Chapter 458 I'm Just an Ordinary Person

In response to Sebastian's question, Ginny smiled and shook her head, obviously not in a hurry to give an answer.

"I'm only in the fourth grade when school starts, and I haven't figured out what I want to do in the future." She said easily, with a hint of casualness and anticipation in her tone.

"In fact, there are so many jobs that I'm interested in. A well-paid position like Swann Alchemy is very attractive. A position in the Ministry of Magic is also good. After all, my parents always nag us to join the Ministry of Magic after graduation."

She paused slightly, a glimmer of longing in her eyes: "However, influenced by Charlie, I think it would be nice to find a job that doesn't require me to sit in an office."

At this point, Ginny raised a smile: "I am an avid Quidditch fan. If I have the opportunity, becoming a professional Quidditch player after graduation is also a good choice!"

"Sure," Sebastian smiled gently, "I remember you were a member of the Gryffindor team. You can try out for the school team after school starts."

"The Magic School Quidditch Cup is very popular and has a wide audience. If you can perform well in the competition, it will be easier for you to join your favorite team after graduation."

Ginny nodded. To be honest, she had wanted to try out for the school team last year, but unfortunately there was the Championship and no Quidditch matches were held for the entire year.

However, since Wood and Marcus graduated, two spots on the school team have become vacant, and everyone is eyeing them. For example, Angelina Johnson, captain of the Gryffindor team, is determined to get a spot on the school team.

Add in members from other colleges, and the competition will surely be fierce.

"Ginny," Harry volunteered, "I remember you were good at both Seeker and Chaser. Perhaps you could try to compete for the Seeker position."

Seeker?

Compete with you?

Ginny looked at Harry in confusion, not understanding why he would give her such advice.

"It's like this. After school starts, I plan to quit the school team and spend more time practicing spells. Then the position of seeker will be vacant. You can give it a try."

"Of course, this is just my suggestion. You can also try to compete with Fred, George and Cedric for the position of Chaser, or try Beater. It depends on your personal preference."

Harry explained in a very casual tone, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

He had already made this decision a long time ago. After all, he was not planning to become a professional Quidditch player after graduation. He usually played Quidditch more for relaxation and entertainment. But now that the war was approaching, he had lost interest in Quidditch.

Compared to Harry, Ginny and others were not as calm as him. Although they understood Harry's reasons, it was still not easy for them to accept it emotionally.

"Oh my god," Ron sighed, "Cedric is so pitiful. He finally became the captain of the school team. He was full of energy and was ready to lead the school team to win another championship before graduation, just like Wood did back then."

"As a result, half of the team members are missing. More importantly, the seeker quit. Now the team has some time to get used to each other."

"Honestly, if I were Cedric, I would go crazy in no time."

Ron's words amused everyone. Harry smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Ron, aren't you the goalkeeper of Gryffindor? You can also try to run for the position of goalkeeper of the school team."

"No," Ron thought for a moment, then smiled and shook his head. "After hearing your decision, I'm also going to give up Quidditch. The war is approaching, and I must work hard to improve my strength. You are my good buddy, and I will fight with you when the time comes."

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked firmly at Hermione who was sitting next to him: "Hermione was born a Muggle. When the war starts, her situation will definitely not be very good. As her knight, you must be strong enough."

Hearing this, Harry and the others started to make a noise, the scene suddenly became lively, and the smile on Sebastian's face spread to his ears.

Good guy!

Is this guy really Ron?

Since he came to his senses, his emotional intelligence has become so high that he can hook Hermione into a fight with just a few words.

But you are openly showing off your love here. I will have to train you well when the special training starts, otherwise I will let down your determination.

The little guys played around for a while and then quieted down. Then it was Neville's turn. He did not choose to consult individually, but spoke directly.

"Professor, Hannah told me that she plans to open a gourmet food store in the new city of Hogsmeade after graduation so that all the wizards who come to the new city can taste her cooking."

"So, I want to help her run the store and make it a famous gourmet food shop in the wizarding world."

"However," Neville's tone was full of struggle, "I also want to be an Auror like my parents and fight against the dark forces."

"Besides that, I also want to become a master herbalist and delve deeper into herbal medicine."

There was one thing Neville didn't say in full, which was that if possible, he also wanted to become the Herbology professor at Hogwarts.

However, he was too embarrassed to say this out loud, so he just kept the thought in his heart.

"Neville," Sebastian encouraged with a smile, "You will still be very young when you graduate, not even 20 years old, so you can help Hannah through the most difficult early stages of opening a store."

“Once your business is stable, you can hire employees and then pursue your own business.”

"As for Auror and Herb Master, if you really can't make a decision, then give both a try. Youth is your greatest asset. Before you turn 25 or even 30, you can try as much as you can and finally choose the path you like best."

It's still possible...

Neville was slightly startled, and his tangled emotions suddenly became clear.

It turns out that life is not a multiple-choice question, and there is nothing wrong with trying more.

At worst, I can learn from Professor Swann and then apply for a professor position at Hogwarts when I turn 30.

It was Ron's turn. He scratched his hair and smiled sheepishly: "I want to work at Swan Alchemy and live a stable life working from nine to five."

"I think I'm just an ordinary person, so after graduation I just want to find a well-paid job and live a happy life with my family. When I have time, I can go back to the Burrow to visit my parents and spend time with them. I'll be satisfied."

"Compared to Hermione and the others, I don't seem to have any lofty ideals. Professor, please don't laugh at me."

It’s a very simple and beautiful wish, or perhaps it’s the wish of most people in the world.

Sebastian looked at Ron, and the smile in his eyes became gentler. He shook his head and said softly, "Ron, how can such a wish be worthy of ridicule? On the contrary, it is a kind of courage and wisdom. You know, this kind of life is a luxury for most people."

He paused and added, "Life doesn't necessarily require lofty goals. Sometimes, ordinary happiness is the most precious thing. Swan Alchemy welcomes you at any time. By the way, let me remind you that the highest salary in Swan Alchemy is in the R&D department. Fred and George are now excellent interns in that department and will be able to become full-time employees immediately after graduation."

"If you also want to join the R&D department, you have to keep working hard in the next three years."

Ron nodded, thanked him earnestly, and then put a smile on his face again.

"If Fred and George knew that you were praising them again, they would be so happy. By the way, professor, can I ask what they are doing during their summer internship? They are so secretive all the time."

"As for them," Sebastian smiled, "it's normal for them to be secretive. Their work concerns the future of the wizarding world, so they signed a confidentiality agreement."

About the future of the wizarding world?

Now everyone's curiosity was aroused, and Hermione took the initiative to ask: "Professor, is there anything we can do? We can help."

Sebastian chuckled softly and asked the question directly instead of answering Hermione directly.

"Hermione, you are planning to work in the Ministry of Magic, so I want to test you. Apart from the You-Know-Who, what will be the biggest challenge for the wizarding world in the next few decades?"
