Eight hundred and sixtieth chapters magic name and contract

"Good evening, Professor Slughorn..."

Gently closing the wooden door of the office, Elena bowed gracefully, her eyes moving.

"Please allow me to introduce myself again, Teresa Apokalis - this is my magical name. I think a knowledgeable wizard like you must know that such a family does not exist in the magical world? I don't know why.

, in short, according to the tradition passed down a long time ago, when talking about important things, it is best for us wizards not to use our real names directly..."

Different from Severus Snape's slightly cold and messy Potions Professor's office, Horace Slughorn's office is obviously much more comfortable. There are several lounges in the warm room.

The kind of soft armchair in there.

In addition to the somewhat awkward and nervous Old Walrus, there was another wizard in the room.

"Well, that's it, right...Grandpa?"

Elena turned her head casually, smiled sweetly, and said sweetly.

The distance from the door to the armchair is roughly less than ten feet.

Before Elena could finish her words, the distance between her and the two old men was less than three feet, which is about one meter - within this range, even Albus Dumbledore could

will be threatened.

"In the last chapter of the New Testament, St. John uses the word 'apocalypse' to record and describe the coming of 'God' and the scene of the end of the world. Of course, these are not important at the moment, more importantly

The important thing is that in the tradition of our Apokalis family, using magic names not only represents negotiation, but also represents..."

Grindelwald shook his head helplessly and waved the wand in his hand slightly.

The next moment, the invisible magic protection spread quickly around like ripples, sealing the walls, ceiling, and doors in less than half a second. It was like a layer of transparent soap bubbles, flickering and disappearing.

.

But Horace Slughorn still made no move.

Perhaps for him, the huge difference in strength is enough for him to understand how to behave as decently as possible.

"...the most sincere invitation."

Elena took out a roll of parchment from her chest and handed it to Slughorn with a smile.

Regarding the content of this contract, "Otto Apokalis" should have explained it once before. Whether he was reasoning or reasoning calmly, at least judging from the current situation, the effect should be quite good.

In the warm room, Horace Slughorn shook his head with a wry smile, stretched out his hand and took the roll of parchment.

"I knew this would happen, I understand."

In fact, ever since he announced Elena's confinement that day, Slughorn had already begun to regret it that afternoon.

There are many problem students in Hogwarts. As an old man who has served in this castle for decades, Slughorn has never seen other professors punishing a student because of him.

Praise him for his courage.

And when this sentence also appeared in the mouth of the headmaster of Gryffindor House, it became even more unsettling.

Sure enough, just after noon today, Professor Otto Apokalis came to the door politely - the reason was to discuss magic combat skills, and the reward was the permission to use the magic stone that no one could refuse.

After several hours of unilateral devastation, Slughorn finally found an opportunity to declare his surrender.

If he had known that the legendary "Paracelsus" would protect his shortcomings in this way, even if the little ancestor of the witch roasted frog legs with flames in Potions class, Slughorn would probably have turned a blind eye.

Even if you let it go, it won’t be...

The eighty-year-old Potions Master slowly opened the parchment in his hand and browsed through the details he had just heard.

"Dear Mr. Horace E.F. Slughorn, we are very pleased to inform you that you have been approved to teach at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry - Academy City Area. You are currently temporarily responsible for the popularization of Potions. In the initial stage

The goal is to let some Muggle scholars understand the principles and composition of potions, and based on this conjecture, try new potion combination concepts..."

"As the special wizard aid of Hogwarts, your scope of authority and movement include..."

"Please be sure to note that not disclosing the specific content of this contract is also part of the contract. If an accident occurs due to your personal subjective or partial subjective reasons, Hogwarts, Destiny Group, and Gringotts have the right to pursue subsequent liability.

"

Destiny Group, Gringotts Wizarding Bank... Slughorn's eyes widened slightly and he sighed again.

As a wizard who is always paying attention to the latest trends in the magical world, he naturally knows the current power structure of Gringotts.

Since the "Dark Devil Scam", Gringotts Wizarding Bank has lost its previous completely independent status and introduced financing from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and the Austrian Destiny Group, becoming a mixed joint-stock system.

Almost at the same time, a report that left a deep impression on Slughorn flashed through his mind.

"...The Wizengamot Tribunal and the Ministry of Magic ruled that the Lestrange family was suspected of collaborating with the Death Eater Peter Pettigrew to illegally steal the public wealth of the wizarding world, and all their wealth in the vault of Gringotts Wizarding Bank was confiscated and returned

Go to the victims..."

At that time, I was just a little sad, lamenting the decline of an ancient magic family.

But now when Slughorn saw this roll of parchment, his heart suddenly became cold.

Slughorn finally realized the uneasiness he felt when he saw the report - the long-standing wealth and accumulation barriers of the wizarding society had collapsed and collapsed unknowingly, all of which were maintained in Hogwarts and the justice of the Destiny Group.

above.

Or to be more precise, it is in the hands of a group of wizards whose faces cannot be seen clearly.

"Well, this...this contract, I think..."

Slughorn rubbed the edge of the parchment with his fingers and whispered solemnly.

"It is impossible for Muggles to understand the secrets contained in potions. There has never been such a precedent in the past many years. Moreover, even if they are external employees of Hogwarts, this is somewhat against the rules.

…”

"If you work in Academy City, you will be paid extra, and you will receive project incentive awards."

Elena smiled slightly, took out another contract and placed it in Slughorn's hand.

"Kaslana, oh no, Miss Apokalis, listen to me, this is not about money at all -"

"The starting salary is 250 gold galleons per month..."

"Potions are not as simple as you think. Muggle theories have no reference value..."

"500 gold galleons."

"What I mean is that apart from talking, they can't even complete the most basic potion brewing. This belongs to the category of magic. On the one hand, it can't be taught, and on the other hand, it doesn't make much sense...

"

"1,000 gold galleons, as well as a signing fee of 18,734 gold galleons, 8,342 silver sikols, and 579 copper nat."

"...Okay, I understand, I will try my best to give it a try."

Horace Slughorn's cheek twitched.

Do you think you can buy the dignity of a Potions Master with money?
