Chapter 480 Confrontation and Subsequent Response
At this moment, Percy felt a strong sense of unwillingness. Although there might be some problems in the Ministry of Magic, Yang Tian's attitude was too arrogant! It seemed that he didn't take anyone seriously! Thinking of this, he could no longer suppress his inner impulse and rushed out...
"Are you crazy? These people are staff members of the Ministry of Magic!" Percy roared angrily.
"Ministry of Magic staff? Do they deserve this title?" Yang Tian sneered, his face full of disdain: "Will the Ministry of Magic staff attack Hogwarts students without scruples? Will they ignore the lives of young wizards and only care about their Dementors?"
"They are just trying their best to prevent the situation from getting worse!" Percy still refused to give up.
"When the Dementors were approaching the campus, why didn't they stop them? When the Dementors were sucking the students' happiness, why didn't they stop them? They had to wait until the Dementors suffered before they remembered to stop them... And you! Where were you when the Dementors were hurting your classmates? Where were you when the so-called staff attacked your classmates? Now you come out and make a fuss? If you know, you are the President of the Student Union of Hogwarts; if you don't know, you might think you are a pawn of someone in the Ministry of Magic!"
Hearing Yang Tian's sharp accusation, Percy's face turned very ugly. His face flushed, his eyes widened, and he said angrily: "What did you say? You are insulting me and the Weasley family."
"Don't put all the blame on the Weasley family! And don't try to drag me to take the blame! I'm just stating the facts! Also, I don't want to have any unnecessary arguments with you now. Justice is in the hearts of the people." After saying that, he didn't even bother to look at the other party, and turned directly to the staff members and said: "Now, let those of you who have a say come out and give Hogwarts an explanation, otherwise, you can't leave today!"
The office staff looked at each other, and were shocked by Yang Tian's attitude. But they were not stupid after all, and soon the short and fat middle-aged man said with shame and anger: "Boy, don't be so arrogant!"
However, Yang Tian was not moved at all, instead he showed a mocking smile.
The short and fat middle-aged man froze for a moment, but he had to turn around and look at Professor McGonagall: "Professor, aren't you going to come out and take care of this?"
"What do you care about? How you use Dementors to harm our students?" Professor McGonagall asked with a grim face, "You have to understand that your Minister Fudge and Director Scrimgeour have signed an agreement with Hogwarts. I just want to say that you have breached the agreement! In addition, what Yang Tian said represents the attitude of Hogwarts. Go find your supervisor." Her tone was firm and decisive, making it impossible to refute.
"Professor McGonagall?" Percy couldn't believe his ears.
"Percy, there is a big problem with your mentality right now." Professor McGonagall said with disappointment, "No matter what choice you face or what contradictions you encounter, you should always stick to one bottom line. You are first and foremost the Head Boy of the Hogwarts Student Union! Remember, you belong to Hogwarts! You should consider the issue from the perspective of Hogwarts."
"Professor McGonagall, whether there is an agreement or not is a matter for the top management. But I must remind you that our losses are heavy. Dementors are the guards of Azkaban. If the losses are too great, it will bring very terrible consequences." The short and fat middle-aged man said unhappily when he saw that Professor McGonagall ignored him and focused on scolding the only student who stood on his side.
"Don't always think of throwing dirty water on us! You also said that he is the guard of Azkaban, but our Hogwarts is not a prison! It is not a happy blood bag that Dementors can take whatever they want!" Yang Tian almost roared: "I emphasize again, you have breached the contract! If you don't give us an explanation today, no one can leave." His eyes were firm and cold, and he completely revealed his determination.
"Okay, I'll report this to the Ministry of Magic right away!" The short and fat middle-aged man glared at Yang Tian fiercely, then turned and left...
Professor McGonagall gave the orders with a serious look on her face. She asked the young wizards to leave in an orderly manner under the leadership of the prefects of each college, while keeping Yang Tian and other study group members behind.
Percy couldn't believe that this was a decision made by Professor McGonagall, who appreciated him. He looked expectant and wanted to say something, but when he saw that the professor had no further instructions, he turned around and left unwillingly. However, his heavy footsteps revealed his panic and loss at the moment...
Soon, the three headmasters, Flitwick, Snape and Sprout, gathered together.
"Humph, Fudge is really going too far." Flitwick said angrily, "If it were me, we, the deans, should have taken direct action, but you refused to listen and insisted that Yang Tian and the students take the blame."
Hearing Flitwick's complaint, Professor McGonagall frowned and retorted, "Don't let them take the blame! Dumbledore is not in school now, so we can't escalate the conflict to the level of Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic. Besides, I believe in Yang Tian, he is capable of solving the troubles just now."
"Where did Dumbledore go?" Yang Tian asked in confusion.
"He went to Finland." Snape said grimly, "Besides, he didn't give an exact date for his return."
Although Snape said it simply, Yang Tian immediately remembered the information that Nagini had reported. The circus should be performing in Finland right now? If that was the case, would Dumbledore's target be the circus director?
Thinking of this, he had a faint expectation in his heart. If Dumbledore could really bring the leader back successfully, Yang Tian was confident that he would be able to obtain a lot of secrets from him. But now was not the time to think about these things. After a brief silence, he said with a heavy voice: "If this is true, then the next negotiation may be disadvantageous to us!"
Professor McGonagall also looked worried: "We originally thought that since the contract has been signed, the other party would have some scruples. But who could have thought that they would be so unscrupulous!"
"How about...let the school board come forward?" Draco suddenly interrupted, "After all, the school board members have considerable status and reputation in the wizarding world. It might be easier if they handle this matter."
His proposal immediately made several deans' eyes light up, and they had to admit that this was indeed a good idea...
