The Years Welding at Hogwarts

Late at night, two figures shrouded in black robes left Hogwarts Castle.

Standing by the window of the principal’s office, Noah watched the retreating figure disappear into the darkness, with a helpless expression on his face.

He lowered his head and glanced at the appointment letter of substitute professor signed by Dumbledore in his hand, and the expression on his face became even more melancholy.

No, how could he, a young wizard who had not been in school for more than a year, suddenly become a temporary acting professor of Potions?

Although he is only responsible for potions in the first year, this is too nonsense.

“Professor, why don’t you take the first-year courses as well?”

Noah handed the appointment letter back to Dumbledore, who had just signed it, but the damn old Bee Deng didn’t seem to see it, and he picked up the letter on the table with a smile. porcelain cup

“I think you are totally qualified for this job.”

Old Bee winked mischievously at the little wizard in front of him.

“It’s just a first-year Potions class. I heard Severus say that you have already started trying to brew advanced potions like Polyjuice Potion, haven’t you?”

“That’s O.W.You can start trying advanced potions that are not even tested in the LS exam. Even if you don’t succeed in brewing them in the end, it already shows your level of potions.”

Noah put his hands on his hips,”But you agreed to help Professor Snape teach, why are you leaving the first grade to me!”

As for Noah’s question, Old Bee Deng has a very strong and impeccable reason.

“Isn’t this what you proposed? We can lower the requirements for recruiting professors and assign junior professors with less outstanding abilities to teach lower-level courses.”

After happily drinking a sip of milk with saccharin in the cup, Lao Deng continued to speak calmly.

“If you can take care of the potions class for the lower grades while Severus is away from school, it means that the plan you proposed is completely feasible.”

Noah beat his chest crazily in his heart: What a sin!

He really wanted to slap the appointment letter in his hand directly on the face of this shameless old bee, but he held it back in the end.

Noah waved weakly Waving his hand,”Only for this week!”

The first-year students only have one Potions class per week. Even if the four houses are divided into two classes, there are only two classes.

Monday’s class is for Eagle House and Badger House, and Friday morning It’s a class from the school of two enemies: the lion and the snake.

“By the way, Professor Dumbledore, have you released the recruitment information?”

Noah stared at Lao Deng in front of him with a suspicious look, and his eyes revealed his extreme distrust of the principal.

When this rather embarrassing topic was brought up, this scoundrel with a notorious track record of being addicted to fishing The principal avoided Noah’s gaze with some guilt and tried to shift the blame to other people.

“Things like recruiting professors need to be approved by the school board of directors……”

Noah accurately captured the key information point in Dumbledore’s words,”In other words, you haven’t announced the recruitment news to the outside world yet?”

Regarding the recruitment of new professors at Hogwarts, Noah Ya had just mentioned it to Lucius before.

Draco’s father Lucius is one of the twelve directors of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and he is also the one with the greatest say.

As long as he nodded, basically everything Dumbledore submitted to the school board for approval would pass.

Noah also specifically asked him not to get stuck on this project. He could grant him all the gold galleons that Old Deng needed to fund the recruitment of additional professors.

According to the time when the application was submitted, even if the efficiency of the two organizations responsible for approving the school board and Gringotts, which is responsible for distributing funds, deteriorated, the funds should have been released long ago.

So… there are bad people among the school leaders?

Isn’t Old Dengtou secretly misappropriating the money approved by the school board to other places like a certain mother-in-law?

Could it be that the Order of the Phoenix was rebuilt in advance because of the early resurrection of a certain noseless monster?

Noah looked at the old bee with an increasingly unkind look, and the suspicion in his eyes became even stronger.

“I remember I suggested it to you not long after Halloween, right?”

Noah counted out the work he had done for this fishy old Bee one by one with his fingers.

“Regarding the number of new professors that need to be recruited, as well as the budget for the additional funds needed for the recruitment, the teaching subjects they should be assigned to after the recruitment is completed, and the new course schedule after the additional personnel are added.……”

Every time Noah said something, the smile on Dumbledore’s face became more awkward, and his back that should be straight became more stooped.

After Noah finished speaking, Lao Deng almost shrank under his desk.

“Among all these reports, I have already submitted the course schedule, which is the latest to be completed, to you before December. It has been a full month and a half now.

Standing in front of Dumbledore’s desk with his hands on his hips, the expression on Noah’s face at this moment was no less terrifying than Professor McGonagall in an angry state, which made Dumbledore feel even more stressed.

“As a result, you told me that you have not released any recruitment news to the outside world yet?”

Dumbledore weakly wanted to defend himself,”The funds provided by the school board of directors……”

But before he could even finish the first sentence of his defense, Noah interrupted him mercilessly.

“Draco’s father, Mr. Lucius Malfoy, had organized a school board meeting a month ago to approve additional education funding.”

“From the approval, to the fund transfer application form being submitted to Gringotts, to Gringotts transferring the funds to Hogwarts’ account, no matter how slow the work efficiency of the goblins was, it would never exceed A week’s time!”

“Not to mention that the creed of those goblins is that time equals money! It is impossible for them who preach customer first, efficiency first, and high-quality service to be so procrastinating!”

“Not to mention that Hogwarts is still their top VIP customer!”

“From the time they receive the application form, it only takes up to half an hour! The money will be transferred to the Hogwarts account!”

“In other words, this money has been sitting in the Hogwarts account for a full month!”

“But you didn’t do anything. You just hid in the principal’s office every day, eating sweets and not doing any work! Or maybe he is like a perverted stalker who smelt copper, secretly using the Disillusionment Charm to hide behind Harry Pott who is wandering at night, and keep an eye on what he is doing!”

Speaking of this, Noah couldn’t help but slapped the desk in front of Dumbledore.

“If you, as the Headmaster of Hogwarts, have such an unprofessional work attitude, I think you might as well resign from this position and let Professor McGonagall be the Headmaster. In terms of work attitude, she is much more qualified than you..”

Hearing what Noah said was so righteous, the portraits of past principals hanging on the wall of the principal’s office couldn’t help but quietly opened their eyes. One of them had a goatee. The wizard didn’t hide it.

He laughed wildly,”Dumbledore, this kid is right. If this is how you become the headmaster, then you might as well abdicate and give it to someone else!””

Dumbledore was taught by Noah that he couldn’t hold his head up, but that didn’t mean that others could laugh at him.

He glanced at the portrait on the wall, and before he could refute, Fat Huo, who had been squatting at the door, The chicken suddenly flapped its wings and flew in front of the portrait, which was a set of”Pudong Roosters.”

Fox flapped the frame with his wings and yelled crazily,”Shut up, old man!” You have no right to speak!”

It’s not tearing with claws but fanning with wings. This kind of attack is completely innocuous to the two-dimensional portrait that only exists on the canvas, but it still makes the former principal whom Fox calls”old guy” very angry. It was shameless.

Phineas Nigellus Black had to use the kind of volume he would use when quarreling with others to barely cover Fox’s broken voice.

“Dumbledore! Take care of your phoenix!”

After Fox made such a fuss, the portraits of the past principals on the wall no longer pretended to be asleep. They all opened their eyes wide for fear of missing the good show in front of them.

Some portraits even disappeared directly into the painting where they were originally. In the frame, I ran to an unknown painting in the castle to get food such as melon seeds, peanuts, wine, etc., and happily started watching the movie with snacks. The

Sorting Hat was even more generous in helping both parties. Shouting slogans of cheering.

Looking at the noisy principal’s office in front of him, Noah sighed helplessly.

He ignored the noise in front of him and picked up his phone from Lao Deng’s desk.���He took a quill, then pulled out a piece of parchment and started writing.

With Fox distracting him from the portraits of Noah and past principals, Dumbledore, an old fisherman, sneaked to the door of the principal’s office.

But the hinges, which are usually extremely silky smooth, made an inappropriate squeaking sound at this moment.

Noah, who was writing and drawing on the parchment, didn’t even raise his head,”What are you doing?”

Dumbledore, who wanted to sneak away but was caught, stood at the door with a very embarrassed expression, holding the door handle. Neither does opening the door, nor letting it go.

With a slightly awkward movement, he put his hand on his beautifully groomed beard and twisted a strand of it uneasily.

“Uh, I’m going to take a trip to the Owlery and put out an ad for a new professor.”

This lame reason doesn’t hold up at all. Before you place an advertisement in the Daily Prophet, you don’t write the advertisement first and then forward it to the daily editorial department?

So Noah simply replied to Dumbledore. ,”hehe.”

This made Dumbledore even more embarrassed.

After he stood there awkwardly for a while, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Noah didn’t want to talk to him. At this time, Fox also began to feel that this The act of slapping someone’s big mouth with wings is very boring. It would be fine if it were a real person, but what does it have to do with a painting?

As Fox flew back to the perch behind the office door, the office soon recovered. He felt calm.

Looking at Noah writing furiously, Dumbledore quietly moved his steps and came behind Noah to see what Noah was writing.

Noticing Dumbledore’s gaze, Noah Turn your head slightly

“I plan to write a letter of recommendation to Mr. Lucius regarding the establishment of a special review team.”

“Each specific use of the funds allocated to Hogwarts by the school board requires the issuance of corresponding bills and the preparation of corresponding financial expenditure statements.”

“At the same time, we need to add an additional position in our external recruitment advertisements, that is, specialized financial personnel.”

Every time Noah said a word, Dumbledore’s face turned green.

“These bills and statements will be verified and summarized by financial personnel appointed jointly by the school board and Hogwarts, and then submitted to the review team sent by the school board for review. This will ensure that every fund will be used correctly. purpose.”

Speaking of this, Noah showed an”innocent” smile to Dumbledore

“Professor, you can rest assured that this will not have any impact on your voice in Hogwarts. This is just a measure to supervise your work efficiency.”

“With the supervision of financial staff, they will not sit back and let you let the funds lie untouched in your Hogwarts account for a long time, but will urge you to implement them quickly.”

“In this way, it will not happen again that the school board has allocated funds, but you still haven’t released the recruitment news after waiting for so long.”

“After all, money only works when it flows. If it just sits there, it’s just a pile of useless gold.”

After hearing Noah’s explanation, Dumbledore’s face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

With this, how could he embezzle public funds and use it for private purposes to support his Order of the Phoenix?

But Noah’s reason was very appropriate. It was impossible to refute. How could he say rejection?

Promise Noah that such a thing would never happen again in the future? With his feeble words and dirty criminal record, who could say this? Letter?

Dumbledore suddenly felt that he had a myocardial infarction. He was wrong. He should not have appointed this child as a temporary substitute professor.

Otherwise, the subsequent conversation between the two of them would not have occurred.

If the subsequent conversation had not occurred, , then Noah would not find out that he has not posted a recruitment advertisement.

At this moment, Dumbledore seemed to be transformed into the magical world’s Xiang Lin’s wife, and he couldn’t help but start complaining about himself in his heart.

I’m so stupid, Really…

I just know that every suggestion this kid puts forward regarding the current educational system at Hogwarts is spot-on, very original and extremely creative, but I don’t know that he is also the same when it comes to checking and filling the gaps in the existing system.

In the past, I could misappropriate the funds allocated to me by the school board as I wanted.

But when this system is implemented in the future, as long as even one copper nickel is missing from the books, the school board will realize that–oh no! , I’m afraid he got hit by a hamster.

If there weren’t other people here, Dumbledore would probably start whimpering, and then he wouldn’t be able to say anything.

After Noah left, Dumbledore once again habitually He reached out to the candy jar in the drawer.

But when his hand was about to touch the jar full of cockroaches, Dumbledore suddenly stopped in the air.

Looking at the tempting cockroaches in the jar, Dumbledore A trace of struggle appeared on Bullido’s face

“Unexpectedly, I was so tempted by sweets that I fell into such a state of depravity.”

Dumbledore raised his favorite candy jar,”From today on, quit……”

The raised hand was frozen in the air for a long time. In the end, Dumbledore did not have the heart to say the words”quit sugar.” He tremblingly put the candy jar back to its original position.

“I will eat less from now on.

He extended his claws to the crawling cockroaches in the jar and said,”I will eat three cockroaches tonight.””

“The first one, another one, the last one, the last one, the last one……”

I don’t know how much time passed, but when Dumbledore recovered, there were hundreds of cockroaches in the full jar, and now only three were left crawling and squirming inside.

“Well, I said I would only eat three tonight, so I will only eat three.”

Grabbing the only three cockroaches left in the jar, Dumbledore put one of them into his mouth and felt the wonderful touch of the barbed legs jumping in his mouth.

When the last cockroach also After disappearing into the depths of his throat, Dumbledore relied on his strong willpower to resist the urge to take out another jar of cockroaches from the cupboard next to him. Lying on the soft big bed in the bedroom, the corners of Dumbledore’s mouth With a proud smile.

On the first day of quitting sugar, today I successfully completed the strict goal I set. It’s really hard on myself. I

’ll reward myself by opening a can of Cockroach Heap tomorrow morning.
