Chapter 209 The professor’s requirements are not high
“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, we finally 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 again caused Ron to mutter.
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 by the way, he gave the homework in front of him a big X - even if he copied it wrong, I will report it to you later!
While no one 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 man, 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 suitable professors - of course, if Principal Dumbledore or Professor McGonagall can be persuaded, priority will also be given to admission."
Although this thing was drafted by Percy, Andrew still knew the rules - the requirements for teaching this course were not high, which was 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 he will not be assessed 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 is far behind - it doesn't matter if the OWLs are only E, he has never taken an advanced class, let alone a certificate.
As for the publication of related publications... well, it can only be said that apart from 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 may be helpful." After all, it was the relationship with the school board, so Andrew said one more thing.
He was not in charge of the interview, and he didn’t have any more information.
"That's right, I...I still...can..."
It 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 my transfiguration. As long as the Galleons are enough, if not, I can just borrow more from the Astronomical Tower!
"Please leave, Mr. Black. The professors in the school 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 were different this year. The Divination professor was somewhat knowledgeable, but Sirius... Professor McGonagall didn't remember that he had any high scores.
"Which class do you think would be better for him...if the school board knew about it, they would definitely make a vacant seat. You should know this, Taylor."
Even Professor McGonagall can't say that Hogwarts doesn't have rubbish courses - such as Divination and Defense Against the Dark Arts.
Even more strictly, including the history of magic, the quality of Professor Binns' classes is really poor.
But the problem now is that the school board wants to give face - the Black family's large-scale donations are not made in one or two years, but for many generations...
"Internship teaching assistant...interview with those people and then be responsible for managing students?"
It stands to reason that the school nurse's health care and other matters are reserved for people who can't be wiped out, but the school nurse at Hogwarts is a top priority and cannot be mixed with water.
Although the divination class has some placement attributes (Andrew learned the reason why the divination class professor joined the school from other people in the office and has a good understanding of it), at least the professor is professionally matched.
"Internship teaching assistant?"
"Yes, it's about giving an extra quota. Anyway, Professor Binns is not on vacation right now. If he can be brought out, he will be brought out. If he can't be brought out, then... well, let's think about it again. Anyway, the school board will ask and give its opinion..."
Defense Against the Dark Arts would be appropriate, after all, the former most powerful Death Eater would definitely not work - there is no way the school board would betray its own people, and even its enemies would not do this.
"We can consider sending Black's application to the school board first to give them the headache..."
Professor McGonagall nodded, "Okay, let's go and rest."
