v2 Chapter 443: To rob someone again?

Professor McGonagall stopped halfway through her words, because she turned around and saw not only Sean, but also Hermione, Daisy, and Stephanie behind Sean.

The Transfiguration professor's expression was a little weird.

She also knew that Sean's relationship with women had always been very good, but it was surprising that these three girls appeared behind him together.

As a respected Vice-Chancellor, Professor McGonagall, while managing students, has also heard a lot of "rumours" about relationships between students.

At present, because of Daisy Potter's silver-white fire dragon that amazes everyone, there are the most "rumours" between this beautiful girl who is only in the fourth grade and Sean. Of course, this has to be "thanks" The Weasley Brothers' additions.

Of course, Hermione Granger, who went to school together with Sean and grew up in class, also had a lot of "plays", but it was much less than Daisy.

As for Stephanie Ollivander, Professor McGonagall has never heard of any ambiguous rumors between the two. However, this petite, delicate-looking girl who is not allowed to enter the school is not small, and Professor McGonagall also knows that Stephanie's magic power is exceptional, and she has mastered her grandfather's stick-making skills.

The three girls in front of them took off their wizard robes, and they were more beautifully dressed than the other, and they happened to be at Sean's house...

Professor McGonagall sighed secretly, these are the three most beautiful girls in Ravenclaw!

But I'm the headmaster of Gryffindor...

She put aside some small gossip in her mind and looked at Sean and the others.

"Miss Granger, you are also right."

Having said that, Professor McGonagall took out two letters and handed them to Sean and Hermione.

Sean took it slightly suspiciously, while Hermione's doubts only lasted for a short while. After she took the letter, she seemed to remember something, and her face flushed slightly excited red.

Does Hermione know what this is?

Sean suspiciously opened the letter with the Hogwarts badge.

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore

(President of the International Confederation of Wizards, Level 1 Sir Merlin, Grand Mage, Chief Mage of Wizengamore)

Dear Mr. Wallup, it is our pleasure and solemnity to inform you that you have been selected to be the new Boys Prefect of Ravenclaw House, beginning in Year 5 and ending with the graduation of Year 7.

As a prefect, your rights and obligations include:  …

A lot was written on the parchment, summarizing the special rights and obligations of the prefect, plus some words of congratulations and encouragement, this is the content of the entire letter.

Prefect... Sean scratched his head helplessly.

Frankly speaking, he was expected to become a prefect. No matter what, Sean is the best candidate for Ravenclaw's new prefect. It's just that Sean felt that he personally didn't need this privileged identity, mainly because he didn't want to take those responsibilities.

The prefect has a lot of things to do, which is quite troublesome...

He is willing to solve big troubles, and he is willing to pay for Hogwarts. For small troubles... Sean feels a little lazy.

But... he glanced sideways at Hermione.

The girl was reading the letter carefully, and the joy on her face could already be clearly seen.

If the partner is Hermione, it seems like it might be possible--I don't need to do much work?

Professor McGonagall waited for both of them to read the letter before saying, "Congratulations, Mr. Wallop, Miss Granger, you are now the new prefect of Ravenclaw."

"Thank you, Professor!" Hermione responded excitedly immediately.

Sean also said a word of thanks, but he obviously didn't look so excited.

On the side, Mrs. Wallup had taken Sean's letter and read it. Her face was full of joy and excitement. She first expressed her gratitude to Professor McGonagall and Hogwarts. Then gave Sean a hug.

"Oh, my dear, congratulations, I'm so proud of you, and your father must think so too."

"Thank you, Mom." Sean smiled gently, his mother's appreciation still needed to be responded to.

Then he looked at Professor McGonagall and waited for the next paragraph.

As far as he knows, the appointment of prefects of the four major colleges is generally selected by the dean of the college, and then handed over to the president and vice-principal for decision-in fact, it is just a process, and the list submitted is the final decision.

Moreover, the appointment of prefects is generally done with a letter, and the professor will not make a special trip - especially the professor McGonagall who sent the letter is the dean of Gryffindor.

This shows that the appointment letter for the prefect is just a matter of passing, and there should be other things to discuss with Sean.

Sure enough, Professor McGonagall continued: "Prefect is a new learning path. I hope you both can do your best. Of course, I have always been assured of the two students in the first and second grades."

"I'll work harder, Professor McGonagall!" Hermione was so immersed in the joy of becoming a prefect that she wished to swear when she promised.

"Well, Miss Granger, come on, I'm very optimistic about you. By the way—" Professor McGonagall changed the subject, "Mr. Wallop, can I talk to you alone?"

"Of course, Professor, come here."

Sean led Professor McGonagall into the private meeting room they had just come out of, and then closed the door.

"Sean, it looks like you've been waiting for me to speak?" Professor McGonagall turned around and looked at him.

Xiao En spread his hands: "Professor, I don't know that you made a special trip for the two letters of appointment - what is the main purpose of your coming to me?"

Professor McGonagall pushed his glasses, and said sternly: "There is a new position, no, the original temporary position has been reactivated. Professor Dumbledore asked me to give this position to you."

"The old position is reactivated?" Sean was taken aback for a moment, and then he reacted, "The person in charge of admissions?"

He hadn't held any positions before, and now it's the admissions season, so he can only be the person in charge of admissions.

Professor McGonagall nodded: "Professor Dumbledore and I hope that you can serve as the head of Hogwarts admissions again. Of course, this is a request, not a requirement. Although I hope you can agree, But it's all up to your personal will."

As he spoke, Professor McGonagall's expression softened, with some apology on his face.

"You've been through a lot of things that shouldn't have been yours, being a professor and a vice-principal, and having a student take the risk to fight, which makes me especially ashamed - and now it's all in your hands... "

Sean showed his white teeth: "Professor, please don't have such a burden. To be honest, I quite enjoy adventures - I may have some Gryffindor qualities in my bones."

Professor McGonagall showed a deep regret: "Oh, don't mention it, you were not assigned to Gryffindor."

"Hahaha, it's all Hogwarts anyway—by the way, professor, I can agree to this position, but you have to tell me the specific situation."

The person in charge of admissions, this is very desirable for Sean, who wants to cultivate his own power from a doll. The most detailed information of each student can be sent to Sean as soon as possible, which gives him a kind of SSR in the card pool. of pleasure.

Moreover, Professor McGonagall also emphasized just now that this is a position that Professor Dumbledore hopes he can take down.

This shows that the old man who loves to play dumb puzzles also acquiesced to Sean to form his own faction. It can even be said that Sean now wants to form a new faction named Wallop in Hogwarts. His background is the whole Hogwarts. All of the professors at Ts...

Of course, Dumbledore may have a deeper meaning, but this is not something Sean has to consider - never try to ponder the mind of a Riddler...

Professor McGonagall smiled when she heard Sean agree, and she said, "Sure enough, Albus said you would definitely agree."

Sean spread his hands helplessly, Dumbledore could definitely guess what he was thinking.

"Let me explain the current enrollment situation to you first."

"Okay, sit down and talk, Professor."

Professor McGonagall nodded and sat down, then explained: "You also participated in the last recruitment, but that was a special case. Everything was carried out in the most efficient and direct way, but normal recruitment cannot be like this. already."

"Sean, do you remember when you received the admission letter?"

Sean nodded with a smile: "Of course, Professor, I will never forget that day in my life."

Professor McGonagall also smiled when he heard the words: "I don't know if you have noticed one thing, but Charlotte, the president of our Hogwarts student union, came to your house at that time. Colton, the student council president—did you think they just arrived at the same time?"

After hearing this, Sean recalled and said: "It was true that Charlotte came to my house first, and then Colton followed closely-I remember that Charlotte was very uncomfortable because she was always followed by Colton. accurate."

Professor McGonagall smiled helplessly: "The two of them have some strange festivals - not to mention them, in fact, you did not happen to meet the two recruiters, but Hogwarts and Newmont. The recruitment of Gad is carried out simultaneously."

Sean nodded thoughtfully.

"It seems that you should have thought of the key point - yes, now, in the magic schools all over the world, except for a few stubborn so-called pure-blood aristocratic schools, most of the students in other schools come from Muggles. family."

"And Muggle families obviously haven't been exposed to magic before, and they don't understand magic schools, which leads to the fact that no matter which school's admissions officers come first, as long as they prove the existence of magic, they will almost certainly be recruited. that student."

Professor McGonagall sighed with a headache: "I didn't have this trouble originally. After all, the origin of Hogwarts is basically in the UK, and other schools of magic won't come and rob us."

"But since the establishment of Nurmengard, in order to quickly recruit students, the whole of Europe has become a place for them to compete, and the new generation of Muggle families has become the most popular pastry - in those days, the newly established Nurmengard With early admissions all over Europe, there were only twenty-one new Hogwarts students that year, and eighteen of them were from wizarding families."

Sean smiled awkwardly, this unreasonable style of directly grabbing people is really Grindelwald...

Professor McGonagall continued: "Then, the major schools, whether it's Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, or even Kodos Doris in Russia, have opened their admissions ahead of time - because you only need to be more than Numonga If the German admissions officers step in at night, then the new Muggle family must be theirs."

"For this reason, major schools have recruited students in advance, and schools lacking students have also found young wizards in other areas. I hadn't joined Hogwarts at the time, but I heard that the original July enrollment was constantly advanced, and finally even In earlier June, May, etc., and even the Christmas holidays of the previous year, the new students of the second year were directly recruited."

"This has directly led to the confusion of students in various schools. Some schools have recruited too many students, and the teachers and facilities cannot keep up. Some schools have recruited students with completely different languages. As a result, that student can only learn foreign languages ​​in the first two years of school. And some schools are completely out of students, and there are only a few people walking around the school all day."

"It can be said that because of the appearance of Nurmengard, the magic education world at that time was extremely chaotic, but—"

Professor McGonagall sighed.

Sean knew what he wanted to say, but the headmaster of Nurmengard was that unreasonable guy from Grindelwald...

It doesn't matter to him that other schools close down or load, as long as his own Nurmengard can recruit people. Moreover, whether it is the faculty, equipment, or language barriers, Grindelwald, who has many saints, can easily find a bunch of loyal and loyal professors - even without salary.

"And after that?" Sean asked.

"The first thing that Professor Dumbledore did when he became the headmaster of Hogwarts was to find Grindelwald, who was the headmaster of Nurmengard at the time, and then he contacted the headmasters of other schools of magic, and finally made a decision. "

"The admissions of each school are still in accordance with the previous scope, and the scope of admissions in Nurmengard is limited to Europe and its vicinity, and the admissions staff of Nurmengard must cooperate with other schools when entering the admissions scope of other schools. peers of admissions staff.”

Sean suddenly realized and nodded. So it was. No wonder Charlotte and Colton came together. It wasn't a coincidence at all, but the two had to act together.

"So, the final admissions selection has become the eloquence and ability display of admissions personnel between schools. Although it is a lot more troublesome than the initial admissions process, it is not so chaotic after all."

"Such an enrollment model has been maintained until now under constant adjustment. Of course, last year's enrollment process was a special case - you can also feel it, in fact, when Nurmengard was first established, the major schools were so robbing people. "Professor McGonagall shook her head helplessly.

Sean asked: "What about this year? Do you still want to rob someone? If you want to rob someone, I have to find someone to help right away."

"Not this year, not this year," Professor McGonagall said hurriedly, "Professor Dumbledore contacted the principals of those schools, and finally returned the general situation."

Sean was about to stand up and sat down again. He nodded: "Then what is my main job as an admissions officer?"

"On the one hand, you have to come to recruit students like Charlotte, on the other hand, you also need to be responsible for coordinating the overall enrollment plan, and the other recruiters, the president of the male and female student union, and several professors are all under your command. , there is another reason why I found you."

"What?" Sean asked curiously.

Professor McGonagall smiled: "Because of your eloquence and ability."

"Eloquence and ability?" Sean laughed.

Professor McGonagall nodded seriously: "Yes, you should also know that after the rise of Nurmengard, a lot of students from other schools have been robbed. Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say, The admissions staff at Mongard are smarter than the ones we send, and they can always convince the little wizard to choose New Mongard over Hogwarts."

"So, you want me?"

"Snatch back the source of students - you also know the specific situation in the last admissions session, then you also know that the scope of admissions of several major schools overlaps, and some small countries rely on their own abilities - in previous years, Newmont was basically the same. The one that Gad snatched away."

Professor McGonagall pushed his glasses again, and there was an inexplicable light in his eyes.

"With your eloquence and ability, I think you can get back a lot of students."

Sean patted his head: "The people sent by Nurmengard should be very professional, I'm not sure."

"In my opinion, no matter how well the people in Nurmengard learn, they are not as good as you." Professor McGonagall raised a rare brow.

Sean smirked.

Professor McGonagall is implying why the people from Nurmengard can grab the source of students, because Grindelwald taught them well - but who can compare to Sean who was taught by Grindelwald himself?

As for inciting people and stirring emotions, Sean learned the essence from Grindelwald.

Moreover, his identity has a natural advantage among the Nurmengards... I am the closed disciple of the old principal whom you collectively worship...

"In addition, Professor Dumbledore asked me to bring you a message. He said that you can only do it yourself."

Having said that, Professor McGonagall handed over a parchment imprisoned by magic.

The moment Sean touched it, the magic bond on the parchment was automatically released.

Such high-level magic, I've never seen it before... Sean raised his brows in surprise.

He unfolded the parchment and saw Dumbledore's familiar handwriting.

"Dear Sean:"

"Forgive me for not being able to show up directly to provide you with more help and guidance. I think you are smart enough to guess some general reasons."

"These words are not written for this invalid apology. Although I crave your forgiveness for my inaction, there are more important and important things that I need to complete right now."

"I want to ask you one thing, when you receive the admissions scope, you should be able to notice that the Hogwarts scope of admissions overlaps with Durmstrang in part. I hope you can take you as far as possible. All the students that can be taken away, that is, to reduce the number of students from Durmstrang.”

"In addition, there are several neutral areas, which were recruited by Nurmengard in previous years, but after last year's admissions accident, the four major magic schools are all eyeing them."

"My request for you is still to recruit as long as you can. If you can't recruit students there, don't let Durmstrang recruit them. You can give it to Beauxbatons and Nurmengard."

"I'm a little embarrassed to make so many demands, but this may be of great importance. I hope you can all go well. In addition, I attach Durmstrang's enrollment scope and order of enrollment in previous years."

"Your faithful: Albus Dumbledore."

Underneath the parchment was a map that marked a large number of locations, basically all within Germany and Northern Europe, and attached Durmstrang's order of recruiters.

Hiss... Sean sucked in a breath of cold air.

Dumbledore's meaning is too obvious, Durmstrang is likely to have a problem, so try to prevent the other party from recruiting little wizards.

And the final scope and chronological order were almost clearly told to Sean - if you are free, go directly to Durmstrang to recruit students.

Isn't it said that the principals have discussed it, Dumbledore's hand is really insidious enough...

But it is also more proving that Durmstrang may have a big problem right now.

"Are you finished?" Professor McGonagall asked.

"Well, I understand what Professor Dumbledore means," Sean replied.

"Okay, I won't bother you any more," Professor McGonagall nodded. "You decide what Albus instructs you to do, and the admissions process will start the day after tomorrow. Come and gather at Hogwarts."

"This is the door key. On the one hand, it is convenient for you to come to Hogwarts. On the other hand, the situation outside is relatively tense. This door key was made by Professor Dumbledore himself. His original words are 'when you run away. It's convenient and very durable'."

Sean took a pair of thick wool socks that Professor McGonagall took out, looked at them, and put them into his arms.

Dumbledore was quite thoughtful.

"That's about it. See you at Hogwarts at eight o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow?" Professor McGonagall said.

"Okay, Professor, see you then."

The two walked towards the door. When Sean was about to open the door, Professor McGonagall suddenly turned his head and smiled at him.

"Actually, there is a selfishness."

"Huh? How do you say it, Professor." Sean asked curiously.

"Although a lot has happened in the past year, everyone is still working hard to make everything develop normally - so the activities of the next school year will continue as usual."

Sean immediately reacted: "The Goblet of Fire, has it been decided to hold it as scheduled?"

"That's right," said Professor McGonagall with a sigh, "Nurmengard has all won the last few sessions..."

"Then what did you mean by selfishness?"

Professor McGonagall looked at Sean quietly: "Of course, I hope you can participate."

Sean laughed and shook his head: "Professor, I remember the Triwizard Tournament, oh no, it's the Final Four tournament, you have to be an adult to participate, right? Frankly speaking, even if the Goblet of Fire is delayed by another year, I won't be able to catch up. , my birthday is in November."

"Yes, because of this, Hogwarts needs to show you a proof of sufficient weight."
