Chapter 1659 A War without a Winner (One Hundred and Nine)
Although Albert's proposal does sound like a joke, Cedric, as a former member of the Transfiguration Club, is not bad at all in Transfiguration. If he really can't find a suitable candidate, Principal McGonagall will not
I would like to invite Cedric to become Professor of Transfiguration, but I don't know if he is willing to work at Hogwarts.
As for Harry Potter, Principal McGonagall also wanted to believe that he had good attainments in defense against the dark arts. When Dumbledore's Army was first established, Harry had even taught other students, so he had some teaching experience.
However, now that Albert is a ready candidate, as long as he can be invited to stay in Hogwarts as a professor for a long time, it can be said that most of the mess in Hogwarts can be solved in one go, and he can even take over his position in the future.
There are candidates for the principal.
In fact, Kingsley once had a similar idea to Principal McGonagall. Unfortunately, he used many methods but failed to persuade Albert to join the Ministry of Magic.
This is also something that makes Professor McGonagall quite helpless. Even using the position of the principal of Hogwarts as bait does not seem to have any appeal to Albert.
Albert didn't intend to do this. No matter how hard she tried, it would be useless. Even if she was forced to stay, she would at most be a professor in name only at Hogwarts.
If Albert is unwilling, she should carefully consider the advice provided by Albert.
The two of them walked around the surrounding walls of the school and after confirming that there were no safety risks, they returned directly to the castle to rest and prepare for the upcoming welcome dinner for new students.
"Did you say something to Professor McGonagall?"
Not long after being informed of his seat as professor, Cedric pulled Albert to the corner of the hall, "She just asked me if I wanted to stay in school as a professor of transfiguration?"
"You have also noticed that Hogwarts is in short supply of professors."
"I know, but also..."
"Even Principal McGonagall had to serve as the professor of Transfiguration herself. Of course she couldn't wait to find a suitable candidate. I remember that you are very good at Transfiguration." Albert shrugged, saying that he was just giving a suggestion.
.
"If you are reluctant to give up your position in the Ministry of Magic, you can discuss with Kingsley to keep your position in the Ministry of Magic and then work at Hogwarts." Albert said in a joking tone, "I remember that the Ministry of Magic has always wanted to take over.
Reaching out to Hogwarts, now that this opportunity has come to their door, they will definitely not refuse it."
"This is not funny at all." Cedric glared at Albert, who didn't take it too seriously, "You know, I actually..."
"If you don't like it, you can completely refuse Principal McGonagall!" Albert reached out and patted Cedric's shoulder, "I won't force you, it's just a matter of multiple career choices in the future."
"You guy!"
Cedric had nothing to do with Albert and didn't want to discuss the matter with him anymore.
Time passed quickly during the chat, and the ceiling of the auditorium was completely plunged into darkness. Thousands of candles were lit together with the waving of the wand, and the ceiling above the head also turned into a beautiful sight under Slughorn's wand.
The stars of the universe.
In addition to Hagrid, who needed to pick up the first-year wizard to cross the tiger, the professors from Hogwarts also gradually arrived.
The most amazing thing is that Cedric, who is the assistant coach of Defense Against Dark Arts, was actually assigned a seat and sat next to Albert, but he seemed a little nervous.
??????55.??????
Albert didn't have any problems in this area. He had participated in many large-scale activities during school and had no psychological problems at all.
At this moment, he was just chatting with Slughorn next to him about beauty potions, and by the way, he brought the topic to the dilemma encountered by Principal McGonagall.
"I remember you were familiar with Damocles, right?" Slughorn asked suddenly.
"It's not very familiar. I can only say that there are correspondences." Albert guessed Slughorn's intention and asked directly, "The principal plans to find Mr. Damocles to take your place?
"
"Yes, Damocles' potion level is very high, so he is a good choice, but he seems not interested in coming to Hogwarts to teach students. Do you have a suitable candidate there? I remember that you talked to many magicians.
The masters of medicine are all very familiar with it.”
Since receiving Albert's invitation, Slughorn had already planned to retire, but before McGonagall could find a suitable candidate, he couldn't just leave the mess to her.
"This... probably not. You know, guys with extraordinary talents tend to have weird tempers. They don't have the patience to teach students, and there are fewer people who are truly talented in potions than expected."
"That's such a pity. I remember Sprout is also looking for someone." Slughorn looked at Dean Hufflepuff next to him and said.
"Yes, but have I found a suitable candidate?" Professor Sprout was in a good mood.
"Neville Longbottom?" Albert guessed.
"Yes, it's Longbottom. His talent in herbal medicine is very good. I've talked to him about this before. Longbottom is indeed very interested in it." Professor Sprout nodded: "However, he is still here.
Working in the Ministry of Magic, you know, the Ministry of Magic is very short of Aurors now, so it will probably take a few more years. He agreed to come to Hogwarts to be an assistant for one year, and then he can take over my position."
"I don't want to die in office."
While a few people were talking, the old students of Hogwarts were already pouring into the auditorium.
At that moment, Albert felt countless eyes falling on him. He was forced to stop talking to Slughorn and raised his head to smile at the students below. This instantly caused a small-scale chaos. He even looked at
I saw many students waving towards the teacher's chair.
"You're still as popular as ever!"
Cedric knew that Albert actually didn't like this, and his mood suddenly became happy.
"I can actually feel Harry Potter's troubles now!" Albert sighed softly.
"I think it's pretty good,"
Slughorn winked at Albert, "I heard from an old friend that they have made you into a chocolate frog cartoon."
"Oh, what a surprise." Albert said calmly.
"You don't know?" Slughorn was quite surprised. "He also said he had interviewed you, which seems to be a lie."
"I've been so busy lately that I don't have time for interviews."
Albert doesn't care much about the chocolate frog picture. He has a wizard card himself, and he is not lacking in reputation now, especially after killing Voldemort with his own hands. The name Albert is destined to be followed by the second time.
