Chapter 165 Elegance, never out of style!
Dumbledore's Transfiguration Notes when he was young!
Not a test? For real!
Argus lowered his head to hide the gleam in his eyes.
When Dumbledore entered Hogwarts to teach, he was the professor of Transfiguration.
It is not an exaggeration to say that his Transfiguration is his specialty!
Even his father and Voldemort are probably inferior to him.
In the game, this notebook is definitely a golden prop!
As for becoming a professor's assistant, if Argus was not worried that this was a test from Dumbledore, why would he hesitate!
Now that the other party's attitude is confirmed and there is enough price, Argus will naturally not refuse.
After communicating with Dumbledore in detail about the course, the two officially finalized the subsequent Defense Against the Dark Arts course teaching.
Back to the Slytherin lounge.
Several chiefs immediately surrounded him.
"How is it? Chief?"
"When can our Defense Against the Dark Arts course continue?"
"What do the principal and dean say?"
Many young wizards who were originally reviewing seriously couldn't help but prick up their ears.
"The professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts has been selected, and the class will resume in a few days."
"The textbooks will be the same as those of previous years, so you can prepare in advance during this period."
Agus' words immediately put everyone at ease.
Especially the senior students in the fifth and seventh grades breathed a sigh of relief.
Whether it is O.W.L or N.E.W.t exams, Defense Against the Dark Arts is a compulsory subject, and the lack of professors' teaching has a great impact on them.
Especially when the exams are approaching.
After Hogwarts selected the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, they also understood a matter of concern.
"Chief, who is the professor chosen by the school this time?"
"It won't be another..."
A senior student in the seventh grade suddenly spoke, with a bit of nervousness in his expression.
Although he didn't finish, everyone could understand what he meant.
If the new professor has a teaching style similar to Lockhart, it's better not to go!
It's a waste of time!
As soon as this was said, the senior students became nervous again.
"Dean Dumbledore has already talked to me about the new professor."
"As for who it is...it cannot be announced yet."
"But I assure you that the new professor is not comparable to Lockhart in terms of knowledge or teaching level."
Aggs responded to everyone with a smile.
Everyone felt relieved after hearing this, and became more curious about the identity of the new professor.
...
Two days later.
Horace Slughorn came to Hogwarts Castle.
It was Professor McGonagall who was in charge of welcoming him.
"Minerva, long time no see!"
Slughorn taught at Hogwarts for as long as Professor McGonagall. Although the two did not have a deep friendship like Dumbledore, they had known each other for many years.
They could barely be called old friends.
"Long time no see, Horace."
"I didn't expect you to come."
Professor McGonagall was still very welcoming to Slughorn's arrival.
Compared to other people who didn't know the background, this old man who had taught at Hogwarts for decades was guaranteed in terms of both strength and teaching level.
"Minerva, I remember you've been in Hogwarts for more than 30 years, right?"
"Yes, it's almost 40 years." Professor McGonagall was a little emotional when she mentioned this: "Time flies!"
"In a blink of an eye, you're going to retire soon, right?"
"I don't plan to retire so early."
Professor McGonagall has spent most of her life in Hogwarts, and her feelings for Hogwarts are far beyond what Slughorn can compare to.
"Okay, let's talk about the past later. I'll take you to the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office to settle down."
"I've sent someone to call your assistant in advance, and you can communicate in advance later."
"Assistant!"
Slughorn's eyes lit up when she mentioned this!
The biggest reason he came to Hogwarts was for this genius who surpassed Voldemort in Dumbledore's words!
Professor McGonagall saw Slughorn's performance clearly, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
There was even more pride in her eyes.
"It seems that you have heard of Mr. Grindelwald's name a long time ago."
"Believe me, Mr. Grindelwald will not let you down."
"Hahahaha...Albus said so too!" Slughorn smiled even more when he heard Professor McGonagall's recommendation.
As the two talked, they had already arrived at the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office.
The things that originally belonged to Lockhart had been cleaned up.
Slughorn glanced around and simply put his belongings in order.
"Wait a moment, Mr. Grindelwald will be here soon."
"I won't interrupt your conversation."
Professor McGonagall had classes next, so she didn't waste any more time here.
Slughorn nodded and took out some of the items he needed.
When Argus came over, the room had been decorated.
There were two cups of steaming tea and a lot of exquisite snacks on the table.
Knock, knock, knock!
Even though the door was wide open, Argus still knocked gently.
Slughorn, who was preparing the textbook, raised his head in a hurry, and didn't even have time to close the book.
When I first saw Argus, I was attracted by his elegant aristocratic temperament.
"Hello, Professor Slughorn, I am your assistant in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class."
"Argus Grindelwald."
Yagus bowed slightly and saluted, showing respect for the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.
The polite gesture made Slughorn's favor double.
"Hello, Mr. Grindelwald, please come in!"
He opened the door in advance just to let Yagus in directly.
The provincial ones stay outside the door.
Unexpectedly, the other party still maintained aristocratic etiquette.
Others may still care about Argus' surname and bloodline, but who is Slughorn!
He doesn't care about this!
He raised his hand to signal Yagus to sit down.
Yagus responded with a smile, picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip.
There was a look of admiration on his face.
“Earl Gray black tea from Italy.”
Slughorn laughed, becoming more and more satisfied with Argus: "No matter how good the tea is, you have to be able to taste it."
"You are much better than Albus. He only cares about whether the tea is sweet or not!"
"It tastes good! Hahaha..."
"Try this again, my favorite pineapple preserves. If you weren't old enough, I would definitely ask you to try my treasured oak-aged mead."
Slughorn was as passionate about food and wine as any talented student.
Although Snape, Voldemort and others whom I met before were extremely talented, they didn't know much about food and wine.
In contrast, Yagus hits all his marks perfectly.
He looked at Yagus with undisguised affection.
After chatting with Yagus about food for a long time, Slughorn ended the topic and started talking about business.
"Mr. Grindelwald, first tell me about the progress of your previous Defense Against the Dark Arts class."
