"Oh, by the way, thank you for the gift. I like it very much." Professor McGonagall looked at Bree kindly, smiled and turned to leave.
Bree bought gifts for many professors at the beginning of school, and the professors liked them all. Even Snape couldn't refuse the precious potion ingredients.
Returning to the corridor outside the turret, because few people visit here, the torches around are a bit old.
"Perhaps we'll have to ask Filch to replace some equipment."
Bree used the unlocking spell to open the door, but the dust thrown out from the crack of the door stopped Bree a little.
Cleaned up!
After a spell passed, Bree stepped into it.
This place is very wide, but it is full of messy tables, chairs and alchemy equipment. It is a mess. It can be seen that Hogwarts has not used this place for a long time.
Bree waved her hand, and the large windows in the classroom were opened, letting in the wind and sunlight.
Then the transformation of elements was used to transform all the alchemy tools, tables and chairs here into brand new tables, chairs and decorations.
Silver-green intertwined vines spread from the ground, constantly weaving exquisite patterns on the walls. After Buri dropped a sapling, the sapling grew in the wind and grew stronger on the professor's podium. Buri opened the wall.
, let the tree trunk escape, and then transformed a new podium on the tree trunk.
The silver-green lines throughout the classroom began to blend with the tree, and streams of magic continued to flow out, circulating in the lines, filling the entire classroom with natural magic.
This tree is a natural tree cultivated by the flower elves of Burrang. It can emit natural magic. It is also good to put in the classroom, so that the little wizards can better understand the power of natural magic.
…
In Dumbledore's office, Professor McGonagall was talking to Dumbledore about the back-to-school dinner later. Professor McGonagall was obviously unhappy and seemed to be offended by someone.
"Dumbledore, are you sure that the woman named Umbridge is qualified for this job?"
McGonagall has already seen that Umbridge is a very mean person. In her, McGonagall does not see any tolerance that a professor should have.
Moreover, this guy has not even passed the teacher assessment, so no one knows whether she can be a teacher.
Regarding this, Mag expressed great concern.
"You should trust the Ministry of Magic. After all, we can't find a better professor for Defense Against the Dark Arts. We can't live without this course. This is something we all know."
"Of course, you are the principal, and it is you who make the decision on the appointment and dismissal of teachers." Professor McGonagall still couldn't agree with Umbridge's existence. She only hoped that Umbridge could have some skills and would not embarrass Hogwarts.
"Haha, of course, but I think it's time for me to retire. For example, this year, it would be great to announce it soon."
"What!"
Professor McGonagall was shocked and looked at Dumbledore in disbelief.
"You heard it right, Minerva, it's indeed time for me to retire. There will always be a day when I grow old."
"No, Dumbledore, that's not now." Professor McGonagall had not yet recovered from the news that Dumbledore wanted to abdicate, and she was stumbling when she spoke.
Facing Professor McGonagall's objection, Dumbledore smiled and said: "I must choose a successor for Hogwarts. This is something everyone agrees on."
Professor McGonagall was silent, and she asked cautiously: "So who do you want to take over your class?"
"Brie Ord."
Dumbledore said in a very affirmative tone, and Professor McGonagall was silent for a moment when he heard the name, and then said: "Brie is just a child now, and he doesn't know much about Hogwarts yet.
Not familiar with it, we should give him time to adapt to everything in Hogwarts."
"Of course, this is a sure thing, we should give Bree this chance." Dumbledore smiled.
He continued: "So I decided to temporarily hand over the position of Headmaster of Hogwarts to you."
"I hope you can let Oded know everything about Hogwarts during my absence."
"Where are you going, Dumbledore?" Professor McGonagall asked.
Dumbledore coughed and whispered: "Grindelwald has been missing since he left Nurmengard, but we all know that he cannot come out forever, so I must prepare as soon as possible to prevent the situation from happening.
The point of no return.”
Dumbledore's eyes were full of helplessness.
"Are you going to reopen the Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore?"
Professor McGonagall was also a member of the Order of the Phoenix, so she naturally knew what Dumbledore wanted to do. She frowned, but she also understood that opening the Order of the Phoenix at this time was indeed a good choice.
"Then do as you say, Dumbledore, and I will train Bree well."
There was a fighting spirit in Professor McGonagall's eyes, and she expressed great expectations for Bree to become the principal.
"We can't tell him about this yet, Minerva, it's a surprise." Dumbledore's eyes flashed with malice.
Professor McGonagall also nodded and smiled slightly.
Dumbledore stood up and said to Professor McGonagall: "I have to go to Nurmengard. The Ministry of Magic there has already greeted me." Dumbledore looked a little helpless. It was obvious that he didn't want to go there.
But because of Grindelwald's affairs, he had to go there, otherwise the international situation would become serious.
After the news of Grindelwald's escape from Nurmengard came out, wizards in some places cheered.
Saints, the wizards who were with Grindelwald back then have become old people now, but the age of the wizards is definitely not what they seem.
If Grindelwald wanted, he could easily form a team and quickly take the wizarding world by storm.
His ideas were so attractive to wizards at that time that even Dumbledore was once obsessed with them.
"Fortunately, he failed. Having a past failure will make wizards hesitate about his correctness and future possibilities."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Through the portkey, Dumbledore soon arrived in Nurmengard, Austria. At this time, there were still many local wizards stationed here. As for
Does it work?
Maybe just to reassure myself.
If it weren't for the sake of saving face, I'm afraid the Austrian Ministry of Magic would have to move here. After all, they thought that a proud man like Grindelwald would never return to the collapsed Nurmengard Tower.
"Dumbledore!"
Dumbledore faced the Austrian Minister of Magic, and he smiled kindly: "I think you have investigated some clues, right?"
The local Austrian Minister of Magic scratched his head in embarrassment. He coughed and said, "Sorry, Grindelwald hasn't moved in decades, so we temporarily separated the Aurors guarding this place."
Grindelwald's caretaker?
Everyone at the top of the Ministry of Magic knows why Grindelwald was imprisoned.
The Aurors standing guard are of no use.
Dumbledore frowned.
"I mean the current news about Grindelwald, I hope you are not in vain."
Seeing Dumbledore's seriousness, Austria's Minister of Magic immediately said: "We have discovered something, that is, Grindelwald does not seem to have contacted the saints and has left Austria."
The Austrian Minister of Magic's eyes flickered and said: "We are not sure where he went."
No news...
This made Dumbledore a little disappointed, but also a little strange.
Austria's Minister of Magic guessed: "Could it be that Grindelwald got tired of staying and left Austria?"
Dumbledore looked at the minister, then closed his eyes and said, "No, he can't leave here unless he has new ideas."
Dumbledore knew Grindelwald very well, so he immediately said: "I hope your Ministry of Magic can unite to find traces of Grindelwald. If you have any news, please contact me."
It's time for Dumbledore to go back. He came here just to express his opinion. Soon his ideas will spread throughout the European wizarding world.
And the European wizarding community will invite him again.
"Of course, we will send the news as soon as possible, just don't worry."
The Minister of Magic nodded and bowed, and then Dumbledore left.
Today is the first day of school at Hogwarts, and Dumbledore doesn't want to miss it. Besides, today is a very meaningful moment.
The handover of the principal is a big deal.
…
In Hogwarts, the little wizard has arrived at Hogwarts Castle through the arrangement of Professor Flitwick. However, the topic of discussion at this time is not the little wizard, but Bree sitting on the teacher's bench.
Of course, a fat woman wearing a pink jumpsuit and a hip-hugging skirt not far from Bri was also mentioned a word or two.
Umbridge was a little unhappy listening to the voices below, because she thought that as a senior official of the Ministry of Magic, she was the more focused person.
"Ahem!"
Umbridge coughed twice, but the little wizard underneath had no tendency to stop.
"Quiet!" She stood up and shouted, and the little wizards who didn't know why were stunned.
She sat down satisfied.
But soon more heated discussions broke out, and no one cared about Umbridge at all.
Of course, except for some little snakes who know Umbridge's identity.
But the little snakes are taciturn, so they can't tell much.
Umbridge's face looked frighteningly foul, and when Dumbledore arrived, Umbridge was not causing trouble.
"Let's get started, Minerva," Dumbledore said to Professor McGonagall. After hearing Dumbledore's words, Professor McGonagall immediately got up and left the hall. She needed to go to the front hall to pick up the newly admitted children.
Then, Dumbledore looked at Bree.
"I'm glad you came as promised, Professor Oded." Dumbledore laughed.
"Also, thank you for the dragon's blood, which has a great effect on my injuries."
Bu looked at Dumbledore's arm, lowered his eyes and said, "Do you need help?"
Dumbledore shook his head slightly.
"I can handle it. Those Inferi are not scary things." As a great wizard, Dumbledore is confident in handling this annoying curse.
Soon, Professor McGonagall brought all the little wizards in, and Dumbledore also stood up.
However, he did not immediately take the sorting hat to sort the houses, but asked Professor McGonagall to stand over.
"Students, we need to confirm one thing before school starts. Come here, everyone!" Dumbledore spread his hands and greeted everyone.
Dumbledore smiled as he saw the little wizards being attracted by his words.
"There must be many little wizards who have seen something unusual."
Dumbledore looked at Bree with a hint of hope in his eyes.
"We have ushered in a new class, which is unprecedented and will change the future of the wizarding world."
The little wizards below started to commotion. They were just guessing at first, but now it seems that it is true.
Bree became a professor at Hogwarts, a fifth-year student.
There was a notice before, so the little wizards accepted it quickly.
"Yes!" Dumbledore said immediately: "We have welcomed the new course of Natural Magic, and we are honored to have invited Mr. Bree Olde, who will serve as the professor of our new course."
"Furthermore, because of Bri Old's outstanding achievements, on behalf of Hogwarts, I would like to say that Bri Old has completed her course at Hogwarts and received an outstanding graduation transcript!"
After Dumbledore finished speaking, he immediately applauded. When the young wizards below heard Dumbledore's words, they also immediately applauded.
Some excited little wizards even raised their hands in the air and cheered.
Especially the Weiss twins, they loved to join in the fun and started chanting Brie's name.
"Ahem!" Umbridge frowned upon seeing this and coughed twice, but the cheers around him had buried his voice under the table, which made Umbridge's face even more ugly.
Dumbledore pressed his hand, but before the little wizards could recover from the surprise, he immediately used magic.
"Okay, we have to add something. Because of the special donation from the Ode family, the textbooks for this course do not need to be paid for by the little wizard. I think I will let Professor Ode do it."
Dumbledore signaled to Bree, who nodded with a smile and stood up from the professor's chair.
"I am very happy to serve as Professor of Natural Magic at Hogwarts. The classroom is located on the east side of the top floor of the East Tower, which can be accessed from Gryffindor Tower and Ravenclaw Tower."
Bri first made it clear where the class would be held, and then said: "All prefects from fifth to seventh grade, please go to the classroom to pick up the textbooks from this college."
After Bree finished speaking, she sat down.
The applause and cheers below were even louder.
However, there are some depressed voices, because the previous statement from Hogwarts made it very clear that as students in the first to fourth years, they can only learn the guided magic part of the basics of natural magic by themselves, and they cannot officially come into contact with natural magic until the fifth grade.
As for the rest, no one asked Bree whether he was qualified to be a professor, because anyone who asked this was a fool.
"Wait a minute, Dumbledore... and Mr. Oldard." Umbridge stood up from the professor's chair.
There was a disgusting look of contempt and displeasure on her face.
"I think Hogwarts did not notify the Ministry of Magic about the addition of new professors, and did not even make it clear about such a major matter as adding courses. I think this course is unreasonable and has not passed the Ministry of Magic."
After she finished speaking, she immediately raised her short and fat chin and said very sharply: "I am Dolores Umbridge, a senior official of the Ministry of Magic, and I have the authority to announce."
Umbridge looked at Bree and smiled arrogantly.
"I declare that the natural magic course is cancelled. I'm sorry, I think you have to go down. This is not what a student should..."
