Chapter 210 Professor McGonagall's Hesitation

"Become a professor? Didn't you discuss with the Minister about giving the Ministry of Magic a sinecure?"

As letters were sent out, the school directors learned the news about Sirius, and then they passed the news to each other and complained that Sirius was indeed a mess.

Go to the Ministry of Magic and create an image of a tragic hero, operate it, become a director in a few years, and then play the emotional card to make a name for yourself. Fudge probably won't be in the rank later, but it's not impossible to consider becoming the Minister of Magic after another term.

At that time, even if everyone’s efforts were not rewarded, at least they did not lose money, right?
The experience gained from spending so many years in Azkaban is now ready to be cashed in, but becoming a professor? It's not that it can't be cashed in. The school board will help, and it's not impossible to queue up to become the principal.

The problem is that Dumbledore is only over a hundred years old. He was so legendary when he was young, and he even knew the maker of the Philosopher's Stone. Even if he doesn't live to be over 300 years old as the previous headmaster, and retires at 200, and McGonagall takes over for another 50 or 60 years, it will be a long time before you can be the headmaster!
Good-for-nothing! No wonder your Black family is getting worse and worse!

But even if they are not capable, they still have to be helped - put yourself in their shoes, as a school director they don't have much power, and when the principal becomes powerful they will be suppressed even more severely. The only benefit they get is that they can use the school's magical discoveries and make some good friends. It's okay to fight and kill when they are young, but there are only a few of them now, so we have to give a hand, especially the Black family with a long history.

When your own children are down, you need someone to help them...

After a discussion, except for some directors who chose to remain silent, the rest of the directors basically agreed that Sirius should be the professor of History of Magic - if he is not capable enough, he can just teach the first grade, just to coax the children. Create another position, the salary will be raised by adding some investment next year, and the newcomer will take over other grades.

-

"It's not impossible to be a first-year professor. During the internship this year, I'm afraid it won't work. Let the professor who applied for the position help keep an eye on it..."

Professor McGonagall sighed - although Sirius was an absolutely trustworthy person, it was really...

Just treat it as taking care of a first grader... Even if there is nothing new, it's fine to just read the textbook verbatim...

"Send the documents to Albus. He needs to draft and sign the letter of appointment..."

Perhaps because she was tired, Professor McGonagall lowered her head and was too lazy to say anything more.

But before Andrew could take a few steps, Professor McGonagall stopped him and said, "Then try it out first to see how the students react. If it works, you can arrange for him to teach first-year students. If not, switch to Transfiguration. His Transfiguration skills are definitely good enough to teach first-year students. He can even become a full professor after a few years of practice."

???

Good Transfiguration?
Professor, are you sure? He was the first Death Eater back then - oh, yes, he knows Animagus, well, that's really impressive, it won't be a problem for him to teach first graders.

Perhaps it was Andrew's recollection that made Professor McGonagall feel that he was making a comparison, so she added, "Very strong. In those years, Black and his friends were the best in Transfiguration. When they graduated, they were even stronger than you are now."

"Okay, don't think about that. Just practice your spells well. Also, inform Albus of my intention. Don't prepare a letter of appointment yet. Just give a few experimental classes. Also...you and Percy go see how the first-year students react and let me know when you come back."

"I?"

Andrew's eyes widened - No, should I be responsible for evaluating new professors?
This was extremely outrageous. Forget about the history of magic. Even for Transfiguration, which Andrew thought was not bad, he didn't dare to think about testing the professor for such an outrageous thing.

"Albus and I cannot deny it. The Board of Directors needs a buffer, and Professor Binns can't do it either. He..." The professor hesitated for a moment, "He is more focused on academic research..."

understood.

Although Professor McGonagall's words were very tactful, Andrew understood. If Professor Binns knew that Sirius didn't even have the qualifications, he would definitely refuse to let him in and kick him out. That would be too embarrassing...

Why not just switch to Transfiguration? Blake is good enough at Transfiguration anyway...

Forehead…

Andrew suddenly figured out something - so what Professor McGonagall meant was that unless Sirius was extremely bad in the history of magic, she didn't want to take him in to ruin his reputation. So, professor, even Animagus is not okay?
Isn't it too much to ask of a professor of Transfiguration?

However, there was no way to complain about this, as Andrew said goodbye, turned around, and trotted towards Dumbledore's office.

-

"you sure?"

Percy stared at Andrew with wide eyes.

The day that just passed was Halloween, not April Fools' Day, so it's really weird to play a joke like this!

"Most certain, Percy."

Andrew sighed, "No doubt we will be put on the new professor's notebook. Assessing professors... is really an amazing challenge."

"This is really amazing. I feel like I'm going to be targeted..."

Percy was in a state of disarray.

"Who isn't?"

Andrew sighed. He was still dizzy when he came out of Professor McGonagall's office. He felt terrible after he went to Dumbledore's office to submit the documents and Professor McGonagall's suggestions.

This is not just a general rebellion. Their reputation will never recover after they do this. How will the other professors look at these two unlucky guys?
Those who knew understood that they were taking the blame, while those who didn’t thought that these two students were planning a rebellion.

Andrew could now imagine the devilish sarcasm of the mean Professor Snape - things had finally gotten a little better this semester, but that good atmosphere was probably going to be gone forever.

As for my own dean's office, I'm afraid I don't need to go there anymore - I've completely joined Gryffindor, and it's only the dean's kindness that allows me to return to the tower.

What’s more important is the students’ side. If you dare to investigate the professor today, you will dare to expel the students tomorrow - ah, they have already been expelled, then you are doomed.

But now that things have come to this, can I still pretend to be sick and not go?
"I'll take some time. Andrew, go and inform our... Professor Black."

Percy looked a little flustered and passed the buck to Andrew.

Andrew was too lazy to score - it would be a success if the reputation could improve after the Christmas holiday. It would be fine as long as he communicated with the so-called Professor Black.

-

"I'm afraid I won't be able to learn History of Magic. I might as well try Transfiguration... Fortunately, my skills are still there..."

In the ward, Sirius asked Madam Pomfrey to get some ready-made textbooks to review his knowledge.

The threshold for History of Magic was too high, and after thinking about the knowledge he had mastered, he decided to make an intensive effort on Transfiguration. Thanks to his hard work in practicing Animagus Transfiguration, his Transfiguration grades were among the best, and he had a certificate, so perhaps he could get a Transfiguration position.

Defense Against the Dark Arts is no good - the danger is fine, but the key is that Harry won't allow it.
