The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

That figure was very unfamiliar, and judging from the outline of the shadow, it was an adult male.

Hogwarts, resident pool, adult male character.

It seems that there is only...

"Snape from Spider End Alley is here as requested. I won't excuse you for small talk. If you want to study the secrets of potions, I'd be interested."

Severus Snape! ! !

This time, the shipment was not guaranteed, and the person who shipped the goods was not the great astrologer Trelawney. Tom felt this was incredible.

It feels like the sun is coming out from the west.

[Potion Science Talent +1]

Sure enough, Snape added a talent for potions.

Tom's Potion Science talent is now 6 points, which is still within the category of extraordinary talent. The fifty rounds of card draws just now have reduced the number of magic stones he has to 27,000.

Tom was a little confused: Should he forcefully whip Lockhart? Lockhart probably couldn't give himself any talent points, he could only give him a Forgetting Charm, which would be a huge loss. You know, now that Lockhart is in his hands, it is very simple to learn how to learn the Forgetting Curse.

Tom also thought about when Lockhart taught him the Forgetting Curse and returned the memories he had stolen, and when he would let him go free - of course, he would use Lockhart to test the effectiveness of his learning of the Forgetting Curse.

Tom was still confused.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the office door. Tom turned into Lockhart and opened the door, only to find Dumbledore standing outside.

Seeing Tom, Dumbledore showed a smile that Tom couldn't see through: "Professor Lockhart, I didn't expect you to come today. I thought you would have to repair it for a few days."

Tom showed a standard Lockhart smile: "If I ask for leave again, you may have to deduct my salary."

Dumbledore showed a mischievous smile: "This week is your paid vacation. When can you start teaching?"

To be honest, most people must have only one answer at this time: start as soon as possible, but Tom still hesitated and finally asked Dumbledore for another week of leave. The reason is also very simple, he needs to find "teaching materials".

Although the new employee was summoned by the police on his first day and then asked for two weeks of paid leave, Dumbledore still showed great tolerance for Tom's transformation into Lockhart - he not only approved Tom asked for leave and even said that if necessary, he could help Tom catch those dangerous magical creatures.

However, he also hinted tactfully: Tom could not take any more leave. After all, the young wizards at Hogwarts had already had two weeks of self-study in Defense Against the Dark Arts.

After chatting for a while, Dumbledore took out a roll of parchment.

"Come, let's sign a contract and let you become the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts." Dumbledore smiled and seemed to be in a good mood.

Tom took the contract and read it carefully.

The title of the contract is: Letter of Appointment as Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts, and there is a line of small print below: Academic Year 1992-1993.

Tom looked at Dumbledore: You didn't even polish the contract! Is this a tacit admission that new professors can only last one year? Or have you considered the issue of subsequent liquidated damages?

Dumbledore coughed twice: "This is just a probationary period. If you want to continue teaching after one year, of course I welcome it..."

Tom:…

Then he continued reading.

There are very few restrictions on the professor in the contract, and there are no restrictions on the teaching content - you can even introduce black magic in class. The professor himself also has the authority to add and deduct points, but the number of points added and deducted for each class is limited. As a junior teacher, Tom can add and deduct ten points at most for each class.

If there is no external interference, this should be the limit of the new professor.

Tom can also punish students with confinement, but he must write a written report to Dumbledore and the dean of the school where the student is located. In theory, these two people will not reject Tom's application for confinement.

Hogwarts will provide professors with dormitories and free medical services at the school hospital. If they are injured on duty and go to St. Mungo's Hospital of Witchcraft and Wizardry during their tenure, the school will also reimburse the medical expenses.

It is worth mentioning that the professor's monthly salary is as high as 80 gold galleons - Dumbledore can offer Dobby a weekly salary of ten galleons every week, and he is even more generous to the professor. It is said that the monthly salary of a dean and vice-principal like McGonagall is as high as three digits, which is almost the salary ceiling in the magic world.

Tom read the contract carefully and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he cut his finger and put a bloody fingerprint on Party B.

The moment the contract was signed, Tom felt as if he had a subtle connection with Hogwarts.

And a message popped up on Tom’s system:

[Task: Wandering in the world. Goal: Explore the magical world

Four stages of progress: 8/8 Unlock your own office in Hogwarts

Mission reward: Five-star skill Legilimency clue]

Tom thought the reward was interesting. He had previously checked in at the Forbidden Forest, Hagrid's Hut and Spider's End Alley, and this time his office happened to become the eighth anchor point.

Tom received the mission reward and by the way took over the fifth stage of worldly wandering.

At this time, Dumbledore had put away the contract and walked to the door of the office. But before he left, he said something to Tom that made Tom's hair stand on end: "The ring is very beautiful."

Tom looked at his ring immediately after he left. Dumbledore didn't say that he hadn't realized yet: this ring might become his weakness.

So he took out his wand and tried to transform the ring, but found that the transformation spell didn't work. Tom stood there, pondering for a while, then found a small piece of gold, then flattened it and wrapped it around the ring. So the six-sided soul ring turned into a rough gold ring.

After finishing these chores, Tom had time to look at the so-called Legilimency clues.

Tom clicked on the clue, and it clearly stated that there are three ways to obtain the five-star skill Legilimency:

1. Learn from Snape.

2. Learn from Dumbledore.

3. Secret room.

Tom dropped the first two options directly. joke! How could he go to study under a teacher? Find Snape or Dumbledore and say: Professor, I want to learn Legilimency?

Stop it. It is estimated that they will use Legilimency on you first. Learning this magic is as questionable as engineers hoping to learn how to make a 2nm lithography machine.

Although this spell is not one of the three Unforgivable Curses, its oppressive power is no less powerful than the Unforgivable Curses: the Death Curse takes people's lives, the Cruciatus Curse tortures people's bodies, and the Soul-Impering Curse twists people. Will, while Legilimency is about prying into other people's privacy. For some people, certain memories are something they would rather die than let others pry into.
