In the headmaster's office of Hogwarts, white brains floated in a huge glass tank filled with dark green liquid on the slender table. Alan, who had mastered this technology, kept them here to prevent the students who were smart enough to answer the riddle of the headmaster's office from touching anything when they came in, especially now that Littlehands was sent home to take care of his two children.
All the vice-principals and deans were gathered in front of the spacious principal's desk, enjoying afternoon tea with their principal.
Penello was leaning against the cabinet behind Allen with his arms crossed, acting as Aura's bodyguard.
Hermione was sitting obediently beside Allen with a quill in her hand, ready to take notes. Even though she was there as a Gryffindor, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous in front of so many professors, especially since she was supposed to be giving a lecture downstairs.
On the principal's chair that originally belonged to Allen, Luna was taking a nap with Wednesday and Thursday in her arms. This was actually Allen's way of officially introducing his daughter and son to the deans. Otherwise, it would be rude of the professors to take sick leave to deceive him.
Especially since Luna's pregnancy was no longer a secret.
Most of the deans expressed their understanding. Professor Fleevy was very happy that his favorite student had a child. Professor Sprout also gave his blessings for the birth of the new life. Dean Slytherin, who knew the inside story and the true identity of the new life, acted as if it had nothing to do with him. Only Professor Mag felt that this was not something a student should do, so he couldn't help but complain for a long time. He even warned Hermione a few times, which was why Hermione was a little nervous.
At this time, someone knocked on the door of the principal's office, and Grindelwald walked in quickly. The halo of the sun shone into the principal's office, giving his pale hair a layer of hazy golden halo.
"I'm sorry, everyone. I was just receiving the officials from the Greek Ministry of Magic. They came to inspect the University of Hogwarts, so I was a little delayed …" Grindelwald bowed politely before sitting down. After receiving the other deans' forgiveness, he looked at Allen with a hint of complaint. "Allen, your question today was a little unfriendly … What can change a person's nature be considered a question? Pain? Regret? Strength? Greed? Age? I even said love and death, but it still didn't let me in … "
"Oh? Did Loynar record this riddle? I'm sorry … "Allen looked at Grindelwald apologetically." But I have to praise you for your smart way of giving up the riddle and asking a passing student to open a new one … "Then, he noticed that Pomona Sprout, who was still puzzled by the riddle, had her eyes lit up when she heard this method. Allen, who was biting his tongue to prevent himself from laughing out loud because of Grindelwald's stubbornness, coughed twice and explained," This question came from the book 'Requiem in a Strange World' on the bookshelf behind me. It said that it was a question that looked like a fat old woman with a hooked nose, but it was actually a powerful night witch who solved the mystery. She's the Gray Sister, and she's known for killing anyone who couldn't answer the question she wanted to know. "
"Doesn't sound like a good person? But what's the answer? "Professor Fleevy was interested." Is it knowledge? "
"In fact, as long as it's an answer that you're really sure of, it's a simple answer." Luna, who was sitting behind the principal's desk, said in a daze as if she had just woken up. "But because of all kinds of worries, the answers are always looking for ways to pry into the heart of the questioner to find out its thoughts. They've never told the truth."
This made Grindelwald a little embarrassed. This was his habit. Unlike the first The Dark Lord who knew Luna's identity, the other professors were a little dissatisfied with Luna's sudden interruption and sarcasm.
"Actually, I don't have the confidence to answer this question. But since everyone is here, let's talk about the main topic." Allen stretched out his hand and changed the topic. "Actually, I've called everyone here today because there's something that I need everyone to inform the students in your respective schools, including the universities … On the day of the duel, the Hogwarts Headquarters, the primary schools, and the universities will not be allowed to have a holiday, and no students will be allowed to have a holiday. Here, please take good care of your students. No one is allowed to leave the floating city on the day of the duel. "
The sudden announcement made the presidents look at each other. They didn't understand why Allen suddenly made such a decision.
"Principal Harris, because we've promised to allow the students to watch the duel, many parents have already bought tickets …" Professor Mag was the first to speak as usual. There was a hint of embarrassment in her serious voice. "Actually, the higher-ups have been talking about the duel for a long time. I'm afraid it will cause a lot of dissatisfaction if we suddenly cancel their right to watch the duel."
"Professor Mag, please inform those parents that all the tickets can be refunded at the umbrella. The parents don't have to bear the loss of this money …" Hermione looked up and said to Mag. She, who had just been warned, was a little nervous facing the principal. "Yes."
Alan's body left the headmaster's table where he was sitting. His fingers were still tapping on the table. "However, this seems to remind me … We'll have to work hard here. We need to organize some activities for the students and parents on the Floating City on the day of the duel. Whether it's a parent-teacher meeting or an open house, no matter what, we have to keep the students and parents on the Floating City."
"Did something happen? Did we talk about that before? " Fleevy's sharp voice came from Allen's left.
"Yes. Miss Cleavage's men have confirmed some information." Allen clenched his hands into fists, and solemnly said, "In this duel, the contestants from some countries will try to assassinate me during the competition. In fact, the rules of the duel have been changed to meet their needs. Therefore, I'm worried that there will be chaos, and these innocent students will be hurt."
"How dare they do that! How dare they! " Professor Mag was shocked. Anger was written all over her face. "A group of people trying to assassinate you? How despicable! "
"How did this happen? Judging from the recent international situation, the situation where the United Kingdom was treated as an enemy because it helped other countries to build floating cities has become much better … "Professor Sprout looked at Allen worriedly.
"Allen, for your own safety, since you already know about their scheme, you might as well not participate in it." Professor Fleevy's fingers clenched tightly. "You don't need this kind of glory anymore. I shouldn't have invited you to participate …"
"Thank you for your kindness, everyone. I'm not afraid of them. I'm more worried about the wizards and their parents in our school. We have a strong organization to protect them." Allen stood up and solemnly entrusted the professors. "Therefore, we must make sure that no students will come to the scene. I don't know the scale, so I can't guarantee that everyone will not be hurt."
"I can understand Allen's choice. Since we already know about their scheme, we should be prepared. All the more reason to go and take them down a notch." Grindvall raised his slightly chubby chin. "However, we can't be careless. Prepare more helpers so that we can reinforce them at any time … I'll go with Abusi when the time comes."
"I'll go with you when the time comes." Luna naturally gave an answer that reassured Grindvall but made the other presidents even more worried.
