Chapter 296 Dumbledore’s Trust

The effect of guidance from a famous teacher is surprisingly good, especially when the teacher's level is really ridiculously high.

It took Andrew less than half an hour to master the most standard pronunciation, gestures and wand-waving methods. As for the matching degree, he would have to practice slowly on his own later.

As for the cost?

There was no doubt about it - the pile of documents in Dumbledore's office didn't look like they had been piled up in a day.

"That's all. I need to find a place to think about how to better adjust your spellcasting errors. You can deal with the file after you have practiced enough."

Dumbledore spoke in a seemingly kind manner - because Andrew guessed that Dumbledore had left the office at least three days ago and had turned to his own business.

Then the principal ran away happily, leaving Andrew sighing and having to face his work helplessly.

"It's a holiday, but I have so many documents to deal with. I'm asking for trouble..."

He moved the file off Dumbledore's desk and placed it aside - why the hell hadn't the Christmas desk been moved out of the headmaster's office yet?

But there was no way to delve deeper into this matter, so he could only open the first file and start processing.

The first one was the restoration of the school lawn - this document made him stunned.

His range deformation spell was not a permanent one. Although a piece of lawn was subsequently split and scattered into the areas deformed by the range, not all areas could grow back to their previous appearance. It had not been suitable before, but now that no one was interfering, it was a good time to repair it.

"Fortunately, the required funds are not high... Wait, the principal didn't specially select these people to disturb me, right?"

It's questionable, but the impact is not significant.

The next document is a bit more interesting, it’s about a book giveaway – also during the holidays.

Before their death, several old wizards decided to donate their collections to the Hogwarts Library, and then the time was adjusted to the summer vacation, and various activities needed to be arranged.

"Mrs. Pince will come back specially... Now it's just a matter of adjusting the time and arranging activities... It's not a big problem. At least half of the books in Hogwarts' library come from this. It's a regular activity."

The next one is the preparation of so-called correspondence course textbooks.

Wizards who are not admitted to magic schools and Squibs who hold out hope will use these textbooks, but the effect is not very good. However, the school does not care about this. Professors are willing to put their names on a book or simply put their names on the textbooks of correspondence schools to come up with something. After putting their names on it, they need to report to the school.

It's basically approved. After all, it's not named after Hogwarts, and what they teach is real stuff. It's just that the learning outcomes are often not good.

...

"Ah? This one?"

Andrew was stunned - isn't this the kind of thing that he is allowed to approve?
Professor Binns's recommended course assignments - Professor Binns will be away on vacation this school year, and Sirius Black will take over the fifth, sixth and seventh year advanced classes.

The remaining four grades will be temporarily represented by the other two professors, and the best candidates will be selected after another assessment after Professor Binns' vacation.

"Keep it. I won't take the blame. My reputation will be ruined if the professor criticizes me."

He simply stuffed the document at the bottom and looked at the next one.

This one is even more impressive—it’s the professor’s offer letter.

!!! My dear Headmaster, do you think Professor McGonagall will not hang you in the Astronomy Tower?
The two of us decide - no, you let me decide on the professor's hiring?

The Ministry of Magic will go crazy, let alone the students. This is something that even professors shouldn't touch!

Fortunately, he finally calmed down and saw the recommended person.

He was familiar, Rubeus Hagrid.

The list of recommenders included not only the previous professor, Silvanus Kettleburn, but also a familiar name, Albus Dumbledore.

"What are you playing at? If you think Hagrid is suitable, then use him. Are you asking for my opinion? I am not worthy of this position. Please, Headmaster, Professor Dumbledore, I am just a student. I have no ability or qualifications to ensure the retention of such a crucial professor."

He picked up the list and was about to put it down there as usual, but after thinking for a moment, he gave up and started making notes on it with a quill.

'The Magical Creatures course has sufficient conditions. It is recommended to rehire the old professor to intern with the new professor for one year to complete the course handover. - Andrew Taylor.'

He looked at his signature and put it aside - it was outrageous. I had never heard of any teaching activities before his retirement. Did he want to abandon his students so directly?
Professor Kettleburn, don't even think about it, just train the new professor first!
If the principal asks for his opinion, then this is his opinion - if it's not okay, just reject it, haha.

Andrew, feeling much more relieved, put the document on the top of the processed pile and started to work on the next one.

"Increase investment in the laboratory, especially the alchemy experimental group... Hiss, the alchemy factory outside the school provides so much research funding? Okay, okay, I agree... This thing needs to spend money to make progress! Just need to set up an incentive system or something, no problem, I'll take care of it..."

-

"Albus, your recommendation was rejected, and it's still your student."

The painting on the wall began to laugh as soon as Dumbledore returned to his office - the fact that the headmaster of Hogwarts had his recommendation rejected by the students really made the old headmaster very happy.

"If he fought back, it means Minerva is not too satisfied. I have never dared to be too willful in this regard," Dumbledore said nonchalantly, "but Minerva is always too lenient with me unless she is in serious violation of discipline. I trust Hagrid and can even trust him with my life, but I am still hesitant about the professor."

He expected to get more support. Although the lack of support would not affect his insistence on making Hagrid the professor, if he refused, it would seem... even more interesting.

Dumbledore smiled as he looked at the approval opinion. "What Taylor said actually makes sense. Professor Binns has done a great job. Hagrid really needs to learn how to be a professor. Silvanus retired too quickly. We can't let him just run away like that."

"You're really going to listen to a student who even dismissed your opinion!"

"That's a good thing. Minerva gave him a watch last Christmas. I agree with Minerva. We can treat Taylor as an adult."

Dumbledore smiled and responded, "I don't think it's excessive at all. To be honest, Minerva has found an excellent assistant. He can always use his young brain to give us some new and strange ideas."

"Well, Albus, you're the Headmaster now."

"Yeah, so I'm going to write a letter to harass our old professor."

"But there are still half of the documents on the table!"

"Taylor has already agreed. I can't let Minerva's assistant develop a bad habit of breaking his word."

Dumbledore ignored the documents with a smile and began to write a letter.
