Phyllis applied for the position of professor of the history of magic, and Headmaster Dumbledore had to go through a rough test before accepting her offer, which amounted to a less formal interview.

Strictly speaking, to apply for a position as a professor of the history of magic at Hogwarts, Phyllis is not satisfactory in terms of qualifications. Just a week ago, she had just celebrated her eighteenth birthday, which was equivalent to just coming of age, and she had been locked up in Kate Manor for seven years, without any contact with any intelligent beings other than Amy. Regardless of her teaching ability, in the face of twenty or thirty adolescent, mischievous little wizards under the lectern, it is a question whether Phyllis can control the scene.

Fortunately, Phyllis's on-the-spot performance was good, no matter when or where the history of the conversation was, she could tell a thing or two, and the whole chat process was responsive, neither humble nor arrogant. Even if Dumbledore deliberately took the rhythm of the topic and asked some tricky questions, she could deal with it well, and even back and forth, showing her strong inner strength.

"I'm very happy." With an unconcealed smile on his face, Dumbledore said, "I'm glad that I'm happy that Inarel and Lilith's daughter is growing up healthy. ”

With Amy's care and the wealth amassed by the Kate family, Dumbledore was not worried about what difficulties the deceased daughter would encounter in her life. But at the psychological level, it is different, compared with sufficient material conditions, the "loving care" that Phyllis received when she was growing up cannot be said to be scarce, almost zero. It is normal for children who grow up in this environment to have psychological problems.

Extreme, perverse, full of hatred for the world, or extremely afraid of life, unable to communicate with other people normally...... These possible situations were fully considered and prepared by Dumbledore before he came. Unexpectedly, things were much better than he expected, Phyllis was not at all like a flower destroyed by wind, frost, rain and snow, but more similar to the fir that had experienced countless severe cold and heat.

"You know...... My parents? Phyllis asked.

"Of course." Dumbledore's eyes flashed with remembrance of the past, and he said, "Your father and mother are excellent students at Hogwarts and close comrades who fought alongside us. ”

"But they all died, leaving me alone in this world." Phyllis's voice was like icy spring water, clear and chilling.

Dumbledore sighed deeply and said, "Yes, they died in the war, for the sake of all those who are full of love in their hearts. ”

"But they abandoned me......"

"No, no, they didn't abandon you." Dumbledore looked into Phyllis's eyes and said seriously, "They have guarded the entire British wizarding world, and they are also guarding you, so that you can grow and live in an era of peace." ”

Dumbledore's eyes seemed to see through everything, through Phyllis's fragile mind beneath her hard shell.

Phyllis's eyes grew red, and she lowered her head, avoiding Dumbledore's gaze, and sobbed.

After a long while, Phyllis finally calmed down her agitated heart and asked, "Their deaths are worth it, aren't they?" ”

"Of course!" Dumbledore replied in the affirmative, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief. He was not mistaken, no matter what she went through, Phyllis was always full of love in her heart. Although it is difficult to accept, she eventually agrees with the sacrifice her parents made to save the wizarding world.

Feeling that the atmosphere was a little too heavy, Dumbledore changed the subject and said, "Your mother has repeatedly proposed to me to be the professor of the history of magic at Hogwarts, but for various reasons, she has not been able to succeed, and now, I want to leave this opportunity to you, is that okay?" ”

With that, Dumbledore took out an offer with the Hogwarts insignia and placed it on the table.

"Really?" Phyllis still has tears on her face, but the corners of her mouth can't help but smile, crying and laughing is not pretty, but it is very real.

"Of course it's true." Dumbledore said in a gentle tone, "Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry will open on the first of September, and I hope you will come to the school in mid-August to make it easier to arrange your office and classroom setup. ”

"Okay, no problem!" Phyllis wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "I'll report on time." ”

After a brief introduction to Hogwarts, Dumbledore took his leave and sent the old headmaster out of Kate Manor, and when she returned, she told Amy, "I'm a little tired today, so I won't eat dinner." ”

"Huh? Oh, okay. ”

After learning that her master had successfully applied for a professorship at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Amy was equally proud and proud, and that was Hogwarts! She was planning to cook a big meal and celebrate it, but it turned out that she didn't even have dinner, let alone a big meal.

Although I thought it was a pity, the master said so, and Amy had to comply.

Back in the bedroom, Phyllis took off her coat and lay down on the bed, looking so tired that she didn't want to move her fingers.

Dumbledore is arguably the most powerful wizard in the British wizarding world today, and he is also a wizard who is proficient in the Mind of the Deception. Throughout the conversation, he used a variety of methods, not only to directly and simply capture the mind, but also to explore words and observe subtle expressions.

It can be said that Dumbledore succeeded, he successfully understood Phyllis's current mental state and psychological thoughts, but there was one thing he definitely didn't expect that Phyllis was just a secondary personality in this soul, and the core soul of this personality was so indifferent.

In order to hide from Dumbledore, during the seemingly relaxed conversation between Phyllis and Dumbledore, the master Gechen took great pains to hide the true situation of this soul.

It didn't work out badly, and Phyllis got a letter of appointment from the professor of the history of magic at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which seemed to be a cover-up, at least temporarily, and Dumbledore's trust. However, the consequence is that the mental power is consumed too much, and the whole soul falls into weariness.

The weariness of the soul is not the same as the weariness of the body. When the body is tired, the quality of sleep tends to improve, but the soul is tired, and all night, Phyllis tosses and turns and just can't sleep, even though she already feels very tired, but she just can't sleep.

Phyllis can only be glad that the degree of soul exhaustion this time is very light, and it will slowly ease after a few days of rest, not to mention the severe, that is, the moderate level of soul fatigue, which cannot be recovered by self-regulation, and can only be recuperated and recovered after returning to the seventh dimension.
