Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

　　 In the principal’s office, Zhang Xu and Dumbledore were sitting at the table, drinking tea and eating dessert while chatting.

　　 Dumbledore likes to eat sweets, and also likes to entertain guests with sweets.

　　 But Zhang Xu has always tasted sweets, because he was afraid that he would be fattened by two hundred catties.

When he returned home from the summer vacation last year, Zhang Xu’s father told Zhang Xu that if he became fat in the UK, he would be thrown into the Shiwan Dashan when he came back, and let him start the game with a knife. , I can only come back after losing weight.

　　 This makes Zhang Xu have to spare time every day to exercise.

　　 When Dumbledore finished the dessert, the plate disappeared, his face suddenly changed, and the kind old man from the previous moment became the serious headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

　　 Zhang Xu, who was already familiar with Dumbledore, knew that he was about to enter the topic next.

　　 "Mr. Zhang, what do you think of the Muggle Studies class?" Dumbledore asked.

　　 Zhang Xu was a little surprised when he heard that this was the problem. He thought that Dumbledore came to him to talk about the Basilisk or Lockhart. It turned out that Dumbledore said something that Zhang Xu didn't expect.

　　 At the beginning of this semester, Dumbledore has been handed over to the Vice President Professor McGonagall to take full responsibility for teaching matters. In Zhang Xu's view, it should be Dumbledore who had a premonition that he would leave the stage sooner or later, and began to transfer power to the next president, Professor McGonagall. So Dumbledore suddenly asked about a course, Zhang Xu was a little surprised.

Putting aside the hundreds of thousands of words in "Hogwarts Mutiny, Mutual Fire", "Megg's Curse" and so on, Zhang Xu replied: "I will not take this course until the next semester. I understand it. not much."

　　 "Then talk about what you don't know much about this course." Dumbledore seemed to go deeper on this issue.

　　 "This course is out of touch with the Muggle world. Many contents in the textbook are full of wizards' assumptions about Muggle arrogance, prejudice, and mistakes." Zhang Xu said after recalling the contents of the Muggle studies textbook.

"The Family Life and Social Habits of British Muggles", "The Muggles Who Have Discovered", "My Muggle Life", "The Philosophy of the World: Why Muggles Don't Like to Ask the Basics" These books have aging knowledge structure , Even the textbooks of the Muggle studies course on the side crooked, not allowing the wizard students to know much about the world of Muggles, only to make students misunderstand the world of Muggles.

　　 From this course, we can see the attitude of the British wizarding world towards the Muggle world.

"It is precisely because of this that Professor Keridi Bubaji submitted an application to me. She will temporarily resign as a professor of Muggle Studies after the end of this semester, and then she will live in Muggle society for a few years. She will return to Hogwarts in the next year as a professor of Muggle Studies." Dumbledore said.

　　 Zhang Xu thought to himself that none of the people who can become a professor is simple, and Professor Keridi Bubbaji’s unpaid leave for fun. If Dumbledore agrees and the job will remain after returning a few years later, it is whether the professors in the past few years will be accepted by that time.

　　 "Professor Keridi Bubbaji's first stop is to plan to live in China for a period of time." Dumbledore said.

　　 "No problem, I can solve this by myself. At that time, it won't be a problem to find her a Muggle job." Zhang Xu agreed.

　　 Dumbledore nodded after listening.

"It’s just a few years later that it’s hard to find a professor for Muggle Studies," Dumbledore said again. "Professor Keredy Bubbagui has no discrimination against Muggles and is willing to learn about Muggles. There are not many wizards."

　　 After all, I only worked as a temporary worker for a few years. If I retire on a long-term contract, many qualified people will rush to do it. Zhang Xu secretly complained.

　　 Then, Dumbledore looked at Zhang Xu and said, "So, I need your help, Mr. Zhang, as a professor of Muggle Studies in the past few years."

　　 Zhang Xu was taken aback, what is the situation of asking for his own help? Did Dumbledore want to find a Muggle Studies professor himself? In this case, it is not difficult, whether it is a professor of Muggle Studies or a professor of Twist Studies, he can ask domestic help to find it.

　　 Thinking of this, Zhang Xu nodded to Dumbledore and said, "No problem, how can I help?"

　　 "I hope Mr. Zhang you can serve as the acting professor of Muggle Studies in these few years." Dumbledore said.

　　 "噗"

　　 Zhang Xu squirted out a sip of tea and sprayed the phoenix on the side.

　　 Then there was a flash of fire and cool skin on Phoenix, evaporating the tea on his body, and then gave Zhang Xu a stare.

　　 Zhang Xu took out a small dried fish and handed it to Fox with an apologetic expression, only to be turned into gray by Fox’s wings.

　　 adjusted his mood by teasing Phoenix, Zhang Xu said to Dumbledore: "Professor Dumbledore, I am still a student, how can I be a professor?"

"It's just an acting professor, no problem. In the history of Hogwarts, there are many students who are studying as assistants to professors. When the professor is unable to attend classes, the assistant church acts as an acting professor to teach students." Dumbledore said. .

　　 "Uh, is that right?"

　　 "Yes. The last teaching assistant was Professor Bins's teaching assistant in the history of magic. It was originally planned that Professor Bins would become the professor of the history of magic when he retired soon. Later..."

"poor child."

　　 "He just had bad luck."

　　 "But I am only thirteen years old. Would the senior students agree with such a young and naive professor?"

"Mr. Zhang, your knowledge has conquered all the students in the school, I believe everyone will agree. And in China, hasn't a twelve-year-old boy appeared as prime minister? As long as I have the ability, I believe that age will not be an obstacle. ."

　　 "But I still have other courses to study. I usually spend almost all of my time writing homework."

　　 "If you are an acting professor, you will be exempted from all homework. The final exam will also be given preferential treatment."

　　 Having said so much, Zhang Xu found that Dumbledore was fully prepared.

　　 As for his status as a foreigner, Zhang Xu didn't mention it. Because he is at least a person, there will be a professor at Hogwarts who is not even a person in the future.

　　 Dumbledore saw that Zhang Xu did not directly object, and played another card.

"Mr. Zhang, if you agree, the school will give you the treatment of formal professors in the past few years, such as salary, year-end bonus, vacation, and the power to add and deduct points to students, etc.~www.readwn.com~ These are all Same as a formal professor."

　　 There is no five social insurance and one housing fund, and the benefits are not good. Zhang Xu murmured secretly.

　　 Zhang Xu decided that he seemed to be unable to escape, so he asked the last question.

　　 "Does the school board agree to this appointment?"

　　 Dumbledore smiled and took out a piece of parchment and pushed it in front of Zhang Xu.

　　 "The school board unanimously approved. As long as you agree, the appointment will take effect next semester."

　　 Zhang Xu picked up the parchment and looked at it. It turned out to be a certificate approved by the school board.

　　 Zhang Xu looked at the signatures of the approved board directors under the parchment, and found that there was no Lucius Malfoy's name. Just now Dumbledore said that "the board of directors passed unanimously." It seems that Lucius Malfoy was kicked out of the board, perhaps because of Dobby the house elf.

　　 Zhang Xu suddenly thought that the appointment of professors at Hogwarts seemed to be done without the school board's fanfare, and then he seemed to think of something, and then gave Dumbledore a questioning look.

　　 Dumbledore nodded softly.

　　 Seeing Dumbledore nodding, Zhang Xu thought for a while, and found that it seemed good to take the task. So Zhang Xu began to put forward his own conditions.

　　 "I hope that the content of the Muggle Studies class will be redesigned by me, the teaching materials will be up to me, and there will be some teaching equipment. I hope that the school will allow me to use it."

　　 "No problem." Dumbledore smiled and nodded and said, "You will be solely responsible for this class. You only need to submit a proposal before the end of the semester."

　　 Zhang Xu nodded, stood up and stretched out his hand to Dumbledore.

　　 "Happy cooperation, your Principal."

　　 Dumbledore shook hands with Zhang Xu.

　　 "Happy cooperation, Mr. Zhang."
