Promotion and salary increase start at Hogwarts

"The principal didn't tell me, but he asked me to come visit one of his old friends, because..."

Before Luo Cheng finished speaking, he was interrupted by the old man in front of him.

"Because this will be very helpful to your future? Yes, kid, I can indeed help you realize your ambition. Albus sent me a letter last week to tell me about your situation. He just used the Imperius Curse to confirm you

My identity does seem a bit inappropriate in this era, but you have to take care of my identity as an old man. After all, when I was young, there was no such thing as the Unforgivable Curse."

Luo Cheng looked at the old man in front of him in horror. Avada Kedavra, Imperius Curse and Cruciatus Curse, three black magic spells without corresponding cures, were classified as unforgivable curses by the Wizengamot as early as 1385.

Any wizard who uses the Unforgivable Curse on people will be sentenced to life imprisonment. And the old man in front of him actually said that there was no Unforgivable Curse when he was young. If this is true, then it means that the old man in front of him must be hundreds of years old.

The most famous longevity person in the wizarding world is none other than the famous alchemist Nicol Flamel! And Dumbledore did have an extraordinary friendship with Nicolés Flamel, and they were very effective in alchemy. And

The Philosopher's Stone that was taken to Hogwarts for preservation (or fishing) was what Dumbledore asked Nico Flamel for.

"Are you Nico Flamel?"

Luo Cheng asked tentatively,

The old man burst into laughter.

"Oh, yes, that was one of the names I used to go by. In fact, I used to be called Nicolas Flamel, or Nicolas Flamel."

"Wow, what an honor, I mean, I never thought I'd get to meet a legend like you."

Luo Cheng really didn't expect that Dumbledore would ask him to visit Nicol Flamel. He really couldn't imagine how Nicol Flamel would help his future, and he had no intention of developing alchemy.

"Young wizard, your eyes are full of ambition. Of course, ambition is not a derogatory term. Wizards without ambition are destined to have no achievements. In my opinion, many wizards now lack ambition. In fact, as long as they can grasp their ambition, they can do anything.

You can achieve great things without being swallowed up by your own ambitions. Having said that, I think you must be full of questions now, why did Albus let you come to me, a bad old man?"

Luo Cheng nodded. There was no need to perform acting in front of this old monster who had lived for hundreds of years. It was better to admit it directly.

"Indeed, I don't understand why Professor Dumbledore asked me to visit you. I know nothing about alchemy."

The old man tapped the armrest of the stone bench with his fingers and said: "I do have high achievements in alchemy, but Dumbledore certainly didn't ask you to come to me to teach you alchemy. He knew

Your ambition is that you want to achieve a higher position in the Ministry of Magic, right?"

"Yes."

Luo Cheng did not deny that promotion and salary increase were his motivation and were directly related to how many years he could live.

"Albus told me the centaur's prophecy about you, and the centaur saw variables in you. For Albus and I, the variables in the long river of fate are always very interesting, so he hopes that I can help.

help you."

Luo Cheng was not surprised that Dumbledore knew about Firenze's language towards him. Dumbledore's status in the eyes of centaurs was very important. When Firenze spoke to Luo Cheng that day, Dumbledore also saw it. There was no reason.

He didn't ask about it afterward, but it seemed that Dumbledore specifically asked Firenze later.
