Settle at Hogwarts

Staring at Severus' complaining look, Tabor couldn't help but chuckle.

"Okay, let's go back and rest. As punishment for being discovered, I will go to Professor Slughorn during Halloween and help him process some potion materials."

"I understand, Mr. Principal."

Severus was not dissatisfied with this handling. In fact, even if Tabor didn't say anything, he would most likely go to his dean to help.

Perhaps it was Tub's nagging that played a role. Severus and Lily had always had a very close relationship, which also made the conflict between the four robbers and him more intense.

When Tub went to the Great Hall the next morning, he found that a large part of Gryffindor's gem was missing.

"Minerva, you deducted so many points from them?"

Professor McGonagall, who was originally serious, looked even more helpless.Lily and the other five people were not the only ones who escaped from Gryffindor last night.

For Professor McGonagall, who was extremely fair, Tubo silently expressed his respect in his heart.

In the grade showdown after Halloween, the four robbers all followed the team and participated in it.

This also made Tabor discover that the magic skills of the four people in the first grade were all considered to be very good, including the most inconspicuous Peter Pedillo.

The second round of competition took just one weekend to determine the first place in each grade.

The speed was so fast that Tabor felt it was a bit unexpected.

In the first grade, the team of Lily and Severus became the strongest in the grade with their absolute strength.

In other grades, the leaders of each college became the winners.

There are no dark horses that are common in novels, there are just a group of people who have always been excellent.

Seven grades, 28 students.

Tabor took these people to the alchemy classroom.

"First of all, congratulations on your victory. The third round will be dangerous and will consume a lot of your time to prepare, so I don't recommend that students who need to take the wizard level exam continue.

Of course, if some teams feel that participating will not affect the wizard level exam, they can continue to participate.Is there any team that wants to quit now? "

The result did not surprise Tabor. Compared with a competition with unknown rewards, normal wizards knew that the results of the level test would be more important.

So, both the seventh-grade and fifth-grade teams chose to leave.

"For the rest of the sixth graders, don't be too happy, and the first graders don't feel depressed. The final round of the competition does not require you to have a strong level of magic.

The third round will be held after the exam week, and the winning team will receive 1000 galleons, plus a few bottles of potions that I personally sponsored.At that time, many people from outside the school will come to watch the game.If anyone still wants to quit, they can leave with three hundred galleons. "

"Principal Prince, we are not leaving!"

"It's just that I finally became the first in the grade. If I just gave up, I would be besieged by the whole grade."

Tabor smiled and looked at the student who was speaking: "That's a good reason. Then I need a Ravenclaw from each of your groups to come on stage and choose an animal."

Since there are only five grades, the options Tabor gave were the Unicorn, the Niffler, the Hippogriff, the Acromantula, and the Thestral.

The selection process of the eaglets was very harmonious, which made Tabor feel a little relieved.

"The bonus of 300 galleons for each group will be your preparation. The last competition requires going deep into the Forbidden Forest and takes a long time. You must prepare some potions, food and even alchemy items. You can choose to buy materials for these galleons, or It’s to buy the finished product directly.”

"Principal Prince, can I ask what 300 Galleons can buy?"

Tabor waved his wand, and the price list of his potion store appeared on the blackboard.

"Reference prices, food, etc. are also calculated according to Hogwarts standards."

"In other words, it would be much cheaper for us to buy the materials ourselves, right?"

Tabor nodded: "Of course, because some potions and props take too long to make, you will be left with more than half a school year to prepare.

During this period, each group can have a pharmacist who can follow me to learn some medicines that need to be prepared.A person interested in cooking can practice in the Hogwarts kitchen.Finally, the two identities are the brave and the wise. "

Tabor's eyes glanced at the Ravenclaw holding the animal model.

"I think the identity of each of your team members can be determined."

As the best students in each grade, no one who can sit in this classroom is stupid.They soon figured out their respective identities.

"Okay, the specific competition rules will be announced after the final exam. You can tell me privately what each group's gold galleons need to purchase."

After Tabor finished speaking, he walked out of the alchemy classroom.

"Severus, what do you think the third round will be like? Can you get some information?"

Faced with the question from the same group of Ravenclaws, Severus shook his head: "I'm sorry, if Mr. Principal doesn't want to reveal it in advance, there's nothing I can do about it."

Tabor told no one about the third round of the competition. Even Professor McGonagall only knew that the students were going to enter the Forbidden Forest.

Just as everyone was looking forward to it...the official Quidditch match of this school year began.

Tabor sat on the professor's chair, enjoying the cold November wind, watching the energetic students flying above the stadium.

Next to him was an excited Professor McGonagall.

"The first Quidditch match of the school year, Slytherin versus Gryffindor! Now, Mrs. Hooch opens the box and releases the Bludgers..."

The narrator was chosen by Professor McGonagall, who was relatively biased towards his own school.

However, it is well known that the headmaster Tubo is from Slytherin, so Slytherin's situation is much better than in the original plot.

"Minerva, after all these years, you still love Quidditch so much."

“Even if I’m too old to walk, I’ll still enjoy it.”

Professor McGonagall watched Gryffindor score a goal and seemed to be in a good mood.

"Do you think the sport of Quidditch is unfair?"

Tabor asked carefully, fearing that Professor McGonagall would suddenly explode.

"Unfair? That can be the best sport."

Seeing Minerva staring at the sky, Tabor was a little confused.

In addition to Quidditch, are there any other multi-person sports in the wizarding world?

"Just, do you think the two teams should use the same model of broomsticks, and the score for the Seeker to catch the Golden Snitch is too high.

A good Seeker can even end the game in a matter of minutes.Players in other positions are far less important than the seeker. "

Minerva nodded, she also felt that there was indeed something wrong.It's just that this has been the case with Quidditch rules for a long time.

"Minerva, from now on the same broomsticks will be used for Hogwarts games. In addition, the Seeker's broomstick needs to be a little bit worse. The Silver Arrow is very good. It's just a little faster than the Golden Snitch. "

"This......."

Minerva did not agree directly, but thought about the feasibility of Tub's words.

“The same broom allows the members of the school team to focus entirely on practicing their flying skills.

A few years ago, Seekers could catch the Golden Snitch with the brooms of that time. There is no reason why today's students have to use the latest ones. "

Tabor thought about Krum in the future and knew that a Quidditch superstar could also have a very good impact on the school.

For students with average grades, becoming a professional Quidditch player is also a way out.

"This is a school. Compared to winning or losing in the academy, I would rather see all the talented children be able to give full play to their strengths."

Minerva glanced at Tabor in surprise, as if she didn't expect him to be so dedicated to his duties.

"Okay, after this game is over, I will discuss it with Mrs. Huo Qi."

Tubo did not disturb Professor McGonagall from watching the game anymore and came to the astronomy tower alone.

Away from the hustle and bustle of the stadium, there was no other sound except the whistling wind.

Just when Tabor was enjoying his solitude, someone suddenly appeared next to him.

"Dumbledore?"

Tabor looked at the old man with white beard and hair. If it weren't for the familiar phoenix standing on his shoulder, he would have been a little afraid to recognize him.

"It's me, why don't you recognize me?"

Tabor frowned: "Did you really go to the world of the dead?"

Dumbledore snorted lightly, and he also walked to the edge of the terrace and looked at the noisy Quidditch pitch below.

"How did it get like this?"

Tabor was a little puzzled. Dumbledore was at least ten years older than when he left.The whole body is still filled with a withered, dead atmosphere.

"Nothing, this is just the price of going to the world of the dead."

Dumbledore waved his hand carelessly, his expression full of peace.

"So, have you seen her?"

Dumbledore looked at Tubber with a smile on his face.

"Yes, she forgave me. And decided to continue walking. I stayed there for ten days, which was the limit. If I don't come back in time, even with Gellert's protection, I can only become a complete loser there. Part of it.”

Tabor was very curious about the so-called 'world of the dead', but for a while he didn't know where to start.

"Tabor, you should have used some method to live forever, maybe even live forever."

"Professor, how did you tell?"

Dumbledore's blue eyes looked wiser and deeper than before.

"This is a small benefit after going there. You can stay here for a long time, and it is still increasing in my perception.

After I came back, I went to see Nick. Although he could achieve immortality by relying on the magic stone, he was still lingering with the aura of the dead.You are alive, and you even have a divine aura that is different from ordinary people. "

Tabor blinked, suddenly hesitant.Do you want to go to the so-called world of the dead? This so-called little benefit seems to be very useful.

"Professor, you said you stayed there for ten days?"

"Indeed, I'm almost ten years older, and ten months have passed here."

Tabor shook his head: "But, there were letters sent before."

"Gellert should have sent it for me. He has been protecting me."

Tubo didn't pay attention to this. It was a good thing that Dumbledore was able to come back safely and solve a heart problem.

"So, Professor, are you coming back to Hogwarts?"

Dumbledore turned to look into Tubber's eyes, as if he wanted to see through him.

"I am ready to enjoy retirement life with Gellert. Having you here at Hogwarts is enough."

Tabor was speechless. Even he didn't know what the future would be like, but he didn't expect Dumbledore to trust him so much.

"Professor, do you want to become younger and even live longer?"

Dumbledore shook his head: "No need, neither I nor Gellert have ever paid attention to these things."

Tabor didn't force it, and he had no reason to interfere in the lives of even those closest to him.

Dumbledore did not stay long, and his return did not alarm anyone except Tubb.

It's like, just come back and take a look.

"Tabor, you are actually a very kind person. You always know what is right and what is wrong.

You said that in his position, he will seek his own government.And you did a great job, so I feel relieved to leave Hogwarts to you. "

What Dumbledore said before leaving echoed in his mind, and Tubo couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head.

It is clear that I am biased, occasionally act recklessly, and do whatever it takes to achieve my goals. In the future, I will decide to watch the relatives and friends around me die one by one.He even thought about closing Hogwarts and turning it into a private castle again.

Tabor was operating Occlumency, and his eyes were gradually filled with indifference.

"Eternal life is something that many people long for! Some people don't know how to cherish it."

Not in the mood to blow wind on the astronomy tower, Tabor returned to his office.

After so many years of teacher-student friendship, plus the books in his previous life, he liked Dumbledore very much.

Therefore, when he saw the aging professor, Tabor still felt very complicated.

There is both the expectation to keep him and the indifference of witnessing his death sooner or later.

Unless the divine power in his body is dissipated, he will inevitably watch the people around him leave.

Tubo had already made a choice in his heart, so after Dumbledore left, he isolated all the emotions in his mind.

Entering the office, Tubo simply took out a stack of parchment and thought over and over in his mind about what imperfections there were in Hogwarts.

"Principal Prince, Principal Dumbledore came back just now."

"I know, Principal Dippet."

Tabor didn't look up and just continued to write and draw on the paper.

"I want to be a man of God. Time is the best medicine and will heal all pain."

Tabor thought to himself.

"Gods and humans are not creatures of the same concept. When you really become a god, you will understand."

Tabor was stunned for a moment, and then his mind entered the soul world.

"Xiao Can, are you awake?"

"it's me."

Tabor looked at the irregular small body, and there was no longer a single crack on it.
