Hogwarts: I am the White Lord

Hogwarts Station.

After sending Harry to the train, Sebastian looked towards the headmaster's office and let out a long sigh.

Hey......

Dumbledore still destroyed the Philosopher's Stone the day after he dealt with Quirrell.

Sebastian never expected Dumbledore to be so decisive. By the time he learned the news, the Philosopher's Stone had turned into pieces on the ground.

Thinking of this, he kept muttering to himself.

This old Deng doesn't even know how to get some gold. He doesn't have the responsibility of a principal at all!

You know, there are places to spend money everywhere in school.

For example, after knowing that Fred and George were learning alchemy from me, many little wizards in the school have come to me and expressed their desire to learn from me.

But it’s not that simple!

Alchemy is different from traditional subjects. It cannot be taught just by having a professor.

It has one biggest disadvantage - it costs money!

The most expensive subject at Hogwarts now is Potions, but it pales in comparison to alchemy.

Learning alchemy requires more than just waving a wand. Students must go through a lot of hands-on practice to learn the real tricks.

Alchemy requires the use of a variety of rare and expensive magical materials, which may even include phoenix feathers, dragon blood, unicorn horns, etc.

These materials are difficult to obtain, expensive, and many may be consumed during the experiment.

Hogwarts doesn't have enough funds to offer such a course now.

As far as Sebastian knew, among the three magic high schools in Europe, only Beauxbatons School of Magic and Wizardry offered alchemy courses.

That's entirely because Nicolas Flamel donated many of his properties to Beauxbatons.

Beauxbatons has sufficient funds, so it can naturally offer any courses it wants.

However, Sebastian was not prepared to be as generous as Nicolas Flamel and pay for Hogwarts to open such an alchemy class.

After all, he was not a board member of Hogwarts and had no obligation to donate money all the time.

Secondly, offering alchemy classes is not a one-time deal, but a bottomless pit.

All Sebastian could do was to open an alchemy club and select some talented students for training.

Moreover, as the saying goes, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.

What Hogwarts needs most is not to find a few more resentful school directors to donate, but to carry out financial reforms and become self-sufficient.

Sebastian glanced toward the Forbidden Forest.

The dense forest seemed exceptionally quiet under the sunlight, as if all living things were holding their breath in that mysterious forest.

This is Hogwarts’ greatest treasure!

There are a lot of magical animals in that forest.

Eight-eyed spider;

a little white horse with a single horn;

Bowtruckle, etc.

Each magical animal can produce very valuable materials.

In addition, there are a large number of wild herbs in the forbidden forest, which is also a huge wealth.

There is a treasure right here, why don't you develop it?!

Sebastian sighed, then hummed a song as he slowly walked towards Hogwarts Castle.

"Money, Money, Money..."

He first found Professor McGonagall, and then went to the headmaster's office with her.

hum!

The two vice-presidents have come together to see if you, Old Deng, agree to develop the forbidden forest.

In the headmaster's office, Professor Dumbledore sat in his high-backed chair, rocking gently.

His robe was draped loosely on his body, his silver beard trembled slightly, and he looked exceptionally kind and calm.

Life on holiday is so relaxing and pleasant...

Dumbledore was a little surprised to see the two people coming together: "Minerva, what do you want from me?"

Hearing Dumbledore's question, Professor McGonagall looked at Sebastian and said with a smile.

"Sebastian said he had something very important to show us."

Oh?

Something very important?

Dumbledore sat up straight and looked at Sebastian questioningly.

"Principal, I have a memory I want to share with you."

Sebastian calmly took out a Pensieve and placed it on Dumbledore's desk.

Then he stretched out his wand to press against his temple, extracted a memory and put it into the Pensieve.

Seeing this scene, Dumbledore became interested.

He remembered that when Sebastian first joined the company, he showed him a memory that showed the scene of Knockturn Alley.

I wonder what it will be this time?

In a trance, Dumbledore came to a spacious and bright office where a teacher and a student were talking.

This is?

Sebastian's office?

"Percy?" As soon as she arrived here, Professor McGonagall recognized the little wizard she was talking to.

Dumbledore looked and recognized the Gryffindor prefect as well.

He didn't ask anything and began to listen carefully to the conversation between the two people in this memory.

"Professor Swann, are my brothers learning alchemy from you?"

"Yes, what's the problem, Percy?"

"I just want to ask, why don't you just offer an alchemy class? That way, more students can learn from you."

"This was a conversation Percy and I had after school started last year," Sebastian's voice sounded slowly.

"Because of the navigation map, Percy knew that the twins were learning alchemy from me."

"He was very excited, so he found me and asked this question."

Sebastian's voice was a little sad. "I didn't answer his question directly, but evaded the question by saying that he had 12 courses."

"However, I underestimated the appeal of alchemy to students. More and more little guys came to me and expressed their desire to learn alchemy."

The memories in the Pensieve kept changing, and little wizards appeared one after another, asking the same question.

"Professor Swan, as a master alchemist, why don't you teach alchemy?"

"Professor, do you have any plans to teach an alchemy class?"

"Professor, can I also learn alchemy from you?"

"Professor, we also want to make something as cool as a navigation map like the Weasley twins. Can you teach us?"

......

After the last memory was played, Sebastian and the other two returned to the principal's office.

Professor McGonagall looked heavy-hearted. She had never expected that so many students would want to learn alchemy.

Looking at the children's longing eyes in her memory, she felt extremely sad.

However, as the person in charge of the school's finances, Professor McGonagall knew clearly that Hogwarts did not have enough gold Galleons to offer such a course.

"Headmaster, Professor McGonagall," Sebastian said seriously.

"I have rejected too many little wizards."

"But today, I want to ask you, can the school give them a clear answer?"

"Can we offer alchemy classes to students so they can learn more survival skills?"
