Chapter 139: Professor Merino
At this meeting, Professor Dan Lin only emphasized two points.
First, in order to ensure the safety of the students, starting tonight, professors will work in pairs to take a turn on Sita, and not only will Mrs. Carolina be present in the evening dormitory, but the professor on duty must also ensure that each wizard is in his dormitory to take a break, and increase the inspection of prohibited items in the dormitory.
- This is not limited to the powerful dark magic products and raised dark magic creatures that the school turns a blind eye to on weekdays.
Second, the school rules promulgated by Rector Karkaroff need to be perfected as soon as possible.
Although the school rules are now in a state of [invalidity], Ranko said that this state can only last for three times, and it is better to improve the school rules as soon as possible, but it will change after a long time.
"Professor Malfoy, I want to teach you about the examination."
Ranko raised an eyebrow, not too surprised by Professor Danlin's proposal.
"I may ask," he said, looking at Professor Danlin, "is it an examination that is not allowed under the condition that a series of illegal interrogation methods such as the use of the Regent and the Truth Extraction are not allowed?" ”
"Yes."
Professor Dan Lin nodded, since the matter has spread, then just break the jar and break it.
"Okay, I see." Professor Malfoy smiled.
It doesn't have to be interrogated in an illegal way, tsk, it really gives him a problem.
"Regarding the reformulation of school rules, this is ......"
Half an hour later, several professors wrote down their opinions on paper and handed them to Professor Danlin.
Ranko's proposal was: 'The whistleblower and the reported have the same obligations'.
Since you're reporting someone, okay, I'll have to check if there's anything wrong with you.
After all, who knows if you're a saint or not?
Coming out of the East Tower, Professor Harlenius covered his face and wailed in his heart.
"Eat, eat, phew, Karkarov this guy ......"
Professor Harlenius was only discouraged, and of course, almost all the professors were quite speechless.
You know, Professor Dan Lin is obviously ready to solve the problem, not to mention disrupting the layout with such a sideways kick, and almost dragging the school into the water.
I really don't know what is going on in Kakarov's head all the time.
Thinking of this, Professor Harlenius muttered, "I wish Winnie would come to the stage and kick Karkaroff down." ”
Otherwise, how could there be so many things?
"Tsk, Headmaster Sexton brought in the former Death Eaters for a prophecy......"
"Prophecy?" It was the first time Ranko had heard of it.
"Oh, didn't I tell you? The previous headmaster, Adita Sexton, approached Karkaroff eight years ago after appointing Winnie, who was then a Potions professor, as vice principal, and resigned himself, saying that he was going on a trip, but it didn't take long for the painting he had left at the school to move. ”
When the painting moves, it is naturally ......
As a professor of astronomy and a professor of divination at the university, Professor Halenius has a high voice in the field of prophecy and divination.
Even he didn't know where the former headmaster had heard a prophecy that had asked him to bring in Ingor Karkaroff.
"The first time I saw Karkaroff, I knew he wasn't a good thing."
"You must not have been to the schoolmaster's gallery yet, tsk, Karkaroff didn't like the former headmasters to go against him, so he locked them all in the basement of the castle, and only the headmaster and the headmaster were allowed to enter......"
"This is the first time I've heard of it."
In the school diary and school calendar, these details are not deliberately recorded unless specifically mentioned.
Prophecy, prophecy.
Ranko listened to Professor Harlenius's complaint, and Professor Harlenius did not feel dry-mouthed, until Professor Danlin sent a letter to Ranko, asking him to visit Professor Merino in the school doctor's office, and the two parted ways.
Professor Danlin couldn't get out of it now, and Ranko thought she might be tearing up with Karkaroff in the principal's office.
Although I thought of Professor Danlin, who was usually very cultivated, spraying the whole Kakaroff family...... Well, just imagining, Professor Dan Lin is expected to 'reason' with President Karkaroff, but he still wants to laugh inexplicably.
Removing the images of those laughs being too low from his mind, Ranko pondered.
"So, who is the 'ghost' among us?"
Is it the most suspicious Professor Merino at the moment, or something else.
Or maybe Durmstrang never had any saints in the mix, and everything was just misleading our judgment.
Ranko didn't see many students along the way, and it wasn't until the school infirmary opened the door and walked in that the cold feeling in the ice and snow dissipated.
"Although there is magic insulation on my body, I am really used to this natural warmth."
For various reasons, Ranko was already quite familiar with the layout of the school doctor's room, and he quickly found Professor Merino's room under the pull of magic.
Ranko knocked on the door, didn't hear anything inside, and opened the door and walked in.
The room was a little dark, and there was a person sitting upright on the hospital bed, and I don't know how long I had been in this position.
"Professor Merino."
With a clear sound, all the curtains in the ward opened, and Professor Melano's eyes narrowed slightly, and he quietly hid the wand he was holding in his hand.
As if he hadn't noticed the other party's defense, Ranko walked to the window table, picked up Professor Danlin's case from the table, and scanned it before looking at Professor Merino.
"It's not too much of a problem, just observe it one more night, and you can leave tomorrow."
"Professor Malfoy."
Professor Merino shouted stingily, without any intention of getting up or welcome.
Under the other party's contemplative gaze, Ranko found a stool and sat down far from the bed.
The two looked at each other for a while, and in the end, it was Ranko who spoke first:
"I'm curious."
Ranko's body leaned forward, he wasn't tall enough, but the chair seemed to come alive, adapting well to his movements, changing its shape for comfort.
"I don't remember anything I've offended you, Professor Merino."
Ranko's face was strange, "This is also what I can't figure out the most, I didn't have any conflict with you before the start of school, or even before I came to school. ”
"I didn't say it on the surface, but I could feel it."
"You hate me."
Ranko had been wondering where the inexplicable hostility in Professor Merino came from.
Is it a saint? Grindelwald? Or is it something else?
Professor Merino sat there, silently hearing that he had not spoken.
Like a falcon, his penetrating gaze stared at the blonde boy in front of him, he never moved, and the wand in his hand had no intention of leaving his hand.
"But it doesn't matter, I've never had much of a sense of other people's likes and dislikes."
Ranco wasn't surprised that he didn't hear the answer he wanted. A glass appeared beside him, and in the cup was freshly brewed lemontea.
"Need some?"
Ranko raised his glass, and Professor Merino shook his head.
"There's no need to be so wary of me, at least I don't plan to do anything to any wizard who doesn't pose a threat to me until I leave school."
Ranco bit the extra habit and leaned back slightly.
He didn't care at all about Professor Merino's defense, even if the other party was a new star, even if he was a professor who relied on his family power to become a professor in the school, but his own strength was not bad, he was still too tender for Ranko.
Anyway, he was also a wizard who could fight Grindelwald and Dumbledore a few times.
Now that the state is a little worse, it is quite easy for him to get rid of a wizard who is not very good at cursing in a silent way.
It is this that may attract the attention of the will of the school, and the magical life is much more difficult than Professor Danlin.
"Anyway, before I have any intention of leaving the school, I hope at least we can live in peace, Professor Merino, and I hope you understand."
After saying this, seeing that there was nothing to do, Ranko left.
Until he left, Professor Merino said nothing other than the initial phrase 'Professor Malfoy'.
This kind of silent appearance, unable to hold back a word for a long time, is really easy to offend people.
Of course, Ranko didn't care much about Professor Merino's attitude towards him, he was simply curious about the reasons behind his attitude.
It seems that since the first meeting with this professor just after the beginning of school, that is, a few days before the orientation, this professor has already hated him.
So, why?
Is it because he is already handsome?
Ranko touched his beardless chin and thought rather narcissistically.
"But speaking of which, Professor Dan Lin's other mission ......"
Confirm whether Professor Merino is normal, which means that Professor Danlin thinks there is something wrong with Professor Merino?
Could he be that saint?
But there is any saint who would be so obvious, as if others would not know that he is a saint.
That's where it gets interesting.
It's just a pity that if he is sure not to attract attention to a professor, he can only read his thoughts at a shallow level, and then he can see Professor Merino's reaction when he has time.
As for the elixir, ah, how could he use that old-fashioned interrogation method.
The truth elixir is not a panacea, powerful wizards can even tamper with their own memories at will, and there will be ghosts if the truth elixir can be asked.
Therefore, compared to the Truth Teller that does not know how to work, the Dementor Mind controlled by the user's influence is naturally Professor Malfoy's preferred magic for obtaining information.
After all, his Regent Mind has always been able to read to the end, and you can see at a glance whether the memory is true or false, which is like spitting out the truth elixir, and you have to punch your hands twice to make a little gurgling.
Professor Dan Lin's request is a bit embarrassing, although he can use it quietly, as long as it doesn't attract attention.
——
For a long time, the sound of a wand falling to the ground was heard in the quiet room.
Professor Merino held this position for too long, making him feel nauseous and want to throw up.
The somewhat trembling hand that had been holding the wand earlier covered his face, and Professor Merino chuckled as Ranko left.
That kind of thing......
That kind of thing......
Ranko Malfoy......
The thing had been pretending to be a living person, but his inside had long since rotted clean.
He is not alive.
He is......
He is ——!
——
Professor Dan Lin was very efficient, and Karkaroff was still relenting in the end.
Although he was still not convinced by what Professor Dan Lin said, and even felt that Professor Dan Lin was noisy and transgressed, in the face of Professor Dan Lin, who was supported by all the portraits of the president and the professors and students, he did not have the ability to resolutely say no to her proposal.
Professor Dan Lin said she was the vice-chancellor, but in the eyes of many she had taken the place of Karkaroff as a decent chancellor.
Therefore, except for a few students who were indignant and dissatisfied, believing that Professor Dan Lin was a bloody educational brain-crush fan who was acting on behalf of him, the vast majority of students and collective professors raised their hands in favor of Professor Dan Lin's actions.
But in the end, this can only be a 'consultation' and not an 'order'.
Karkaroff is the rector, and Professor Danlin is, and can only be the vice-rector.
Under the protection of the school's rules, Karkaroff really wanted to refuse Professor Danlin's proposal, he was absolutely capable of blocking the East Tower, and no one would think of a stupid way to get in.
However, it is clear that under the 'pros and cons' of Professor Danlin, Karkaroff reluctantly made a move to change the school rules.
It was impossible to undo it, Karkaroff didn't think he was wrong, Dan Lin taught them to just perfect it on this matter, yes, he wasn't wrong, he was just going to find out the damn saint.
As for the students, what will happen to the school in the future has nothing to do with him.
It has to be said that Karkaroff has always been a wizard who carries himself through to the end, and his purpose has always been only one, which is to hide from the British, from the Dark Lord who can't even say his name, and his 'colleagues'.
Durmstrang is his refuge, but even if Durmstrang is destroyed and the school is disbanded, as long as he is still in the school, there is no danger to his life in this magically protected school.
Karkaroff completely did the thing that made the students kill each other and find out the saint who was hiding in it.
For him, no one else's life is a life, only a threat to himself is called danger.
After a day, under the vigilance of a group of students, the new school rules finally came down.
And Sunday night was also when Professors Malfoy and Harlenius were on duty at Sita.
The professors were divided into three rounds, Professors Ranko and Harlenius, Merino and Vancente, and Danlin and Vega, who rotated every three days, checking Sita at night to make sure the students didn't run around or make them mess with anything strange.
Professor Malfoy didn't come to Sita very often, but Professor Harlenius looked very interested.
"Malfoy, you'll see, well, how rich the students' imaginations are."
Professor Harlenius said mysteriously, and Ranko smiled back, not knowing whether he believed it or not.
Unlike the West Tower and the North Tower, Durmstrang has two students in one room, one floor for one grade.
There are not many pure-blood wizards, and in recent years, the birth rate of pure-blood wizards according to international statistics has been decreasing year by year, coupled with Durmstrang's fierce 'folk style', many pure-blood families have stayed away, so in the West Tower, which has been expanded with a traceless stretching charm in the school, even if a grade is crammed into one floor, it does not seem crowded, and most of the rooms are not used, but it makes room for a few professors to rest.
What Professor Harlenius said was not unreasonable, and before the lights went out, before half past ten, there was a check, and when the number of students was checked, Ranko found that many of the rooms were indeed hiding a lot of 'good things'.
