HP: By the lake of Snake Garden, flowers bloom on the other side

Chapter 551 [Please support the genuine version of Tomato Novel, thank you for reading] Licorice

Beautiful wizard robes...

Snape thought about the meaning behind his daughter's words. He and Dumbledore were always worried that she would go astray.

Of all the faculty and staff at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Albus Dumbledore has the most beautiful wizard robe.

There were purples, blues, and so on, and numerous hats to match, and his wizard robes even had fine silk embroidery.

Perhaps another person with a beautiful magic robe is Gilderoy Lockhart from the second year - but it is obvious that Lycoris couldn't be talking about him, as he is still being treated at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries.

Licorice wants to be the principal?

Or does she want to be a white wizard like Dumbledore, with supreme glory?

It shouldn't be...

Licorice heard her father ask her, "Do you want to be crowned?"

Snape still remembered what she said to Malfoy in the corridor, "I see I am on the throne."

But it always feels like it’s not that simple, the English word she said is “Throne”, and that’s not a word you need to become the headmaster of Hogwarts.

As soon as these words came out, Licorice knew that he and Old Bee were indeed eavesdropping.

But Dad was talking about the word "coronation," a noun: coronation, investiture of royal power, the ceremony of enthronement of a monarch.

This is not what Licorice wants.

What he said clearly was "Throne", a noun: throne, royal seat, authority.

And the most important point is that Throne also has a verb meaning - to ascend the throne.

Licorice answered simply, "It's not a coronation."

Licorice found the subtle difference between the English word and what she wanted to express, just like the difference between "coronation" and "ascension" in Chinese.

Coronation is the placing of a crown on the head of a monarch, and this is mostly done by the Pope. No matter how good the monarch's position is, there is a Pope above him who uses divine authority to suppress him.

As for ascending the throne, it usually happens when the previous emperor dies, and the new emperor becomes the most important leader. As for the interference of relatives in politics and eunuchs' monopoly of power after ascending the throne, we will not talk about it for the time being.

Snape looked at his daughter, she said it was not a coronation, "What do you want to do in the future?"

Didn't fool around.

Dad asked again. There is a huge difference between a double agent and a pure-blood young master. Draco rarely asks this.

Licorice could only answer, she said, "Become the principal first."

This is not a lie. Only by taking one step at a time can you take steady steps.

Snape knew her little thoughts. If she became the headmaster "first", there would definitely be "later".

He did not expose her, but asked her, "Do you know how to become the headmaster of Hogwarts?"

"Appointed by the Ministry of Magic?" Lycoris answered uncertainly. Wasn't Umbridge appointed by Fudge?

Snape shook his head and said, "No, that would only be recognized by the Ministry of Magic. Hogwarts would not recognize it."

It seems so?

Lycoris thought of Umbridge, the headmaster, who was still in the Defense Against the Dark Arts office. She had not had the opportunity to enter the offices of successive Hogwarts headmasters, and later had not hung any paintings.

"The headmaster must personally acknowledge that his will is the key factor influencing Hogwarts." Snape continued, "There are also some ways to inherit the castle that only the headmaster himself knows."

Oh... so I have to get along well with Professor McGonagall?

I seem to have an okay relationship with Professor McGonagall? At least I'm good at Transfiguration.

Lycoris touched her nose when she thought of this, even though she had deducted points from Gryffindor as a prefect.

Is there a way to inherit the castle?

Lycoris thought of how Voldemort had appointed her father as headmaster, and in fact Dumbledore also acknowledged his identity as headmaster.

This was also planned. "Snape gained Dumbledore's trust and inherited the Hogwarts headmaster's legacy. He could enter the headmaster's office and change the entrance pass to the headmaster's office" - making the father look more outstanding and capable.

Old Bee and Dad are so good at scheming, no wonder Voldemort fell into the trap.

But Dad worked really hard. During his time as headmaster, not a single student was killed for opposing Voldemort's rule.

On the old bee's side, the price of being a headmaster is to protect students at all costs. On Voldemort's side, the price of being a headmaster is to manage Hogwarts to his satisfaction in addition to doing the things the Dark Lord tells him to do.

Licorice had a strange look in her eyes, but she, the daughter she had personally taught, couldn't even read her mind to see what she was thinking.

"Okay, Dad. I will satisfy Vice Principal McGonagall." Licorice nodded, "Let her acknowledge that I am the principal."

When Licorice left, she took with her a bunch of small flyers given by her father.

When she put these things on the table, Licorice felt more and more like filling out her college entrance examination application form.

"To become the headmaster of Hogwarts, you don't need to read so much, right?" Licorice also knew the personal resumes of some previous headmasters. There were almost no people like her father who had both the headmaster's endorsement and the appointment letter from the Ministry of Magic.

cellar.

Dumbledore lifted the Disillusionment Charm and walked out from the corner. "Do you believe she wants to be the headmaster?"

Snape hadn't even glanced at her just now, so Licorice had no idea that she had listened to her employment advice.

"Don't you believe she wants to be the headmaster?" Snape raised his eyes and looked at Dumbledore.

She thought that being the principal was just a step in her career plan.

"I would rather believe that she just wants to be the headmaster." Dumbledore looked at Snape meaningfully. He knew that Snape had thought of the same thing.

Dumbledore knew about the tricks that Lycoris was doing in Knockturn Alley while making a lot of money.

Borgin and Burke are the third party. He is very cunning and cherishes his life. He is a typical pure-blood Slytherin. Dumbledore cannot deal with him because he is fundamentally different from Voldemort. Of course, Dumbledore cannot win him over. There is no great benefit that can tempt him.

"Didn't you ask her to swear an oath?" Snape mentioned the incident that his daughter had mentioned, and poked the old bee lightly. "Do you need to call her back now so that you can make an 'unbreakable oath'? She should not have gone far."

"Severus, you know what I mean." Dumbledore sighed. There were some things he couldn't explain to him clearly.

"If you are willing, Headmaster, the next person coming to me for career consultation will be Draco Malfoy. Would you like to listen to him?" Snape knew that he would not listen. He came here just for Lycoris.

"It must be the inheritance of Malfoy Manor, or maybe something else." Dumbledore shook his head, "I won't listen."

Severus watched Dumbledore's retreating back and waited for Malfoy to come over.

Draco thought of what happened last time at the long table, "Dean, didn't I tell you last time? I want to be a Potions professor."
