That figure was very unfamiliar, and judging from the outline of the shadow, it was an adult male.
Hogwarts, resident pool, adult male characters.
It seems that there is only...
"Snape from Spider End Alley is here on an invitation. I won't excuse you for small talk. If you want to study the secrets of potions, I would be interested."
Severus Snape!!!
This time, the goods were not shipped at a guaranteed price, and the person who shipped the goods was not the great astrologer Trelawney. Tom felt that this was really incredible.
It feels like the sun is coming out from the west.
[Potion Science Talent +1]
Sure enough, Snape added Potions talent.
Tom's Potion Science talent is now 6 points, which is still within the category of extraordinary talent. The fifty rounds of drawing cards just now have reduced the number of magic stones he has to 27,000.
Tom was a little confused: Should he forcefully extract Lockhart? Lockhart probably couldn't give him any talent points, he could only give him a Forgetting Charm, which would be a huge loss. You know, Lockhart is in his hands now.
, it is very simple to learn the Forgetting Spell.
Tom also thought about when Lockhart taught him the Forgetting Curse and returned the memories he had stolen, and when he would let him go free - of course, he would use Lockhart to test the effectiveness of his learning of the Forgetting Curse.
Tom is still confused.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the office door. Tom turned into Lockhart and opened the door, only to find Dumbledore standing outside.
Seeing Tom, Dumbledore showed a smile that Tom couldn't see through: "Professor Lockhart, I didn't expect you to come today. I thought you would have to repair it for a few days."
Tom showed a standard Lockhart smile: "If I ask for leave again, you may have to deduct my salary."
Dumbledore showed a naughty smile: "This week is your paid vacation. When can you start teaching?"
To be honest, most people must have only one answer at this time: start as soon as possible, but Tom still hesitated, and finally asked Dumbledore for another week's leave. The reason was also very simple, he needed to find "teaching materials."
Although the new employee was summoned by the police on his first day and then asked for two weeks of paid leave, Dumbledore still showed great tolerance for Tom's transformation into Lockhart - not only did he approve
Tom asked for leave and even said that if necessary, he could help Tom catch those dangerous magical creatures.
However, he also hinted tactfully: Tom can't take any more leave. After all, the young wizards at Hogwarts have already had two weeks of self-study in Defense Against the Dark Arts.
After chatting for a while, Dumbledore took out a roll of parchment.
"Come, let's sign a contract and let you become the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts." Dumbledore smiled and seemed to be in a good mood.
Tom took the contract and read it carefully.
The title of the contract is: Letter of Appointment as Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts, and there is a line of small print below: Academic Year 1992-1993.
Tom looked at Dumbledore: Didn't you modify the contract? Is this acknowledgment that the new professor can only last for one year? Or is it considering the subsequent liquidated damages?
Dumbledore coughed twice: "This is just a probation period. If you want to continue teaching after one year, of course I welcome it..."
Tom:……
Then he continued to read.
There are very few restrictions on the professor in the contract, and there are no restrictions on the teaching content at all - you can even introduce black magic in class. The professor himself also has the authority to add and deduct points, but the points are added and deducted for each class.
There is a limit on the number. As a junior teacher, Tom can add up to ten points and deduct ten points for each class.
If there is no external interference, this should be the limit of the new professor.
Tom can also punish students with confinement, but he must write a written report to Dumbledore and the dean of the school where the student is located. In theory, these two people will not reject Tom's application for confinement.
Hogwarts will provide dormitories for professors, as well as free medical services at the school hospital. If you are injured on duty and go to St. Mungo's Hospital of Witchcraft and Wizardry during your tenure, the school will also reimburse the medical expenses.
It is worth mentioning that the monthly salary of professors is as high as 80 gold galleons - Dumbledore can offer Dobby a weekly salary of ten galleons, and he is even more generous to professors. It is said that deans like McGonagall
As a deputy principal, his monthly salary is as high as three digits, which is almost the salary ceiling in the magic world.
Tom read the contract carefully and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he cut his finger and put a bloody fingerprint on Party B.
The moment the contract was signed, Tom felt as if he had a subtle connection with Hogwarts.
And a message popped up in Tom’s system:
[Mission: Wandering in the world. Goal: Exploring the magical world
Four stages of progress: 8/8 Unlock your own office in Hogwarts
Mission reward: Five-star skill Legilimency clue]
Tom thought this reward was a bit interesting. He had completed check-ins in the Forbidden Forest, Hagrid's Hut and Spider's End before, and this time the office happened to become the eighth anchor point.
Tom received the mission reward and by the way took over the fifth stage of Worldly Wandering.
At this time, Dumbledore had already put away the contract and walked to the door of the office. But before leaving, he said something to Tom that made Tom's hair stand on end: "The ring is very beautiful."
Tom looked at his ring immediately after he left. Dumbledore didn't say that he hadn't realized yet: this ring might become his weakness.
So he took out his wand and tried to deform the ring, but found that the deformation spell was ineffective. Tom stood there, pondered for a while, and then found a small piece of gold, then flattened it and wrapped it around the ring. So the six-sided soul
The ring became a rough gold ring.
After finishing these chores, Tom had time to look at the so-called Legilimency clues.
Tom clicked on the clue, and it clearly stated that there are three ways to obtain the five-star skill Legilimency:
1.Learn from Snape.
2. Learn from Dumbledore.
3.Secret room.
Tom directly rejected the first two options. Just kidding! How can he go to learn from a teacher? Find Snape or Dumbledore, and then say: Professor, I want to learn Legilimency?
Stop making trouble. They will probably use Legilimency on you first. Learning this magic is as suspicious as an engineer trying to learn how to make a 2nm lithography machine.
Although this spell is not one of the three Unforgivable Curses, its oppressive power is not inferior to that of the Unforgivable Curses: the Death Curse takes people's lives, the Cruciatus Curse tortures people's bodies, and the Soul-Impering Curse twists people's bodies.
Will, while Legilimency is about prying into other people's privacy. For some people, certain memories are something they would rather die than let others pry into.
