Chapter 950: Roll Call
"The Mad-Eye is right," Algie Longbottom's eyes narrowed into a line, and he clenched his wand in frustration, "They really planned it a long time ago... Harris has been teasing us all..."
"It's obvious, and he doesn't mind that we know the truth! Ben Bird's fat chin was covered in cold sweat.
Paul Greengrass pressed Ben Bolt's arm and motioned for him not to act rashly.
Allen's gaze swept over the pure-blood school directors who gathered together and whispered, and then Allen's indifferent voice sounded: "Now that Hogwarts is completely owned by me, therefore, the protective force of Hogwarts is served by the armed forces of the Red Division of the Umbrella Corporation, and it no longer occupies the human resources of the Ministry of Magic." ”
Ben Persted snorted heavily, "Are you showing us off as a victor?"
Paul Greengrass stepped forward, stretched out his hand and pressed Bolt's arm, stopping the mocking words he was about to blurt out, but pleaded to Alan in an attitude that he had not had before: "Mr. Harris, although we have some conflicts and unpleasantness, I think we can take a step back and say, with the affirmation of the founder, of course the ownership of Hogwarts belongs to you, I don't think anyone will make sense, you have absolute control over it, but I hope that the identity of us school directors can be retained... After all, whether or not our school trustees are legitimate, we pure-blood families have spent so many years donating to Hogwarts to keep it running, and it stands to reason that you can't afford to leave us with another large sum of money this term..."
The pure-blood school directors reacted differently, and the scene was chaotic: some pure-blood families who were relatively less powerful also participated in the soft whisper begging for Allen, hoping that he would be magnanimous and give them another chance, and repeatedly promised that they would never oppose Harris again and would obey their orders;
Alan raised his eyebrows and said pretending to be generous: "Well, this is my negligence, out of personal mercy, I can call the shots, and the umbrella company will compensate you for your efforts this year and return you three times the donation..."
Allen's words caused a lot of uproar among the purebloods, who bowed their heads slightly and squeezed into a pile of Ben Birdside's fat double chin that Allen glared at, and shouted angrily, "Who cares about that money! Harris, are you sending beggars away?!!!"
Algerie Longbottom, who had never felt so embarrassed and insulted in his life, shouted in a rough voice, "Go, Amilia, let's go to the Ministry of Magic to sue him!"
Amelia Bones, as a member of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, shook her head bitterly, she fully understood the purpose of the Ministry of Magic's statement a few days ago: "Algee, it's useless... The Ministry of Magic has issued a statement stating that it will not interfere in all things Hogwarts. ”
"Lady Bones, I think you, who are familiar with the law, must know that even if the Ministry of Magic doesn't take a stand, it's perfectly legitimate. Alan raised his chin, and his indifferent and calm demeanor made Longbottom furious, "I know, all of you here, your family has indeed contributed to the education of Hogwarts for so many years, but your family has also used Hogwarts and used it to enjoy power that you should not have enjoyed for many years. Compared to that small donation, your family will only get more every year by virtue of being a school director..."
Ben Persted was furious: "You can't do this to us! Dirty gringos! Hogwarts belongs to the British wizarding world, I don't care if you are recognized by the founder, it's our tradition!"
"I, Harris, did anticipate what happened today, but so what? Didn't you also plan to kick me out of my school?" Alan glanced at everyone, then habitually straightened up and put his hands behind his back, "I was going to give in again and again and give you multiple opportunities, but you took advantage of yourself and didn't cherish these opportunities... If you hadn't fanned the flames at the time, but had advised Mr. Dumbledore to take it when he saw it, not to be aggressive again and again, to kick me out of Hogwarts, to ban me in education, and not to have lost my position as a member of the Board of Trustees right now... Perhaps you will have more years of such glory and rights. ”
"Hypocrisy, you're a trap, what do you want to do when you've won a big victory?!" Algie Longbottom's face flushed, and he shouted desperately, "So you're deliberately teasing us?
"Bastard, robber, Harris, if you do this, your family will not end well, don't think that you can do whatever you want with the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts!" Ben Birdside, who was still holding on tightly to Greengrass, saw someone scolding Allen, and scolded Allen even more justifiably.
Many school directors who lost their status as school directors and saw that Dumbledore was also defeated also scolded in despair.
"He's already won a big game, why should he come and argue with us?.... no! It's not good!" Greengrass first looked at the scene that was now starting to smell of gunpowder again, and then his face turned angry at Ben Bird, "Shut up, fool!
Ben Bossed looked stunned, and followed the direction indicated by Bossed to see the neatly lined up Red Division forces who were eyeing the movement on their side, and after Paul Greengrass shouted, they realized that something was wrong, and after being angry, these pure-blood school directors realized Allen's purpose - he was deliberately provoking these pure-blood school directors.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't think you've really been able to realize the status quo... This is my school, and Hogwarts is now a private school... At least at Hogwarts, I can really do whatever I want..."Alan's somewhat impatient, raised voice quieted the scene, and Alan, who became the focus of everyone's attention, said in a very cold and ominous tone, "Now, the classmates whose names I have named please come out in front of me..."
There was silence on the field, and the pure-blood school directors looked at each other with unease and fear, and judging by Alan Harris's reaction, what was going to happen next must be what he estimated to be the purpose of irritating them.
"Theodore Nott, Draco Malfoy, Millison Birdside, Neville Longbottom, Earl McMillan......" Alan said the names of some of the students very slowly, "...... Daphne Greengrass, Astoria Greengrass, ......"
"What the hell do you want to do?" asked Ben Bolt, who approached Paul Greengrass, uneasy.
"Most of the people he's calling out now are the children of our school directors. Paul Greengrass raised his arm and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead with his sleeve without hesitation.
Seeing that his child was also called out, Lucius was not uneasy, he knew how much Allen's style of conduct, his heart was full of joy at this time, he had already surrendered to the Harris family, and what happened today proved how correct his choice was this time- Before, he was worried that after Dumbledore was kicked out of the school, his safety would decline, but he didn't expect that in addition to the strong strength of the Harris family itself, they actually had the support of the founder of Hogwarts, who became a god, and as long as Draco stayed in the school, even his former master should have no way to endanger his safety.
Lucius tried his best to control the upturned movement of the corners of his mouth, trying to make his face expressionless, and the result was that his expression was particularly stiff.
When Ben Persted saw Lucius's appearance, he thought that the other party had only one son, and that he was unusually fond of him, and he thought that Lucius, like him, was too worried that his child would be frightened by Allen's behavior. But after thinking about it, Ben Persted said to Lucius, almost self-comfortingly, "Just now, your Draco is going to support Harris despite your obstruction, and Harris won't attack him..."
All the young wizards who had been named in the outer circle gathered in front of Alan, affected by the atmosphere, and they looked at their new headmaster silently and with nervousness and fear, waiting for the next order.
"Mr. Theodore Nott. Alan looked up at the tall, thin underage wizard with a frightened neck that seemed to have been shortened, and announced to everyone's horrified gaze, "You have been officially expelled from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. ”
