I Have a Big Problem with My Hogwarts

[You have received a sincere compliment from Adrian Fox, the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, and he intends to make an investment in you. 】

[Offensive and defensive spell talent +1, offensive and defensive spell strength +1, black magic talent +1, black magic strength +1]

Lynn was startled.

It is not surprising that he can add points to being praised by professors. After all, this has been reflected in Professor McGonagall before. As long as the praise is sincere, professors of various disciplines will add points to various magics accordingly.

He can understand the compliments from the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, adding points to the offensive and defensive spells.

But... what the heck is adding a little bit to the black magic talent?

You are Defense Against the Dark Arts! Black magic is getting stronger and stronger, you defend yourself!

Moreover, his talent in black magic is already high enough. Does this add on to make him a dark wizard?

Fox thought that Lynn was considering his proposal to invest just now, so he didn't bother, but was happy to see the lamb that was just served in the hot pot alone.

After thinking about it, Lynn speculates that there are three possibilities for this to happen:

The first one is the most likely. The problem lies in the class of Defense Against the Dark Arts, which itself is very special.

The second is that Fox not only praised him just now, but also added points to him for his investment intention, but there is no explanation for why it was added to black magic, so the second may be a bit far-fetched.

The third type is also the one that Lynn is most inclined to, that is, his professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, his own problem...

Fox noticed that Lynn was looking at him, and asked aloud.

"How are you thinking?"

"Although I am living alone now, I will have a fixed monthly living allowance, so... I'm sorry professor, I'm not short of money."

Lynn didn't get complimented twice, and after drinking two sips of beer, he was proud to forget the east, west, north and south.

Investors invest for returns and returns. Now they get a sum of money that they don’t really need. Who knows what they will pay in the future.

Lynn's refusal didn't surprise Fox, who wasn't treating him like a child now.

"Although you are very smart, you don't know much about the magic world, Belloc." Lynn was full, but Fox was still putting potatoes and lettuce into the hot pot.

"The currency of the wizarding world is not the same as the currency of Muggles, oh, the Muggle here refers to ordinary people who do not know magic and believe in magic.

Although Gringotts, the bank of the wizarding world, has the business of exchanging Muggle currency for the currency of the wizarding world, that is, Golden Galleon, this exchange is not endless.

The goblins weren't fools, some of them even went to Muggle Oxford University to study economics and get a degree in disguise.

Therefore, the currency exchange rules they made are limited and fluctuated, and they can change at any time according to the currency inventory and economic needs of the magic world.

This year is very unfortunate. Because of the economic downturn in the Muggle world, they strictly restrict the exchange of currency. Even if you send a lot of pounds, you can only exchange it for ten Galleons at most.

Ten gold Galleons, a wand needs at least seven, and you have to keep some money for emergencies. Do you have any money for the rest of the school robe, books, cauldrons, etc.? "

Lynn's understanding of the magic world is really not in-depth, not to mention how much he still remembers the plot of the original work, even if he remembers all of it, many related details are definitely not introduced much in the original work.

Just like the currency, he really didn't know the specific exchange rules.

But ignorance doesn't mean Lynn has no doubts about Fox's words.

"But Muggle-born students like me are definitely not alone. If they don't have enough money to buy magic items, what will they do when they go to school? Hogwarts won't sit idly by, right?"

"Of course not. In previous years, if such a situation was encountered, the Ministry of Magic and the school board would jointly fund, and Hogwarts came forward to issue a subsidy to students from Muggle families. Although not much, it was enough to keep them close. Baba's daily needs are met. But these two years have been different. The Ministry of Magic and the Hogwarts school board are reducing school expenses, especially the school board is basically composed of pure blood families. The direction of the knife, of course, is you little wizards from Muggle families."

Fox didn't say it too directly. There are many twists and turns, the contradiction between Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic, the contradiction between Dumbledore and the school board, the contradiction between the academic school and the family faction, and the most important thing, the pure The contradiction between blood and non-pure blood.

"Dumbledore has made the best effort for you. In addition to the necessities such as wands, other things like school robes, books, cauldrons, etc., students from Muggle families can accept gifts from new graduates, that is to say You can use their used second hand stuff.

But I think, Belloc, you are definitely not a person who is willing to treat yourself badly. If there is a new one, who would be willing to use the old one? "

Lin En was speechless, but he was actually complaining to himself, that's not necessarily true. If it was the Potions textbook that the Half-Blood Prince had used, he would be very happy to use a second-hand one.

"So what do you need in return if I accept your investment, Professor?" Lynn asked.

The smile on Fox's face became more intense, and it was obvious that Lynn was moved.

"I need you to come to me after graduation and be my assistant for a few years."

"Assistant?" Lynn frowned, "Can't others? There are many talents in the magic world, right? Why must it be me?"

Facing Lynn's barrage of questions, Fox gave him a mysterious smile.

"I don't study ordinary things, Belloc, you haven't entered school yet, so you don't know much about the magic world. Even if I say it, you may not understand it. You just need to know that I will not let you You do something terrifying, but it will require extensive knowledge of magic, the ability to think from multiple perspectives, and… the ability to accept some things that the magical world cannot."

After listening to him, Lynn looked at Fox with a weird expression, wondering if what he said was black magic.

"You're so sure that I'll meet the requirements you're talking about after graduation?"

Fox smiled at him.

"So I said it was an investment, and if you didn't meet the requirements, it would mean that my investment failed, but the loss was just a sum of money.

Besides, maybe I won't live to the time you graduate from Hogwarts, and I'm not at all sure that I'll be able to get through this year without incident at Hogwarts. "

Lynn was lost in thought.

To be honest, he has no objection to black magic. Magic itself is innocent, and it is the person who uses magic who is guilty. What's more, he has a very high talent for black magic, and Hogwarts doesn't know it at all. To teach black magic, this was not an opportunity for him.

Of course, he can't be 100% sure right now that what Fox is talking about is black magic, but the odds are good.

Moreover, as he said, Lynn has not even entered the school yet, and there is no shadow of his graduation. In the middle, he will experience a series of events of Voldemort's restoration. No one will know what will happen. Know.

So Lynn made his decision.

"Good deal, Professor Fox." He held up his beer and blinked with a smile.

The station is short, the contract will be sent tomorrow, and if you follow up, you can make an investment now to make a fortune, and... begging for tickets!
