Chapter 209 The Professor's Demands Are Not High
"That Patrick's expression is genuine..."

Until they left the 'party', Harry and Ron were still thinking about Patrick's expression.

If they were not really unbearable in the cold, they would even plan to watch it for a while longer, because it was really that exciting.

The four of them were fine, but the twins' red hair was now covered in ice.

"Hiss... It's too cold, really, they are too enthusiastic..."

George said, rubbing his hands.

"You should have left earlier."

Ron was a little serious.

"You must be joking. We finally get the praise..." Fred retorted while inserting his hand into Ron's neck. Ron cursed out of the cold, but was ignored by his own brother.

"What a pity, this is the only time. No one dares to touch the sword now, so don't even think about helping them..."

The two eventually broke free from Ron and started to make a fire to keep warm - which caused Ron to start nagging again.

But as they were muttering, there was a commotion coming from the cafeteria in the distance - there was no doubt that several people missed the dinner in order to watch the fun.

"Go to the kitchen."

Three voices came out at the same time. Harry and the other three widened their eyes and quickly followed.

-

"Please come in."

The next morning, Andrew, who was on routine duty, heard a knock on the office door.

"Are you here for detention? Or are you here to see the professor?"

An idea emerged in his mind, and he gave a big x on the homework in front of him - if you can make mistakes even when copying, I will report you later!
While the newcomer wasn't in, he glanced at the name of the assignment.

Sure enough, Ron Weasley.

"You are really asking for trouble. I'm afraid you will be put in detention this afternoon. The professor was very unhappy last time."

He muttered as he welcomed the visitor at the door - an unexpected person, Sirius Black.

"The professor is not here, Mr. Black. You can wait there for a while. The professor will be back after class."

They are definitely not here to see him, Andrew said naturally, and then continued to correct homework - he had to practice in advance today and he was very short on time.

"Not Professor McGonagall."

Sirius looked around the office where only one person was, and lowered his voice, "Well, I want to know about the recruitment requirements for a professor of History of Magic."

"Well... we are still recruiting. We already have three suitable applicants. The requirements are simple: O-level OWLS and NEWTs in History of Magic, articles published in recent journals and corresponding research results. Those with Muggle Studies certificates can get extra points for the interview.

"Also, those with recommendation letters can have their requirements slightly lowered... Professor Binns will then set questions for the assessment and select the appropriate professors - of course, if you can convince Headmaster Dumbledore or Professor McGonagall, you will also be given priority for admission."

Although this thing was drafted by Percy, Andrew was still clear about the rules - the requirements of the professor for this course were not high, only slightly higher than the basic courses like Defense Against the Dark Arts and the easy courses like Divination.

After all, he is a temporary worker, so his excellent foundation in multiple subjects will not be assessed. Besides, some professors in the castle are specially recruited because they are particularly good in a single subject, so it is not a big problem.

"what?"

Sirius' mouth dropped open.

He was really far behind - he only had an E in OWLs, and he had never attended an advanced class, let alone a certificate.

As for the publication of related publications... well, I can only say that apart from his research on Dementors, his knowledge of magic has basically not increased over the years.

"That's all I can say. If your friend plans to apply, I suggest he learn more about Professor Binns' preferences. That may be helpful." After all, it was a relationship with the board of directors, so Andrew added.

He is not responsible for the interview and he doesn't have any more information.

"It's like this, I...I still have...can I..."

It was the first time Sirius had done such a thing, and he was filled with ashamed and lowered his head. If Harry hadn't tied him up, he would have wanted to rush out.

???

Don't ruin my reputation!
I'm planning to practice Transfiguration well, so it'll be fine if these Galleons are enough. If that doesn't work, I can just borrow some more from the Astronomy Tower!
"Please leave, Mr. Black. The professors of the school are there to teach and educate people. Even if I take it without fear of death, Headmaster Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall will not give me any preferential treatment for it."

???

This is different from what was promised!

Sirius stared at Andrew, Andrew stared at Sirius, and in the end, Sirius was defeated.

"Oh, sorry, I was thinking too much..."

After apologizing, Sirius almost ran away, leaving Andrew with a confused look on his face.

Is this the Sirius who is known as the first Death Eater? No... this is too far-fetched.

When Professor McGonagall came over, Andrew immediately started to report it - he didn't dare to get involved in anything like accepting bribes.

"Want to be a History of Magic professor?"

Professor McGonagall's eyes widened, as if she had heard something strange. "Isn't this a Polyjuice Potion prank?"

“It doesn’t seem to be…”

Andrew was also a little unsure.

The professor thought for a moment, "No, I can't give it to him. Although his current grades in History of Magic are not outstanding, it is a required course after all. If he wants to be a Divination professor... No, Divination is not an option..."

If it were last year, she might have hesitated and given the course to each of them - half is no big deal, they are all scammers anyway, one or two are the same.

But things were different this year. Even if the Divination professor was not very knowledgeable, he at least knew a little bit. But Sirius... Professor McGonagall didn't remember him getting a high score.

"Which class do you think would be better for him? If the school board knew about this, they would definitely make room for him. You should know this, Taylor."

Not even Professor McGonagall could say that Hogwarts didn't have rubbish classes - Divination and Defence Against the Dark Arts, for example.

Even to be more strict, including History of Magic, the quality of Professor Binns' classes is really poor.

But the problem now is that the school board has to give face - the Black family's large-scale donations are not for one or two years, but for many generations...

"Intern teaching assistant... interview with those people, and then be responsible for managing students?"

Normally the school doctor and health care are for such people who cannot be saved, but the school doctor at Hogwarts is of utmost importance and cannot be diluted.

Although the divination class has some placement attributes (Andrew learned about the reason why the divination professor joined the school from other people in the office, and he is quite familiar with this), at least the professor is in line with the major.

"Intern teaching assistant?"

"Yes, about giving them an extra quota. Professor Binns is not on vacation now, so if you can, bring them out, if you can't, then... well, let's think about it. Anyway, I'll give you my opinion when the school board asks..."

Defense Against the Dark Arts is suitable, after all, he is the former strongest Death Eater. But it is definitely not okay - the board of directors will never sell out their own people, even if they are enemies, they will not play this way.

"You can consider sending Blake's application to the school board first, so that they don't have to worry about it..."

Professor McGonagall nodded, "Okay, go and get some rest."
