Hogwarts Homecoming

Ron covered his mouth and snickered, but the stares from Ginny and Hermione made him look awkward. He was being regarded as a 'traitor' by everyone because he was the first to give up the course taught by Brian.

"so--"

Amosta took a sip of the violet water, looking calm,

"You asked me out today, do you hope that I can help you write a letter of recommendation and enter the Department of Magical Law Enforcement for an internship?"

Percy was already an adult wizard who was about to graduate. In terms of size, he was almost indistinguishable from Professor Brian, except that the subtle features of his facial features were still a bit green.

Percy is currently the best little wizard at Hogwarts. He is the president of the Boys Student Council selected by Dumbledore. Almost every professor who has taught him his knowledge is full of praise, and Amosta will not hate him. This little wizard has both personality and personality, especially, this little wizard is also very self-motivated.

It is actually not uncommon to write a recommendation letter for a young wizard. When he graduated that year, Snape had implicitly expressed that if he wanted to work in the Ministry of Magic, although he himself did not have a deep connection in the Ministry of Magic, he would He can ask someone to recommend it for him.

Amosta was also surprised for a while, because Professor Snape has never been such a nosy style. Now that I think about it, maybe this proposal was made by Dumbledore, and he probably hoped that he could stay under his gaze. Wherever you can, in case you go astray.

"Yes, Professor Blaine--"

Percy nodded reverently, looking at Professor Blaine with awe in his eyes

"Perhaps you already know that I plan to work in the Ministry of Magic after graduation, but I don't know the situation in the Ministry. Some time ago, I wrote to my father to ask which department is more suitable for personal development. My father told me that the Ministry The two most authoritative departments are the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and the Department of International Magical Cooperation. He also told me that you have a personal relationship with the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Ms. Amelia Bones. I mean, it is a friendship, if there is Ms. Burns will not refuse your recommendation."

It is true that Amelia will not touch his face, but it also depends on who is recommended.

Percy is a descendant of the Weasley family, and he is also very good, and with his recommendation, even Fudge would sell this face, but

Amosta stared at Percy, and he saw the burning desire for power in the eyes of this little wizard who was about to enter the society. This extremely strong utilitarianism made Amosta secretly frown.

It is a good thing to be self-motivated, but it is very easy to go astray if you are too motivated and lack enough wisdom to restrain yourself.

After thinking for a moment, Amosta slowly shook his head,

"I'm sorry, Percy, but I'm afraid I can't agree to your request."

In the noisy bar, Professor Bryan's light words made Percy feel like being struck by lightning, and his expression froze immediately. Not only him, but also Miss Clearwater, who was trying her best to hide her thoughts beside Percy, and A few seats away, Hermione and the others, who stretched out their ears and listened carefully, looked bewildered.

"But—but—"

After a long time, Percy, who finally came back to his senses, was flushed, as if he had suffered some insult. He asked angrily,

"Why, Bryan, don't you think I——I'm not good enough?!"

"On the contrary, Percy--"

Professor Bryan said calmly, he did not immediately explain, but instead asked,

"The NEWTS exam is coming soon, Percy, I heard from Professor McGonagall that you now have a total of twelve compulsory and elective subjects. That's amazing. How many certificates do you think you can get?"

"Twelve gates!"

Percy puffed out his chest and said proudly,

"And, if there are no accidents, these twelve courses will all be excellent."

Amosta smiled and nodded slightly,

"Twelve NEWTS certificates to enter the Ministry of Magic is a sure thing, and no department will refuse you to join, Percy,"

Amosta adjusted his sitting posture, leaning forward full of oppression,

"In this case, why are you still obsessed with my recommendation letter? You could have achieved your goal with your own strength, but if you used my recommendation, you would be criticized or even targeted. You know, I am not in the ministry. Not without enemies—this will be detrimental to your future development in the ministry, in other words, it will kill your infinite possibilities."

Percy gaped, he hadn't really considered that.

"With your intelligence, you shouldn't have missed this--"

Amosta tapped on the table with her fingers, speaking sharply,

"However, the flame of greed in your heart blinded your reason and made you make wrong judgments, and in addition—"

Amosta turned her gaze to Miss Clearwater who was quietly listening,

"How about you, Penelope, Professor Flitwick mentioned to me a few little Ravenclaw wizards who aspired to enter the Ministry of Magic. It seems that your name is not among them. You are the prefect of Ravenclaw. It stands to reason that you also have the strength—"

"Oh, sorry, Professor—"

Penello didn't expect that Professor Brian would suddenly turn the topic to herself. She was surprised at first, and then her expression darkened again.

"I might—well, not intend to serve in the Ministry of Magic—"

"Why?!"

The question full of shock and anger came not from Amosta, but from Percy, who stared at his girlfriend of two years in disbelief. He had always taken it for granted that Penello would be there He went to work at the Ministry of Magic.

Penello buried her head deeply, but the hair hanging from the top of her head could not hide her sad expression and tears falling on her robe.

Amostar tapped the table again, reminding Percy to watch his tone.

"Although I am not the dean of Ravenclaw, Penelope, since we are discussing this topic, why don't you tell us your plan."

"My mother is a Muggle and my father is a half-blood wizard, Professor--"

After a long time, Penello barely controlled his emotions, but there was a slight cry in his voice,

"When my dad was studying at Hogwarts, the wizarding world didn't welcome half-blooded wizards, so he had prejudices against the Ministry of Magic and the wizarding world. He predicted that I would not have a good development in the Ministry of Magic. , So, he didn't want me to stay in the wizarding world after graduation. My grandfather and my mother also hoped that after I graduated from Hogwarts, I could return to Gloucestershire to help take care of the family farm."

A heavy atmosphere spread from where they were, and the noisy voice in the air seemed to be a little quieter. Now, not only Harry and the others, but many other little wizards were also eavesdropping on the conversation here.

Involving personal privacy, Amosta moved his fingers to block the sound of their chat, and then his eyes fell on Percy.

After hearing Penelope's situation, Percy's angry eyes not only did not restrain, but became more intense, which distorted his handsome appearance,

"But, until today, you never told me these things!"

"I thought you'd be ashamed, Percy--"

Amosta's eyes became deep, and the pressured eyes finally brought Percy back a little bit of self-control, he was no longer that aggressive expression.

"--As far as I know, Miss Penelope is your girlfriend, isn't she? Besides, you have been dating for a long time. Why do you know nothing about Miss Penelope's family? It's Penelope. Luo has concealed the truth from you, or, for a while, you have been keen on planning your own future, and completely forgot to care about Penelope's thoughts"
