Chapter 314

Originally, Dumbledore had temporarily stepped down as headmaster until the investigation was completed.

But now he has resigned directly, which means there is no more principal of Hogwarts.

And all this is because of myself.

Harry fell into endless self-blame.

…

"Resign directly?"

John was a little surprised. He was surprised when he saw the announcement.

"Someone reported the Potter guys who were doing little tricks." Malfoy said gloatingly, "Potter, who always thought he was the core, has now made Dumbledore resign."

John chuckled and said, "At least they negotiated peacefully."

Dumbledore resigned voluntarily, leaving the headmaster's position vacant.

Umbridge wanted to be the principal, but Old Barty knew that this tool man would be abolished in the future, so it would be ridiculous and generous for him to be the principal.

The position of principal is vacant due to the fact that no suitable person has been found.

Regarding the choice of acting principal, Professor McGonagall should have been the one.

In terms of qualifications and status, Professor McGonagall is the most suitable.

It was a pity that Professor McGonagall was unwilling to take up the post, which also made old Barty relieved.

If Professor McGonagall continues to serve, Umbridge's Inquisitor will be hindered as never before.

You must know that Professor McGonagall is not Dumbledore, and he doesn't like to let nature take its course.

If Umbridge punished the students, Professor McGonagall would break up with the Ministry of Magic and kick Umbridge out.

"John, we need to talk." Daphne took Pansy to find John.

John looked at Pansy's red and swollen eyes, nodded and said, "Change somewhere."

They came to the Star Club.

It's Pansy's business.

To be precise, it's about Pansy's boyfriend.

I originally thought that Pansy, the love brain, was completely devoted to her boyfriend.

As a result, that guy turned out to be Umbridge's lackey, which Pansy couldn't accept.

You know that Umbridge was pressured by all Slytherins, but you, a third-year student, surrendered to the enemy?

Pansy is freed from her love brain and is full of disappointment in her boyfriend.

John wanted to give Umbridge a thumbs up after hearing this. This guy can also be used to treat love brain, which is really amazing.

Anyway, Pansy and her boyfriend broke up.

"So... isn't this a good thing?" John looked at Daphne doubtfully, "Why is she crying?"

Daphne blinked and said, "Oh, that's because I used the Howling Curse."

John: "..."

Pansy: "I broke up with him. Yesterday I saw him sneaking around and holding a bottle of something."

"what is that?"

"A bottle of poison."

Pansy secretly took a drop and fed it to a mouse. The mouse died on the spot.

Daphne said seriously, "I doubt he's going to poison someone."

…

Chapter 342 Acting Principal and Candidates

To whom?

With Pansy's little boyfriend's status and the people he has access to, there is no need to consider Gryffindor's savior.

So who in Slytherin deserves to be poisoned?

Malfoy?

Not to mention whether Malfoy is worthy or not, if Lucius is now Voldemort's general, it won't be him.

Then there is only one answer left.

John Wick.

As for why it was confirmed that the other party was sent by Voldemort, it was probably because Voldemort was the only one who could use such despicable means.

"Is it poisonous?" John chuckled and said, "Pansy, you did a good job this time."

Pansy didn't expect that she would be praised, which made her feel embarrassed.

"You don't need to worry about this matter, I will handle it." Keeping the two of them out of the matter, John said, "Don't alert the enemy."

Daphne nodded and Pansy wiped her tears. She still hoped that John would lift the howling curse.

Isn't it just the last time I accepted my confession while drunk at Daphne, and I'm still being held against him to this day?

Before Pansy could speak, Daphne quickly covered Pansy's mouth with her hands and eyes, and said with a smile: "Then let's leave first."

Pansy stretched out her hand to save her, but she underestimated Daphne's strength and was dragged out.

John watched them go out, rubbed the ring in his hand, and whispered: "The stage is ready, all we need is the actors."

He raised his hands high, and surrounded by starlight, a gorgeous crown appeared in his hands.

The soul-eating curse was wrapped around it, and there was a green light flashing in the crown, and finally it turned into an unwilling little snake.

…

After Umbridge forced Dumbledore away, she began her own rectification actions.

First, she started looking for former students of Dumbledore's Army for individual questioning. Thanks to that clever student, she took photos of everyone.

Umbridge came to the door one by one, and according to the Malfoy grapevine, Umbridge took a bottle of Veritaserum from Snape.

It seems that he still hasn't given up his plan to expel Harry.

"The famous Chinese philosopher Zhang Muzhi once said that he bullied you, but you pointed your gun at me."

Malfoy asked confused, "What do you mean?"

John said lightly, "It shows that good people are more susceptible to condemnation from external forces."

Putting down the newspaper, the headline read that Dumbledore had been discovered after admitting to forming an army privately, and had now resigned and disappeared.

A generation of white devils were forced to do this.

It's sad.

"As long as he was less kind and more cruel, nothing would have happened." John shook his head and laughed, "But then he wouldn't be Dumbledore."

Umbridge is not a qualified Slytherin, she does not have the vision that a Slytherin should have.

It was as if she thought Dumbledore was easy to bully, completely forgetting who defeated the first Dark Lord Grindelwald and who was known as the greatest magician of this century.

This was also the reason why she was abandoned early. If she had been smarter, she wouldn't have made everything so awkward.

But it was no loss to John.

Instead, John has begun searching for a new principal.

Putting down the four cards with the lion, snake, eagle, and badger, he looked at the cards quietly and took off the yellow that represented the badger.

Although Professor Sprout is an excellent herbalist, he is still insufficient as a principal.

Then he took down the eagle.

Professor Flitwick is an excellent professor and a powerful wizard.

With his tolerance for students and his pen-pal-like friendship with John, he was the best choice in peacetime.

But now was not the time for him to become the principal, so John let him go.

The snake and the lion were left, and John picked up the snake.

"Snape." His eyes flashed.

Snape's rise to power is very suitable for Slytherin's glorious behavior, but his status is not suitable for him.

Not only was he one of Dumbledore's people, but he also had the identity of Voldemort's undercover agent.

No matter which one, he is not suitable to be a principal.

After excluding him, only Professor McGonagall remained.

He put the snake down, but still didn't let it go.

"Snape is not good, but there is a Slytherin."

He saw Basil fly back and drop a letter at John.

With a smile on his lips, he opened the letter and read it quickly.

"Sure enough, when some dilemmas are put on the stage, Slughorn, who values ​​relationships, will also take the initiative to pay attention."

There was no one more suitable than him as the last Head of Slytherin.

The letter was from Slughorn, expressing his concerns about the current situation at Hogwarts.

Even Slughorn, who wanted to avoid communicating with John, came to him on his own initiative. John picked up the quill and started writing on it.

He pointed out that the Ministry of Magic intended to arrange for an acting principal to temporarily manage the school's affairs. Professor McGonagall was excellent, but she was unwilling to be the principal because of Dumbledore's affairs.

I believe that Slughorn should also know about Professor McGonagall. Professor McGonagall has principles on certain things.

Professor McGonagall would not do that unless Dumbledore was absolutely sure that he would not be able to come back.

But Professor McGonagall didn't want Umbridge to be Acting Headmistress.

He handed the letter to Basil, who had just messed up Malfoy's hair after resting for a while when he was called back.

"Leave it to Slughorn, if you can get another reply that would be best."

John stuffed small dried fish into Basil's mouth.

Malfoy fixed his hair again, and when he saw John getting up, he said doubtfully, "John, where are you going?"

"I need to find Professor McGonagall."

Slughorn might have hesitated based on a letter alone.

After all, in his mind, John was just a student.

But if other professors also want him to come back, then it will be different.

So John came to Professor McGonagall's office and knocked on the door.

Professor McGonagall was surprised when she opened the door. After all, John had never looked for her before.

"Professor McGonagall, I think I need to share some things for the school." John said with a smile, "I know you don't want someone to become the acting principal, but someone always needs to take this position."

Professor McGonagall's face sank, "You want me to be the Acting Headmaster? Mr. Wick."

"No, no, I know your concerns," John's smile remained unchanged, "So I want to recommend someone."

Professor McGonagall looked deeply at John and invited him in.

John also stated his purpose, "Professor McGonagall, do you remember Professor Slughorn?"

"Slughorn?"

Of course Professor McGonagall remembered it, but she didn't expect that John, a student, would have contact with such a person.

After all, Slughorn has retired, and Snape is taking his place.

John handed the letter from Slughorn to Professor McGonagall, "Professor Slughorn expressed concerns about the situation at Hogwarts. I think he will be a qualified acting principal."

Professor McGonagall picked up the letter and read it, surprise flashing in her eyes.
