Chapter 840 Dumbledore’s Decision

Seeing the Hogwarts Great Hall transform from bright and lively to dark and cold, it was not a good feeling to watch everyone leave.

Fortunately, Mr. Filch did not come to disturb him, perhaps with Dumbledore's instructions, but after the last student left, the hall was still completely dark...

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long on the first day of school." A slightly older voice came from behind, which was no different from the voice in my head before.

"This can be regarded as another experience." Fan Lin said slightly relaxedly, "And, fortunately, Mr. Filch and Mrs. Lorris did not come to trouble me."

"Mrs. Lorris will not cause trouble for the same kind of people. Moreover, I believe that under the leadership of Mrs. Lorris, you should have a deeper understanding of this school."

"Old and dark, not all places are safe." Fan Lin said.

In fact, as Dumbledore said, you can really learn more about this school by following Mrs. Norris.

This is Mrs. Lorris's territory, and given the size of a cat, many places are beyond the reach of ordinary people. For example, how about drilling a circle through the abandoned drainage pipes of Hogwarts with Mrs. Lorris?

Well, you can bring Hermione with you next time, but before that, Fanlin should clean up those bad things.

It’s hard to imagine that there are still remnants of black magic in the drainage pipes, and the used experimental materials are left behind...

But fortunately it has been abandoned, otherwise this would be a big trouble.

"This is normal," Dumbledore said. "You should know that this was once the fiefdom of a noble family."

"The Slytherin family." Fan Lin said, "a prestigious magic family."

"Ah, yes, the Slytherin family." Dumbledore nodded, "Now that I think about it, Slytherin seems to have brought us a lot of trouble."

"Do you want to say Voldemort, professor?" Fan Lin asked, "This is just a choice. If it's not Voldemort, it may be someone else. However, this will make the people involved different from those involved. It’s different, and we happen to be one of them.”

"You understand very deeply." Dumbledore said, "Yes, we are all participants. However, this is unfortunate, especially when new participants join."

Dumbledore sighed, seeming a little emotional.

"Are you worried about the attitude of the Ministry of Magic?" Fan Lin asked.

"Maybe, but I don't think Connelly can kill me. He prefers that I stay in that intimidating position, but it's just a deterrent. In fact, that's what I did. , but he was not at ease, that’s why today’s scene happened.”

"Ms. Umbridge is not that simple. And, I'm sorry, Professor, I don't think that the dementors who attacked Harry were sent by Voldemort." Fan Lin said.

"Oh, of course, the control of those dementors is still in the hands of the Ministry of Magic. According to my information, Tom doesn't have time to pay attention to these creatures now, even if they are very useful." Dumbledore said, "I I have always opposed the Ministry of Magic's use of these emotionless guys. In normal times, it is not a problem, but in the current situation, this will become the biggest hidden danger. It can be said that we have lost Azkaban. , just like the Giants, Tom’s conditions are much more favorable than ours.”

"He is just amplifying his desires, professor, but I have to admit that this method is very easy to use." Fan Lin said lightly.

Dumbledore clasped his hands together and looked up at the seats not far away, which were the seats of each prefect.

"Are you surprised that I didn't choose you or Harry to be this prefect?"

"This is a decision between you and Professor McGonagall." Fan Lin said, "Besides, Harry and I are not very suitable for the position of prefect. Harry is too sensitive, especially at this time, in When everyone is questioning it, Harry is obviously not suitable to manage anything, and I am the same, I am not suitable..."

"Actually, you are a very good candidate." Dumbledore said, "However, I am not talking about prefects, but higher ones. I hope you can lead them instead of staying behind Harry. "

"You mean, student union president?" Fan Lin asked in disbelief.

Percy has been the student union president of Hogwarts. It can be said that that is the proudest thing in Percy's history. If he becomes the student union president now, then in the next third grade, the entire Hogwarts All students must obey his management.

Generally speaking, the student union president is held by a seventh-grade student. Although it is said that anyone over the fifth grade is eligible to run, there has never been a precedent for a fifth-year student to be elected.

"That's right," Dumbledore said, "that's why I kept you here. In fact, you should have been notified of this decision a few days ago, but before that, the proposal had not passed review. But just now, Armando Dippet told me that they passed this bill."

"School Board? How is this possible?" Fan Lin said in surprise. He remembered that Malfoy was one of the members of the School Board, but...

"Some means, Fanlin. In fact, I, the principal, have not let everyone down to that point, and I left you here just to tell you about this."

"But, Professor Dumbledore, I don't think this is a suitable deal. Moreover, I feel that even if I become the President of the Student Union of Hogwarts, the situation will not change much. We rely on In the end..."

"It's still Hogwarts, Fanlin..." Dumbledore said earnestly, "Never underestimate Hogwarts. I think this is exactly the concept you need to change. Hogwarts still needs Hogwarts in the end. The Gwarts are here to protect us. Whether it’s the Order of the Phoenix or something else, these people basically walked out of Hogwarts.”

"But if they want to form a fighting force... I'm sorry, Professor, to be honest, I don't think much of them..."

"I'm very optimistic," Dumbledore said. "Hogwarts is not as bad as you think."

"Why must it be them?"

"I can't always protect Hogwarts, neither you nor Harry. Moreover, the threats that Hogwarts will face are not threats that these children can imagine."

"You might as well just ask me to visit the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts." Fan Lin said with a smile.

"Oh, of course, after you graduate, I guess you can stay if you want. It won't be difficult."

"Oh, forget it, still." Fan Lin said speechlessly, "I don't think I have any talent for teaching people."

"Harry, you taught me well, didn't you? It can be seen that Harry's level is much better than before..."

"So I can't shirk it?" Fan Lin tried to ask, and Dumbledore just smiled, which made Fan Lin speechless.

In Fanlin's opinion, leading the students of Hogwarts is not a good job, especially when Umbridge arrives.

Suddenly, Fan Lin roughly understood what Dumbledore meant, which was to directly push him to the surface to attract Umbridge's firepower...

"Okay, I accept it." Fan Lin said helplessly.

"I hope you have a good job, Fanlin Student Union President..." (To be continued)
