I swung a sword at Hogwarts

Originally, Dumbledore was to temporarily relinquish his position as headmaster until the investigation was completed.

But now he has resigned directly, which means that Hogwarts is no longer having a headmaster.

And all this is because of myself.

Harry fell into endless self-blame.

...

"Just quit immediately?"

John was a little surprised. He was very surprised to see the announcement.

"Someone informed on Potter and his gang of thugs," Malfoy said gloatingly. "Potter, who always thought he was the core, has now caused Dumbledore to resign."

John chuckled and said, "At least they negotiated peacefully."

Dumbledore voluntarily resigned, leaving the position of Headmaster vacant.

Umbridge wanted to be the headmistress, but old Barty knew that this tool would be discarded in the future, and it would be a laughing stock to have her become the headmistress.

The position of principal remains vacant as no suitable person has been found yet.

As for the candidate for acting headmaster, it should have been Professor McGonagall.

In terms of qualifications and status, Professor McGonagall is the most suitable.

It was a pity that Professor McGonagall was unwilling to take the position, but it also made old Barty feel relieved.

If Professor McGonagall continues to serve, Umbridge's role as Inquisitor will be hampered as never before.

You have to know that Professor McGonagall is not Dumbledore, and she doesn't like to let things take their own course.

If Umbridge punished students, Professor McGonagall and the Ministry of Magic would fall out and kick Umbridge out.

"John, we need to talk." Daphne took Pansy to find John.

John looked at Pansy's red and swollen eyes, nodded and said, "Change place."

They came to the Star Society.

It's Pansy's business.

To be precise, it was about Pansy's boyfriend.

I originally thought that Pansy, a love-brained girl, was completely devoted to her boyfriend.

As a result, that guy became Umbridge's lackey, which Pansy couldn't accept at once.

You have to know that Umbridge was once pressured by all Slytherins, but you, a third-year student, actually defected to the enemy?

Pansy came out of her love-brain state and was disappointed with her boyfriend.

After hearing this, John wanted to give Umbridge a thumbs up. This guy can also be used to cure love brain, which is really amazing.

Anyway, Pansy broke up with her boyfriend.

"So... this isn't a good thing?" John looked at Daphne in confusion, "Why is she crying?"

Daphne blinked and said, "Oh, that was because I used the Howling Curse."

John: "..."

Pansy: "I broke up with him, and I saw him sneaking around yesterday, holding a bottle of something."

"what is that?"

"A bottle of poison."

Pansy secretly filled a drop and fed the stuff to a mouse, which died instantly.

Daphne said seriously, "I doubt he's going to poison someone."

...

Chapter 342 Acting Principal and Candidate

Who was poisoned?

Given Pansy's boyfriend's status and the people he can interact with, there is no need to consider Gryffindor as the savior.

So who in Slytherin deserves to be poisoned?

Malfoy?

Regardless of whether Malfoy is worthy or not, since Lucius is now a general under Voldemort, it would not be him.

Then there is only one answer left.

John Wick.

As for why we confirmed that the other party was sent by Voldemort, it is because the only one who could use such despicable means is probably Voldemort.

"Poison?" John chuckled and said, "Pansy, you did a good job this time."

Pansy didn't expect to be praised, which made her feel embarrassed.

"You don't need to worry about this matter. I will handle it." John said, letting the two stay out of it, "Don't alert the enemy."

Daphne nodded and Pansy wiped away her tears. She actually hoped that John could lift the howling curse.

Didn't I get drunk and accept a confession at Daphne last time? And people are still holding a grudge against me.

Before Pansy could speak, Daphne quickly covered Pansy's mouth and said with a smile, "Then we'll leave first."

Pansy reached out her hand to rescue her, but she underestimated Daphne's strength and was dragged out.

John watched them go out, stroking the ring in his hand, and whispered, "The stage is ready, all we need is the actors."

He raised his hands high, and surrounded by starlight, a gorgeous crown appeared in his hands.

The Soul-Eating Curse was wrapped around it, and green light flickered in the crown, and it finally turned into an unwilling little snake.

...

After Umbridge forced Dumbledore to leave, she began her own rectification actions.

First she started looking for former students of Dumbledore's Army for individual questioning. Thanks to that clever student, she took photos of everyone.

Umbridge came to each of them, and according to Malfoy's gossip, Umbridge took a bottle of truth serum from Snape.

It seems that he still hasn't given up on expelling Harry.

"The famous Chinese philosopher Zhang Muzhi once said, 'He bullied you, but you pointed the gun at me.'"

Malfoy asked confusedly, "What do you mean?"

John said calmly, "It shows that good people are more likely to be condemned by external forces."

Putting down the newspaper, the headline read that Dumbledore admitted that he had secretly set up an army and was discovered, and has now resigned and disappeared.

A generation of White Devil was forced to this point.

It's embarrassing.

"If he had been less kind and more cruel, nothing would have happened." John shook his head and laughed, "But that wouldn't be Dumbledore."

Umbridge is not a qualified Slytherin, she does not have the vision that a Slytherin should have.

It was as if she thought Dumbledore was easy to bully and completely forgot who defeated the first Dark Lord Grindelwald and who was called the greatest wizard of this century.

This is also the reason why she was abandoned so early. If she had been smarter, everything would not have been so awkward.

But it was no loss to John.

Instead, John has already begun searching for a new principal.

Putting down the four cards with the lion, snake, eagle and badger, he stared at the cards quietly and took off the yellow one representing the badger.

Professor Sprout is an excellent herbalist, but he is not good enough to be a headmaster.

Then he took the eagle.

Professor Flitwick is an excellent professor and a powerful wizard.

With his tolerance for students and his pen-pal-like friendship with John, he is the best choice in peacetime.

But it was not suitable for him to be the principal now, so John let him go.

Left with the snake and the lion, John took the snake.

"Snape?" His eyes flickered.

Snape's ascension to the throne was suitable for Slytherin's honorable behavior, but his status was not suitable.

Not only is he Dumbledore's man, but he is also Voldemort's undercover agent.

Neither of them is suitable to be the principal.

Eliminating him, that only leaves Professor McGonagall.

He put the snake down, but still did not let it go.

"Snape can't do it, but there is still a Slytherin."

He saw Basil flying back and throwing a letter at John.

He smiled, opened the letter and read it quickly.

"Sure enough, when some dilemmas are put on the stage, Slughorn, who values ​​relationships, will take the initiative to pay attention."

As the previous Head of Slytherin, no one could be more suitable than him.

The letter was from Slughorn, expressing his concerns about the current situation at Hogwarts.

Even Slughorn, who wanted to avoid communicating with John, came to him. John picked up the quill and started writing on it.

He pointed out that the Ministry of Magic intended to arrange an acting headmaster to temporarily manage school affairs. Professor McGonagall was an excellent professor, but she was unwilling to serve as headmaster because of Dumbledore's matter.

I believe Slughorn should also understand Professor McGonagall. Professor McGonagall has principles in certain matters.

Professor McGonagall would not do that unless Dumbledore was absolutely sure that he could not come back.

But Professor McGonagall didn't want Umbridge to be the acting headmaster.

After handing the letter to Basil, Basil had just rested for a while and had just messed up Malfoy's hair when he was called back.

"Give it to Slughorn. If you can get another letter back, that would be best."

John stuffed dried fish into Basil's mouth.

Malfoy fixed his hair back into place, and when he saw John getting up, he asked in confusion, "Where are you going, John?"

"I need to go find Professor McGonagall."

With just a letter, Slughorn might still hesitate.

After all, in his eyes, John was just a student.

But it would be different if other professors also wanted him to come back.

So John went to Professor McGonagall's office and knocked on the door.

Professor McGonagall was surprised when she opened the door, after all, John had never looked for her.

"Professor McGonagall, I think I need to share some of the responsibilities of the school." John said with a smile, "I know you don't want some people to become acting headmasters, but someone has to take on this position."

Professor McGonagall's face fell, "You want me to be the acting headmaster? Mr. Wick."

"No, it's not. I know your concerns," John said with an unchanging smile, "so I want to recommend someone."

Professor McGonagall looked at John deeply and invited him in.

John also stated his purpose, "Professor McGonagall, do you remember Professor Slughorn?"

"Slughorn?"

Of course Professor McGonagall remembered, but she didn't expect that a student like John would be connected with such a person.

After all, Slughorn had retired, and Snape had taken his place.

John handed the letter from Slughorn to Professor McGonagall. "Professor Slughorn has expressed his concerns about the situation at Hogwarts. I think he would be a qualified acting headmaster."

Professor McGonagall picked up the letter and read it, with surprise flashing in her eyes.
