This is what Ravenclaw looks like.

"That Patrick's face is real..."

Until they left the 'banquet', Harry and Ron were reminiscing about Patrick's expression.

If they hadn't been too cold to stand it, they would have even planned to watch it for a while longer, because it was so exciting.

The four of them were okay, the twins had ice on their red hair at the moment.

"Hiss...it's too cold, really, they are too enthusiastic..."

George said while rubbing his hands.

"You should have left earlier."

Ron was a little serious.

"Just kidding, it's hard for us to get compliments..." Fred retorted while inserting his hand into Ron's neck. The cold Ron cursed, but was ignored by his own brother.

"It's a pity, it's only this time. No one dares to touch the sword now, so there's no need to think about helping them..."

After all, Ron broke free of the two of them and began to make a flame to keep warm - which caused Ron to talk again.

But amidst the chanting, there was a noise from the canteen in the distance - no doubt, several people missed the dinner in order to watch the excitement.

"Go to the kitchen."

Three voices came out at the same time. Harry and the three of them widened their eyes, and then quickly followed them.

——

"Please come in."

The next morning, Andrew, who was on routine duty, heard a knock on the office door.

‘Come to collect confinement? Or are you here to see the professor? ’

An idea came to his mind, and he gave the homework in front of him a big X - even if he copied it wrong, I will report it to you later!

Before anyone came in, he glanced at the name of the assignment.

Sure enough, Ron Weasley.

‘I dare to commit suicide. I’m afraid I’ll be put in solitary confinement this afternoon. The professor was very unhappy last time. ’

He muttered as he welcomed the visitor at the door - an unexpected person, Sirius Black.

"The professor is not here, Mr. Black. You can wait over there for a while. The professor will be back after class."

She was definitely not here to find him, Andrew said naturally, and then continued to immerse himself in grading homework - he had to practice in advance today, and he was very tight on time.

"Not looking for Professor McGonagall."

Sirius looked around at the office where there was only one person, and lowered his voice, "Well, I would like to know about the recruitment needs for professors of the History of Magic."

"Well... we are still recruiting. There are already three suitable applicants. The requirements are very simple. O-level Owls certificate and NEWTs certificate in the history of magic. Articles and corresponding research results published in publications in recent years, including Muggle Studies Those with certificates can get extra points for interviews.

"In addition, those with letters of recommendation can slightly lower the requirements... Professor Binns will then conduct an assessment to select a suitable professor - of course, if you can convince Principal Dumbledore or Professor McGonagall, you will also be given priority in admission."

Although this thing was drafted by Percy, Andrew still knew the rules - the requirements for teaching this course are not high, which is higher than the bottom-level courses such as Defense Against the Dark Arts and the low-level courses such as divination.

After all, he is a temporary worker, and there will be no assessment if he is excellent in multiple subjects. Besides, there are also professors in the castle who are particularly good in a single subject and are specially recruited, so it is not a big problem.

"ah?"

Sirius' mouth dropped open.

He was far behind - even if his OWLs were only E, he had never even taken an advanced class, let alone a certificate.

As for the publication of related publications... well, it can only be said that except for his research on dementors, his magic knowledge has basically not increased over the years.

"That's all I can say. If your friend plans to apply for the job, I suggest you learn more about Professor Binns's preferences. It might be helpful."

After all, it was the relationship with the school board, Andrew said one more thing.

He was not in charge of the interview, and he didn’t have any more information.

"That's it, I...I still...can..."

This was the first time he had done such a thing. Sirius was so ashamed that he lowered his head. If Harry hadn't tied him up, he would have wanted to rush out.

? ? ?

Don't ruin my reputation!

I also plan to practice the Transfiguration Technique. As long as the Galleons are enough, if not, I can just borrow more from the Astronomical Tower!

"Please leave, Mr. Black. The school's professors teach and educate people. Even if I take it without fear of death, Principal Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall will not give me any preferential treatment."

? ? ?

This is different from what was promised!

Sirius stared at Andrew, and Andrew stared at Sirius. In the end, Sirius was defeated.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I thought too much..."

After apologizing, Sirius almost ran away, leaving a confused Andrew behind.

Is this Sirius, the so-called first Death Eater? No...this is too outrageous.

When Professor McGonagall came over, Andrew immediately made a report - he didn't dare to do anything like accepting bribes.

"Want to be a History of Magic professor?"

Professor McGonagall's eyes widened, as if she heard some strange remarks, "Isn't it a prank of Polyjuice Potion?"

"It doesn't seem like..."

Andrew was also a little unsure.

The professor thought for a moment and said, "No, I can't give it to him. Although his current grades in the History of Magic subject are not outstanding, it is a compulsory course after all. If he is willing to be a divination professor... no, not even divination..."

Last year, she might have hesitated and given the course - half to one person wouldn't be a big deal, they were both liars anyway, one and two were the same.

But things are different this year. No matter how bad the Divination professor is, he still knows a little bit. But Sirius... Professor McGonagall doesn't remember him getting a high score.

"What class do you think is better for him... If the school board knows about it, they will definitely make room for him. You should know this, Taylor."

Even Professor McGonagall can't say that Hogwarts doesn't have any rubbish courses - such as Divination and Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Even more strictly, History of Magic is counted, and the quality of Professor Binns's classes is really too bad.

But the problem now is that the school board has to give face - the Black family's large-scale donations are not for one or two years, but for many generations in a row...

"Intern teaching assistant... Interview with those people, and then be responsible for managing students?"

In theory, school health care and other things are for people who can't get away with it, but the school doctor of Hogwarts is the top priority and can't be diluted.

Although Divination has some placement attributes (Andrew learned from other people in the office about the reason why the Divination professor entered the school and understood this quite well), at least the professor is professionally matched.

"Intern teaching assistant?"

"Yes, it's about giving him an extra quota. Anyway, Professor Binns is not on vacation now, so if he can teach, he can teach. If he can't, then... well, let's think about it. Anyway, I'll give you my opinion when the board of directors asks..."

Defense against the Dark Arts is suitable, after all, he was the former strongest Death Eater, but it's definitely not okay - the board of directors will never sell out their own people, even if they are enemies.

"You can consider it. Send Black's application to the board of directors first, let them have a headache..."

Professor McGonagall nodded, "Okay, go and have a rest."
