HP: I just wanted to drop out of school, but I saved the world

Jian Yu's curiosity was soon answered.

Because the Defense Against the Dark Arts class was early the next morning.

Moreover, this course became a large class attended by the entire sixth grade, and the classroom was expanded several times in size.

But something strange happened soon -

As soon as Jian Yu entered the classroom, he found that Dumbledore was already sitting upright in the last row of the classroom.

He was wearing a silk robe with twinkling stars and moons on the smooth satin, and his beard looked like it had been specially trimmed.

She knew that it was a particularly expensive set of robes that belonged to her guardian, usually worn only on important occasions...

Somehow, he ended up wearing this outfit today.

When she gave him a puzzled look, Dumbledore turned his head slightly, not only did he not answer her doubts, but he avoided her sight.

However, Jian Yu quickly answered his own question:

Defense Against the Dark Arts is a course that requires emphasis on improving teaching quality, so it is reasonable for the principal to personally supervise the new professor's teaching methods.

Just like the compulsory education she had received in another world, there would often be course supervisors in the back of the classroom to audit the new professors' classes and give them grades.

After all, this was what Dumbledore himself emphasized to her - to improve the teaching level of this course.

She turned her body back and looked at the podium——

At some point, an old wizard appeared there.

He looked about the same age as Dumbledore, with silver hair and wrinkles all over his face. His chin was very neatly trimmed, without a lot of beard.

He seemed to attach great importance to this teaching position because he was dressed just as formally, with a brown-gray coat with a lapel, two rows of silver buttons, and a tie that was tied meticulously with a shining pattern.

At this moment, he was reading the student list with great interest, as if what was written on it were not the students' names but the four great classics.

In short, the two men's attire did not fit in with this simple classroom, as if they were two of the world's richest men who had strayed into the slums.

Jian Yu felt something indescribable strange.

Because the moment she turned her head, the new professor put down the list in his hand and gave her a meaningful expression.

She actually detected a hint of threat from the words, "Finally it's in my hands."

He didn't look away from her until all the students arrived and filled the classroom.

The old wizard's eyes swept across the classroom, and wherever his gaze touched, everyone immediately became silent, as if their mouths were gagged by a spell.

"Anton Vogel - former German Minister of Magic and President of the International Confederation of Wizards."

This seemed to be a perfect resume and self-introduction. The brilliant resume made all the sixth graders in the classroom look expectant.

Except for Jian Yu who was sitting stiffly in his seat!

As soon as she heard the name, her dusty memories were awakened almost instantly!

This is not a "senior professor who is on par with Dumbledore"...

It was clearly Gellert Grindelwald himself!

The old man she bumped into!

Now she finally understood:

Why did Dumbledore skip the introductions at the banquet...

Why are these two people wearing such fancy clothes as if they were attending a big ball...

Why did he keep looking at her with such a meaningful look!

"Looks very high-class." Daphne muttered, "Finally, a professor worth looking at has arrived."

But Jian Yu was too busy to respond to her good roommate's words...

She looked at Grindelwald, whose eyes said “see you again”, and then turned to look at her guardian——

I just felt my head spinning 180 degrees like a top...

A shocking emotion was tangled in her heart, filling her mind with chaotic gossip.

"It's really nice to see." She couldn't help but murmur, "But, Daphne, do you think Headmaster Dumbledore will mourn for me and Professor Scamander...?"

What happened to the promises that “many things are no longer taken so seriously”, “family ties are more important”, and “time and youth cannot be brought back”?

Can a man really step into the same river twice?

A good horse really does eat the grass it has returned to...

My guardian is really a liar!

Faced with the emotional outburst of her guardian who was over 110 years old, she thought she could only choose to respect and bless him.

"Sixth grade, a very energetic class of students." Vogel on the stage continued, "I watched your opening ceremony. Your performance was particularly outstanding compared to other grades. In particular, some students from some colleges amazed me--"

He once again cast an ambiguous look at Jian Yu, making her scalp tingle.

"I think you are the future of wizarding change—"

Jian Yu reasonably suspected that what followed was a sentence "a master at changing the wizarding world in the future."

His tone was gentle, but his meaning was passionate...

However, the principal's cough at the back of the classroom was even more intense than his meaning, interrupting his speech directly.

"——The rising star of the wizarding world in the future." Professor Vogel grinned slightly.

After completing his remaining words, he continued:

"I came here to seek some changes. I will teach you some black magic—"

His voice paused for a moment, and Jian Yu heard the familiar heart-wrenching dry cough again coming from the back of the classroom.

The old wizard on the stage suddenly showed a happy and cunning look in his eyes, as if such a reaction successfully pleased him.

"—and how to deal with them, but that's not the point of this lesson."

He bent down slightly, took out a pale skull from under the podium, and placed it on the table as if it were some kind of work of art.

He pretended that he didn't know Jian Yu at all, and cast an inquiring look at the audience, with a slight curve at the corner of his mouth:

"I just looked through the roster and heard that there is a student named Jade Jane sitting here—"

"She is the most valued child adopted by the headmaster of this magic school. Do you know who she is?"

In an instant, all the sixth graders turned their eyes to Jian Yu, causing her entire back to stiffen.

Grindelwald turned his head and showed her his teeth. He picked up the skull and looked at Jian Yu with a shark-like smile:

"Ah, so you are Miss Jane. Please come forward and stand in front of the podium and hold it."

Jian Yu's hair stood on end for a moment!

She suddenly remembered all the good things she had done, such as the dragon charge, the Horcrux potion, and the Niffler warming...

Thinking of the conversation that had once led to the misfortune, the person who claimed to be Scamander concealed his identity...

And the thorough parent-child relationship exposed...

She instantly felt that the skull was her future!

At this moment, she just wanted to ask one question:

If she said now that she was not Dumbledore's favorite student at all -

is there time?
