However, the Hogwarts headmaster did not raise his head to "look" at Eileen.
The old wizard continued to look down at his fingertips, calmly elaborating on his point of view.
"...The choice of guardians should avoid direct blood relations as much as possible, so as not to cause duplication and confuse the 'guardianship' scope of both parties."
"For example, Mr. 'Hermit' cannot serve as Miss Lovegood's Tarot guardian during her 'preparatory Major Arcana' period. However, as a member of the Major Arcana, you can entrust a member of equal standing with another guardian to assist in the 'guardianship work'."
"In my temporary thoughts, the powers and obligations of a Tarot guardian are very simple and clear: a veto power and unreserved teaching."
"In other words, before those three young ladies are promoted to the Major Arcana, all their decisions, whether they pass or not, and their responsibilities, all fall on the corresponding Major Arcana 'guardian'. Except for us, no one knows their preparatory Major Arcana identities."
Dumbledore paused for a few seconds, his gaze turning to the young blond wizard in the corner of the magical projection.
"Regarding this, I think it can be guaranteed by Mr. 'Hanged Man' and his subordinate wiB action team—"
No one can know the identity of the preparatory Major Arcana before formal promotion?
Xenophilius's eyes flickered as he glanced at Gilderoy Lockhart, who was nodding, and fell into thought.
Dumbledore's words just now were not difficult for him to understand.
If the "Tarot Society" were likened to a magazine社, then Luna, who has not yet been promoted to the Major Arcana, is equivalent to an intern reporter.
The publication of her internship manuscripts is entirely the responsibility of the "Tarot Guardian". Whether inside or outside the magazine社, all the documents everyone sees are ultimately in the name of the "Guardian". Before she is officially promoted to the Major Arcana, she is equivalent to a transparent person.
As one of the earliest veterans "tied" to the chariot, he certainly knew the reliability of Mr. 'Hanged Man' in terms of confidentiality.
Since the secret is personally guarded by the 'Hanged Man', unless there is a traitor among the Major Arcana, Luna will never be stained with any trouble.
Anyway, the number of opposing votes for promotion to the Major Arcana cannot be higher than two. If he firmly holds his own vote and pulls in any ally, Luna is likely to fail to advance successfully. This is equivalent to finding two top wizards as bodyguards and mentors for Luna.
However, there is still one problem...
"If I remember correctly, the originally scheduled guardian for the 'Preparatory High Priestess' was Mr. 'World', right?"
Xenophilius pondered for a few seconds, then frowned slightly, looking directly at Dumbledore's image in the air.
"Sorry, I don't mean any offense, but is Mr. 'World's current state really competent for the duties of a guardian? What I mean is, in terms of command naming, no matter how the actual decision-maker is concealed, there must be a traceable entity."
Concerning the safety of his own daughter, Mr. Lovegood would not care whether this would displease "World".
In any case, he must first ensure that even if Luna is abducted to Gringotts, there is a wizard of sufficient weight to take the blame.
"Uh, about this, if there is no suitable candidate, I can—"
Eileen smiled and raised her right hand, volunteering.
Not to mention that it was Luna's guardian qualification, but more importantly, the guardian certainly would not have a guardian.
If there are no unexpected developments, after the handling results for Luna, Hermione, and Hannah come out, then it will most likely be her turn.
Even if Dumbledore doesn't plan to use her as a knife now, once this regulation runs smoothly, it will eventually become a sure-win weapon to suppress her. Rather than waiting to be killed, it is better to jump out of the chessboard at the very beginning and become the guardian of some little wing.
Eileen would naturally not miss this chance to kill two birds with one stone.
In fact, the scene of Luna being ashamed and annoyed, yet helplessly obeying her teachings, had already begun to appear in her mind.
"Cough, dear Miss 'Fool', thank you for your help."
Dumbledore coughed lightly and said happily, interrupting Eileen's imagination.
"In fact, you see, there is another more suitable Major Arcana here, who can perfectly fulfill the role of 'Tarot Guardian' in terms of both life experience and strength. What's even more ingenious is that he is very proficient in Goblin language—"
"Are you talking about yourself? Or... Mr. 'Magician'?"
Eileen narrowed her eyes, her gaze lingering among the magical images of the Major Arcana members, and asked sweetly.
"Tower" Grindelwald naturally stood on her side;
"Hanged Man" Lockhart had just gotten what he wanted, and his qualifications and abilities were not enough to be Luna's mentor;
Then the only ones left present were Albus Dumbledore and Nicolas Flamel.
Eileen wanted to see who dared to snatch the harem from the third generation Dark Lord.
And who dares to harm young girls with Dumbledore, this heartless old radish.
You should know that the combination of these two charges is not something ordinary Major Arcana can bear.
"Cough, I'm too old, I don't have the energy to take care of children..."
Noticing the threatening meaning in Eileen's words, Nicolas Flamel coughed lightly and quickly cleared himself.
It's best not to get involved in the war between Dumbledore and the Dark Lord he cultivated.
Last time he interfered between Dumbledore and the Dark Lord he cultivated, he almost lost his life. This time he won't repeat the same mistake.
In Nicolas Flamel's view, it would be best if these few scourges could perish together, so that he could continue to return to his alchemy laboratory and be a homebody.
Thinking of this, the hundreds-year-old alchemist spread his hands somewhat tiredly and said with a helpless expression.
"Besides, my research here is also at a critical moment, and I really can't spare the energy to take on more tasks, so..."
"Well, I understand, Mr. 'Magician', please focus on your research progress."
Eileen replied happily, turning her head to look triumphantly at the old radish thousands of miles away.
"Dear Mr. 'Hierophant', I may have to additionally remind you that according to the 'preparatory' development plan—"
"——The same Major Arcana member must not serve as the guide for two or more preparatory Major Arcana. Mr. 'Magician' may not have the energy to serve as a guardian, but I am pleased to find that there is another Major Arcana who meets the conditions."
He raised his finger and gently tapped one of the silent magical images in front of him.
Magic flowed from his fingertips, lingering on one of the cards in a silent state.
"Before the start of the meeting, 'Empress' fully entrusted me to act as his proxy—therefore, I propose that 'Empress' and 'World' simultaneously serve as the Tarot guardians of Miss Luna Lovegood, the 'Preparatory High Priestess'. Does anyone have any different opinions on this?"
"Of course not, I think this is very good," Xenophilius said without hesitation.
Newt Scamander was a top wizard who had captured Grindelwald and could confront the Dark Lord head-on.
Not to mention, according to his understanding of that Mr. 'Empress', that person's gentleness in terms of personality, patience, consideration, and extreme fear of trouble is simply recognized as the first in the magical world. With such a dual guardian, Luna will obviously be much safer.
Perhaps, his daughter will one day become Eileen's shape, but at least not now.
...Newt?
Grindelwald pondered for a moment, and the expression of Newt Scamander after learning this news appeared in his mind.
A smile appeared on his wrinkled face, and he nodded happily.
"I agree too. Obviously, 'Empress' is very suitable to serve as the Tarot guardian of 'High Priestess'."
Dumbledore, Grindelwald, Lovegood, plus that vote that was entrusted by a wife-controlled person in his nineties, that's four votes.
Eileen quickly glanced at the "voting pattern" above. Even if she raised an objection, the best result would be a tie and a postponement—and most likely, "World's" vote would also stand on Dumbledore's side, after all, this would also reduce his workload.
"Okay, I think it's pretty good too—"
Eileen said calmly, a dangerous arc rising at the corner of her mouth.
"Then, respected Mr. 'Hierophant', have you forgotten—as the 'Fool', I am also an underage little witch. I wonder if you have any recommended 'guardians'? Did you consider this when you were expanding the 'preparatory Major Arcana' plan?"
"Oh, don't worry, about this, I have a proposal..."
Dumbledore said with a smile, an unconcealable smile flashing in his blue eyes.
"Given the special circumstances of Miss 'Fool', your 'guardian' should undertake supervision rather than guidance."
"Therefore, I suggest..."
The old wizard paused for a second or two, his gaze slowly sweeping over the few silent magical images in the air.
"Let 'High Priestess', 'Justice', and 'Chariot' serve as your 'Tarot guardians' together. On the one hand, this can serve as an assessment indicator for them on their growth path, and it also conforms to our interpretation of the system—of course, they only have supervisory power, not the right to sign."
"I agree!"
Hannah raised her hand excitedly.
At the same time, a hint of excitement flashed in the eyes of Hermione and Luna.
The two looked at each other subconsciously and raised their arms at the same time.
"I have no objection."
"Yeah, yeah, this is good!"
???
Eileen glanced at Hermione and the others, and the corner of her mouth twitched.
What are these stupid wings, who don't even have the right to vote, joining in on the fun for?!
Besides, in this kind of thing, as long as she, as the "Fool", doesn't agree, then no one can force her to accept it.
This ridiculous proposal of tying one's own hands to the extreme, if she hadn't been controlled by the Imperius Curse, how could she possibly...
"Oh, let's just leave it at that, it doesn't have any impact anyway—"
Eileen glanced at the Major Arcana around her who were preparing to watch the joke and said calmly.
Forget it, after all, these are her own wings, it's not embarrassing.
She'll remember this grudge first!
