0283 Willingness

 Most of the functional areas of Hogwarts are below the fifth floor, such as various classrooms, libraries, school doctors, etc.

It’s not that there is nothing on the eighth floor, but as a Slytherin, Marcus naturally will not go to the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw lounges, and he does not go to the Astronomy Tower on Saturdays and Sundays.

A good time in the Divination Classroom.

Of course, there's no rule that says you can't wander around the castle at will, but seeing how sneaky and anxious he looks, you can rule out this option.

Professor Flitwick's office is in the other direction, so there is only one room in use on the road in front of him - the office of the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

Aini hurriedly went downstairs to find an empty classroom. As soon as he entered the door, he turned over his left cuff and showed a hidden button. Then he took his food and pointed two fingers on it in reverse direction.

Silently, wisps of light poured out from the buttons and merged into a complex linear pattern in mid-air.

I am afraid that few people will recognize that this is the simple map on the seventh floor where Aini is located. There are two or three small dots representing characters, but he is not included.

Ani slid his finger, and the lines changed for a while and turned into a map on the eighth floor. As expected, the dot marking Marcus Flint moved forward slowly, and finally stopped in front of the Defense Against the Dark Arts office.<

/p>

When the dot representing Peter faced the door and the two names moved indoors, Ani also took steps towards the principal's office.

……

"Hi, Albus, how does it feel to be a vocational teacher again?"

Looking at a certain old fish monster who was busy grading homework, Ani couldn't help but make a joke.

"Well, the kids are very energetic, especially the two Weasleys."

Dumbledore dipped his hands in ink and wrote the last comment on the parchment.

"Need an automatic quill? I have a spare here."

Aini took a look, and with the rustle of the pen tip across the page, beautiful cursive characters fell on it one by one. Each word looked like a flower stretching its body.

"Thank you, but it's better for an old guy to get used to it."

The old man shook the quill in his hand and put the corrected page aside.

The perfectly arranged characters looked like exquisite works of art, but after reading the content inside, Aini couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. It is estimated that the recipient will not be in the mood to treat them as collectibles.

This senior professor of Transfiguration was unsurprisingly meticulous and to the point in correcting assignments, but... he was unexpectedly venomous.

The gentle words are like sharp arrows with barbs on them. Even Aini, a spectator, wants to tear them to pieces.

"I think...well...those kids will be grateful to you in the future."

Aini commented with a strange look on his face. After the old principal restarted the class, he went to sit in on the class out of curiosity. The old principal had solid skills, humorous words, and insightful explanations of knowledge. His words were very charming and made people feel like they were in the spring breeze.

feeling.

Who would have thought that when revising an assignment, the wording would be two extremes?

"Haha, but I think now, when they get the homework, they want to scratch my mouth."

The old man's eyes were dazed for a moment, as if he was thinking of the past. Then he opened the drawer with a loud laugh and took out two chocolate frogs.

"Well, the familiar smell is the most nostalgic."

Throwing one of the boxes to Ani, Dumbledore sighed, picked up the black frog's head, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Is it a familiar smell?"

Ani's eating style was not as unrestrained as Dumbledore's. He first tapped the chocolate frog's forehead to break the activation spell on it, and then took a bite.

"I'm afraid the grandfathers of those little guys are more familiar with the taste of your writing, but I guess they won't tell their grandchildren how they tore up their homework because of a comment when telling stories to their grandchildren."

"Some people did do this at first, so I later used some small tricks. If they want to tear the comments into pieces again, I'm afraid it won't be that easy in a short time."

The old man winked at Aini playfully, picked up his wand and drew a circle on the corrected homework, making the already strong parchment extremely strong.

"The children will hate you, Albus. Maybe it won't be long before you are no longer the amiable and lovable headmaster in their hearts."

Ani picked up a piece of parchment and tested the strength, as if he saw a scene of a little wizard with a blushing face, grabbing his homework and tearing it hard but unable to do anything.

"No, I am only responsible for the senior students, and they are not children anymore. Some of them are older than you."

After hearing Ani's words, Dumbledore couldn't help but complain. The little devil in front of him called others "children" too smoothly.

Aini was choked. Counting the years in his previous life, he had no problem calling Percy and others his children, but now he is just a young man who has just turned 18.

"Okay, you're right about the second half, but the first half...maybe someone will soon be responsible for all the Transfiguration courses themselves."

After finishing speaking, Aini did not show off, and directly stated the purpose of coming today.

"I want to ask for leave."

"Okay, how long will it take?"

Dumbledore didn't ask why, and simply approved Ani's vacation.

For Minerva, Filius, Sprout, etc., all the faculty and staff, including Aine, Dumbledore will regard them as friends, colleagues, or followers on the path of pursuing magic.

The successors of Torch, but they will not be regarded as subordinates.

He believed that Aini had his own judgment, and if it wasn't an urgent matter, he probably wouldn't ask for leave at this juncture.

The old man knew very well that Aini was different from Minerva in that he had never gone to school here. Just trying to tie him to the Hogwarts chariot with friendship was not reliable. If you want a stable relationship, you must have

Same interests.

As the saying goes, if one gains, both will be prosperous, and if one suffers, both will suffer.

If you want to achieve this, you must first ensure that the support Aini receives from Hogwarts is greater than the burden the school adds to him.

To put it bluntly, just listen to the saying "If you drink water, you will be warm". The most fundamental reason why Hogwarts can attract a group of top wizards is to provide them with the environment they want.

Thousands of years of accumulated magical knowledge, abundant resource reserves, natural ties from the same source, and the transcendent identity it can provide...

It is precisely because Hogwarts has what they want that it can retain talents.

Just like Voldemort used force to suppress others in his later period, the more force he exerts, the greater the rebound will be.

Either devour yourself or collapse the whole of England. In the end, no one will be the winner.

Whether it is Little Tom in the early stage, Grindelwald or Dumbledore, they will not force others to make choices, but will turn the results they hope to see into the optimal solution for the other party.

People may succumb to the oppression of powerful people, but they will definitely be more willing to follow their own choices.
