Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

Chapter 319 Skeeter Jumps Out Again

It turns out that nothing good happened when meeting Skeeter. Not long after, the sequel about Hagrid, a half-human, half-demon, becoming a professor at Hogwarts came out.

Skeeter first praised Dumbledore's decision to fire Professor Hagrid, and then turned around and introduced the new professor, Sainz.

"...What's interesting is that the person who took over this position is someone we never expected. He is the student who skipped a grade. According to the year of enrollment, he should still be in the sixth grade... What kind of magic does he have that can influence Dumbledore's decisions so many times..."

At the time, there wasn’t much coverage of the incident.

Most of the content is devoted to Harry Potter, with a reference to a certain witch who captivated both warriors.

Sainz thought that many wizards would write to him to complain, but the reality was that few people cared whether such a young wizard was suitable for the position of professor. The number of letters he received was far less than one-tenth of the ones Hermione received.

Compared to such trivial matters, people obviously prefer to eat melons about the savior. How can an inconspicuous young wizard be as important as the savior?

There is a strange phenomenon in "Harry Potter" that many wizards seem to have left their minds behind in school when they leave school. When encountering any problems, they don't think at all that they are also wizards. Either they wait for rescue from the Ministry of Magic, or they write letters to curse the Ministry of Magic, or they just follow others and are easily used by others.

Regarding Sainz's appointment as professor, they did not think of complaining or scolding Dumbledore, but instead wrote to say that Sainz had deceived Dumbledore with despicable means and demanded that Sainz resign voluntarily.

Mr. Sai was speechless about these "cleansing the court" people. He thought that if most of the magic world was like this, they would be doomed.

On second thought, it seems reasonable. If most of the wizarding world were not like this, Voldemort and his gang would have been beaten to a pulp long ago based on what they did. If this were the case, the path Voldemort advocated would never have been able to take off, not to mention the years of turmoil in the wizarding world.

Sainz found that he might have over-interpreted some things and created an imaginary enemy for himself that did not exist at all.

He suddenly thought that the various unreasonable things in the wizarding world might not have any conspiracy or intrigue at all, and there was no hidden clues at all. Maybe it was simply because people didn't expect it.

Take his use of the "painting world" to monitor the wizarding world as an example. The portrait of the Hogwarts headmaster can be moved back and forth between the school and his home. This is such an obvious clue, but the successive headmasters or others have never thought of taking advantage of this.

Not only Hogwarts, but also the Ministry of Magic, they have portraits for communication in the Muggle Prime Minister's office, but have never thought of developing other functions of these portraits.

There are also house-elves. Many Death Eater families are inherited families, and I think many people have them at home. But when they invaded Hogwarts, they were waiting for Malfoy to repair the Vanishing Cabinet, and they didn't think of letting the elves take them to Apparate.

It was for this reason that Sainz kept the secret from Tom, Jerry and the painting world strictly confidential and did not even tell Old Dumbledore. It would be hilarious if they found out and the method he invented became a means for others to monitor him.

He also never mentioned the fact that house-elves could Apparate into the school, which would have been a big deal if someone had tipped off Voldemort and his gang.

Where there is a spear, there is a shield. Ever since Sainz was able to Apparate, he has been trying to develop magic to prevent house-elves from Apparating. Sainz really can't stand the existence of such a big loophole.

"It seems that Mr. Sai was just fighting with the air before," Sainz thought, "These wizards may only consider the problem in the most direct cause-and-effect way, such as 'I give you money and you give me goods'. If they think a little bit differently, they may not understand.

This might also be the root cause of the economic problems in the magic world. It's not that there are any hidden forces behind the scenes manipulating this, it's just that people simply didn't expect it.

Sometimes, only literary works need to use logic, and reality does not need it at all. Many times, some seemingly unbelievable things may simply be the result of the parties involved simply not expecting it to be so.

Sainz suddenly remembered an ancient civilization. Archaeological discoveries showed that in the history of that civilization, nothing was round. Yes, they did not have wheels.

If this situation appeared in any novel, the author would definitely be suffocated by the spray, but reality is so absurd, they just don’t have wheels!

Sainz thought of Lao Volt again. Lao Volt might have some level of magic, but as for other aspects, hehe, it’s better not to talk about them.

He had united many people in the past. If he had changed his mindset, instead of asking for it directly from old Dumbledore, he could have done what Sai did and made all the members of the board of directors his own people. Why would he need to apply to be a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts? Wouldn't it be better to just be the principal?

It doesn't take too long to become a principal, just a dozen years, which is enough time for several batches of students to graduate, and you can have as many people as you want, right?"

Mr. Sai originally wanted to ask the owl to bring back some local specialties to cause some trouble for the guys who sent the letters, but after opening those warning letters that were all similar, he just felt bored. There was really no sense of accomplishment in fighting these monsters, so he simply ignored them.

Should I confront Skeeter? Sai thought, "Forget it, she is not guilty of a crime that deserves death. I should give her a chance to reform. I should publish a statement in the newspaper. If she can realize her mistakes from now on, it will be fine. If she continues to provoke Sai, it means she deserves to be killed by Sai."

Counting the time when I deliberately misspelled Sai's name, and this time I brought up the past, it's already the second time. As the saying goes, three times the limit, if I come to disgust Sai again...

"Write a letter," Sainz said to the quill on the table. He decided to submit an article to another newspaper.

The sketch pen immediately filled itself with ink and stood in front of a piece of parchment.

"After hearing the question raised by reporter Skeeter, I reflected on whether I was qualified to be a professor of a course. But then I suddenly remembered that I had taken the wizarding level examination and my professorship was approved by Dumbledore himself and also recognized by the board members.

I suddenly realized that reporter Skeeter was not questioning me personally, she was questioning the fairness of the Ministry of Magic, which was undoubtedly a question of the respected professors in charge of the exams. She was questioning whether they helped me cheat.

Originally, if reporter Skeeter was only dissatisfied with me, I would not care, after all, one person cannot satisfy everyone. However, her questioning of those respected professors, scholars and board members made me feel that I could not remain silent.

Since reporter Skeeter has such doubts, I think she must have evidence that the examination team helped me cheat, and must have evidence that I influenced the decisions of the board members. I hope she can present this evidence to convince everyone.

Otherwise, I will have to doubt her integrity as a journalist and wonder if someone is behind her abusing her power."
