Hogwarts Staff Maker
Chapter 18: Return to the Principal's Office
After returning to the castle, Liu Sen first sent Neville, who couldn't find the way, back to the corridor on the eighth floor leading to the Gryffindor lounge, and then turned and went to the headmaster's office!
"Lemon tea? Mint candy? Pile of cockroaches?" Liu Sen muttered the names of no less than 50 kinds of snacks and desserts to the ugly guardian beast, but he didn't get any of them right!
Just as he was about to continue racking his brains to think of the command, a voice appeared behind him.
"Are you looking for me, kid?"
Liu Sen turned around and saw that the person coming was the most outstanding headmaster in the history of Hogwarts - Albus Dumbledore!
"What a coincidence, Professor Dumbledore! I was looking for you! But when I got here I remembered that I didn't know the password at all. The password changed that day!" Liu Sen said in a relaxed tone.
Dumbledore smiled and whispered, "Sizzle honey candy!"
The ugly gatekeeper beast responded, jumped to the side, and revealed a spiral staircase behind it.
"Please come in, Mr. Liu Sen," Dumbledore said enthusiastically.
"Please go first!" Liu Sen replied obediently.
Dumbledore didn't insist and walked in first.
Liu Sen followed closely behind, but when the other person turned his back to him, he took out the prepared concentration talisman from his pocket, gently patted it on the back of his neck, and covered it with his collar.
After getting ready, he followed Dumbledore with confidence and took the spiral staircase into the headmaster's office.
Dumbledore was like an old grandfather next door. He kindly poured a cup of hot cocoa for Liu Sen and handed him a plate of small desserts - of course, he did all this by waving his hands and using magic.
If Liu Sen hadn't known that Lao Deng was very good at scheming people, he might have expressed his gratitude with tears.
"Then, Mr. Liu Sen, you came to me not to care for the elderly and widowed people, right?" the principal joked.
"You're joking! Actually, I have something to discuss with you!" Liu Sen took a sip of hot cocoa and found it quite delicious.
He continued, "Professor, I'm sure you already know about Hagrid's hut. I didn't damage it on purpose, but I have the materials and supplies ready for reconstruction at home. But there are a few minor issues."
Dumbledore opened his favorite pile of cockroaches and chewed one, nodding as he signaled Liu Sen to continue.
"First of all, his cabin had some structural defects when it was built, so there is no need to renovate it. I plan to tear it down and rebuild it! Here are my design drawings, please take a look!"
Liu Sen took out the drawings sent from home from his pocket and handed them to Dumbledore.
The old principal stroked his half-moon glasses and took the drawing.
"You! Are you sure you didn't take the wrong drawing?" the principal said in disbelief.
"Since we are rebuilding, we must strive for perfection! I think this design barely fits the noble and elegant temperament of our Hogwarts! After all, the ranger's hut is also part of the school!" Liu Sen explained.
Although the principal had seen a lot of storms, he still took off his glasses, put the drawings on the table, tapped them a few times and fell into deep thought.
"Please rest assured, I will take care of all the materials and expenses required! Neither Hagrid himself nor the school will have to spend a penny!" Liu Sen added.
"But kid, what you destroyed is just a small stone house! But isn't the new one you are going to build too... too expensive?" The old principal thought about it. Even though he had no concept of money, he still wanted to confirm whether he was right.
"No, no, no! This is what I should do! It happens that my family has just established a new construction company. It is my honor to do something insignificant for my alma mater!" Liu Senfaner said.
While the principal was lost in thought, Liu Sen continued, "So, I came here today to ask you for instructions. If you can issue a permit to start construction, then we can start construction as soon as this weekend!"
Dumbledore crossed his hands and looked at the blueprint intently, his two slender thumbs overlapping and circling each other. After thinking for a while, he looked up and said, "I'm afraid I have to get the approval of the school board. This is a new building after all! I don't know what to say about these old antiques."
Liu Sen said confidently: "I wonder how many gold galleons it will take to join the school board? We are willing to pay the membership fee!"
Dumbledore was a little shocked, but he had to say: "I'm afraid that joining the school board is not something that can be solved with gold galleons. It also requires sufficient status. I'm sorry... But I will discuss the building matters with them. I believe the school board will give an old man like me a little face!"
Liu Sen certainly understood that the school board was composed of well-known figures in the magic world, and at least you had to be from an ancient pure-blood family! But he was just expressing his attitude, and there was no rush.
"There is one more thing I need your help with! Um... Hogwarts is in a special location after all. It would be very troublesome to transport supplies using conventional means! So I was wondering if I could apply to use the Hogwarts Express!"
The principal sat up straighter. "Wow! I must say, you've got quite a few surprises for me! Mr. Liu Sen! This is no small matter!"
"But it shouldn't be difficult for you! As the greatest wizard of our time, the best wizard in Hogwarts..." Liu Sen wanted to repeat a few more of Dumbledore's well-known titles, but was interrupted by the other party.
"Okay, okay! I see! This is really... an idea I've never thought of before! I can write a letter to Minister of Magic Fudge to apply, but I'm not sure if it will work."
"You are too modest! Everyone knows that Minister Fudge will consult you whenever he has a question! Your little request will definitely be responded to!" Liu Sen said happily after getting the answer he wanted.
At the same time, I thought to myself, Fudge listens to you now, but he will be different in two years when he grows stronger! He will turn a blind eye to Voldemort's return in the future, and will send Umbridge, that toad, to be the headmaster, making the school a mess! Fudge keeps making stupid moves, he is just a two-faced ostrich!
Dumbledore paused, blinked, and said, "Is there anything else I can do for you, old man?"
Liu Sen rubbed his hands and discussed, "Although the construction company has magicians operating, rebuilding the ranger's hut also has some commemorative significance. Can we? ... Let a teacher who is free lend a hand when the time comes? Hehehe... It won't waste anyone's time! The new technology will be super fast!"
The principal agreed readily this time: "Sure, I'll tell the teachers. After all, we helped build the hut back then, so they probably won't refuse a hand."
Liu Sen suddenly had a bright smile on his face. It was worth it to go to the principal this time! All the problems were solved, and he got some for free... No, he got some top-notch labor for free!
Strike while the iron is hot, Liu Sen handed over his wand and said in a calm tone: "Also, the seal of my wand..."
"No."
"That's great! Huh?! No?" Liu Sen didn't react and thought the principal also agreed, but he was happy for nothing.
Liu Sen did not give up and reorganized his words: "You know, if the little wizard only relies on the short time in class to practice magic, it will be difficult for him to master the content of the class!"
"But, from what I understand, you learn quickly and are very active," Dumbledore said as he fiddled with Liu Sen's wand.
"Um...but, without a wand...life would be very inconvenient! Right? How can a wizard be without a wand?" Liu Sen.
"But you know Chinese magic. Basic problems can be solved with magic."
"But I..." Liu Sen lowered his head in thought. He couldn't come up with a reason to fool the other party, but when he thought of the residual soul of Voldemort behind Professor Quirrell's head, and that he was now so close to the three little ones, he would inevitably face danger in the future. Liu Sen felt overwhelmed.
"Professor, can you open up some daily magic? Like illumination?" Liu Sen looked at Dumbledore expectantly, thinking that without this rolling pin, he would be very weak in front of the boss! What trolls, Quirrell, Voldemort... This year has not started well!
Dumbledore thought for a moment, took out his own wand and tapped the rolling pin a few times, and the seal chain inside suddenly emerged. He smiled and looked at it for a moment, as if he was appreciating a work of art.
Under Liu Sen's puzzled gaze, Dumbledore whispered a few magic runes, and without him clicking a few times, a few silver magic coins emerged from thin air and disappeared into the golden rune chains.
"Okay, if you encounter special situations, you can use the illumination spell." Dumbledore smiled and returned the wand to Liu Sen.
Liu Sen couldn't believe his ears! They actually agreed! I can use the lighting spell!
"but."
Before Liu Sen could cheer, Dumbledore's voice spoke slowly.
"There is a limit on the number. You can only use it 10 times. Otherwise, Minerva and the others will notice!" After saying that, the principal blinked at Liu Sen like a child.
