Study Days at Hogwarts

Chapter 1771 A War Without Winners (Two Hundred and Twenty-One)

The cheating incident during the exam did cause quite a stir in Hogwarts, but fortunately, it came and went quickly like a rootless water, and there was no more trouble afterwards.

Except for a certain unlucky guy who liked to die, most students were celebrating the end of the exam and preparing for the holiday life in a few days.

At least, before the exam transcripts were sent to their homes by owl post, the fifth-year and seventh-year students could enjoy the rare holiday life.

For this reason, a large number of seventh-year students who chose to take the Defense Against the Dark Arts Advanced Class went to visit Albert together after a brief discussion, and held a small banquet in the Defense Against the Dark Arts Office to express their sincere gratitude to their Professor Anderson.

There are not many professors who can be so popular with students, but Albert, a not-so-competent professor, really gave too much.

Especially when everyone was facing the final wizard exam, every question made them feel familiar, and many people realized that they could get a good grade thanks to Albert's accurate prediction.

There was actually another reason why everyone came to Albert, that is, they hoped that Albert could give them some advice on their future career planning.

They had done employment consultation a few years ago, but compared with the advice of Principal McGonagall, everyone still wanted to hear Albert's advice.

After all, this person's divination predictions were famously accurate. Even if they didn't do divination, it was a great thing to listen to his advice.

In terms of employment, Albert couldn't actually provide much help, and he never planned to divination for them one by one. He was not so idle, just chatting with everyone about future careers, and by the way, revealing some information he knew, such as what vacancies there were in the Ministry of Magic, such as the current prospects of certain professions, which professions might be more profitable, or what ways to make money.

For students who were isolated from the news, this was undoubtedly a huge help.

What surprised Albert was that there were not as many students who planned to work in the Ministry of Magic as he had imagined. It should be said that in this semester, the Ministry of Magic had basically filled the missing positions, and the remaining jobs were not very popular.

There were a few wizards born in Muggle families who were interested in the Muggle-related positions in the Ministry of Magic.

Maybe the work in the Ministry of Magic was very hard, and maybe the salary in the Ministry of Magic was not as high as expected, but working in the Ministry of Magic was still a very good job, especially for those Muggle-born wizards who had no foundation in the magic world. If they wanted to gain a foothold in the magic world, they must have a stable salary income.

This is also the basis for the Ministry of Magic to rule the British magic world: I pay you!

After sending away the other students, Hermione, who deliberately fell behind, suddenly said: "No wonder Kingsley suggested that everyone stay in the Ministry of Magic!"

If according to the previous screening mechanism, Harry's group would not reach the level of Aurors at all, so Kingsley would secretly open a back door for everyone, which was also his care for everyone. Even if some people could not continue to stay in the Auror's office in the future, they could still have a good job.

"Now it seems that I really don't know what's good for me!" Hermione sighed softly after witnessing today's situation.

"After all, Kingsley is an experienced person who has experienced many things. It's normal for him to see farther than you." Albert smiled and comforted, "What's more, your luck is not bad. At least you don't have to worry about your future."

Hermione didn't respond, but suddenly said: "I plan to move directly to Avalon."

"Isn't it ready yet?" Albert felt quite regretful about this. Hermione's fiery passion made him a little fascinated.

"You can live in the tent for a few days first."

Hermione did consider continuing to occupy Albert's beautiful world for the two of them, but after thinking of Isobel's reminder, she finally gave up. After all, Albert still had many girls to deal with.

"Sparkling will also help me clean up, and it won't take long to get it done."

Since moving to Avalon, the house elf Sparkling has completely walked out of the shadow of the past and lived a fulfilling and busy life again.

Just as Hermione and Dobby said, the residents of Avalon are very friendly to house elves, and Winky is respected more than ever before.

Not long after the final exams, Hogwarts ushered in the year-end banquet, and Albert, as the school's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, naturally would not be absent.

This year, Ravenclaw won the House Cup. As the average level of the entire Hogwarts is relatively top, Ravenclaw really won it easily.

It can only be said that after losing Snape, the headmaster who protects his children, Slytherin House has directly lost more than half of its ability to stir up trouble and competitiveness.

Gryffindor lost Harry, who was a B-grade bonus, and they like to be naughty all day long. It's not surprising that they are at the bottom of the score.

As for Hufflepuff, they have already fainted in the toilet.

The whole year-end dinner was quite enjoyable. Albert ate and talked like other professors, and even made an exception to drink a few glasses of wine with Hagrid. He successfully fooled the gamekeeper of Hogwarts to spend the summer vacation in Avalon and helped him check if there were any problems with the farm.

It is obviously unrealistic to expect the people in Avalon to solve all the problems themselves.

The next morning, Albert returned to Hogwarts to attend the annual graduation ceremony. The content was very simple. All the seventh-year students gathered together to take a group photo. Then, under the leadership of Hagrid, they took the magic boat that the first-year students took to the castle and left again.

Looking at the boat gradually leaving the shore, Albert retracted his gaze, smiled and said goodbye to several professors around him one by one, and then turned and left under the resentful gaze of Principal McGonagall.

There was a reason why Professor McGonagall was so resentful. If Albert could continue to stay in school to teach, she would not have to worry about the lack of professors at all.

Albert, a genius who is proficient in all subjects, can easily fill any position. Not only can he solve the troubles of Hogwarts in one go, but he can also completely free her from the part-time job of the Transfiguration Professor.

It's a pity that Albert just patted his butt and left.

Albert didn't feel guilty about this. He could only say that Professor McGonagall was too picky. He had always wanted to find a competent professor, but it was not easy to find a qualified professor. Being good at teaching others was completely different from being good at teaching others.

Cedric could be asked to take over first, but the problem was that the reputation of Defense Against the Dark Arts was too bad. If Cedric didn't serve as the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, this subject might not be able to find a suitable candidate.

Let the Ministry of Magic send another Auror to the school to serve as the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?

Well, Cedric seemed to be a professor sent by the Ministry of Magic, and he had not yet completed the formal entry procedures.
