Chapter 670 Vacation and Construction

When the holiday came, the whole Hogwarts was plunged into joy, even the fifth years whose future was uncertain were no exception.

As for the seventh grade students, they had already left school early one after another. Even those who were left had already planned their graduation trips or did not need to consider work at all.

"You're coming, aren't you, Taylor?"

Roger, with a happy look on his face, invited Andrew - he was in the minority as he planned to get married after graduation.

This is not strange in the wizarding world. Although it is not so exaggerated, the Weasley family and the Potter family are similar.

Andrew looked at the date on the invitation hesitantly. Although his relationship with Roger was not very good, they were in the hospital team every day and had quite a lot of contact with each other. In theory, he should send his blessings.

However, the time is really stuck in the second round of negotiations. Although it seems very likely that there will be changes, it is obviously something that cannot be ignored.

The key point is that the reason cannot be revealed because it is a strictly confidential project.

"I'm sorry, Roger, I'm not sure if I'll be available that day, but I'll prepare a signed gift and give it out in public."

He said it solemnly with some apology.

There was a hint of regret on Roger's face. He rolled his eyes and seemed to want to say something, but he finally held back.

"Thank you very much, Taylor. I am very much looking forward to that gift."

He expressed his gratitude with a smile, and after a few pleasantries, he said goodbye and prepared to invite the rest of the people - if he didn't take this opportunity to finish it, many people would have gone traveling abroad when the wedding was held.

"Well, once again, I wish you a happy wedding in advance."

Andrew gave a smile and blessings. After all, he was the captain of his own team, so he had to give him face.

"That guy Roger is really fast."

Hal sighed, then looked at Andrew, his tone a little uncertain, "I suspect he wanted to change the time, but in the end he didn't have the heart to do it."

"Don't talk nonsense, or you might be ostracized by the school team," Andrew reminded Hal in a low voice, but he was still unsure.

But it doesn't matter. As long as you don't ask him to be a witness or best man, it's none of your business.

"You really aren't going back for vacation this time?"

"Not going back for now," Andrew sighed, "Anyway, in theory I should have taken the college entrance examination and received the admission letter. I just found out when I was free today looking up information. I have to prepare and stay in school to take care of some things."

Yes, the British secondary school system is five years, and although the timing of OWLs and the British college entrance examination is not quite the same, the years match - in other words, the requirements for the advanced classes are actually worthy of university status, except that the school system is a bit shorter.

Learning from the lessons of last year, he decided to make preparations well, communicate with the Ministry of Magic, and get a real university admission letter, and study Chinese at the same time, just to make sure he can explain it when he returns.

If the Ministry of Magic can't handle it, then I'll reconsider and just get a job - but it's hard to report this way, so I'll have to see what the Ministry of Magic says first.

"That's a shame," Hal shook his head. "I thought we could go back together."

"I can't help it, but I'll come play with you guys when I have time during the summer vacation. I'm on duty this time, so I have time off."

Andrew nodded and said with certainty.

One benefit of being an intern professor is that he doesn't have to be on duty all the time. Unlike an office assistant, he can take two more weeks off. Even on weekdays, the access control at Hogwarts is not so strict for him. He can even stay out all night, but he has never used it. However, it is indeed freer than living on campus.

"That's great. Please help me check my grades. If they are too bad, please come to me as soon as possible!"

Hal added, then quickly went back to pack his things; he had no time to waste before the morning train.

-

"Are you really planning to get a diploma from another university?"

After the students left the deserted campus, Dumbledore strolled to Professor McGonagall's office and sat opposite Andrew who was processing documents there.

"Probably. Not too good, but not too bad either." Andrew habitually took out some snacks from the drawer and handed them over. "I talked to the logistics department of the Ministry of Magic. They said that the top ones are difficult to handle because they are afraid that there will be too many loopholes. But the slightly worse ones can be handled."

I can't communicate this to Dumbledore. After all, Hogwarts doesn't issue graduation certificates - all the British wizards graduated from here, so why would they issue any certificates?

To be more precise, a NEWTs certificate is enough to prove that you have graduated from Hogwarts. Some jobs even only require a Hogwarts high school diploma and OWLs certificate. Andrew understands that Dumbledore is not very clear about the purpose of this certificate.

"At least let Mammy know that I'm studying seriously. I'm in contact with them and hope that the Ministry of Magic Logistics Department can help me find a university with strict management but no telephone."

"You really are," Dumbledore shook his head, but his face was very happy, "But it's okay, after all, the Statute of Secrecy only makes an exception for direct blood relatives, and your honor deserves special treatment from the Ministry of Magic."

"Anyway, I'm in trouble over there. By the way, Professor, have you confirmed the new time for the second meeting?"

"Not yet. After all, the last news was a little too strange."

Dumbledore shook his head. "But in any case, the spacecraft should be in Hogwarts. Construction will begin in a week at the latest. They will come to Hogwarts to deal with it after they finish their own school affairs."

???

Wait, my vacation...

Andrew thought about it. Just five days?
No, Principal, I got promoted. Is a five-day vacation reasonable?

Besides, I don’t look like a prospective college student who just finished his exams. No good person would become a slave in college!
"Contact the professors at the university. I remember there is a famous herbalist holding a position in their botanical department. You should know that herbology has a close relationship with Muggles."

Well, that is clear, but Professor...

Andrew looked at Dumbledore in confusion, thinking that the headmaster was well prepared.

"Let him explain. You applied for the Department of Botany in college, and then tell him that the professor helped you study ahead of time. You had excellent grades, so you started working ahead of time for the scholarship."

!!!

Andrew was now quite sure that Dumbledore had not initiated the conversation rashly, but had arranged everything before Andrew even tried to resolve the problem.

What about trust between people, professor!

I am a professor now, you can’t be like this!
He looked at Dumbledore with a helpless look on his face, "One week's holiday, or I will go on strike, Professor."

"Deal, I'll give you another week after the work is finished."
