166: Employment Situation in the British Wizarding World
The quiet college life passed by in a hurry, the hot summer arrived, the mandrake had matured, Hermione, Ginny, and Madam Pomfrey all woke up from their petrified state. Ron and Harry finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Their papers on various subjects are finally available.
"Are you two too stupid?" Hermione felt helpless after hearing that her two friends initially suspected that Lockhart was the heir to the Chamber of Secrets. "My meaning has been expressed so clearly, but you still can't guess.
come out?"
"S!" Hermione pointed to her palm, "Selwyn!"
"No one can guess what you want to express," Ron spread his hands, "S might also be Slytherin."
Hermione was at a loss for words. She was still trying to escape from Bernie's pursuit. She didn't have time to think too much, so she could only write down this clue in a hurry, hoping that others would notice it.
However, her attention was immediately drawn away by Professor Lockhart mentioned by Harry and Ron.
When she heard that Professor Lockhart stayed to fight the basilisk alone to help them escape, Hermione was filled with excitement, "I knew it, I knew it! A perfect person like Professor Lockhart would never abandon her.
students!”
His posture is like that of a little star-struck fan.
Hermione, who had listened to the whole process, suddenly said, "I think Joel Taylor seems pretty good too."
"It's not bad," Ron replied, "After all, he has a Merlin Order of Merlin Level 3. I think he is not inferior to those senior students now, especially...Percy, in terms of combat ability, he is better than the nerd Percy.
Quite a few.”
I don't know what Percy thought when he heard his brother's comments.
As the end of the semester approaches, seventh-grade students have to suppress the sad thoughts of farewell and seriously review the upcoming (ultimate wizard exam), which is related to their job destination after graduation.
The employment situation in the British wizarding community is quite severe. The Ministry of Magic and Gringotts, as institutions that guarantee employment despite droughts and floods, can absorb nearly twenty Hogwarts graduates every year.
They have very strict requirements for graduates' OWL and two exams. They must get at least 3 O's before they can enter some Qingshui Yamen. What's more, such as the Legal Enforcement Department of the Ministry of Magic and the Cursebreaker of Gringotts.
Department, with generous remuneration and high status, they require at least 5 O's in grades, T and P grades, and strict entry assessment.
The two units absorb twenty students, and there are fifty or sixty students graduating from Hogwarts every year. Where do the remaining students go?
Diagon Alley.
This most famous commercial street in the British wizarding world is home to many businesses, including the Daily Prophet, Malfoy, Selwyn and other pure-blood family businesses, as well as sign shops and shops - such as Flourish and Blotts Bookstore and Borgin's.
The same is true for Bock stores, but the salaries provided by the latter are often very low. The weekly salary is only seven to eight galleons, which is only enough to maintain basic living. It is basically the choice for graduates.
These shop companies, plus multinational companies such as Nimbus and Sideswipe, can take over about 20 graduates every year. The remaining dozen or twenty people, except for some Muggle-born wizards who choose to return to the Muggle world to study and work,
Others will become unemployed in the competition.
Seventh-grade students have grown up. Although most of them have no clear plans for the future, they know very well what they will not do in the future. Students have to work harder before the exam in order to expect to get one more O and eliminate a large number of their peers.
The students in the other six grades are still young and do not know what it is like to be sad. The lower grade students have not yet seen the future clearly. They live in the present without any worries and squander all the review time left by their professors on the Quidditch pitch.
and the shores of the Black Lake.
The consequence of this is that when they saw the distributed test papers at the examination site, they were confused.
"I can't stand it anymore." After all the exams were over, Eddie's shoulders slumped as soon as he left the Potions exam room. "I definitely filled in the wrong ingredients for the potion. Narcissus petals and narcissus roots...damn it!"
"How did your exam go, Alan?" he asked his roommate, "Doesn't Snape, the old bat, not want us to have a good summer vacation? Are the questions so difficult?"
Allen's lips moved, and there was a bit of unbearable expression on his face, "I also... find it quite difficult."
"Eddie, do you dare to ask this?" Joel suddenly emerged from between the two of them and hooked a hand on one person's shoulder. "Alan will definitely tell you that the question is very difficult in order to make you feel better."
"Then when the results come out, you will find that he is still an O." Joel continued.
Allen's fair face turned red.
As the grades go up, the knowledge they learn becomes more and more complex, and the gap between them gradually widens in various subjects. Eddie is better at herbalism, Alan's talent in potions surprised even Snape, and Joel
and Sergey excel in Charms, Transfiguration, and Defense Against the Dark Arts. Very few people can excel in all subjects. Even monsters like Joel and Sergey often get E.
Eddie sighed, and Sergey, who had always been elusive, suddenly came to the three of them again and said, "It doesn't matter, you can steal the show in front of everyone tomorrow."
Eddie beamed when he heard that tomorrow morning they will face the Gryffindor Quidditch team. If nothing goes wrong, they will win the Quidditch Cup and bring this honor back to Ravenclaw Academy for the second time in a row.
After finishing the exam, Haylis was finally able to relax. Throughout the school year, she had been racing against time to acquire management knowledge and make up for the lost years. Now she could finally rest for a while. She took Joel to the dark side.
They sat by the lake all night. This was the rare time the two of them had alone together this semester. Most of the time, they could only communicate through a double-sided mirror.
The next morning, the Quidditch pitch was opened for the first time after being repaired by Director Lucius Malfoy. The seats were full, with more luxurious commentary seats, more spacious and comfortable seats, and the painted goals shone in the sun. Below the stands
There is also room for supporters of each college to hang banners.
"It seems that Mr. Malfoy has lost a lot of blood," Haylis touched the leather handrail between herself and Joel, "The ground repairs cannot be completed without several thousand Galleons."
"Where are you two now..." Joel asked.
"Haha," Haylis snorted coldly, "Of course they are incompatible with each other. That old and immortal Malfoy wants to bring down our Selwyn family, so of course we can't let him get his way."
The game has begun. Eddie is sitting in the middle and directing the overall situation. Under his command, the Ravenclaw team is slowly advancing forward like a sophisticated and huge steel machine. Every Ravenclaw player fulfills their responsibilities on this machine.
As a small part, they only need to implement the tactics in the training class, and their strong execution ability helps them make up for their lack of personal ability.
Although Gryffindor House has excellent personal strength and has star players like Harry Potter, its overall coordination is far from that of the Ravenclaw team. Qiu led the team with the help of the cover of the two batters.
Harry wandered around the place.
Her task is to hold Harry back. During the Mid-Autumn Festival in the Ravenclaw Quidditch team, due to the nature of the Seeker playing alone, her shortcomings are obvious. Her speed is obviously slower than Harry riding the Nimbus 2000.
For a moment, Qiu herself had no hope of snatching the Golden Snitch from Harry. As long as she delayed, her teammates would let Ravenclaw's lead continue to expand.
The execution of Qiu's strategy was very successful. Harry successfully caught the Golden Snitch when Gryffindor was 130 points behind. Coupled with the previous points difference, Ravenclaw House successfully won the Quidditch trophy again.
Qiu's hands were empty and happy when she dropped the broom, which was in sharp contrast to Harry who was holding the Golden Snitch but had a blank look on his face.
"Harry, you fly much better than me," Qiu was in a good mood, stepping on the new grass and took the initiative to chat with Harry, "It's a pity that my teammates are too strong."
Perhaps because this sentence sounded a bit sarcastic, Qiu quickly added, "I'm serious. Are you considering playing professional Quidditch after graduation?"
Harry was immersed in the frustration of failure, but he didn't expect that his opponent would still chat with him.
He paused, "I haven't thought about it yet...but thank you."
Qiu showed a gentle smile, but she immediately saw Cedric rushing down from the stands. He didn't even say goodbye to Harry, and went directly to find his hot boyfriend.
Harry looked at Qiu's back, his heart wavering, and the window paper seemed to have been torn.
Dumbledore didn't know that Harry was already having some adolescent troubles. He walked down the stands with a smile on his face, took the Quidditch trophy from Professor McGonagall, and handed it to Ravenclaw Quidditch.
Captain Roger Davis.
Caitlin Lauer applauded on the stage. In a week, she will leave Hogwarts and go to the Legal Enforcement Department of the British Ministry of Magic. Her resume is already glamorous enough. She is the prefect of Ravenclaw and the female prefect of Hogwarts.
President of the Student Union, she scored 11 O's in the OWL exam and was able to see her college holding the Quidditch trophy before she left. She has no regrets.
At the same time that Ravenclaw won the House Cup and the Quidditch Cup, a paper by Barbling, the ancient magic text professor, was published in the new issue of "Merlin Innovations", shocking the entire magic text world.
Professor Babling introduced the H?lsinge Runes in a simple and easy-to-understand manner. In her paper, she first used Joel's set of ancient books as an argument, and intercepted fragments to prove that Nordic wizards more than a thousand years ago were still using the H?lsinge Runes to record and magic.
Relevant texts, and then use the evidence to infer how the H?lsinge Runes text should be correctly guided. Finally, there is a comparative analysis of the H?lsinge Runes and other runes.
Joel wanted to laugh a little when he saw the draft.
That's it? He didn't use such a simple thesis structure in his previous undergraduate studies.
Although Professor Babling failed to analyze the full role of H?lsinge Runes in guiding magic at the end of the paper, it was enough to cause a stir in the ancient magic text research circle for a while, and even made Joel famous again.
Once, Professor Babling specifically mentioned the contribution of student Joel Taylor in providing text research materials in his acknowledgment.
