Drag Sister to Dominate Hogwarts

"Gift?"

Cassandra looked at the broomstick in Harry's hand and remembered that there was indeed a plot.

But isn't this what Professor McGonagall gave Harry?

"Harry, you thanked the wrong person, you should thank Professor McGonagall."

084 Second More Violent Quidditch

Cassandra doesn't take credit for someone else's work.

She didn't know the specific price of the Nimbus 2000, because Cassandra hadn't ridden a broom until now.

But this thing must not be cheap, and it may require half a year's salary of the professor.

After speaking, Cassandra glanced at Professor McGonagall.

However, to Cassandra's surprise, Professor McGonagall's expression was a little strange.

Many people were paying attention to Cassandra, and naturally followed Cassandra's gaze to Professor McGonagall.

This made Professor McGonagall even a little... flustered?

Harry looked over too, disappointed.

I thought this was a further manifestation of Cassandra's friendship with him, but it turned out that Professor McGonagall liked him?

But Professor McGonagall's words lifted Harry's spirits.

"Miss Malfoy, it's actually okay to admit it, no one will question the financial strength of the Malfoy family."

Cassandra looked at Professor McGonagall suspiciously, what does this have to do with financial resources?

Even if she really had the financial resources, she wouldn't just give someone such a precious thing casually.

"Professor, although I don't know why you said that, I will definitely admit what I did."

"It's not something I did. No matter whether it's good or bad, I will naturally not admit it."

Seeing Cassandra's indifferent and pure emerald eyes, Mag opened his mouth, then smiled stiffly and said, "That's really a strange thing, Harry, it must have been given to you by some mysterious person."

Harry was confused and didn't know why.

At this time, another owl flew over and threw a note into his arms.

He fixed his eyes and saw that it said: Do not open the package on the table.It contains your new broomstick Nimbus 2000, I don't want everyone to know you have a new broom, lest they all want it - Professor McGonagall.

"Uh……"

Maybe the owl was a little late, or maybe he and Ron were too quick.

They not only opened the package, let everyone know the existence of Nimbus 2000, but also confessed Professor McGonagall.

This wave, Professor McGonagall is suffering and can't tell.

Harry hurriedly hid the sticky note, and said falteringly, "I probably made a mistake."

After speaking, he rushed out of the lobby with the broom in his arms, leaving behind a group of people who didn't know what happened.

Cassandra also felt strange, but didn't think much about it.

I just thought it was Mag who didn't want to admit that he gave such an expensive gift to a student. After all, among Mag's labels, fairness was the most important one.

It may not be a good name for her to favor students too much.

So Cassandra took Hermione and planned to go to the lake to study.

She hadn't enjoyed the walks by the lake at Hogwarts yet.

Although it is now November and the weather has become cold, it is not a good time to take a walk by the lake.

But Draco looked at the Nimbus 2000 in Harry's hand and listened to the conversation between Cassandra and Professor McGonagall, a gleam seemed to flash in his eyes.

He keenly sensed that something was wrong, and this was also inseparable from the education Lucius had given him since he was a child.

So he found Snape and told Snape his doubts.

Snape told Draco to keep quiet, but how could Draco be obedient?

Although I don't know what Cassandra experienced in the principal's office that day, but the sister who was provoked was punished by suspension from school, and Draco did not easily forget this hatred.

He went straight back to the lounge and wrote a letter to his father, telling Lucius everything about today.

Cassandra knew nothing about these things.

Time soon came before the start of Quidditch, and all Hogwarts students came to their own exclusive stands.

Hermione still wanted to stay with Cassandra, but Cassandra drove her back to the Hogwarts stands.

"At least at this time, you have to stand with your academy, otherwise you will be looked down upon by the entire academy."

Cassandra herself may not care, but Hermione will still live in Hogwarts for several years.

She couldn't bear the isolation of everyone.

As soon as Hermione left, Draco approached him with a hey smile, and said, "Sister, it seems like you haven't realized that what happened in the morning is actually very interesting?"

"interesting?"

Cassandra naturally did not forget Professor McGonagall's embarrassment, but she did not realize the mystery.

Draco said enthusiastically, "The Nimbus [-] is not a cheap broom, and Harry had such a broom in his first appearance."

"Sister, guess what will happen if someone uses the school's money to buy Harry this broom?"

"Will Dumbledore be scolded by the school board for this?"

"I have already told our father what happened today."

Cassandra's mind flashed, and she immediately understood the logic.

Simply put, it is four words: public funds for private use.

The school Hogwarts is not the private property of someone.

Passed down to the present, the original four founders of Hogwarts have passed away long ago.

According to the agreement when the four people founded the school, the assets including Hogwarts Castle and the surrounding land will be inherited and supervised by the school board composed of 12 wizards.

The members of the school board need to be constantly selected and replaced. Like the previous Hogwarts principals, they only have the right to use Hogwarts assets but not to dispose of them.

They have the power to appoint and dismiss headmasters, and even have the power to decide whether to continue to run Hogwarts.

Of course, with so much power, the school board also has huge responsibilities.

The most straightforward and fundamental point is to ensure that Hogwarts has enough funds to continue to operate.

Students studying at Hogwarts do not need to pay any fees, they only need to purchase teaching materials and teaching aids by themselves.

Throughout Hogwarts' nearly thousand-year history, the school board has been responsible for financing this expense.

Even if the Ministry of Magic appeared in the last few hundred years and began to allocate funds to Hogwarts, the school board would only accept part of it, in order to keep the teaching philosophy of Hogwarts unchanged.

Even after the birth of the Ministry of Magic, how to fight against the Ministry of Magic and prevent Hogwarts from becoming an institution for cultivating loyal dogs under the command of the Ministry of Magic has become one of the most important issues of the school board.

Under such a harsh environment, Lucius Malfoy naturally became one of the important members of the school board.

Because the Malfoys are rich.

Lucius Malfoy is also happy to throw money into the school board, because Hogwarts can check and balance the growing power of the Ministry of Magic.

If the Ministry of Magic has too much power, one day it will get rid of the influence of the pure-blood family, and even attack the pure-blood family in turn.

After all, one of the biggest problems of the Ministry of Magic is lack of money.

One of the biggest advantages of a pure-blooded family is that they are rich.

Back to today's matter.

Under today's increasingly difficult conditions for running a school, if Hogwarts uses public funds for private use, it would be an act of buying Nimbus 2000 for a student.

It's as if in a hope primary school, someone embezzled public funds to buy a Maserati for his favorite first-grade pupil.

Even Maserati may not be able to match the status of the Nimbus 2000.

Will this send school board members' blood pressure soaring?

Will they find trouble with Dumbledore after their blood pressure soars?

Of course, Cassandra didn't think Professor McGonagall would use public funds for this kind of thing.

Most likely, she just broke out her enthusiasm for Quidditch when she was young, and personally paid for Harry, the most promising Seeker, to buy a Nimbus 2000, and she didn't want others to know that she did it.

"Sister, you are not worried about Professor McGonagall being punished, are you?"

Seeing that Cassandra was silent, Draco quickly said, "We are doing good for Hogwarts as a whole, and we haven't done anything bad, have we?"

"I'm just keen to report!"

"You're right." Cassandra smiled and patted Draco's head.

Although Draco belongs to public revenge, he still avenges Cassandra.

But his approach is polite.

From Harry's perspective, the Nimbus 2000 made him feel warm.

But from the perspective of others, this Nimbus 2000 is somewhat unacceptable.

Especially Gryffindor's opponent, Slytherin, especially the members of the Slytherin team.

Marcus Flint, the captain of the Slytherin Quidditch team, watched Harry holding the Nimbus 2000, and couldn't help but taunt: "Harry Potter, the famous savior, you plan to cheat defeat us in a way?"

Harry was stunned speechless.

This was the first time he was questioned so harshly after he came to Hogwarts.

Snape doesn't count, he's a big bat.

"Hopefully this Nimbus 2000 won't be broken after flying into the sky for a while. You won't fall from the sky and break your neck."

Marcus is not a nice guy, and his playing style is rude, otherwise he would not have become the captain of the Slytherin Quidditch team.

Naturally, Gryffindor would not allow Harry to be bullied. Captain Oliver Wood and the Weasley brothers immediately got together, ready to roll up their sleeves and fight at any time.

Fortunately, Professor Hodge stopped them, otherwise the Quidditch match might be over before it even started.
