The Charles Becomes a Wizard

As Lucius spoke, all the school directors stood up, took out their wands and formed a circle.

"Mr. Dumbledore, please come to the middle." Seeing that Dumbledore did not move, the Ravenclaw director who spoke before urged him again.

"Perhaps Mr. Dumbledore has other concerns?" Lucius said while deliberately looking in Harry's direction.

He was threatening himself. Dumbledore was very aware of this.

One wrong step leads to another. If he had been able to realize Malfoy's conspiracy earlier, he would never have been pushed to this point.

Dumbledore was silent for a moment, then slowly stood up and walked to the center of the school directors.

The school directors all raised their wands, and ancient and obscure spells came out of their mouths. At the same time, the tips of the wands flashed with a faint blue light. The light gathered into a point above Dumbledore's head, and then a large amount of light sprinkled down and enveloped Dumbledore in the center. At the same time, a complex magic circle lit up under their feet, and the magic circle cracked at the moment the spell stopped.

Dumbledore, who was standing in the middle, looked as if all his energy had been drained away, and he looked much older in an instant.

"You, what did you do to Albus!" Professor McGonagall quickly stepped forward and supported Dumbledore.

"It's the Headmaster's Contract." Dumbledore held McGonagall's arm and said in a hoarse voice, "The Headmaster's Contract has been terminated."

How could this be?

McGonagall originally thought that the school directors would simply temporarily remove Dumbledore from his position, as they had done in previous instances. After the storm was over, Dumbledore would return to Hogwarts, to the position to which he had devoted most of his life.

After all, there would never be a safer place than in Dumbledore's presence.

But now, the principal's contract has been terminated!

This made McGonagall realize that these school directors really wanted to kick Dumbledore out of Hogwarts.

"You will regret this," tears unexpectedly fell from the eyes of this usually strong witch. The Lion King of Gryffindor gritted his teeth and repeated, "You will definitely regret this!"

What do you regret? Regret not kicking Dumbledore out sooner?

Lucius couldn't help but sneer when he thought about all the trouble Dumbledore had caused during the two years that his little dragon had been studying at Hogwarts.

In order to train the savior into a talented person, Dumbledore indeed worked hard to prepare a lot of plans, which were precise and complete, and could create momentum for the savior to the greatest extent while stimulating and training his abilities.

But has he ever thought about how dangerous those plans are for the little wizards? Has he ever thought about whether other little wizards would be implicated if something went wrong in one part of the plan? What would happen to the implicated little wizards?

Of course, Dumbledore might not care about all this. Perhaps to him, none of this was as important as training a suitable heir for Gryffindor and himself.

Lucius had gone to great lengths to drive him out of Hogwarts, so naturally there was no way he would give him a chance to come back. To avoid any further complications, the headmaster's contract had to be terminated as soon as possible.

Otherwise, who knows whether Dumbledore will continue to interfere in Hogwarts affairs by using the Headmaster Contract after he leaves the castle? Who can guarantee that if the position of Headmaster remains vacant, there will be no "accident" that will force them to invite Dumbledore back to continue serving as Headmaster?

In short, let's push the acting principal they have prepared to the front first and then talk about other things. As for whether the parachuted acting principal can convince the public and whether he has the ability to become a permanent principal, that depends on Howard's own abilities and means.

Lucius was only giving him an opportunity. If he couldn't seize it, there would certainly be others waiting to take his place.

"Mr. Dumbledore," Lucius nodded slightly after resolving a problem on his mind, and the smile on his face became more genuine: "Please pack up your personal belongings as soon as possible."

"Mr. Dumbledore!" Harry, who had just come to his senses, raised his head suddenly when he heard this, "Are you leaving Hogwarts?"

For Harry, who was isolated by almost everyone, every bit of kindness was precious now. And he had a hunch that once Dumbledore left Hogwarts, his situation would become worse than it was now.

Just as Charles said before, Harry actually realized very early on how special Dumbledore treated him. He didn't know whether this specialness was because of his parents or because of the title of "savior".

But this did not prevent him from enjoying the feeling of being the one who was favored and valued among the crowd. That feeling was intoxicating and made people feel euphoric. Once you have tasted that feeling, you will not be willing to return to being ordinary again. This was especially true for Harry, who had lacked care and love since childhood.

Harry didn't want Dumbledore to leave.

He wanted to make himself favored for a longer period of time...

he thinks,

He wants to be the most special one in the crowd, he wants to be loved by everyone, he wants everyone to value his opinion...

The ambition that had been suppressed after several blows resurfaced, but Harry himself did not notice it in time.

"Oh, Harry, my child," Dumbledore sighed deeply. He raised his hand and patted Harry's shoulder. "I'm sorry, I think it's like this. I have to leave Hogwarts."

"Will you come back?" Harry ignored the gazes of the school directors and asked with all his courage. "You will definitely come back, right?"

Dumbledore chuckled softly, "Oh, my child, as long as there is one person in Hogwarts who is loyal to me, I will return."

Several school directors were almost amused by his arrogant attitude, as if he was ready to sacrifice his life for justice at any time.

Get it straight, the reason you were expelled from Hogwarts was because you neglected your duties and embezzled public funds! It wasn't because these school directors relied on their numbers to collectively persecute you, okay?

It's really annoying that he has to pretend to be righteous even though he has clearly done something wrong.

"Loyal to you?" A Hufflepuff board member who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke. This chubby old man had a good temper and was always smiling. This was the first time Lucius saw him with a cold face.

"I thought Hogwarts was a school."

"This is not a place for you to play with power!"
