Chapter 371

In the headmaster's office, nothing seems to have changed much.

The branch hat is still on the shelf behind. Phoenix fox is squinting and dozing. The silver thin neck bottle on the long table next to the bookshelf is still puffing out

Only on the top of the wall behind the desk, there is another one in the rows of golden photo frames.

That is the portrait of the former principals of Hogwarts School of witchcraft and Wizardry. Whenever a principal leaves office, there will be an additional portrait of the principal on the wall.

At the moment, in the new photo frame that has just appeared, the old wizard with half moon glasses on the bridge of his nose is gently closing his eyes, as if he was closing his eyes.

But if you look for a long time, you will find that, unlike other portraits that can come and go freely in the frame, the old wizard in the frame has never made any action.

As if it were a Muggle photo, it didn't move.

"Mileva, the minister will come this afternoon. The schedule has been arranged..."

Suddenly, a man came into one of the empty photo frames and said something.

"Thank you, Evra."

Since just now, he has been standing at his desk, staring at the last portrait of Professor McGonagall, shifting his eyes to the speaker and nodding gently.

As she looked again at Dumbledore's portrait, the door of the headmaster's room was knocked.

"Benedictine Benedictine"

"... please come in." MEG turned back slowly and pointed at the door with his wand.

Before the voice fell, the door quietly opened, and three professors, flavy, Snape and spraot, came in one after another.

They are all deans of colleges. When Dumbledore died and the position of president was temporarily vacant, the presidents of the colleges became the top decision-maker of Hogwarts.

Although Professor McGonagall was temporarily elected as the principal's agent, she did not have absolute power to deal with some major school affairs.

"It's all here," McGonagall nodded slightly. "The Minister of magic will arrive this afternoon, but before that, I think we should talk about... The direction of Hogwarts's future."

"What do you say?" asked little flavie in a shrill voice.

Professor McGonagall looked at the Deans in front of him and went over what he was thinking just now before he continued to speak.

"First of all," she said with a sip of her mouth, "according to what Snape described, Dumbledore's death should not be his murder - he 'floated' down from the astronomical tower, right?"

Just then, McGonagall looked at Snape, and Snape nodded expressionless.

"There is no sign that the school has been invaded. We searched together last night, and there should be no problem about this." she said seriously, "at least, I don't think someone can sneak into Hogwarts completely without trace and kill Dumbledore silently."

Professor McGonagall's remark was unanimously agreed by the other two presidents.

"So, the actual cause of Dumbledore's death --"

"... suicide."

As the door of the headmaster's office was opened again, Maka walked quickly to several presidents and made a clear conclusion on the matter.

"McLean?" "Marca?"

When the four people in the principal's room looked at him, he nodded calmly, and then his eyes fell on Professor McGonagall.

"It's suicide," Marca repeated what she had just said, and then continued, "it's not convenient for me to say the specific situation for the time being. However, Dumbledore personally conveyed it to me..."

"This..." Professor McGonagall was stunned.

"But what's his reason for doing so?" Professor flavy shrieked. "It's not reasonable at all?"

"I'm afraid procrastination is one of the reasons," Marca shook her head. "Of course, there are other more important reasons for Professor Dumbledore to do so."

Judging from what Dumbledore said to him, there may be more changes next.

Although Dumbledore was "selfish" as he said, he was still working hard for the future of the world when he chose to continue on the road of magic.

Even so, he did not hesitate to commit suicide to abandon the physical body and go to the edge of death.

"In short," Maka said, "something worse will happen next. Whether it's Hogwarts or other places, we should closely observe and step up our prevention."

"Marca, is that what albus told you?" asked Professor spruot.

"Almost!" Marca stood up and said helplessly, "Professor Dumbledore doesn't like to make his words too clear, as you know..."

"Well... What should the students do next? Do you have any suggestions?"

Marca can see that after Dumbledore's death, Professor McGonagall's usual courage and determination have shrunk significantly.

Maybe she is also confused!

After all, so far Dumbledore has made all kinds of decisions behind Hogwarts alone. When looking at the current situation and development of the whole school, the position is different, and the scope of vision will also change greatly.

Although Dumbledore did intend to train Professor McGonagall, there were too many major events that had to be handled by Dumbledore himself in the most critical years.

Although Professor McGonagall has the ability to be the head of a school, taking over Hogwarts in this pressure period is a very fatal test for anyone.

In addition, Dumbledore's death also gave her a heavy blow, and her temporary weakness was excusable.

"Professor McGonagall, don't worry..." Marca looked at her calmly. "Just do what you want. We will all support you - Hogwarts was not supported by someone from the beginning."

To tell the truth, McGonagall had actually planned to suspend the school. The reason why she has such an idea is entirely because of the pressure from those impending landslides and tsunamis.

As soon as Dumbledore's death came out, the parents of the students were bound to shake Hogwarts's authority.

In the eyes of many parents, Dumbledore's existence is one of the important reasons why they choose to let their children enter Hogwarts.

However, when Voldemort attacked one after another, Dumbledore died inexplicably?

The public opinion of the magical society, the intervention investigation of the Ministry of magic, and the anxiety of the students... All these will make the school enter a turbulent period.

Whether to rally people's minds again or disintegrate is a major problem to be faced soon.

When there was no clue, he chose to suspend classes temporarily to protect the safety of students. "Yes! And the Ministry of magic, afternoon..." Professor sprott also hesitated.

"Of course, we should 'follow the rules'," Professor McGonagall was no longer confused. She said decisively, "we should not only follow the rules, but also hold Dumbledore's funeral publicly!"

"It's really a good idea," Marca agreed and continued, "but before that, there's one more thing to focus on..."

"What's up?" Meglio asked suspiciously.

"Professors, who is familiar with Garrett greenward? I need to focus on Dumbledore's... Um... Should be regarded as a 'once best friend'?"

Maka's words made the other four people in the headmaster's room jump.

"Are you talking about... Sybil's prophecy?" said flavy seriously.

"To be honest, I've never seen such a clear prediction," Marca frowned. "If the prediction comes true, greenward will be one of the enemies we have to face next."

"Maybe it would be more appropriate for old bines to talk about greenward..." Professor McGonagall thought, "although when it comes to greenward, everyone will inevitably think of Dumbledore's duel with him; but his most dangerous place is to control the overall situation."

"Mileva's right," said flavy, a little skeptical, "but... Greenward, is he... Really alive?"

"... who knows? Probably..." Maka shook her head.

Greenward expanded his terrorist activities, but it did not extend to the British magic world. So here, not many people knew the specific situation at that time.

Now time has passed for a long time. Although his name remains in various historical materials, how many people can really understand him?

Is Garrett greenward still alive?

Here, only Maka vaguely remembers that the first generation of the Dark Lord is indeed alive.
