Chapter 308: Assessment of the New Professor
Madam Nina is not a Hogwarts graduate.

She was a graduate of Beauxbatons—but not French.

Andrew was very clear that she was not a graduate of Hogwarts - because the reaction of Hogwarts students when they saw Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore would definitely not be the above.

As for her grandfather, old Martin, Dumbledore said he had heard of him, but he was not in a position to ask about the details now.

The key question now is whether to agree to let Ms. Nina stay, and the headmaster and others mean to keep her, but try not to rely on Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Although it is true that Hogwarts is in need of professors for this subject, it is really too much to bring in the family members of the victims of a case suspected to be caused by the previous professor to be professors of such a dangerous subject.

It's as if they can't handle the problem, so they deal with the person who raised the problem.

"Leaving aside Professor Lockhart's matter, Ms. Nina, is there anything you are good at?"

Although theoretically the two principals should handle it, since neither of them took any action, Andrew had no choice but to do it himself.

"I'm pretty good at Transfiguration, Charms are pretty good, Defense Against the Dark Arts is passable, and I know a little bit about Herbs and Potions, but that's just some common sense for adventures."

Nina thought about it and said it with certainty.

"Only this?"

"These are probably the only things I'm good at. For the rest, I can only say that I barely got the certificates. I did get quite a few certificates in the assessments in the sixth grade."

'Sixth grade assessment, no problem, this is how it is in Beauxbatons, sixth graders take OWLs exams, this is what the documentation says.'

"Sorry, what about the relevant certificates?"

That being said, it still needs to be strictly verified. This is a professor's job, and most wizards have to go through a formal procedure - after all, he is from another school.

Of course, if Mr. Nick suddenly decided to come and take a class, Andrew promised to arrange his accommodation and treatment without saying anything. Unfortunately, this is something he can only think about.

"The certificate is still at home and I can provide it within a week if needed."

"That's good. So, Ms. Nina, we can make an exception and test you in Transfiguration and Charms. If you meet the standards, you can enter Hogwarts as a trainee professor."

Andrew glanced at the two headmasters tentatively, and both Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall nodded slightly.

There is a natural difference between throwing Galleons at a professor and informing him of the risks before letting him take the job and letting a lady who is not aware of the problem take the job - of course, the main reason is that Professor Lockhart's legacy caused the principals to give some slack where they could help.

"Transfiguration and spells," Nina said with a more serious expression, "No problem, I have confidence in myself in this area."

Andrew looked at Dumbledore - Headmaster, part of the problem has been solved, let's get started.

But neither Professor McGonagall nor Dumbledore reacted. To be exact, they looked like they were just watching a show.

"Well, let's do a basic test."

Andrew sighed - then he would test the moisture first.

"you?"

"Yes, I'll do it. At least you have to beat me. Come over here, please."

-

Ms. Nina's eyes changed from the previous firmness to a little confused - no, it was strange for a student to do the previous things, but it still made sense.

After all, there were many strange things happening in Beauxbatons, so it was not surprising to see an extremely capable student assistant appear occasionally.

But now to test her strength with a student who looked like he wasn't even in fifth grade?
What a joke, she is an orthodox adventurer after all. She has also been taught by her grandfather while studying at school. If her family hadn't been urging her to get married, she would have received more comprehensive guidance.

"But after so much effort, we finally achieved some results, but..." She shook her head and put aside the unnecessary emotion - this was a taboo in taking risks.

Similarly, although the student in front of him looks young, he may have mastered dark magic knowledge that other students cannot even imagine when they graduate before entering the school. It would be really difficult to test him then.

With caution, she drew her wand and gently made her way to the outer area before being stopped in the corridor.

The student known as Taylor was standing in the hallway, wand drawn.

With a wave of the magic wand, the solid corridor began to turn over, the bricks and stones melted, the soil floated, and then mixed together, rolling at a very fast speed - a small swamp that was neither long nor wide appeared above the swamp.

"Please eliminate this swamp, one way or another."

The boy named Taylor put away his wand and spoke casually.

'Are you kidding me? That's it?'

She suspected that the other party was joking - shouldn't it be a battle or knowledge test?
When she was in there, she was actually a little worried - because she had not prepared the theoretical knowledge, if she was tested, it would be easy to have problems.

But rich practical experience may make up for it.

But that was definitely not something that could be replaced by a small swamp - she turned to look at Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall, questioning with her eyes whether such a test was reasonable.

But the man who often appears at the Chocolate Frog just smiled and nodded kindly, as if to say that such testing is allowed.

'Look down on people...'

Such a thought emerged, but was quickly suppressed by the adventurer's caution.

Since it appears, there must be a reason for its appearance. Maybe there is some trap or magical creature hidden inside.

She raised her wand, and after confirming that the other party had no intention of attacking, she directly used the most basic elimination spell.

But, nothing happened.

The spell went in, causing some of the black water from the swamp to splash out.

No more, nothing left.

Then, there was a thunderous explosion - but still nothing happened, except that some mud and water splashed out again.

...

Nina swore that she had experienced the most embarrassing five minutes of her life.

As a student looked on, she used every nullifying and offensive spell she was familiar with - but to no avail.

Even her most powerful spell, Ten Thousand Curses, was still useless in front of the swamp.

It was as if it existed naturally - no, if it was a natural spell, the raging flames would have dried it up, but nothing happened on the swamp.

He looked up at the other person, then turned around and looked at the two principals behind him.

Nina began to try her hand at Transfiguration.

But this time it was even more miserable - her Transfiguration, which was always used to clear a path and could quickly clear a large area of ​​flat land, did not find any target at all.

"Sorry, I can not do it."

After a long silence, she lowered her head.
