Chapter 558: Principal Flint

A few days later at noon, when the temperature of the sun gradually began to rise, a black carriage pulled by four night horses quietly landed in front of Hogwarts Castle.

The arrival of the carriage attracted the attention of the students. Everyone put down what they were doing and gathered outside the hallway, staring at the vague figure in the window of the carriage with hostile eyes.

Unlike the students, Filch seemed a little too enthusiastic.

He took awkward little steps and trotted all the way to the carriage, opening the door for the people in the carriage.

Chris slowly walked out of the carriage. He was wearing a gorgeous jeweled crown on his head that looked like a crown at first glance, and a black robe made of small fur fur that looked simple but was actually luxurious. On the left chest of the robe was embroidered with a letter M representing the Ministry of Magic in gold thread!

He first frowned and looked at Filch who was fawning beside the carriage, then smiled and said to the group of students who obviously disliked him:

"Students, I'm very happy that you can come to greet me!"

Hearing this, the crowd suddenly became agitated. Ron grinned and whispered to Harry beside him with a disgusted look:

"He is really shameless!"

"Who said it wasn't!"

Harry and Hermione answered at the same time, with a deep sense of helplessness in addition to disgust in their tone.

As early as a few days ago, they had joined other students to test Professor McGonagall, hoping to prevent Chris from becoming the headmaster of Hogwarts in this way.

Unfortunately, just like the situation when Fudge was in power, the Ministry of Magic has absolute control over Hogwarts. It is not difficult for the Ministry of Magic to appoint a headmaster. The professors of Hogwarts have no room for resistance without Dumbledore.

But this does not mean that the students will give up so easily. With such a bad example as Umrich, everyone easily united together and wanted to drive Chris away by various means.

So, in this environment full of hostility and tension, Chris took office. But

Chris obviously did not expect that the students had united together. At this moment, he was walking through the crowd with his entourage and under the gaze of the people around him, walking towards Hogwarts.

At this time, the auditorium had already been decorated magnificently by the house elves. The flags of the four major colleges fluttered above the long tables of each college, moving without wind. On

the long table, there were sets of silver tableware neatly placed. Like previous banquets, as long as the principal gave an order, these empty tableware would be filled with various delicacies carefully cooked by the house elves.

The only difference from the traditional Hogwarts banquets in the past was that this welcome banquet exclusively for Chris Flint was held at noon, which was also Chris's request. He didn't seem to like the night very much.

Surrounded by his followers, Chris went straight to the podium that was previously exclusive to Dumbledore, watching the students take their seats one after another.

On the faculty seats behind him, McGonagall, Flitwick and other faculty members watched coldly.

They had actually arrived at the hall a long time ago, but they did not wait outside the castle for Chris's arrival like the students and Filch.

They were actually very disgusted with Chris's appointment as the headmaster of Hogwarts, but as faculty members of Hogwarts, they did not have the confidence of the students, so they could only express their emotions in this way.

Chris naturally felt the resistance of these faculty members, but unlike when facing the students, Chris not only did not greet them with a smile, but ignored them directly.

Standing on the high podium, looking at the little faces below, Chris's smile became brighter and brighter.

Originally, if it was just to find the Deathly Hallows, Chris could have done what he had expected, and found a puppet to act as the principal of Hogwarts, while he himself was behind the remote control.

But after careful consideration, Chris gave up this plan and chose to be the principal of Hogwarts himself.

This was undoubtedly a shocking decision. The Ministry of Magic and even the entire Yingguo wizard society expressed deep dissatisfaction with his behavior of abandoning the Ministry of Magic to serve as the principal of Hogwarts.

But Chris didn't care.

Because he knew very well that whether it was the officials of the Ministry of Magic, his supporters in society, or the faculty and staff of Hogwarts, they, one by one, were all dispensable roles.

Only the students sitting in front of him now are the hope of the future!

A strong youth makes a strong country!

This sentence is not just talk!

Chris is confident that as long as he can teach these students personally and instill his ideas into them, then when these students grow up, they will become his loyal fans.

And by that time, all the difficulties he faces at this moment will be solved!

Thinking of this, Chris took a long breath and said to everyone with a smile:

"Good afternoon, classmates. I am very happy to meet you again on such a day... Principal Dumbledore is a very great man, there is no doubt about that. It is precisely because of his selfless dedication that so many talents continue to emerge. Next, I will also uphold the will of Principal Dumbledore and continue to work hard!"

After a series of speeches, the atmosphere in the auditorium has become so dull that it cannot be made any worse. The students who experienced this high-intensity speech for the first time showed strong discomfort. Not only those who originally hated Chris became more indignant, but even the Slytherins who supported Chris became a little unhappy!

You know, when Dumbledore was still there, he would never make these messy speeches. Dumbledore's speeches were always short and clear, which was refreshing.

But despite this, when Chris stopped speaking, the Slytherins still gave their applause, which was the greatest support they could give as Chris' former classmates.

Chris was obviously very grateful and nodded in the direction of the Slytherin table.

Then, in the horrified eyes of everyone, he continued to speak.

"Of course, as the new headmaster of Hogwarts, I also have some new rules to announce. So first of all..." Chris took out a piece of parchment from his jacket pocket and read, "As everyone knows, Hogwarts Castle is a mysterious building that has been passed down since ancient times. Countless wizards have lived here for thousands of years, and naturally, many secrets are buried here. I know that you are very interested in these secrets, and some students even make discovering these secrets their own hobby. Am I right? Everyone in Gryffindor?"

After that, a burst of laughter immediately broke out at the Slytherin table, while the Gryffindor students were all unhappy.

Chris smiled and waved his hand, signaling the Slytherin students to stop, and then said:

"I understand what you are doing. Although life in Hogwarts is comfortable, it seems a bit boring, and you are in the most energetic period of your life, so it is normal to be interested in these mysterious existences. However, those mysterious existences buried in Hogwarts are not all safe, just like Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, the dangers buried in it are enough to take the life of anyone on the scene.

Therefore, in view of the above reasons, I, as the headmaster of Hogwarts, have decided to close some areas of Hogwarts. No one is allowed to approach. Violators will be expelled and will never be admitted again!

First of all, the first batch of banned areas are: the Room of Requirement, the Forbidden Forest, all basements except the Slytherin Common Room and the Potions Classroom, the vacant attic in the southeast, the secret passage under the Whomping Willow, Hogsmeade Village..."

As the names of the areas were read out one by one, the expressions of the students in the auditorium became more and more ugly.

Because these places have extraordinary significance, especially the Room of Requirement and Hogsmeade Village, which have almost become the favorite places for many Hogwarts students!

Now, these places are all closed, and the students' available areas are compressed into a very small range.

In the eyes of many people, this is no different from imprisoning them!

Almost instantly, several students stood up and loudly refuted Chris's words, wanting to make a final effort for freedom.

However, without exception, they were turned into baboons by Chris before they even finished speaking, and the roars in their mouths turned into meaningless beast roars.

Looking at the baboons fleeing in fear in the crowd, Hermione's face was ashen.

If Harry and Ron hadn't held her down just now, she would probably have become one of them by now.

At the same time, she and the rest of her classmates finally figured out one thing.

That is, after losing Dumbledore, powerful people like Chris can suppress and bully them unscrupulously!

The originally noisy hall suddenly became quiet, with only the voices of those poor baboons still echoing.

Seeing this, Chris's mouth corners slightly raised, and he flipped the pages in his hand, and then said:

"In addition, in order to further improve the learning efficiency of students and prevent you from wasting time. After discussing with the director of the Education Office of the Ministry of Magic, I decided to change the schedule of Hogwarts and manage you with reference to the training schedule of the striker. Starting from tomorrow, all students must get up before 6 am and go for a run. Dining etiquette must also be observed... There is a strict curfew at night... Intimate contact between men and women is prohibited... No strange clothes are allowed...

In addition, in order to enable students to learn more useful knowledge and become more useful people to society, I decided to improve the Defense Against the Dark Arts class and teach students more spells about combat. At the same time, the Defense Against the Dark Arts class will be officially renamed the Combat Self-Defense Skills Class. Stay tuned!"

"Finally," Chris looked at Filch, who still had a flattering smile on his face, and said with disgust, "I was surprised to find that there are such inferior creatures as Squibs among the faculty and staff of Hogwarts. This is extremely unreasonable and a waste of resources.

From this incident, I also understood that the original faculty and staff system constructed by Headmaster Dumbledore still has obvious defects. These defects allow some useless people to hide among the faculty and staff and suck the blood of Hogwarts. So I decided to dismiss all the Squibs in Hogwarts and review all the current faculty and staff of Hogwarts. Once it is found that someone is incompetent or slack at work, they will be dismissed!" As soon as

these words came out, the professors who were originally sitting in the faculty and staff seats suddenly changed their faces. From Chris's words, they smelled a hint of ominous smell.

Chris's move was obviously to eliminate dissidents!

The smile on Filch's face froze. He couldn't believe what he heard. He shook his head and said to Chris on the stage:

"You...you are joking, right? It must be like this, right? You know, I have been working at Hogwarts for more than 20 years! You can't..."

"Throw him out!"

Chris said coldly.

Then several followers beside him came out and escorted Filch out of the hall.

Seeing Filch being dragged out of the hall screaming, Chris's expression became a little better.

In his opinion, Squibs are simply the most despicable existence in the world, even worse than Muggles and those half-blood wizards who don't know what magical animal blood is mixed.

At least Muggles are still ignorant and won't cause any trouble. Wizards who are half-blooded with magical animals also have the ability to cast spells and can participate in the construction of the wizarding world.

But Squibs are a complete trouble!

They are parasites of society. Not only can they not make any contribution to the wizarding society, but they also lie on the society to suck blood!

Such people should all die!

Taking a deep breath, Chris felt that the air in the whole hall had become much better since the Squib left!

"Okay, classmates," Chris continued with a smile, "then please enjoy this banquet and eat!"

With Chris's order, a variety of delicacies appeared on the long tables of each college.

The richness of the dishes and the grand scale far exceeded any banquet held in the Hogwarts Hall before.

But at this moment, facing such a gluttonous feast, everyone did not have much appetite.

Because they all knew that the days ahead would be difficult!
