Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 282 If the student doesn't get pregnant, you'll be successful
Looking at the little Malfoys and their gang being grabbed by the collars and scarves by an unknown force and tossed around, screaming and howling in fear as if they had seen a ghost; Lin You had a kind of evil taste of a weird uncle looking at silly and cute kids.

After a while, little Malfoy and his followers ran away, and Harry Potter came out from the invisibility cloak with laughter and laughed with his two good friends.

The third grade should be the last time for the protagonists to maintain their childish innocence. They would even get so angry over Tom and Jerry that they wouldn't talk to each other for a long time. Next, after experiencing the extremely short adolescence in the fourth grade, they would have to face the sinister adult society.

The three of them walked towards Hogsmeade village with laughter, passing by Lin You who had cast the "Disillusionment Charm". At this point in time, Lin You did not intend to contact the three of them; the first task today was to find Constantine to confirm the news.

But unexpectedly, they encountered trouble just after taking two steps; a big, sloppy black dog came out from the woods beside the road in small steps, lowered its head to sniff, and followed the footprints left by Harry Potter and the others; after walking a few steps, it suddenly stopped, raised its head and sniffed the air a few times, and suddenly looked around with a vigilant expression.

Yes, a dog had an expression very similar to that of a human. However, the dog seemed to quickly realize that doing so would make it look suspicious, so it immediately restrained its expression; it quickly lowered its head and sniffed the ground, making it difficult to see its face, and then ran to the side of the road with loose steps - it looked no different from an ordinary stray dog.

Lin You could not hide this apparent attempt to conceal his true identity. He knew that the other party had smelled his scent. After all, he had hastily cast the "Illusion Spell" after seeing the protagonists, and had not deliberately tried to hide his scent, so it was normal for him to be exposed.

Of course, this big black dog could only be Sirius Black. However, as a fugitive, it was more afraid of exposing its whereabouts than anyone else; although it had seen through the Disillusionment Charm used by people around it, it did not dare to stay and find out what was going on, and ran away quickly.

Lin You also simply lifted the effect of the "Disillusionment Spell" and walked towards Hogwarts Castle with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Usually, he used Apparition and Dimension Door too much, so it was a bit fresh to occasionally drive the No. 11 bus.

When I reached the castle gate, I was greeted by an old man with eyes as big as light bulbs.

"Ha, caught one; a first-year student sneaking off to Hogsmeade." The man shouted in a hoarse voice, and a skinny cat at his feet stared at the intersection with the same lightbulb eyes.

Before Lin You could speak, Dumbledore's voice came from the side: "You are wrong, Argus, he is not a student of Hogwarts, but a visitor I invited."

The man called Argus left with the cat in dismay.

Lin You glanced at the Squib who was hated and ignored by most people in and outside the book, and said softly: "There must be something hateful about pitiful people."

Dumbledore at the side said: "Not everyone has Mr. Ken's luck." He was referring to the old butler of Forrester Manor; Filch was also a Squib, and could only punish students to satisfy his twisted psychology, but the old butler had the support of an earl's family and lived a decent and dignified life.

"I don't remember informing you before coming, Professor Dumbledore; how did you know I was coming?" Lin You asked curiously.

"As the headmaster of Hogwarts, there are always some privileges." Dumbledore's answer was vague and obscure, and he obviously didn't want to expose the castle's defense and early warning measures. As he spoke, the old wizard stretched out his hand and motioned Lin You to put it on his arm; then the world spun around, and the two of them had moved to the headmaster's office. Almost at the same time as the two figures appeared, a portrait on the wall suddenly flipped over, with the front of the frame firmly upside down on the wall.

A few dull shouts came from the gap between the picture frame and the wall, and then the former principals in the other frames were seen jumping and running towards the inverted portrait; and then there was soon no movement in the inverted frame.

"I'm not here to look for you. I'm looking for Constantine." Lin You didn't want to deal with the old wizard. "Can you tell me where he is?"

Dumbledore did not answer but asked: "Mr. Constantine was indeed in the castle this weekend, and he has never left the school since the beginning of the term. But before notifying him, could you please help answer my concerns; is it possible that Mr. Constantine's trouble will turn into a trouble for Hogwarts?"

"From your tone, I feel like you regret hiring Constantine." Lin You's face was full of gloating. "Is it because of his lack of teaching ability or his poor teacher ethics? He can't be worse than Mr. Lockhart last year, right?"

"In terms of teaching ability, Mr. Constantine is much better than Lockhart; he has real talent and knowledge, and his rich experience can also broaden students' horizons." Dumbledore gave a pertinent evaluation.

What Lin You was concerned about was not what the old wizard said, but what he didn't say. "You only evaluated his teaching ability, but not his teacher ethics... So he has problems in this area?" Lin You rolled his eyes and laughed slyly, "Tell me secretly, how many girlfriends does Constantine have among the young wizards, or does he have boyfriends?"

Although Earl Goff was smiling, the question he asked was very serious. Constantine was born in a "rotten country" and his adolescence coincided with the hippie movement and sexual liberation trend in the 1960s and 1970s in the Western world. Since his first appearance in the comics, he has been set up as a "popular with both men and women".

Dumbledore shook his head and smiled bitterly, but said nothing. To him, having a different sexual orientation was not a big problem, but no matter what the orientation was, it should not happen between students and teachers.

Seeing that the principal was avoiding the question, Lin You understood and comforted him, "It's okay. You won't have to worry about it in half a year. In the next six months, as long as the little witches in the school don't get pregnant before marriage or cause murders, your management work as the principal will be considered a success."

This consolation is so "sincere", but isn't this "success standard" a little too low?
Dumbledore's face became more serious, but also a little relieved, as if he had finally received the expected news. "Are you sure Constantine cannot serve for the second academic year? It seems that he is in a lot of trouble."

"Of course, it's very big." Lin You also responded solemnly, but he was not being mysterious. "The Vatican is determined to get him. In order to successfully contact Constantine, it did not hesitate to seek help from the Anglican Church and the British royal family. You should understand that the relationship between them is not that good. In order to get the Anglican Church and the royal family to help, the Vatican must have given up a lot of interests."

Dumbledore nodded slightly: "So, the patience of the Church can only last for another half a year at most?"

"The most important reason is that the current state of alert in Hogwarts cannot be maintained for long. After all, a school is a school. We cannot be drawn into a political whirlpool just because of a professor."
