Settle at Hogwarts

"Okay, let's not mention the previous matter. If someone wants to sponsor intramural events in the next school year, follow the precedent if there is a precedent. If there is no precedent, the funder will make a proposal, and the board of directors can vote collectively."

Tabor didn't want to waste words on the past, so he simply diverted the attention of the directors.

If you want the game to go the way you want, use Galleons to clear the way.

The school directors obviously understood what Taber meant, but no one doubted the authenticity of his words.

Several school directors who had juniors in their families who were still attending Hogwarts immediately became interested.

If the only magic school in the UK achieves good results in the intra-school competition, wouldn't it mean that among all the young wizards, they are extremely outstanding.

For a family that is not short of money, this opportunity to use money to enhance their reputation is rare.

After chatting about some more innocuous topics, Tabor sent the school directors except Abraxas away.

"Abu, you look... haggard."

Abraxas twitched his lips, trying to show the Malfoy family's signature smile.

"I've got my portrait ready."

Tabor frowned, and he could hear the obvious weakness in Abraxas's words.

"Can you tell me what the situation is? Is there any possibility of getting better?"

Abraxas chuckled somewhat self-deprecatingly: "Lucius has grown up, and it's time for me to make room for the young man."

"Make room? Don't call you like an old man. You are only a few years older than me. We should be just middle-aged people now."

"You do not understand."

Abraxas sighed. This friend of his had been staying at Hogwarts since graduation, and he was not a pure noble, so he still lacked understanding of certain things.

Tabor was not running Legilimency, but he could still feel Abraxas's thoughts.

"There are some things I don't want to pay attention to."

Tabor stared at Abraxas's gray eyes that were getting darker and darker, but full of death.

"For the future of the Malfoy family."

Abraxas' tone was firm, as if he was about to die heroically the next moment.

Tabor stood up and walked to the window to look at the Forbidden Forest in the distance.

"Have you ever thought that Lucius is not as smart as you? Is it worth your efforts?"

Abraxas walked to Tub's side and watched dusk fall over Hogwarts.

"He is very smart, but that doesn't matter. As long as he is from the Malfoy family and is my son, it is enough."

Tabor curled his lips: "The Malfoy family is really doting on their children."

Abraxas patted Tabor on the shoulder: "Don't you treat Severus the same way? He's just your nephew. God knows how he would be pampered if he were your son."

Tabor was a little confused, he was very strict with Severus, right?He started studying before going to school.

When he actually comes to Hogwarts to attend school, he will be able to make potions to pay for his living expenses.

"It's a pity that I probably won't be able to see that scene."

Abraxas said with some sigh, with a bit of reluctance and nostalgia for Hogwarts in his eyes.

Tabor silently complained in his heart, even if you borrow another 500 years from heaven, you may not be able to see it.

"Although it is a bit abrupt, I still hope that you can help Lucius when he is in danger."

Tabor looked at Abraxas: "It seems this is not the first time you have told me this. I forgot how you answered last time. What I want to say this time is: take care of your own son by yourself." .”

Abraxas sighed, said nothing, and left silently.

Tabor waited until he left and stood by the window for a long time. He didn't return to his lounge until the sun went down.

The Occlumency was operating crazily, dispelling his somewhat chaotic emotions in an instant.

"e=(?o｀*)))Alas!"

Tabor sighed, Abraxasas' situation was indeed very bad, but what was really fatal was that he was ready to embark on another great adventure.

Even if his body is really restored, there may not necessarily be a better result.

Tabor shook his head helplessly. He was obviously mentally prepared to watch the people around him leave one by one, but he still felt a little uncomfortable when it happened.

"Tabor, why are you still here? The year-end dinner is about to start, and no one has seen you all day."

Watching Professor McGonagall gradually transform from a cat to a human.

It was only then that Tabor realized that he had actually been sitting on the bed all night and all day.

My body didn't feel sore or tired, nor was there any feeling of hunger.

All this made him clearly feel once again that he was no longer an ordinary person.

"Tabor, what happened to you?"

Tabor shook his head. He didn't want Professor McGonagall to know his secret, nor did he want her to be upset about something she couldn't change.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired of dealing with those directors."

Minerva watched Tubo adjust his robes with doubt in her eyes.

"I thought you were doing it with ease and even enjoying it."

Tabor curled his lips: "If they didn't control the economic lifeline of Hogwarts, I wouldn't be so... compromised."

Minerva felt that the principal had something on his mind right now, but since he didn't want to talk about it, he simply brought the topic back to the purpose of coming here.

"The dinner is about to start, you should go down now."

Tabor straightened his slightly curved hair, then cleaned his black robe to remove the wrinkles on it.

"I understand, Minerva. Do you want me to give you a ride?"

"It could not be better."

Minerva adjusted the expression on her face, and the next moment the two of them appeared at the teacher's seat in the auditorium.

As expected, the auditorium was already filled with students and all the staff in Hogwarts.

"It's great. I'm happy to see everyone here. It's the end of another school year..."

After Tabor said a few words briefly, he changed the decoration of the hall and then announced the official start of the dinner.

For a moment, the auditorium suddenly became extremely noisy.

The students excitedly discussed where they would go during the summer vacation.

The faculty and staff were also in twos and threes, chatting about topics of interest.

The atmosphere in the entire auditorium must be relaxed and pleasant, and even the sound of the clinking of cups and plates seems to be crisper than usual.

"Tabor, I heard that you are going to take the winner's team to visit Ilvermorny?"

Slughorn asked suddenly.

"Yes, Severus told you?"

Slughorn swallowed the food in his mouth and then returned with a smile: "Didn't you guess it all?"

"Okay, I do have this idea. However, in the end, only Severus and Lily were willing to go with me. The other two little guys chose other rewards."

Slughorn nodded, but did not go into details.

"If you encounter a wild thunderbird, you can bring back some feathers. That kind of material is difficult to find even on the black market."

"Okay, Professor Slughorn, I'll be back with some souvenirs."

Taber deliberately emphasized the word 'souvenir'.

Slughorn immediately understood what he meant. Although he was a little dissatisfied with Tubber's caution, he accepted it logically.

"Of course, those feather souvenirs are very meaningful."

"Tabor, you want to take the students out, and I was the last to know."

Minerva was a little unhappy. As the vice-principal, she couldn't seem to guess what outrageous thing her boss would do tomorrow.

"Don't be nervous Minerva, only my Severus and Gryffindor Lily Evans will go this time. The Evanses and I have known each other for many years. This trip can be regarded as My private actions.”

"That's my student!"

Minerva retorted with some excitement, even though she knew that her former professor had very powerful magical power.

But as the vice principal, don't I deserve to know some of his thoughts and what he is about to do to the students?

"Oh, Minerva, don't get excited. I didn't want to hide anything from you, I just didn't have time to tell you."

Professor McGonagall turned her head a little arrogantly. She felt that she was indeed a little too excited just now, so she wanted to calm down.

"Minerva, if you really want to know anything, you can always go to my office. In fact, there is a reason why I want to take my two children out."

Professor McGonagall felt the strong sense of gossip and agreed without thinking.

In the principal's office~~~!!!~~~

"What? You showed them the Mirror of Erised?"

Tabor nodded.

"Just because Severus likes it, that's why..."

Minerva stood next to Tabor's desk and slammed her fist on the desk.Then he said with a serious face: "They are not children anymore, but they are still in their teens."

Tabor nodded silently: "Don't worry, isn't this still mine?"

After muttering a few more words, Minerva left the principal's office after getting the answer.

The next day, when Tubb took Severus back to Cokeworth Town, Mr. and Mrs. Evans welcomed their neighbors whom they had not seen for nearly a year.

When he heard that Tabor was going to take Severus and Lily out to play, he sent the little girl and her luggage to a nearby house the next day.

This time, because I have two children.

Moreover, Tabor did not hide it from the outside world.This makes the winners of that competition, which almost everyone in the British wizarding world knows, will receive their rewards under the leadership of Mr. Principal.

Using the cross-border door key, several people arrived at the flower grower's house first.

This place has developed a lot compared to a few years ago, and Tabor saw his friends in the crowd at the first sight.

"Welcome, Tab! Although I don't know if that's a happy event, congratulations on your promotion to principal."

After Tubo politely expressed his thanks, he entrusted the Hufflepuff beside him to him.

Then, he took Lily and Severus through the international floo network and arrived at the destination of their trip.

Lily was obviously a little surprised to be able to travel to other countries via the Floo Network.At the same time, I compared the time required by the ship and the floo network in my mind, and silently thanked the great magic again.

"Principal Prince? You are finally here. I have been waiting for a long time."

Tabor looked at the woman who suddenly appeared in front of him, maintaining a polite and decent smile.

"Are you waiting for me specifically?"

"Hmm! Yes, I forgot to introduce you. I'm Xinir Macca. I'm Zane's friend, and I'm also the guide in charge of you and your students when you travel here."

Tabor didn't know whether she was doing it for Zane or because of the arrangements of the United States Ministry of Magic, but he didn't care if someone was following her.

"Very well, Ms. Maka. Can you take us to a hotel to stay first? My students are using the long-distance Floo network for the first time, and I think they need a rest."

Maka nodded and quickly fell into her role.

The three of them were sent to a well-decorated hotel.

"There are relatively few No-Majs here. As far as I know, the Ministry of Magic here is much stricter on the communication between wizards and No-Majs than in the UK."

Maka talked a lot about the magical world in the United States, and also introduced some scenic spots that are suitable for visiting.

It wasn't until he was about to leave at the end that he asked in a low voice with some hesitation.

“Zane, is he okay?”

Tabor raised his eyebrows: "Of course."

Maka breathed a sigh of relief before saying goodbye politely and leaving.

Tabor stared at the closed door and gently stroked his smooth chin.

Originally, Tabor thought Sylvia was too sensitive, but now it seems that Ms. Maca indeed shows that she cares about Zane.

Severus and Lily went to bed early in their respective rooms. Traveling across multiple time zones gave them a strange feeling about time.

But after the excitement, fatigue and sleepiness hit.

Tabor was not prepared to get involved in his former roommate's romance, so he just stayed for a while and then returned to his room to rest.

The next day, when Tabor woke up, he saw Ms. Macca again in the hall.

She was wearing a very decent women's suit and skirt, and her whole body was surrounded by the unique charm of a mature woman.

"Mr. Prince, are you resting well?"

Tabor nodded slightly: "It's good that Ms. Laumaka took the trouble."

"This is my duty. By the way, our minister also wants to see you after hearing about your arrival."

Although meeting the Minister of Magic was not in Tubber's original plan, since the Minister had already invited him, he should at least go and meet him.

"Okay, it's an honor for me to meet your minister. However, he probably won't mind if I bring two juniors with me."

"Of course not. Mr. Minister, an outstanding student from Hogwarts, would also like to see it!"
