Chapter 236: Penelope
After the previous day's competition and celebrations, the students all looked listless, but the professors showed enough tolerance to keep the hourglass of the record of the house score too few gems. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Fortunately, it's Friday, and after surviving this day, it's the weekend, so you can take a good rest, I really don't know if the Ministry of Magic can read the calendar when arranging the Triwizard Tournament? Although a warrior can skip an exam, it doesn't mean that a warrior can skip class casually! Deal with the fire dragon the day before, and deal with the professor the next day......
Anyway, on Saturday, in the face of the excited Hogwarts students, Darren said that he wanted to be alone and asked Harry to borrow the invisibility cloak, of course, he would not tell the other party that he was going to Hogsmeade through the tunnels, because he was going to meet someone there, and he wrote a letter to the other party a few days ago, and only agreed on the time yesterday.
When Darren came to the door of Duke Honey's candy store as agreed, that person was already waiting for him, Penelope Crivat, the former Ravenclaw prefect, like Darren and Hermione, she was also a wizard from an ordinary background, and when the "Slytherin heirs" made trouble, Darren also contacted her to follow the children of other ordinary families to defend against the attack of the basilisk, but unfortunately she did not dodge and was petrified.
Darren knew that Penelope and Percy had been together before, but since Percy went to the Ministry of Magic, he hadn't heard him talk about their relationship, so he must have separated.
"Hello, Kerryvat," Darren greeted Penelope softly, apparently bewildered by his cloak, looking around for the source of the sound.
"I'm to your left, cloaked in invisibility. ”
"Cloak of Invisibility, no wonder," Penelope was worthy of being from Ravenclaw, and quickly regained his composure after hearing Darren's words, "No wonder, I didn't see any other Hogwarts students here, it's not Hogsmeade Weekend, is it?" ”
"Yes, and I'm moving now, and it's a bit of a hassle," Darren whispered, "maybe we should go for a walk, it's a little strange for someone like you to stand and talk to the air." ”
"Ah, good," Penelope nodded, turned and walked slowly, "I heard, the Goblet of Fire chose you to be the warrior of Hogwarts, and you also broke through Professor Dumbledore's age line, it's amazing, even if I don't graduate, I won't be better than you!"
"Hey, that's unlucky, I just wanted to play a joke with Fred and George, but I ended up making myself a warrior, I really don't know how to choose the Goblet of Fire, is Hogwarts so bad. ”
"......" Sure enough, the first reaction of everyone who heard Darren say this was not to believe it.
"Okay, we're not here to talk about me today, do you agree with what I mentioned to you in the letter?"
Hearing Darren's question, Penelope frowned, "I still can't believe it, you really have opened a company and plan to hire me to work for you?"
Because of the cloak of invisibility, no matter how much Darren rolled his eyes, the other party couldn't see it, "Of course, even if you don't believe me, you should always believe the Gringotts check sent with the letter, it's not fake." ”
Penelope paused, "That's why I decided to come to see you, but why did you hire me? I'm a recent graduate and have no work experience at all." ”
"You've not had a good time during this time, have you?"
Penelope didn't answer, but it was easy to see that she was originally very beautiful with long brown curls and wheat-colored skin, and a pair of smart big eyes, but now she looked tired and helpless between her eyebrows, and in just a few months, it seemed like she had aged a few years.
After graduating from Hogwarts, it is not easy for Penelope, who was born in an ordinary family, to find a job in the wizarding world, because it is full of wizarding families, but it is not the second generation of officials, the second generation of rich, that is from the N generation, this is not counting, in the wizarding world, a large number of businesses are controlled by the family, the most typical is Ollivander who is a wand, he has been a wand for more than 2,000 years, and even Voldemort has bought a wand from him, and he has been selling it for many years, but he has not seen any apprentices.
Therefore, for a young wizard like Penelope, who has just entered the wizarding world, there are very few choices, only jobs such as bookstore clerks, bar attendants, or freelance jobs such as small traders and vendors, or you have to be like Darren, or twins, and find a way to toss by yourself, otherwise there is no good opportunity, of course, except for marrying a good family, but unfortunately, those big families are all about blood......
Since it's not easy to get mixed up, what if you leave the wizarding world? I've seen the charm of magic, can you let go of this temptation and go back to the world of ordinary people? According to the wizarding secrecy law, the content of what you study at Hogwarts cannot be revealed to ordinary people, so the only official document you can use to prove your academic qualifications is a primary school diploma! With this education, you can find a good job......
Therefore, Hogwarts, a thief ship, is not easy for ordinary children to get on the ship, and they really have to be talented, but it is extremely difficult to get off the ship, and the two ends are unreliable.
Obviously, Penelope is now in this embarrassing situation, think about it, being a prefect in Ravenclaw is naturally an outstanding figure, to do a job like a waiter, learning so many spells is not in vain, definitely unwilling, but to go home to find a job, with a primary school diploma is also very difficult, how to face the family? So, at this time, the invitation that Darren sent to her was very tempting.
Of course, the Gringotts cheque sent with the letter also played a very important role, otherwise Darren was really worried that Penelope would think that someone was joking, and that graduates could not find jobs, so how could students be able to open a company.
"But, I've just graduated from Hogwarts and don't have any work experience yet, so what are you going me to do?"
"You've passed the illusion exam, right?"
"Of course," Penelope said, and it was only then that her face regained a little of its former glow, perhaps reminiscing back to the good days when she was at school, when she had just to study.
"Very well, in that short time, I need you to dress up as me and teach me at Hogwarts. ”
"What?!" A look of surprise appeared on Penelope's face, "Let me replace you, it's impossible, isn't it?"
"Yes, Polyjuice Decoction. ”
"But why did you leave school?"
"Because, there's a big deal to be done. ”
