Drag Sister to Dominate Hogwarts

Page 176



Some school directors began to urge them, and the current situation at Hogwarts made them very worried.

Immediately, Lucius, Avery Jr. and Sheffield Sr. took their positions.

There was no ceremony, and there was no host. The school board meeting just started like this, as if the uncles and aunts in the vegetable market started to quarrel over the price of a few cents.

Only gradually, the voice of the quarrel became quieter.

Because the nine people who supported Dumbledore found that they were all arguing, and the trio of pure-blood families seemed to be watching a joke.

"Lucius, what's your opinion?"

Finally, someone couldn't help but ask Lucius, Lucius smiled slightly and was not polite: "I think the things you are arguing about are completely meaningless, and you didn't even pay attention to the crux of the problem."

"The essential?"

"The key is how to deal with the basilisk, or, how to deal with Hogwarts."

With just a few words, Lucius straightened out the chaotic quarrel.

The previous school board meeting didn't even set an agenda, so quarreling and arguing naturally wouldn't lead to any results.

In the past, Lucius often fell into this kind of chaotic dispute, and he didn't have a good way to fight this kind of dispute.

In the original book, Lucius threatened them with the families of the nine people before they compromised and signed a joint signature to remove Dumbledore.

But in the end, Lucius was kicked out of the school board instead.

Obviously, Lucius in the original book didn't understand a problem: a temporary threat can gain him support, but in the long run, it will make the nine people more united.

In this kind of one-person-one-vote democratic conference, winning more people is the basis of victory, rather than pushing people to the opposite side.

Cassandra dissects it all for Lucius.

So this time, Lucius learned the lesson, and Avery Jr. and Sheffield the Elder chose to follow Lucius.

They said nothing unless necessary.

He is only responsible for setting the agenda and minimizing arguments with these nine people.

Like Cassandra said before.

Lucius and Cassandra do not need to be the enemies of these nine people, it is enough to let them stand on the factually right side.

"Is there anything you can do?"

Some school managers couldn't help asking: "Now the entire British wizarding community knows that Hogwarts is a dangerous place, and in the past Hogwarts should have been the safest place in the British wizarding community."

"There are thousands of children out there, and now there's a basilisk wandering around, and we have to come up with a solution."

Under the guidance of independent thinking, the nine school directors approved the issues given by Lucius and began to think about solutions at the same time.

"terribly sorry."

Lucius shrugged: "I have no solution to the basilisk."

"We don't know much about this terrifying magical creature, and there have been no basilisks in Britain for hundreds of years."

"And the most critical question is not how to kill the basilisk, but how to find the basilisk."

According to Lucius' past personality, he would definitely say something more at this time.

Harry Potter is a Parseltongue, a descendant of Slytherin, and we have to deal with him.

But this time, he held back.

Giving a solution means attracting opposition.

There will never be a perfect solution, as long as someone is willing to criticize, then it will definitely fall into a quarrel again.

So the way to prevent yourself from falling into passiveness is to not propose any solutions.

Of course, this logic of action has a premise.

That is, Cassandra and Lucius had already put pressure on all parties involved before the meeting, so that the meeting must come to a certain conclusion and not end hastily.

The war of opinion in the Daily Prophet, and the involvement of the Ministry of Magic, are all part of this pressure.

Sure enough, the faces of several school directors changed slightly, and they all thought of the boy Harry Potter.

The school director even looked at Cassandra, looking at the little witch who had made a fuss at Hogwarts before.

Although the Hogwarts incident was not published in the Daily Prophet, as school directors, they all had their own information channels, and almost all of them understood Cassandra's accusations against Harry Potter.

"Is that kid really clueless?"

The school director who was an athlete couldn't help but speak first: "It doesn't matter if the Ministry of Magic investigates him. Veritaserum can't kill people?"

"The Ministry of Magic has investigated him, and even everyone. There is no trace of black magic at all!"

Sure enough, the debate started again.

"So you're saying that the basilisk doesn't exist at all? The Ministry of Magic and that poor little Lovegood witch are just acting?"

The two school trustees started a heated argument, and Lucius raised his eyebrows.

It took a lot of effort not to let myself laugh out loud.

So it turned out to be such a simple matter to break the alliance of several people on the opposite side?

Lucius' original idea was to open Cassandra's eyes and let her understand the complexity of the school board.

Unexpectedly, Cassandra's opinion made Lucius' rank start to rise.

"enough."

One of the oldest directors stopped the argument: "Since Dumbledore assured that he is not the murderer, we should believe Dumbledore."

Originally, the elder's words had immediate effect every time, and belonged to Dumbledore's spokesperson.

But this time, the singer-turned-school director subconsciously taunted him: "He's so right, why didn't he kill the basilisk?"

This statement drew glaring looks from the other eight people, and he himself realized that he had said something wrong.

But this time, although his face was ugly, he did not bow his head.

Because this is the result of his independent thinking, and it is for the life and health of Hogwarts students.

"We should give Dumbledore time, he can sort it all out."

The elder trustee once again emphasized his trust in Dumbledore, and this time there was no objection.

Seeing this, Lucius didn't say much, and picked up his cane: "It seems that the meeting can be over, and the answer is to trust Dumbledore?"

Seeing that Lucius was about to leave, the school manager who was an athlete couldn't help but said, "Lucius, are you so irresponsible?"

Lucius looked shocked: "Didn't the school board come to a conclusion, and I don't object, why am I not responsible?"

"Your answer is to believe Dumbledore, and I choose to believe you. Could it be that this conclusion is only verbal, and you don't believe him in your heart?"

Lucius' words made the school directors who supported Dumbledore turn green and then pale.

Of course they were willing to believe Dumbledore.

But with the passage of time, this trust is constantly decreasing.

Up to now, Dumbledore has not come up with a feasible solution, which proves that Dumbledore can't help the basilisk.

The danger is still there, Dumbledore is no longer invincible, and the little wizards may die again at any time.

It's just that Dumbledore's supporters are unwilling to admit these things.

In the past, the pure-blood family jumped out to blame everything, but today their behavior is too strange, as if they support Dumbledore more than these nine people.

"When you kill the next child, I hope you will not regret today's decision."

Little Avery also echoed, the smile on the corner of his mouth was like a sinister poisonous snake.

Today he did not say anything according to Lucius' reminder, but this time the school board meeting turned out to be the most fun for him.

Little Avery's words finally shattered a director's defense.

He was tall and said, "Luna's mother is my student."

"She died in front of Luna when Luna was nine years old."

"Now, Luna is dying too."

He looked around at all the school directors: "You ask yourself, can you accept the ending of the next child's death?"

The school director's questioning resulted in everyone's silence.

Cassandra also looked at him in surprise, not expecting such a relationship.

Seeing that everyone acquiesces, the situation cannot be allowed to continue to develop.

He looked at Lucius and said, "Lucius, don't put on a show."

"You already have a solution, right?"

Lucius thought for a few seconds, and finally smiled.

"My method is actually very simple and rude."

"That is... Hogwarts is closed."

147 3/3 Slytherin's Stage

Lucius' words caused an uproar in the school board.

How dare he shut down Hogwarts?

Although the school board has this power, it does not mean that they can make the decision to close Hogwarts casually.

Once Hogwarts is closed, it means that the school board and professors cannot shoulder this responsibility, and Hogwarts is no longer safe.

At this time, the Ministry of Magic will definitely step in, bring this large organization that is not under their control under their command, and then train batch after batch of people who are loyal to the Ministry of Magic.

The idea of ​​the four colleges inheriting the previous year will also be destroyed, and even the school Hogwarts itself may no longer exist.

Both the school board and the current principal will become sinners who will be remembered for thousands of years.

So unless things really reached the point of no return, Hogwarts absolutely cannot be closed.

Even compared to the closure of Hogwarts, the removal of Dumbledore is not a big deal.

"Lucius, this is absolutely impossible."
