor......
γ
"You can give it a try, Snape." That's all McGonagall can say.
"Hmph..."
Seeing that things were deadlocked, Brie stepped forward and said, "What do you have to do with me, Headmaster McGonagall?" β
McGonagall sighed.
"It's about the people from the Colonel, who have been in contact with Umbridge so often that Umbridge has been on his toes these days."
Of course, that's not the point, McGonagall continued, "And Professor Newt, who had previously privately started a magical learning organization, and in a secret room on the eighth floor, he had gathered a large number of wizards without going through Umbridge......"
It's troublesome because Umbridge has an education order.
"You want me to find Umbridge to settle this matter with Professor Newt?"
McGonagall shook her head.
"No, it's not like that, I want you to teach this group of students, according to Professor Newt...... He was a little confused, and the progress and talents of the students were very different, and he couldn't take them. β
Speaking of which, Professor McGonagall understood that Newt was not a qualified spell wizard, and that he was better suited to be around magical creatures.
"Why don't you go to Professor Flitwick, he's an expert at this, and Professor Flitwick is also the champion of magical duels." It is not possible to point out the logic in this.
"Uhhhh
"I'll be honest, Dumbledore actually created this private club, and he asked Newt to teach it...... There are many reasons for this. β
Truth be told, this is the place where Dumbledore's army was raised, Dumbledore needs help, although the situation in the outside world is as quiet as a pool of stagnant water, but only those who are in it know how big waves are surging under the water.
Moreover, Harry was special, the savior of the British wizarding world, and his reputation was so bad that Dumbledore needed a strong man to take him with him.
And Brie's identity is also very special, and Dumbledore also wants to ......
"Is Dumbledore hoping to let this private organization haunt me and keep me at Hogwarts?" Brie narrowed his eyes, he had the feeling that Dumbledore was wary of him.
Or rather, to explore the purpose of everything he did.
Like Grindelwald, he wanted to keep himself at Hogwarts and not end up, or even win himself over, before exploring everything.
"I refuse, I have a lot of things to do."
Seeing Brie insisting like this, McGonagall couldn't do anything, she just passed on a word.
On the other hand, Snape said, "I'm not interested in teaching Potter either..."
Professor McGonagall expected this, and she continued, "This organization has gathered many young wizards, especially Gryffindors, who account for the majority. β
Snape frowned, he was the acting dean of Gryffindor.
McGonagall added, "The other three houses have people, but there are no Slytherin students......"
Well, there was no way for Snape to escape.
"As the Head of Gryffindor, and the Vice Chancellor, you have an obligation to help the organization, and I will explain to Umbridge after Christmas that you will be the advisor to bring this organization to the fore." Professor McGonagall clapped.
"This organization is benchmarked against Defence Against the Dark Arts, and if you do well, the Defence Against the Dark Arts professors next semester can consider you, Professor Snape."
Snape was silent for a moment and said, "Yes, but I need absolute rights, and if they don't learn well, I'll punish them." β
McGonagall didn't hesitate and said, "It's within your right. β
