Chapter 309: Onboarding
For a stubborn and capable wizard, failure is really a shame.
And giving up would be an even greater shame.
But Andrew couldn't help it - he had let off enough water.
This Ms. Nina was talking about the strong subjects of Hogwarts - the weakness in Defense Against the Dark Arts is enough to make the school uncomfortable, and it is impossible to let go of the professor position.
The only chance he could make an exception to get an opportunity was to replace these two subjects with a substandard professor, which would be irresponsible to all students.
‘Transfiguration can be broken by someone with a higher skill level or by a powerful enough spell, but none of them meet the criteria. ’
He shook his head.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Nina, I'm afraid that the subjects you are good at are not up to the level of being an intern professor."
Andrew was extremely serious, "But when it comes to Defense Against the Dark Arts, I personally am extremely dissatisfied. Recommended, please think about it again, we will investigate the matter about Professor Lockhart seriously, and we will also draw other people’s attention to this matter.”
"Then I plan to try Defense Against the Dark Arts."
She is still extremely stubborn.
In other words, the person who can find it from the remote place that Professor Lockhart found will definitely not give up casually.
"Then you must sign a confidentiality agreement to ensure that the information you hear will not be spread. If you can accept and pass the examination, then consider the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."
< br>“Okay.”
She was so determined that Andrew didn't even have time to ask the two principals for instructions with his eyes.
"Okay - Tyler, check around again and get a confidentiality agreement."
Soon, Andrew came over with the confidentiality agreement and checked around the office. Security - although theoretically unnecessary, it is still added.
......
"That's probably it. The curse rumored by the outside world does exist, and its power is uncertain, and its effects are also strange. But it is certain that so far, no one has served for more than one year. Professor of years.”
Professor McGonagall briefly introduced the fate of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professors over the years, "There were even two deaths, but they were separated by a long time. The most recent one was at the end of the last school year, and then the last professor Luo Professor Hart, he is still in the hospital and has lost most of his memory."
"Does Lockhart know these things too?"
Ms. Nina suddenly thought after a while. Asked a less relevant question.
"Professor Lockhart?"
Professor McGonagall was stunned for a moment, "Yes, there is no doubt that every job applicant will know this before joining the job."
< br>
"How is it possible..."
Nina made a sound of incredible surprise, but Andrew could indeed understand why she was like this.
A wizard who is suspected of stealing memories suddenly risks his life to become a professor - and this is even when he has no shortage of money!
"I roughly understand that if he knows everything but still comes to take office, he does deserve such respect - not allowing people to touch his things at will."
She thought for a moment, Turning to Andrew, "Sorry, classmate Taylor, may I know if anyone plans to touch Professor Lockhart's stuff?"
"Yes, but there were several scammers. The only one who could provide legal identity proof was the publisher of his original book. I planned to find out if he had any unfinished manuscripts, but I rejected it."
Andrew Shaking his head, "This reason cannot convince me."
"If he can take this risk to teach students, then I can, too," Nina said with a serious look, "If I don't even have the courage he has, If not, what else can I do to investigate and wait for the results?”
“As for the curse, aren’t there professors who had to resign due to individual reasons without anything happening? But I hope that the possible avoidance methods that have been proposed will be implemented."
"There is no doubt that - but we have to conduct a necessary test. Isn’t self-study still bad?
At least you have enough common sense and unique insights to convince parents.
But the test in this area is very easy - just mention the content of the old textbook, and Ms. Nina can easily answer the above content, and even give some tips. A risky example or something.
To be honest, Andrew felt that she was more of a professional adventurer than Professor Lockhart.
But if you consider the reality, this kind of praise may be considered an insult to her.
"My opinion is that the assessment passed."
Dumbledore expressed his opinion directly after the last question.
Professor McGonagall nodded, "Without a doubt."
But while making soy sauce, Andrew noticed three pairs of eyes staring at him at the same time - what a joke, the initial assessment was not a joke. Well?
Want my opinion now? I'm just a student!
But Ms. Nina—oh no, Professor Nina’s eyes became serious.
"Well, although I don't think I'm needed, I don't have any objections."
"Well, very good."
Dumbledore smiled, "There is no doubt that everyone here has passed!~"
Don't make such jokes, principal!
"Then, you will be responsible for the recruitment of Ms. Nina Martin and a series of measures to confuse the curse, Taylor. By the way, the notification letters from the examination administration and the school board, as well as the confirmation of the new textbooks, you You all know that, right?”
Dumbledore tried his best to show his office-loving temperament while joking.
‘But principal, I did it for Hagrid to join the job, I did it! ’
Although he was complaining in his heart, Andrew nodded and said he understood and would definitely handle it as soon as possible.
——
"Merlin's socks!"
After Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore left, the future professor finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Dumbledore is so easy to talk to.”
“Yes, Dumbledore has always been amiable.”
The principal may not have gone too far, and he will not be here until he is hired. Unfit to say this, Andrew chose not to say anything strange.
"So, can I use my office now?"
"It still takes time, and I really don't recommend using that office. For safety reasons, we can use another room to avoid possible curses. "
"But I still want to use it, I want to check it."
...
"It can be done, but it must be done after everything is done."
The Defense Against the Dark Arts, no, the Anti-Dark Arts professor had natural access to the previous office.
Although he didn't bring it up, the other party already knew it - the other party was not stupid, she thought of it without mentioning it.
With no other choice, Andrew sighed, "As for Professor Lockhart's belongings, they are still sealed and have no right to access them."
"Okay, I will remember them."
Professor Nina nodded, "Then, I can't wait any longer, let's start the onboarding process."
