Mixed With Marvel's Hogwarts Professor

Chapter 140 Member of Hogwarts Honorary Council

"ah"

Lockhart's question obviously made Professor McGonagall stunned and a little surprised.

After thinking about it, I understood Lockhart's idea.

This is going to steal the city directly!

but

It would be nice if Lockhart did join the school council.

Unexpectedly, Lockhart's title at Hogwarts and his usual generosity, Professor McGonagall nodded secretly.

pity

"Definitely all right, Lockhart."

"However, if you want to join the school board, I'm afraid it will be very difficult."

Professor McGonagall replied slowly.

"Na Minerva, don't worry, please introduce me to the school board."

Lockhart asked directly.

He was a little curious about the Hogwarts board of trustees.

His knowledge of the world of Harry Potter is only limited to the movies he watched in his previous life.

The board of trustees had heard of it, but didn't know much about it.

However, he is very clear about one thing, that is, when Hogwarts was founded, there was no such thing as a school board.

I don't know when it popped up, it is said that the influence is not small.

Combining these things today, the future is likely to be a disaster.

It's better to get rid of it as soon as possible.

Regarding Lockhart's request, Professor McGonagall recalled the information about the school board, and introduced directly and directly: "The school board, the official name is the Hogwarts School Board."

"Actually, Hogwarts didn't have such things as a school board before."

"However, at the end of the last century, Hogwarts had a financial crisis and almost closed down."

"Later, Principal Armando Dippet thought of a way to solve the crisis, that is, through the channel of the Ministry of Magic, to obtain the support of Jin Gallon and other resources."

"That's how the school board came into being. There are 12 necromancers in the school board, all of them are necromancers from pure-blood families."

"Only they have the ability to donate a certain amount of funds to Hogwarts every year to ensure the normal operation of the school."

"As a result, they can supervise the operation of Hogwarts School, and also have certain rights to appoint or temporarily suspend the headmaster."

"So, their influence on Hogwarts is not small." After listening to Professor McGonagall's introduction, Lockhart briefly concluded.

"Yes, indeed." Professor McGonagall nodded slightly, agreeing: "After all, the school can't leave Jin Gallon, otherwise it won't be able to operate normally, let alone teach little necromancers."

In this regard, Lockhart nodded slightly, expressing his understanding.

No matter which world you are in, those who hold financial power always have a greater right to speak.

Especially for non-profit institutions like schools, financial rights will become more important.

Especially top schools like Qingbei, when he remembered his previous life, the Ministry of Education invested at least tens of billions every year. Note that this was just one school.

A family will cost tens of billions, and the country will start with at least 5 trillion.

It is conceivable how much money is consumed by a school, especially a top school?

The more funds are consumed, the more dependent on the demand for funds, and the more powerful those who hold financial power have the right to speak.

Otherwise, why would a school board of directors still be able to remove Dumbledore from his position later?

In the final analysis, Hogwarts is still too dependent on the funds of the school board.

Thinking of this, Lockhart thought deeply.

suddenly

"Minerva, how many Galleons are the Council providing to Hogwarts each year?"

Regarding Lockhart's question, Professor McGonagall changed his expression, thought for a moment, and roughly estimated, "Lockhart, because Hogwarts also has some profit channels."

"However, despite this, the school council will provide Hogwarts with roughly 3,000 gold Galleons every year."

hiss!

Hearing Professor McGonagall's answer, Lockhart gasped.

3000 Gold Galleons, repaid every year.

Is the consumption of Hogwarts education so terrible?

He made a rough calculation, and according to his original wealth, he would have to persevere for four or five years at most before becoming a pauper.

And that group of school boards has persisted for almost a hundred years, no wonder there are 12 pure-blood families.

Ordinary families can't afford it either.

Don't forget, Hogwarts is not a for-profit institution, it is a school that cannot be swallowed.

The necromancers cultivated are all free men.

However, this school board is indeed a troublesome thing, if it replaces the school board to provide funds for Hogwarts.

Don't mention Dumbledore, do you believe these people?

The school board will never give up, let alone the Ministry of Magic.

The twists and turns here will only make it more troublesome.

After thinking for a moment, Lockhart's eyes lit up, and he thought of a good plan.

"Minerva, if you donate to Hogwarts for a certain amount of Galleon, can you get some honorary title?"

Speaking of this, Lockhart also explained to Professor McGonagall: "In this case, the school board will use this as an excuse later, and I can also fight with them here."

With such an explanation, Professor McGonagall instantly understood, and secretly praised Lockhart for his intelligence.

With the matter of donations, there is room for justification for the matter of recruiting assistants in the name of Hogwarts later.

After all, Lockhart donated money, so what if he used the name of Hogwarts?

Doesn’t the school board gain corresponding influence because of donations?

If this is also denied, it is tantamount to denying the foundation of the existence of the school management committee.

In this way, there is room for arguing, and once arguing, it can only be shelved.

but

"Lockhart, how many Galleons are you going to donate?"

"This year, donate 600 Galleons first, and then donate 300 Galleons every year." Lockhart replied according to his own idea.

Since he had to do something, he simply had to do it to the extreme so that no one could find an excuse.

600 Gold Galleons, which is equivalent to 1/5 of the school board's annual donation.

The next 300 pieces per year are basically equivalent to the amount donated by a pure-blood family, or even slightly higher.

In this way, let's see what those pure-blood families say.

As for Gallon, don't forget, he just ransacked Bella's vault.

Among them, not only Bella's, but also the wealth accumulated by the Lestrange family over the years, and some of Voldemort's wealth.

He estimated that there are more than 100,000 gold Galleons alone, not to mention those Precious magic items.

Let him not have to worry about Jin Gallon's affairs in a short time.

Not to mention, if his coin minting plan is successful, Jin Gallon will be fine.

When Professor McGonagall heard the amount of Lockhart's donation, his eyes lit up instantly, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

Lockhart deserves to be known as a local tyrant at Hogwarts. This is really generous, not to mention that he will provide 300 gold galleons every year.

She has now conceived what to buy for this batch of Jin Galleons? What materials do you want to buy?

Looks like the school's Quidditch field could use some repairs, and some magic brooms, some of which are in tatters.

Thoughts flashed in his mind, Professor McGonagall said with a smile: "In that case, Lockhart, I'll go back and discuss it with the principal."

"See if I can get you an honorary board member."

"Although it is certainly not possible to have the corresponding rights."

"But this way, I believe it will be more beneficial to you."

Hearing Professor McGonagall's reply, Lockhart had a bright smile on his face.

Professor McGonagall, you can hand it in!

Well, he remembered that Professor McGonagall liked Quidditch games, and he could give some Quidditch tickets or other gifts at that time.
