Chapter 105: Cross-border Help
"What the hell is going on?" Kano was weak in his legs and feet, and finally sat on the ground with his butt on his shoulder.
Gawain didn't care, and also sat on the ground: "The big druid Kasba found Merlin, and there is some trouble on the Irish side." ”
Kano nodded thoughtfully. Casbah was the court druid in the Ulster story, and the Ulster and Connaught in the story are in present-day Ireland.
"It can't be that the 'Child of Light' Cú Chulainn's grudge is out of control, right?" Kano sweated a little on his forehead, "I don't know much about the warriors of that era, how strong is he?" ”
"It's not Cúchulainn, you can't fight him now." Gawain waved his hand again and again, "It's Fergus's resentment that is out of control." ”
Kano gasped, this was also a formidable warrior. Fergus was Cúchulainn's adoptive father, who had captured King Concierber on the battlefield. But due to the prince's intercession, he eventually leveled three mountains with a single sword as a warning.
"I can't fly three mountains now, big brother, are you sure I'm not going to die?" Kano asked with a bit of tooth ache.
"Actually, it's not that exaggerated, Fergus also did that after accumulating energy." Gawain patted Kano on the shoulder, "Originally, we wanted you to go through the last vacation. But the Irish side insisted on solving it yourself, and you got a girlfriend again. This matter will be put aside for the time being. ”
"After all, it's not the first time that Fergus's resentment has gone out of control, and it's probably once every sixty years."
"What about this time? Could something have happened? ”
"Now the knights stationed in Ireland have disappeared after entering the fairy hill." Gawain's face was not very good-looking, "This time their family sent a request for help, for the sake of being descendants of the Celts, let's go and support." ”
"In a hurry?" Kano scratched his head, "Can you go back next year, I'm also very busy here." ”
"The mainstay of the Irish knight family is all trapped in the fairy hill, do you think you are in a hurry?" Gawain patted Kano angrily, "Get ready, let's leave in a few days." ”
"So it's just over a month since school started, and you're going to take a leave of absence?" Dumbledore looked at Carno, who was still limping a little in front of him, and asked.
"I don't want to, I'll leave the Horcruxes to the Headmaster, don't forget to wait for me to come back for one last step." Kano waved his hand, he had a day of rest in bed yesterday, and he was going to a meeting with the school board later.
"Well, then you must be careful." Dumbledore nodded helplessly, "I'll ask the teachers to prepare a lesson plan for you." ”
"However, Professor Babling of the Ancient Magic Literature class is a strict person." Dumbledore reminded, "If you don't want to be troubled by her for years to come, it's better for you to explain the situation yourself." ”
Kano nodded, limping to the board room.
Kano pushed the door open, and there were already four trustees seated in their chairs.
They all greeted Kano in a friendly manner, after all, he was a real treasure boy.
Soon, the remaining school directors also sat down. Kano, who was presiding over the meeting, cleared his throat and pulled out two pieces of paper.
"There are two topics for today." Kano picked up the first piece of paper, "First of all, it's about the professor of the Magical Creature Protection Class, Rubeus. Hagrid's disposition. ”
"As a result of a student being injured in a magical creature protection class... I'll put it bluntly, it's Lucius's son Draco, who asked for Hagrid to be expelled, and killed Buckbeak, the Hippogriff. ”
Kano had already prepared, and he sent information about Hagrid and what had happened to everyone, which was provided by Dumbledore, and the authenticity was guaranteed by him.
After reading the information, everyone said that the Malfoys were just looking for trouble, and just with Dumbledore's guarantee, Hagrid would not have been expelled.
"It's okay to dismiss, there's no need to discuss." The old school manager who hated Lucius last time spoke angrily.
"But Lucius is putting a lot of pressure on us." A young school manager said, "Isn't it bad that we're not doing well. ”
"What pressure? Threatened to cast a spell on my family like last time? The old school manager swept the people present sarcastically, "Or did he spend a lot of money again?" ”
A few people were expressionless, but Cano knew that they were the ones Lucius had bribed in the school board.
"Lucius stuffed that Fudge guy with a lot of money, so even if we let this guy go... Hagrid, the Ministry of Magic may also bypass us for punishment. Another trustee spoke.
"What punishment?" Kano asked with interest, "I won't let a newly rehabilitated wronged person go to Azkaban again." ”
"No, at most a warning. But the beast may be out of luck. Someone interjected.
"Then, I propose to suspend Rubeus. Professor Hagrid is paid for half a year to see the after-effects. The young school manager thought for a moment and proposed a painless punishment.
"That animal is the property of the school, and unless the Ministry of Magic makes a big move to open the dangerous creature designation process, it has no right to get past the school board and do what it will do. We'll talk about that then. "The old school director used to be an official of the Ministry of Magic, so he is familiar with this set of things.
Kano nodded, everything that the school board could do was done, and then it was up to Lucius to invest resources and Buckbeak again.
Seriously, it's stupid.
The school trustees voted by a show of hands and the final vote was unanimously approved.
"So, next to the topic." Kano tapped on the table, "Defense against Dementors. ”
"The last time the Dementors searched the Hogwarts Express without notice. I have seen with my own eyes that they are trying to suck the joy of the students in a false way, which is very harmful to their physical and mental health. ”
"But what do you mean by defense?" A school manager asked.
"I'm referring to the 'unlimited right to self-defense.'" "As long as a Dementor strikes an innocent student or professor, they can defend themselves by any means, no matter how much damage they inflict on the Dementor." ”
"But little wizards can't deal with Dementors, does that make sense?" The old school director asked seriously, "And if Dumbledore makes a move, all the Dementors will be wiped out in an instant, and the Ministry of Magic will not agree." ”
"Discuss Dumbledore's affairs with the Ministry of Magic and himself, but the students must at least have the right to protect themselves." "It's the attitude that matters, and at least we have to show an attitude to the parents. ”
"If you want me to say, these Dementors are not even good for patrolling, and they are not even competent as jailers, otherwise how would Sirius escape?"
When this comes out of your mouth, it doesn't feel quite right. Isn't he expelled from the family, and he won't share your property?
The school directors exchanged odd looks, but Kano's proposal did make parents "feel" that their students were being respected.
As for whether the students are really respected, it's up to you.
In the end, the proposal was also adopted. The next time Kano attacks unruly Dementors, he won't have any scruples.
