Chapter 274 The interview focuses on sincerity

"This is the first time I've heard of this kind of curse." Dumbledore asked with interest, "Where did you learn it?"

"I figured it out myself."

Hufflepuff's response made Dumbledore narrow his eyes: A wizard who can research such a level of magic by himself is definitely not an unknown person, but he has never heard of "Smith White" before. .

Dumbledore was a little suspicious of this mysterious Ms. White, because he happened to know that there was such a mysterious hidden organization, which cultivated many powerful wizards.

Could Ms. White be a spy for the Secret Order? A thought flashed through Dumbledore's mind. Judging from the name, Ms. White is most likely British or from North America, so it’s even more unreasonable that she has never heard of her name.

If the person in front of him came from some corner of Africa, Eastern Europe, or West Asia, then it would make sense that Dumbledore, who had settled in England for most of his life, had never heard of her name, but now this situation...

Dumbledore was convinced that Ms. White had used a false name, and he decided to test her further.

"Then which magic school did you graduate from?"

Faced with this question, Hufflepuff didn't know how to answer him for a moment.

She actually never went to a magic school. Her magic spells are either inherited from her family, taught by friends or exchanged from other wizards. She is completely self-taught - the other three founders and her situation Basically the same.

If she had been given a few days to prepare, she might have been able to come up with a reasonable origin, but Dumbledore's request for an immediate interview disrupted her plans.

She doesn't even know what famous magic schools there are in the world now!

"I am self-taught. The elders in my family taught me some spells, and I also learned some spells from the books left by ancient wizards." Hufflepuff decided to tell the truth, focusing on sincerity.

Dumbledore: ...

He didn't know how to answer the question for a moment, because White's statement was so nonsense. If a wizard of her level could be self-taught, then all magic schools would simply be closed.

"Where are you from?" Dumbledore decided to continue asking to see if the man in front of him could give a more outrageous answer.

"Wales."

The two fell into a long silence, and Dumbledore began to pick up the desserts one by one with his fork and put them into his mouth one by one.

He now felt that the probability that the lady in front of him was a spy of the Secret Order was extremely low. If she was really a spy, it could only be said that the Secret Order wanted to insult his intelligence.

There are too many flaws! So much so that Dumbledore thought that what Ms. White was saying might be true.

He looked up at Ms. White, and Dumbledore saw sincerity in her eyes. She seemed to be telling the truth.

Dumbledore also decided to be more honest and put out his inner doubts - this interview, from the interviewer to the interviewer, focused on honesty.

But before he could say anything, Hufflepuff started to make amends for himself.

"I can't actually be considered a person of this era. I was exploring a ruins before...and then something magical happened, and I was brought to this era by this kid." Helga pointed towards Les.

Although he was unhappy with Helga's adjectives to him, Les still smiled and perjured himself for Hufflepuff. At the same time, he was secretly shocked: Helga was too sincere and she really dared to say anything. ah!

Dumbledore raised his eyebrows: The experience of the person in front of him is getting more and more amazing.

Many things, because they sound too unreal, actually appear very real. Because the made-up story must be reasonable, but the real story does not need to be reasonable.

"Can you tell me in detail to satisfy the curiosity of an old man like me?" Dumbledore adjusted his half-moon glasses, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

"Of course." Then Hufflepuff told Dumbledore exactly what he had experienced before. Except for hiding his name, the other content was exactly the same as the real situation.

After listening to White's story, Dumbledore suddenly felt that this seemed quite reasonable? He found no flaws in the story, no signs of lying on her part. From the perspective of time travel, the mysteries surrounding Ms. White also have reasonable explanations.

Did the witch in front of me really come from hundreds of years ago? Magic is really amazing.

Although it sounds like a story, Dumbledore did believe Helga's origin.

Then there is only one question left: Which position should I assign her?

After hearing Hufflepuff's bizarre and tortuous life experience, Dumbledore had already made up his mind to hire this magical witch.

He was just wondering which subject Smith White should teach. Judging from her status, it seems that she can teach the history of magic, but this course already has Professor Binns, and Dumbledore is unwilling to make a replacement.

Judging from the positions currently vacant in the school, due to the lack of suitable teachers, the students' interest is also very low. It seems that she can teach Alchemy, which has been closed for a long time, as well as the two positions of Care of Magical Creatures and Defense Against the Dark Arts. Let her choose one of the two.

Contrary to what Les expected, there is a real chance that the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor will change this year! The reason is that Professor Kettleburn, who had been teaching Care of Magical Creatures, retired, and the teaching position of Care of Magical Creatures became vacant. Lupine, who is currently the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, is very interested in this knowledge and wants to switch to teaching Care of Magical Creatures. Fantastic Beasts - This situation is quite common in Hogwarts. The previous Professor Quirrell switched from Muggle Studies to Defense Against the Dark Arts.

The specific arrangement depends on White's ability and the wishes of other professors. If that doesn't work, Dumbledore can even open a new class to teach everyone about cooking magic! Culinary magic is one of the most important branches of magic in the wizarding world and is deeply loved by witches. Opening such a course will definitely be popular.

However, if he decided to offer subjects such as alchemy and cooking, he would definitely have to communicate with the Ministry of Magic and ask them to cooperate in adding this course to the OWL and NEWT exams so that students could receive certificates.

After informing Smith White about the position he could offer, Dumbledore crossed his hands and wanted to hear Ms. White's own thoughts.

"I can teach all these classes - alchemy, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Care of Magical Creatures and cooking classes. I can teach them all." Hufflepuff told Dumbledore that she was an all-around wizard.

"I can't afford such a high salary." Dumbledore responded jokingly, "How about showing me the magic you master first?"

Hufflepuff, of course, had no problem with that.

The second update is here. The next update will be at midnight.

So far, I probably owe you three chapters. Depending on the number of monthly tickets, I should be able to reach one thousand, which is six chapters.

Be prepared to pay off your debt in April!
