Chapter 125: Dumbledore Arrives

However, Dumbledore apparently didn't want him to be idle, and he sent a letter to Ios, asking him to be the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts for the new school year.

Although he already knew that Dumbledore was a meritocracy headmaster, he had only graduated from Hogwarts not long ago, so where did he have the qualifications to become a school teacher?

Although he was more than capable of it, seniority was still an unavoidable hurdle, especially when Dumbledore was being closely watched by the Ministry of Magic, which would obviously give the Ministry an excuse to attack.

Of course, even without these excuses, the Ministry of Magic would still be at odds with Dumbledore and Hogwarts. He vaguely remembered that the Ministry of Magic had sent a witch who looked like a toad to Hogwarts as a High Inquisitor or something.

That toad had done a lot of mess at Hogwarts this school year, and it had caused panic among both the teachers and the students.

And the reason why Dumbledore wanted to appoint him as a teacher at Hogwarts may have been motivated by the idea of protecting the students, after all, he himself was not suitable to come forward.

But the point is that he is not suitable, the reason why the old toad was a demon at Hogwarts and the professors did not stop her is because as Hogwarts teachers, they can't openly confront the Ministry of Magic, that will only make the situation worse.

In the same way, if he is hired as a teacher, he can't do this, he can only help the students in secret, which doesn't make much sense.

As a result, Ios wrote back to Dumbledore.

However, it was clear that Dumbledore was not the kind of person who would give up easily, and he quickly took a new step after receiving Ios's reply, and he personally ran to Ios' home.

That's right, he went straight to the fireplace in Ios' house through Floo. This fireplace was specially built by him for the convenience of travel, and I basically never used it, but I didn't expect it to come in handy for the first time or to facilitate others to come here.

Seeing that the fireplace in his living room suddenly lit up with a green flame, and then soon Dumbledore's figure came out of it, Ios was not good.

Isn't it just a teacher's position? Is there such a shortage of people, isn't it good to find someone directly?

"Welcome, Professor Dumbledore." Despite his helplessness, he closed the book in his hand and greeted the old man.

"Ah, Mr. Sovor. It was rude to come over without saying hello in advance. Patting the dust on his robe, Dumbledore had an apologetic smile on his face.

"It's okay, just don't do this next time." Although he didn't care very much, he still reminded him in advance.

"No, no, I'm just in a bit of a hurry this time. Speaking of which, why didn't you see your grandparents? Dumbledore waved his hand, then looked around and asked.

"They went on a trip, saying they wanted to walk around while they were still well."

"Ah, I envy them." Dumbledore sat down as he spoke, a look of envy on his face.

"Then you can also take advantage of your lack of travel to have a look, and you are so old, shouldn't you retire and think about Qingfu." Ios poured him a cup of black tea, then pouted and suggested.

"Retirement, I may not have that blessing." Dumbledore smiled reluctantly, a rare hint of gloom on his face.

Ios could probably guess what was going on, so he didn't say anything more, and the living room fell into a silent atmosphere.

Dumbledore quickly adjusted his mood, and returned to his usual faint smiling expression, he took a sip of black tea, revealing a surprised look: "The black tea you brewed is really good!"

"Thanks for the compliment. Let's stop going around in circles and say okay, you won't come to me for the teacher's business, will you? "I don't think Dumbledore should have made a trip for such a trivial matter, but I think there should be nothing else to do.

"Speaking of which, I did come to you for this." Seeing Ios' puzzled face, he explained, "You also know that the school's Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers can work for a year at most, and then they can't continue to do it for various reasons. ”

Ios nodded, of course he knew about it, it is said that Voldemort also tried to get this position back then but failed, so he cursed this position. Regardless of whether this statement is true or not, it is true that no one can work for more than a year.

Past Defence Against the Dark Arts teachers have either lacked talent or had problems of their own, so they have generally lost their positions at the end of the school year.

"No one wants to be a teacher of this course this year, and I haven't received a cover letter until now." Dumbledore had a distressed expression, it was clear that this matter had been bothering him for a long time.

"Isn't there Professor Snape, I remember he always wanted the position, didn't he?" Ios was not moved by his troubled expression, and directly made a suggestion.

"It's not like Snape can't do it, but... And, if he was a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, what about Potions? Dumbledore didn't explain the exact reason, but found another reason.

"Then there's no need to look for me, on the one hand, I don't have enough qualifications, on the other hand, you know so many people, there is always a suitable one."

"Yes, yes, but this year the Ministry of Magic seems to want to take action, so it will be under strict scrutiny of the teachers in office. Not to mention finding a random one, even some of the current teachers may also be found in trouble. Dumbledore seemed to think of something, and anger appeared on his face.

"It's the Ministry of Magic again..."Ios understood what he was doing, but he still didn't want to do such a troublesome thing, "However, if you look for me, you will also be troubled by the Ministry of Magic, they will definitely stare at me and want to find a problem." ”

"But you can't find a problem other than your age, you're definitely capable enough for this position, so they can criticize you in terms of age at most, but that shows your talent even more, doesn't it?"

Dumbledore had a confident expression, unconcerned about what Ios was saying.

But think about it, although the lack of qualifications is criticized, but ability is the most important, the school is always a place of teaching, and being able to effectively teach students is the most important.

But Ios is not really worried about his lack of qualifications and letting people point fingers behind his back, he just doesn't want to do things, he just wants to live a leisurely salted fish life.

"As long as you promise, I promise that as long as I find the Resurrection Stone, I will definitely give it to you." Dumbledore seemed to know that this would be difficult to convince him, and directly pressed down a heavyweight weight.

"Okay, that's a deal."
