Settle at Hogwarts

"Professor, they have provided galleons, and it is certain that they want to enjoy some privileges. Unless other benefits can be given to them, or Hogwarts no longer needs their funding, it will be difficult to completely escape their control."

Dumbledore said nothing, he naturally knew what Tubo meant.

However, he did not want to bow to those nobles, and there was no reason to compromise.

"That's all. I have a descendant of a friend who is a squib. I will make him the administrator. There will also be someone to replace the divination professor mentioned before."

After leaving Dumbledore's office, Tubb received several more letters from Slytherin parents.

Although Slughorn is still the Head of Slytherin, he has handed over a large part of his power to Tubo.

In his words, it was just to have more time to hold banquets.

But Tabor knew that this was laying the foundation for him to become the principal in the future. At least with the support of a large number of pure-blood families, he would never be choked by the board of directors because of Gallon.

Many upstarts who lack fame are very coveted for seats on the Hogwarts School Board!

Tubber had already anticipated the difference in philosophy from Dumbledore.

Although Dumbledore is not as smart as Gryffindor, he still bears the mark of Gryffindor.

Time passed quickly, and by the time Dumbledore officially resigned, it was already after Christmas in 1970.

"Tabor, I always thought that I would stay at Hogwarts and teach students all my life. I would also atone for the wrong things I have done."

Feeling the cold wind mixed with fine snow blowing in from the window of the principal's office, Tabor couldn't help but frown.

"Remember the first time we chatted at Two Broomsticks?"

Dumbledore directed the cherry juice on the table to float in front of Tubber.

"Of course, I remember I said at that time that I wanted to be a professor at Hogwarts."

After Tabor took a sip of the cold liquid, he exhaled a long breath of white mist.

"This weather is more suitable for butterbeer, or firewhiskey."

Dumbledore chuckled: "Sorry, I didn't think carefully."

Tabor put down the cup and asked directly: "Professor, you came to me just to reminisce about the past. Maybe you can tell me what you are going to do in the future?"

Dumbledore closed the window and walked to the sofa to sit down.

"I borrowed the invisibility cloak from the Potter family and prepared to go to the world of the dead to make up for my past mistakes."

Tubo didn't get to the bottom of it. In fact, he knew very well what Dumbledore wanted to do.

"How sure are you?"

"No."

Tabor pursed his lips and asked tentatively: "What if there is a resurrection stone?"

"Deathly Hallows?"

Tabor nodded: "Yes, it's just that I sealed the Resurrection Stone. It seems to have been tampered with."

Dumbledore hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

"Forget it, I've decided to take a trip. If I die, you might be able to try the resurrection stone."

Tabor pouted, he wouldn't want to resurrect an old bee!

"I came to you today just to talk about Hogwarts."

Dumbledore glanced at the portraits of past principals on the wall behind him.

They are all looking at Tabor, who is about to take over here.

"Every principal has a different style, and I do want to reform Hogwarts. The biggest problem here is probably that it is too traditional."

"Traditions? I thought you would like those traditions!"

"The essence still needs to be retained, and some dross should be eliminated bit by bit. But as a school, the most important thing is a safe and pure learning environment."

A flash of recognition flashed across Dumbledore's face, and he took out a blank picture frame from the drawer.

"When I leave, hang this up."

"it is good,"

Taber answered simply that he was not prepared to throw away this tradition.

"I voluntarily resign, and the board of directors will come to see you soon."

Tubber didn't have much worry about the board of directors, which had nothing to do with Dumbledore.

"Just let them come. However, I estimate that only Abraxas will be the representative. I will have to wait until the end of the semester to see the others."

Dumbledore touched Fawkes on his shoulder: "Goodbye, then. Tubber."

"goodbye!"

Watching Dumbledore disappear into the room, Tabor felt a little melancholy for a moment.

Hogwarts without Dumbledore...there will still be others.

Abraxas came quickly. After all, the board of directors had already made preparations for Dumbledore's retirement.

However, what they didn't expect was that instead of forcing Dumbledore to leave, he suddenly resigned.

"Tubb, this is your letter of appointment. The school directors have unanimously agreed that you should take over as the Headmaster of Hogwarts. I think you have been waiting for this appointment for many years."

"not at all."

Tabor retorted angrily. Although he was happy to be promoted, he felt a little troublesome when he thought about having to argue with a group of people.

"The principal has the power to manage everything within Hogwarts, and to appoint and dismiss professors and staff. The vice principal needs to discuss with the board of directors. Half of the current board of directors are Slytherins, and the rest are Ravenclaws. It’s the majority. As long as it’s not something too egregious, we will support you.”

"Abu, what do you think I need to pay if I want to be the principal forever?"

Abraxas thought quickly. Thinking of the board of directors' pressure on Tabor's previous two principals, he immediately understood his concerns.

"Value, as long as you can bring benefits to them, I dare not say anything else. Slytherin and Ravenclaw will definitely support you. A support rate of more than half is enough."

Tabor had no doubt about the truthfulness of Abraxas' words, and he made his decision after just pondering for a moment.

"First of all, as long as the school directors pay enough Galleons, the exclusive box on the Hogwarts Express can be more luxurious. I can agree to similar transactions that do not affect teaching.

Secondly, during my tenure, you can hold a job fair at Hogwarts at the end of every school year.

Finally, my research results, in addition to cooperation with the Malfoy family.Some of it can be handed over to the school directors for operation. After all, the school directors must be smart people if they have the money to sponsor Hogwarts. "

Abraxas is obviously very moved by the conditions given by Tubo. Although the third clause may harm some interests of the Malfoy family, the gains will definitely be greater in the long run.

"I think no one will disagree. With these conditions in place, you will definitely have sufficient funds in the future."

Abraxas sighed and left in a hurry.

He couldn't wait to convene the board of directors. After all, it was not easy to have a principal who had a friendly relationship with the Malfoy family. Naturally, the longer he stayed in office, the better.
