Chapter 101: Hermione's Godfather Professor (First Update, Ask for Subscription)
"Mr. Lupin, teaching time and content as we said in our letter yesterday, if you need a place to stay..."
"No need sir, I'm just staying at the Leaky Cauldron Bar, it's close to here, and it's perfect for me."
Remus Lupin hurriedly rejected Karn's kindness, in fact, it was difficult for him to find a job due to his status as a werewolf, and he also revealed this layer when he wrote to Karn, but Karn did not dislike it, and still hired him, which made Remus Lupin very moved.
That's why he didn't want danger to endanger Karn as an employer.
Moreover, Karn was paid very well, and he could afford to live until the end of the year with just one vacation time to teach, during which time he had plenty of time to find his next job.
"Headmaster Dumbledore, I haven't had time to thank you for your gift last time, thank you for being willing to give me the items on the Phoenix."
After Karn and Lupin finished talking about the matter, they smiled at Dumbledore and said that although he bought the flesh and blood of the phoenix for 35,000 Galleons, no one would say such a vulgar thing, as if he couldn't directly use the money to worship the Buddha, and he had to use the money to buy incense to appear sincere.
Dumbledore smiled and said, "Fawkes is also very happy, Mr. Pent has helped Hogwarts more than those things. ”
Karn was polite for a moment, then went straight to the point and asked, "Then Headmaster Dumbledore, you came to me today for..."
"Actually, it has something to do with Scamander, but before that I want you to forgive him, because Scamander told me something about you, and of course, it has something to do with me..."
Dumbledore explained it to Newt first, and he couldn't explain where he had learned about Karn without explaining it in advance.
"If you are interested in Hogwarts, Mr. Pente, I would like to invite you to become a Hogwarts school director and a Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher."
Upon hearing this, both Karn and Lupin looked surprised, and they both suspected that they had misheard.
And Hermione, who had been sitting obediently on the side, and when she heard Dumbledore say this, her two little feet moved in excitement, and she almost kicked off the shoes hanging on her feet.
'My godfather is becoming a professor at Hogwarts?' Or a professor in Defence Against the Dark Arts class? ’
Hermione had no doubts about Karn's strength, for in the few days she had been together, she had learned that her godfather was like a different person, with excellent spell-casting skills and profound magical powers.
Once she was in a duel with the Godfather, and the Godfather ate a petrification spell from her without dodging, but her spell had no effect, and the godfather acted as if he had been blown by the wind.
Karn asked, puzzled, "Headmaster Dumbledore, why did you invite me?" I don't seem to know much about Defence Against the Dark Arts class, and I even think Mr. Lupin..."
"I can't, Mr. Pente, and for reason you know, Hogwarts is not for me."
Lupin hurriedly shook his head and said, he used to become a werewolf every year when he went to school at Hogwarts, and at that time Sirius and James Potter accompanied him, and now going to Hogwarts will be a great threat to students, unless Dumbledore is accompanied by him whenever the moon is full.
"But my magic level..."
Dumbledore interrupted slightly, and gestured to Karn, "I'm sorry, Mr. Pente, I can talk to you..."
"Please come with me, Hermione, if you have any questions about spells, you can ask Mr. Lupin."
With that, Karn led Dumbledore to the study.
Upon arriving at the study, Dumbledore first praised the collection of books, and then explained why he had been invited.
Pure-blood families want to use the influence of the School Board to influence Hogwarts education, and they appear to have lobbied the Ministry of Magic to cut funding for Hogwarts, and the School Board used this to increase its influence on Hogwarts.
Although Dumbledore had no accurate evidence, Connelly was still a little wary of him, because he was unwilling to become the Minister of the Ministry of Magic, and Connelly felt that Dumbledore could take back the position of Minister at any time....
If it weren't for Karn's 35,000 Galleons to Hogwarts last year, which emboldened Dumbledore to refuse the school board, he would have compromised a lot this year.
After all, Hogwarts has a lot of expenses, especially when new students enter each year, and many Muggle students have Hogwarts secretly subsidized, otherwise they would not be able to buy a series of wizarding supplies so easily.
As for inviting Karn, it was also suggested by Scamander, who had a magical instinct that after spending a few days with Karn, he could feel that Karn was very different from those Death Eaters.
And Hogwarts' Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is really difficult to recruit, Dumbledore's friends are very wide, but when he hears about Defense Against the Dark Arts class, almost no one wants to; Even Lockhart was a little reluctant, and Dumbledore had to use Harry's fame to bring people in.
"Mr. Pent, Scamander told me that you are very skilled in the spells of Hogwarts from Year 1 to Year 7, and you are also very skilled in defense... I've heard that you love to read, and that the Hogwarts library should be all over the United Kingdom..."
Dumbledore also said the sincerity of his side, that is, the library of Hogwarts, no institution or bookstore can compare with Hogwarts, this is Dumbledore's confidence and confidence, and there are even magic books from hundreds of years ago in the forbidden room.
Karn didn't immediately agree to Dumbledore, but thought for a moment.
He knew that Dumbledore wanted to co-opt him against the school board or even the Ministry of Magic, and that the only thing that could make Dumbledore worry was Hogwarts and the students inside, and the problem that Hogwarts was facing now was education funding.
Karn was not short of money, and he would soon be able to monopolize the magic materials in England and even Europe, unless the other party did not need the dragon materials, and whoever needed them had to buy one other material.
This kind of bundling should have been the first time in the wizarding world, and it would disgust them for many years to come, and Karn would make a lot of monopoly money from it.
Asking him to donate an annual grant to Hogwarts was nothing to Karn, but he cared about the gain.
"Headmaster Dumbledore, can the Defence Against the Dark Arts professors go to the library's forbidden section?"
“....”
Dumbledore was silent for two seconds, then said to Karn, "Of course, any professor is eligible to go to the forbidden section, but some dark magic curses are invisible. ”
"Don't worry, Headmaster Dumbledore, I'm probably the same as Fawkes, with some immunity to the organization."
After Karn finished speaking, he got up and stretched out his hand to Dumbledore: "I can go to Hogwarts at any time, as for the invitation of the school director, I also agreed, Karn's magic materials store will donate 20,000 Galleons to Hogwarts every year to express the education of the British wizarding world." ”
Dumbledore was also an old man, and after hearing Karn's words, he thought for a moment before guessing what he was going to think next.
"I have most of my time, if there is an interview, Professor Pente."
With the two hands clasped together, Karn and Dumbledore were in agreement.
Karn donated 20,000 Galleons a year, which was almost half of Hogwarts' expenses, and Dumbledore had to help Karn with interviews in the Daily Prophet, such as mentioning Karn's magic materials store.
As the greatest wizard in Europe and the most famous school of magic and wizardry in England, the Kahn Wizarding Material Shop and these two are linked to the most extensive publicity, and the Garon donated to Hogwarts will soon earn back.
"Professor Pente, I'll help you get your office out of order, and maybe a meeting of the Board of Trustees, and I'll send you a letter with an owl when the time comes."
"Of course, I'm always waiting to hear from you, Headmaster Dumbledore."
Karn smiled and opened the door to the study, ready to leave with Dumbledore, but the moment he opened the door, Hermione, who was lying on the door, fell inside.
Karn waved his hand, though, and used the levitation charm to keep her from falling.
Hermione was a little embarrassed when she was discovered, combed her fluffy hair, and said with a red cheek and a reason, "Godfather, Professor Dumbledore, I want to..." I want to ask you, do you want to drink tea? ”
"No, Miss Granger, I think I should take my leave."
Dumbledore said with a smile, and then walked out the door, Karn letting go of Hermione's spell and walking out.
After going downstairs, Dumbledore and Lupin spoke a few words, and after being sent out of the door by Karn, he left with a shapeshifter.
"It's handy magic."
Karn complimented, then turned back into the house.
"Godfather, are you really going to teach at Hogwarts? Or the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, this is really amazing.... But Godfather, is this dangerous, there has always been a rumor at Hogwarts that the Dark Lord... Cursed on the position of Defence Against the Dark Arts professor. ”
Hermione was initially a little happy that Karn was a professor at Hogwarts, after all, her godfather; But then I became worried, and I heard that none of the last few Defence Against the Dark Arts professors could last more than a year.
"Hermione, don't be so afraid of Voldemort, he's not that strong."
Karn didn't have any fear of Voldemort, because he knew that there were many beings stronger than Voldemort, Madara Uchiha and Kaguya in the Hokage world, and purple potato essence in the Marvel world, all of which were more powerful than Voldemort.
When Hermione heard Karn's words, she said worriedly, "But Godfather, Voldemort is really..."
"Is it strong? Hermione, who do you think is stronger Voldemort or Dumbledore? ”
Hermione replied decisively, "Of course it's Dumbledore!" ”
"If there is a wizard as strong as Dumbledore in the British wizarding world, then Voldemort can only go to Tumbledown Alley to be a broker."
Karn touched Hermione's fluffy hair, wondering if he was going to buy a detangler for his goddaughter, but the fluffy curls felt okay.
"Remember, Hermione, all fear comes from a lack of firepower, and when you're strong enough, Voldemort is nothing."
