Chapter 236 Professor McGonagall is back!
Andrew simply couldn't suppress his joy.
He completed all the documents half an hour faster than usual, and also cleaned Dumbledore's office very patiently - especially tidying up the desk.
‘Hurry up and collect these, principal, I’ve been so busy during this period that I haven’t even saved many manuscripts! It's the holidays! ’
If he were not easily sued, he would even whistle to celebrate.
But it wasn't much different now. He closed the door, waved to the stone statue at the door of Dumbledore's office, said goodbye in his heart, and left the corridor of the principal's office almost happily.
"Oh, why are you so happy today?"
In the corridor, an oil painting of a knight clearly noticed that Andrew was extremely happy.
"The professor is back."
"Professor McGonagall?" The knight was stunned for a moment, then checked his picture frame, "Ah, yes, I am very clean. The elves did a good job, right?"
"Without a doubt, sir."
——
"sample?"
"Yes, there are three vice-principals. Congratulations to you. I'm afraid you will make a fortune before leaving school, or you may directly enter the Ministry of Magic - I think it is possible."
In the power laboratory, Andrew happily informed the news.
This experiment is considered a major breakthrough - only part of the laboratory products in Hogwarts belong to individuals, after all, a large amount of funding was used. But whether the school board of directors gets it or the Ministry of Magic decides to get the technology, it is a very promising one.
"We just published the manuscript and it won't be published until early next month..."
"The professor has almost helped you promote it. Now just look at the first-generation machine - anyone can see it anyway. It is very easy to simplify."
Don't worry about it being stolen - this thing comes with the Hogwarts label. Dumbledore's wand has great persuasive power in the entire wizarding world, and there is no such thing as controversial behavior.
"The main reason is that we haven't been able to solve multiple energy supply problems, but if we look at one individually, well, it has been extremely simplified..."
This is absolutely true - the current magic heating machine and light bulbs combined are no more than the size of the light tubes and lamps commonly used in student classrooms, and the brightness has also been improved enough.
“The energy problem, how to solve the energy problem?”
Andrew was quite interested.
"Permanent lamps can use expensive materials to make permanent spells, but the cost is very high," the leader Hufflepuff introduced, "but for ordinary use, we use alchemical oil instead, which can be filled with about one Sickle's worth of fuel. Keep it lit for, well, a month!”
Alchemical oil, the universal fuel for alchemical machines - the price is still a bit high.
But there is no way - the basics of magic power have not yet been analyzed. The materials required for permanent spells are extremely expensive, the human resources of wizards are not generally expensive, and alchemical oil is considered a cheap product.
Andrew didn't know how that thing was made - it was as mysterious as Floo powder.
Most products in the magical world are made by hand, such as potions, robes, etc. Alchemy machines produce only a few - such as fertilizers, shampoos, cloths, gloves, etc.
'I only know a little bit about alchemy, forget it, I won't do it anymore...'
"Then let's do this first. Prepare a batch of expensive and cheap ones. Do you have enough funds?"
"It's enough..."
…
Andrew said nothing and stared at the other person for a while.
After about half a minute, the Ravenclaw in the team gave the captain a hard blow.
"It's not enough..."
"Well, that's it. If you have a product to talk about, you write a report and I'll submit it and apply for a second funding increase. Well, you graduate..."
Several people looked at each other.
"The Ministry of Magic is a good choice."
"Well, then I will apply to the Ministry of Magic for additional funds and the report will be given to me as soon as possible."
Andrew nodded to show that he understood.
——"For hospitality work, talk to Dumbledore, he needs to be here..."
Andrew arranged it excitedly - it was just a reception task plus a report, it was trivial.
It’s extremely simple to increase funds and so on. After all, there is really a product - this is a small probability event.
In fact, after so many power tests, nothing came of it, and money had to be spent.
If you have something, just ask for money. If the other party doesn't go to the Ministry of Magic, they can even hold a school board meeting to see which investor is willing to pay a big price - even if the Ministry of Magic takes it, the profit ratio will still be there, as long as Just less.
'Hogwarts, it's really fun...'
He really liked that simplified lamp - it was the smell of change.
A greater transfiguration...
'Well, I think I might be a little too obsessed with transfiguration. ’
Andrew sighed, "But it's really great. After meeting the requirements for Transfiguration, you should also spend some time on the other subjects required for Alchemy. At least you can pass the threshold."
——
"Minerva is coming back?"
Dumbledore looked at Andrew who came in after office hours. He was still smiling and preparing to answer the transfiguration question, but after hearing the information provided by Andrew, his whole face changed.
"Yes, I received the letter, and we have to have a reception because the professor brought several vice-presidents."
Dumbledore's expression suddenly became strange.
"You can do this, right, Taylor..."
? ? ?
Do you want to listen to what you are saying, Principal!
What kind of nonsense is this!
I can make a Merlin beard!
This is a big event. Vice principals from other schools are visiting. You can’t leave us to fish on our own!
This is not an outrageous thing, this is destroying the school friendship!
“Ah, but I have a guest...”
Dumbledore sighed, "Very rushed."
"Please let that guest wait, or ask him to come to school and we will entertain him."
Andrew was extremely serious, but Dumbledore didn't look like he was joking - hell, what kind of distinguished guest would make Dumbledore willing to risk being killed by Professor McGonagall to do something outrageous?
"I'm not sure whether his body can handle such a trip. He is too old after all..."
? ? ?
Andrew was stunned for a moment - who could be said to be too old by Dumbledore?
But I have no idea.
"No, Headmaster, Professor McGonagall will kill someone. Please change the time. If it doesn't work, take Harry with you - he will make a fool of himself."
Andrew immediately thought of a damaging move.
Harry Potter, the owner of the fruit of face in the wizarding world, provided that the other party is not from the Voldemort sect.
"Harry?"
Dumbledore was stunned for a moment.
Then he shook his head, "No, it can't be Harry, he can't be."
Who, not even Harry Potter?
"Well..."
Dumbledore hesitated, then his eyes lit up.
No, principal, why are you looking at me, am I scared?
Andrew suddenly felt a sense of malice.
"That's it, you accompany me on a business trip...I'll talk to Minerva."
ah?
