Chapter 468
In the lobby on the first floor, a large number of young wizards gathered to watch, and some people who were having dinner heard Umbridge screaming and ran out of the hall.
The vacant house on the right side of the lobby has now become a new divination classroom, surrounded by people.
"How dare you, a beast, point a bow and arrow at me!"
"Do you know who I am? Senior Deputy Minister of Magic, Senior Investigator of Hogwarts! Do you dare to attack officials of the Ministry of Magic?"
"If you have the guts, shoot an arrow!"
Umbridge cursed at Firenze, and many students looked at her with disgust.
Is this kind of shrew worthy of being their professor?
Swish!
Without any answer, the sharp arrow flew out of the bow, and Umbridge's pupils shrank sharply. She didn't expect Firenze to be so cruel and attack without saying a word.
The body had no time to react, and could only watch the arrow shoot towards his forehead.
Ding!
With a crisp sound, the arrow hit the invisible barrier, was bounced high, and fell to the ground helplessly.
"Stop! Professor Firenze! It is absolutely forbidden to attack other professors in Hogwarts!"
It turned out that it was Professor McGonagall who blocked the arrow. Even if she didn't like Umbridge, she couldn't watch the other party get into trouble under her nose.
If a professor was killed by another professor, who would dare to apply for the job in the future?
Umbridge still had a look of relief on her face after surviving the disaster.
She took a step back and protected Professor McGonagall in front of her, screaming: "You actually dared to shoot me?!"
"Didn't you ask for it?" Firenze's expression remained unchanged: "I see that your star of disaster is beating, and you are already on the way to death. I'm kind enough to send you on your way. No need to thank me."
The toad almost died. Just when he was about to spray back, he heard someone shouting:
"The principal is here!"
The crowd automatically made way for a passage, and Wayne walked in briskly, looked at the two parties in confrontation, and finally looked at Professor McGonagall:
"Minerva, what's going on?"
Professor McGonagall's mouth twitched. If she didn't look at the person, she would have thought that Dumbledore was back.
But now Wayne asked in the name of the principal, so it was completely fine to call her that.
Professor McGonagall talked about the cause and effect.
She didn't rush to the scene immediately. All the information was obtained from the third-year students in the divination class.
The cause was very simple. Umbridge was kicked out of the classroom by Wayne. Relying on her status as a senior investigator, she broke into the divination classroom and asked to sit in on the class.
Firenze didn't get angry at first, but just taught at her own pace.
But Umbridge kept finding faults, satirizing that his so-called astrological divination was all a lie. It would take more than ten years to get the verification results. What's the point of divination?
In the end, she added fuel to the fire and said when animals can also teach people, which completely annoyed Feirenze.= Lunze.
As for the arrow that Firenze shot just now, Professor McGonagall was still biased, saying that he was emotionally excited and made a mistake by not holding the bowstring properly.
The little wizards who were listening to the lecture looked at Firenze's indifferent expression that had not changed since the beginning, and secretly criticized him.
Is this called losing control of emotions?
Wayne didn't say anything after listening, but just nodded calmly.
Then he looked at Umbridge.
"Umbridge, I remember that even if the examiner has the right to attend the class, he still needs to inform the professor in advance, right?"
"That's right." Umbridge didn't want to admit it, but the legal provisions were clearly written, and she couldn't quibble.
"Very good, knowingly committing a crime, aggravated by one's own crime." Wayne chuckled: "Not only that, you also openly insulted your colleagues, causing extremely bad influence."
"Now you must apologize to Professor Firenze, and as for the senior investigator, you should temporarily stop being a senior investigator."
"Why!" Umbridge exploded, "This is an appointment by the Ministry of Magic, what qualifications do you, as a headmaster, have to dismiss me!"
"Because this is my territory, no one in Hogwarts can go against my will." Wayne crossed his arms and sneered, saying: "I will complain to the Ministry of Magic, and you are not qualified to enter any professor's class until I receive a definite reply."
Umbridge also calmed down. She was not afraid of being temporarily suspended.
After reporting to the Ministry of Magic, Fudge would definitely help her find a good excuse. It would only take a week or two, and she could wait.
Looking at the crowd around her, Umbridge wanted to leave here quickly, and did not continue to argue. She pinched her voice and said to the centaur: "Professor Firenze, I made a slip of the tongue today. I hope you can forgive me."
Firenze did not speak, just looked at Umbridge who bowed slightly.
Wayne glanced around, pulled out Newt who was eating melon in some corner, and said to Firenze: "Give me, senior Newt, some face."
Newt was so embarrassed that he couldn't even raise his head, and Firenze spoke.
"Since the principal said so, and Mr. Scamander is here, Umbridge, I forgive you in the name of Firenze personally."
Umbridge was disdainful in her heart, but still showed a contrived smile, then squeezed through the crowd and left in a hurry.
"Okay, everyone disperse." Wayne shouted, and the little wizards who had no melon to eat also left quickly.
Professor McGonagall was very satisfied with Wayne's solution and did not escalate the situation.
Only Newt...he always felt something was wrong.
It was definitely not Wayne's style to let Umbridge go so easily.
The old man was suspicious, but he did not show it. He quietly left with his suitcase.
He was just a substitute professor. He did not want to or was not interested in getting involved in the mess of the school.
There was just one thing that made Newt a little depressed.
It was clearly agreed that he was just a substitute teacher, but it was almost a semester. Hagrid alsoDidn't come back.
Dumbledore, who invited him, was driven away.
How can this be justified?
Especially since Wayne became the principal inexplicably... Uncle Newt is now afraid that he will become a regular employee after working as a temporary worker, and Tina will be so angry that she will divorce him.
Hmm? (To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
It doesn't seem right.
Tina dislikes Dumbledore, but likes Wayne more than her own grandson. I don't know if she has heard the news that Wayne has become the principal.
Maybe if Tina is happy, she can let him stay.
After staying in Hogwarts for a few months, Newt also began to like the life here. Pure retirement life is boring, but school can allow more activities.
Not to mention Newt's idea of becoming a regular employee, Wayne is talking to Professor McGonagall about tomorrow's arrangements.
"After class tomorrow afternoon, you and the other three deans will come to my office."
"Do other professors need to be notified?" Professor McGonagall asked.
Wayne thought for a moment, "It's not mandatory. Come if you want. It's mainly you four, but don't call some people."
Professor McGonagall understood what Wayne meant.
"You will need to worry about the school in the future." Wayne looked at Professor McGonagall sincerely, "What you were responsible for before will not change now or in the future."
"That's not right. Maybe there will be more things for you to worry about."
Professor McGonagall was very moved and left with enthusiasm.
Wayne was also very moved. With such a useful vice-president, it's no wonder that Dumbledore could disappear for ten days or half a month without worrying.
"What bad idea are you up to?"[]
After everyone left, Qiu, who had been watching the show silently, came to Wayne. As the person who knew Wayne best, Qiu knew that Wayne had a habit.
Whenever he wanted to cheat someone, he would habitually turn into a harmless and good boy.
Wayne did not answer, but just looked the girl up and down until Qiu was a little scared, and then he said:
"Bad idea... There is indeed a 0."
Wayne smiled and took Qiu's hand, "Student, this principal is very concerned about your academic performance. Come to my office tonight and let me teach you what the unspoken rules are."
Qiu's pretty face flushed. After following Wayne for so long, she also understood what the unspoken rules meant.
The relationship between the two was obviously normal, why did it become so strange when it came out of this bad guy's mouth.
"I won't go." Qiu broke free from her hand, and Wayne became even more excited. He held her in his arms and whispered:
"Qiu, you don't want Ravenclaw's house score to be reset to zero tomorrow morning, do you?"
Qiu's eyes were about to roll out of the sky.
Is this how you become the headmaster?
In the end, for the sake of the academy, the girl gave in.
WayneWan put on the clothes that Chiyo had just sent to Qiu one by one, working hard all night.
The young lady's craftsmanship is getting better and better, this silk.
Hiss...
On Friday, after the last magical creatures class, Wayne took Newt back to the office.
Wayne temporarily changed the layout of the room, expanded the space, and conjured up a large conference table.
After the two came in, he complained: "The design of the principal's office is really unreasonable. There is not even a conference room prepared. I really don't know where Dumbledore used to hold meetings with professors."
"Meeting?" Phineas pondered: "It seems... I have never seen Dumbledore hold meetings with professors."
"What about you?" Wayne motioned Newt to sit down, and then asked again.
"Neither do I." Phineas shook his head like a rattle: "I always go to each professor individually, and they come to me individually when they have something to do. Meetings are too troublesome."
"I can finish my talk in the auditorium." Armando Dippet said the same thing.
"Not formal at all." Wayne snorted and conjured up tea and snacks to share with Newt.
Soon, other professors came one after another. Wayne sat at the top, and the four deans were on the left and right. The professors of other courses were lined up one by one.
Although Wayne said that he would not force the professors to be present, this was the first call after Wayne took office, and it would be inappropriate not to come.
Of course, Firenze did not come because of his leg disability, and the person who came was Trelawney.
As soon as she came in, Trelawney couldn't wait to ask about her own affairs, "Principal Lawrence, when can I get my position back?"
Wayne comforted her, "Sybil, believe me, it will be soon. Professor Firenze is just here to help and won't stay for long."
Trelawney showed a satisfied look and sat back without saying anything.
Snape lowered his head since he came in, fearing that he would be noticed by Lawrence and teased again.
He used to be a professor and Lawrence was a student, and he was often tossed around. Now their identities have reversed. If Lawrence continues to behave like a nobody, he will have to consider resigning.
Fortunately, Wayne called the professors here this time, firstly to give some people room to display their talents, and secondly, it was indeed for business.
Without much nonsense, Wayne quickly got to the point:
"Professors, I discovered as early as my first year that although Hogwarts looks beautiful, it actually has many problems."
Professor McGonagall's face changed slightly, but she did not get angry immediately, but listened to Wayne's speech quietly.
A new official has three fires when he takes office. No matter how young Wayne is, he is the principal recognized by the Ministry of Magic and the school. Professor McGonagall will not take advantage of his qualifications to usurp power.
At the same time as the meeting began, a burst of hurried horse hooves came from outside the castle.
A dozen centaurs carrying spears and bows and arrows rushed into the castle aggressively..
