285. Do you call it a word and it promises?
"What did you say?"
A school manager said in disbelief after hearing Malfoy's words.
"Deprive Dumbledore of the position of principal of Hogwarts? Let's not talk about whether your reasons are sufficient. Just say who should be the principal of Hogwarts after Dumbledore is removed from office? Are you?"
Malfoy said lightly.
"What we are talking about now is not who should be the principal, but Dumbledore is said to be incompetent as the principal."
The school manager wanted to say something, but Malfoy interrupted him directly.
"Now we just have to vote. Those who oppose Dumbledore's departure should raise their hands."
Several arms were raised on the long table, and the opposing people accounted for about half of the twelve school managers. However, after careful counting, you will find that only five people actually raised their hands to object, while seven people expressed their approval.
The school manager who raised his hand looked at the unresponsive school managers, as if he was watching a group of brainless monsters.
"Don't you know what the consequences will be to drive Dumbledore out of Hogwarts? Who else can do this job besides him?" a school director raised his hand asked seriously.
Malfoy responded in place of the school board members who did not raise their hands: "Before we find a suitable candidate for the principal, Professor McGonagall, the current vice-president of Hogwarts can temporarily replace the position of Hogwarts president."
"What are you doing for? The secret room is not something that Dumbledore can't stop, and the secret room was also opened decades ago..."
"It's no point in saying this." Malfoy interrupted him with a wave of his hand. "Now the vote of the school board is 5-7, so the proposal is passed."
Mrs. Roll, who had been silent and had not spoken suddenly asked, "So what does Professor Dumbledore think about this?"
When the school managers heard her words, they turned to look at Dumbledore, who was sitting aside like an unrelated person.
Yes, they are now deciding the position of the greatest wizard of the 20th century, so what is his attitude?
The old god Dumbledore sat there, and when the school board members turned their eyes, he seemed to realize that they were talking about themselves.
Old Deng still had the harmless smile of humans and animals, as if he hadn't heard them discussing anything.
For some reason, Malfoy was a little nervous when he looked at Dumbledore now, but he still forced himself to speak.
"So Dumbledore, what do you think of our resolution?"
Dumbledore said with surprise when he heard his question.
"I am just the principal of Hogwarts. I have at most attendee seats at the school board meeting. What do you think?"
Hearing his words of weakness, Malfoy felt a sense of ecstasy.
As they had predicted before, as long as they were doing things within the rules, Dumbledore would accept it no matter what the result was. If he didn't accept it, he would have to break the rules and turn the table up.
But how did Dumbledore get such a great reputation in the magic world?
It’s not because he is strong enough that he is still willing to sit at the same negotiating table with the weak people.
Therefore, unless Dumbledore completely abandons his reputation in the magic world, he will have to follow the rules.
The result of the vote by the school board now is that the principal must abide by it unconditionally.
This result was not beyond Malfoy's expectations, but it still made him ecstatic and even felt a sense of elation.
Albus Dumbledore, the greatest wizard of the 20th century, the close friend of the Dark King, and the teacher of the second generation Dark King. If he was the Death Eater before Malfoy, then Dumbledore was a person of the same level as his master.
Now even such a person with a high status and strong strength must obey his own arrangements.
Although he has no strength, the feeling of power still makes Malfoy feel wonderful.
"Is this a proposal from you with the board of directors?"
Dumbledore nodded undeniably.
"What you said makes sense. I was indeed a dereliction of duty in the position of Hogwarts Principal this year. Minerva is also very suitable to replace me as interim principal of Hogwarts. Of course, I have no objection."
The directors didn't say anything, and the Hogwarts school managers who voted against him even looked at him with disappointment. Dumbledore was sometimes too weak.
Only Malfoy stood up excitedly.
"That's great, so when are you going to move out of Hogwarts? Oh, by the way, I heard that you don't have a place outside the school, so I'll give you a house, which is very good to support your elderly care..."
However, Dumbledore smiled and rejected him.
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Malfoy, but I don't need you to provide me with a residence."
"Yes, right, it's me that's abrupt. The Dumbledore family was once prominent for a while. How could they not have their own property in the UK..."
Dumbledore interrupted him again: "I think you misunderstood what I mean."
Malfoy stared wide and was stunned. The living room also became quiet. All the school managers were looking at the white-bearded old man who was over 100 years old.
Dumbledore's smile was restrained, and his eyes were focused and serious at the school managers sitting on both sides of the long table.
"I agree with your decision. I am the principal of Hogwarts, you are the principal of school directors, and of course you are qualified to deprive me of the position of principal. There is no doubt about this.
But first of all, you have to make it clear. The reason I stayed in Hogwarts is not because I am the principal of Hogwarts, but because Hogwarts is my thing.
So, even if I am not the principal of Hogwarts, I will still not leave Hogwarts. I think you shouldn't want to steal things like me, a lonely old man, right?"
He didn't sit in the long table where the school board was, and he didn't seem to need to sit in at all.
Because as long as this old man wants, no matter where he sits, he can be a kind and harmless old man next door, or a dictatorial principal Hogwarts!
No one spoke to the school boarders, only Malfoy was communicating with Dumbledore.
"Hogwarts...can it be your thing?" Malfoy seemed to be intimidated by the momentum Dumbledore exuded now, and his confidence was obviously lacking. "The ownership of this castle should be the school board, and we paid every amount of money in Hogwarts."
