#8 - Chapter 8 Visiting the Professor

That old bat!

Still so proud and aloof!

Sebastian silently grumbled to himself.

He planned to visit the school's professors, some of whom had been his teachers, teaching at Hogwarts when Sebastian was still a student.

Others had gained teaching positions at Hogwarts after he graduated.

Sebastian didn't plan to miss seeing any of them.

Fortunately, the students had only just left for the holidays, and the professors were still at the school.

If he had waited a couple more days, he probably would have only found two or three lonely professors, as the professors had their own lives after all.

Before heading to Hogwarts, he had carefully considered the personality of each professor and then meticulously selected a series of appropriate gifts.

It never hurts to be generous with gifts!

Everyone would be colleagues in the future, so it was necessary to build a good relationship in advance.

Sebastian raised his hand to check his magical watch and realized it was already past lunchtime.

Heh! He hadn't expected to talk with Professor Dumbledore for so long.

Then he should visit Professor McGonagall first, as his employment procedures were still waiting for her to complete.

Alas! He really was a true Slytherin.

A shrewd Slytherin always knew how to handle interpersonal relationships skillfully.

If Sebastian had to choose the professors he admired, Professor McGonagall would definitely be number one.

In his opinion, although Professor McGonagall always maintained a stern demeanor, making almost all teachers and students feel awe towards her.

She treated the young wizards of each house equally and did not favor the young wizards of her own house just because she came from Gryffindor.

Thinking of a certain unnamed professor, Sebastian rolled his eyes countless times in his mind.

Why couldn't someone learn from Professor McGonagall!

Professor McGonagall's office was located on one side of Hogwarts Castle, a spacious and bright room with tall arched windows overlooking the distant Quidditch pitch and the Black Lake below the castle.

Knock, knock, knock!

Sebastian knocked on the door of Professor McGonagall's office and waited quietly.

"Come in!" Professor McGonagall's distinctive voice came from inside.

Pushing open the door, Sebastian saw an old desk in a corner of the office, with a copper pen holder and some Transfiguration Today journals on it.

Professor McGonagall was sitting behind the desk, engrossed in reading a copy of Transfiguration Today.

She wore square glasses on her high, straight nose, and her eyes sparkled with wisdom.

Professor McGonagall's hair was long and already somewhat gray. She didn't let her hair down but combed it back into a bun, which made her look very dignified.

Seeing Sebastian, Professor McGonagall was very happy. She stood up and warmly embraced Sebastian.

This was her prized student!

As soon as he entered school, Sebastian showed amazing talent in Transfiguration.

Then, in his first year, he joined her Transfiguration Club!

In the following years, Sebastian published many articles in major Transfiguration journals!

Allowing Professor McGonagall to shine in academic and educational circles for several years!

"Long time no see, Sebastian, I'm so glad to see you!"

Professor McGonagall's eyes revealed joy and warmth as she looked Sebastian up and down and said, "You've grown a lot taller, but you're still as handsome as ever!"

Seeing Professor McGonagall's reaction, Sebastian couldn't help but reveal his true feelings: "Dear Professor McGonagall, I've missed you so much!"

Then he took out the carefully prepared gift and solemnly handed it to Professor McGonagall.

"This is a manuscript of Russian wizarding transfiguration techniques that I've compiled. Some of the transfiguration ideas in it are very advanced and inspiring. I hope you like it!"

"In addition," Sebastian winked playfully, "I've also prepared a large portion of catnip!"

Professor McGonagall laughed heartily, "Good, good, good! I like them all."

She pulled Sebastian to sit down and said happily:

"Congratulations, Sebastian, we're colleagues now! I'll owl you the official employment documents."

Sebastian revealed an unconcealed smile.

"It seems Professor Dumbledore has already informed you. Please give me more guidance in the future!"

"After all, in front of you, I will always be your student!"

Professor McGonagall nodded with satisfaction and then pulled Sebastian, saying:

"I forgot to congratulate you, Sebastian. With your efforts, the England Quidditch team has made it to the top eight!"

"It's been many years since we've had such good results!"

"And from the first match of the Quidditch World Cup, you've maintained the record of catching the Golden Snitch within two minutes!"

"You're an international superstar now!"

"The Daily Prophet even gave you a catchy nickname — the Two-Minute Man. I've kept the newspapers."

"Because of you, we have a particularly high chance of winning the championship this year!"

Hearing this, Sebastian couldn't hold back!

What the hell is the Two-Minute Man!

Sebastian was furious in his heart.

The Daily Prophet!

Sooner or later, we at Swann Media will take you down!

Looking at Professor McGonagall, who was as excited as a little girl when talking about Quidditch, Sebastian didn't interrupt but listened with a smile as she continued.

"Ever since you sent me a Swann Alchemy magical television."

"I haven't missed a single game!"

"Look!"

Professor McGonagall pointed to the side, and Sebastian found many magical images placed on the top of the bookshelf next to her.

They were all Quidditch matches recorded by Swann Media.

"When I have time, I use this magical television to watch the live broadcasts of the games."

"If I'm too busy, I buy recorded magical images to watch on this television."

Thinking of this, Professor McGonagall became a little worried, and she quickly asked:

"By the way, Sebastian, if you're busy with work, what about Quidditch?"

Sebastian immediately patted his chest loudly!

"Don't worry! Professor McGonagall, it's just a small Quidditch game!"

"On the field!"

"No one knows the location of the Golden Snitch better than me!"

"It's enough to take just one day out on the day of the match!"

......

After chatting with Professor McGonagall for a while, Sebastian reluctantly got up to say goodbye.

After leaving Professor McGonagall's office, Sebastian visited Professor Flitwick and presented him with a precious spell manuscript.

Then he went to visit Professor Sprout and gave her many rare herb seeds, which made the Head of Hufflepuff House exceptionally happy.

Sebastian also met Professor Quirrell and gave him a super thick magical photo album, filled with magical photos Sebastian had taken in the Muggle world.

At this time, Quirrell was still the professor of Muggle Studies.

His office was filled with many wildflower specimens, all of which he had personally pressed during his travels.

Professor Quirrell enthusiastically introduced the origin of each flower to Sebastian, and his words were full of love for life.

Listening to Quirrell's words, Sebastian was secretly amazed!

This is too different from the image in the movie!

He's very sunny!

And he's still teaching at Hogwarts!

Putting the doubts in his mind behind him, Sebastian continued to head to the next professor's office.

After visiting all the professors, the sky was already getting dark.

Sebastian arrived in front of Snape's office.

He pushed the door open and swaggered in, shouting as he walked:

"Let's go, let's go, Severus, we must have a good drink tonight!"
