Retirement from Hogwarts

"Hermione, this is an early birthday gift for you. How do you like it?" After returning home, Jack handed Crookshanks to Hermione and said, claiming credit.

"Well, it feels pretty good." Hermione stroked Crookshank's fluffy hair and nodded to Jack. "But it looks so weird, so it must not be very popular in pet stores, right? How did you think of choosing it?"

"This little guy is not as simple as he seems. If I read it correctly, he should have the blood of a cat. This blood makes him much smarter than an ordinary cat, and it can also help You spot people with bad intentions," Jack said, glancing at the TV show Hermione was watching.

"Stop looking. If I'm not mistaken, the retrospective spell used in this BBC program should be the one you used during your holiday, right?" Hermione glanced at the man who disappeared after being carried out of the car by the maids of the villa. Harry in the corridor and the black dog who followed him rolled their eyes angrily at Jack who was smiling like a little fox who had stolen a chicken. "I wonder if Harry will come after you after he wakes up and finds out that you dug up his tragic childhood stories."

"I won't take the blame for this. This show really has nothing to do with me." Jack blinked at Hermione innocently and said aggrievedly.

"Yes, yes, it has nothing to do with you. This is just the business behavior of the retrospective department under your company, right? And if I remember correctly, you are still the major shareholder of the BBC, right? If you are willing, this program should be suppressed Isn't that a problem?" Hermione couldn't help but shook her head after hearing Jack's feeble defense in front of people who knew him well.

"And if there are no masters to lead the way, I don't think the paparazzi, whose magic level is not necessarily comparable to Harry's, can break through the Dursley family's magic defense network that is protected by Dumbledore. Although I don't know Why are you having trouble with Dumbledore? However, he is also a long-established great mage. Your little tricks can't defeat him. Be careful, you will lose the rice." Hermione said and couldn't help but look worried. To Jack.

"Taking down Dumbledore? How is it possible? This is not a good idea. I wish he could be the principal of Hogwarts forever." After hearing Hermione's words, Jack immediately shook his head and denied it, and knocked down Dumbledore. But it was never their idea. When Voldemort comes back to life in the future, Dumbledore will be the best living target in the wizarding world.As long as he doesn't die, Voldemort and the Slytherin Priory behind him will never get their hands into Hogwarts. "It's just that some of his ideas at Hogwarts are unacceptable to us. We only do this to change the current situation at Hogwarts."

"Then tell me what you think?" Hermione couldn't help but become interested after hearing Jack's words.

"Don't you think Dumbledore is too partial to Gryffindor every year? Moreover, he encourages Gryffindor and Slytherin to confront each other all day long, making Hogwarts a giant gladiator. Gryffindor and Slytherin are fighting to the death in every competitive place. Hufflepuff doesn't know why, and Ravenclaw is watching from the other side. This is not what a school should be like." Jack shook his head in displeasure. said. "And he kills black magic indiscriminately. I have to say that he really has no talent for teaching."

"I'm afraid you can't convince those old men in the mutual aid association with these two points alone, right? How on earth did you convince them to agree to your plan to bring down Dumbledore?" Although Hermione is usually a little transparent in the Ravenclaw mutual aid association. , even her voting rights were represented by Jack, but she still understood some of the situations inside.At least she knew that someone in the mutual aid group was Dumbledore's biggest fan.

"I was just checking the Hogwarts bill," Jack said with a shrug. "Hogwarts is such a big magic death star. Before Dumbledore came to power, the annual income provided to the Mutual Aid Association could account for more than 20% of the annual income of various industries of the Mutual Aid Association, and it provided most of the legendary wizards who were addicted to experiments. department

divided experimental materials.But since Dumbledore came to power. . .Not only is the income gone, but the supply of materials is also out.So, you understand. "

"Then why don't they just use this result to trouble Dumbledore?" Hermione's eyes widened after hearing his words. "Isn't this a serious breach of duty?"

"It's not that they don't want to, but it would be bad if this really takes Dumbledore out of office." Jack shrugged helplessly. "If Dumbledore, the older leader of Gryffindor, leaves, who will be the headmaster? If you choose a smaller one, you can't stop Voldemort and the Slytherin Priory from gaining power. If you let them do it on their own, Not many old guys are willing to top the tank themselves for such a thankless task."

"Slytherin Priory? What organization is that? The Slytherin version of the Mutual Aid Society?" Hermione found that she seemed to have missed a lot of useful information by never attending meetings within the mutual aid group.

"Absolutely. But their ideas are more radical, and their method of recruiting members is more conservative. They are passed down from generation to generation. Those who can join them are basically people who have made great contributions to their cause." Jack clicked He nodded and said.

"Their ideas are similar to those of Zheng Tian Wen, who advocate the idea of ​​​​big humanity. Although they are not like those lunatics of Zhen Tian Wen who believe that extraterrestrial races are not intelligent creatures and have no human rights, they still advocate external expansion. They believe that since wizards are everywhere in the entire galaxy, Establish outposts within the area to prevent and eliminate demonic disasters, then the entire galaxy should be the territory of wizards. Basically, they have their shadow in each of the five expansion wars."

"But that's not right. When we saw Voldemort's soul fragment last semester, wasn't there an alien mutated soul-sucking monster hidden in it? How could those big humanists in the Slytherin Priory introduce such a person to be the leader? Human?" Hermione couldn't help but frowned after hearing his words.

"Because it is convenient to start a war. What hatred can be greater than having your leader controlled by the enemy." Jack shrugged. "But the old men in the mutual aid association didn't want to start a war, so they found an opportunity to kill Voldemort."

"Does that mean they are our enemies?" Hermione asked worriedly after hearing Jack's words.

"Enemies? Not really, they just have different ideas." Jack opened his hands indifferently after hearing Hermione's question. "Anyway, from what I learned from the brief internal history of the Mutual Aid Association, when the Mutual Aid Association thinks it needs expansion, we support the Priory, when stability is needed, we support the Hufflepuff farmers, and when we need to suppress the Priory, When the time comes, I will find a leader in Gryffindor, and that’s probably it.”

"When you say that, the mutual aid association seems to be like a big BOSS hidden behind the scenes. Have you said that about your boss, and you are not afraid that the boss will fire you?" Hermione couldn't help but frowned after hearing Jack's explanation. , said angrily.

"That's the truth. We are all our own people anyway, so there is nothing to hide." Jack winked at Hermione. "You won't betray me anyway, right?"

"Well, it all depends on someone's performance." Hermione said as she made up her mind to study the 'genuine' histories in the mutual aid association's library. "But since the trouble is so big, how can those old men support you in dealing with Dumbledore?"

"Because as long as this accounting problem is not discovered by our board of directors ourselves, there will be no problem." Jack winked as he said it. "Anyway, no matter what others say, we just need to be good people and support Dumbledore when he says that there is nothing wrong with Hogwarts' accounts. If you don't believe it, you can come and check. As long as the chairman of the Ravenclaw Mutual Aid Association says that there is nothing wrong with the accounts, then Who can say that there is something wrong with Hogwarts' accounts? It's just a matter of setting up a department in Hogwarts to review annual expenditures at the request of some people. In this way, we can take this opportunity to recover part of Dumbledore's expenses. With the power in Lido's hands, he can also sell favors to Dumbledore, killing two birds with one stone, right?"
