"The first thing is to add garlic to the scarf. Professor, do you really believe that lame reason?
There is a relevant introduction in the third grade Defense Against the Dark Arts textbook.
I don't remember vampires being afraid of garlic.
I even met a garlic-eating vampire in Mexico before!
So let’s make a bold assumption,
Maybe this is a distress signal from him? "
Dumbledore first looked at Douglas with admiration, then shook his head and said:
"The smell of garlic is just our guess. I think it's probably some kind of magic potion!"
Douglas nodded, you are the principal, everything you said is right!
Then he looked at Dumbledore with an expectant look and asked cautiously:
"I'm very curious. With your ability, principal, can you see Voldemort on the back of Quirinus's head without lifting the scarf?"
Because he remembered that in the original work, Dumbledore seemed to be able to see through Harry Potter wearing the invisibility cloak.
etc. If you can really see through that thick scarf, wouldn't it mean... tsk tsk...
Dumbledore seemed to have caught Douglas's strange thoughts.
"Ahem! I'm glad you can call Voldemort by his first name instead of calling him some mysterious person.
The second thing is, under certain circumstances, I mean, emergencies, I think I can see through some things.
Of course this is not a random use...
Perhaps, you should have enough trust in an old man!
In fact, under normal circumstances, I didn’t notice anything weird under Quirinas’ scarf! "
Seeing Douglas's increasingly strange eyes, Dumbledore quickly explained.
And brought the topic back.
Douglas also looked serious and nodded.
"That means Voldemort should be able to hide himself in Quirinas at any time.
Rather than always showing on the back of the head.
Otherwise, with your ability, principal, you should have discovered him very early.
Also, even without Voldemort, according to Quirinas' ability,
If you really wanted to kill Harry Potter, you wouldn't choose to cast a curse in front of everyone, right?
In public, the continuous curse is still so easily interrupted. "
Speaking of this, Douglas almost said that if he had watched more than a thousand episodes of Conan in the Muggle world, he would take action.
He will definitely do it more efficiently than Professor Chilo.
But I don't dare to make this joke now, because the person opposite is suspecting that he is an undercover agent sent by Voldemort.
After all, Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is a position...
Because there are some unkind rumors circulating outside.
All these years it has been supported by Dumbledore's strong connections.
Basically, few people take the initiative to apply for this position.
Except for a certain Potions professor.
After hearing Douglas' words, Dumbledore nodded.
"It's a bit crude. According to what you said, is this also a warning from Quirinas?"
After finishing speaking, Dumbledore's eyes gradually softened through his half-moon glasses.
In fact, when Douglas could directly say the name Voldemort.
It shows that this is a person who is very suitable for teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts.
And there is absolutely no way it has anything to do with Voldemort.
People who are afraid of the dark will only run away when they see the darkness, instead of facing the difficulties.
The course Defense Against the Dark Arts is not something that ordinary people can do.
Of course, it's not ruled out that Dumbledore wanted to keep this guy secretly developing in a vest to observe.
After all, the last student who changed his vest after graduation was named Tom Riddle...
Douglas was a little embarrassed when Dumbledore looked at him, especially when he remembered that the person opposite him seemed to be gay.
He became even more obscene, thinking about activating the system and running away quickly.
Seeing Douglas suddenly become a little embarrassed, Dumbledore suddenly felt that his conclusion was too early.
After thinking about it, Dumbledore pulled out a piece of parchment from the pile of documents on the side.
Then he used magic to erase some of the content on it, and used a quill pen to modify some of the content.
While revising, he said:
"Merlin's socks, Douglas, I think I must tell you,
Regarding the position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts,
I had planned to have another well-known writer take the role..."
Hearing this, Douglas frowned slightly, is this really the case?
Dumbledore smiled, pointed to the candy in the box beside him and said:
"If you feel bitter, I suggest you choose a Zizi Honey Candy.
You can taste the delicious candies while listening to me, this old guy, continue to finish talking! "
Douglass took good care of himself.
I chose a candy and put it in my mouth...
Dumbledore revised the content and put down his quill.
Then he crossed his hands on the table and continued:
"Of course, maybe I overestimate the influence of this old guy like me.
After receiving my letter, the other party did not accept my invitation.
In fact, my original plan was to go and invite him in person...
Oh, and thanks Minerva for reminding me that you wrote to Hogwarts a few months ago to apply for this position.
At this time, I thought, why not invite another writer to try.
Although he has always used a pseudonym to publicize..."
Speaking of this, Dumbledore blinked like an old naughty boy.
Then he handed the parchment in his hand to Douglas.
"This is an appointment letter for the head professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
As well as the work content, you can take a look first. "
Douglas looked at the parchment, which was two feet long.
It is filled with dense terms and conditions.
[…Appointed as Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts (Interim)…]
Douglas pointed at the parchment and asked doubtfully:
"Professor, this...?"
When Dumbledore saw Douglas with a puzzled expression, he seemed to have guessed that Douglas would ask this question.
“Oh, literally, obviously.
Mr. Holmes, I hope you can understand that although the school professors are selected and appointed by the principal himself.
However, due to your age...
certainly……
If I remember correctly, the last person to be appointed a professor at the age of 21 was Severus.
It's just that by that time, Severus was already quite accomplished in potions.
And when Horace (Horace Slughorn, Professor of Potions at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry (taught twice), Head of Slytherin House) left, he recommended him as the Head of Slytherin. ...
And you, to be honest, apart from your anonymous writings, you only had good grades when you graduated.
Of course, you don't have to worry.
This is just a review period, which can reduce the weak conflicts between you and your colleagues.
As long as you complete the academic year and are recognized by students and other colleagues, the appointment will automatically become official. "
Douglas really wanted to roll his eyes, what does it mean to reduce the weak conflicts between you and your colleagues.
Among the current professors at Hogwarts, the one who least wants to see himself at Hogwarts is
He couldn't think of anyone else besides that one.
Only he could stumbling upon Dumbledore.
However, I am not too repelled by this temporary appointment.
It’s an internship period, I understand.
Seeing Douglas agreeing so readily, Dumbledore was a little more surprised.
In fact, he has prepared a bunch of quotations to enlighten young people who are just entering the workplace.
After all, he is a young man, so he should be somewhat proud...
Of course, it was also because the young man in front of him was not a peaceful person when he was a student.
Dumbledore adjusted his glasses and said casually:
“Actually, I have a little immature suggestion here.
I can personally invite that writer to serve as this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor with you.
I think there will be a good exchange between you writers...
Of course, you still have to respect your ideas. "
Competition for jobs?
Eliminated in last place?
Wolf culture?
Douglas seemed to hear those distant yet familiar words.
Unexpectedly, I hid from one world to another, from the east to the west, from the Muggle world to the magical world.
I can still feel the fear coming from it.
Thinking of this, Douglas immediately stood up and said boldly:
"Please rest assured, Comrade Principal, I believe that I can take care of the Defense Against the Dark Arts in Hogwarts by myself."
After finishing speaking, he quickly signed the appointment letter.
snort!
Sign without regrets.
The moment Douglas had just signed.
There was a voice in my head.
[The academic master development system has been activated...]
Douglas breathed a long sigh of relief when he heard the voice.
The last time the entire system started, I gave myself a sentence.
[Conditions for starting the academic master development system: Join the school, countdown to two years. 】
As a time traveler, he naturally understands the meaning of this sound...
Although he roared in the sky for two hours.
But there is still a little joy in my heart. After all, systematic time travelers and unsystematic time travellers are simply two different concepts.
Although it is late, it is better than nothing. It is two and a half years...I said two years, which is a bit embarrassing.
Of course, as a person who has lived orthodoxly in the magical world for ten years, I also know a saying.
"Never trust what you think if you don't see where the brain is hiding."
So at first, Douglas, thought of using Occlumency to fight the system.
If he was not a Muggle, there wouldn't be much information to look up.
Maybe he would also choose to study soul magic.
In the end, looking at the countdown, Douglas chose to compromise.
With a small financial advantage, Douglass entered a university in London.
Although I stayed there for a semester, unfortunately,
Every morning, this sentence will still wake me up in the form of a countdown.
There is no intention to activate it at all.
Until one day, Douglas's Muggle teacher said to him:
"Dear Holmes, I want to train you to be my experimental assistant..."
Douglas suddenly had an idea and wondered if there was a possibility.
The name of the system is literally what it sounds like.
Cultivation can be about cultivating oneself or cultivating others.
In view of the fact that I have been disconnected from the Muggle world for too long,
In the end, he decided to submit an application to Hogwarts to try.
If not, then become a primary school teacher.
He felt that his former guardian, Dean George, would not care that he did not have a teaching qualification certificate.
…
I saw Douglas looking relaxed after signing.
Dumbledore seemed to have thought of something, and there was a smile hidden behind his half-moon glasses.
Then pick up the wand and tap it lightly in the air.
A phoenix summoned by the Patronus Charm spun in the air and then disappeared.
At this time, Fox, the phoenix located in the corner of the office, screamed at Douglas.
Dumbledore smiled and explained:
"Fox is asking you why you didn't bring him a gift.
In fact, since that one time, I've banned Fox from tasting the perverted hot sauce you taught the kitchen.
You know, it seems like it's kind of addicted to that stuff.
Therefore, when Mr. Douglas teaches at school, please do not feed him strange food! "
Speaking of this, Dumbledore rubbed his brow.
He suddenly regretted recruiting Douglas to Hogwarts.
Douglas also recalled the incident that almost caused Fox to die prematurely.
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he said: "Don't worry, professor!"
Who said people are more than thirty years old?
Although Douglas's soul age was already over forty years old at that time.
