The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

Chapter 137: Dumbledore's compromise

"Link!"

Professor McGonagall lowered his voice and called to Link.

She felt that Link was a little too courageous, and even if Dumbledore was usually easygoing, he still had a temper after all.

However, Link ignored her at all, still fighting Dumbledore.

After a long time, Dumbledore suddenly smiled.

He looked at Link cheerfully and said:

"You know? Link, the way you just reminded me of Severus, you two are so alike!"

Link didn't speak, but still looked at him silently.

This made Dumbledore sigh, and then he sat back at the eagle's table and said:

"Then talk about it, Link. Let me see what reason you have for me to do this."

Hearing that, Link's mouth raised a meaningful smile and said:

"At present, my mother is in contact with 12 Hogwarts school directors, including the Shafik family and the McRanch family, and is trying to replace one or more of them through peaceful discussions. ."

As soon as Link finished speaking, the expressions of Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall became straightened.

Especially Professor McGonagall, she pressed her lips tightly, and the force even caused her to lose the blood on her rosy lips.

In fact, she can't be blamed for having such a big reaction.

Because Hogwarts has only two sources of economic resources, one is the policy support of the Ministry of Magic.

For example, new students can buy magic wands at a very low price.

Another example is that Muggle students can exchange Muggle currency from Gringotts for a certain amount of wizard currency each year when they enroll.

This is actually a special aid policy formulated by the Ministry of Magic.

Otherwise, what is the use of a wizard asking for pounds?

Doesn't it fragrant to copy gold directly by copying it into a double curse?

But although the Ministry of Magic can help Hogwarts in these places, it's different where real money is needed.

At this time, it was the turn of the school board to appear.

The Hogwarts Board of Trustees has a total of 12 school directors. These school directors will pay a huge amount of wealth every year to maintain Hogwarts such as professors’ salaries, potions and alchemy, and other disciplines. The daily repairs and maintenance of Gwarts Castle and financial assistance for a very small number of poor students.

And because they have seized the economic lifeline of Hogwarts, the school directors have unparalleled control over Hogwarts.

Their children not only have the right to ride on the Hogwarts Express in the special school board.

And they themselves also have the right to dismiss any employee in Hogwarts, including the principal.

As for whether the Foley family can intervene in the decision of the school board, Professor McGonagall has no doubts about it.

Because Hogwarts, under the strong pressure of the Ministry of Magic and previous principals, has not developed institutions that can create economic benefits, such as the ‘on-campus canteen’ and the ‘on-campus canteen’.

This means that investing in Hogwarts is a pure loss business for the school directors.

No, to say that business is promoting this investment, which is all about doing charity.

The only things that school managers can gain from this is the social status and positive evaluation that they bring to Hogwarts.

The current twelve school directors are all people who have escaped trial through various means during Voldemort's liquidation period.

And the reason why they will become Hogwarts school board is just that they want to use this aura to whiten the black on them.

But now it has been more than ten years since Voldemort's downfall, and everyone who can wash white is almost done, and the rest of them probably won't wash white no matter how much.

Such as the Malfoy family.

In addition, the money that the school directors need to give to Hogwarts every year is really a huge sum, so McGonagall estimates that if the Foley family wants to take over as the school director, the original school directors will probably jump up happily!

Once the Foley family became the board of directors of Hogwarts, it would be logical to use the power of the board of directors to force Dumbledore to investigate Draco Malfoy.

For a moment, Professor McGonagall had the urge to throw Link out of the window immediately.

In her opinion, this method of using power and money to suppress others is really nasty.

However, Dumbledore didn't think so. He felt that with his understanding of Link, the other party could not do such a low-end thing.

Sure enough, after a short pause, Link said with a smile:

"Ah, Professor Dumbledore, you don't know how enthusiastic those school directors are. They immediately said they would do their best to advance this matter after learning that the Foley family intends to take their place. Even... they still I can’t wait to hand over the bills between Hogwarts and the school board over the years to my mother. From it, I found some very bad behavior."

Speaking of this, Link looked at Dumbledore who was slightly straightened, his eyes flashed blue, and he took out a piece of parchment from his arms and said:

"For example, last year's report showed that Divination professor Sybil Trelawney spent a total of 1,034 gold gallons and 12 silver Sicos throughout the year to purchase Chinese Dahongpao tea and Scotch Fire Whiskey."

"I am very puzzled, Professor Dumbledore, although tea fortune telling does exist in the teaching of divination. But what about fire whiskey? I don't seem to have heard of alcohol fortune telling?"

"Moreover, according to the data, most students think that fortune-telling is an optional course ~www.novelmt.com~ because they can't predict the future like Professor Trelawney said. After graduation, I can’t find any content that can be applied to the knowledge of divination. So I very much doubt whether this course is necessary to continue."

"In addition, there is also the purchase price of daffodil root powder in the Potions class. I don't understand why a piece of Diagon Alley for 2 gold gallons will show the unit price of 20 gold gallons here.

The salary of some professors has not risen for many years, but the annual output budget of the school board for the salary of professors has increased year after year.

and also……"

"enough."

Dumbledore interrupted Link indifferently.

And Link closed his mouth obediently.

"The investigation into whether Draco Malfoy is the heir will officially begin tomorrow."

"I'm sorry to persecute you in this way, but please believe me, Professor Dumbledore, I won't let you down." Link placed the parchment on Dumbledore's desk and said sincerely." In addition, there will not be any cuts in Hogwarts' funding next year. On the contrary, my mother thinks that your behavior of taking in Mr. Filch and other dumb guns is very noble! She will further increase her investment in Hogwarts."

After that, Link greeted Harry and walked towards the office door.

And just as they were about to leave the office, Dumbledore's voice became a little hoarse from behind Link.

"Link, I take back what I said about you like Severus."

Link's footsteps stopped, he turned his head and saw Dumbledore was looking at him with a smile and said:

"You are much better than Severus!"

"Thank you for your compliment!"

Link bowed deeply.
