Head of Teaching at Hogwarts

After taking care of the matters at the Magic Factory, Russell stepped into the fireplace and returned to Hogwarts.

As soon as he walked out of the fireplace in the principal's office, Russell saw a fat owl flapping its wings through the transparent window, trying to find the entrance to the office.

Russell noticed that the owl was clutching a letter, and after using Quick Move through the window to confirm that it was not some strange Animagus, he opened the window.

The little guy didn't seem to react. His plump body suddenly lost its leverage outside the window, and he crashed directly in. He hit Russell's desk and rolled several times before standing up. He placed the envelope he was carrying in front of Russell, and then looked at Russell fawningly with an anthropomorphic expression.

What a cute chubby Scottish round-faced chicken!Fortunately you met me.Russell smiled, grabbed a large handful of snacks and dried fruits from his desk, placed them in front of the owl, and read the letter with a cooing sound.

"Principal Russell, my plantation is in serious need of dragon dung, especially for mandrakes. Dragon dung is almost the only suitable fertilizer as they grow.

In addition, I must remind you that although the current situation is very good, the issue of students being attacked by the petrification spell should be resolved as soon as possible.

Pomona Sprout. "

This letter came from Professor Pomona Sprout, the head of Hufflepuff. The letter was very short and did not pay much attention to the format. It was more like a note left behind after coming to the office to look for Russell but not finding him.

However, the content reminded Russell of the most important thing he needed to deal with at the moment - the student petrification incident.

This was the most important reason why he impeached Dumbledore on the Hogwarts School Board and ultimately put the Dumbledore process on hold, if he had made the same mistake.

Whether it was in terms of appearance or procedure, there was no reason for him to be the principal of Hogwarts anymore.

Solving the student petrification incident actually involves two things. The first is to restore the petrified little wizard to normal. Russell is not worried about this.

Hogwarts has Professor Sprout, perhaps the best herbal expert in the UK, and Potions Master Snape. These two people grew mandrakes and prepared them with powerful recovery potions. The petrified little wizards naturally Will recover from petrified state.

The second is to get rid of the basilisk in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets.

Basilisk?It seems that these are related to Voldemort's Horcrux. After traveling to this world for more than 20 years, Russell's memory can't help but be a little blurry.

So Russell decisively blocked all portraits, took out a small notebook from his pocket, and read it carefully.

What is recorded in the small book is not a forbidden curse, but the main plot of Harry Potter that Russell recorded through his memories after receiving the letter from Hogwarts in the orphanage when he was 11 years old.

A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. This little notebook has helped Russell make the best choice many times - such as taking advantage of this opportunity to drive away Dumbledore.

In Russell's view, this small book that allows him to predict the future is even more important than the golden finger of the system in many cases.

Five minutes later, Russell finally figured out the whole thing.

The petrification came from a basilisk in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets at Hogwarts. This basilisk was raised by Slytherin himself and has lived for an unknown number of years.

The person who released this basilisk to attack non-pure-blood wizards at Hogwarts was Ron's sister, a first-year witch named Ginny Weasley.

But the reason why she did this was because she was controlled by Voldemort's Horcrux, Riddle's diary.

So the root of everything is Voldemort's Horcrux.

However, it seems that destroying Horcruxes is not a simple matter. Horcruxes have strong protective capabilities, and only extremely powerful magic can destroy them.

And this involved Gryffindor's sword, and Russell couldn't remember the specific process.

His little notebook only said that Harry killed the basilisk with Gryffindor's sword and then destroyed the Horcrux.

However, Russell speculated that Harry himself definitely did not have such ability, and it was most likely that Dumbledore arranged this matter behind his back.

Dumbledore didn't seem to come forward directly. He probably left the Horcrux to Harry to level up.

Russell understood what Dumbledore was doing. In a prophecy made by a goddess, Harry and Voldemort were destined enemies. Only one of them could survive, and the one who died would definitely die at the hands of the other. .

Therefore, Dumbledore needs to level up Harry from the first grade, and finally even create conditions for Harry at the cost of his life.

From this perspective, Dumbledore is a very admirable person.

Although he no longer talks about the words "for the greater good" when he was young, he still uses his own life to annotate these words.

How to deal with this matter?

After carefully recalling the plot and thinking for a long time, Russell finally decided to let it go and let the plot follow its original trajectory.

Anyway, according to the original plot, the first few films also followed a relatively warm happy ending route, and apart from the villains in each film, there were no student casualties.

As long as there are no student casualties in Hogwarts, there should be no problem with his position as principal.

On the contrary, once he interferes too much with the plot, it may have unexpected consequences, and his advantage of understanding the future plot will no longer exist.

And the ability of the basilisk is not as simple as petrification. On the contrary, the basilisk's eyes can instantly kill any person or animal that makes eye contact with it.

In the original work, several young wizards were not directly killed by the basilisk, but were only petrified and survived in the end. This was because they had not been directly watched by the basilisk, and luck accounted for a large factor.

Moreover, even if he gets rid of the basilisk, Voldemort's Horcrux will still look for other things to achieve his goals.

As for destroying Voldemort's Horcrux in one step, Russell felt that it might be difficult for him to do it without the help of external force for the time being.

Most of his spell levels are still at level five, which is the level of the four deans of Hogwarts, which may not be enough in front of Voldemort.

As for finding the Sword of Gryffindor to kill the basilisk and directly destroy the Horcrux, Russell said that although he was the principal of Hogwarts, he really didn't know where the Sword of Gryffindor was.

Besides, even if he knew where Gryffindor's sword was, according to the law "Only a true Gryffindor can get Gryffindor's sword."

Russell didn't feel that he, a wizard who fully implemented Slytherin's core values, could afford the Sword of Gryffindor.

After figuring out the ins and outs of the petrification incident, Russell quickly began to deal with it.

First of all, Professor Sprout needed a large amount of dragon dung. Russell quickly wrote a reply and gave it to the fattened owl.

The answer was simple - go to Professor McGonagall and give the owl the copy of "Heredity, Evolution and Artificial Breeding" that you had chosen.

As for the Horcrux, Russell looked at the time, it was the end of get out of class, snapped his fingers, and a few seconds later a blond wizard appeared in front of Russell.

"Hello, Mr. Russell."

"Hello, Professor Illidan." Russell looked at Illidan who had turned into Lockhart and teased, "Help me monitor Ginny Weasley, a first-year Gryffindor witch. As Lockhart, don't let yourself be exposed."

"Your will is everything, Mr. Russell!"

"Go down." Following Russell's order, Illidan, who looked like Lockhart, bowed and disappeared.
