The Good Days Were Gone Forever

As for whether strictly enforcing School Rules will affect my younger sister's playtime?

You can rest assured about that.

As the saying goes, "If you don't get caught, you haven't broken the School Rules," and Bell has a lot of confidence in his younger sister's abilities!

"What Board of Directors requirements? I think it's more like your requirements."

Snape thought to himself.

Of course, he would never say such a thing.

Are you kidding me? They can even take away a terrifying being Dumbledore, so dealing with him would be a piece of cake.

He hasn't even sat in the principal's chair yet, and he's not willing to just die like this.

"Understood, leave it to me."

In fact, the two requests made by Bell were exactly what Snape wanted, so he readily agreed.

He also didn't want any shady characters near Lily's son. He especially didn't want to see Harry's face, which resembled that bastard James's, with a smug expression!

By now, he had basically given up hope on Harry's stupid brain, which he inherited from James.

So be it, Harry is just a piece of trash. As long as he can live out his life peacefully, he'll be content.

the next day.

One wave subsides only for another to rise.

Before they could recover from the shocking fact that the Dark Lord had died and come back to life, and that he might come back to life again, the wizards were once again plunged into shock by a piece of news published in the Daily Prophet's morning news.

Was Dumbledore expelled from Hogwarts?

What a joke!

Many parents have expressed serious dissatisfaction with this foolish decision by the Hogwarts Board of Governors.

But when faced with the reasons that the Board of Directors subsequently offered, everyone was speechless.

Having a Death Eater infiltrate Hogwarts for nearly a year, Dumbledore, as the Hogwarts Headmaster, bears undeniable responsibility, regardless of the circumstances. This cannot be excused.

Therefore, even if they were unhappy, everyone could only reluctantly accept this established fact.

After all, at this time, people's energy is mostly focused on the Dark Lord incident, and they don't have the spare energy to care about trivial matters like "Hogwarts changing headmasters".

Unlike the outside world, when the Little Wizard at Hogwarts learned of this news, they were all dumbfounded.

Compared to Dumbledore being removed from his position as headmaster, the previous incident with the Dark Lord was nothing! They weren't even acquainted with the Dark Lord.

And most importantly, even if Dumbledore were to step down as headmaster, wouldn't Professor McGonagall, who is the vice-headmaster, be the one to take over the position?

It shouldn't be Snape's turn at all!

Therefore, there's only one truth! This message is fake!

The Daily Prophet is really something. It's the largest newspaper in the British Wizarding World, after all. They should at least verify the authenticity of the news before reporting it.

It's already the 20th century, how can we still make such a basic mistake?

Haha! Haha, ha...

So why isn't today April Fools' Day?!

Good heavens, just as breakfast was about to end and Dumbledore and Snape walked into the Great Hall together; just as Dumbledore publicly announced his resignation as headmaster and that Snape would succeed him; just as Snape sat beaming in the very center of the professors' seat, the seat that should have belonged to Dumbledore.

The Little Wizard felt as if the sky had fallen...

Apart from a few snakes in Slytherin who cheered excitedly, everyone from the other three houses looked as if they had eaten... excrement.

Their expressions of struggle and despair are so intense that each of them could be considered a meme.

Ignoring the objections of the crowd, Snape then delivered a passionate speech.

This was something he had carefully prepared all night long, without sleeping a wink.

To summarize simply:

"You little rascals, your good days are over!"

Cough cough!

Of course, Snape's speech wouldn't actually be like that; he still had to be mindful of his image.

But whatever Snape said, the Little Wizard could summarize it with the sentence above.

Didn't you see that the trio of Harry, Memphis, and Harry already had expressions of utter despair?

Bell strongly suspected that if Dumbledore gave the order at this moment, many Little Wizard would rise up without hesitation and crush Snape, that evil man.

"Bell, why Snape? Why not Professor McGonagall?"

Hermione only learned about this news this morning.

She expressed that she was very unhappy about this.

You know, if Hermione were to choose the person she dislikes the most from among everyone at Hogwarts, she wouldn't hesitate for a second and would definitely choose Snape.

She always respected professors, but the only time she didn't use the word "professor" when addressing Snape showed how much she disliked Snape.

If Hermione were to choose her favorite person... cough cough, besides Bell, she would choose Professor McGonagall without hesitation for even a second.

So, for Hermione, the current situation is that the person she hates most has taken the headmaster position from the person she likes the second most... How can she be happy about that? Even breakfast doesn't taste good anymore!

"Of course it's because Professor McGonagall isn't suitable."

Bell responded without looking up.

Besides Professor McGonagall being Dumbledore, another important reason why he chose Snape to succeed him as headmaster was that Dumbledore was more accepting of Snape than Professor McGonagall.

Indeed, Professor McGonagall was more obedient to Dumbledore than Snape, who was a traitor.

But there is one thing Professor McGonagall absolutely cannot match Snape for: the degree of importance she places on Harry.

Professor McGonagall certainly valued Harry, but that was only because Harry was a student at Hogwarts.

To the old professor, Harry was nothing special compared to the other students.

Besides being more inclined to cause trouble...

Snape, on the other hand, was completely different.

For Snape, Harry was the continuation of the life of the woman he loved most in his life. Therefore, in crucial moments, he was even willing to give his own life to exchange for Harry's.

As for the other students, Snape didn't pay them as much attention.

Even though Voldemort's resurrection attempt had failed, Dumbledore knew very well that Voldemort was not truly dead.

Therefore, Harry's safety remains of utmost importance, and he will not allow anything to happen to Harry.

In conclusion, in Dumbledore's mind, the best successor was not Professor McGonagall, but rather Snape.

"Can..."

"Alright, Hermione, let the adults worry about these adult matters. Come and try this bacon and egg, it's delicious."

Interrupting Hermione's incessant chatter, Bell fed Hermione a piece of bacon and egg, silencing her.
