"Please remember your identity, Lucius, you are the director of the Hogwarts school board, and you are responsible for thousands of students and the entire Hogwarts!"
"And now you're leaving that responsibility behind to run your own company? Ah, yes, it's called Abstergo? Help that clown Lockhart sell his autobiography?"
Several school managers who hated pure-blood wizards laughed together, venting a little bit of depression in their hearts.
If it was Lucius in normal times, he might have started angrily defending the dignity of the pure-blood family by this time.
But today, he looked at these people as if he was looking at a clown.
Because all the developments are roughly the same as his deduction with his daughter.
He is no longer a chess player at the same level as these people.
"I'm different from you. The school director is just a part of my identity. I'm the head of the Malfoy family, and I still have a lot to do."
"I'd be happy to be a school trustee and donate money to Hogwarts; if you really think I'm delaying things, how about I quit the school council now?"
After finishing speaking, Lucius actually took off the brooch representing the members of the school board with the logos of the four colleges.
This performance completely stunned the rest of the school directors.
It was completely unexpected that Lucius would be so decisive.
The school manager who hated Lucius also turned ugly.
At this time, the school board will split again, then Hogwarts will really mess up in the future.
"Lucius, calm down, no one is going to drive you away."
The old school manager also had to persuade Lucius, then glanced to one side: "You still haven't apologized to Lucius?"
"no need."
Before the hesitant school manager could speak, Lucius got up.
"Actually, I originally planned to quit the school board after the Hogwarts basilisk incident ended."
"I will concentrate on dealing with the affairs of Abstergo Corporation, and I really don't have the heart to be the director of Hogwarts anymore."
"Maybe you can just find someone to replace me?"
Seeing that no one spoke, Lucius said casually: "For example, my daughter is good. In fact, she has a plan to deal with the basilisk."
These words sounded extremely absurd, and several school managers subconsciously wanted to object.
But little Avery got ahead: "Lucius, did you get hit on the head by a troll when you went out?"
"You want to say that a little witch can solve the problem of the basilisk, but we can't?"
"that is the truth."
Lucius gave little Avery an appreciative look.
In the past, little Avery was a foul-mouthed pure-blood wizard in his mind, but he didn't expect him to have the ability to see through stitches!
Little Avery doesn't know Legilimency, otherwise he will definitely tell Lucius: Who is not a Slytherin?
"That's why I brought her here, and if you don't want to hear it, my daughter and I are getting out of here now."
"Wait a moment."
The old school manager quickly said, "Don't mention such absurd things as letting your daughter be the school manager, but we still want to hear about your daughter's plan."
The old school director has become a dead horse as a living horse doctor.
The pressure from the Ministry of Magic and the Daily Prophet had made him burnt out, and this matter could not be dragged on any longer.
Lucius' face suddenly became a little strange.
"Gentlemen, you seem to have made a mistake."
"My daughter and I have no reason to help you unconditionally. I am no longer a school trustee."
The tall school manager couldn't help saying: "This is about the lives of countless people. Your daughter is also studying at Hogwarts!"
"After leaving here, I will go to Hogwarts to apply for suspension for Cassandra and Draco."
"I'll take them to Durmstrang."
After speaking, Lucius put on his top hat, pointed to Cassandra with his cane, and motioned for Cassandra to leave with him.
"Son, what do you think, just say it now?"
And the school manager was not reconciled, and wanted to ask, but Cassandra could only smile helplessly.
"I can only obey my father."
"That's right, this is a qualified Slytherin."
Little Avery chimed in and reminded the school managers.
As a Slytherin, Cassandra is not a kind Hufflepuff, or a rebellious Gryffindor.
Seeing that the two were about to walk out of the meeting room, the old school manager finally couldn't help but speak again.
"Lucius, do you really want your daughter to be a school manager?"
"be honest!"
Lucius stopped in his tracks, the corners of his mouth curled up.
"Of course, my daughter is so bright, it's only natural that I give her the qualifications to deserve her intelligence."
"Several of you are Ravenclaws, have you forgotten Ravenclaw's motto?"
"Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth."
"If you want the wealth of the Malfoy family, you need to trade your status, gentlemen."
148 1/3 perfect solution
Lucius finally showed the patriarch of his pure-blood family.
This was nothing new, Lucius had done it every school board meeting in the past.
It's just that every time after doing this, Lucius will be mobbed and attacked.
Then, like a big gray wolf, he said harsh words and left, leaving Dumbledore's supporters laughing together.
But today, times have changed.
No one dared to laugh at Lucius anymore, because Cassandra was already the last hope of these people.
After going through the stages of raising issues, deepening issues, and destroying unity, it's finally time for Lucius to show his strength. Um
Coupled with the preparations before the start of the meeting, this time Lucius was finally invincible.
Lucius also faintly felt that he understood the true meaning of politics better.
Spending money is only part of it.
The other two parts are to unite all those who can be united, and to let those who are not united by themselves act according to their own goals.
The method of driving others to act, in addition to coercion and temptation, can also rely on public opinion, emotion, and even the sense of justice in the heart of the other party.
In short, he finally got a little introduction to the broad and profound aspects of politics.
Seeing that no one answered him, Lucius knocked on the door with his cane.
"Gentlemen, I will give you one minute to think about it. This is the last of my patience."
After speaking, Lucius picked up the pocket watch.
Really start counting the time in such a grandiose manner.
The originally silent pocket watch seemed to have been given a loud voice, and every time the pointer turned, it hit the hearts of the nine school managers.
Soon, 1 minutes passed.
Lucius put away his pocket watch and was about to leave.
He really wasn't worried at all about these people bypassing him to make decisions.
The basilisk is inside Hogwarts, that's not something these people can handle, not even Dumbledore can handle the basilisk.
If these school managers made up their minds to delay the time, then Dumbledore would only suffer in the end.
Not Lucius and Cassandra.
"Please wait."
It turned out that Lucius still overestimated these people.
Although they are school managers elected through elections, there are not many people who really understand political operations.
Even under Dumbledore's deliberate manipulation, people who really understand politics cannot enter this environment.
As for Lucius, it doesn't matter, anyway, the pure blood family is used to pay for it.
But who would have thought that Lucius had an extra daughter.
Her name is Cassandra.
"If your daughter is really wise enough, I would like to elect her to be a member of the school board."
The words of the old school manager made several school managers look in disbelief.
Letting a little girl serve as a school director is something that has never happened in the history of the school board, and it would be a complete joke to say it.
Seeing someone trying to stop him, the old school manager said, "Actually, this is the ladder you prepared for your daughter."
"I think that most of the things on the school board are still up to you to decide."
The words of the old school manager are more like a kind of self-comfort than exposing the truth.
Although Lucius took the school board to give Cassandra her qualifications, although he was very upset, but anyway, the pure-blood family is a humanoid wallet.
Changing Cassandra to pay for it makes no difference.
As for the reputation of the school board... the school board is almost finished, let's think about killing the basilisk first!
Lucius' eyes flashed, and he didn't maintain the strength just now, but also gave the old school manager a step: "If my daughter asks for me, I will naturally not refuse to help her."
"What father would let his daughter bear the burden alone?"
Lucius' words made several school managers look stunned.
