The Charles Becomes a Wizard

Howard's attitude became visibly enthusiastic. He almost snatched the two-way mirror from Sebastian's hand. He seemed very calm, but his eyes were filled with undisguised enthusiasm. He was so excited that his fingers were shaking slightly.

"Mr. Grindelwald, how could you..."

Gellert, who was studying something on the other side of the two-way mirror, looked up when he heard the strange voice. He was slightly stunned when he saw Howard, but he quickly came to his senses and asked, "Brian, right?"

Mr. Grindelwald remembered my name!!!

Howard tightened his grip on the two-way mirror, trying to keep a calm expression on his face so as not to lose his composure in front of his idol.

"Yes, Mr. Grindelwald."

"Hey, don't be nervous, I don't eat people." Gellert smiled at him, and then tried to use his eyes to ask Sebastian who was standing behind Howard what was going on.

Since Ciel usually used the two-way mirror to contact him about work-related matters, Gellert didn't think much about it when he took the mirror, and didn't even put down the documents in his hand. It was not until Howard spoke that he noticed that the person on the other side of the two-way mirror was not his meticulous partner.

"Mr. Gellert, Principal Howard has some... concerns about the young master's work." Sebastian explained at the right time, then he turned to Howard and introduced, "Mr. Gellert is one of the young master's partners. With him around, he may be able to dispel some of your doubts."

I understand. This demon that sneaked into Hogwarts has been discovered.

Gellert's eyes flashed with understanding. Although he wanted to make things difficult for Sebastian, he held back when he met those dark red eyes.

Howard now felt like his brain was about to be tangled. If he remembered correctly, this boy named Phantomhive was a punk. How could he be involved with Mr. Grindelwald?

Moreover, this boy who is less than fourteen years old seems to be quite valued. He even has a two-way mirror that can contact Mr. Grindelwald at any time!!!

Although Howard was a little confused at the moment, he still insisted on his previous decision.

Ciel might not have to accept the punishment, but...

"Outsiders are not allowed to enter or leave Hogwarts at will. Even Mr. Grindelwald cannot violate the rules."

If even the principal takes the lead in violating school rules, how can students be willing to abide by the rules? This loophole cannot be opened casually, otherwise it will easily cause unnecessary chaos.

"Of course, oh, of course I won't ask such excessive things of you." Gellert tapped the table with his fingers. "Brian, I have to admit that you did an excellent job. Really, very excellent."

Gellert did not feel that Howard's insistence on his decision was an offense to him. He even admired Howard's attitude. He liked subordinates who were capable and thoughtful, and did not want yes-men.

If Howard continued to act according to his ideas, Gellert would have to think carefully about whether Howard was worthy of being the headmaster of Hogwarts.

Howard, who received the praise, forced himself to suppress the upward curve of his lips and proposed another feasible plan.

"Muggle studies professor?" Ciel repeated.

"That's right. Once you have a formal position, you are no longer an outsider."

Although he cannot violate school rules, Howard still has the right to hire a professor.

Howard, who was only thinking about not letting his idol down in front of his partners, did not notice that the gloating smile on the idol's face froze after hearing his proposal.

"And I think it would be better to have someone who has lived in the Muggle world as the Muggle Studies professor than the current professor," Howard added.

The previous teaching content of Muggle studies at Hogwarts was simply disgusting. The textbooks were outdated, the content was difficult and weird, the descriptions of Muggles were extremely stereotyped, and the understanding of the Muggle world even remained in the past fifty years.

"Mr. Michaelis, will you take the job?"

"Thank you very much for your trust. It's my honor." Seeing that Charles had no objection, the butler in black responded with a smile.

Howard was in a good mood when he left, but Snape and Sirius, who were forgotten, still hadn't recovered.

That's Gellert Grindelwald!

Who of their generation has not heard of this legendary figure?

Who hasn't dreamed of one day being able to accomplish something like him that would shock the entire wizarding world?

Countless people fear him, admire him, hate him, and even more desire to be him.

But there is only one Gellert Grindelwald.

"So, the collapse of Nurmengard is also related to you?" Snape asked after an unknown amount of time.

"Oh, Merlin's puff sleeves, how do you know him?!" Sirius shouted anxiously. "Do you know who he is? Do you know how cruel his methods are? Do you know how many people he killed back then..."

"I thought these were all my privacy," Charles interrupted Sirius. He tilted his head and said word by word, "I think there is no need for me to report anything to you."

"If there is nothing else, could you please leave first?" Charles pointed at the blank exercises on the table. "I still have something important to do."

Snape looked at Charles deeply, turned around and left without saying a word. Sirius wanted to say a few more words, but after seeing Sebastian's respectful smile, he suddenly felt that every bone in his body was aching, so he held back his words and left the room obediently.

"Sebastian."

"Master."

"Now you can tell me, what did you do to attract their attention?" The pen in Charles' hand made a flower on his fingertips.

If the devil really wants to hide himself, no one will find him.

Sebastian: ...

Sebastian pinched his chin with one hand and recalled it carefully.

But, he hasn't really done anything lately except kill a guy in the Shrieking Shack...

Charles glanced at him and said, "Can't tell?"

"No, Master," Sebastian shook his head, "I don't know where the mistake was."

"Huh?" How is this possible?

"You know, I will never lie to you." The butler in black said sincerely. "Perhaps Principal Howard got some special magic props?"
