HARRY POTTER: I AM THE WHITE LORD

Chapter 70 The Old Man Who Stole Phoenix

.....

After leaving Snape's house, Sebastian went to Hogwarts to meet Dumbledore as promised.

Hogwarts during the holidays seemed particularly quiet, completely different from the lively scene during the semester.

The corridor was no longer filled with the noise of students, only a few ghosts floated by, leaving a little cold breath.

The marble staircase stood quietly, and no hurried footsteps echoed on it.

The hall seemed particularly empty, and there were no flocks of owls flying over the ceiling with letters and packages.

After Sebastian pushed open the door of the principal's office, the scene in front of him made him laugh.

Principal Dumbledore held a colorful feather pen in his hand and was using it to tease his phoenix, Fawkes.

Fawkes stood motionless on the shelf. When he was annoyed, he would roll his eyes, then flap his wings restlessly, and make a few dissatisfied calls from his mouth, as if complaining that the old man was really boring!

Yo!

This damn familiar feeling.

Isn't this exactly the same as the Muggle old men who like to walk their birds?

It's just that Dumbledore played it in a more advanced way, using the Phoenix.

What a high-level game!

Seeing Sebastian come in, Dumbledore returned to his seat, put down the quill in his hand, and smiled kindly.

"Oh, Sebastian, I heard that you have a special little guest at home? Please take a seat."

Sebastian smiled and nodded, and sat on the chair opposite Dumbledore.

"Yes, Headmaster Dumbledore, you are really well-informed. Harry is living in my house now."

"I took him to London for a good tour and also took him to Diagon Alley."

"The little guy is very curious about the wizarding world and is passionate about learning spells."

"It just so happens that I am quite good at this, and after a year of teaching, I am more comfortable with teaching students."

"So, I taught him a few small spells, and he practiced them diligently every day."

"In addition, Harry has also developed a great interest in learning potions, so I found him a good teacher - Severus."

"He lives a very fulfilling life every day!"

Dumbledore's eyes flashed with helplessness: "Then you must be very busy, but Harry is still young, don't tire him out."

To be honest, Dumbledore immediately heard Sebastian's ambition to train Harry with all his strength.

He was a little worried that Harry must have known his life experience by now.

He didn't want Harry to grow up to be an extremist who lives for revenge.

But he couldn't say it openly, otherwise there would be a rift between him and Sebastian.

So, he could only change his words in a tactful way.

"His childhood was not happy, so I hope he can be more relaxed and happy."

"When he gets to Hogwarts, he will have plenty of time to study."

Sebastian sighed in his heart.

Other young wizards can do this, but can Harry do the same?

He is a thorn in the eye of Voldemort.

In a few years, Voldemort will make a comeback.

If we don't race against time to improve Harry's strength, will we let him live under our wings forever?

"For young wizards, happiness is the most important thing, what do you think, Sebastian?"

It's the same idea of happy education again...

Sebastian's heart is very resistant.

Dumbledore doesn't even look at how the strength of the British magic world has regressed now.

When he graduated, due to the pressure of the war, almost all graduates knew the Shield Charm.

In contrast, now, very few graduates of Hogwarts can use the Shield Charm.

Even many Auror trainees cannot use this defensive spell.

Because of this, Scrimgeour, the director of the Auror Office, has lost his temper.

In the past two years, fewer and fewer students have become Auror trainees upon graduation.

Even Mia told herself that it is becoming increasingly difficult for St. Mungo's Hospital to recruit satisfactory therapists.

What about other aspects?

How long has it been since Hogwarts participated in a large international competition?

How long has it been since Hogwarts students appeared in a worldwide competition like the Magic School Potions Championship? If

you don't communicate with the outside world all day, you don't know how high the level of students in other countries is.

Anyway, according to the news sent back by Swann's Alchemy Branch in the United States, the graduates of Ilvermorny School look down on British wizards.

In their mouths, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has become Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Sebastian curled his lips slightly, and he completely disagreed with Dumbledore's statement.

However, he didn't want to continue arguing with Dumbledore on this issue.

After all, he didn't meet Dumbledore today to argue about these things.

"I will seriously consider your idea," Sebastian changed the subject with a smile, "I came here today to talk to you about the reform plan for the next school year."

"Reform plan?" Dumbledore became interested.

At the beginning of the last school year, Sebastian made a bold statement.

After Dumbledore's observation, the members of the Quidditch school team were able to get along very harmoniously in the later period.

Moreover, wouldn't the final results prove everything?

What is even more surprising is that many cross-college friendships have emerged on campus, especially among the little wizards in the third year.

And they all have one thing in common, that is, they have all taken the Muggle Studies class.

Now it seems that the young man Sebastian has indeed achieved some results in initially breaking down the barriers between colleges.

Of course, this road is still very long.

Now, Dumbledore wants to hear what other wonderful ideas this young man has.

"My plan is called work-study, and it mainly unfolds in two aspects."

"First, for students with excellent academic performance, they can apply to become teaching assistants for professors of various subjects."

"Let me give you an example. In the Charms class, some little wizards can learn new spells all at once, but more little wizards learn slowly."

"This phenomenon is also very obvious in Transfiguration and Potions classes."

"And because there are many students, professors cannot take care of every little wizard in time."

"At this time, the teaching assistants can work with the professors to provide help to those little guys."

"The little wizards who become teaching assistants can not only earn some living expenses, but they can also consolidate what they have learned while teaching other little wizards."

"This has a resounding name among Muggles, it's called the Feynman learning method."

Sebastian talked eloquently, introducing the benefits of it to Dumbledore.

"Secondly, we also need to take into account those students who are not so good at studying."

"Some of them come from Muggle families, and some come from ordinary wizard families."

"We can provide some jobs, such as taking care of the herbs in the greenhouse, or preparing potion materials for the potion class."

"In this way, they can earn their living expenses through their own efforts."

"I believe that they will study hard on their own initiative and make themselves competent for the jobs provided by the school."

After saying that, Sebastian took out a thick plan and handed it to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore was very interested in this work-study plan. He quickly opened the plan and read it carefully.

This time, he read very slowly and thought for a long time.

Finally, he raised his head and looked at Sebastian in embarrassment.

"This plan is very good."

"But there is a very serious problem."

"The school's funds... are not enough..."
