Chapter 446 Planned Expulsion

"Headmaster Karkaroff doesn't mind having a reputation for doing bad things," Mr. Rawl looked at Andrew, "a contract can be signed, and even negotiated in secret by Professor Karkaroff himself."

So that's what's happening.

Andrew roughly understood it - Durmstrang was different from Hogwarts.

I am a dark wizard. I am not afraid of a leader with bad methods, but I am afraid of a leader with poor methods.

Bribing wizards from other schools is not a big deal in Durmstrang! Especially if the reason for bribing is that you think the other party is very good and you want to hire him, then it is called discerning talent.

As for the fact that the other party is from Hogwarts and is stuck at the Triwizard Tournament, that's even better - they will just think that Professor Karkaroff has reached a new level of cheating and is worthy of being the headmaster!

As for Professor Nina, after a brief period of criticism, she will also gain a good reputation as someone who cannot be bribed, good reviews of her high level, and a lot of practical conveniences related to Lockhart.

"It's still not possible. I don't think we can protect the professor well. This will cause damage to the reputation of the school."

Andrew shook his head.

“The school can insist on protection, but the school board can impose it.”

'You're dreaming!'

Are you still planning to pass the resignation bill under Dumbledore's orders? Do you think I'm just here to waste my time? I don't know what you're thinking?
"There is no such possibility."

Andrew shook his head directly, "This won't work."

"How about making some more adjustments? Let Ms. Martin act like she was accidentally injured?"

"That's crazy. After this year's adjustment, I still want her to continue working next year. It's better if nothing goes wrong this year, otherwise the curse will be more real."

"No, there are already enough misunderstandings from the outside world in the Anti-Dark Arts course."

Andrew continued to shake his head. Anyway, he was not afraid of the other party's noise. If he had the guts, he would turn against them and see.

"After so many years, was it really a misunderstanding? Mr. Taylor, you also said that you have a good friendship with Ms. Martin in private. You don't think she can definitely withstand the possible curse, do you? Anyway, she was forced to leave school, why not choose a controllable one?"

The other party was probably amused by Andrew's ignorant attitude and stopped talking about the rumors.

But this time it really worked - because Andrew did have this concern.

There is a high probability that the curse exists. He has been saying it was a coincidence for so many years, and he can't even fool himself. Although he has made some adjustments this year, it is still unclear whether he can avoid it.

Especially since Professor Nina is the relative of a victim brought by a former professor, we cannot let her take all the risks.

"I can't make the decision. This matter needs Professor McGonagall to make the judgment." Andrew shook his head after a moment of silence. "But this does not mean that it will pass."

"I can wait for the results here."

"Jim, prepare refreshments for Mr. Rawle."

Andrew gave instructions and trotted all the way to Dumbledore's office - the two headmasters had been considering the changes to the Triwizard Tournament these days. He had initially planned to use Tai Chi to stop the other party, but now, it was no longer possible.

-

"We can try, especially the controlled departure. If we can control the way professors have to leave every year, it would actually be a good thing."

After listening to Andrew's description, Professor McGonagall nodded, "Taylor, I know you intend to completely correct the influence of the curse, but sometimes, compromise is necessary, whether it is the curse or the school board." 'It's still not strong enough. If I can rush over and kill the Noseless One with a spell, the curse will be lifted - 99% of the curses can be solved by killing the opponent.'

Andrew thought so, but did not refute it because what the professor said made sense.

He had no doubt about the professors' determination to maintain Hogwarts, and the poor economic system on which Hogwarts was founded also meant that it had to compromise financially.

"But it's a good thing that you're stopping us. At least we can get more benefits for our professors. To be honest, the salary offered by the Board of Directors is indeed not worth the risk of this position, but the rules cannot be changed."

The professor thought for a moment and said, "The board's proposal to remove Professor Martin is not advisable, but the board can be blamed for Professor Martin's early resignation. Aren't they planning to act as lobbyists? We can write that they exerted pressure and deceived Professor Nina, who was not familiar with the situation on campus, and tricked her into resigning voluntarily."

"For this reason, one of the school board members must resign, and they will decide on the specific candidates, and then consider joining after the next generation grows up."

"Professor Black's place?"

Professor McGonagall looked at Dumbledore, but was stopped by another Black on the wall, "Forget about him. Let the next generation get the seat back. It's strange to have professors and the board of directors connected."

"Okay, that's it. I'll go back and talk to Mr. Rawl. Is there anything else you need, Professor?"

Andrew thought he could bleed a little more, so he started asking.

"That's all, but Karkaroff must sign the contract with me in person after the next meeting, otherwise it will not be executed." The professor shook his head. "Durmstrang is an ally in a sense. Don't be too greedy towards your allies, Taylor."

"I'll keep that in mind, Professor."

Andrew nodded, but he felt a little uneasy - there was still some time before the magazine was published, but after this wave, he didn't know if Karkaroff still had the confidence and perseverance to persevere.

"Okay, let's go ahead. Also, I need to have a good talk with Professor Martin to prevent her from having any psychological burden. You talk to Mr. Roll first, and I'll confirm her needs. If she insists on not wanting to do it, then all negotiations will be cancelled."

Professor McGonagall said this, then put the documents on the table and walked out quickly.

Andrew clearly saw a look of relief on Dumbledore's face, but he didn't dare to look closely. He said goodbye in a hurry and went back to continue talking to Mr. Rawl about some irrelevant conditions.

Half an hour later, Professor McGonagall finally returned to the office.

"Taylor, how's the communication going?"

"All our requests have been granted, Professor."

Andrew nodded - probably because the school did not want additional funds or any other investment, even if it meant canceling a seat on the board of directors, the other party agreed after gritting their teeth.

There is no doubt that Karkaroff must have given a lot, and the local magical world is probably also involved. It should be a big order.

"Then let's sign the contract this afternoon, Professor."

Luo Er was a little impatient.

"Okay, it looks like he's here."

"Taylor," Professor McGonagall looked at Andrew, which made Andrew feel guilty - going to see Karkaroff now was a bit too much pressure on the brain to block.

But Professor McGonagall did not ask him to participate. "Communicate well with Professor Martin. She is under a lot of pressure."

"Yes, Professor."
