Hogwarts Crawler

The memory just now flashed away, and Professor Dumbledore was now sitting on the sofa, looking at the student who seemed a little strange in front of him.

"What do you want to do?"

Looking at Adam, Professor Dumbledore seemed to know him for the first time.

"I want to be the headmaster of Hogwarts."

Adam said bluntly.

Professor Dumbledore was silent for a while, and then he wondered if he was too old and hard of hearing:

"... What?"

"I said, I want to be the headmaster of Hogwarts."

Adam looked at Professor Dumbledore, and the seriousness in his eyes made Dumbledore unable to ignore:

"I have to say that I have some complaints about your handling of the affairs between Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic during your tenure. Now that you have resigned, how about I take over next?"

"... What do you want to do?"

The same question, but not the same thing.

"I want to protect Hogwarts."

Adam said this with a righteous voice:

"I don't think it's a good idea to let the Ministry of Magic take over Hogwarts. Do you really think it's a good idea to let Umbridge be the headmaster?"

Professor Dumbledore's mind is trapped by his moral shackles. Even if he knows that the Ministry of Magic is doing something wrong, he doesn't want those students to learn to resist the Ministry of Magic - he doesn't want others to think that resisting the Ministry of Magic is the right thing to do, even if the Ministry of Magic is wrong, so he left Hogwarts to the Ministry of Magic.

"You should know that Umbridge can't really become the headmaster of Hogwarts, even if there is a transfer order from the Ministry of Magic..."

When Hogwarts was established, the Ministry of Magic didn't know where it was. The inheritance of the headmaster of Hogwarts relies on the ancient contract magic.

"Then will you still exercise your duties as the headmaster in secret, protect Hogwarts, and keep everyone from being controlled by the Ministry of Magic?"

Facing Adam's eyes, Professor Dumbledore was silent.

The reason why he escaped from Hogwarts was to avoid being constrained by the Ministry of Magic so that he could concentrate on running the Order of the Phoenix to fight Voldemort.

And although the Ministry of Magic wants to control Hogwarts, it will at least ensure the safety of the students in Hogwarts... Professor Dumbledore thinks so.

"I can, Professor Dumbledore... Leave Hogwarts to me, I will ensure the safety of Hogwarts and prevent any enemy from affecting the stability in Hogwarts."

The first half of this sentence is easy to say, but the second half...

"Is the Ministry of Magic also the enemy you mentioned?"

Really sharp, Professor Dumbledore...

"Yes."

Facing the serious Professor Dumbledore, Adam's expression also became serious:

"Stubborn, corrupt, power-hungry..."

"They will change."

"When? What about the children who were destroyed during this period? Do you know that Umbridge is maliciously punishing students, Professor Dumbledore?"

Adam threw a feather pen on the table.

With Professor Dumbledore's knowledge, he could tell what the magic on the quill was used for even without using it.

"Compared to the children in Hogwarts who still have infinite hope, are those already formed bugs worthy of waiting for them to change in pain?"

"So? Are you going to kill those 'bugs'?"

"That's too extreme, and someone is planning to do it, so I don't have to worry about it, right?"

Professor Dumbledore's pupils shrank:

"You..." Are you going to use Voldemort's hand to clean up the Ministry of Magic?

With a thought, Professor Dumbledore thought of more things at once, such as why Grindelwald was sitting next to him with a look of no surprise...

Professor Dumbledore held the Elder Wand.

"Are you going to attack me, Professor Dumbledore?"

Adam raised his hand and summoned the Dark Staff:

"Before you hand over the position of the headmaster to me, you should indeed prove my strength to you. However, this place is not suitable for fighting. Let's go to another place."

...

"Disarm you!"

After taking the Elder Wand, Adam touched it and felt that it was indeed different from the last time.

Turning the Elder Wand back to Professor Dumbledore, Adam smiled slightly:

"Are you satisfied with my strength?"

Professor Dumbledore stood up silently with Adam's strength.

Just now, Adam stood there and let him attack. All kinds of magic could not break through the protective magic around Adam. Then Adam released a magic, and he suddenly couldn't use the spell. Then Adam cast a disarming spell... and then there was nothing else.

For the first time, Professor Dumbledore found that he actually couldn't understand magic.

"Why did you go with Grindelwald, Adam?"

DumbledoreProfessor Dumbledore sighed, looking at Adam with a solemn and sad look:

"Can't wizards and Muggles maintain the status quo?"

"Although I don't know what you have in mind, Professor Dumbledore, you are probably overthinking."

Adam frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head:

"I haven't thought that far yet. Now I just want Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic to become what they should be."

Professor Dumbledore: "......?"

"Then you and Grindelwald..."

"I made a deal with Mr. Grindelwald..."

Adam glanced at Grindelwald, whose expression was a little bit tense, and smiled slightly:

"I think Grindelwald is a very good candidate for the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, what do you think?"

Grindelwald: ? ? ?

"If I want to start a war like Mr. Grindelwald, how can Fox help me?"

Adam smiled at Fox.

There is no doubt that Fox thinks Adam's plan is much more reliable than Professor Dumbledore's plan.

"Professor Dumbledore, give me the position of the headmaster."

Looking at Professor Dumbledore, Adam spoke again:

"I will protect the students. At least during their stay at Hogwarts, I can ensure that Hogwarts is safe, whether it is the Ministry of Magic or the Death Eaters, even if Voldemort comes."

Professor Dumbledore hesitated for a moment and said:

"If you become the headmaster, parents will not trust you, and those children will be forced to return to their homes... Do you want to force them to stay in Hogwarts?"

"You and Mr. Grindelwald's thinking... are really synchronized."

Adam looked at Grindelwald and sighed, then looked at Dumbledore. Professor Dumbledore:

"I will conceal my identity as the headmaster. It is enough for the four deans to know my identity. In this way, parents will think that Hogwarts is still under the protection of the Ministry of Magic, and the Ministry of Magic will let them think so."

After closing his eyes and thinking for a long time, Professor Dumbledore opened his eyes and looked at Adam, with deep fatigue in his eyes:

"Okay... But before that, there is another question."

"What is the question?"

"You are still a student of Hogwarts, and students cannot be headmasters. This is one of the ancient contracts of Hogwarts."

"...So?"

"So, when are you going to graduate from Hogwarts?"
