Chapter XVIII: Notorious and Double Pay

Durmstrang's professors live in the North Tower on weekdays.

Looking out from the north tower, you can see a huge snow-covered castle with a large square and a flag with the school emblem floating in the square.

The blue-gray castle is probably because it is still in the summer vacation, and the quiet and unmanned castle is like a ghost's residence in the blizzard at this time, which looks dignified and solemn and has a strange and terrifying feeling.

Behind the north tower, you can see the lake that never freezes, and several huge trick boats floating on the water.

These ships have been in circulation since the 15th century, and there is no mention of them in the school's history, but according to some unconfirmed accounts, they appear to have been incarnated by the ghosts of Durmstrang and were veritable ghost ships.

Well...... Let's just think they're ghostly.

All in all, under Professor Winnie's introduction, the environment in the North Tower is quite good.

"Professor Danlin."

"Professor Malfoy, what's the problem?"

Beneath the chain drawbridge was the rushing lake, and as the two of them walked on it, the thick chains clicked under the erosion of the cold wind, sounding like the wailing sound of a banshee, which seemed a little frightening.

Vice Principal Winnie's voice also became extremely hazy in such an environment, and it was not very real to hear.

"I'm a little curious." Professor Malfoy took his wand and swept away the snow covering himself and Winnie, and asked casually:

"You're the vice-principal, the professor of potions, and the therapist at the hospital, do you have time to organize your own business?"

Can one person do so much? Or is she actually a workaholic, the kind of person who makes it hard to do things?

Oh, of course, the main thing is because I want to ask if I will be paid three times the salary for this?

If you don't triple your salary...... Who's going to do this? The International Confederation of Wizards doesn't seem to care about that...... Professor Malfoy thought aimlessly.

"Thank you." Winnie nodded awkwardly in thanks:

"It's nothing, Professor Malfoy, I'm used to it. Although I am tired every day, I enjoy this job...... As for personal matters, I will also take enough time to deal with them, and it will not have too much impact. ”

"Isn't the school considering recruiting more wizards? I mean, Professor Winnie should be able to make it easier then, right? ”

Ranko asked with some interest.

When he applied for the position of Professor of Dark Arts at Durmstrang he also had the attitude of going if he could, and if he couldn't help it, he could find a way to break in.

However, although there was also his own "reputation" and the factor of his promise to Karkaroff to "solve the Death Eaters", he still did not expect to apply for the position of professor of dark arts so smoothly.

After all, Durmstrang's specialty is black magic education.

But it just so happened that the previous professor of the dark arts died in a dark magic accident a few months ago, and when he was dragged to the magic hospital in Norway, he was left with only a layer of skin, and he couldn't die anymore, which made Ranko take advantage of the loophole.

"Although the headmaster has this idea...... Professor Winnie laughed a little far-fetched, but she still chose to be honest, or rather, Ranko would know sooner or later, and it didn't matter if he told it now:

"There were a lot of wizards who wanted to come to Durmstrang to teach, but among them, um, I mean most of them didn't have the level of professionalism required by the school."

As for the few, they came with a purpose.

Let's say a disciple of a certain disciple, and a believer of a white hair.

One is to be the principal, and the other is to get something in the school.

Naturally, these people can't let them in.

"I think you understand, Professor Malfoy. Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry doesn't have a good reputation internationally, and although it is known as one of the three major schools of witchcraft and wizardry in Europe, many people prefer to call it the Dark Wizard's Processing Factory. ”

"We've sent out invitations, too, but schools that honor tradition and teach black magic have shunned many famous wizards."

This is the complete opposite of Hogwarts's international reputation, which made the corners of Ranko's mouth twitch when he heard this.

To put it simply, the school is in a very awkward position.

So he just stepped in?

Oh hehe, that's a good feeling.

"We offer six compulsory courses, including Transfiguration, Dark Magic, Potions, History of Magic, and Herbal Medicine, among which Professor Malfoy, the corresponding textbook for the Dark Arts course, needs to be specified by yourself."

"Six gates...... Wait, Professor Danlin, what about Charms class? ”

Professor Malfoy suddenly had a not-so-good premonition.

"I remember that there was a course in the International Wizarding Capacity Levels (IWLs) called Charms, right? Or is it that the process of developing the curriculum is not carried out in accordance with international education law? ”

Professor Malfoy was still looking forward to it.

Winnie still smiled gently, "Yes, we have always followed the rules of the International Wizarding Education Examination Agency. ”

"But Durmstrang's current situation, as I think you know, the professors so far have only one required course, but they have all taken on some elective courses."

"So?"

"So, Charms is included in the Dark Arts class, Professor Malfoy."

As a result, things didn't come out of Professor Malfoy's not-so-rosy premonition.

"Professor Malfoy?"

Glancing at Ranko, who had a strange expression, Winnie stopped.

"Yes...... Any questions......"

She seemed a little worried.

After all, this matter was not notified in advance, which was her dereliction of duty and concealment.

So what to do about it?

Ahem, the always gentle Professor Dan Lin will not admit that she just wanted to give Professor Malfoy an "out-of-body experience", so that the professor of dark arts who has come to this place "rest assured" in class.

Professor Danlin, an outstanding graduate of Durmstrang and an excellent graduate of the dark arts, silently put away a small man with a wand and a spell that hit Professor Malfoy.

After all, Durmstrang is not doing well lately...... Winnie thought worriedly.

As for our Professor Malfoy.

The smile is not decent, but the heart is more than hehe.

Charms class doesn't seem like a contract agreement, right?

I thought it was an idle job, and he could concentrate on his own research. After all, no matter where he is, he will not ask students to prove their level of black magic, he just needs to use a little trick to fool around in class.

This was one of the reasons why he had applied for this course instead of Potions and Herbology.

But Charms is different, and although black magic is essentially Charms, it is obviously not appropriate for a wizard who needs to take an exam to treat Charms with the same attitude he thinks of teaching black magic.

Or take what you can take away and quit your job......

"Professor Malfoy, I'll be going to sort out some of the notes on Charms and the Dark Arts that my professors have taken in a moment, when do you think you're free?"

Professor Winnie seemed to remember suddenly, pulled the hair from his ear, and said:

"There must be some references to ancient magic...... They always like to litter, and the students in the castle will also find some ridiculous magical knowledge in strange places...... I think Professor Malfoy would be interested. ”

"Let's go, Professor Danlin, I suddenly feel full of fighting spirit in my heart."

Professor Malfoy took a big stride forward.

It is incumbent upon us to teach and educate people, no.

Ahem, you have to look at the problem with a developmental eye, teach charms, well, this kind of thing is not a big problem.

His spell level is still okay.

"I think I can ask for double pay."

"Of course, Professor Malfoy."

Is double enough? If it's not enough, you can add ...... Winnie thought of the situation at her school and felt a little tired.

The president who doesn't care about anything, the increasingly severe enrollment situation and the quality of professors......

Professor Malfoy, I hope you're the same as the news is all about.

Otherwise, I would have to, only, be a little busier teaching spells.
