Chapter 541
That night, everyone in Lawrence Manor had a good sleep.
When everyone got up, it was already ten o'clock in the morning of the next day.
After breakfast, Penelope hurried to the Ministry of Magic to work. The suspension of the Ministry of Magic in the past few days has caused a lot of impact on the entire magic world.
Crouch and Dumbledore are already discussing that if this continues, they will have to choose a new office building.
After Penelope left, Nagini also came to Celia's store in Hogsmeade through the fireplace to prepare for reopening.
Wayne suddenly thought of a question and looked at the little carrot head beside him.
"Gabrielle, which house were you sorted into?"
Gabrielle, who was absorbed in watching cartoons, froze in smile and said a little embarrassedly, "I haven't been to Hogwarts yet."
"Not sorted yet?" Wayne was a little stunned, and thought of something, looking at Fleur: "You haven't even gone to school, have you?"
"You're nowhere to be found, how can I still be in the mood to go to school?" Fleur said coquettishly to change the subject: "I'm going to pack my things now, let's go quickly."
After saying that, he pulled his sister upstairs.
Soon, the girls packed the things they were going to take to school and put them in the pockets of the traceless stretching spell.
Wayne shook his head helplessly, waved his hand, and the strange power enveloped everyone, the space kept changing, and finally fixed in the principal's office.
As soon as the few people stood still, they heard an exaggerated voice.
"Wow, let me see who this is, Lawrence? Oh my God, do you remember that you are the principal of this school?"
Phineas' beard twitched, and he looked at Wayne with gloating: "You are definitely the only principal who returned to school a week after the start of the school. Is your watch five or six days slower than others?"
"Phineas, do you want to move to another place again?" Wayne glanced at his portrait, and Phineas immediately shut up.
"I was delayed for so long to save the world, unlike you. I heard that some people took two months off to travel to Brazil?"
Phineas blushed immediately, "I was there to investigate the situation of other schools. How can the principal's business be called traveling?"
Wayne snorted and led people out of the office.
Hermione, Qiu, and Astoria went back to the dormitory to put their things, while Wayne took Fleur and Gabrielle to the professor's dormitory that had been prepared long ago. The decorations and furniture inside were all brand new, but Fleur was still a little dissatisfied.
"Can't I live with you?"
"Well, sometimes I can, but you still need some private space, don't you?" Wayne said vaguely.
The half-blooded Veela sent a contemptuous look and said nothing more.
It was not until lunchtime that everyone realized that Wayne was back.
"I'm sorry that I missed the opening dinner due to some things. Welcome new students to join the Hogwarts family. You don't have to go to school.Don't be nervous, just think of this as your home."
Standing in the main seat, Wayne delivered a belated opening speech.
The new wizards looked at the boy who was not much older than them curiously.
Is this their headmaster, who is also the senior of the sixth grade?
Many freshmen of Muggle origin were secretly amazed. It was worthy of the magical world. Even the headmaster was so different.
Some students who loved reading were already staring at stars and looked at Wayne with admiration.
Like Dumbledore in the past, many of Wayne's deeds were also written into books. There will be more and more in the future, becoming the iconic symbol of an era.
Wayne led his hand to Fleur - "Let me introduce Miss Fleur Delacour to everyone. She will be the professor of Charms from the first to the third grade.' "
Warm applause rang out in the hall. Fleur's charm was now irresistible even to girls. Many young wizards lowered their heads shyly.
With everyone's witness, Wayne gave Gabrielle a brief sorting ceremony.
What surprised him and Fleur was that Gabrielle was not sorted into Ravenclaw or Gryffindor, but into Slytherin.
Gabrielle was also very unhappy, with her mouth slightly pouted.
She had just been negotiating with the Sorting Hat, wanting to be sorted into Hufflepuff, but the Sorting Hat insisted that she did not have the characteristics of Hufflepuff, but had pure blood, so she was directly thrown into Slytherin.
"A hat, are you sure you are not mistaken?" Wayne asked, holding the silver-shining Sorting Hat.
"Of course not. "The Sorting Hat shouted, "That girl is definitely the best Slytherin. Let's wait and see. And don't call me Ah Mao. It sounds weird. I always feel betrayed three times."
"Okay Ah Mao."
Wayne responded, put away the Sorting Hat despite the protest, and observed the situation in the auditorium.
The surge in the number of students made the four long tables extend a lot, almost reaching the main entrance. The auditorium, which was originally spacious enough, seemed a bit cramped.
There are also lounges. Originally, the lounges and dormitories of each college were sufficient, but now, they are probably full.
Wayne kept all these problems in mind and prepared to go back and design a major renovation of the castle.
Now that his attainments in space have completely solidified the effect of the traceless extension spell, he can expand the area without changing the castle, which saves a lot of trouble.
"By the way. "Wayne suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Professor McGonagall, "Minerva, there are so many first-year students, how do you and Dumbledore arrange them?"
He had been busy exploring the void before and knew nothing about the school.
Professor McGonagall sighed tiredly. Wayne's performance as the headmaster... was even worse than Dumbledore, and Dumbledore also made her want to complain strongly.
When I was the headmaster before, I was not as motivated as I am now to come and help temporarily.
What the hell is this!
I have been cursing in my heart,But Professor McGonagall still performed her duties and reported: "The freshmen of each college have been divided into two classes, A and B, and the traditional mixed teaching of the two colleges is still continued."
"The professor's task is heavier again, with four more classes per week." Wayne sighed.
Professor McGonagall couldn't help showing dead fish eyes: "Principal Lawrence, there are two professors for Potions, Charms, Defense Against the Dark Arts, and even Care of Magical Creatures. What about the new professor of Transfiguration? I'm too busy."
Professor Sprout also cast a death stare.
After this week, Sprout felt that he was about to fall apart. He had no time to rest from morning to afternoon every day, and he had to work overtime to correct homework in the evening.
Every day, he had to use eye drops made from bubble bulbs to relieve fatigue. If this continues, Professor Sprout has considered retiring early.
"Isn't there no suitable candidate?" Wayne smiled awkwardly. He really pitted his own dean and Professor McGonagall.
"How about..." Wayne quickly came up with an idea, "How about you find the right person yourself?"
"This..." The two deans looked at each other and thought it was a good idea.
They kept in touch with many of their former outstanding graduates, and there were indeed candidates who were suitable to come back to teach. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
"Then I'll try writing a letter." Professor McGonagall nodded, and finally had a smile on her face, but soon, this smile disappeared.
The most suitable successor... is no longer here.
After lunch, Professor McGonagall deducted 50 points from Hermione, Qiu, and Astoria, and asked them to go to their office for a whole day of detention next Saturday.
She knew that Hermione and the other two were worried about Wayne's safety. From the strange actions of the Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore's seriousness a while ago, they could also infer the seriousness of the matter, which was human nature.
But the school rules cannot be ignored with a justifiable excuse. Asking for leave without reason will inevitably be punished.
So the scores of the three colleges that had just been added up were almost zero, leaving Hufflepuff alone.
Wayne couldn't help laughing.
Is this God's will?
There are three colleges, each with a girlfriend, but there is no Hufflepuff. It is estimated that Hufflepuff will win again this year.
Hermione and the others were sad. Seeing Wayne gloating, they immediately cast a death stare at him.
Wayne coughed twice: "Professor McGonagall handled it very fairly. Just do it. I still have a lot of official business to deal with. I'm leaving first."
After saying that, Wayne dodged and slipped away directly, otherwise his old waist would suffer after Professor McGonagall left.
After finding Harry and Malfoy and collecting the tuition for this semester, Wayne went back to the common room for a walk.
After determining the location where the space could be expanded, he went to Gryffindor, Slytherin, and, and finally came to the most troublesome Ravenclaw.
Even if he was the headmaster, he had to answer questions if he wanted to get in, unless he just Apparated and broke in, but wouldn't that make him look scared?
So Wayne came.
"Which came first, the fire or the phoenix?"
"The egg came first." Wayne answered with great confidence.
The bronze eagle door knocker was silent for a moment, and did not open the door, "Wrong answer."
"Can you understand the phoenix better than me?" Wayne looked at it with a look of idiot, and summoned the Phoenix King.
"Phoenix King, tell it, did you hatch from an egg?"
"Chirp!" The Phoenix King nodded proudly, and then rubbed Wayne's cheek intimately.
"Do you believe it now?"
The bronze eagle door knocker was silent again, but this time the door opened.
Although Wayne's answer was not the ideal one, the other party proved with facts that the egg was indeed there first, what can it do?
Because it was class time, there were not many students in the Ravenclaw common room.
Several students who were reading were very surprised when they saw Wayne, and hurriedly stood up to greet him.
"Principal."
"You guys, don't worry about me." Wayne motioned them to sit down, and then asked: "Is Ms. Grey here?"[]
Before anyone could answer, a sad and beautiful ghost came through the wall and looked at Wayne with a slightly resentful look.
"You finally came to see me."
Huh?
The students on the side were all shocked, this is a melon.
Wayne looked at Ms. Grey with a kind look, "You go to the Astronomy Tower and wait for me first. I have some news to tell you."
Ms. Grey's eyes flashed with excitement, nodded, and floated out without hesitation.
But after leaving, she felt something was wrong. Why did Wayne look at her strangely, just like looking at a younger generation, revealing... fatherly love?
Damn it.
Ms. Grey shook her head and dispelled this weird thought from her mind. It must be that she has been a ghost for too long and can't even distinguish human emotions.
Arriving at the Astronomy Tower, Ms. Grey floated in front of the French window, feeling nervous and expectant.
Could it be that Wayne really knew who her father was?
Wayne, who had determined the direction of Ravenclaw's transformation, didn't let her wait too long. Soon, he came to the observatory. .
