Chapter 140: After the Philosopher's Stone, is there a new path?
Although he wanted to stay calm and not do anything, his damn thirst for knowledge got the better of Andrew.
An interview model that is almost dominated by him - which Ravenclaw can withstand this temptation?
That is the number one white wizard...
Even though Andrew would not ask any extraordinary questions about transfiguration because of Professor McGonagall's warning, the other aspects of knowledge were really fascinating.
Who can bear it?
Andrew can’t anyway.
‘It’s time to put your acting skills to the test. ’
He said this to himself, then packed up his things and went to the library - the current library was extremely quiet, and occasionally professors who came to pick up books would not enter the bookshelves to read.
‘Then, let’s get started. ’
——
"Hogwarts, I'm back."
Jon looked at the floating image of Hogwarts Castle in the distance, feeling extremely excited.
Six years after graduation, he is now considered an official reporter and can even get an opportunity to interview Dumbledore - what an honor it is!
After checking his clothes again to make sure that his wizard robe was not stained with any dust, he walked towards the road leading to the school from Hogsmeade under the impatient urging of the photographer.
"Who do you think will pick us up?"
In order to relieve his tension, he asked the photographer.
"It's probably Hagrid. Didn't you receive a reply from the school yesterday? Didn't you read it carefully?"
The photographer's tone was a bit domineering - not because of his personality, but because of the editor's request before departure.
He had to keep pressure on this barely qualified guy at all times and make him honestly ask what he had agreed to do.
Why young reporters?
Isn’t it just because you are obedient that you can not ask your own questions and ask the questions that the person praising potatoes asked on a piece of parchment paper?
Only a guy who has been out of college for a while and whose thorns have been smoothed out is useful - he seems to be able to ask those questions, but he doesn't dare to ask questions outside of the manuscript.
Who would have thought that the praising potato actually had so many problems!
But there you have it - he is responsible for promoting Dumbledore's legendary work, and the salary increase during this period is very satisfactory. Ask, the more new issues are sold, the better, and he can also benefit from it!
Yon didn’t feel it at all. The opportunity was rare, and restricted questions were normal. The most important thing was that this time they were going to meet Dumbledore!
But to his surprise, it was not only Hagrid who came to greet him, but also a young boy. The young boy even took the initiative to greet him.
"Good morning, sir - are you the staff of "Magical Legends" magazine?"
"Yes, we have an appointment."
The invitations and replies were verified one by one, and then the two of them were invited onto the carriage and flew towards Hogwarts.
"Hello, I am Andrew Taylor, second-year Ravenclaw and part-time Assistant to the Vice-President's Office."
In the carriage, Jon heard the little man introduce himself-he suddenly understood why the other person was short.
It turned out to be a little brat...
He subconsciously wanted to show off the momentum of a senior, but before he could straighten up, he was held back by the pressure of the photographer behind him.
But these little episodes were ignored by the second grader.
"Although Dumbledore doesn't mind some outrageous questions, the school is not willing to have these unpleasant things appear - so, I think we still have to have one last communication before the interview begins. After all, you..."
The short guy turned his head and stared at Yon - the serious look in his eyes suddenly reminded him of the conversation he had when he was told yesterday.
Of course he knew what he didn't say - the so-called autobiography in his magazine...
"In addition, there should be no negative reports or unwarranted rumors. Of course, gossip is absolutely prohibited. No need to say more about this, right?" This momentum... looks like someone is going to be fired...
"Of course, no!"
Jon agreed firmly.
"In addition, the photos should be more serious. Although Principal Dumbledore is kind, but..."
"No problem!"
'Very good...worthy of my imitation of Professor McGonagall's disposable contact lenses...'
In order to make work communication smoother, Andrew even spent half a day adjusting this thing to make it feel as oppressive as Professor McGonagall at the office.
Colored contact lenses and deliberately imitated eyes have an outstanding effect.
…
"Please come in, Dumbledore is waiting in the office."
Andrew's tone became a little cheerful, as if his previous stern persona no longer existed.
'I hope Professor Dumbledore is not eating snacks, otherwise all the preparations will be in vain...'
With this attitude to relax himself, Andrew shouted the password and knocked on the door of the principal's office.
Fortunately, Dumbledore didn't have the habit of losing his temper during serious moments. When Andrew brought the reporters, their dear principal's desk was unusually filled with two piles of documents, one high and one low!
Stop, principal, the smile on your face is too bright. You should be handling half of the documents with an apologetic smile, and then pushing the two piles of documents aside, instead of moving the documents away happily!
However, this shot of Dumbledore at work is destined to be unavailable - those documents can only serve as the background.
Then it became difficult for him to deal with it. He could only sit behind the photographer and wait for reporters to ask questions.
If there are questions that should not arise or words that are easily ambiguous, he will be responsible for interrupting and allowing the conversation to continue - but he has checked those questions on the way, and they look very familiar...
"Headmaster Dumbledore, do you think there is an end to magic?"
"Is there any possibility of their unification?"
“What is the future development trend of herbalism?”
"Will the Potions Automatic Crucible have better development in the future?"
"Does the emergence of the Philosopher's Stone in alchemy mean the end of alchemy? What are the prospects for the development of emerging alchemy?"
"Do you have any suggestions for the so-called enchantment of Muggle machinery?"
"What are the general employment trends for Hogwarts graduates in the future?"
Since Professor McGonagall has warned not to be too ambitious in transfiguration, then just ask about alchemy - Andrew is very concerned about the future.
If it were not restricted by the secrecy law, he would like to know how electricity and communication from Dumbledore's perspective should enter the magical world, and what things would be combined with it.
What will these things do to the wizarding world - if Voldemort dies, will Dumbledore concentrate on studying the magic of these Muggle things?
What sparks will this create? What kind of future will it forge?
With the help of magic, can the sun be copied more easily?
Using alchemy equipment, can carbon dioxide be used to break through the chain that has locked the transfiguration technique for too long and cannot produce food?
He really wants to know, when new theories are proposed and integrated into the magic system, will the old transfiguration building collapse, or will a brand new system be established?
There are too many... How can I ask all the questions...
