Natural Magic at Hogwarts

Chapter 76 Dumbledore’s Office
"Dumbledore, what are you doing, you are making the House Cup a joke!"

"bump!"

In the principal's office, McGonagall threw the broken college cup on Dumbledore's desk, making the already cracked college cup even more damaged.

Fox on the side screamed, obviously frightened by the sudden sound, and it hid aside in fear.

McGonagall was on pins and needles at the dinner tonight. Especially after Bree left the hall, the young wizards were silent and had no intention of eating. Many young wizards were looking at the teacher's table. They were watching Dumbledore and her Gran. Dean of Fendor!
"I have never, never... wuwuwu, I have never been hated like this... They are still my students, which makes me unworthy of being the head of Gryffindor, and not worthy of being the vice principal... You What on earth are you going to do, Dumbledore!"

Mag sobbed and wiped her tears. She felt that her career as a teacher had been a complete failure. When she was collecting the pieces of the Academy Cup, she did not dare to look at the children underneath. She rushed to the principal's office on the eighth floor as if she was running away.

"Minerva, this is my fault. I cared too much about Harry. You may not know that Voldemort was really killed by him. He had the magic that Voldemort was afraid of."

McGonagall thought of Harry grabbing Voldemort's face in the stone chamber and Voldemort finally turning into ashes.

"So you want to train Potter!"

Meg suddenly knew the truth, but that was no reason for her to allow it.

"Potter is just a kid!"

McGonagall was furious, with tears in her eyes, she pointed angrily at Dumbledore and trembled.

"Brie is also a child, you cannot deprive the children of justice, and I, as the head of Gryffindor, will not let this happen!"

"But his red eyes, you and I both know, they are a symbol of the descendants of Slytherin..."

"Slytherin?" A trace of worry flashed across McGonagall's face, but she quickly strengthened her heart.

"I believe in Bree Ord, I trust him more than anyone else. What I don't believe is you, Dumbledore. Bree is a child, even if he now looks like Voldemort's origin..."

"but!"

"I'm not familiar with Voldemort. What I'm familiar with is Bree. His excellence is beyond the reach of Voldemort, and he's a good boy. He loves magic, knows the rules, and has never learned magic that puts himself in danger, because his Prudent, I've even decided to teach him Transfiguration next semester..."

McGonagall kept talking about the difference between Bree and Voldemort, always defending Bree, and Dumbledore also knew the essential difference between Bree and Voldemort, that is, Bree gave up the support of pure blood and chose to be a member of each academy. have friends of their own.

The little badgers think that Bree is sincere, the eaglets think that Bree is smart and studious, the little lions also think that Bree is different, and among the little snakes, Bree also has friends...that Malfoy who hurried out to find Bree?
An incredible character, better than Voldemort, but more capable of protecting himself, freer, and far away from taking sides. These reasons made Dumbledore feel helpless and less worried about Bree.

Dumbledore removed the matter from Bree and continued to comfort McGonagall: "Minerva, I believe that Oded will not fall to the Death Eaters, but Voldemort is not dead yet, and we all know it." Dumbledore seemed to Suddenly aged ten years, he sat slumped in the chair. The candies in his hand fell to the ground and he ignored them.

"I am already old and have no strength to fight against Voldemort. The wizarding world needs a savior to lead justice and suppress evil."

And those corrupt purebloods...

Behind Dumbledore is not just Hogwarts, he also has debts left over decades ago, debts from the righteous side. As time goes by, these debts have not diminished, but have become more and more acute, forcing him to deal with pure bloods. wizard.

Those creditors are the demands of the so-called righteous pure-blood, mixed-blood or Muggle-born wizards, as well as Dumbledore himself. His lifelong belief is to protect wizards from being eliminated by Muggles and to allow wizards to have a better life. This was also the disagreement with Grindelwald back then.

Because Grindelwald chose the most radical path, which was to start a war and control the Muggles, but in Dumbledore's view this would only exacerbate the demise of the wizarding world.

Later, Dumbledore gained the support of the "just party" in the wizarding world and tied his feelings with Grindelwald to the high tower, and he could no longer step down from the high position that was lifted up by everyone.

McGonagall said in an uncertain tone: "Dumbledore, we must have other ways to deal with Voldemort..."

Dumbledore sighed and said: "I have to do this. In the wizarding world, there is not only the Dark Lord, but also various demons walking in the light, sucking the blood of wizards. We need a righteous savior. The last one It’s me, and the next one could be Harry, or someone else, or even Oded, because a savior must exist, otherwise the balance between white and black will be broken.”

McGonagall was silent. She was not just a transfiguration professor. Before becoming a professor, she was an employee of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic. She was not ignorant of politics.

"But I am now a professor who teaches and educates people. Dumbledore, school is not your political stage. If you want, you can compete for the position of Minister of Magic. As long as you want, there will be many people supporting you. Including me."

"But inside Hogwarts, absolutely not!"

Mag took a deep breath and suppressed her anger. To be honest, she was very confused, but she always kept her responsibilities in mind.

"I will keep an eye on you. I hope you can change your attitude next semester and care more about those lovely children. So you can handle the admission notification for new students by yourself. This will help you understand each student. I’m not letting you eat sweet candies in the office and think about plotting against your own students!”

Professor McGonagall turned and left, closed the door firmly, and leaned against the wall, sobbing.

"McGonagall?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, Professor Snape, for blocking your way." McGonagall wiped the tears from her eyes and forced a smile to make way for Snape. Obviously, Snape also came to see Dumbledore. , but Mag stopped him first.

"Sorry, I mean I'm sorry for what happened today. I can't imagine this being the case. I would rather be at the bottom of Gryffindor in my professorship than get this honor through such unfair means. "

Professor McGonagall still cried as she spoke.

"Professor McGonagall?"

Bree walked out of the turret, and beside him was Professor Sprout. After Bree's private dinner just now, Professor Sprout found him and wanted to take him to find Deng. Breedo reasoned, but Breed didn't agree, but he heard Professor Sprout say that Professor McGonagall was about to cry, so he followed him to the principal's office. It seemed that Professor McGonagall really blamed himself.

"Professor, it's not anyone's fault. Don't cry. It will make me feel bad. I don't want anyone to cry because of me."

Professor McGonagall hugged Bree and choked with sobs: "I know you are a good boy, I will give you justice, and Dumbledore can't stop it..."

"No, Professor, I have actually looked past the College Cup. The most important thing in school is learning, isn't it? I have already gained the most important thing at Hogwarts."

After listening to Bree's words, Snape looked at the pretending expression on his face and did not rush to ridicule, because Professor McGonagall's behavior in Bree had calmed down, at least it was not as scary as Snape had just seen it. A worried and cowardly look, after all, McGonagall was Snape's professor at the time, and he also admired McGonagall's integrity and style of conduct.

"Of course students put learning first." Snape said helpfully, and then said: "Anyway, the Academy Cup is broken, so don't set up this award this year. If Oude still needs it, then work hard next semester. Well, we professors will be watching."

Snape was protecting Bree. He knew that Bree had no expectations for the Academy Cup, or was indifferent to this so-called glory, but he had to pave the way forward for Bree to prevent Dumbledore from stepping down. We cannot let professors continue to hold on to this, as this is not good for anyone.

Thinking of this, he looked at Bree, and Bree had the sense to understand what Snape meant.

"Thank you, professors. I know that real glory will not disappear just because of a trophy. Let's just follow the arrangements Professor Snape said."

Bree couldn't bear to see McGonagall blaming herself for this incident again. She was a good professor, not to mention that this incident was irreversible and Dumbledore had received the backlash he deserved.

In this confrontation with Dumbledore, Bree was better, and it also allowed him to see clearly how to survive better in the wizarding world.

Mag pursed her lips and felt even more distressed when she saw Bree's well-behaved expression, so she kissed Bree on the cheek and said, "I will promise that the school will be absolutely fair in the future."

Bree blushed and was a little at a loss. Although British etiquette was very open, no one had ever done this, and Bree didn't like such closeness.

Seemingly noticing Bree's stiffness, Snape sneered, pushed open the door to the principal's office and closed it. He needed to discuss the rest with Dumbledore in detail. What did Dumbledore want to do to Harry and Bree? do what!
"I'd like to spend the last day in the corner tower, is that okay?"

Bree looked at Mag, who agreed thoughtfully.

"Of course, this is not a big deal." Mag and Sprout both looked at each other and understood that the impact of this incident on Bree had passed.

"Well, good night, professors, I guess I won't have to go to Headmaster Dumbledore."

Bree said goodbye to the professors and headed to the turret, but Sprout hurriedly grabbed McGonagall and asked worriedly: "What is Dumbledore going to do about Bree's red eyes?"

Obviously, this is Sprout's true purpose. She is familiar with Dumbledore and understands Dumbledore's situation, but she will never allow Bree to be suspicious of him.

Sprout said bluntly: "What about the descendants of Slytherin? We are professors. Our duty is to teach the little wizard, not to be wary of him or plot against him because of his bloodline!"

After hearing Sprout's words, McGonagall's eyes lit up. The thing she had been worried about finally found a solution. Sure enough, Hufflepuff is the most upright and tolerant college.

McGonagall followed the words and said, "I don't think we need to worry about Dumbledore's attitude. He was good at teaching transfiguration at the beginning, but he didn't make any great achievements in helping the little wizard grow up."

Sprout and Mag looked at each other and both firmed up their attitudes.

Sprout said: "Dumbledore doesn't know how to educate the little wizard at all. Don't let him get close to Bree."

"Of course, I think we can't let Dumbledore teach Bree as he pleases." Professor McGonagall also agreed.
