I Was Spotted By Grindelwald and Went To Hogwarts

,!

Professor McGonagall paused mid-sentence because she turned around and saw not only Sean, but also Hermione, Daisy and Stephanie behind Sean.

The expression of the Transfiguration professor was slightly strange.

She also knew that Sean had always had a good rapport with women, but it was quite surprising that these three girls appeared behind him together.

As the revered vice-principal, Professor McGonagall also heard many "rumors" about the relationships between men and women while managing students.

At present, because of Daisy Porter's silver-white fire dragon that amazes everyone, there are the most "rumors" between this beautiful girl who is only in fourth grade and Sean. Of course, this is also "thank you" The Weasley brothers added more flair.

Of course, Hermione Granger, who enrolled in school and attended classes with Sean and grew up together, also had a lot of "plays", but it was just much less than that of Daisy.

As for Stephanie Ollivander, Professor McGonagall has never heard of any ambiguous rumors between the two. However, this petite, delicate-faced girl who avoids strangers is quite famous in the school. Professor McGonagall also knows that Stephanie has extraordinary magical abilities and has mastered her grandfather's staff-making skills.

The three girls in front of them took off their wizard robes, each one dressed more beautifully than the other, and they happened to be at Sean's house...

Professor McGonagall couldn't help but sigh secretly, these are the three most beautiful girls in Ravenclaw!

But I am the Head of Gryffindor...

She put aside some small gossip in her mind and looked at Sean and the others.

"Miss Granger, you are just in time."

With that said, Professor McGonagall took out two letters and handed them to Sean and Hermione respectively.

Sean took it with some doubts, but Hermione's doubts only lasted for a short while. After she took the letter, she seemed to remember something, and her face turned red with excitement.

Hermione knew what this was?

Sean opened the letter with the Hogwarts school badge in confusion.

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore

(President of the International Federation of Wizards, First Class of the Order of Merlin, Archmage, and Chief Magician of the Wizengamot)

Dear Mr. Wallop, we are pleased and solemn to inform you that you have been selected to be Ravenclaw House's new Prefect of Boys, commencing in your fifth year and ending at the graduation of your seventh year.

As a prefect, your rights and responsibilities include:…

There was a lot written on the parchment, summarizing the special rights and obligations of the prefects, plus some words of congratulations and encouragement, and this was the content of the entire letter.

Prefect... Sean scratched his head helplessly.

Frankly speaking, it was expected that he would become the prefect. In all aspects, Sean was the best candidate for Ravenclaw's new prefect. However, Sean feels that he personally does not need this privileged status, mainly because he does not want to bear those responsibilities.

There are quite a lot of troublesome things that prefects have to do...

He was willing to solve big troubles, and he was willing to pay for Hogwarts. If it was a small trouble... Sean felt that he was a little lazy.

But...he glanced sideways at Hermione.

The girl is reading the letter carefully, and the joy on her face can be clearly seen.

If my partner is Hermione, it seems possible maybe - I won't need to do too much work?

Professor McGonagall waited for both of them to finish reading the letter, and then said: "Congratulations, Mr. Wallop and Miss Granger, you are now the new prefects of Ravenclaw."

"Thank you, Professor!" Hermione responded immediately and excitedly.

Sean also said a word of thanks, but he didn't look that excited.

Mrs. Wallop, who was on the side, had already received Sean's letter and was reading it. The joy and excitement on her face were the same as Hermione's. She first expressed her gratitude to Professor McGonagall and Hogwarts. Then gave Sean a hug.

"Oh, honey, congratulations. I'm so proud of you. Your dad must feel the same way."

"Thank you, Mom." Sean smiled gently, and his mother's appreciation still needed to be responded to.

Then he looked at Professor McGonagall and waited patiently.

As far as he knew, the appointment of prefects in the four major colleges was generally selected by the dean of the college, and then handed over to the president and vice president for decision-in fact, it was just a process, and the list submitted was the final decision.

Moreover, a letter is usually enough for prefect appointments, and professors will not be required to go out of their way to do so - especially when Professor McGonagall who delivers the letter is still the Head of Gryffindor.

This shows that sending the letter of appointment as prefect is just a way of doing it. There should be other things to talk to Sean about.

Sure enough, Professor McGonagall continued: "Prefect is a new learning path. I hope you both can work hard. Of course, I have always been at ease with the two students who are the first and second in the grade."

"I will work harder, Professor McGonagall!" Hermione was completely immersed in the joy of becoming a prefect, and she wanted to swear a poisonous oath when she promised.

"Well, Miss Granger, come on, I'm very optimistic about you. By the way -" Professor McGonagall changed the topic, "Mr. Wallop, can I talk to you alone?"

"Of course, Professor, come this way."

Sean led Professor McGonagall into the private living room where they had just come out, and then closed the door.

"Sean, it seems that you have been waiting for me to speak?" Professor McGonagall turned around and looked at him and said.

Sean spread his hands: "Professor, I didn't know you made a special trip to get two appointment letters - what is your main purpose of coming to me?"

Professor McGonagall pushed up her glasses and said seriously: "There is a new position, no, the original temporary position has been reactivated. Professor Dumbledore asked me to give this position to you."

"The old position has been reactivated?" Sean was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "Recruitment director?"

He had never held any position before, and now that it was the admissions season, he could only be the person in charge of admissions.

Professor McGonagall nodded: "Professor Dumbledore and I both hope that you can serve as the person in charge of Hogwarts admissions again. Of course, this is a request, not a requirement. Although I hope you can agree, But everything still depends on your personal wishes.”

As he spoke, Professor McGonagall's expression softened, with some apology on his face.

"You have experienced a lot of things that should not have been experienced by you. As a professor and vice president, it makes me especially ashamed that a student has to take risks and fight - and now I have to leave other things in your hands... "

Sean showed his white teeth: "Professor, please don't have such a burden. To be honest, I quite enjoy the adventure - I may have some Gryffindor qualities in my bones."

Professor McGonagall showed a look of deep regret: "Oh, forget it, you were not sorted into Gryffindor."

"Hahaha, it's all Hogwarts anyway - by the way, Professor, I can agree to this position, but you have to tell me the specific situation."

The person in charge of admissions, this is a dream for Sean who wants to cultivate his power from a young age. The most detailed information about each student can be sent to Sean's hands immediately, which gives him a way to fish for SSR in the card pool. pleasure.

Moreover, Professor McGonagall just emphasized that this is a position that Professor Dumbledore hopes he can take on.

This shows that the old man who loves to play riddles also acquiesced to Sean's formation of his own force. It can even be said that Sean now wants to form a new force named Wallop at Hogwarts. His background is the entire Hogwarts. All the professors at UT...

Of course, Dumbledore may have a deeper intention, but this is not something Sean has to consider - never try to figure out the mind of a Riddler...

Professor McGonagall smiled when she heard Sean agree, and she said: "As expected, Albus said you will definitely agree."

Sean spread his hands helplessly. Dumbledore must have guessed what he was thinking.

"Let me explain to you the current enrollment situation first."

"Okay, sit down and talk, Professor."

Professor McGonagall nodded and sat down, then explained: "You were also involved in the last enrollment, but that was a special situation. Everything was done in the most efficient and direct way, but normal enrollment cannot be like this. ”

"Sean, do you still remember when you received the admission notice?"

Sean nodded and smiled: "Of course, Professor, I will never forget that day in my life."

Professor McGonagall also smiled after hearing this: "I wonder if you have noticed that the person who came to your home at that time was Charlotte, the president of our Hogwarts student union. Nurmengard also sent colleagues. Colton, who is the student council president—did you think they just happened to arrive at the same time?”

After hearing this, Sean recalled it and said: "Indeed, it was Charlotte who came to my house first, and then Colton followed closely - I remember, Charlotte was very nervous because she was always followed by Colton. accurate."

Professor McGonagall smiled helplessly: "The two of them had some strange feuds - not to mention the two of them, in fact, you didn't just meet two people who came to recruit students, but Hogwarts and Newmont. Gad’s enrollment is carried out simultaneously.”

Sean nodded thoughtfully.

"It seems that you should have thought of the key point - yes, now, in magic schools around the world, except for a few stubborn so-called pure-blood aristocratic schools, most of the students in other schools come from Muggles. family."

"Obviously, Muggle families have never been exposed to magic before, and they have no understanding of magic schools. This means that no matter which school's admissions staff comes first, as long as the existence of magic is proven, they will almost certainly be able to recruit them. That student."

Professor McGonagall sighed with a headache: "Originally, we didn't have this problem. After all, most of Hogwarts' students are in the UK, and other magic schools will not come to compete with us."

"But since the establishment of Nurmengard, in order to quickly recruit students, the whole of Europe has become their competition ground, and the new students of Muggle families have become the most popular food - that year, the newly established Nurmengard Early admissions were accepted all over Europe, and that year, there were only twenty-one new students at Hogwarts, eighteen of whom were from wizarding families."

Sean smiled awkwardly. This style of robbing people without being reasonable is indeed very Grindelwald...

Professor McGonagall continued: "Then, major schools, whether it is Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, or even Kodos Doris in Russia, have also opened enrollment in advance - because you only need to be better than Newmonga If the admissions staff of Germany are late, then the new student from a Muggle family must be one of them."

"For this reason, major schools have begun enrolling students in advance, and schools that lack students have also looked for young wizards from other areas. I had not yet joined Hogwarts at that time, but I heard that the original July enrollment was continuously advanced, and in the end even Earlier in June, May, etc., and even during the Christmas holidays of the previous year, new students for the second year were directly recruited.”

"This directly led to confusion in the student resources of each school. Some schools enrolled too many students, and the teachers and facilities could not keep up. Some schools recruited students with completely different languages, resulting in that student being able to only learn foreign languages ​​in the first two years of school. And some schools have completely lost their students, and there are only a few people walking around in the school all day long.”

"It can be said that because of the emergence of Nurmengard, the magic education world at that time was extremely chaotic, but-"

Professor McGonagall sighed.

Sean knew what he wanted to say, but the principal of Nurmengard was that unreasonable guy Grindelwald...

It has nothing to do with him if other schools close down or are overloaded, as long as his own Nurmengard can recruit people. Moreover, whether it was teachers, equipment, or language barriers, Grindelwald, who had many saints, could easily find a bunch of loyal professors - even without paying a salary.

"What happens after that?" Sean asked.

"The first thing Professor Dumbledore did when he took over as the principal of Hogwarts was to contact Grindelwald, who was the principal of Nurmengard at the time, and then he contacted the principals of other magic schools before finally making a decision. "

"Each school's enrollment is still based on the previous range. Nurmengard's admissions range is limited to Europe and its vicinity. Furthermore, Nurmengard's admissions staff must contact other schools when entering the admissions range of other schools. of admissions staff.”

Sean nodded in realization. I see, no wonder Charlotte and Colton arrived together. It was not a coincidence at all, but the two of them had to act together.

"So, the final admissions selection became a demonstration of the eloquence and ability of the admissions staff between schools. Although it was a lot more troublesome than the initial admissions process, it was not so confusing after all."

"This enrollment model has been maintained until now through constant adjustments. Of course, last year's enrollment process was a special situation - you also felt it. In fact, when Nurmengard was first established, major schools were competing for students like this. ." Professor McGonagall shook her head helplessly.

Sean asked: "What about this year? Do we still want to rob people? If we want to rob people, I have to find someone to help immediately."

"No need this year, no need this year," Professor McGonagall said quickly. "Professor Dumbledore contacted the principals of those schools, and finally returned to the rough status quo."

Sean sat down again when he was about to stand up. He nodded: "Then what do I mainly do as the admissions director?"

"On the one hand, you have to come to recruit students like Charlotte. On the other hand, you also need to be responsible for coordinating the overall enrollment plan. Several other admissions staff, the presidents of the male and female student unions, and several professors are all under your command. In addition, you have to direct the other admissions staff, the male and female student union presidents, and several professors. , there is another reason why I came to you."

"What?" Sean asked curiously.

Professor McGonagall smiled: "Because of your eloquence and ability."

"Eloquence and ability?" Sean laughed.

Professor McGonagall nodded seriously: "Yes, you should also know that after the rise of Nurmengard, a lot of students from other schools were taken away. Although I don't want to admit it, I must say, Nurmengard is Nurmengard's admissions staff are smarter than the people we send, and they can always convince young wizards to choose Nurmengard instead of Hogwarts."

"So, you want me?"

"Snatching back the source of students - you also know the specific situation in the last enrollment session, then you also know that the enrollment scope of several major schools partially overlaps, and there are also some small countries that rely on their own abilities - in previous years, it was basically Newmont The people Gad snatched away.”

Professor McGonagall pushed up her glasses again, and there was an inexplicable light in her eyes.

"With your eloquence and ability, I think you can win back a lot of students."

Sean touched his head: "The people sent by Nurmengard should be very professional, I can't say for sure."

"In my opinion, no matter how good the people of Nurmengard are in learning, they are still not as good as you." Professor McGonagall raised an eyebrow rarely.

Sean smiled.

Professor McGonagall is implying that why people from Nurmengard can grab students is because Grindelwald teaches well - but who can compare to Sean who was taught by Grindelwald himself?

When it comes to inciting people and inciting emotions, Sean learned the essence from Grindelwald.

Moreover, his status as a Nurmengarde has a natural advantage... I am the closed disciple of the old principal that you collectively worship...

"In addition, Professor Dumbledore asked me to bring you a message. He said that you can only execute it yourself."

As he spoke, Professor McGonagall handed over a piece of parchment imprisoned by magic.

The moment Sean made contact, the magical restrictions on the parchment were automatically released.

Such advanced magic, I have never seen it before... Sean raised his eyebrows in surprise.

He unfolded the parchment and saw Dumbledore's familiar handwriting.

"Dear Sean:"

"Forgive me for not being able to show up directly to provide you with more help and guidance. I think you are smart enough to have guessed some general reasons."

"I am not writing these words as an invalid apology. Although I long for your forgiveness for my inaction, there are more pressing and important things that I need to complete at the moment."

"I want to ask you one thing. When you receive the admissions range, you should be able to notice that the admissions range of Hogwarts partially overlaps with Durmstrang. I hope you can take it with you as much as possible. All the students that can be taken away, that is, we must let Durmstrang recruit fewer students.”

"In addition, there are several neutral areas that were recruited by Nurmengard in previous years, but after last year's enrollment incident, the four major magic schools are eyeing them."

"My request to you is still to recruit as many students as you can. If you can't recruit students there, don't let Durmstrang recruit them. You can recruit them to Beauxbatons or Nurmengard."

"I'm a little embarrassed to make so many requests rashly, but it may be of great importance. I hope everything goes well for you. Also - attached is Durmstrang's enrollment range and order in previous years."

"Yours truly: Albus Dumbledore."

There is a map at the bottom of the parchment, with a large number of locations marked on it, basically all in Germany and Northern Europe, and the order of Durmstrang's admissions personnel is attached.

Hiss... Sean took a breath of air.

Dumbledore's meaning is too obvious. Durmstrang may have a problem, so he must try to prevent the other party from recruiting young wizards.

And this final scope and time sequence are almost obvious to Sean - if you have time, go directly to Durmstrang to recruit students.

Didn't it mean that the principals had already discussed it? Dumbledore's move was really insidious...

But it also proves that Durmstrang may have a big problem now.

"Have you finished reading?" Professor McGonagall asked.

"Well, I understand what Professor Dumbledore means." Sean replied.

"Okay, I won't ask any more questions," Professor McGonagall nodded, "You can decide on your own what Albus has asked you to do, and the recruitment process will start the day after tomorrow. Come and gather at Hogwarts then."

"This is a portkey. On the one hand, it is to make it easier for you to come to Hogwarts. On the other hand, the situation outside is relatively tense now. This portkey was made by Professor Dumbledore himself. His original words were 'When escaping, It’s very convenient and very durable’.”

Sean took a pair of thick wool socks from Professor McGonagall, looked at them and put them in his arms.

Dumbledore was quite thoughtful.

"That's about it. Let's meet at Hogwarts at eight o'clock the day after tomorrow?" Professor McGonagall said.

"Okay, Professor, see you then."

The two walked towards the door. When Sean was about to open the door, Professor McGonagall suddenly turned her head and smiled at him.

"Actually, there is a selfish motive."

"Huh? What should I say, professor?" Sean asked curiously.

"Although a lot has happened in the past year, everyone is still working hard to keep everything developing normally - so activities in the next school year will still proceed as usual."

Sean reacted immediately: "The Goblet of Fire has been decided to be held as scheduled?"

"That's right," Professor McGonagall sighed, "Nurmengard has won the last few games..."

"Then what is the selfishness you just mentioned?"

Professor McGonagall looked at Sean faintly: "Of course, I hope you can participate."

Sean shook his head with a smile: "Professor, I remember the Triwizard Tournament. Oh no, it's the Four Wizard Tournament now. You have to be an adult to participate, right? Frankly speaking, even if the Goblet of Fire is delayed for another year, I won't be able to catch up. , my birthday is in November.”

"Yes, that's why Hogwarts needs to provide you with a substantial certificate."
