Settle at Hogwarts
Chapter 241
Tabor had never doubted Abraxas' ability. At least in situations where direct combat was not required, Malfoy was still very reliable.
"You can take care of these things. I believe the person who can make Malfoy suffer in business is not born yet!"
Abraxas was not modest, and he was very satisfied with his operation.
"Tabor, speaking of which, the vice principal's job is very busy, isn't it?"
Tabor rolled his eyes at Abraxas: "How can you, the school director, not know about the situation at Hogwarts?"
Abraxas didn't care about Tabor's attitude, but he was a little regretful that after becoming the acting vice-principal, his friend obviously didn't have any free time to study potions.
However, after weighing it in his heart, Abraxas still felt that the future headmaster would obviously be more helpful to Malfoy than a simple potion master.
"Dumbledore's reputation is too high, and many pure-blood families feel threatened." Abraxas said in a low voice.
Tabor was not surprised, because after Dumbledore defeated Grindelwald, many wizards believed that he was the most powerful wizard of this century.
Even the Minister of Magic was interested in letting Dumbledore take over his position.
"It stands to reason that Dumbledore is also a pure-blood, and he should be on our side. However, he has shown his closeness to Muggles many times. Regarding the attitude of us Slytherin and Gryffindor, The difference is huge.”
Tabor didn't refute. People's hearts are biased. Dumbledore was from Gryffindor, so it was normal for him to give some preferential treatment to the juniors of this house.
Even he himself would subconsciously avoid deducting points when Slytherin made a mistake.
"Dumbledore is from Gryffindor."
Tubo stared at Abraxas. He felt that with Malfoy's shrewdness, he should be able to understand the meaning of his words.
"Indeed, that's why the board of directors doesn't want another Gryffindor vice-chancellor. In fact, we were more optimistic about Professor Slughorn at first. His qualifications and connections are enough for him to be promoted naturally."
Abraxas glanced at Slughorn, who was still at the door, greeting everyone with a smile.
"It's just that he refused. And he recommended you in front of the board of directors. Dumbledore surprisingly didn't object."
Tabor just listened quietly. He was sure that the board of directors must have something to ask for when they pushed him out.
"The board of directors means that Slytherin, at least the pure-blood students among them, must not be harmed anymore.
Many of them are the directors' own children, and most of the children of pure-blood families have a difficult time.Compared with those sponsorships, the safety of the heirs is more important. "
Tabor gave a helpless smile: "There are too many secrets in Hogwarts. Even if I have the authority of the vice principal, I can only ensure that the battle in the castle is stopped in time. You guys really gave me a problem." .”
"Don't worry, after what happened last semester. Those families will definitely warn their children. I think no students in Slytherin will take risks.
Speaking of which, can your alchemy be used to refine a batch of amulets?It doesn't have to be too powerful, just something sophisticated that allows you to feel the magic fluctuations in the castle and have enough time to rescue you. "
Tabor picked up a small cake, stuffed it into his mouth, and then asked curiously: "Is it possible that the board of directors is planning to give it to Slytherin?"
"Of course not. However, all twelve school directors must have children, and you can take care of the rest. My suggestion is to prepare more, either rent it out, or sell it to other wealthy families. "
"Then, not only can I gain favor, but I can also get Galleons, right?"
Tabor couldn't help but answer.
"of course."
Abraxas nodded in agreement. He didn't have much favorable impressions of those fellow directors.There is also competition between pure-blood families.
"Forget it, only give it to a few people. I still have to go to class, and there are too many to take care of. Tomorrow I will make a list and you can help me prepare the materials. The price of the finished product will also be left to you to discuss with those guys. "
Abraxas was not dissatisfied with Tabor's decision, but was very grateful for his trust.
"Of course, I will definitely help you fight for the best interests."
The conversation between the two did not avoid Eileen. In fact, anyone with some brains could see what they said today.
Pure-blood families occupy the vast majority of the resources in the magical world, and most of their family members hold high positions in the Ministry of Magic.
Dumbledore obviously did not favor pure bloods and did not give them more preferential treatment.
Most of the still prominent families hope to maintain their relatively aloof status, and naturally do not want such a person to dominate the family.
Obviously, Dumbledore's current strength and prestige have aroused the fear of many people.
Tabor even had some doubts as to whether the Voldemort in the original plot was a chess piece jointly launched by pure-blood families.
The banquet went smoothly, at least that's what most people thought.
When the two were walking back to Slytherin, Tabor suddenly stopped and looked at his cousin beside him.
"Eileen, is there a boy you like? It's not impossible for girls."
"No."
Erin's reaction was very calm.
Tabor hesitated for a moment before saying: "Then we can go to more banquets, and maybe we can meet a boy we like. Well, I rarely went out to socialize before, and that's why I don't have a wife at this time."
Erin blinked and suddenly asked: "The drugged kind?"
Tabor couldn't help but rub Eileen's hair vigorously: "To be honest, children of pure-blood nobles usually start attending banquets before entering school. Whether they are future partners or friends, they can get to know each other at the banquet. "
"But, I heard many seniors say that they want to be your girlfriend!"
Tabor glared at Erin: "I'm not interested in teacher-student romance. Tell me about you, what kind of relationship do you want to find in the future?"
"I don't know either, and I'm only 12 years old!"
Irene frowned in distress. She was not pretty, and her temper was not lovable.Even though I'm already in my second year, I still don't have any particularly close friends, let alone any close boys.
"Well, if you're looking for a partner, it's best to find a wizard. Among Muggles, most people can't accept marrying a witch."
Erin nodded obediently. Most of those mixed-bloods in Slytherin were inferior, she could see clearly.And through the exchanges between classmates, it was enough for Erin, who had never been in contact with Muggles, to have a bad impression of that group.
"You can take care of these things. I believe the person who can make Malfoy suffer in business is not born yet!"
Abraxas was not modest, and he was very satisfied with his operation.
