Hogwarts: I really don't want to be a wizard

Chapter 15 Penello and the Unbreakable Vow
When Gretel was about to leave, Hagrid released the teeth that had been locked up long ago and stuck them in his crunching nest to prevent them from breaking free.

"Grete, I forgot to introduce you. This is Fang. Harry and the others were frightened yesterday. I closed it specially this morning. I won't close it next time you come. I will close it today." It’s a little unhappy.”

Then he lowered his head and said to Yaya who was stuck in his armpit: "Remember, this is Gretel, next time he comes again, don't scare him."

Seeing that Ya Ya was about to pounce on him with his big tongue out to express his closeness, Gretel quickly stood up and left.

-

Entering Professor Flitwick's office, Gretel saw a girl sitting upright opposite the professor.

The upper body is a sleeveless black jacket, with a white shirt underneath, and a red and white plaid pleated skirt on the lower body. Only the Eagle Academy emblem is pinned on the chest to indicate her academy.

"Gretel, this is Penelope Clivet, a fourth-year student," Professor Flitwick introduced, sensing Gretel's appraising gaze.

Turning his head, the professor introduced Gretel's identity to Penello, "This is..."

"Professor, you don't need to introduce me. We have already met on Monday morning. This is the famous genius McGarrett who helped us Ravenclaw earn a lot of House Cup points in the first week of school. "

Penello teased with a smile in his eyes.

Gretel touched his nose and said, "Senior Penello, let me formally meet McGregor, a first-year Ravenclaw student. Thank you for your help on Monday morning.

I have been wanting to express my gratitude to you these past few days, but I don’t know your name and I have never met you, so..."

Penelo stretched out his hand generously, "Penelope Clivat, a fourth-year Ravenclaw, can do it with just a little effort, so there is no need to worry about it.

Of course, if possible, I hope you can cooperate with me and act pitiful, then the professor will take out the small cake hidden in the drawer to comfort us. "

Gretel shook hands and nodded, "That's natural. The professor hates it when we are unhappy. He will be generous and take out all the small cakes, and then let the cakes dance in front of us."

Flitwick feigned anger, stretched out his finger and tapped a few times, "You guys, you still dare to plot my little cake in front of me. It seems that I, the dean, have come to an end."

But having said that, the professor still opened the drawer, took out his wand, and directed the little cakes to crawl out.

-

"So, Senior Sister Penello is the person the dean said and arranged to come and study with me."

"According to your current progress, the first, second and third grade students cannot keep up with your research. The fifth grade seniors are busy preparing for the OWLs exam. The sixth and seventh grade students are preparing for graduation. Only our fourth grade students are busy preparing for graduation. Fairly qualified.

But other people are either not interested in your project or are not qualified for it, and in the end it’s just me who picks and chooses.

The dean also said that it depends on what you mean. After all, it is your project, and you have the right to choose and decide who will study with you. "

Gretel thought for a moment and looked up at Flitwick.

The dean smiled and stuffed the small cake into his mouth, "Penello is the one in the entire fourth grade, I mean the entire fourth grade in the four houses of Hogwarts, who has the most solid knowledge in magic theory. I I believe she will be qualified for this job.”

After receiving Flitwick's assurance, Gretel cleared his throat and said squarely, "Ms. Penelope Clivet, before we become official partners, I have something to say.

Due to the current economic situation, I am temporarily unable to pay you a matching salary, so I can provide you with two ways of cooperation.

One is that you are hired as an employee by me, limited to years. Starting from the first year, I will provide you with a fixed salary of one hundred galleons per month, and then increase by 5.00% to [-]% every year until you or I live. Stop payment at the end of time.

Of course, when I first settle your back wages in full, I will attach the interest you deserve.

The other is to not pay salary. You participate in my research as a partner. After the results are produced, you can get 30.00% of the profit from the research results. Believe me, that is by no means a small sum of money.Let’s be honest, this research is very important.

So no matter what kind of cooperation method, we need to establish an unbreakable oath under the witness of the dean. You can choose to give up, but I will never take back my conditions. I hope you will consider it carefully. "

Flitwick was leaning back on the special soft chair in an old-fashioned way, observing the two students in front of him who could be said to be his most satisfied, both talented and motivated.

He was even imagining that the two outstanding talents in front of him would merge and become famous in the magic world sooner or later. As the dean, he would be able to compete with Yourong.

Who would have known that as he listened, he heard something extraordinary. Flitwick's eyes widened and he stood up with a serious face.

Before he could speak, Gretel looked at him with determination in his eyes, "Professor, believe me, my oath is by no means a unilateral constraint.

You don't know how big a market it is, and money touches people's hearts. Please believe me, the unbreakable vow is the best protection for both of us, not only for me, but also for her. "

On the other side, Penello's expression changed from relaxed to serious. She swore that she was able to come upon the invitation because, firstly, she was the only one who was free, and secondly, she was really interested in this project.

But I never thought from beginning to end that such a serious scene would happen.

For a moment, the words "unbreakable oath" struck her like a thunderbolt.

As a wizard who was born in the magic world and had been exposed to it since childhood, how could she not know about the unbreakable oath?

What is an unbreakable vow? It is a vow that is stronger than the blood bond between parents and children, or the oath taken by husband and wife.

Once a contract is made, it can never be broken. Anyone who breaks the oath will be taken away by death, without exception.

"I need time to think about it." Penello left in a daze, even forgetting to take away the little cake that he cherished so much.

……

As soon as Penello left, most of the serious atmosphere in the entire office disappeared instantly.

Gretel sat down carelessly as Flitwick looked him up and down.

"Professor, don't look at me like this. I'm serious. Without the protection of an unbreakable oath, I wouldn't even dare to risk my conscience.

You definitely don’t want to see your two students face to face one day in the future, and they will be inseparable. "

Filius Flitwick sat down again, "I will discuss this matter face to face with Dumbledore. As you can guess, Dumbledore is very afraid that you will go astray. He has already talked to many professors Passed the anger."

Grete said it didn't matter. In fact, if he didn't trust these professors enough, he wouldn't have chosen to do research now. After all, after graduation, his knowledge would definitely support his independent research.

Coupled with a vision beyond the times, becoming the number one in the communications industry among wizards and even the entire Muggle world is just a matter of picking it up. Compared to starting research now, it will only take a few years at most.

"As Dumbledore said, sometimes you really don't look like a child, your way of thinking is very mature, and you are very determined.

Are all the children who come out of the orphanage so determined in their ambitions?That person is like this, and so is you. "Professor Flitwick shook his head and wondered.

　　Gretel (expressionless): Sorry, I like big ones. (pointing to brain)

　　Penelope (twisting her hair): I can’t help it, sister, you’re still far away, come on, I’m optimistic about you.
