Chapter 3： Interview

July 21st at ten o'clock in the morning.

Felix was dressed very formally. He stood in the fireplace, sprinkled a handful of Floo powder, and shouted "Vice President Hogwarts' Office". After a green flame passed, his figure disappeared.

Hogwarts Vice President's Office, Professor McGonagall is sorting out school documents with a serious face.

The professor of transformation class who is known for being severe is always expressionless, but she is still in a good mood at the moment. Gryffindor College won the long-lost College Cup last school year, which keeps the dean of Gryffindor College's happy mood to the present.

"Peng!"

A faint green fire flashed in the fireplace, and a young, well-mannered man stepped out.

Felix looked at the surrounding environment, nothing changed at all, it's been a long time! He smiled gently at McGonagall: "Professor McGonagall, hello, long time no see."

Professor McGonagall pursed her mouth, which means that her mood is getting bad rapidly, or she has switched to work mode, "Long time no see, Felix."

Professor McGonagall also taught him and is one of his professors. For this famous student, her mood is very complicated, of course it is not as complicated as Professor Snape.

Before the long-lost Academy Cup, Gryffindor had a tragic seven-game losing streak, and this experience has a lot to do with Felix.

Except for the previous three years, Felix’s learning environment was too bad, which made him have to fight back, so he deducted a lot of points. In the following years, after forcibly mingling with the snakes, he seemed to finally realize that he was one A Slytherin student should fight for the honor of the college.

And the next few years can be described in one sentence, "Glory to Slytherin."

...

Felix stepped forward, looked at his pocket watch, "I hope I didn't miss the interview."

Professor McGonagall was interrupted to remember, stood up and led him to the principal's office, "Chocolate Frog." She read the password and sent Felix in. Before leaving, she said, "Your book is very good. It seems that you have had a very fulfilling life in the past three years."

"Thank you, Professor McGonagall." He was taken aback for a moment, smiled, and then stepped up the stairs.

After three years of graduation, he is not for nothing. Especially when he failed to apply for a job for the first time, he repeatedly thought and suspected that his student career was too vigorous, so he followed the advice of Principal Dumbledore, "walk more and see more."

He spent a year wandering the wizarding world, and spent the remaining two years working in the Muggle world, uh, studying Muggles.

The results are remarkable, three books in three years, two Muggle studies, and one ancient magic text.

also accumulated a fortune.

Walking through the long steps, Felix entered the principal's office, which was filled with various books and alchemy products. The wall was painted with portraits of the principals of Hogwarts.

On the side of the principal's desk, a phoenix closed its eyes and took a nap.

Dumbledore was studying something at his desk, the whole office was very quiet.

"Principal Dumbledore, good morning." Felix said hello. As he spoke, the room suddenly came alive.

The portraits of the principal opened their eyes one after another, looking at Felix, pointing and whispering.

One of the portraits is extremely exaggerated, "Ha! The best Slytherin is here!"

The man in the portrait wears a goatee, slender eyebrows, and a Slytherin robe. He is Phineas Black, who was voted the least popular Hogwarts principal by students, and is also from Slytherin. .

Felix gave a graceful salute.

At this time, Principal Dumbledore finally raised his head. He had a very different appearance, a silver-white beard, dragged long to his chest; his robe was not neatly dressed, and he wore a pair of half-moon eyes.

But these are not as good as his eyes. His eyes are very bright, and his blue pupils seem to be gleaming.

Felix was a little dazed, time did not leave too many traces on the principal, and it seemed to have left too many traces.

"Ah, ah! It's Felix," Dumbledore stood up and strode forward, his actions very vigorous, "I've been waiting for you to come."

Felix shook hands with the principal cautiously. After all, he came to apply for a job and was rejected three times.

The two sat on the chairs. Dumbledore looked at him through the thin lenses and waved his wand. "What would you like to drink? Pumpkin juice? Tea?" He blinked, "I still have fresh butter here. beer."

"A cup of tea, thank you."

Dumbledore flicked his wand, a cup of steaming tea floated in front of him, and Felix took a light sip. A bitter taste poured into the nose, it was Chen tea. It seems that the principal doesn't drink much tea at ordinary times.

"The tea that Sybil gave me, although I can't taste good or bad personally, but according to her, it comes from the far east."

con man!

Felix defamation, at least one of you two is a liar.

After drinking tea, the conversation started to get to the point.

"Felix, you have done a great job in recent years. I have been reading your books. I have to say that you are very novel and very in-depth in Muggle research...gave me a lot of ideas for this old man."

Felix smiled, "Thanks to your advice, the world of Muggles is very wonderful, especially in recent decades, they have developed very fast. As for the writing...maybe because I am also a Muggle, I am more of a Muggle. I understand."

Dumbledore shook his head, "Born does not erase your efforts. Many people in the wizarding world are of Muggle origin, but they are not good at Muggle research, at most they have a better understanding of some common sense. But this is far from understanding."

Of course, because I was a pure Muggle in my previous life.

Dumbledore brandished his magic wand and flew out a book from the desk. The title is "Muggle Struggle: From Million Years Ago", which is one of Felix's works. He was a little surprised, because Dumbledore had been reading his book just now.

"This book is very inspiring to me. I have read it more than once, especially when you look at the history of science and technology—is this the word? From the perspective of the history of science and technology, UU read www.uukānshu.com to explain how Muggles follow step by step. Shaped like a beast, it has grown to the present level after millions of years. I have to say that this is a miracle."

"You also pointed out that the Muggles' technological level will leap rapidly every once in a while, the time interval is getting shorter and shorter, and even the prediction of the next leap is not far away-very enlightening!" Dumbledore to him The book is full of praise.

Felix humbly said: "I did not create this kind of thinking. In fact, many sociologists in the Muggle world, oh, Muggle scholars who study Muggles, their writings have given me a lot of help. ."

Dumbledore said calmly, "Many Muggles are equally wise, but few in the magical world admit this."

"I agree with you, Professor Dumbledore."

Dumbledore blinked immediately, seeming to skip the topic, and said wittyly: "So, you should have read a lot of Muggle books? Frankly speaking, many of my Christmas gifts are books. They seem to think that I I prefer books. But in fact, I have read most of them. Compared with that, I prefer a pair of woolen socks."

"Of course, if it is a book from the Muggle world, I don't think I will refuse it."

a bright hint...

At least he knows what to give for Christmas...

"Yes, although they don't have magic, some of them are willing to spend more than ten years to complete a book dedicated to explaining a problem or a theory." Felix said softly, "It's difficult. And because of this, Very precious."

Dumbledore was a little relieved, "It seems that you have really gained a lot in the past few years." Then he suddenly asked a question, "Then why are you so obsessed with teaching at Hogwarts?"
