This is what Ravenclaw looks like..

Chapter 309 Onboarding
For a stubborn and proactive wizard, failure is truly a shame.

Giving up is a greater shame.

But Andrew couldn't help it - he had let in enough water.

This Ms. Nina just happened to talk about Hogwarts' strong subjects - the weakness of Defense Against the Dark Arts was already uncomfortable enough for the school, and it was impossible for them to let down the professor.

The opportunity he was able to get as an exception was already the limit. If these two subjects were taught by a low-level professor, it would be irresponsible to all students.

'Transfiguration can be broken by someone of higher skill or a sufficiently powerful spell, but the other party has neither of these criteria.'

He shook his head.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Nina, I'm afraid you're not good enough in the subjects to be a trainee professor."

Andrew was extremely serious. "But as for Defense Against the Dark Arts, I personally strongly discourage you. Please think about it again. We will investigate Professor Lockhart's matter carefully and encourage others to pay attention to this matter."

"Then I'm going to try Defense Against the Dark Arts."

She was still extremely stubborn.

In other words, anyone who could come here from the remote place that Professor Lockhart had found would definitely not be someone who would give up easily.

"Then you must sign a confidentiality agreement to ensure that the news you heard will not be leaked. If you can accept and pass the assessment, then you can consider the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."

"it is good."

She was so determined that Andrew didn't even have time to look at the two principals for advice.

"Well then - Taylor, check your surroundings again and bring a confidentiality agreement."

Soon, Andrew came over with the confidentiality agreement and checked the security around the office - although it was theoretically unnecessary, it was still done.

……

"That's about it. The curse that's widely circulated in the outside world does exist, and its power varies. Its effects are also bizarre. But it's certain that, so far, no professor has served for more than a year."

Professor McGonagall briefly introduced the fate of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professors over the years. "There have even been two deaths, but the intervals were long. The most recent one was at the end of the school year before last. Then there was the last professor, Professor Lockhart. He is still in the hospital and has lost most of his memory."

"Does Lockhart know about these things, too?"

After a while of thinking, Ms. Nina suddenly asked an irrelevant question.

"Professor Lockhart?"

Professor McGonagall was stunned for a moment, "Yes, no doubt every job applicant will know this before joining the company."

"How can it be…"

Nina made a sound of incredible surprise, but Andrew could indeed understand why she was like that.

A wizard suspected of stealing memories suddenly risks his life to become a professor—and he has no shortage of money at all!

"I think I understand. If he knows everything but still takes office, he really deserves such respect - not allowing people to touch his things casually."

She thought for a moment, then turned to Andrew, "Excuse me, Mr. Taylor, may I know if anyone is planning to touch Professor Lockhart's things?"

"Yes, but there were several scammers. The only one who could provide legal identification was the publisher of his original book. They wanted to look for his unfinished manuscripts, but I rejected their request."

Andrew shook his head. “This reason doesn’t convince me.”

"If he can take this risk to teach students, then I can too," Nina said seriously. "If I don't even have the courage he has, then why should I investigate? I'll just wait for the results."

"As for the curse, aren't there professors who had to resign for some reason without anything happening? I want to try it - but I hope that the possible ways to avoid it that have been proposed will be implemented."

"There's no doubt about that - but we have to conduct a necessary test." Not everyone can become one if they want to. It can't be worse than a student studying on their own, right?
At least you need to have enough common sense and unique insights to convince parents.

However, the test in this area was easy - as long as the content of the old textbook was mentioned, Ms. Nina could easily answer the above content, and even give some tips and give adventurous examples.

To be honest, Andrew felt that she was more of a professional adventurer than Professor Lockhart.

But considering the reality, this kind of praise might be an insult to her.

"My opinion is that the assessment has been passed."

Dumbledore expressed his opinion directly after the last question.

Professor McGonagall nodded. "Without a doubt."

But Andrew, who was just watching the show, found that three pairs of eyes were staring at him at the same time - what a joke, wasn’t the initial assessment a joke?
You want my opinion now? I'm just a student!
But Ms. Nina - no, Professor Nina's eyes became serious.

"Well, although I don't think I'm needed, I don't have any opinion."

"Well, very good."

Dumbledore smiled, "Without a doubt, everyone on our side has passed!"

Don't make such jokes, Principal!
"Then you will be responsible for Ms. Nina Martin's employment and a series of confusing curse measures, Taylor. By the way, you know about the notification letters from the Examination Authority and the Board of Directors, as well as the confirmation of the new textbooks, right?"

Dumbledore tried to appear to be enjoying his work even as he joked.

"But Headmaster, I was the one who hired Hagrid. I was the one who hired him!"

Although he complained in his heart, Andrew nodded to indicate that 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 affable."

The principal might not have gone too far, and it was not appropriate to say these things before he started working, so Andrew chose not to say anything strange.

"So, I can use my office now, right?"

"It will take some 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 out."

……

"It is possible, but only after everything is done."

The Defense Against the Dark Arts, no, the Anti-Dark Arts professor naturally has access to the previous office.

Although he did not bring this up, the other party already knew it - the other party was not stupid, she would have thought of it even without him mentioning it.

There was no other way. Andrew sighed, "As for Professor Lockhart's belongings, they are still sealed and no one has the right to touch them."

"Okay, I'll remember that."

Professor Nina nodded, "Well, I can't wait any longer, let's start the onboarding process."
