The principal's posters looked at Cassandra in surprise, her unfriendliness was almost full.
"Second, if some seniors really can't correct their attitude towards me, then I will turn your hanging pictures to face the wall."
The principal's hanging picture is part of the operating mechanism of the principal's office. The characters in the hanging picture are much stronger than ordinary portraits, and can provide advice for the new principal to impart knowledge.
But it's just to provide rigid advice, after all, they are not real living people, it seems to be AI with personality tags.
So, Cassandra is not counting on reconciliation with the portraits, especially Phineas Nigellus Black and Armando Dippet.
"simply……"
"...Unreasonable!"
Sure enough, Phoenix and Armando screamed angrily again.
The result was that after a few seconds, they were turned towards the wall by Cassandra's magical hand, and they could no longer make unnecessary noises.
"It's much quieter that way."
Cassandra nodded in satisfaction, and then asked, "Who knows where Fox's food is?"
"In the second drawer from the top on the left hand side."
"Thank you, Mr. Principal."
It was a principal wearing a top hat who was speaking. He was a little flattered by Cassandra's thanks, and he quickly took off his top hat and nodded to Cassandra.
Such a good interaction also relieved the other portraits who were silent.
Cassandra is not crazy and difficult to get along with, is she?
Sure enough, it still smells bad to take two guys.
After adding food and water to Fox and stroking its head, Cassandra came behind the principal's desk.
Slowly sat on Dumbledore's seat.
There is no excitement as imagined, let alone the wild laughter after Xia Keshang took power.
The bulky chair was uncomfortable to sit on, and Cassandra struggled to lie on the backrest.
This has absolutely nothing to do with Cassandra being short!
She's only 13 and hasn't started developing yet!
Becoming the principal is a choice that Cassandra has to make in order to deal with the crisis, otherwise she will not be able to enter Hogwarts.
Sitting in the principal's position now, she was even a little confused.
Not knowing how to get started or what to do on a day-to-day basis as a principal.
Fortunately, Cassandra knew that Hogwarts was facing the biggest problem right now.
"Help me inform the deans of the four colleges, as well as the school trustees, I will meet them here."
Cassandra's voice fell, and several portraits of the headmaster led away.
The portraits can deliver messages in Hogwarts, which is one of the headmaster's authority.
However, other people in the school can also ask the portraits to do this, provided that the portraits are in a good mood and willing to pay attention to the little wizards or professors.
About 5 minutes later, a large group of people entered the principal's office.
The sixteen people were so densely packed that there was no place to sit for a while.
But it doesn't matter, Cassandra also stood up, so that everyone can have an efficient meeting.
Cassandra, who hates talking for 5 minutes, went straight to the point: "I want to hear your opinions on how to solve yesterday's incident."
Perhaps because it was too direct, no one answered.
"Ms. Principal," Professor McGonagall said first, "how is Luna's condition?"
Although Cassandra felt a little irritatingly weird for Professor McGonagall to call herself Ms. Principal, she still endured it.
In this case, a certain sense of distance is necessary.
"Her soul has stabilized, and the next step is to wait for the resurrection potion to be successfully configured."
This made Professor McGonagall laugh, and Snape breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone else showed expressions of relief.
Luna dead or alive, this is a pretty crucial question.
Determined how much damage Hogwarts suffered in yesterday's Death Eater attack.
It's a pity that Cassandra has a tense face, not wanting to make it so easy for everyone.
"Yesterday, the basilisk was unleashed with the intention of killing the entire Hogwarts student population."
"If it wasn't for this castle being strong enough and everyone handling it properly, I think you should understand the consequences."
"Once the basilisk enters Gryffindor, can anyone bear the consequences?"
Everyone fell silent again.
Cassandra's attitude determines the intensity with which she will deal with this matter.
Obviously, just like killing the basilisk yesterday, although Cassandra can no longer kill the dangerous elements in her eyes, she still wants to punish them with the greatest force.
"They may also be controlled by the Imperius Curse..."
Although Snape didn't want to argue with Cassandra, he had to speak for Harry Potter.
After all, Harry is Lily's son and has the same eyes as Lily.
It's a pity that Cassandra will not be persuaded by such reasons: "Have you already used Veritaserum on them? Even if it is used, it may not be effective, after all, Veritaserum can ensure that the effects of the Imperius Curse are eliminated? "
Snape still wanted to speak, after all he was a master of Potions here.
As a result, Lucius said first: "The effect of the Imperius Curse will be stronger than that of Veritaserum. I have experienced this before."
The words made the corners of Snape's mouth twitch.
Do you dare to do this kind of personal statement?
Do you really dare to do anything just to spoil your daughter?
Lucius looked at Snape helplessly.
The Malfoy family and Snape had a good relationship, but when it comes to the hatred of Cassandra and her friend who killed her daughter, Lucius can only express that we are not familiar with each other now.
With Lucius' testimony, Snape couldn't easily prove Harry and Lockhart's innocence.
All he could say was, "We can't send a professor and a student to the Ministry of Magic for trial, can we?"
"We must also consider the reputation of Hogwarts."
Several school managers looked at each other, thinking that what Snape said made sense.
After all, it is not affected much now, and making this matter a big deal will only give the Ministry of Magic an opportunity.
Cassandra was also keenly aware of the change in the attitude of the school directors, which annoyed her.
The identity of the principal allowed Cassandra to successfully kick Dumbledore out of Hogwarts, but in turn began to be restricted by the school managers.
But fortunately, now her opponent is only Snape, and the difficulty is simply two levels lower than that of fighting Dumbledore.
"No, I think this is the best moment to establish Hogwarts' prestige!"
"Defeating the basilisk and uncovering the Death Eaters, Hogwarts is united as one. Isn't this the best opportunity for publicity?"
"Don't forget, the entire wizarding world is now full of doubts about Hogwarts."
Although this voice of doubt was released by Cassandra herself in order to defeat Dumbledore.
166 1/3 Headmaster's authority
"But we lost Dumbledore."
Snape moved Dumbledore out again.
"The reason why Hogwarts is the safest school in the wizarding world is because Dumbledore is here."
"Now, you want us to admit that he failed, and Hogwarts is still the safest?"
"Are you going to keep Hogwarts safe?"
In order to protect Harry, Snape no longer cared about his friendship with Cassandra.
That was Lily's child, and he could die to protect Lily's child.
Although he also hated Harry very much and knew that what Harry had done before was unforgivable, but it was Lily's child after all.
Cassandra looked at Snape incredulously.
Although Cassandra knew for a long time that he would definitely defend Harry, she did not expect to reach this point.
"Professor Snape, do you think I can't protect Hogwarts?"
Snape looked at Cassandra frankly: "Obviously, you are no match for Dumbledore in terms of magic. Besides, even if you beat Dumbledore, how many people would trust you?"
"A 13-year-old girl..."
"Enough, Snape."
Lucius said angrily, "Snape, you mean it."
"Let's call Dumbledore back now and pretend nothing happened."
"No Basilisks, no Death Eaters, no casualties, nothing happened!"
"Even if you use lies and deception, do you want to maintain the illusion that Hogwarts is safe?"
Snape glanced at Lucius: "Lucius, we are all Slytherins, what's wrong with this?"
"There's only one basilisk, and this kind of thing won't happen again."
"Dumbledore wants to make another mistake, but he has no chance."
Lucius glared at Snape, who was not to be outdone.
Their noses were almost touching.
School managers, you look at me, and I look at you.
