Chapter 296 Dumbledore's Trust
The effect of the famous teacher's guidance is surprisingly good, especially when the level of this famous teacher is really ridiculously high.
It took Andrew less than half an hour to master the most standard pronunciation, gestures, and wand waving methods. As for the matching, he would have to practice it slowly later.
As for the price?
No doubt about it - the pile of papers in Dumbledore's office doesn't look like it could have been piled up in a day.
"That's all. I'm going to find a place to think about how to better adjust your spellcasting errors. You can handle the files when you're almost done practicing."
Dumbledore said seemingly kindly - because Andrew speculated that Dumbledore had left the office at least three days ago and was doing his own thing.
Then the principal ran away happily, leaving Andrew who sighed and had no choice but to face his work.
'It's obviously a holiday, but there are endless documents to deal with. I'm really asking for trouble...'
He moved the documents away from Dumbledore's desk, Put it aside - hell, why hasn't the Christmas table been moved out of the principal's office?
But there was no way to delve into this kind of thing, so he could only open the first document and start processing it.
The first one was the repair work of the lawn on campus - this document made him stunned.
His area deformation is not a permanent transformation. Although a piece of lawn was subsequently split into areas that were transformed by the area, not all areas could grow into their previous appearance. It had been inappropriate before. , now no one interferes with it, just repair it.
‘Fortunately, the funding required is not high...Wait a minute, the principal didn’t specially select him to interfere with me, right? ’
It’s doubtful, but it has little impact.
The next document is more interesting, the book giveaway event was held - also during the holidays.
Several old wizards decided to donate their collections to the Hogwarts Library before they died. Then the time was adjusted to the summer vacation and various activities needed to be arranged.
‘Mrs. Pince will come back all the way... Now it’s just a matter of adjusting the time and arranging activities... It’s not a big problem. At least half of the books in the Hogwarts library came from this way, and there are regular activities. ’
The next part is the preparation of the so-called correspondence textbook.
Wizards who have not been admitted to magic schools and hopeful squibs will use these textbooks, but the effect is not good. However, the school does not care about this. It is the professors who are willing to compile a rough version of it under their name or simply in the correspondence school. Things that are produced after being named in the textbooks need to be reported to the school after being named.
It's basically approved. It's not Hogwarts in the name anyway, and the teachings are indeed real, but the learning results are often not good.
…
‘Huh? This one? ’
Andrew was stunned—no, did he approve this kind of thing?
Professor Binns' recommended course assignment - Professor Binns will leave school for vacation this academic year, and Sirius Black will take over the courses for the fifth grade, sixth and seventh grade advanced classes.
The remaining four grades will be temporarily represented by the remaining two professors. After Professor Binns's vacation, they will be evaluated again and selected for recruitment.
‘Keep it, I won’t take the blame. After the criticism, my reputation will no longer be saved by the professor. ’
He stuffed the document directly at the bottom, and then looked at the next one.
This is even more powerful - it is the professor’s acceptance notice.
! ! ! My dear Headmaster, what do you think about Professor McGonagall not hanging you in the Astronomy Tower?
The two of us decided - no, you let me decide on the appointment of the professor?
The Ministry of Magic will go crazy, not to mention the students, this is something that no professor should touch!
Fortunately, after he finally calmed down, he saw the recommended person.
He is familiar, Rubeus Hagrid.
Among the recommenders is not only the previous professor Silvanus Kettleburn, but also a familiar name, Albus Dumbledore.
‘What are you playing at? If you think Hagrid is suitable, then use it. Are you asking for my opinion? Who am I? Please, Headmaster, Professor Dumbledore, I am just a student. I have no ability or qualifications to confirm the retention of a very important professor. ’
He picked up the list and planned to stuff it at the bottom as usual, but after thinking for a while, he gave up and started annotating it with a quill pen.
‘The magical biology class has sufficient conditions, and it is recommended that the old professors be rehired for one year to lead new professors as interns to complete the handover of the course - Andrew Taylor. ’
He looked at his signature and put it aside - it’s outrageous, he didn’t hear about any teaching activities before he retired, so he just wanted to leave the students behind?
Professor Kettleburn, don’t even think about it, teach the new professor first!
If the principal asks him for his opinion, then this is his opinion - just reject it, no matter what.
Feeling much more relaxed, Andrew put the document on top of the processed pile and started working on the next one.
‘Increase investment in laboratories, especially experimental groups on alchemy subjects... Hiss, the alchemy factory outside the school provides so much research funding? Okay, okay, I agree...this thing requires spending money to make progress! We just need to set up an incentive system or something. It’s not a big problem, I’ll take care of it...’
——
"Albus, your recommendation has been rejected, and I am still your student."
The oil painting on the wall started mocking Dumbledore as soon as he returned to the office - Hogwarts The fact that the principal's recommendation was rejected by the students really made the old principal very happy.
"His fighting back means that Minerva is not too satisfied. I have never dared to be too willful in this regard," Dumbledore didn't care. "But when Minerva does not seriously violate discipline, He is always too easy on me. I believe in Hagrid and can even entrust my life to his protection, but I am still hesitant about the professor."
He expects more support, although. It didn't and didn't affect him to forcefully let Hagrid be the professor, but if he refused, it seemed... it would be even more interesting.
Dumbledore looked at the approval opinion with a smile, "What Taylor said actually makes sense. Professor Binns did a very good job. Hagrid really needs to learn how to be a professor. Silvano Si retired too quickly, we can’t let him run away like this.”
"You are really going to listen to a student's opinion, and he even dismissed your opinion!"
"This is a good thing, Minerva gave him a watch for Christmas last year, I agree with Minerva We can treat Taylor as an adult."
Dumbledore responded with a smile, "I don't think it's excessive at all. To be honest, Minerva has found an excellent assistant. , he can always use his young mind to give us some new and strange ideas."
"Okay, Albus, you are the principal now"
"Yes, so. I plan to write letters to harass our old professor.”
"But there are still half of the documents on the table!"
"Taylor agreed, and I can't let Minerva's assistant have the bad habit of breaking promises."
Dumbledore smiled. Ignoring the document, I began to write the letter.
