The dinner for the beginning of the semester is about to begin. According to the procedure, there will be a sorting ceremony first, followed by a speech by the principal. If there are new professors, there will also be a welcome process, and then you can start eating.
But this year is obviously a little different.
Oh, of course, not what the twins George and Fred were expecting, with the Sorting Hat shouting 'Azkaban' and all that weird stuff.
The person in charge of receiving new students this year is no longer Professor McGonagall, but has been replaced by Professor Snape. At this moment, he is leading the new students in from a side door and standing in the corner between the dean's table and the professor's platform of the four universities.
inside.
On the high platform, Dumbledore looked at everyone with a smile.
"Welcome new students!"
As he spoke, the orchestra conducted by Professor Flitwick in the corner fell silent.
"We also welcome old students, welcome back."
Dumbledore supported the podium with both hands, wearing a pink wizard robe inlaid with a silver meteor pattern, his silver hair and beard hanging down, and his eyes looking at everyone through moon-shaped glasses, his eyes full of emotion.
"I think this year is special. The world is changing too fast. Anton led many people to the moon, Voldemort plans to establish a wizard army in America, and the Ministry of Magic in various countries is in chaos."
"As the chief wizard of the International Federation of Wizards, I think I no longer have enough energy to focus everything on the school. It is time to step down as the principal of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
Boom~
All the little wizards in the audience started talking.
This was not the first experience like this. When Dumbledore was declared seriously ill, the school directors came to the school to preside over important events and elected Lockhart as the principal.
This happened only a few years ago.
But now that we have experienced something like this again, many people still cannot accept it for a while.
Such as Harry Potter.
Of course, this is Dumbledore's decision, and he won't think about who can't accept it and who can.
"I have been at Hogwarts for nearly a hundred years, teaching students one after another." Dumbledore recalled the past, with a smile on his face, and looked at the students in the audience mischievously.
, "Many of your parents, even your grandparents, were my students back then."
"I consider Hogwarts my home..."
"But I think, not just me, many people regard Hogwarts as their home."
"Professor McGonagall has no less affection for the school than I do. Especially in the past few decades, I often have to travel far away for various things. Professor McGonagall is responsible for everything in the school."
"I think this kind of handover is destined to be smooth, and Professor McGonagall will become a better principal than me."
"Let us welcome, Headmaster Minerva McGonagall!"
Dumbledore obviously didn't want to make too many remarks about his departure. More emotions had been released bit by bit as he entered the Magic Academy in the last few months of the last school year.
He is obviously an extremely stable person. He has established the director of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and even brought Professor McGonagall to operate it personally.
In other words, Professor McGonagall will not experience the same situation as him being restricted by school directors.
What's more, at the end of the last school year, he had actually completely delegated his power and moved to the school's Magic Academy, completely entering the state of resignation, handing over everything he was responsible for as the principal.
It's been a long enough time, and there's no need to cry while reminiscing about the past at the opening dinner of the new school year.
It's too sentimental. The older I get, the less I can stand it.
As everyone applauded, Professor McGonagall stood up, nodded to Dumbledore, and came to the podium solemnly, "Professor Dumbledore has not left Hogwarts, he will become a researcher in magic."
The dean of the hospital..."
Anton sat under the stage, quietly looking at Professor McGonagall on the stage, thinking about the question Hannah just raised.
Professor McGonagall manages everything in the school as the vice-principal, which is completely different from Professor McGonagall becoming the principal.
Yes, nothing seems to have changed.
But everyone will have their own opinions, which stem from everyone's own inner world view.
No matter how much Dumbledore does, Hogwarts will still follow Dumbledore's rules when he is the principal.
And Professor McGonagall obviously has her own rules.
For example, Professor McGonagall would break the rules and allow Harry Potter to enter Gryffindor House against the rules, and spend money to buy Harry the fastest broomstick at the time, the Nimbus 2000.
That kind of approach is like Dumbledore's rule that minors are not allowed to participate in car racing. Professor McGonagall not only allowed minors to participate, but also bought the minor a top-notch supercar when everyone was racing in Wuling vans.
This is a very interesting thing.
Professor Dumbledore, who is somewhat childish and likes to eat sweets, actually obeys the rules the most.
But Professor McGonagall, who always had a straight face and spoke crisply, didn't care so much about rules.
Oh, maybe it can't be that general.
A more accurate statement is that these two have different rules in different aspects.
They believe that some rules must be followed and some rules cannot be violated.
Such as night walks and peeking at banned books.
So, although Azkaban Academy is called the 'fifth academy', the school has actually never intervened and allowed Anton to make his own decisions. In the era of Principal McGonagall, how did the school view this academy?
?
Maybe it's time to detach Azkaban Academy from the school.
Or, the academy is given to the school, and the members of the hut break away from the academy and form their own school.
Anyway, it is just a name and has no assets in itself.
…
After dinner, before curfew.
The members of the hut gathered again in the stable valley on the edge of the Forbidden Forest.
"I think, even if it is similar, the framework of the Magic Congress is not suitable for us." Anton set the tone for this matter.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He looked at everyone seriously, "The Magical Congress is built on power and interests, and our organization is built on magic."
"That's the biggest difference."
"We control magical animal breeding farms, herbal cultivation bases, various processing factories, sales channels for magic materials, etc..."
Anton took the black tea from Anna's hand, took a sip, and continued, "This does not mean that we want to control the market, or participate in other people's games from a financial perspective!"
"We all know that what we have in our hands is more of a hope that it will serve our magic experiments and the magic products we are eager to share with the world."
"Similarly, the magical research in our cabin will not be the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic. We are not mysterious. We are eager to spread our magical ideas to everyone, and we hope that more people will know this magical knowledge."
"We even long for more people to master these magics."
"That's why we built Azkaban Academy."
"Its role is to spread knowledge to the world, not to train our staff or future members."
September in the depths of the Black Sea has cooled down, and the autumn wind blows with the gentle sea breeze, making the bonfire make a beeping sound.
Burnt ashes of vegetation floated into the sky with the wind, like fireflies.
Each member of the hut is telling his or her own thoughts.
"Hannah's suggestion made us uncomfortable for a while." George shrugged, "We don't like working in the Ministry of Magic, let alone becoming senior officials of an organization similar to the Ministry of Magic."
"Yes." Fred looked at everyone, "We like magic, long for freedom, and prefer to only do things we like. Researching funny magic props will make us happy, and cultivating interesting magical creatures will make us happy...
…”
"But for the benefit of the organization, we have to do some things that make us unhappy..." George looked at the bonfire with dim eyes and spoke his inner thoughts quietly.
He raised his head and looked at everyone, "I like what Anton said. We are not based on interests and rights, but on magic. We like magic!"
"Quack quack..."
Anton raised his eyebrows at him, "I like magic too!"
Maybe that's why these people are together, maybe that's why it's so difficult for the hut to blend in with other people.
There are too few people in this world who don't care about power and interests.
Perhaps, Ron and Goyle are also good options, and everyone agrees to accept these two friends into the cabin.
As for other people, like Draco, Hermione, Lockhart, and Fudge, they can't fit in.
But the cabin doesn't care about people coming to share their glory, and it also needs people to come and help participate in more things, so Navigator is the place for them to go.
"Incorporate magic factories, magic material channels, moon channel operations, etc..."
"Those who can bring power and benefits are all included in the navigation team. We will assess them and confirm what they are responsible for."
"The magic academy, magic library, shelter tower, etc. are all classified into the cabin..."
Each of you spoke to me and sorted out the framework of the power bit by bit.
Hannah suddenly sat up straight in a very ritualistic manner and asked everyone, "So, how about giving our organization a name? It can't be called 'The Cabin and the Navigators', right?"
This matter is really embarrassing for my friends.
Look at the names everyone usually gives - George and Fred named the small velvet they cultivated 'Pidgey Pu', and named the candies they used to skip class as 'Fever Candy', 'Blood Collapse Bean', and 'Coma Flower'.
sugar'……
Hannah and Neville named the magical plant 'Free Snot Bubble'...
As for Anton, Hannah has been complaining about Anton’s naming of ‘hut’ and ‘navigator’, which are not epic at all, and will not be a sincere shock to others when they mention them in the future.
Finally, Anna tried to think about it and asked hesitantly, "Forerunner?"
"Great!" George, Fred and Anton said in unison.
"Forerunner! I think it's okay!" Hannah looked at Neville and saw him nodding. She excitedly picked up the quill on the stone beside her and quickly wrote down in her notebook, "Oh, I'm starting to look forward to it.
