The thing about Harry Potter is very simple. As long as it does not involve national political issues, the church still has a very large influence in the secular world, especially in Europe.
John just gave an explanation, and the big things were reduced to trivial matters, and the trivial matters disappeared.
The Dursleys returned home the same day, and Dudley and Harry were also picked up by them.
And he expressed his willingness to accept the supervision of the church and the community and would not abuse Harry again... The Dursleys just hate Harry, they are not stupid.
They didn't want to go to jail because of Harry, let alone lose custody of their children.
In contrast, Harry's level of dissatisfaction was even higher.
Although it had only been one day, he did feel the warmth that he had never felt in the boarding house owned by the church since he could remember - when he was at the Dursleys' house, although he occasionally had neighbors who looked down on him and cared about him. He looked at him for a moment, but because of the attitude of the Dursleys, what he could do was extremely limited.
Warm and comfortable new clothes, fresh and delicious food, great care from the administrators, and camaraderie from other children.
Everything about the boarding house was unforgettable for Harry.
But in just one day, he was about to lose it all again.
This couldn't help but make him feel an unprecedented anger.
Such is the human heart.
If you have never owned it in the first place, forget it, but once you have owned it and then lose it, your mentality will easily become unbalanced.
Such was Harry's current situation.
Fortunately, this process didn't take long. The pastor of the community church also promised him that he would always supervise the Dursleys. The boarding house also packed his new clothes and daily necessities and gave them to him, as well as The children at the boarding house also gave him gifts.
This barely soothed his hurt heart.
In fact, let alone Harry, even Dumbledore, who was observing everything secretly, felt as if he had made a very bad mistake.
Fortunately, the current situation is not so bad that it is out of his control... right?
Compared to Harry's loss and Dumbledore's confusion.
Having achieved his goal, John felt relaxed and came to Hogwarts with peace of mind under the guidance of Professor McGonagall.
Normally, Professor McGonagall, as the vice-president and dean, does not have to personally do this kind of thing to guide new professors. That is to say, John's status is quite special, so Professor McGonagall will do it personally.
"How do you feel? Professor Capet!" Standing in front of the gate of Hogwarts School, Professor McGonagall asked.
"I'm very excited. To be honest, I'm a little regretful that I didn't choose Hogwarts back then!" Looking at the magnificent castle in front of him, John was still a little excited. He also made a huge decision when he gave up Hogwarts. determination in making a decision.
"It shouldn't happen now, come with me!" Professor McGonagall was quite satisfied with John's attitude, and then he took the lead and walked towards the school.
Under her leadership, the two walked through the foyer of the castle and along the marble stairs to the second floor.
"This is my office. Except for classes, I will be here most of the time. If you have anything, you can come here to see me!" Professor McGonagall pointed to the first door in the corridor beside the stairs.
John nodded.
Professor McGonagall then took him forward and passed two classrooms.
"This is the Muggle Studies classroom. This is the History of Magic classroom where you need to work. Although the History of Magic course is divided between you and Professor Binns, because the class times are separate in all academic years, there is no Also arrange new classrooms," Professor McGonagall explained.
"The environment is very good!" John commented after looking around.
Compared with classrooms in ordinary society, Hogwarts classrooms do seem a bit too spacious. The tables and chairs used are all made of very good quality solid wood. The light is also very good, and it is not as dark as ordinary castles. a feeling of.
"This will be your office from now on. Beyond that is the office of the school hospital and the head of the school hospital, Mrs. Poppy Pomfrey. She is proficient in healing. If you have any related needs, you can go to her." After passing two classrooms, they came to a door. Professor McGonagall took out a key and opened the door.
"Oh? Then maybe I can communicate with her if I have a chance. I actually have a lot of research on healing techniques!" John said with a smile after hearing this.
"Really? Then in the future, when you are overwhelmed, Madam Pomfrey will be helpful!" Professor McGonagall was slightly surprised when she heard John say this.
As the door opens, there is also a very spacious room inside. The back of the room faces the lake outside the castle, and the view is very good.
But at the moment, there was nothing inside except a few tables and chairs, and it seemed a bit empty.
There is also a door on the side wall of the office.
"You need to decorate the office yourself, as long as it doesn't have a bad impact on the visiting students. If you have any additional needs, you can ask Filch. His office is on the first floor! Over there is the bedroom, which has a separate Bathroom! The house elves have prepared brand new utensils inside. You can use them with confidence!" Professor McGonagall explained, and took out a piece of parchment while speaking. "This is your employment contract. After you sign it, you You are now a formal member of Hogwarts, and you can use all the regular facilities on campus. As for the taboos, I already told you before you came here, so I won’t repeat them again.”
"Are all the other professors at school here?" John took the parchment and asked while reading the content on it.
"It's the holiday now. Except for a few professors who live in the school, everyone else has gone home or visited friends. You can get to know them when the semester gets closer!" Professor McGonagall replied.
Although most Hogwarts professors are resident in the school all year round, they also have their own private lives, so they may not always stay in the school during holidays.
"Thank you very much for your guidance, Professor McGonagall. Please give me your advice in the future." The professor's contract at Hogwarts is actually very loose. Even if John doesn't care about this, he can't help but sigh that the treatment of professors at Hogwarts is indeed quite good. generous.
So after briefly browsing the contents of the contract and making sure that there were no unreasonable terms, John signed it.
"I'm just fulfilling my responsibilities. I wonder what Professor Capet's plans are next? Should he live here directly and wander around, or come back when school starts?" Professor McGonagall asked.
"Let's wait until school starts. I still have something to do during this time!" John replied. Although exploring Hogwarts should be quite interesting, Hogwarts doesn't run away, so there's no need to rush. This time.
And what he said he wanted to do was take advantage of the time before school started to provide one-on-one tutoring to his little cousin Hermione.
Although it’s great to complete the main quest a few more times, eating what’s in the bowl first is the most important thing.
Anyway, after knowing in advance that she was going to Hogwarts, Hermione was not so concerned about her studies in ordinary schools. Moreover, studies in British elementary schools were already very easy. Compared with other students, Hermione I am busy just because I want to go to a better private school.
So Hermione had a lot of time to learn magic-related knowledge from John.
Of course, in addition to some common sense in the magical world, what John mainly taught Hermione was the Holy Light spell, which is the exclusive magic of the church.
In John's words, there is plenty of time to learn ordinary magic when you arrive at Hogwarts.
But "Church Magic" cannot be learned just by wanting to learn it. Even within the church now, there are only a few people who have mastered the power of the Holy Light.
