Chapter 271 269. How to refuse?
Even though he had returned to the auditorium, Jon was still in a bout of self-doubt.
Of course he is not doubting his ability or anything, but let the uninformed people doubt that he is actually narcissistic, has he reached such a sought-after point?
The so-called letting him stay as a professor in Durmstrang actually meant that he wanted to change the hall and quit Hogwarts.
When Jon came back to his senses, the first thing Jon thought about was not whether he agreed or disagreed, but was it Grindelwald's own idea, or the result of his discussion with Dumbledore?
The second the question was raised, he gave himself an affirmative answer.
It is absolutely impossible for Dumbledore to decide on this matter without even discussing it with him. This must be Grindelwald's own opinion.
Then Jon began to think about the second question.
How should I refuse?
To be honest, even without elaborating, the conditions given by Grindelwald in the words just now are already generous enough.
Let him find himself at any time when he has problems with magic, almost as if he planned to teach Jon himself and accept him as a student.
It is not an ordinary teacher-student relationship, but more like the one that had a master-student inheritance earlier.
There is no doubt about Grindelwald's level. His strength is recognized by everyone in the magic world. If he is allowed to be a teacher, Jon will definitely learn a lot.
But Jon never considered staying in Durmstrang from beginning to end.
He is not a sophomore. He has stayed at Hogwarts enough, and he feels that he is ready to go to other better places to develop.
Jon will always remember that if Lily hadn't cut him off from Barty in the orphanage in time that summer, then he might still be a slave in Hogwarts castle, how could he be here now? achievement?
What's more, according to the inheritance of the master-student relationship, he already has a teacher, even if Slughorn has no way to teach him now, but this teacher-student relationship, Jon is absolutely not would voluntarily cut it off, even though Slughorn might not mind him finding another teacher for himself.
It's one thing to mind or not, but another to do it yourself.
But Grindelwald is obviously not so easy to talk to. This old man who almost really ruled the European magic world has unquestionable dominance.
He was not discussing with Jon just now, it was more like a personnel appointment, and Jon seemed to have no choice in such an appointment.
This undoubtedly gave Jon a headache, even when he faced those Death Eaters in the morning, he never gave him such a headache.
Back in the auditorium, the Hogwarts students were sitting on the long table Rozier arranged for them and chatting. They didn't know that they would stay in this school for a while, and they were comparing The difference between Durmstrang and Hogwarts.
"We are going to stay here for a while, and the subsequent voyage is temporarily canceled. Durmstrang will take over McGonagall to teach them and teach us magic knowledge until the situation in France on the side of Professor Dumbledore stabilizes. "
Jon didn't hide anything, and told the situation they were going to face later.
Neville and the others were all surprised by this.
"According to the headmaster of Durmstrang, there is no point for us to go now"
When Jon said this, it was obvious that he was thinking about something, but Neville and the others were all immersed in the news that they were going to stay in this school, so they didn't see it.
George said worriedly.
"But the students in this castle should not use English in class, right? We have language barriers."
Jon shook his head.
"Since Durmstrang is already prepared to keep us, there must be their arrangements for these matters. We definitely don't need to worry about teaching matters. What we are thinking now is how to deal with Deng Bu. Get in touch with Professor Lido and listen to what he has to say."
Jon felt that he didn't have the ability to refuse Grindelwald's intention, and Dumbledore had to come forward to solve this matter.
The students at Hogwarts have already started discussing about staying in Durmstrang.
They don't have any bad thoughts about this. They started going to sea in October before Halloween, and it has been four months since February. They have already spent enough time at sea, and now they can return to land with Hogwarts. To them, the famous magic school is also a novelty.
To put it bluntly, although Dumbledore and them have been using the name of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, these students have never attended classes in a serious and fixed place. A stable teaching place and Residence is a luxury for them.
And now even if this is someone else's school, they finally have a place to stay. What's even more pleasing is that they should be able to take flying lessons here, right?
Just as the Hogwarts students were exchanging these, a burst of chaotic footsteps began to sound outside the auditorium.
Durmstrang's students filed in from outside the door. At this time, the sky outside was completely dark. Because this magic school is located in the northernmost part of Europe, the days in winter are very short, and the early sun disappears. in the sky.
These students have obviously finished today's class, they walked into the auditorium talking, and at the same time cast curious eyes on the Hogwarts students.
Walking into the auditorium with the students, there are also professors from Durmstrang.
Their team of teachers is much more luxurious than that of Hogwarts in exile. Except for Rozier who met at the beginning, Johnson and the tall and thin wizard who greeted Jon and the others in front of the castle, there are about seven Eight teachers came to the long table on the high platform.
It's just that they just walked to the chair, but none of them intended to sit down.
Among these people, Jon saw at a glance one of them who was out of tune with the others, wearing a very modern suit and leather shoes.
This should be the Muggle Studies professor whom the lady in the portrait mentioned to them, and Grindelwald personally "invited" here.
He was chatting with a female teacher beside him. From the smiles that appeared from time to time, it could be seen that the two were having a good chat.
Well, how do you say that sentence?
Since you can't resist, you might as well enjoy it with your heart. This is probably the mentality of this Muggle studies professor now.
While Jon was observing Durmstrang's professor, Grindelwald also walked into the auditorium, and under the respectful eyes of everyone, sat on the main seat in the middle of the high platform.
After he took his seat, the other teachers and students of Durmstrang sat down together.
Damn, I made a mistake and lost nearly two hundred oceans, which messed up my mentality. I will write these first today, and the fourth update will be normal tomorrow.
