Vol 7 Chapter 570: Headmaster Dumbledore
The staff lounge at Hogwarts is different from other offices. There is a large closet at the door. In the cupboard are the robes and hats that the professors will change in class. Occasionally, there are a few Boggarts What's more, it's nothing new.
Professors who have finished class, when they don't plan to go back to their office to deal with some personal matters, often gather here, or come to two games of wizard chess, or get together to play thunderbolt cards or something, every Quidditch During the league, they can gather together to discuss the current situation of the teams that they support personally, and then go to their respective offices to deal with the next classwork or review the homework after the chat is very enjoyable.
If something new happens in the school, it will be even more interesting here - the topic has been much more than before in recent years, but it is probably inseparable from the Weasley brothers in Gryffindor. In the past ten years, Hogwarts has been at the top level, and interesting things are naturally indispensable.
But most of the discussions here are ordinary professors, and dean-level professors are probably not willing to discuss gossip matters on campus, but this does not mean that they do not know - one of the oil paintings everywhere in Hogwarts Sai Yi was well-informed, and from time to time he would go to his dean's office to talk about what the students were doing today.
After William entered Hogwarts, he integrated quite well here. Although the position of professor of self-defense is considered consumable in the minds of many professors, he still made friends. A year later, now that he's survived the curse, he's also a natural part of the occasional gossip in the staff lounge.
Although some of the dean-level professors still look at him unhappy, but fortunately he does a good job in this position. Although the fifth-grade courses are really boring, the grades are solid, which also makes this kind of Boring courses became the norm.
But not all dean-level professors are so boring, Dumbledore is the only person who came to listen to the interesting things in the school together without the slightest dean's demeanor.
He is tall and tall, his beard and hair are all white, and the nose on his face seems to have been interrupted and spliced together again. Although he is the principal, he does not do any work every day, as if the principal is someone else, even Often disappeared. He always smiles when he talks to people, and even the twins can occasionally make outrageous pranks.
Because he has never used black magic, and his strength is admired by everyone, everyone respects him as the strongest white wizard.
But it happened to be the strongest white wizard who suffered recently.
Now, as soon as he appeared, many professors smiled at him with the application form, "Principal, it's time for my application to be approved!"
He took the form with a look of embarrassment, then took out the approved form, "It was approved yesterday, you can just deal with it."
The professors crowded in again, "Principal, there are not enough teaching aids!"
The first white wizard widened his eyes, "Didn't you just buy a batch of parchment yesterday?"
"It was used by Professor William, and he organized another joint examination!"
Dumbledore pressed his forehead, "Of course the exam will be on paper. I'll write another letter to get a batch. What else, ink? Herbs?"
His face was full of helplessness, which made the professors feel a little ashamed, but more professors came over again with application reports. Suddenly, the entire desk was full of documents that needed to be reviewed.
—
"Albus was very organized when he was a professor. Unfortunately, before he became the headmaster, Professor McGonagall came to the Transfiguration office at Hogwarts. At that time, Dumbledore was busy dealing with Grindelwald all day, and then he was busy cleaning up the mess, and the office work was pushed to Professor McGonagall..."
Moody was in the self-defense office and was spreading knowledge with William and the others.
"With Dumbledore taking over as headmaster, it was a good opportunity to exercise, but Voldemort has risen again. He can only disappear from the school from time to time to organize a club to deal with Voldemort. I used to be in that organization - busy all day. Open friendship, and disappear from time to time."
"Professor McGonagall was not very willing to intervene in this at the beginning, but after a long time, Dumbledore was often absent from school, so he had to bite the bullet and do all the next work."
Moody opened a chocolate frog while talking, "Speaking of which, Albus is the real headmaster, and he has always worked hard and fought to protect Hogwarts, but he really hasn't done much headmaster work. ."
—
"Albus, are you really the headmaster of Hogwarts?"
In the principal's office, when Dumbledore was worried about the documents piled up on the desk, Phineas Nigellus Black (looking at Dumbledore who was at a loss) on the wall laughed a little sharply.
"Do you have any doubts about this matter, Phoenix?"
Dumbledore raised his head, even though the situation was not very good, he was still calm.
"Of course, there is a little - how come you haven't even learned the basic skills of the principal to deal with documents?"
Real damage is the most real damage - Dumbledore has always been calm, but at this moment his mentality is a little broken.
"Let me handle it for you..."
However, to his surprise, the oil painting actually volunteered, "You just need to do me a little favor, and once again urge my great-great-grandson to get married quickly and fulfill the obligations of a Blake..."
It's not a bad deal by any means, but it got stuck on Dumbledore's side.
Apparently, Dumbledore was hesitant - what's worse than learning to handle this stuff from scratch or letting Phoenix handle the files?
This is a bit insulting, but it is a hard truth. Phoenix is the worst headmaster ever at Hogwarts. Although Dumbledore wants to fish, it is too much to shirk his responsibility...
In Dumbledore's hesitation, Phoenix immediately thought of this, he scolded, then returned to his oil painting frame, and began to close himself...

"Professor William, can I trust you?"
When William came to declare with the list of consumables in the self-defense office (mainly the magical creatures used by Lupin), Dumbledore looked at the declaration and put it down. Instead, he stared at William with a serious look on his face. .
?
what happened?
William was taken aback by Dumbledore's posture, what happened? Is this Voldemort about to call? Or is Dumbledore about to start a secret society? Or, what secret did Dumbledore decide to reveal? Or even—there's news of the last Horcrux?
"Of course you can, Professor."
He responded decisively, although Dumbledore has been a bit sloppy in dealing with school affairs these days, no one can deny the fact that Dumbledore is the first white wizard. To be precise, if it wasn't for Professor McGonagall's courage this time Too fast, Dumbledore wouldn't be in such a hurry.
"That's great, you will protect this school seriously, right?"
"Of course, Professor."
"Then, will you protect the students and think of them as much as possible, Professor William?"
"always like this."
Is the Dark Lord going to show up, can you think of a way to kill him?
William couldn't even hold back his excitement. He really wanted to kill the Dark Lord.
"Very good, come and help me with these documents, Professor William!"
? ? ?
William widened his eyes, looked at Dumbledore, and counted the days—it wasn't April Fool's Day yet.
"Yes, yes, professor, but I'm not good at this."
"It doesn't matter, it's just for a moment. Minerva is only on vacation for a month. Professor William, you don't want the students to be hungry, do you? Yesterday, I didn't think about Peeves' prank, so the kitchen didn't have enough dishes..."
'I think the twins have a share too, but there are so many Gryffindors locked up that I can't confirm...'
William thought silently, but after seeing Dumbledore, he decided not to cause trouble.
The twins will graduate in a month or two. Anyway, the prank is not too much, so he decided to turn a blind eye—Professor McGonagall came back and reported together.
It's not what he thinks about Dumbledore, but Dumbledore, who took over rashly, is really far behind Professor McGonagall...
"I think you're right, Headmaster."
William nodded, and then added the most crooked word in the world, "But..."
"But Professor McGonagall is more than just a vacation. Do you think that if she finds out that you have shared the principal's work with others, will Professor McGonagall give herself another month off..."
Dumbledore glanced at the pile of documents, and sighed again, his eyes were full of regret, but he didn't mention this topic again.

"Transfiguration class..."
When Dumbledore appeared in the fifth-grade classroom, all the students, including Harry, who had been trained in small classes by the headmaster, seemed extremely eager.
Professor McGonagall threw the fifth graders' homework there in a fit of rage, but that doesn't make anyone irresponsible - there's no way, the substitute professor is too powerful.
The students looked at Dumbledore eagerly. They had seen enough magical transfiguration in the last class, but they greedily wanted more...
However, in the anticipation of all the students, their headmaster, their substitute professor, the interim dean of Gryffindor, Dumbledore kindly touched out something that made everyone fear from the bottom of their hearts.
It was a paper bag of the same style as Professor William, and he took out a paper bag of the same style from inside.
The students panicked, but Dumbledore shook his head, "I haven't studied the fifth grade education for a long time, but I've seen it roughly, and these papers are still a good exercise."
After a class, amid the wailing of many fifth-year students, Dumbledore left with the papers.
—
In the days when Professor McGonagall was away, Gryffindor's time was good and sufficient.
Interim Dean Dumbledore dealt with problems in the school all day long and was very busy, and even the Gryffindor confinement was basically in the hands of Filch - but that punishment was not related to Professor McGonagall's absence. Compared with joy, it is really far behind.
As the Easter holidays approached, the students who were gradually accustomed to Dumbledore's slightly slow work efficiency finally talked about why Professor McGonagall took a sudden leave of absence while chatting.
It stands to reason that the matter of the client's departure should be exposed as soon as possible, but Professor McGonagall was too powerful and dragged it to the present—and this was picked up by the most daring Gryffindor.
"Why did Professor McGonagall suddenly think of taking a vacation?"
"Hey, didn't Dumbledore pile up too many papers to deal with?"
"Ok?"
"I heard that it was witnessed by the professors in the Self-Defense Office. There seems to be some kind of meeting over there that requires the principal's participation. Professor McGonagall was angry when he didn't find the principal. The international conference can be delayed. ?"
"Just delay it, that's Dumbledore..."
"That's right, but it is said that Professor McGonagall wanted to contact the next international competition at the time—or else the professor of the Self-Defense Office wouldn't be there..."
"How about that?"
"Get angry, then quarrel, go on vacation after the quarrel, and leave the matter to Dumbledore..."
"Then when do you think the professor will come back?"
"Huh? Isn't it bad now? Isn't life better during this time than it was when Professor McGonagall was there?"
The Gryffindor who provoked this topic asked back.
"It's not that it's impossible, it's just that I always feel... I'm missing something..."
"What's wrong, Mr. David."
A familiar voice suddenly sounded, and the boy named David even felt a little difficult to breathe.
Although the time is approaching Easter, why is the wind outside so cold, as if the winter has never passed!
"Professor McGonagall."
He tried his best to greet me with a nice face.
"Well, you are fine too."
Professor McGonagall nodded, UU read www.uukanshu.com and then walked towards the castle.
"Didn't you say that Professor McGonagall is on vacation for a month? That's five days left!"
"Merlin's beard, God knows!"
"It's over, call the twins, it will kill you!"
"Hurry up, go to Filch's side, and fulfill the confinement first!"
The Gryffindors were in a mess - they used their excellent intelligence to detect that Professor McGonagall would have to return to school for a few days, but now the intelligence is wrong!

"Dundun."
Dumbledore's office was ringing.
"Please come in, put the documents on the table, and you will respond within a week—of course, I recommend you to find Minerva, she is about to end her vacation."
Professor McGonagall, who had been nodding involuntarily while watching Dumbledore's busy state of processing documents, suddenly put away the smile on his face.
"Ah, Minerva!"
Dumbledore smiled sincerely, as if he didn't say what he just said.
"The work is very hard, Albus. I'm back from a business trip. I can rest assured that everything is fine in the school. I'm going to go to places like Diagon Alley in the next five days."
Professor McGonagall smiled and nodded.
