Something happened to the student. Although it was not fatal, unlike the loss of life fifty years ago, she did not have much time left after a large amount of her vitality was sucked away.
Although the Schaffer family is not considered the Holy Twenty-Eight, her fathers are also officials of the Ministry of Magic, and they are currently filing lawsuits at the Ministry of Magic.
Someone has to be responsible for things, right?
As the principal, he was originally in charge, but it happened that Dumbledore was dismissed at this time. Not only was he dismissed, he was also taken away and left Hogwarts.
Everyone is gone, and he is still in the process of being dismissed from office. He can't be held responsible for what happened at this time, right?
Besides, he settled the matter as soon as he came back, so you can't blame him either emotionally or rationally.
Then someone else has to take the blame.
Wasn't Lucius jumping up and down before? Wasn't he the one who proposed and organized the removal of Dumbledore? Wasn't he the one who put pressure on the Ministry of Magic?
Then he is the best person in charge of this incident.
The school directors are eager to shirk the blame, the Ministry of Magic is eager to appease the Schaffer family, and the Wizengamot wants to maintain their public image.
As a result, Lucius was removed from his position as school director.
"Weishaupt family?" Lucius had a look of astonishment on his face.
'The Schaffer family? Shouldn't it be Weasley? '
Fortunately, Lucius wasn't really stupid and didn't say this. Otherwise, he wouldn't have just lost his position as school director. The crime of murdering an underage wizard with a black magic item was enough to send him to Azka. Ben stayed.
"Lucius, if I were you, I would just stay at home and wait for the Ministry of Magic to come."
"I hope you had a good time in the Wizengamot."
Baal finally sent Dumbledore to the Wizengamot after a lot of effort, but the other party didn't say anything about it and sent him there with a backhand.
Stealing the chicken is not a good example of losing the rice.
The Wizengamot inevitably spent another fortune this time.
Lucius's already long face became elongated again.
"I want to see what you are going to do without my financial support." Lucius said angrily. Now he can only say harsh words and can do nothing else.
As Carlo said, he also had to face investigations from both the Ministry of Magic and the Wizengamot.
Among the twelve school directors of Hogwarts, the Malfoy family has always been the largest investor, so they can securely occupy the position of No. 1 school director.
Had he not failed to invest in Voldemort, causing the Malfoy family to suffer heavy losses and severely weakened their vitality, he would not have been removed even if he made a mistake in judgment this time.
"I think the new school director is not short of money."
Carlo continued what Lucius said.
Said to be the largest investment, it is actually only three thousand galleons per year. For ordinary wizarding families, it is an astronomical figure, but for the truly wealthy people in the wizarding world, uh, it is also a huge sum.
That's a full three thousand galleons!
It takes a young wizard born in a Muggle family thirty years to redeem enough, and a Muggle wizard can only redeem it for seven years in his life.
"Oh? It seems that you have found a new school director? Tell me quickly and let me know which family he is from."
Lucius stared at Carlo with burning eyes.
He was deposed on the front foot, and someone was on the back foot. Not to mention that it was premeditated, even if he was beaten to death, he would not be believed.
Carlo didn't mean to hide it, and gently spit out a name.
"Dursley"
"What?"
Lucius seemed not to hear clearly, his eyes widened with disbelief on his face.
"It's Mr. Dursley."
Carlo emphasized again, looking at Lucius with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
Malfoy, who is said to be the shrewdest, is still here today.
Once upon a time, Lucius was Carlo's idol. He was elegant, noble, and the elite of the elite among pure-blood wizards. He was a role model for him to learn from. He almost grew up listening to his stories.
Back then, Lucius could make all the senior officials of the Ministry of Magic spin around like headless chickens with just one sentence.
During the period of the Dark Lord, although Lucius was not the first pure-blood investor, his timing was definitely the best among the pure-bloods. The moment he climbed the big tree, he became a high-ranking member of the Death Eaters. He gained that person's trust and even became his right-hand man.
Now it's just like this
Senior Lucius, your time has passed, now it belongs to our young people.
My vision is stronger than yours.
"Dear brothers and sisters of Hogwarts."
"Let us cheer for Mr. Dursley to become a school governor."
As Carlo took the lead in applause, thunderous applause immediately erupted from the Slytherin table, followed closely by Hufflepuff, followed by Ravenclaw and Gryffindor.
The entire restaurant was filled with applause.
As the protagonist, Dudley stood up at this time, smiled and nodded around, then raised his hand slightly, and the applause immediately disappeared.
This influence in Hogwarts is even stronger than Dumbledore.
Dumbledore sat on the principal's seat, squinting at Dudley below, his eyes full of smiles, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Snape's face was expressionless, but the corners of his eyes rose briefly, betraying his mood at this time.
Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout looked regretful that Dudley was not a student of their own college.
Lockhart. Lockhart is trying to reduce his presence.
In short, each professor's expression is different.
Dudley looked at Lucius, their eyes intertwined, causing Lucius to take a step back unconsciously: "I think Mr. Lucius can leave if he has nothing else to do. It's everyone's meal time now."
"Because your arrival has delayed everyone's time, the breakfast has already been cold. Students with weak stomachs may have a bad stomach."
This is a very obvious eviction order.
"Mr. Dursley is right, you have been delayed for a long time, and you are no longer a school governor, Mr. Lucius."
"If you still have something to talk to other professors about, please wait until everyone is finished eating and go to them as a parent."
Carlo emphasized the word 'parent'.
"You. You"
Lucius was so angry that his face turned red and his whole body was shaking. He pointed at Dudley and Carlo tremblingly and could not say a complete sentence for a long time.
Maybe if anyone stimulates him again, he will scream and spit blood from his mouth.
Lucius wanted to roar, but unfortunately it could only be incompetent rage.
He shook his sleeves vigorously and left the restaurant in embarrassment.
'My stupid father'
Looking at the back of his father who was leaving like a clown on the professor's chair, Draco shook his head slightly and couldn't help but think in his mind.
'Father, I told you not to go against Brother D, why didn't you listen? '
Why can't you see the current situation clearly at all?
Brother D's methods and abilities are far beyond what ordinary people can match. At this time, the most correct thing to do is to invest instead of going against him.
Unknowingly, the tall father figure Lucius had built up in Draco's heart since childhood was crumbling bit by bit.
Draco has now begun to think that if he were the head of the Malfoy family, he would be much better than his father, who couldn't understand anything.
You can't just watch the Malfoy family decline bit by bit at the hands of your father, right?
