Chapter 56: An Interview That Satisfies Each Other
Oxford is better than Oxford (not Brogues).
This code sentence is like the 'sesame open door' in Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, the door opens, revealing the dazzling treasures inside, which is amazing.
Twenty minutes later, a middle-aged man appeared at the door of Black's old mansion.
He carried a black umbrella, dressed in a neat three-piece suit, oxford shoes, unpretentious, his face was slightly tired, but his gaze was calm and determined, as if he had traveled through time, an old-school gentleman slowly coming from the English Middle Ages.
When he knocked on the door, the knock was unhurried, revealing a polite demeanor.
This time, without waiting for Kreacher's orders, Daniel ran straight to open the door.
From this point of view, he, the owner of the Black family, really doesn't know much about the technical work of putting up a shelf. However, this is also where Sirius does not hate him.
ββ¦β¦ How's your injury doing? β
"Thank you for your concern, the potion works very well, and it's almost healed."
The three people in the living room faintly heard the conversation between the two people.
'Wounded, who?' They were a little confused, but they didn't ask.
Then, when the middle-aged Muggle man appeared in the living room, everyone couldn't help but look up at him.
The appearance looks plain, if you have to describe it, maybe a gentle and elegant scholar is more suitable?
Sirius, however, couldn't help but whisper to Remus behind him, "This Muggle looks better than Malfoy's pie." β
Remus just smiled and nodded, not echoing anything. A hint of thought flashed in his eyes, clearly curious about the vastness of Daniel's befriending.
"Harry Hart." The man bowed slightly to Dumbledore, "Come and apply." β
Despite Sirius' curiosity about the application and interview process, Daniel discouraged him from watching.
He led Headmaster Dumbledore and Mr. Hart into a small reception room on the side, beckoned Kreacher to serve them a pot of fine black tea, looked at the two of them sincerely with blue eyes, and said understandingly, "I think you need to talk a little more and get to know each other better." After all, it is not easy to find a job that suits you and find a good teacher for the young wizards. β
"You're so considerate, little Mr. Black." Headmaster Dumbledore smiled kindly and said, "Thank you so much for your help today. β
As he spoke, he couldn't hide his sharp gaze at the middle-aged man in front of him, although he looked gentle and harmless like an ordinary middle-aged man, but for Dumbledore, who had experienced two wars, he could still feel the dangerous aura that only came after experiencing killing.
But none of these are the questions Daniel considers.
He gently closed the door to the reception room, leaving room for them, and then went back to the living room.
"His name is Harry, too?" Sirius asked.
"That's right."
"Then he should be a good person." Sirius said quite simply.
Remus laughed suddenly, "If you count like that, there are a little too many good people in the world." β
"Daniel, how did you come up with the idea of recommending a Muggle to teach a class?" Sirius continued to ask suspiciously, "Let's not talk about whether the safety of Muggles can be guaranteed, the question is what can he teach?" β
"There's so much he can teach."
Daniel lazily snuggled up on the couch and replied, "As for safety, when he is fully equipped, I'm afraid there are few people who can pose a threat to his safety, so you don't have to worry about it at all." β
"I've always felt like you've been secretive." Sirius pointed out bluntly. He frowned, "You seem to be doing something somewhere we don't know." β
Daniel was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed, "Siris, your beast instincts are quite accurate. β
"So, did you really do anything behind our backs?" Sirius ignored his compliment, and instead asked curiously.
"It's not a carry." Daniel spread his hands and replied honestly, "I've been working to transform the wizarding world and make everyone's lives better, haven't you already seen that?" β
"But I always feel like there's a deeper ......," Sirius thought rarely.
"You...... Do you want Muggles and wizards to live in peace? Remus said abruptly and asked tentatively.
"Pretty much." Daniel was surprised by Remus's sensitive process, but he didn't feel the need to talk to these two people in too much detail, and just replied lightly, "The British wizarding world has been too closed in recent years, almost behind the times, even if you don't make peace with Muggles, at least you have to make a little progress...... I also did this for my father's last wish. β
"Uncle Alphard?" Sirius was stunned for a moment, and then he whispered a little sadly, "I never dared to ask, Uncle Alphad, when he died, ......"
"It's peaceful, but I don't really want to remember this, sorry."
Daniel interrupted him quickly.
Sirius was silent for a moment, then said, "I'm sorry, Daniel, I won't ask again." β
Daniel's tone softened a little, and he continued: "He always wanted me to go back to England, to his hometown. He loved the Black family to the death, even though the Black family didn't seem to have any feelings for him. β
"Not anymore." Sirius suddenly turned around and hugged Daniel warmly, "Not anymore." β
He gently patted Daniel's back with his hand, rarely like a reliable brother, carefully comforting his younger brother, he said sincerely: "Daniel, in the future, this family, there will be you, me, Remus, little Harry, and there will be more people in the future." The Black house is not what it used to be, it's going to get better, it's going to be lively, and then, you're going to be happy every day......"
"Yes." Daniel replied with a smile.
However, he thought indifferently to himself, 'But that's just the home you want, Sirius.' β
Dumbledore was undoubtedly very satisfied with the outcome of the interview.
The resume of this Mr. Harry Hart is flawless and impeccable.
Not only that, but with his wealth of learning, good upbringing, and exquisite habits, he looked like a full-fledged aristocrat, but not at all the bravado of some Slytherins. Because, his demeanor comes from the heart, and his heart is strong and firm enough.
"You should really pay me the brokerage fee." Daniel laughed and quipped, "Thanks to me, you all have your own place." β
"Yes, on behalf of the young wizards of Hogwarts, I thank you for giving them such a good teacher." Headmaster Dumbledore said with an equally gentle smile.
"You're overrated, Headmaster." Harry Hart said.
He had a calm expression on his face, no joy or anger, and only said in a flat but sincere tone: "Recruiting an ordinary person like me into the school, your courage is truly worthy of admiration. And I will do my best to teach the children in return for your appreciation. β
Headmaster Dumbledore smiled with relief, but he didn't say anything more, just turned to say goodbye to Daniel and left.
Harry Hart, who was behind him, quietly exchanged a look with Daniel, and then left calmly.
He didn't say anything the whole time, it seemed ordinary, but it was full of zΓ i, which really left a deep impression on both Sirius and Remus.
"I don't have a bad impression of this guy, but he's still a Muggle after all." Sirius said, "But seriously, I'm already expecting a big bang at Hogwarts when school starts, and I'm kind of tempted to go and watch it." β
"Daniel, be careful." Remus was also worried, saying, "It's not easy to get a Muggle to work in the wizarding world. Once the Slytherin gang of purebloods is provoked, things get complicated. He frowned, and reminded cryptically, "They may not dare to attack Headmaster Dumbledore, but they may attack you...... I mean, a direct attack ......"
"Then let them come! Although, I will remember the four words step by step, but I will not be afraid of it. β
Daniel replied disapprehantly, "There are some things that you have to do to know right or wrong." Without change, nothing will happen. Rather than sit and wait for pizza to fall from the sky, I'd rather take the first step. β
The SMS prompt sounded abruptly.
Daniel subconsciously glanced at the screen, it was a phone number he didn't recognize.
He opened his inbox nonchalantly: [The Black Building in Diagon Alley is really well built, do you want to rebuild it once?] I'll be waiting for you on the top floor of the building. ByJim.]
βDammitοΌοΌβ Daniel jumped up from the couch so hard that his leg hit the coffee table with a loud noise.
"What happened?" Sirius was startled.
"If you need help...... Lupin also hurriedly stood up.
"No, no, no, neither." Daniel made a big cross on his chest with his arm, "I'll do this myself." β
He trotted all the way upstairs, and then plunged headlong into his bedroom, only to hear the sound of ping-pong upstairs, and then he rushed out with a menacing attitude.
"Wait, wait, what's that on your shoulder?" Sirius and Lupin stared at him dumbfounded.
Daniel stopped and turned his head, "Machine gun, hmm...... In your words, my wand! β
He blinked his blue eyes and raised his chin, "How's that, cool?" β
Then, without waiting for the two of them to answer, he directly migrated to Diagon Alley.
