The two of them had already made up their mind on how to arrange Peter, so not long after Dumbledore sent the letter to Fudge, the conversation in the principal's office began to shift toward academics.
Since opening the Eye of True Seeing, Ani has changed from simply studying to discussing with the old principal.
In terms of the breadth and depth of knowledge, he is still far behind Dumbledore. Hundreds of years of accumulation are not easy to surpass. What's more, the old headmaster is a genius among geniuses, and his speed of absorbing knowledge is far faster than that of ordinary wizards.
However, the Eye of True Sight is extremely effective and can directly decipher the mysteries hidden in magic, some of which Dumbledore has never been exposed to.
Both of them are true wizards with a heart for exploration, so no matter what the original intention of their conversation is, as long as there is still time, it will eventually turn into an academic discussion.
It's a pity that they are destined to not be able to enjoy themselves today.
Shortly after the hour hand on the dial crossed nine o'clock, Dumbledore received a message - their guest was here.
Although it seems that anyone can come here for a walk in the original trajectory, in fact, without Dumbledore's permission, no one can quietly invade the castle.
"Aeneas Scamander, Professor of Transfiguration at Hogwarts."
After briefly introducing himself, Aini extended his right hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Pedillo, welcome to visit."
"Thank you, Professor Scamander, I'm glad to be back at Hogwarts."
Peter narrowed his eyes and his fat smiling face looked honest and honest. He held Aini's right hand with both hands and shook it enthusiastically.
When Peter was talking to Fudge yesterday, the other party had said that he would solve the problem of coming to work at Hogwarts for him.
Although he sensed that Mr. Minister had ulterior motives due to his agility, he did not pay too much attention to it. After throwing out a few verbal thanks without any effort, he rushed to Hogsmeade and prepared to play the emotional card himself. .
The position of the Minister of Magic is very important in the eyes of the big families that check and balance each other, but it is not attractive to the great wizards.
Even Voldemort never thought of directly occupying this system full of bureaucratic dross during the First Wizarding War.
With that kind of energy, wouldn't it be nice to start over and build his own magical kingdom?
Even if Fudge begged Peter to stay and take his place, the latter would not dare to be greedy for power, otherwise Voldemort would definitely make his life worse than death if he missed the date agreed with Hecate.
"Mr. Pedillo, please come with me."
Ani wanted to take Peter directly to the principal's office, but just as he reached the Black Lake, the castle door was pushed open from inside, and a witch hurriedly walked over.
"Oh, Peter, it's unbelievable and amazing..."
Professor McGonagall held Peter's shoulders and looked again and again, with tears in his eyes.
"Professor, I'm so happy to see you again."
Peter also wiped away tears, and the shoulder held by Minerva shrank slightly, and the breath on her body made him feel a little palpitated.
As a mouse, he is naturally afraid of cats.
"It's great that you can come. Let's go to Dumbledore's place first. We can see each other often in the future."
Just now, in addition to sending a letter to the old principal, Peter also wrote a letter to Professor McGonagall explaining the purpose of his visit.
Not long after Ani left the principal's office, she walked into the principal's office and asked Dumbledore to give Peter a chance.
In the eyes of Professor McGonagall, Peter is now helpless and has no job, which is really pitiful. This should not be the ending that a "hero" deserves.
After bidding farewell to Minerva, Ani took Peter straight to the entrance of the principal's office on the third floor. The subsequent development was uneventful and everything was planned.
Dumbledore exchanged a few pleasantries with Peter, and then readily agreed to his request to teach at Hogwarts. He took out an appointment letter from the drawer, filled in the position and handed it over.
When Peter signed, Ani silently opened the Eye of True Sight and looked at the churning power of the curse.
In his field of vision, the power of the curse that had been flowing into the school doctor's office changed direction and squeezed into the short and fat body.
Seeing that the curse had successfully established a connection with Peter, Ani stood behind him and nodded gently to Dumbledore.
"Ani, please take Peter to the castle administrator, thank you."
"As you wish, sir."
After getting Ani's reply, Dumbledore looked at Peter again, "You can choose any vacant room as your office. Of course, if you like, you can also directly use the office of the previous Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."
"Thank you, Professor Dumbledore, and thank you, Professor Scamander."
After thanking the two of them, Peter quickly followed Ani and left the principal's office. Although Voldemort said that he was sure to hide it from Dumbledore's detection, the close contact still made him stressed.
Just when the mouse officially jumped into the urn, Fudge also received Dumbledore's reply. The angry minister smashed the cup, kicked down the chair, and overturned the table...br>
Well, the thick solid wood desk withstood the owner's anger and made him duck...
However, after opening the next day's Daily Prophet, Fudge changed his mood.
"... Peter... Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts... Didn't Dumbledore refuse? What's going on?"
The minister was confused and picked up the newspaper and read it again. When he put it down, he was already in a good mood.
Not to mention that Dumbledore rejected him without dignity, even if he broke his hands and feet in private, Fudge would happily kneel down and lick him as long as he could help solve Peter's problem.
After feeling relieved, Fudge was a little confused again. Why did Dumbledore change his attitude? Could it be said that Peter has hooked up with other forces? Could it be those families who want to cause trouble?
Thinking of the possible behind-the-scenes push for Peter's recruitment, Fudge's newly clear mind was once again covered with a layer of gloom.
Putting aside his thoughts for the moment, Fudge took out the parchment from the drawer and skillfully piled up false rhetoric.
…
The sun rises and sets, and one day passes and another, but each day is unique. There will never be another day exactly like today, even though they all have twenty-four hours.
Sometimes opportunities are like this, they slip away and never come back again.
So the night before the appointment with Hecate, Peter stayed at the original Acromantula habitat.
Two months later, the place was once again covered with cobwebs. That day, Aini mainly targeted the big ones, leaving those who were not as big as a person and allowed them to escape.
Most places in the Forbidden Forest are not as peaceful as the Unicorn Habitat. The Acromantulas who left the depression lost their size and numerical advantages and were forced back soon. Faced with threats from all around, they could only join forces to stay warm. .
After the Acromantula discovered Peter, who was dressed in black robes, he quickly fled into the distance as if risking his life. Aini's killing that day had rooted the fear of wizards deep in the souls of this ethnic group.
Seeing the spiders around him receding like a tide, Peter showed a disdainful smile, which was full of the superiority of being a wizard.
But this was not enough. When greater benefits were within reach, he was no longer satisfied with the dividends of reincarnation.
He, Peter Pedillo, would eventually become the master of the world.
