The Daily Life of a Hogwarts Warfare Professor

Victor faced the first ray of sunshine in the morning and got off the Knight Bus.

Stan, the conductor, apologized in a formal way and told Victor: Please don’t publish the story of us getting lost (almost plunging into the Atlantic Ocean).

Victor muttered a few perfunctory hums.I felt a little embarrassed for the two of them who were suffering from Dumbledore's earplugs.

Returning to Hogwarts, the cliff, and the castle, Victor gently spread his arms and embraced the place that started his magical life.

Argus, the porter, Filch and Mrs. Norris had also been waiting at the door for a long time.

When Filch saw Victor, he gave him an annoyed and contemptuous look.

...Aren’t you here to pick me up?

At this time, Dumbledore stepped forward and said something in the ear of Filch, who instantly became respectful.Filch seemed to agree reluctantly.

Then, whether it was an illusion or not, Victor noticed that Filch's attitude towards him had improved.

Even the title changed from "that damn Ravenclaw" to "Professor Eisner" four years ago.

"Professor Eisner, please follow me to see the arranged dormitories and offices."

Victor stretched out his hand and asked the other party to lead the way.

Filch walked ahead silently.Victor walked side by side with Mrs. Norris who was walking on the catwalk, and played games with Mrs. Norris with a little catnip extract that he carried with him.

When he was in school, he often asked his father to grow catnip on the farm to please the janitor's cat.

Four years later, this habit has not changed, and Filch's withdrawn and irritable character has not changed either.

Went all the way to the west tower.There is Professor Flitwick's office here, which can be accessed directly from the main building.Victor was familiar with the layout.

"Is my staff dormitory here?" Victor asked, pointing to the west tower.

If he remembered correctly, the only empty space in this tower was the owl loft on the top floor.Upstairs in Professor Flitwick's house.

Gu, no.

"...The tower that projects out next to it."

Victor followed Filch's instructions.

On the west wall of the west tower, a giant tree with a sparse trunk grew out of a terrace that had not been renovated for a long time.

A small tower was built among several main branches.

"It was originally the new Owlhouse. Here it is for you. Ha, now Professor Flitwick has to complain about the owl hooting on the top floor again."

"Oh, he wouldn't complain if he knew it was me who occupied the space in the new shed. By the way, my office?"

"There are many compartments in the tree tower, pick one for yourself."

After that, Filch hugged Mrs. Norris and left.From then on, he had one more place to clean and patrol every day.Wages have not been raised.

Victor comes to the tree tower.

It is said to be a tower, but it is actually only two floors.

It was probably originally a large space opened up for the owls to roam around.After Victor confirmed his employment, the upper and lower floors were temporarily separated.

Pushing aside the branches and vines with obvious pruning marks, Victor entered his private area.

The entrance on the first floor is a living room with simple and comfortable decoration. The wicker chairs and fireplace are all made from local materials, including tree roots and trunks introduced from the gaps in the wooden boards.

There is a study room to the left, which should be prepared as an office for Victor. Because I didn't know Victor's course design, I only set up tables and chairs.

To the right is the washroom and stairs.

The area is not big, just enough.

Victor went up to the second floor with satisfaction.

The height of the second floor is a little shorter. It is a large flat room with beds, wardrobes and other supplies stacked up. It is a bit messier than the first floor.

Filch is not doing his job well.

Victor shook his head helplessly and opened the trolley suitcase.

I picked a blank wall, hung an owl clock mailbox, and placed a private semicircular bookshelf in the corner of the room.

He opened the window and finally opened the wardrobe prepared by Filch and stuffed seasonal clothes inside.

Finish!My career as a people's teacher has begun!

Victor rolled happily on the bed.

Hogwarts is very quiet.There is still half a month before the start of school, and there are no little wizards playing Quidditch, and there are no voices from professors adding or deducting points.

It seemed that Victor was the only one left in Hogwarts.

He had never seen Hogwarts like this.Victor decided to take a walk, remember the past and look forward to the future.

He went straight to the auditorium.The flag from Slytherin's House Cup victory last school year was still hanging in the sky.

Victor secretly changed the flag to blue and bronze.After admiring it alone for a while, I felt that it didn’t match.

His aesthetics has become accustomed to the green and white Slytherin flag and the red and yellow Gryffindor flag hanging high in the Harry Potter movies!

What a tragedy for Ravenclaw.

When I was in school, I neglected the honor of the Academy Cup because I was too immersed in Egyptian magic.

When did Ravenclaw last win the House Cup?

Victor regretfully changed the flag back, and walked along the stairs to the topmost Ravenclaw Tower.

There is a Ravenclaw lounge here.

On the rustic wooden door, an eagle-beaked bronze door knocker is set on it.

Ravenclaw's offices are only open to the wise.No matter where you come from, if you want to enter, you must answer the questions on the door knocker.

Victor knocked on the door with familiarity.

As if he had just woken up from the silence, the door knocker paused for two seconds, and then in a gentle voice, he asked the challenger Victor:

"What was the first holiday created at Hogwarts?"

Victor almost didn’t even think about it:

"Christmas vacation. A winter vacation. Hogwarts gives this vacation just like winter gives farmers a respite. I hope students and farmers will take this opportunity to pack away their working tools, meditate, and sort out their harvests. Get ready for next year’s planting.”

"A beautiful answer. Welcome back, a traveler who has been away from school for four years."

Victor waved towards the door knocker and stepped into the Ravenclaw lounge.It was very quiet in the empty room.Not even half a person could be seen.

"Victor? 6? 1 Von? 6? 1 Eisner?" A female voice sounded from the back of Victor's head, and Victor was frightened.

He turned around helplessly and bowed pretentiously.

"Ms. Gray, long time no see. I think four years is not enough for you to forget me.

"In the Ravenclaw Lounge's Raven Ring Challenge, I am the wizard with the highest winning rate."

Speaking, Victor was still a little proud.

Lady Gray is a Ravenclaw ghost.Compared to those headless horsemen, she is a fairly harmless ghost.

At least in appearance.

Of course, it was this appearance and her charming personality that brought her disaster.

We still don’t know why the Slytherin ghost, Bloody Barrow, fell in love with her and killed her, and then both of them returned to Hogwarts.

What a bloody sadomasochism this is.

Victor would never say that he had witnessed Ms. Gray dancing with Bloody Barrow at the Observatory when he had stayed up late studying before.

Although the dance ended, Bloody Barrow was pushed down from the observatory.

Now in the lounge, Ms. Gray floats to the window and invites Victor to reminisce over the past while looking at the mountains.

Victor happily agreed, and felt that it would be better not to mention the past about Bloody Barrow. To be on the safe side, just talk about himself.

For example, when he was in fourth year, he answered a riddle that had troubled Ravenclaw for three hours. At that time, the raven ring asked:

If Hogwarts collapses and the portraits on the wall return to the sky, which constellation of stars in the sky will they eventually become? This requires the knowledge of astronomy...

"So, you are coming back to be an associate professor. And you are teaching an emerging subject." Ms. Gray learned about Victor's current situation from reminiscing about the past.

"Yes, that's why I'm here now." Victor said.

"I hope to take advantage of this quiet time in the lounge to complete the compilation of teaching materials."

"Interesting." Ms. Gray floated. "Why don't you go to the library? There are so many reference books there."

"No, the reference book I'm looking for is only available in Ravenclaw."

As Victor responded to the ghost, he began to look through the bookshelves in the lounge.

He remembered that on the fourth row of bookcases from the dome ceiling, the thing used as a partition...

Got it!

Victor pulled out a large white hard-covered book from the bookshelf.

Full of shock and awe!Even letting Hermione use it for entertainment would probably take a fortnight.But don't be fooled, there are no words or images on the cover of this book, and even the contents inside are blank.

A book of ignorance.

Victor blew the dust off the back of the book and prepared to start his work.
