The White Lord of Hogwarts

Chapter 12 We all have a bright future

Seeing that the senior didn't answer immediately, Hermione asked a lot of questions like a cannonball: "Not only that, but for combination locks, can the Unlocking Curse work? There are also those electronic locks and fingerprint locks in the Muggle world. Can the unlocking spells of wizards still work? This involves the principle of unlocking spells..."

Foxy: ...

Something is wrong, this year's juniors and juniors are not right!A counter-spell that can break the spell with a spell, and the other asks a very tricky question, who are they?Why can an ordinary unlocking spell cause so many problems!
Foxy thought that a person who taught herself spells was outrageous, but she didn't expect that she still had little knowledge. These two juniors were really refreshing her knowledge. have not thought!

"Uh, this, I—" Foxy's brain was overloaded.

"It's better to practice it." Love was also very curious about the questions Hermione raised, and it happened that they had a lot of "materials" at hand, which could be used for experiments.

"Practice?" Hermione and Foxy looked at Love together, a little confused.

"Try a few locks and you'll know?" Love handed the broken lock to Foxy, intending to start the experiment from here.

Foxy cast an Anti-Unlocking Charm on the broken lock, but that didn't change the broken nature of the lock, so although the lock couldn't be opened by the Unlocking Charm, it couldn't be locked itself either.

The next experiment was simpler. Love found all kinds of locks in his home, and asked Hermione to try to open them with the unlocking spell.

Rotary combination locks, fingerprint locks, electronic locks... There are many types of locks in Love's house. He took Hermione and Foxy to test them one by one, and found that the unlocking spells of wizards are only effective for purely mechanical locks. Electrically powered electronic locks, on the other hand, cannot be opened by an Unlocking Charm—they just fail, go into a dead state, and take a while to recover.

"Here, this is the answer. Do you have any questions?" Love stood squatting beside a safe, looking up at Hermione.

"I probably understand that the Unlocking Curse and Anti-Unlocking Curse can only work on undamaged mechanical locks!" Hermione said happily, and at the same time recorded this discovery in her little notebook.

While Hermione was taking notes, she also gave Love a sum of academic mastery points, which made him feel much better.

Love is paying attention to the mastery value, Hermione is taking notes, but Foxy is concerned about a very strange problem.

"Ahem, junior, does this safe belong to your family?" She looked at the safe that Love opened, and her brain almost stopped functioning: there was a cabinet stuffed with banknotes and jewelry, as well as a few brochures. .

"This is my family's house, so of course it is my family's safe, but I have never opened it—" Love was stunned in the middle of speaking, because he also saw the contents of that cabinet.

This is the safe in the study room, and Love doesn't know the password, he has never opened it before, so how could he imagine that there are so many good things in it.The moment he saw the collections in the cabinet, Love felt that he no longer had to search and search to calculate the balance when spending money in Diagon Alley.

"Does being a lawyer make so much money?" Foxy said half incredulously, half enviously, "Love, do you think it's possible for me to become a lawyer after graduation?"

"It's difficult, and it doesn't reflect the advantages of wizards." Love said truthfully.

To be a lawyer is to go to court to defend the defender. It is too dangerous to use magic to solve problems in public. If you are not careful, you will be sent to Azkaban.

Hearing what Love said, Foxy showed a disappointed look.

"You can consider becoming a dentist." Hermione looked away from her notebook: "The working environment of dentists is relatively closed, and you can safely and boldly use magic spells to restore patients' teeth."

"Sounds pretty good, and there are indeed quite a few teeth-cleaning spells..." Foxy and Hermione discussed the employment direction after graduation in this way.After discovering that Muggles seem to be much easier to make money than wizards, Foxy is considering becoming a dentist before graduating.

"Senior, don't you want to stay in the wizarding world?" Hermione didn't quite understand Foxy's thoughts. She didn't understand why a witch would choose the profession of Muggles.

"Because the pressure of competition for other comfortable jobs is too great." Foxy spread her hands, and said as a matter of course: "The competition for those well-recognized good jobs is very fierce. Although the Mysterious Man has collapsed for more than ten years, he has great influence on British magic. The trauma of the world still exists, the economy has been sluggish, the employment pressure is getting bigger every year, and the gold content of the Hogwarts diploma is getting lower every year, alas, it is too difficult!"

She sighed, looking sad.

There was a golden age in the old British wizarding world, when Grindelwald was running rampant in Europe.Perhaps out of respect for Dumbledore, he rarely set foot on the British Isles, which caused a large amount of capital to flow into the relatively peaceful British magic world, making the British magic world prosperous for a while.After Grindelwald was defeated by Dumbledore, Britain directly became the center of the magic world until the rise of Voldemort.

The second-generation Dark Lord Tom Riddle is different from Grindelwald. His activities are limited to the three islands of Britain, and he rarely sets foot in Europe and the American continent. In addition, he has no lower limit than Grindelwald, so a large amount of capital is also available. Fleeing from this turbulent country, the economy of the British magic world has never recovered. Even if the Dark Lord is defeated, the news that he may make a comeback at any time makes the capital uneasy, so the economy here has not recovered. Instead, the American magic world on the other side of the ocean has become the largest. Winner, won during Voldemort's rampage.

"Can't you join the government department?" Hermione used her common sense in life to point out a bright road for her senior to get rid of introversion and keep her income from drought and flood: to be a public official, to become a member of the civil official group, and to be a humble public servant.The girl learned from her father that the treatment of British civil servants is outrageous: generous salaries, a lot of vacations, and leisurely jobs. It is the golden rice bowl.

Foxy glanced at Hermione with sympathetic eyes: "Do you enter the Ministry of Magic to work for the bosses? Even a little wizard from a pure-blood family has to be used like an animal at the bottom of the Ministry of Magic for many years." I don’t know how many years it will take for one of the upper seats to become vacant. There is no such thing as a retirement age in the magic world—the old wizard who supervised Dumbledore’s exams is still working in a front-line position! When the upper seat is vacant, Everyone sharpened their heads and rushed upwards, and I don't want to live such a life."

"Then... how about staying in school as a teacher?" Hermione didn't expect the situation in the British Ministry of Magic to be so bad, but she still had a little luck: it would be better to seek development in academia, right?

"It's even worse!" Foxy shook her head like a rattle: "Let me tell you this, not to mention whether I can stay or not, none of the current professors at Hogwarts is married!"

Love, Hermione: ...

At this moment, the two suddenly felt that their future was bleak.Love and Hermione are fine, but Foxy really broke her defenses: After graduation, Love inherited his father's law firm, Granger worked in his own hospital, and Foxy stayed in the magic world to work. All have a bright future!

"So you can understand why I want to develop with Muggles?" Foxy's face was full of bitterness.

Love and Hermione sighed together.
