This cup...
Sure is a cup.
"You damned beast!" Abufosi slammed the table, cursing Gellert with anger provoked by Vivi's words: "What on earth have you done?! Do you have the nerve to steal your sister's hard work? Damn you!"
And then, he seemed to recall something.
"Oh, that explains why Albus always liked wearing that Star Moon Robe," Abufosi said as if solving a mystery, "Turned out it was sent by Grindelwald—oh yes, I remember at the time Grindelwald seemed to have given Albus a lot of things. Besides the robe, he also shared a notebook with Al, which supposedly contained many powerful spells."
Vivi squinted her eyes.
Powerful magic?
"How to use fire magic, right?" she asked. "One of them is summoning several magical flames around the body to form a shield, which can also be combined with Mind Reading to determine if someone is friend or foe, right?"
"And another one, which is to summon a large area of flames, creating a path in the middle..."
What she mentioned were spells she had created out of boredom back then, one of which was Protego Gubraithian, and another was Fire God's Way.
Dumbledore's expression turned even more awkward as he pretended to be deeply interested in the patterns on the table, tracing them with his fingers.
"Exactly, yes, that's it!" Abufosi nodded quickly and said, "Back then, the two of them were like possessed, practicing in Godric's Hollow, even catching the Aurors' attention. But you know your brother's gift of gab, he seemed to have also used some Golden Galleons to divert the Aurors' attention."
Vivi's smile became gentler.
However, in her heart, she was bleeding.
He used all my money!!!
That wastrel!
If I had known you were such a wastrel, I would have burned you to ashes back in Nimongard.
Harry, of course, knew that when Vivi made this expression, it meant her mood wasn't great.
He quickly grabbed Vivi's hand, softly saying: "Your own brother, your own brother..."
It would have been better if he hadn't comforted her; the comfort only made Vivi feel even more irritated.
Great, so just because we're siblings, you think it's okay to rip off your sister, huh?
"So, I absolutely cannot allow Grindelwald to remain at Hogwarts!" Abufosi added again.
Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly awkward, Newt suddenly raised his hand with his head down.
"However, I have a suggestion," he said.
"Go ahead," Dumbledore said as if seeing a savior.
"There's not much time left in this school semester, so I think it's better not to change the staff," Newt quickly said. "Perhaps Abufosi can also come to me, since he's uneasy about Grindelwald anyway; let him monitor him—"
"At the end of this semester, Gael will return to Nimongard," Vivi stated decisively.
Abufosi nodded and said: "I can accept those terms, and besides... I've heard that the Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts is also a Saint?"
"Uh." Dumbledore suddenly said, somewhat awkwardly, "We've recently received numerous complaints from parents, saying they absolutely won't allow a Dark Wizard to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts, so... Lady Vida Rozier is already preparing to resign."
"Setting aside her identity as a Saint, having her as a Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts is actually quite good," Newt said with his head down. "At least the students at Hogwarts all like her right now, and I can't imagine how difficult it will be for next semester's Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher to earn the students' favor."
Everyone present, except for Abufosi, thought about it briefly and then collectively mourned for next year's professor.
"This ending is actually not bad," Abufosi snorted. "I've heard that Voldemort cursed this position, and if I remember correctly, ever since he cursed it, few Defense Against the Dark Arts professors could leave safely, so being merely reported isn't hard to accept."
At this moment, far away in Nimongard, Vida suddenly fell down the stairs, her bones making a crunching sound.
But this event, of course, was unknown to those in the Headmaster's Office.
"And you, Newt?" Abufosi looked at Newt: "I remember that you don't like working the most, so why come to Hogwarts?"
"Because of my aunt," Newt sighed and said, "My aunt's health isn't great, so I need to stay at Hogwarts to take care of her."
This was the excuse he came up with, some matters he didn't plan to discuss in front of Harry and Abufosi.
Actually, Newt had long not wanted to work at Hogwarts; just like when Dumbledore acted as a substitute for the Defense Against the Dark Arts, Newt's Boggart showed that his biggest fear was going to work.
To make him a professor at Hogwarts was more painful than killing him.
But the issue arises, that his aunt is clearly more important than being tormented by work. If he could bring happiness to his aunt, Newt would rather teach at Hogwarts.
This is also why he temporarily let go of the feud with Gellert, because there are more important matters.
If it weren't for this reason, he might have already gone to the United States to investigate the Magical Creatures incident.
