Chapter 124 Scholarship System
"The House Cup belongs to Slytherin again, right?"
"Well, it should be no problem. After all, the difference in scores is so big - but this year's fighting is very enjoyable, especially in the lower grades. Potter and the others did really well. In a few years, I think he will be stable..."
Because the summer vacation is approaching, except for one prefect who is necessary to maintain discipline, the other three prefects have come to the office to work overtime - summer notice, report card summary, inventory of measures in the castle, financial settlement for this school year, holiday security work...
A series of jobs were all squeezed in, making everyone hope to quickly select a new part-time job - ah, no, a new prefect.
But it’s no use. The prefects are selected during the summer vacation. The dean needs to consider the recommendations of the prefects, test scores, and students’ performance in the school. The dean selects from the list and then reports it to the school. This process is doomed to be impossible before the new semester. People who come in to work,
Therefore, when chatting in the office, these prefects naturally started talking about the college cup that had not yet been handed out, and then turned to the recommendation of new prefects.
"If he becomes a prefect, who will manage the team? That is a rare seeker - we can't keep giving up the House Cup to play Slytherin, right?"
The prefects have too much work - even using a time turner can't balance the team and school work, and even playing part-time will require another prefect to work twice as hard.
After all, even talented golfers need training to get in tune with themselves and the players so as not to lose touch with the team.
"Let's cultivate another candidate for captain. Anyway, the seekers are relatively independent. Choose from the first-year students..."
Andrew raised his head and interjected, "Just be a substitute - I found that all major college teams have no substitutes. Although the games are limited and they may not play, normal training can also cultivate a tacit understanding. Besides, if the opponent Using self-destruction tactics can also prevent the opponent..."
As he spoke, he suddenly came to his senses - self-destruction tactics are not very effective in the magic world. Whether they are dirty or not is a secondary issue. The usual injuries that require replacement are just a spell and some magic potion, and it only takes a few minutes to repair them. If it is serious, it will be enough. That’s trouble—brain-patch magic has always made limited progress.
But this is not the most important thing. As a Ravenclaw, it is understandable to come to the principal's office to do odd jobs, but it is absolutely not advisable to provide effective opinions on the Gryffindor team.
"Substitute?"
Andrew stared at each other with an expression that said if you continue to discuss it, I will drag you out for a duel.
"To be fair, we won't use it until next year, just as something we thought about during the holidays!"
‘Go back and tell the prefects in the house that this is Gryffindor’s new tactic! ’
The other party gave a step, and Andrew could only prepare to make amends with regret - although his dean and Quidditch captain must know that not setting it up was a consideration, but he still had to say it.
Setting up an extra quota means that the academy has to provide an extra set of tools, including brooms, and more training time - if it had the ability, each academy would wish to set up a reserve team, and practice faster every time they train against each other. , but the question is whose family has the money?
But the deal was already done, and Andrew had no choice but to keep his head down and continue working on his paper.
——
It was not just Andrew who was depressed, but also Dumbledore in the principal's room.
He looked at the compiled scores and then at the Academy Cup that had just been sent to him, and it was hard to make up his mind for a while.
Before the start of school, he even planned to be biased at the end of the term so that Harry could integrate into the house with the help of the House Cup - Severus could be biased, so could he.
But not anymore - Gryffindor was more united than he thought.
Giving more Academy Cups would encourage fighting.
But to Slytherin? How dare Gryffindor, who had gained nothing, dare to do so next year - when he lost confidence in his honor, it became natural to ignore him.
In the past, Slytherin's consecutive championships were tolerated by students because their Quidditch team was really strong, and with a little bit of Severus' favoritism, they were crushed, but this year's Quidditch results were different...
"To other colleges?"
"It doesn't make sense either..."
Even though most of the daily work was handed over to Minerva, he still had to make up his mind on this kind of direction issue - looking across the table, those Nats caught Dumbledore's attention.
…
Well, care about learning and leaving behind knowledge...there you have it, final grades!
This immature suggestion was quickly shared by Dumbledore with the principals behind him, and everyone was full of praise for it. "What a great idea. Bonus points for first place overall and first place in subjects!"
"Plus a personal medal!"
"Add a little bonus and let Minerva handle it!"
…
The principals who watched the excitement and were not afraid of big troubles praised Dumbledore's genius idea and added a few details - there are no principals who dislike good students.
As expected of Dumbledore who could leave books to the latter in the library!
"It's just that the results are a little too heavy..."
"Indeed... let's add a medal for Quidditch, one for each person in the first place team, and it will also count towards the Academy Cup points!"
"feasible!"
…
——
“Set aside funds?”
When the demand was sent to the principal's office, Andrew and several prefects began to stare at each other - the school year was over, where could they squeeze it out?
"It's really not possible to let the Ministry of Magic name it..."
Andrew, who was overwhelmed by the bill, complained—he had been working overtime every day these days!
“With this amount of money, is it too much to apply for another grant?”
"Just add a greenhouse, and once approved, we can name the scholarship."
More than once, he saw Professor McGonagall hesitating and then dismissing the report of a new greenhouse - there was no way, it would be too expensive to build.
"You're robbing, Andrew."
How many scholarships are there? The greenhouse is made of galleons!
But compared to carefully calculating and allocating a sum of money from the bills that are about the same, this method is really simple.
So, about half an hour later, Professor McGonagall received an almost blackmail report from the student in her office.
About half an hour later, Fudge's office received the report.
"Do you need a large sum of money at the end of the semester?"
"Oh my god, how can I explain to those guys how Albus could apply for so much money at the end of the term..."
Fudge rubbed his forehead, but this was a work that had to be done, and he just had to reject part of it appropriately - no matter how much Dumbledore went, it was not to rob...
"Scholarship? Naming?"
He suddenly became energetic and looked at his assistant with disappointment - he had wanted to change it for a long time. He originally planned to wait until the next year as an intern to take a look, but it seemed that it was not necessary.
"Send a notice to logistics and ask them to connect the funds as quickly as possible. Communicate with Hogwarts and send a reply this afternoon - then we will inform you about the readiness of the funds."
"Also, prepare a speech for me. Yes, I am going to Hogwarts to attend the ceremony. Is there something wrong with the schedule? Postpone or cancel!"
This assistant was a bit too petty - he couldn't grasp the key points of the document, and the money he asked for was a bit too much, but he also said it was to build a greenhouse and it was not a waste. The money belongs to the Ministry of Magic, and the reputation belongs to him. No need to ask which one to choose?
