The Death Knell

It doesn't really matter what Ron's abilities are. The key is that he is loyal to Harry. This is enough. Loyalty is a very necessary trait in the dark universe, and other things are unimportant.

At worst, when Filch retires in a few years, a few people can work a little and let Ron come to Hogwarts to take over as a security guard.

There was a saying in the past life that the end of a man's career is security and the end of a woman's career is cleaning. If you really don't have any otherworldly skills, you might as well choose these careers. You can get there in one step at a young age and save decades of work. detour.

Su Ming was a security guard in his previous life. Even now, he still thinks that this job is good. You can make money whether you sit, lie down or walk. There is no involvement from anyone, and there is no performance pressure. You either have to look after the gate or the warehouse. In addition to the fact that you often need to work in the dark. Apart from being upside down during the day, it's pretty good.

What's more, Hogwarts is one of the highest universities in the wizarding world. It competes with the Muggles' Cambridge or Oxford. Even if the security guard here is a squib, he is still a regular employee of the Ministry of Magic, and he deserves a lot of benefits. , much better than temporary workers.

Just like the Ministry of Magic, the Minister may be replaced several times in just a few decades, but the security guard at the entrance of the Ministry of Magic has never been changed.

By the way, Filch is basically invisible during the day. The nature of the security job at Hogwarts is that of a night watchman, that is, a night shift security guard. In the past, Ron and Harry liked to go out at night the most. It suits him.

Besides being loyal, Ron was unremarkable, but he was a suitable keeper for the Loyalty Charm.

Severus looked down on Ron, but Harry was speaking for Ron. The communication between the two father and son was very natural, and seeing them getting along so well made Su Ming feel relieved.

It's normal, after all, in Harry's heart, he is Severus' biological son, and he needs his father's tough love.

Time passed quickly in the midst of such small talk, and then Severus had a class to attend, and Harry took Professor Wilson to the flying class office so that the latter could have a look.

His job is actually very leisurely. Only the first-year students who have just entered the school need flying lessons with their teachers. Who among the senior students can't ride a broomstick? Everyone can move around freely. Harry doesn't even need to show up. He can just sit in the office and approve notes to the prefects.

Calculated this way, every two freshmen in the college take the same class. In other words, Harry only has two classes per week, but he is like a wage thief, getting the same money as other professors.

In addition, the flying class professor also has another responsibility, which is to organize the weekly College Cup Quidditch competition, arrange the schedule and commentators. This is more like the main job, so the flying class professor should be called the Quidditch professor. .

But these are things that Harry himself likes. He likes Quidditch and flying broomsticks. Over the years in school, he has stumbled in most courses, but his talent in flying is unique. Although it's not enough to join the national team.

The flying lesson office looks more like a spacious showroom. It is located in a corner on the first floor of the castle. When you go out and walk along the dark corridor, you will find Filch's room. When you pass by the door, you can still hear the noise coming from inside. snore.

Looking out from the office window, one can see the Quidditch pitch in the distance and the vast green lawn. The scenery is quite good, but it is a bit noisy. During get out of class time, students always sneak out of the castle and play wizard games on the grass. .

It was like this when I was in school. Even if the recess was only ten minutes, I had to play something with my friends.

The office still has the overall style of Hogwarts. The walls are covered with various brooms and photos, jerseys and bats. The box where the Golden Snitch is stored is placed on a large cabinet, just like a common suitcase.

However, there are no trophies here, because the honors of Hogwarts are placed in the honor display room on the top floor of the main castle.

"Professor, this is my office. The previous professor, Mrs. Huo Qi, left her job and returned to her hometown because her daughter had a baby. Professor McGonagall informed me to come to work this year." Harry was busy pouring tea again. After all, he is British. Well, black tea is a must, just like their proprietary tea divination: "The formal letter of appointment has not been issued yet. It should still be going through the process at the Ministry of Magic. I don't know if Minister Granger has seen it."

"She didn't see it. Moreover, although the Ministry of Magic has to ask about the hiring of professors at Hogwarts, it has only been reviewed by the Administration Department. Your application may not appear on the desk of the Minister of Magic."

Su Ming sat down. The sunshine in this office near the corner of the castle was pretty good. The light coming in from the window made people feel warm:

"Besides, you and Hermione are in the same grade, so just call her by her first name. Calling her Minister Granger is still too foreign."

"Really? Sirius asked me to call her that, because after all, she is the leader of the Order of the Phoenix." Harry scratched his head in confusion, not understanding why the professor and the godfather said it differently, but he was still very obedient, so naturally he Knowing who has a better relationship with Hermione: "I understand. From now on I will still call her the same as when I was in school, but I don't know if she is willing to..."

The young man who survived the catastrophe scratched his head. The lightning scars on his forehead were all glowing red, and he looked very embarrassed, because when he was in school, he actually didn't have much interaction with Hermione. To be honest, he had more contact with her. If so, it’s already the fourth grade.

Hermione did not enter fifth grade at all. She took the S exam in advance and was excellent in all twelve courses, so she was able to graduate early. At the same time, she also obtained diplomas from ten magic schools in the world, and the robe she wore as a student. There are ten school emblems on it, and it has almost become a legendary legendary item.

By the way, the other person in history who got all A's in all twelve S subjects was the 19-year-old Voldemort, but his performance was not worth mentioning compared to Hermione.

In the past, people didn't even dare to mention his name, but after he was killed by 16-year-old Hermione, Voldemort's name became one of the favorite jokes in the British wizarding community, second only to how many goblins there are. Money man's joke.

As much as people were afraid of him in the past, they laughed louder afterwards. Everyone rushed to write Voldemort jokes and publish them on "The Quibbler" for everyone to see, just to prove that they had never been afraid.

"Don't worry, Hermione is not the kind of person who follows the rules, and she doesn't care about the political status in the wizarding world. What she values ​​​​more is friends."

Su Ming threw Harry a cigarette, lit one and stuffed it into his mouth, basking in the sun and puffing away the mist. The mist made the floating dust clearly visible in the light:

"Forget it for the older generation. If her classmates are still so alienated, she will be sad. Think about it, when have you ever seen Professor McGonagall call Professor Dumbledore the Headmaster? She always calls her Albus. , this is a friend. Sirius was a bohemian when he was young, but now he feels responsible for you. He has gone too far. He wishes he could follow the rules in everything. Don’t be influenced by him. People who live too seriously will become mentally ill. I've seen people like that, dressing up like bats every day..."

"Oh! Isn't this too weird? Why would a person want to be a bat?" Just hearing this, Harry immediately felt that there was something abnormal about that person.
