Chapter 500: Return to the Castle
"That's right, it's me!" Jon Hart walked in with a smile on his face.
Astoria's cottage was no stranger to him, and he had been here several times before.
However, the previous times, when they were still worried about Astoria's blood curse, the atmosphere and emotions were very tense, far from being as relaxed and comfortable as they are now.
At least that's the case for Astoria Greengrass. Now that the curse in her soul has completely disappeared, her beloved has suddenly become the youngest headmaster of Hogwarts, and her mother, who was trapped in Azkaban, has returned...... Everything is getting better, or better again.
"You should rest more!" Jon said with a smile as he stroked the pale blonde hair on Astoria's forehead, "Look at how tired you look now......
Astoria blinked, took a mirror out of the drawer, and after looking at herself, she couldn't help but pout.
"That's not going to work. She shook her head: "I missed a lot of very important classes before, if I don't work hard,. The LS exam results would be terrible......"
“...... My sister got an O (Excellent) and three E's (Good) last year, and I must not be worse than her!"
As she spoke, the girl clenched her little fists in a cheering manner.
"Come on!" Jon cheered her on, "You can take ten O's!"
"You're making fun of me again......"
. The results of the LS exam (General Wizard Rank Exam) are extremely important for most wizarding families. Under normal circumstances, this achievement will affect a young wizard's career plan and future development. Astoria, who grew up in a wizarding family, was certainly influenced by this concept.
Of course, Jon disagreed, believing that it was more important to learn something than to get a few certificates...... In fact, after the order to expel him from Hogwarts was issued, his student career was over.
......
In the room, Astoria was chatting with Jon while reading a book.
For example, with the . LS exams are approaching, and there are some "interesting" situations for fifth-graders -
Madeleine of Slytherin became a little nervous as the exams approached, and one often muttered something to herself...... In the end, she was taken by her friend to Madam Pomfrey.
Madeleine wasn't the only one who behaved strangely. Melinda Bobin of Ravenclaw starts asking about other people's revision times and then asks a question, "...... How many hours a day can you normally review...... I studied for nine and a half hours on Monday, not so well on Tuesday — only seven hours and a quarter of an hour, and then Wednesday ...... As for me, on average, it's about eight hours a day!"
What's worse, Andrew Kirk of Gryffindor, bragged when he met people that his dad had a relationship with the head of the Wizarding Examination Board for several years, so he certainly wouldn't end up with a bad grade......
"Do you think that's the case?" Astoria asked, a little worried.
"Of course not!" Jon smiled and shook his head, "Professor Gestilda-Marchbon of the Wizarding Examination Board has been in charge of various exams in the wizarding world since the end of the 19th century, and even Professor Dumbledore was tested by her...... I haven't met yet, but I've heard that she's a very strict witch, but she's also very fair!"
Astoria looked relieved.
"You're going to stay at our house for dinner, aren't you?" she looked at Jon and blinked, "Sister's sandwich is delicious!"
"No doubt I would like to taste your sister's craft as well. Jon pinched her cheek and said, "But I'm sorry I have something else to do later!"
"Okay......" Astoria looked slightly disappointed, "for the rest of the holiday, then you must come back to see me more...... I think my sister and mother will welcome you too. ”
"That's nature!" Jon nodded nondeniably.
"Goodbye then!" Astoria pouted.
Bending down, Jon kisses Astoria goodbye.
"Goodbye!"
"Have a nice trip. ”
Then he crept out of Astoria's hut and closed her door again.
took out the ugly phoenix from his pocket and shook it vigorously:
"Fawkes, wake up...... It's time for us to go back to Hogwarts!"
......
Ten minutes later, Jon Hart reappeared at Hogwarts Castle.
Although it has only been less than half a day since I left the castle, it seems to have exploded......
"Professor Minerva-McGonagall is here, and she wants to know how you can solve the two vacant positions of Potions Teacher and Defence Against the Dark Arts Teacher in the school...... You know, the semester is just over a month away!"
"And Professor Rubeus-Hagrid, whose cabin was badly damaged in the battle not long ago, and who wants someone to help fix it...... Moreover, he also wants to put his brother in a new home. ”
"An official from the Ministry of Magic's Wizarding Examinations Authority has come to visit, saying that he wants Hogwarts to begin preparing for the .Ls General Wizarding Rank Exam in a month's time. Advanced Wizard Rank Exam ......"
Listening to the voices of the portraits, Jon sighed, "Didn't I tell you that I went to the Ministry of Magic in the morning to interrogate a group of suspected Death Eaters?"
"Of course, we said it...... But the trial was supposed to be over at eleven o'clock in the morning, and Jon, it's already a quarter past twelve o'clock in the morning!" Phineas Black said in all seriousness.
"Okay. Jon shook his head helplessly, "I think the Headmaster deserves a little bit of his personal time...... By the way, Phineas, there's a task for you!"
"Huh?" Phineas looked up curiously.
"You go and inquire...... Andrew Kirk, a fifth-year Gryffindor, look up who his father is!" Jon said solemnly.
"What's wrong with him?"
"He actually dared to spread rumors and cause the students to question the .ls ordinary wizard level exam and . The fairness of the high-level wizard level exam needs to be punished severely!" Jon said righteously.
"Okay, this is a small matter, I'll check it out now!"
Phineas vanished from the portrait, but Jon's gaze shifted to another portrait.
"Armando, please contact Professor Minerva-McGonagall now, and say I'm back at Hogwarts Castle!" Jon commanded softly.
