Chapter 669 Childishness
Another quiet semester is over, and before the students go home for the holiday, Ethan has already sent a message to Dumbledore, telling the headmaster about the staff changes on his side next year.
Logan will not come next year, and he and Scathach may hang out in school for one more year, while Tosaka Rin and Leah need to ask Dumbledore to take care of them, and Ilya will decide what the future will be like next year .
Hogwarts has a year-round boarding system, and Ethan doesn't think there is anything wrong with letting Leah, Tohsaka Rin, and Illya, who may continue to study until graduation, stay here.
The time flow can be adjusted slightly, or even directly synchronized. Illya and the others can return to the Luna Goddess during the holidays, return to school after the holidays, and then stay in the school for the entire school year without worrying at all.
As for Logan's departure, how to announce it to the outside world? There is no need to say anything about this kind of thing, Dumbledore knows exactly how to deal with it.
What he cares about is another news revealed by Ethan.
"Will you not come again after next year?"
"I've collected almost all the knowledge here. It seems that there's no need to stay here all the time... Is it possible that you still want to send me a diploma or something?"
"I'm really looking forward to that day."
The various preparations for the Order of the Phoenix are going well, and the morale of the members is high. They are full of energy and are waiting to surprise Voldemort next year.
The current situation seems to be very good, and Dumbledore's mood is also much better. Unlike some time ago, he was always troubled by Voldemort and the things in the wizarding world, and his mood has never been better.
"Unfortunately, I won't give you this chance."
What would a Hogwarts diploma do to him? Instead of giving him this, he might as well find a time to make copies of Dumbledore's private library.
However, there are many personal notes mixed in the private collections of magicians. Those things are not for people to read casually. They contain various understandings and thoughts of magicians or wizards about magic and the world, which will reveal a lot. If the habits and secrets of one's spellcasting are revealed to outsiders, it is easy for the enemy to know one's own weakness and target them.
In many cases, even the disciples who have been handed down have a hard time seeing the private notes of the mages. Unless the mage is about to die, he will give this kind of thing to his most promising disciple-everyone is about to die. Of course, there is no need to worry about weaknesses being discovered and exploited.
Dumbledore is alive and kicking now. He may have considered sacrificing himself when the situation was bad before, but now he has not thought about that. According to the current situation, if everything goes well, he may be able to retire smoothly and enjoy some peace old age?
"It's better not to plant flags casually."
Seeing Dumbledore stroking his beard with a smile, Ethan quickly guessed what he was thinking, and poured some cold water on him.
"Before the war begins, people who think 'I'll go home and get married after this battle...' 'I'll retire after this vote...' will not end up with any good results. .”
Dumbledore's gleeful expression suddenly became much stiffer, as if he was halfway through eating but suddenly got stuck in his throat, up and down, how uncomfortable it was.
"For the Triwizard Tournament next semester, Harry will depend on you. He's just a kid who hasn't really experienced anything..."
Speaking of this, Ethan also felt a little headache.
Because of his various disturbances, the plot of the Harry Potter world disappeared. Only the original plot of the Philosopher's Stone happened in the first three school years, and the final ending was not too far off the mark.
The subsequent battle against the Basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets, as well as a series of events triggered by Sirius' escape from prison, Harry Potter did not experience.
The current Harry is really a child who hasn't experienced too many things, and the so-called savior of the wizarding world is out of the question.
Even if Harry is considered an outstanding young wizard among the students of the same class, he is only limited among his peers, and if enlarged to the whole of Hogwarts, he cannot be considered the top group (don’t take the students in the senior advanced class as the wrong one) matter), not to mention a group of grown-up wizards, or even a group of people who are at the top of the entire wizarding world.
Now Harry, without Ethan's protection, might really die in the hands of Voldemort.
"Don't worry, compared to this, I'm thinking that if the people from the Ministry of Magic don't lose their minds this time, they just stop the Triwizard Tournament, wouldn't this cause more trouble?"
If the Ministry of Magic had been in their right minds, the Triwizard Tournament would have been aborted before it even started, because the way the Death Eaters forced Harry to be a contestant was truly speechless.
However, the people in the Ministry of Magic were clearly out of their minds. Even though normal people could tell that something was wrong with the Goblet of Fire, they insisted on continuing the Triwizard Tournament.
"It should not be suspended."
In the original plot, when encountering such a situation, the teachers of Hogwarts all suggested to suspend the match. At least they should not start the match until they figured out what happened to the Goblet of Fire.
The Minister of Magic, Fudge, insisted on letting the Triwizard Tournament go on, and this led to the following story, which led to the successful resurrection of Voldemort.
If the professors at Hogwarts don't stop it, normally no one will stop it.
It was another question that made Ethan very curious.
He cured Lupine. Now Professor Lupine has not been resisted by the parents of the students because of his identity as a werewolf. It seems that he does not have to leave Hogwarts. So it seems that the position of professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts does not need to be replaced?
"Defense Against the Dark Arts professor next year?"
As the principal of the school, Dumbledore is of course very clear about personnel changes.
"Did you hear the news?"
"Did Lupine leave school?"
From Dumbledore's words, we can know that next year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor will still have to change. Is Voldemort's curse really so powerful? Ethan didn't feel it at all.
"Lupine has other tasks to do, and Sirius needs some help."
For Ethan, Dumbledore had nothing to hide, and directly told Ethan what the members of the Order of the Phoenix were up to recently.
In fact, since the beginning of this year, the people of the Order of the Phoenix have been investigating and collecting information everywhere, so as to determine the clues of Voldemort's Horcruxes, so that they can destroy these Horcruxes immediately after Voldemort's resurrection, and cut off Voldemort's retreat. Guarantee that after eliminating this big devil this time, he will not jump out to make trouble again.
"So that's how it is."
Ethan knew what Voldemort's Horcruxes were, but Dumbledore didn't ask him, and he didn't jump out and say: I know what they are and where they are.
Dumbledore didn't say anything, so it can be seen that the other party doesn't need his help in this area, maybe he doesn't plan to trouble Ethan with these small things?
"So, I need to find a new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor this summer..." Dumbledore thought for a while, and still revealed a little bit of information: "Besides, if a new face is not found, those Death Eaters It's not easy to mix in..."
Dumbledore and the others also realized the crux of the matter. The Death Eaters had to dress up as Hogwarts people to justifiably help Harry win the Triwizard Tournament, otherwise the competitors would keep helping Harry. Looking at Harry, anyone with a normal mind would suspect that the other party has some conspiracy.
It can be said that Dumbledore deliberately sold a loophole to lure the Death Eaters, but he didn't know if Mad-Eye Moody would still be invited this time.
If it is still Moody, maybe this person already knows that he may be targeted by Death Eaters. His mission this time is likely to be a mission to actively send him to death, which is completely different from passively becoming a captive. able to calmly face the threat of death.
What's more, you have to pretend like you don't know anything.
The conversation ended like this, and then the students all took the train home, and after a happy and peaceful summer vacation, they will return to Hogwarts when the school starts next year.
Ethan and the others went back to pack up and salute, including Serena, who no longer had to stay in this world to pretend to be a guardian. Everyone was preparing to withdraw to the Luna Goddess. Even if Ethan and the others would come back next year, there was no need to be there An additional residence is left in the normal society.
They would stay at school most of the time and return to the Luna during the holidays, and Dumbledore knew about their situation and would not care about it.
"Pack up your things, don't forget anything."
There is nothing to pack, even the clothes don't need to be taken away.
Who out there doesn't have a storage space? Commonly used or important things are stored inside, and most of the things placed in this residence are not important or even things that you don't want to take back.
"Isn't it a pity to just throw it away?"
"Then donate."
It took a day to complete the finishing work, and everyone left this world together.
Upon returning to the Luna, the first thing Logan did was to go back to his room to drink the potion and change clothes, but after ten minutes of effort, Logan reappeared in front of everyone, biting a cigar.
"It's still more comfortable like this."
As soon as Logan came back, he froze in front of Ethan.
"Are you envious?"
"Tsk!"
"I don't know when you will be able to return to the 'as is'."
"..."
Ethan wondered if Logan's mental age had degenerated after a few years of child life. Does this guy still have such a side?
But Ethan, who was poked in the sore spot, was very upset, so he secretly added spices to Logan's cigar at night.
There was nothing special about it, as long as Logan smoked a cigar, he would turn into a child the next day—the drug was effective enough to ensure that Logan could not get rid of this state within a day, no matter whether he relied on magic or medicine.
