Promotion and salary increase start at Hogwarts

"Arabella Figg is a strange old lady. Her original surname was Perkins and she was born into a wizarding family. But unfortunately she was a squib. In her day, wizards still had serious discrimination against squibs. Although her younger brother and

Her parents treated her very well, but she still chose to stay away from magic and marry a Muggle named Figg. Not long after her marriage, the Muggle went to participate in the Muggle war and died, and Arabella Figg also died.

She has never remarried and has been living in her Muggle husband's house. Because her fireplace is not connected to the Floo network, we have to visit her in the Muggle way."

Bertha Jorkins said to Luo Cheng that not long after poor Luo Cheng took the subway to get to the Ministry of Magic, he had to continue taking the subway to Arabella Figg, and he had to take the subway all morning.

Luo Cheng had a headache due to the slightly polluted air in the London Underground.

"I see, so why does Mrs. Figg want someone to take over her position?"

"Because she is old, her relatives have always wanted her to go home. She had refused to go home before, but recently her brother suffered from back pain, and she probably wanted to take care of him. By the way, he

My younger brother is also an employee of the Ministry of Magic, Perkins of the Office for the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts, Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Ministry of Magic."

For Bertha Jorkins, there is nothing in the world that cannot be told. She has a very good memory and has no sense of confidentiality at all. If Fudge asks her to be the Director of the Information Department, then she will definitely disclose the information of the Ministry of Magic.

The secret was made known to everyone.

Bertha Jorkins quickly demonstrated the benefits of her superb memory. This guy was like a human map. She took Luo Cheng through various transfers in the subway. Luo Cheng was so confused that he only knew that he was out of the way.

After the subway station, we walked for another half an hour before we reached our destination.

This is a very ordinary English-style single-family house. You can smell the smell of cabbage before entering the house.

Bertha Jorkins rapped on the door.

"Arabella, it's me, Bertha Jorkins. I've found a good successor for you."

After a while, the sound of a cat meowing and the slow footsteps of people came from the house.

"Come on, come on, please forgive my slowness. I fell down last month."

The person inside opened the door.

Mrs. Figg appeared in front of them panting. Her gray and white hair spilled out of her hairnet, a jingling mesh bag hung from her wrist, and her feet were almost slipping out of her thick tartan slippers.

Out.

"I'm really sorry to keep you waiting for so long. Come in quickly."

Like the exterior of the house, the interior is also very old-fashioned. The mismatched chairs are covered with crochet covers, and there is a pungent cat smell in the air.

After inviting the two of them to sit down, Mrs. Figg wanted to pick up the dusty kettle on the table and pour water for them.

"No, Arabella," said Bertha Jorkins, smiling, "I promised you that I would find a man to take your place, and at your request I brought him here. How is the young man?

?He is a student at Hogwarts and has been studying at Hogwarts for five years."

"That's good. After all, you're not a squib like me."

Mrs. Figg was not surprised that Luo Cheng had only attended school for five years. She looked relieved and put down the kettle.

"Hello Mrs. Figg, I'm Luo Cheng."

"Okay, okay, okay." Mrs. Feige looked at Luo Cheng and nodded with satisfaction.

Luo Cheng was a little confused. What medicine was this old lady selling in her gourd?

"As a Muggle liaison officer, I actually don't need to do anything."

Mrs. Figg said, "The Muggles in this neighborhood are all stubborn. It is almost impossible to have any relationship with wizards. They are far more interested in the private affairs of their neighbors than in the pursuit of knowledge. So there is no need to worry about the Muggles here.

The melons will do weird things to attract magical creatures or dark wizards. But there is a very key person in this neighborhood. His importance is extraordinary. He is the boy who survived and made the mysterious man disappear.

Leigh Porter."

"Harry Potter? Wow, the Boy Who Lived? I didn't know that!"

Bertha Jorkins looked very excited.

Mrs. Figg was obviously aware of Bertha Jorkins' reputation as a loudmouth, but she had her own way of dealing with it.

"Bertha, you can't tell anyone about this. This is a task assigned to me by Dumbledore. I am asked to pay attention to Harry Potter's growth and avoid anyone from the wizarding world before he enters school.

Contact him. Dumbledore will be very angry if you tell anyone that Harry Potter lives around here."

"Okay, okay, I know you don't trust me to keep a secret."

Bertha Jorkins muttered that she was not afraid of anything, but she was still in awe of her headmaster.

But she quickly cheered up again, "Why does Harry Potter live here?"

"Harry Potter was fostered with his aunt, which was also Dumbledore's request." Mrs. Figg answered, and then told Luo Cheng. "Harry Potter's aunt's family are all very rude people.

, his aunt and uncle are both stupid philistine types, and they also have a son, Dudley, who is also a bully. Harry is not happy with his aunt. They give their little piglet son

When we go out for birthdays, they always throw Harry Potter at my place because they think I, this weird old lady, can make Harry Potter very uncomfortable."

"This is too much!" Luo Cheng said.

"This is also the point I want to make. Harry Potter had a very bad time in the foster family, but Dumbledore requested that he not interfere in anything related to Harry Potter and his aunt's family."

"Why is this?" Bertha Jorkins also didn't understand. "He is the Boy Who Lived! The savior who saved the wizarding world!"

"I don't know either, but what Dumbledore said makes sense."

Mrs. Figg shook her head, "So if you take over my position, you will be a bystander like me. As long as no other wizards or magical creatures approach this neighborhood, you will live here like an ordinary Muggle."

.”

"No problem Mrs. Figg, I am a Muggle. It can be said that no one in the wizarding world understands Muggles better than me."

Luo Cheng agreed immediately.

"I need a copy of your file to give to Dumbledore, Bertha. Is that okay?"

"No problem, of course no problem."

Bertha Jorkins agreed immediately. Dumbledore was the person she respected the most. He was just a Muggle liaison officer. Even if Cornelius Fudge himself was present, he would not reject Dumbledore as the Ministry of Magic.

The request of the senior advisor. Through the conversation just now, Bertha Jorkins has realized that this position of Muggle liaison officer was probably arranged by Dumbledore himself.

"I have written to Dumbledore before, and he has agreed that I should find someone to take over my position. It would be best for a Hogwarts student like you who has just left school."

Mrs. Figg said with satisfaction.

"Then I have successfully applied for the job?"

"As long as Mrs. Figg doesn't have any objections, you can start work immediately. I'm going to show you to Mrs. Figg." Bertha Jorkins said with a smile.

"The Ministry of Magic has a house at No. 8 Privet Drive. I didn't live there because I already had a house here. You can live there." Mrs. Figg said, "But this is the Muggle neighborhood on that road.

You are the most stubborn Muggle in the world, don't show anything unusual or trendy, otherwise Aunt Harry Potter and his family will avoid you on purpose."

Luo Cheng nodded frequently. He had received the news that the promotion and salary increase system tasks had been completed.
