Chapter 286 A Promise Made Thousands of Years Ago

Each college has its own stereotypes. Even the founders find it difficult to take off their tinted glasses when looking at the colleges.

Helga's perception of Gryffindor College is that the students of this college are very "reckless". They prefer to solve problems with fists and wands rather than verbal disputes.

Gryffindor students gather in groups of three or five, noisily, start duels when they disagree, and then continue to play as if nothing happened.

But the current headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, looks like a calculating Slytherin just from his behavior.

How could he allow the dark creatures of the Ministry of Magic to appear near Hogwarts? ! Even if it is to search for fugitives, this behavior is too much.

Hufflepuff feels that Dumbledore may not have inherited the spirit of Gryffindor.

"Maybe it's because of old age? Isn't it normal for people to become gentler in temper when they get old?" Rice said a fair word for Dumbledore. Although he and Helga were both from a thousand years ago, in terms of actual physical age, Dumbledore, who is over a hundred years old, is better.

"I'm old, but I don't think I've changed much!" Helga hit the inner wall of the carriage in dissatisfaction, looking extremely dissatisfied.

Les: ...

No, Helga's personality has changed a lot after getting older, but this can't be said.

"But no matter what, Dumbledore is the current headmaster of Hogwarts. You are not the legendary wizard, Helga Hufflepuff, and I am not Salazar Slytherin. I am just an ordinary student at present, and you are just a teacher who has not yet started working."

Les's words calmed Helga's emotions.

Indeed, Dumbledore is the current headmaster, which is an indisputable fact. According to the agreement between the four people, they should respect the decision of the current headmaster.

The four of them did discuss this topic before. Because according to their idea, when Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is on the right track and the heirs they have trained grow up to be able to stand on their own, they will unload their burdens and hand over the school to the heirs.

The four old guys will leave the school and enjoy the last period of their lives - it will be a comfortable, free, carefree and happy time.

Although the development of things later exceeded their expectations, they did plan to do so at the beginning. But there is a very realistic problem in front of them: the successors of Hogwarts are the students they brought up. Will the existence of the four of them have too much impact on the successors, so that they will eventually become "retirement but not rest"?

For this reason, the four of them started a long discussion...

"I don't want to receive work-related letters while enjoying my life." Godric took the lead in expressing his thoughts

"Yes, maybe we can only retain the right to make suggestions and let the children do things." Helga followed up.

"Ridiculous, the right of suggestion you mentioned will inevitably make the successor headmaster our puppet." Rowena refuted mercilessly: "I think we should not even have the right of suggestion - just give them the task, and then the four of us can just erase our tracks and leave the school."

"Children who can't find our traces must learn to handle affairs independently, which will be a good start."

Hufflepuff asked worriedly: "But what if the children make a decision that is very harmful to the school, what should we do?"

As soon as these words came out, the other three founders fell silent at the same time. In the end, it was Salazar Slytherin who broke the silence.

"Even if that's the case, we shouldn't interfere. Helga, our lifespan is not eternal. Even if we prevent one or two wrong decisions, can we continue to prevent them? Will the children stop making mistakes after we all turn into dust? It's better to let them experience and grow while we are still alive. In this way, when we leave this world, they will become mature and reliable guys.

If you ask me, if Hogwarts falls into destruction without us, it can only mean that our education is a failure, just like those deformed livestock, destined to be eliminated."

Salazar's words made the people in the room fall into a longer silence. In the end, the three of them nodded and recognized Salazar's unpleasant words.

"That's it, let's make a deal. No matter what decision the principal makes next, we will not interfere?" Sarah looked around at the friends sitting around her.

"Okay, that's it!" Godric was the first to speak in agreement.

"I have no objection. Salazar is right." Rowena also expressed her attitude.

Although Helga didn't speak, she nodded, which was also considered as agreement.

A resolution was passed, and Helga never dreamed that she would actually encounter this resolution one day...

"But..." She was still a little hesitant - these are dark creatures, look at what they did to the child named Harry on the train! Should such things really appear near Hogwarts?

"Okay, Helga, just think of it as the Ministry of Magic finding us a few watchdogs.

And you have to believe in the children. Without us, haven't they maintained the normal operation of the school for a thousand years? And let the school develop and grow into the world's number one magic school. Besides, don't underestimate Dumbledore, he is a wizard who has comprehended the domain."

Helga raised her eyebrows: He can comprehend the domain without learning the flow of magic power. He is really a genius.

Her impression of Dumbledore has changed a little, but she still doesn't admit it.

"I guess he used something? Otherwise it's too outrageous." She muttered.

"He got the body of a false god by chance, and thus comprehended the domain."

"No wonder, but where did he get the body of the god?"

"That's another long topic."

While talking, the carriage of the two passed through the cast iron gate of Hogwarts. The two Dementors guarding the gate smelled a strong "human smell" from the passing carriage. The smell was so sweet that the two Dementors could not help but drift towards the inside of the iron gate.

Yes, the officials of the Ministry of Magic had issued an order not to allow them to enter Hogwarts, but you can't do anything about them standing on the edge of the iron gate to catch their breath, right?

Feeling the sudden drop in temperature in the carriage, Les laughed. He waved his hand, and the temperature in the carriage returned to normal.

After the carriage entered Hogwarts, the cast iron gate slowly closed. Outside the door, the remains of the two Dementors gradually turned into black smoke and dissipated.
