Study Days at Hogwarts

Chapter 1678 A war without a winner (one hundred and twenty-eight)

Albert naturally knew what Principal McGonagall wanted from him, but he was really not interested in helping Hogwarts recruit professors.

Not to mention that he only communicates with those experts through letters. They are not familiar with them at all. Even if he does go, there is a high probability that he will not succeed and will only be annoying.

Most of the guys who can become experts in a certain field have eccentric personalities. There is a high probability that they will look down on the position of professor at Hogwarts, and they will not be willing to go out of their way to create a cage to restrict their freedom.

Therefore, even if Principal McGonagall asked him for help and successfully triggered the panel task, Albert was not interested in it at all.

This is a task that requires a lot of energy to be completed, and it is not worth waste of Albert's energy on this matter.

What's more, the experience given by this task is pitiful, so naturally I am not willing to invest too much energy and attention in it.

In fact, since Albert successfully killed Voldemort, he has not been as urgent as before to improve his strength, and his need for experience has been greatly reduced.

Now that he is married, has his own home, and has no major enemies, panel tasks are no longer all part of his life.

The result of this matter was naturally not far from what Albert expected. Principal McGonagall took advantage of the weekend holiday to visit the experts on the list one by one. As can be imagined, the experts had no interest in becoming a professor at Hogwarts. Not interested, Principal McGonagall's recruitment plan ended in failure.

Unless wizards are particularly passionate about education, there are really not many people who are willing to work at Hogwarts.

It's quite ridiculous to say that Hogwarts, which once made even Voldemort "unreachable", now has no one willing to hold this noble position.

There is nothing we can do about it. Professors at Hogwarts really don’t have many benefits other than their relatively high social status. Professors’ salaries are generally not high, and their work intensity is generally frighteningly high. More importantly, they are not “free” enough. .

Except for a few professors who were willing to treat Hogwarts as their home, others really couldn't get used to living like this.

After all, teaching students has never been their entire life.

Therefore, it is almost impossible for Albert to stay and serve. Precisely because he is in this situation, he knows the general thoughts of others.

Coming to the school for a year, to put it bluntly, he wanted Principal McGonagall to use his reputation to stabilize people's hearts and help Hogwarts return to normal as soon as possible so that it could reopen. This was no different from what Kingsley did.

So when Principal McGonagall talked to Albert about this matter with a tired look on his face, he gave him some of his unique views and insights. As for how much Principal McGonagall listened to, it had nothing to do with Albert. Anyway, It was impossible for him to stay and take over as Head of Gryffindor.

After talking about this matter with Principal McGonagall, Cedric complained to Albert that Principal McGonagall hoped that he could take over Professor Transfiguration.

"The main reason is that Principal McGonagall can't find a suitable candidate. She is now not only the Transfiguration Professor, but also the Head of Gryffindor. If you agree, you will take over as the Head of Hufflepuff in a few years, and Ron Barton took over as Head of Gryffindor." Albert glanced at Cedric, who was complaining, and walked towards the villa residential area ahead.

"In a while, we should be able to start preparing to move in. Would you like to take this opportunity to live with Qiu?"

Cedric couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard this: "Living together is bullshit, I live in Hogwarts now."

"You can use the Floo network to connect the fireplaces on both sides." Albert said without thinking.

"I'm not a rich man like you." Cedric complained gushingly. "A spoonful of floo powder costs two sickles, just once or twice. If I use it every day, my pitiful salary can't stand it." I can’t afford to waste it like this.”

"Don't cry poor, it's only twice a day, and it won't cost you a few galleons a month." Albert also knew that Cedric said that deliberately, patted the other party's shoulder and comforted him, "No matter what, you can't You can apply for a subsidy from Principal McGonagall, I think she will be happy to spend a few extra galleons in subsidy fees every month.”

"We will talk about it later. If I no longer want to work in the Ministry of Magic, I will give priority to working in Hogwarts." Cedric ended the topic perfunctorily. The work of the Ministry of Magic is good, why don't you think about it and run away? Hogwarts teaches students.

Less than a month after school started, Cedric felt that it was enough, and he was full of resentment towards Albert who had left everything to him while he was happy and happy.

"Really, I dare say that Qiu Zhang will definitely not reject you." Albert changed the topic, winked at Cedric and said, "Besides, I think you need Qiu Zhang's comfort."

At this moment, a crisp giggle came from behind. Albert turned around and saw several girls using magic to move furniture into the villa. Qiu Zhang happened to be among this group of girls.

"You and Isobel are like this too?" Qiu Zhang asked with a slight blush on his cheeks.

"Yes, after we got engaged, we basically lived together during the holidays." Albert smiled and pushed Cedric forward, leaving time for the young couple.

"That's great."

Seeing the two figures kissing each other, the girls watching were extremely envious. It is not easy to find a fiancé as good as Cedric nowadays.

"You will definitely be able to find someone you like." Albert said goodbye to the girls with a smile and went directly to the construction site.

Since the villa area was basically completed, everyone's enthusiasm has become higher and higher, and they seem to want to build the Avalon village quickly.

Especially after entering September, the temperature in the UK began to drop significantly, and everyone subconsciously extended their working hours.

Albert reminded them that there was no need to be so anxious, but it was completely useless, because October is the rainy season in the UK, which may cause work to stop, and work is also troublesome in winter, so everyone wants to do more now.

In fact, even on rainy days, everyone has their own things to do, such as learning to make furniture for their own homes, such as getting together to discuss how to decorate their new homes.

This has almost become one of the most popular topics for Avalon residents.

However, it has recently been replaced by the topic of "cohabitation".

Especially since the news that Cedric planned to live with his fiancée Qiu Zhang spread in Avalon, Fred rushed to find Angelina, and I don't know what means he used, but he actually succeeded in persuading Angelina.

It seems that influenced by this, young men and women who could not bear the temptation of living together took time out to hold engagement ceremonies, planning to officially start their cohabitation life after moving into Avalon.
