Retirement from Hogwarts

Jack made a helpless expression towards Neville who took Harry from his back with a grimace on his face.Neville, who was left behind, watched miserably as Professor McGonagall led Jack and Hermione away from the chatting crowd in front of the castle door. The two of them accompanied her through the front hall, up the marble stairs, and finally disappeared into the castle. In the side corridor.

They walked into her office, which was a small room with a welcoming magic fire burning in the fireplace. Professor McGonagall immediately motioned for Harry and Hermione to sit down, and she herself sat behind the desk.Not long after, the office door was pushed open from the outside again.Dumbledore and another young wizard in white robes walked in.

"I have read the report sent by Professor Lupin, and I have to say that you did a good job on the train. But unfortunately, you can't get extra points because school hasn't started yet." Dumbledore said with his dark blue He said after taking a deep look at Jack with his colored eyes behind his half-moon lenses.

"Of course, the school will not fail to express your contribution to the perfect solution to this crisis. I think it is indispensable for each of the four of you to receive a third-class medal of the Order of Merlin." Another person who followed Dumbledore came in. The wizard winked at them playfully.Then he turned his head to Jack. "Of course, because of your outstanding performance, Mr. Sparrow, yours should be level two."

"Then we'll be disrespectful." Jack shook Hermione's hand, who was about to say something, and nodded knowingly to the wizard. Then he said in a confused way: "I have to say that the Ministry of Magic forced the dispatch this time. The Dementors' behavior of coming to Hogwarts to garrison is simply stupid. If it hadn't been for them, that damn Necromancer wouldn't have had the chance to sneak in pretending to be a Dementor."

"Indeed, Fudge stretched his hand too far this time." The man's eyes couldn't help but brighten after hearing Jack's words, and then he agreed.Although the true cause of the matter has not yet been clarified, Fudge, who caused everyone in Hogwarts to be extremely dissatisfied with him because of the dispatch of the dementors, is obviously an excellent candidate to blame him.

"Of course, with your contribution, Mr. Jack, it is not impossible for us to strive for a first-class medal." The man was obviously very interested in Jack, who had taken away all the management of Hogwarts and then conveniently tricked him into interfering with Hogwarts. He was very satisfied with his plan to kill two birds with one stone, and immediately raised Jack's Order of Merlin to one level.

"Of course, I will perform well in front of the public." Jack said while sharing a tacit smile with the other person.

"Now that you've finished talking, Jack, please go outside and wait for a while." Dumbledore said, looking at the two people who had finished talking. "Miss Granger and I are going to have a word about her schedule and then we can go to dinner together."

"Timetable?" Jack couldn't help but look at Hermione with wide eyes after hearing Dumbledore's words. He clearly explained the pros and cons of the time turner to Hermione, and she also promised that he would not choose a time to repeat it. The course started, but why did you change your mind at the end?

"Let me introduce you formally. I am Carl Antonidas, the head of the External Liaison Department of Hogwarts." After hugging the confused Jack and leaving Professor McGonagall's office, the white-robed wizard released After setting up a soundproof barrier, I introduced it to him.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Carl. Who is Mr. Navi Antonidas in the Clock Tower?" Jack, who had been thinking about how to break the inertia of the damn plot, finally came to his senses after hearing his words.

"It's my father." Carl said to Jack after hearing Jack's question.

Ke quietly gestured.

"That's it." Jack nodded to him, feeling the subtle magic fluctuations caused by his gesture.Since the other party's father is the spokesperson for his group's investment, he is one of his own. "Can I help you with anything?"

"My father asked me to give this to you." He glanced at the surrounding corridor warily, and after confirming that no one was there, he handed an envelope into Jack's hand.

Just when Jack was about to say something, the door to Professor McGonagall's office in the corridor was opened.The two hurriedly removed the soundproof barrier in the corridor and resumed their daily routine.

When the two returned to the Ravenclaw table, they just caught up with the end of the Sorting Ceremony.Professor Flitwick was sorting the last few students into houses.

Jack looked around twice to make sure no one was paying attention to them, then lowered his voice and asked Hermione: "Why did you sign up for the conflicting course again?"

"Originally, there weren't any, but for some reason, several courses had several practical classes each week." Hermione said aggrievedly after hearing Jack's question.

"So your full class schedule exploded?" After hearing Hermione's words, Jack couldn't help but feel helpless and despised a certain existence called World Correction in his heart.

"Brynhildr Sparrow." Just when Jack was holding Hermione's crystal version and struggling with how to arrange Hermione's classes more reasonably so that she could have a better rest, Professor Flitwick called The name of Brünnhilde came last.

"We're here at Brünnhilde. I really hope she can be assigned to the same house as us." Hermione looked at Brünn as he walked to the high stool at the front of the four tables with small steps. Hilde said expectantly.She got used to sleeping with this little cute thing during the holidays, and now she really can't live without her.

"Ravenclaw!" The Sorting Hat finally called out Brynhildr's house after hesitating for a long time.Suddenly, cheers from Ravenclaw House and dissatisfied boos from other houses filled the entire auditorium.Brünnhilde's entire little cuteness has successfully used her profound personality to show off her cuteness today.Apparently students from other houses were very dissatisfied with the Sorting Hat's move to assign Brünnhilde, who had conquered the entire school with her cuteness on the train, to Ravenclaw.

While students from other houses continued to boo and create trouble in the auditorium, Dumbledore stood up and spoke. "Welcome to Hogwarts in the new school year! I have a few words to say to all of you, and one of them is very serious. I thought I'd better get this out of the way before you get carried away by this delicious meal. Make things clear."

Looking at the crowd below who were still buzzing about Brynhildr, Dumbledore cleared his throat vigorously.After everyone fell silent, he continued: "Just this afternoon, the Hogwarts Express was attacked by the Necromancer. The dementors flying in the sky and their ability to absorb the happiness of others must be You have all seen it. Although they once attacked us, the results of the investigation showed that it was all the work of dark wizards lurking among the dementors sent by the Ministry of Magic to garrison Hogwarts. Therefore, we The school will still have to receive a number of dementors from Azkaban in the future, allowing them to come here to perform official duties of the Ministry of Magic."

Dumbledore's words seemed to drop a huge bomb in the quiet auditorium.The students who had just calmed down erupted into a huge protest and discussion the moment he finished speaking, almost resounding throughout the entire Hogwarts campus.
