In from Mellen. After Tswaught learned of Professor Quirrell's death and the Dark Lord's imminent return, Ryan received a letter from Hogwarts.
The content of the letter was very simple, informing Ryan Liu in very polite language to go to Hogwarts to attend the Defence Against the Dark Arts class.
"Interview?" Looking at the beautiful flowery characters on the letter, a playful smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of Liu Rui'an's mouth.
In and the house-elves and Mellen. After saying hello to Tswair and changing into a handsome outfit with both Eastern and Western styles, Ryan Liu quickly embarked on a trip to Hogwarts.
With an official identity, it didn't take too long for Liu Ruian to come to this long-coveted magic school.
"Huh?"
Looking at the old man with white hair and even his long beard, obviously waiting for his old man, Liu Ruian was somewhat surprised.
Deng Liduo, who walked forward slowly, withdrew his gaze from looking someone up and down, and said with a smile:
"Welcome, Imodaried. Ren, I'm Albus. Percival. Wulfrick. Brian. Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts. ā
"According to our Oriental words, I have admired the great name for a long time, Principal Dunlido." Liu Rui'an, who performed a wizarding ceremony, said with a smile.
"Me too, I read a lot of articles about Defence Against the Dark Arts that Mr. Ren published in the Daily Prophet, and I was very inspired." Albus with a kind smile on his face. Dumbledore. Laughed.
"It is a great honor to receive praise from Principal Dumbledore." Liu Ruian, who also has a kind smile. Laughed.
Actually, it's not an honor, but there's still some surprise.
According to Liu Rui'an's idea. Even if you can't run to meet the other party during this interview, but as an outsider like you, you can't let the head of the school personally receive you.
But on second thought, this seemingly very loving old man has a scheming as deep as the sea, and such a move is obviously not untargeted.
Fortunately, he entered Hogwarts at the expense of his own interests, not for the sake of the savior Harry Bo and the Dark Lord, but for all the magic-related resources of this magic school.
As long as you feel at ease and be a good otaku teacher, other things will come to block and water will cover up.
After a few pleasantries. Ryan Liu was led by the famous headmaster of Hogwarts to visit the whole of Hogwarts.
After walking around several historic places, we arrived at the principal's office.
As soon as he entered the door, Liu Ruian saw an acquaintance.
Of course, this acquaintance is just that Liu Ruian knows the other party, but the other party will never know him.
"Imo, introduce, this is Gildero. Lockhart, a recipient of the Order of Merlin, 3rd class. "It's still a kind old man. Albus. Dumbledore stepped forward and smiled and introduced:
He is also an honorary member of the Anti-Black Arts League and a five-time winner of Wizarding Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award. He has written a lot of books and is a rare talent. ā
"If it weren't for the special recommendation of the Ministry of Magic, this time the position of professor of the Defense of Magic class. I was going to ask Gildelow to help. ā
It seemed to be just a simple introduction, but Liu Ruian heard a little meaning.
However, since it has been decided to "sweep only the snow in front of your house." Regardless of the frost on the tile of others. Naturally, there is no need to be angry about this temptation on the tongue.
So he pretended to be stunned for a moment. Then he walked forward with enthusiasm and saluted:
"It turned out to be Gildero. Lockhart, you wrote "Gildero. Lockhart teaches you to get rid of household pests. Gildero. Lockhart Series. ā
"And 'Break with a Female Ghost,' 'Traveling with a Ghoul,' 'Vacation with a Dominatrix,' 'Walking with a Troll,' 'Traveling on a Boat with a Vampire.'"
and Wandering with Werewolves. "A Year with the Tibetan Snowman", "I Can Magic" and other books I have read. ā
"It's a great honor to meet a real person today."
Originally, I was very dissatisfied with someone who might have robbed me of my job, but I didn't expect the other party to report all the most proud of the books he had written in one go.
"Whereever, where, I've just experienced too much." The smug look on his face couldn't be hidden, or Gildero, who didn't want to hide it at all. Lockhart, laughing.
Liu Ruian, who was too lazy to stay in front of the two in front of him, said directly to the point after being polite:
"Headmaster Dunledore, if you're planning to hire Mr. Lockhart as a professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts, I don't have a problem at all."
"I don't know if I can have the honor of being Mr. Lockhart's assistant."
"If not, I'd like to stay and help out in the Hogwarts library without a salary."
Actually, Albus. Dumbledore did want to use language provocation to test the Eastern wizard who was specially recommended by a "friend" of the Ministry of Magic, but he didn't expect things to go in the direction he expected.
Fortunately, for a scheming person, this little change is nothing at all.
"Library help?" Pretending to hesitate Albus. Dumbledore, after thinking for a moment, shook his head and said:
"No, this job isn't for you, Imo."
"As for being Gildero's assistant, it's usually a temporary help from professors from other courses when needed."
"There is no precedent for a professor to be assigned an assistant to a course."
If you can't see that the other party is trying to capture the old people, Liu Ruian is not an ordinary brain-dead, and said with a regretful face:
"It's a pity, since that's the case, I won't bother the two of you."
After saying that, he made a wizard's salute to the two of them, and then turned around and left the principal's office decisively.
With the "talent" Gidero, who did not figure out the situation at all. Lockhart was different and watched someone quickly disappear from the door to Albus. Dumbledore, although he was inevitably a little stunned by the other party's decisiveness, swallowed back after the words came to his mouth.
"What an interesting person." Albus, whose eyes flashed with wisdom. Dumbledore said with a smile.
And at this time, Gilderoy finally reacted. Lockhart, on the other hand, said with some excitement:
"Oh! Deng Liduo, in fact, I think his mention yƬ is very good. ā
"I usually have so many things to do, I really need an assistant, a full-time assistant."
"Why don't you agree? It's a big deal, if only I had my salary deducted. ā
"Gildero, if you want to be rich, you and I are not as rich as Imo." glanced at the other party's Albus. Dumbledore, with a mocking look in his eyes, said with a smile.
"Oh? He should be hired even more often, perhaps with a windfall benefit to Hogwarts' finances. "Gildero, accustomed to talking. Lockhart, subconsciously.
It's not out of good intentions, it's just that I think it's a lot of benefits to have my own fans as assistants, and it's also a very rich assistant.
What's more, being recommended by the Ministry of Magic to be the professor of this Defense Against the Dark Arts course, I think the other party should also have some strength.
Gildero, who knows very well how talented he is. Lockhart, naturally, did not want to miss such an opportunity to have ready-made labor and shields.
It's Albus. Dumbledore, after hearing the statement about Hogwarts' finances, the whole person was stunned for a moment, and then the smile on his face became a little bigger.
Liu Rui'an, who left the principal's office, did not leave in a hurry, but followed the route he visited when he came, and turned around those areas again.
In particular, there is a hidden room on the eighth floor of Hogwarts, but I didn't even think to open it in broad daylight.
After Liu Ruian turned around and left a little "trace" of his visit, he left this historic magic school.
Just when Ryan Liu was ready to visit Hogwarts at night, a letter sent by an owl brought an unexpected surprise.
Looking at the content of the letter about hiring himself as an assistant professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Ryan Liu couldn't help but smile and said to himself:
"I actually changed my mind, hehe...... It's getting more and more interesting. (To be continued......)
