Initially, the venue had become a little noisy after learning that the mysterious man had become the Dark Lord more or less had something to do with Dumbledore. However, after Dumbledore's response, it became silent again. The onlooking wizards could not believe their ears. They stood there like wooden blocks, staring at Dumbledore in the middle of the venue. They thought that Professor Harris would be driven away, but now, they heard that Dumbledore was going to take the blame and resign after a year.
After a short silence, there was an uproar. The onlooking wizards looked around and whispered to each other. They could not help but express their shock and disbelief with various actions and tones.
"Abusi, although I think you should take some responsibility for that person becoming the Dark Lord after listening to Professor Harris' analysis, this is more of his own choice. You don't have to resign. I hope you can seriously consider this matter again. The magic world and Hogwarts still need you." Amelia Burns shook her wide chin to show her disapproval of Dumbledore's choice. Then, she turned to look at Allen. "Professor Harris, you're very good at analyzing other people's behavior. Some of your views on our world's education are indeed impressive. However, as I've always emphasized, I don't think this is a good reason for you to teach so many dangerous spells to underage wizards in class. I'm sorry and sorry, but I agree with Dumbledore's opinion …" The broad witch raised her hand first. "The Burns family, as a board member of the Hogwarts School of Magic and Wizardry, thinks that it's time for Mr. Allen Harris to leave the Hogwarts."
Following her statement, the other school board members began to raise their hands.
"Mr. Gringlass thinks that Mr. Allen Harris should be fired!"
"The Bostel family thinks that Mr. Allen Harris should be fired!" Ben Bostel whispered to Gringlass. "Dumbledore's move is really beautiful. So what if he had the upper hand just now? However, Mileva Mag doesn't seem easy to control. "
"The voting has already begun. The result is already decided. Harris's words just now are useless." Paul Greengrass sneered and looked at the fat man beside him. "Don't be too greedy. Don't forget what we have been doing for a long time. The choice of the principal and the Ministry of Magic doesn't mean anything as long as they don't cross the line … Dumbledore hasn't mentioned anything about Harris's position as the director of the school. Remember to mention it after he removes Harris from his position. I'm afraid that Dumbledore won't admit it and let Harris keep his position to appease him …"
Ben Bostel became alert after being reminded. He nodded his chubby head and said, "Yes! We promised Lucius … "
Some of the younger witches were upset at the sight of this one-sided situation that was disadvantageous to Allen. They couldn't help but sob. Some of the more emotional male adepts also quietly wiped away the tears at the corners of their eyes. Even the pureblood adepts who had intended to follow the clan's decision no longer spoke sarcastically.
"It's all because of me. If I didn't withdraw from the class and wore the special magic robe made for the ancient magic class, that skeleton wouldn't have been able to hurt me." Susan Burns couldn't suppress the guilt in her heart. Her eyes were wet. She suddenly turned around and buried her face in her hands. She leaned her head on Hannah Abbott's shoulder and sobbed.
Pansy Parkinson worriedly stretched out her arm to hug Emily, only to discover that Emily only smiled at her without any abnormality. Later on, when the other Slythrin gathered around Emily and softly comforted her, they discovered that she had lowered her head and was cowering.
Allen, who was in the center of the storm, raised his head with his hands behind his back. His indifferent gaze met with Luna. The blonde girl nodded at him.
"The Foley family believes that the ancient magic class in Hogwarts Magic Academy should be banned."
"Selwyn agrees that Mr. Allen Harris and his class should never appear in Hogwarts again."
"I object!" Sirius, who had been lazily standing in the middle of the board of directors, suddenly said. He raised his hand under the gaze of the board of directors and Hogwarts teachers and students. "The Blake family believes that Professor Allen Harris should continue to teach ancient magic in Hogwarts!"
Gasps and cries of surprise rang out, and this unexpected change stunned the audience. Even Allen's originally indifferent face was stunned, and he looked up at Sirius with some surprise.
"Are you crazy?!" Ben Bastard, who was standing beside Greengrass, shouted. Bostel glared at him and shouted angrily, "Aren't you Dumbledore's man? Are you betraying the pure-bloods? "
Amelia Burns suppressed her anger. She looked at Sirius as if she was worried about his sanity, but she was disappointed to find that he really meant it. "Mr. Blake, I suggest you reconsider. Think about poor Susan. Your godson Harry Potter is also learning dangerous ancient magic … You are also a senior member of the Order of the Phoenix. You can't oppose Dumbledore at this time."
Harry stared at his godfather. He saw that Sirius was among the board of directors, and he had just expressed his support for Allen, which went against his wishes. However, now that Sirius also expressed his support for Allen in public, Harry was a little stunned. His and Ron's mouths were wide open, and they immediately looked at Dumbledore in shock. From what the little lion knew, Sirius was very dissatisfied with Allen because of the matter of the house elf.
"Dear board of directors." Lucius Malfoy's cold voice sounded. "Mr. Blake has expressed his wishes. This is his right. However, as long as the other board of directors have more than half of the shares of the Hogwarts, Principal Dumbledore's proposal will be passed. I think we should continue with the voting …"
Paul Greengrass immediately agreed. "Mr. Blake, even if the Blake family is the oldest and noblest member of the twenty-eight Holy Clans and has a high proportion of the school board's shares, the other board members present obviously can complete this voting without you. Besides, I'm very sorry that you betrayed your distant relatives to support an outsider family."
"Ha, Mr. Blake, you are still as reckless as ever? Did you hear that? Your objection is of no use at all. " He squinted his eyes and glanced at Sirius mockingly. He then added, "However, everyone, this is a betrayal to us. We can't tolerate it. We need to continue discussing whether the Blake family and Family Harris have the ability and qualifications to continue to stay on the Hogwarts board of directors!"
In the face of Paul Greengrass's indifference and Ben Bostel's mockery, Sirius glanced at them disdainfully. However, he did not argue with them. Under everyone's gaze, Sirius used his tall figure to squeeze through the two school board members in front of him and walked to the middle of the room. His dark gray eyes calmly looked back at Dumbledore.
"Oh … Sirius, I thought we had already decided on this." Dumbledore's tone sounded very surprised, but his expression made him look very serious. He paused for a moment to adjust his emotions. His blue eyes looked sharply at Sirius. "What made you decide to support Professor Harris?"
"Dumbledore, I'm really sorry. What I did must have put you in a difficult position again." When Sirius said Dumbledore's name, his voice sounded a little low. "However, please believe in my loyalty to the Order of the Phoenix. No matter what, I will always be a member of the Order of the Phoenix. As long as we can fight against the Unknowns, I am willing to do anything, even if it means risking my life, risking my life, and fighting to the death to destroy the Unknowns …" Sirius waved his fist and pounded his chest. His voice was soft but firm. "However, other than that, please allow me to have my own opinions and positions on how to deal with other matters. That day at the headquarters, Lupin, Arthur, and I all expressed our opposition, but you didn't take it seriously …"
"You bravely expressed your will … It's a pity that I neglected them. I neglected the fact that the Order of the Phoenix is an organization that I founded to fight against the Lord Voldemort. This is my fault. I tried to make you do something else …" Dumbledore nodded tiredly and regretfully. He looked at Allen cautiously and turned back. "It seems that you and Professor Harris have other plans? But please rest assured that I will continue to trust you unconditionally regarding the Order of the Phoenix … "
"Dumbledore, don't encourage your people to go against you!" Paul Greengrass was much more alert than Bostel. He realized that no matter how reckless Bostel was, he would not do something so useless. "Let us continue with the voting."
"Mr. Foley, seventy years ago, it was the Blake Family who invested in your family to save your family from its decline due to the failure of the high-risk investment. Now is the time to repay this favor." Sirius said loudly. "Mr. McMillan, your father was cursed to think that he was a biting cabbage. It was the Blake Family who used our connections to invite an Arab expert to help him remove the curse. Now is the time to repay the favor of the Blake Family. As the head of the Blake Family, I want you to stand on the same side as me and allow Professor Allen Harris to continue teaching his ancient magic classes at the Hogwarts School of Magic."
