Hogwarts: I inherited my legacy

Chapter 490 The former professor’s advice

Raven told her all her questions.

Dumbledore didn't mind the trouble, so he found a bench, pulled Robert Potter to sit down, and then said,

"Actually, Hogwarts still has its own industry. Except for those used by the hospital wing, all the magical plants in the greenhouse have been sold. Of course, the money has to be divided with Dean Pomona."

Jack asked in horror,

"So the same goes for potions?"

Dumbledore gave him a funny look,

"You are so scared, can you still sell these things?"

This is just like medicine students who dare not take the medicine they make.

Then he shook his head,

"The income from the greenhouse is enough for us to purchase food and even host banquets occasionally, but it is still not enough to support the salary of professors. You know, they need a salary that matches their status."

Raven thought about it and found that it was indeed the case.

Even a purely academic wizard like Professor McGonagall can casually give his students a top-of-the-line broom like the Nimbus 2000.

This shows that professors’ pockets are still very rich.

I have to mention the Potions professors here. Horace Slughorn was even able to use valuable elixirs as prizes for class questions and answers. Hogwarts would not reimburse such money. He paid for it out of his own pocket,

This case further proves the affluence of this group of professors.

If you want to retain such a group of capable people who are popular anywhere in the magic world,

In fact, salary is secondary. Not to mention how generous the salary needs to be. You must not give less, as it will appear to be neglecting others.

In short, professors’ salaries at Hogwarts account for the bulk of expenses.

How did Dumbledore get such a sum of money?

Raven was busy eating and drinking, so she never noticed this. So my curiosity was indeed aroused at this time,

Dumbledore smiled and tapped his fingers in two directions.

"The other part of the income comes from fixed assets. Most of the shops in Hogsmeade are owned by the school, and rents are collected every year. Even if the shops built later are not operating well, the school will give priority to acquiring them. "

This is why the owner of the Pig's Head Bar was changed to Aberforth, and the owner of the Three Broomsticks was changed from the old sister-in-law to Ms. Rosmerta.

There is no relationship between the shop owners, but they run the same shop, because the shop actually belongs to Hogwarts, and the shop owners are considered contractors.

"Of course, there is also the magical animal material in the Forbidden Forest that you are most familiar with. Thanks to a certain Mr. Potter, our supply of Acromantula venom has been somewhat in short supply in recent years."

After saying that, Dumbledore glanced at Raven with disdain,

The supply exceeds demand not only because of the huge demand, but also because someone is greedy and often catches and eats them, resulting in a decrease in the number of Acromantulas.

"Wild forest crabs are gifts from nature. As a great druid, it makes sense for me to eat nature's gifts, right?"

Raven murmured softly,

After saying that, Raven turned to look at Umbridge who was still collapsed on the ground and said,

"You heard it too. You know who is buying the magical animal materials in the Forbidden Forest. What's wrong with eating something that Hogwarts has rounded up for free? Can this be called eating and drinking?"

Facing a guy with [Legilimency] activated, what else could Umbridge do?

She should be happy at this time,

I'm glad that I respect strength and didn't criticize this person deep in my heart just now.

If you want to say that she doesn't hate Raven, that's impossible.

Her transformation from a normal person to her current toad spirit state was all thanks to Raven.

But she didn't dare to express her disgust from the bottom of her heart, and she didn't even have the courage to think about it in her heart.

This is the true face of the magical world. Individual will can rival order.

"My knowledge is shallow," Umbridge said.

Not to mention that it was too embarrassing for her to show such a posture as the Deputy Minister of Magic.

Even Fudge himself was no better in the face of a legendary wizard who was able to defeat two Voldemorts, kill the first Dark Lord in a wheel battle, be the leader of the Druid Order, and a descendant of King Arthur.

Especially this one who is only sixteen years old this year, and is also the maker of the Philosopher's Stone, a close disciple of Nick Flamel.

God knows how many more years a guy like this will dominate the magical world.

If you offend such a person, your children and grandchildren will be affected.

Giving in is a method that may seem a bit embarrassing, but is actually really effective.

This is why when Lucius Malfoy took the initiative to make friends with the Weasley family, it seemed to the outside world that it was a good deal.

The temporary tolerance brought about the strength of the family. In the eyes of future generations, Lucius Malfoy will only be seen as a man with vision and decisive actions.

Instead of feeling that it was a shameful act to give in to the Weasley family at that time.

Seeing that Umbridge is so sensible, Raven also plans to let her go today.

Unexpectedly, Umbridge would give him such great fun just after the beginning of the school year. Raven was looking forward to her performance this school year.

Dumbledore led the two guests to the professor's seat,

As it gets darker, the senior students arrive in Yeqi carriages before this year’s freshmen.

After the routine sorting and singing of the school song,

Dumbledore knocked on the glass in front of him and stood up.

"quiet" [loud voice]

"Welcome everyone to return to Hogwarts, and welcome the new students to start their academic career here for the next seven years, but before that, I want to replace our former Defense Against the Dark Arts professor-Professor Alastor Moody. Please share a word with me."

"[Beware of dark wizards! They may even attack you from inside the trash can!]"

"Ha ha ha ha"

A series of laughter came from the auditorium, which was already reported in the summer edition of the Daily Prophet.

The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor last school year had an overturn during the summer vacation and was controlled by a dark wizard. Fortunately, he was also a Mad-Eye who was famous for his persecution paranoia!

But this did wake up the little wizards,

[What a good negative teaching material. 】

Dumbledore sighed.
