Vol 3 Chapter 492: Principal's life
With a lazy yawn, Jon Hart got up from the bed in the principal's office cubicle.
Slowly, he first got up, and then opened a black cabinet with a bright silver light on the side. There was a shallow stone basin in the cabinet with strange carvings, and seemingly mysterious letters and symbols.
Silver light is emitted by the things in the basin. It is like liquid and gas; it is bright white silver, but it flows constantly, spreading and spinning softly like clouds.
Jon grabbed the elderberry wand placed next to the stone basin, and lightly touched it at his temple. The all-silver flocs slowly drilled out of his sun, and looked exactly like those in the stone basin.
After guiding these silver-white flocs into the stone basin expertly, he put the elderberry wand at ease beside the stone basin, stretched his waist, and sat on the principal's desk.
There is no doubt that he also saw the "Daily Prophet" on the table.
"Fox!" he asked loudly, "have you paid this time?"
Just one day ago, Jon Hart received a letter of complaint from the editorial office of the Daily Prophet. The editorial office claimed that they had sent newspapers to the Hogwarts principal’s office for three consecutive days, but they had not After receiving postage and newspaper fees, Owl was frightened every time. The editorial department also threatened that if this behavior occurs again, they will stop supplying newspapers to the Hogwarts principal's office.
Jon was a little confused about this at first, but he was reminded by the principal on several portraits that it was actually the ghost of the Phoenix who had just been resurrected a few days ago.
In desperation, he could only coerce and lure him for a while, but he didn't know the effect.
In the golden perch, there was a bad cry, and it seemed that Fox hadn't fully woken up yet.
"She paid the money just now." An old principal with silver temples on the portrait whispered: "Although this time...that poor owl might be scared even worse..."
"Just pay!" Jon nodded, he did not hear the old principal's whisper.
……
picked up the "Daily Prophet", Jon began to flip through quickly from front to back.
glanced at the front page of "The Mysterious Man is Gone", Jon's gaze stopped at the same time on the lion-like portrait of Rufus Scrimgeour for half a second, and then he continued reading...
...The title of the second edition is "Thousands of Wizards Take to the Streets to Celebrate, Cheers to the Rout of "Mysterious Man"...
...The third edition, "The Magic Congress of the United States has strongly protested that the recent celebrations of British wizards may seriously violate the International Wizarding Secrecy Act"...
...The fourth edition, "Owls are flying around in broad daylight. Meteor showers are common in Britain, and the celebration needs to be moderate"...
Jon read page by page, faster and faster.
It wasn't until the tenth edition that he saw the "Memorial Albus Dumbledore" by Mr. Epheas Dogo, an old member of the Order of the Phoenix, that he stopped his movements and patiently wrote this The article is completely read.
"The Ministry of Magic is still the familiar Ministry." Jon muttered softly, with a somewhat mocking tone: "The Daily Prophet is also the familiar Daily Prophet!"
continued to flip quickly, until I turned to the entertainment section, and saw Rita Skeeter's "A joke or a careerist,-the boy who survived a catastrophe, and the principal of Hogwarts".
Jon suddenly got some character, he straightened his waist and began to read carefully:
"Our newspaper’s special correspondent Rita Skeeter reported that following the mysterious man’s escape, the principal of Hogwarts, the respectable Mr. Albus Dumbledore, also unfortunately passed away... While life is impermanent, but at the funeral of Mr. Dumbledore a few days ago, something strange happened at Hogwarts.
With the death of Dumbledore, the position of Headmaster of Hogwarts was temporarily vacant; according to past practice, an experienced wizard would take over this position. It may be Ms. Minerva McGonagall, who has served as the vice-principal for several decades, or the respected Mr. Flitwick. But the next reality made us a joke, or in the eyes of most people, there was a little prank.
Maybe you still remember Jon Hart, a somewhat talented, mediocre but ambitious boy. More than two years ago, at the Triwizard Tournament held at Hogwarts, he was also one of the contestants of Hogwarts... At that time, he had given full play to his talents, cheated the Goblet of Fire, and satisfied him The ambition to get ahead.
At the same time, at the end of the Triwizard Tournament, this ambitious young man pretended to be dead; when the "mysterious man" was about to fall, he returned as a "boy who survived catastrophe" Hogwarts...
Of course, the above behavior is no problem. Jon Hart certainly had his savage, but he did not cause any harm to others. But if he also used his little talent to deceive the late Albus Dumbledore to seek the position of Hogwarts Headmaster, it would be a big mistake...
……
...We have reason to believe that a person like Jon Hart can become the "new principal" of Hogwarts, using many illegal methods.
We are also looking forward to the Ministry of Magic's strict investigation of the accident at Hogwarts. "
Jon only looked at the beginning and the end, the dense pile of small prints in the middle, he all jumped to watch——
But he has not yet allowed him as a "subject" to express any thoughts about it. The principals and the principals behind them had already exploded one by one.
"Slander! It's all slander!"
"This stupid newspaper~www.NovelMTL.com~this vicious woman!"
"She has no respect for Hogwarts at all!"
……
"Calm down! Calm down everyone!" Jon had to patiently comfort these old seniors one by one: "It's just a little bug that can't cause any trouble, everyone doesn't need to worry about it..."
After the old principals calmed down, Jon continued to ask, "Are there any arrangements for today?"
"At nine o'clock this morning, you need to go to Azkaban, Jon..." Principal Chris Evra replied, "There will be an interrogation of the Death Eaters."
"Okay." Jon nodded.
At nine o'clock in the morning, there is still an hour and a half from now, and there is still time to have breakfast.
Throwing the "Daily Prophet" into the fireplace, Jon picked up a statue in the shape of a house elf from the other side of the table and tapped it lightly.
On the desk in front of , a set of clean silver tableware immediately appeared.
Of course, there are also various kinds of meals all over the table:
lamb chops, sausages, steaks, baked potatoes, potato chips, Yorkshire pudding...There are also a variety of desserts such as apple pie, mortar cake, chocolate muffin, fried jam donuts, wine dipped jam pudding and so on.
picked up the tissue and wiped his hands gently, while taking a sip of pumpkin juice.
Jon stood up straight, and at the same time picked up the knife and fork——
The life of Principal Hogwarts is so unpretentious.
