Chapter 23 Dumbledore's visit
Books are not cheap, especially textbooks, which are a little professional Ordering textbooks will make you wonder at checkout if this thing is a page of a book made of money.

William completely understands that the businessman came to the door, but in William's state, Xiao Gui and Cao Sui are not bad. Choosing the right textbook for himself is completely causing trouble for himself.

He was going to tell the Boss perfectly and clearly about these words. He didn't plan to do anything like picking up new books as textbooks, even if there was no current crisis.

But when he opened the door with a straight face, he was startled by the person behind the door.

A deep voice came from behind old Tom:
"Good afternoon, Mr. William. I would take the liberty to visit without a letter, but the matter is urgent, I think we need to communicate in person. "

Although he said so, the tone of the visitor was not very anxious. His thin and tall figure made his face fully exposed behind the old Tom, and the gentle smile on his face made it impossible for him. Imagine that such a kind old man is recognized as the most powerhouse by magic circle.

"Good afternoon, Professor Dumbledore, to be honest, I didn't expect you to come before I opened the door."

William forcibly restrained himself from expressing eagerness. The expression came - there is no way, this one is really too generous.

At present, William has drawn more than 20 boxes from the system sporadically. Compared with the rest of the boxes, one of Albus Dumbledore's approved boxes can crush all the others. box.

Other people's boxes are all cards drawn from the card pool. The box on Dumbledore's side is completely selected from all the final rewards after the card pool is exploded.

Also, considering the experience of getting a second chest from Mundon, William can be sure he can at least fetch another chest on Dumbledore - basically High Level to print another card .

It was because of this issue that he resolutely chose to go to Hogwarts for half a year. Although it seems that he was tricked by his own choice, the pit has been tricked. The benefits that were selected at that time are no longer available.

"Perhaps this is a little bit of stubbornness of the Old Guys. They always like to let their tempers work. Why don't you invite me to a cup of hot chocolate?"

Professor, very Sad to tell you, old Tom doesn't really welcome sweets at his bar - when William was about to say that, old Tom, who was standing in the doorway, moved towards Dumbledore with a smile on his face.

"Of course there is, good hot chocolate with a little white wine in it, which is my specialty."

Old Tom eagerly moved towards the room and stretched out his hand , "Please sit down first, Professor, and the hot chocolate will be ready soon."

What about a good bar that doesn't sell chocolate?

William sighed slightly, then moved towards the old Tom who ran downstairs and shouted: "I want a drink too!"

After doing this, he walked directly towards the door , sat down on the bed, leaving the only one chair for Dumbledore.

"The lighting is good," Dumbledore glanced at the surroundings of the room, then fixed his eyes on the piles of books on the table.

Beside the books, there were thick stacks of notes—life-related issues that William dealt with in the spirit of college exam week review.

"Well prepared, it looks like we made the best choice, and I bet Minerva can't help but sigh when she sees these notes."

Dumbledore's expression softened. When his hair became mellow, it was obvious that a professor who prepared seriously for academic affairs was quite admired by the headmaster.

"After all, I haven't done system training on these things. Although it's a bit late to add it, it's better to do some preparation than nothing."

William said Half the truth.

Aside from his self-study in Azkaban, he can almost be regarded as not having received any magic education. Now he is so serious that he is not reviewing, but self-studying.

But this answer pleased Dumbledore.

Defense Against the Dark Arts - now called wizard self-defense magic - the professor of this course is not too far from Azkaban if you take it seriously, after all, people who don't understand dark magic can't do it at all this post.

A wizard who has grown up to support himself in the wizard world, even if his strength is a little weak, he can barely touch the edge of this course, especially the one who can't solve the problem by letting the professor leave the school The curse of this course has made the selection requirements for professors in this course much lower.

A professor willing to work diligently in teaching, yet humble and not arrogant, could hardly have made Dumbledore any more satisfied under such circumstances—especially when compared to the newly recruited professor Down.

"That's the case, dark magic - oh wizard self defense magic taking this course and we got a cover letter from a new wizard considering one has seven grades This kind of thing is indeed too exaggerated (Note 1), we decided to accept his application."

"New?" William was stunned.

Maybe the previous professors' most injured experience made the school underestimate the curse. Maybe the Dark Lord didn't resurrect and the formidable power of the curse was greatly reduced, but William knew very well that this class was a deep pit. , Whoever jumped in was in trouble.

"I think I can do it, Professor Dumbledore."

William said sincerely.

If the other party comes in and curses that the formidable power will shrink, he may hesitate for a long time before rejecting, but in this situation, there is absolutely no need to drag people into the water.

"Of course I trust you, especially after seeing these materials on the table, but I have discussed with Professor McGonagall, if there are other wizards willing to try, we will not refuse for the sake of students. His application—seven years of schoolwork—would ruin a young professor."

Dumbledore explained kindly.

"What about the curse? This is not an ordinary position. Every year professors have accidents because of curses."

"In the past time, we have tried every means to deal with the curse, although no The law has successfully erased the curse, but he has tried his best to reduce the danger. The new professor knows this as well as you, and the curse is not a problem."

【The curse you suffered met the sharer, You got a Blessed Box. ]

There were no excuses, and no need for them--if he guessed right, Professor McGonagall was supposed to be signing a contract with another candidate while Dumbledore came to inform him.

(There is one more chapter)
Note: 1. According to the class schedule with a relatively high degree of recognition on the Internet, basically the Defense Against the Dark Arts class is at least one large class a week. It lasts for half a day, and during class, each grade is taught by two houses together, that is, each grade needs half a day to attend the class, even if the practice class of the Seventh Year will be less, the Sixth Year is a major elective course regardless of the house. , these courses alone take three full days... This is not counting the time for preparing lessons, and the time for grading papers... That is also the Divine Item that kills time... That is to say, including those messy, Defense Against the Dark Arts professors Across seven grades, Time-Turner is basically required to teach normally, which is more liver than 996.
