Chapter 1656 A war without a winner (one hundred and eight)
Chapter 1658 A war without a winner (one hundred and eight)
September 1st.
Hogwarts freshman orientation day is also Albert's first official job after graduating from school.
Why do you say first job?
For serving as a senior advisor to Kingsley, Albert would forfeit a galleon.
Probably for this reason, Professor McGonagall learned from Kingsley's lesson and put some money in Albert's pocket, hoping that he would be more serious when teaching students this semester, instead of acting like a senior consultant.
, it’s just a title, whether you teach students or not depends on your mood.
It's hard for Kingsley to say anything. After all, they don't charge you a penny. It's your own request to hang a title. "What do you have to be dissatisfied with? It would be nice to hang a title here." things like that happen.
.
Today is the freshman banquet, so it’s natural for Albert to be absent, otherwise he would have gone too far.
However, a lazy person like Albert was undoubtedly too lazy to take the train to school. He directly asked the house elf to take him to Apparition to the Defense Against the Dark Arts office.
Professor McGonagall had obviously asked the house elves to clean it, but he had no intention of living in the school dormitory.
With a wife, daughter and sister-in-law at home, Albert naturally did not want to live in the school dormitory, and he was not here to suffer.
However, not being able to apparate at Hogwarts is really a bit troublesome for him, and having a house elf pick him up and drop him off every day is not an option.
Ask Professor McGonagall to secretly open a back door?
To be honest, Albert doubted whether Professor McGonagall could use his authority as principal to secretly open a backdoor for himself like Dumbledore did.
Even if you can do that, it's not a good choice.
It is a good choice to connect the fireplace in your office to the outside.
Naturally, it was impossible to connect directly to his home, so he needed to find another place to serve as a transfer station.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door of the room.
Albert put down his suitcase, walked over and opened the door, and looked at the acquaintance standing outside the door quite unexpectedly.
"Cedric, what brings you here?"
"Aha, it seems that I won the bet, so I said you will definitely arrive at Hogwarts on time."
After seeing Albert, this guy smiled and was ready to step forward and give him a hug.
"Who did you bet with?"
Albert quickly took a step back and invited Cedric into the room, causing the other party's embrace to fail.
"Hagrid."
Cedric said without thinking: "He seems to have gotten a lot of good things recently, and he said he would give me some if I win."
"What good thing can Hagrid have?" Albert couldn't help rolling his eyes and said, "I guess it's most likely wine."
Cedric didn't answer that and walked into the office. After looking at the layout inside, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "I'm afraid it won't be too comfortable for you to live here?"
"It doesn't matter. I don't live here. I can at most use it to compile the "Defense Against the Dark Arts Guide". And it's very close to the library, so it's convenient to go there and borrow books."
Albert waved his magic wand, and the suitcase on the table automatically opened. Some commonly used items flew out of the suitcase and were automatically placed neatly on the table.
"It feels like you are not here to teach students, but to go through the process." Cedric couldn't help but complain.
The two walked out of the office together, and the wooden door behind them closed automatically, and the key to the door disappeared.
??????55.??????
"What you said is actually correct."
Albert did not deny it and went to the auditorium with Cedric.
At this moment, Professor Flitwick is getting familiar with the duties of the Vice Principal with the help of Professor McGonagall, and is sorting out the procedures for tonight.
It's funny to say that since Professor McGonagall was appointed as the principal, the position of deputy principal has been vacant, but no professor at Hogwarts is interested in this position.
Slughorn is already semi-retired. If Avalon hadn't been under construction, he might have resigned and gone to work for Albert as a potion consultant.
Although the salary may be a little less, my life is relaxed and happy, and I can still do the things I like.
As for the two deans, Pomona Sprout and Filius Flitwick, they are also not interested in the position of vice president. Especially Professor Sprout, who plans to retire from the school in a few years.
, so I didn’t want to increase my workload at all.
As a result, the position of Vice Headmaster finally fell on Professor Flitwick, who lived much longer than ordinary wizards.
Professor Flitwick wouldn't want to take over as Vice Headmaster at all if it wasn't for the purpose of avoiding embarrassment to his colleagues.
But there is no way, we can't leave the mess of Hogwarts to the new principal.
Principal McGonagall still needs a part-time transfiguration professor.
That's right, Professor Transfiguration couldn't find a suitable candidate, so Professor McGonagall had to take over.
"Oh, that's really annoying." Professor Flitwick looked up at the visitor and said, "Would you mind helping me share some of the work?"
"Happy to oblige."
Albert glanced at the parchment flying in front of him. They were all errands, such as going to the kitchen to make sure tonight's dinner was ready, and making sure the preparations for Hagrid's Thestral carriage to pick up students...
"I have something more suitable for you." Professor McGonagall stood up and greeted Albert: "Do you mind going out with me for a walk and checking the security measures around the school?"
"Oh, of course, no problem." Albert did not refuse.
Voldemort is dead, and the remaining Death Eaters will most likely not dare to come to Hogwarts to act recklessly, so Professor McGonagall must have other things to do with him.
After arriving at the Auditorium Castle, Professor McGonagall said straight to the point: "You should have noticed that Hogwarts is currently short of manpower."
"Can't you find a suitable professor?" Albert followed Professor McGonagall's words.
"Yes, the current situation is indeed not found. We are really pressed for time." Professor McGonagall does not have as many friends as Dumbledore. Although she has sought help from Kingsley, the Ministry of Magic itself is also short of people.
, there is no way to send someone to temporarily take over the position of Professor of Transfiguration.
"If possible, I hope you can return to Hogwarts and serve as the headmaster of Gryffindor." Professor McGonagall almost said that he would be the headmaster a few years ago.
"I'm sorry, Professor, I'm really not interested in being a professor, and next year I plan to take my whole family to travel around the world and gain experience."
Albert noticed Professor McGonagall's face twitching, but pretended not to notice and continued talking.
"If Hogwarts is really short of people, we can consider training Cedric to be the Transfiguration Professor. Then, let Harry Potter return to Hogwarts to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor. I believe Kingsley will not refuse.
, the Ministry of Magic does not lack an Auror in Harry Potter."
