Chapter 462
On the first weekend of November, the long-awaited Quidditch House Cup was finally held again.
And the first game was a battle between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff, the two teams with the greatest hope of winning the championship.
Slytherin, needless to say, has not caught a single Golden Snitch since Malfoy became the Seeker, and has gone from being the strongest team to only being able to compete with Ravenclaw.
As for Ravenclaw, the previous captain Roger Davis graduated, and the current captain is Qiu. The level of other players...cannot be said to be horrible, but can only be said to be ~ bad.
Only Gryffindor and Hufflepuff teams have maintained their main body intact, with little personnel changes.
And there was a small episode before the game started.
The so-called organization in the education order naturally includes the Quidditch team. Umbridge also wanted to prohibit Harry from participating in the Quidditch game as a punishment, but the Sports Department suddenly sent a notice:
[To ensure the selection of excellent Quidditch players, the Hogwarts Quidditch event will be directly managed by the Sports Department. 】
With just one simple sentence, Umbridge was deprived of the right to use it as a threat.
The notice not only has the signature of Ludo Bagman, but also the magic mark of Fudge. She has to obey it.
For a small use of power to pressure others, Wayne has gained 500 points.
This semester, the points he has gained from Umbridge have exceeded 30,000, and the efficiency has been greatly improved compared with the past.
After the points are sufficient, Wayne immediately exchanged the synthesis authority of the equipment.
Sure enough, this is the correct way to open the system. As long as he works hard without any scruples, it is estimated that he can become a god in less than two years.
Now he is considering who will be the next professor of Dark Arts.
Vovo?
Not so good. The dead Voldemort is the good Voldemort. He cannot be allowed to live too long.
Fudge?
Not so good either... At least Fudge has surrendered, and he is half his own man. Besides, even if he is asked to come, he would not want to come.
After thinking about it, Wayne found that only Snape is the most suitable.
Snape on the teacher's stand suddenly sneezed. He looked around vigilantly, and finally his eyes fell on the Hufflepuff audience.
Huh?
Lawrence didn't come?
Principal's office.
Wayne received a phoenix feather that fell from the sky. After seeing the message from Dumbledore on it, he frowned and rushed over.
He felt sorry for Fawkes. He used feathers to send text messages every day. It won't be long before all the hair on his body will be plucked out.
"Professor, what's the matter with you calling me so suddenly? The game is about to start."
Recovering his mind, Wayne asked Dumbledore in front of him.
"I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Lawrence." Dumbledore first expressed his apology and also told him the reason for calling him now:
"Recently, Umbridge has been paying special attention to my whereabouts and has also learned a lot about me.Less spies."
"It is safest to talk at this time."
Wayne rolled his eyes speechlessly: "Professor, there should be a limit to showing weakness. You shouldn't be so wronged, right?"
"It's just a habit." Dumbledore smiled.
When it comes to hiding, Dumbledore's level is still far superior to most wizards. Grindelwald and Voldemort were killed by him.
"Wayne, I asked you to come here today because I want to entrust the school to you."
Suddenly, there was a warm shout from the stadium, which shook the sky. It seemed that the game had already started, and Dumbledore also got to the point.
"You are..." Wayne looked at him in surprise.
"Yes, I'm going to leave." Dumbledore looked out the window: "Voldemort's whereabouts are becoming more and more secretive, and Tom's actions in the bear are becoming extremely intense. I plan to go and see. ”
“In addition, I have been very passive on the surface. Only when Voldemort knows that Fudge and I have completely broken up, maybe he will let go and reveal his flaws.”
“Wayne, I know your influence in the Ministry of Magic now.” Dumbledore looked at the boy sincerely through his crescent-shaped eyes, “I need your help to give Fudge a greater sense of urgency and make my departure a matter of course.”
Dumbledore knew very well that the school had become his shackles now, just like when Voldemort was rampant more than a decade ago.
Leaving the school could not protect the safety of the students, and the situation outside the school could not be controlled.
Fortunately, fortunately, there is Wayne now.
Although the child is a little more lively, his strength and character are definitely no problem, and he is even stronger than him.
Well, Dumbledore felt it since the last time he was beaten.
That time Wayne beat him and obviously held back
If the two of them fought with all their strength, he would most likely not be their opponent.
So with Wayne in Hogwarts, he could leave without any worries, do more preparations, and also let Voldemort relax his vigilance.
The only thing that worried Dumbledore was Wayne himself.
He was really afraid that after he left, the child would play too much and tear down the school.
"Is that so..." Wayne understood that this was Dumbledore entrusting his orphan to him, and nodded happily: "Leave the school to me, don't worry."
"It's easy to deal with Fudge, I promise to send you away happily. ”
Dumbledore: “........”
Why does this sound so awkward!
Having become the legitimate successor of Hogwarts, Wayne returned to the Quidditch field in a happy mood.
It was easy for Dumbledore to hand over the school to him, but if he wanted to go back later... that would not be a simple matter.
There is no reason to hand over something that has entered the pocket of the Lawrence family.
The game was not over yet, and Lee Jordan's voice was weak. Gryffindor was already 80 points behind, and Harry was also restricted by Cedric.The biggest contributor to the Hufflepuff team in this game was Ron, the new goalkeeper of Gryffindor, who didn't save a single goal in the entire game.
It hadn't been ten minutes since Wayne sat down when Ericson, the new chaser of Hufflepuff, found the Snitch and made a series of gestures.
This was the signal agreed upon before the game. Cedric understood immediately and gave up harassing Harry without hesitation, turning his head and flying over the Gryffindor goal.
It was too late when Harry noticed his move. The two of them kept a three-body gap until they caught the Snitch and the game was over.
The Gryffindor players left the court dejectedly.
Harry behaved well and was not too disappointed.
Since Voldemort's resurrection, Quidditch, which originally made him excited, has become boring and is just a tool to kill time.
Not to mention that he is now preparing for something more meaningful.
"Harry, this way."
A faint mosquito sound came into Harry's ears. He subconsciously looked up and looked around, only to see Wayne standing not far from the Whomping Willow waving at him.
Harry took the broom and trotted over.
"I heard from Hermione that you are going to teach everyone Defense Against the Dark Arts?" Wayne asked directly.
"Yes, Umbridge is not doing anything, but Voldemort is outside, I have to do something."
With a very standard sense of responsibility as a protagonist, Wayne nodded and praised: "It's a good idea, I support you, if you have any difficulties, tell me."
Harry lowered his head embarrassedly: "Can you help me find a classroom... just like the Room of Requirement."
He originally wanted to use the Room of Requirement, but Harry subconsciously thought that it was Wayne who introduced it to him, and it was a bit inappropriate to take others there, so he wanted Wayne to help find a safe place. (To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
"This is easy. I will find an abandoned classroom and cast the Fidelius Charm, just like Grimmauld Place. Only if you tell them the address can they find it."
Harry was overjoyed.
"So, if you can get 20... no, 50 people, I will also go there for the first class, how about that?"
Wayne gave Harry another surprise.
Harry knew that it was not easy to find 50 people with his own appeal, but if he could mention Wayne's name, things would be more than ten times simpler.
At least when contacting Hufflepuff, it would definitely work.
"Not including Hufflepuff students." Just when Harry was happy, Wayne gave him another blow.
"Huh?"
Wayne's purpose in coming forward was not to satisfy his desire to be a teacher, but to take this opportunity to stack up some layers of Dark Harvest. He had basically finished all the Hufflepuff badgers. If Harry took a shortcut to complete the task, wouldn't his work be in vain?
Harry had no choice but to agree with a bitter face and returned to the castle to start recruiting people.
With the previous preparation, the action of recruiting friends in Gryffindor was still very smooth.
Harry's strength was obvious to everyone last year. When they heard that he was going to teach students Defense Against the Dark Arts, not only the lower grades, but also many senior students were very interested.
For example, the twins signed up as soon as they knew about it. Harry felt that they were mostly there to watch the fun. []
In Ravenclaw College, Wayne's name came in handy.
As the college with the most girls in the school, regardless of strength and status, Wayne's face is an absolute pass in Ravenclaw.
Hearing that as long as they could gather 50 people, Wayne could teach them in person, many girls spontaneously pulled their friends to join, and the speed of communication was comparable to that of pyramid schemes, forcing Harry to raise some thresholds.
If they were too young, they would not be taught, and if they were taught, they would not be able to learn. If they were too good, they would not be taught. They could completely learn by themselves.
And Hufflepuff was noticed by Cedric when Harry and Justin Finch-Fletchley were talking about it.
But Harry didn't notice it, Cedric was not someone who could tell on others.
However, what surprised him was that Cedric actually took the initiative to propose to join and was willing to help him share some of the teaching pressure.
"A class with dozens of people is not so easy to control. You should find a few more teachers, or assistants." Cedric gave Harry some advice.
"Hermione is also considering whether to come." Harry said, "But she still needs to ask Wayne's opinion."
"That's great." Cedric rubbed his hands excitedly: "Teaching others magic... I haven't tried it yet. When will the first party be?"
"This Saturday, the Hog's Head Pub."
Cedric nodded. The Hog's Head Pub basically had no students going there, so it was a very safe place.
The two agreed on a time, and Harry handed over the organization work of Hufflepuff to Cedric and left.
"Remember to call Toby and Norman." A faint voice came from his ear. Cedric staggered in fear and looked back at Wayne in horror: "Do you want to scare me to death? You walk without making any sound."
Wayne ignored his complaints and continued to order: "Find an opportunity to let Smith know about this. Tell him the location and time of the meeting."
"Smith?" Cedric was stunned. "Aren't you afraid that he will tell on you?"
Recently, Zacharias Smith and Umbridge have been very close. He can often be seen coming out of Umbridge's office.
"I just want him to tell on you." Wayne chuckled: "Don't be afraid. I don't want to trick you. Just do it."
This is just one of the small steps to drive away Old Dumbledore.
He is not bragging. No matter how to get rid of the principal, he has already prepared hundreds of plans.
I just don't know how much righteousness Old Dumbledore can bear. .
