Chapter 109 Employment Consulting

Harry's life has changed dramatically since last Halloween.

He could imagine the life he would have lived if Sirius had not been taken here from Dursley's home at No. [-] Privet Drive:

Seven days a week, 24 hours a day, he had to endure the humiliation and ridicule of their gang in front of Dudley's disgusting face.

All daily necessities-except for glasses-were used second-hand goods that Dudley had eliminated. At the same time, he had to listen to the preaching of Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon, saying that this was their generous charity, otherwise he would only deserve it. Live in an orphanage.

In the end, he may be sent to any public school, study there for a few years, and then find a job at the bottom of society after graduation, and live a mediocre life.

And now, the magical world of magic is opening its doors to welcome you.

"I really want to go to school tomorrow, I can't wait." Harry said half with longing and half with disappointment.

"It's already very fast. Think about this time last year, what were you doing?" Sirius rubbed Harry's head and tried to push down the disobedient hairs on the back of his head, but unfortunately he failed.

Harry closed his eyes and thought about it, and the expression on his face immediately fell.

"Last Easter, my cousin...that's Dudley, you saw him...took a group of people and blocked me in the toilet, trying to make me kneel into a toilet..."

Then he opened his eyes again, his green eyes sparkling.

"I don't know what happened, so I ran through the wall and ran to the next room... Dudley told Aunt Petunia about this after he went back, and it made her angry. I have never seen her talk to Dudley like that. "

"How can that idiot Muggle do anything to you?" Sirius laughed after hearing this, "But I have to find an opportunity to teach him a lesson for daring to bully you like this."

"I'm warning you, it's best not to mess around." Regulus glared at Sirius, "Unless you want to go back to Azkaban and stay for a few days."

"Just talking..." Sirius winked at Harry slyly, "But time is like this, sometimes it passes very slowly, such as when I was in Azkaban, every day was a torment. But when I was in school... it seemed like seven years had passed in the blink of an eye, and there were still many things I hadn’t had time to do.”

Speaking of this, Sirius' face was full of nostalgia.

"At this point, you are far inferior to your James." Regulus shook his head solemnly, "Obviously you didn't plan well."

"Where did you come to this conclusion?" Sirius immediately retorted unconvinced.

"Harry is the proof." Regulus pointed to Harry who was eating melon bread salad next to him.

It only took five seconds for Sirius to turn the corner and immediately shouted at an abnormally loud volume: "I don't want to make do with it, okay?"

"Oh?"

Sirius explained with a confident expression on his face: "Look... there is that girl from the Burst family. I suspect she has some relationship with Crabbe. She doesn't have to move to be the Quidditch goalkeeper. , can block the goal."

"Marlene McKinnon...that was a prank spread by Prongs. She and I just have a simple relationship...I will kill Travers sooner or later to avenge her."

"And Amelia, she always lectures me with a straight face. Isn't that just a violation of a few school rules?"

Harry's mouth was full of food and he looked confused. He had never heard of these names.

Although Regulus was still smiling tightly, the trembling muscles on his cheeks had betrayed his inner feelings.

Sirius clapped his fingers to himself, counting the girls with whom he had affairs with when he was a student: "...and that Zabini, she is indeed pretty...but as far as I know, now she is no longer She has been married five times, and the first four husbands died in suspicious circumstances, and each of them left her a large inheritance. You should have noticed that she has not taken the initiative since I left the family in the sixth grade. Having spoken to me, I doubt her motives for asking me to dance in the first place.”

"I don't think so. You rejected the other party's invitation in person, and loudly announced that being with girls is too boring, and it is far less interesting than messing around with your friends." Regulus said sharply, "A little bit No self-respecting girl can stand your attitude."

"What are you talking about?" Harry finally couldn't restrain his curiosity.

"Children, don't ask." They both replied in unison.

Therefore, Bertha Jorkins' first week after she officially took office was spent uneventfully. Since the Department of International Cooperation of the Ministry of Magic did not have many major things to do recently, Bertha just went to work normally and had no chance to perform. Showing off her ability to mess things up.

The Daily Prophet has welcomed back a familiar face: Rita Skeeter, but this reporter, who has always been known for her courage to write and speak out, has disappointed those who were looking forward to big news. Her latest articles The focus is on the tidbits about the lead singer of the Weird Sisters.Not a word was said about the movements of Barty Crouch, whom she had promised.

Instead, a rumor gradually spread like wildfire. It was said that Barty Crouch appeared on a small island near Northern Ireland and made a living fishing there.

"This must be a rumor. No one has been to that island. I have an informant who told me that the islands in that area are full of five-legged monsters." This is how Mundungus Fletcher and his business My partner said it, but almost no one believed what he said.

As the semester comes to an end, a large number of flyers, notices and recruitment brochures about various magical professions appear on the school bulletin board. Students in fifth and seventh grade spend a lot of time consulting them in their spare time. , in order to determine the direction of future development.

Gringotts is a relatively popular workplace. Although the bank's tellers are all goblins, wizards also play a large role, such as trainers who specialize in training troll security guards.

Every year, Gringotts recruits a new group of curse breakers and sends them to monuments, wonders, and places where treasures may be buried around the world to bring back valuable things for the bank.

Another attractive career is that of healer at St. Mungo's Hospital of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

This job is very suitable for students who are caring and volunteer to save lives, but the requirements are not low. Only the five main subjects of Potions, Transfiguration, Herbalism, Charms and Defense Against the Dark Arts can be taken in the NEWTs exam. Only graduates with "good" or above grades are eligible to apply.

Some are happy and some are sad. Some professions are overcrowded by graduates every year, while others are in an awkward situation where no one cares about them.

For example, the Muggle Liaison Officer, a Muggle Liaison Office under the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters, only needs an OWLs certificate in Muggle Studies, as well as enthusiasm, patience and a good sense of humor, but it is still difficult to find one.

Similar to the cold treatment received by Muggle liaison officers, there are also centaur liaison officers and werewolf liaison officers.

The busiest people during this period are the deans of the four colleges, because they must spare a lot of time to talk to the fifth and seventh grade students in each college and provide them with employment advice.

Regulus discovered that it had been a while since he had seen Snape patrolling the corridors and deducting points from students as usual.

Due to time conflicts with employment consultations in various colleges, only two people came to the Defense Against the Dark Arts class that afternoon.

One of them was Barnaby Lee.

"Mr. Li, don't you need to go to Professor Snape's place?" Seeing that he couldn't attend class, Regulus simply started chatting with them.

"He said that my grades meet the requirements of most professions." Li smiled and replied, "He told me to follow my instincts and do anything as long as I don't become a dark wizard."

"What do you have in mind? Cursebreaker? Or Auror?"

"I have considered these two careers, but I still think I should do something else..." Li looked out the window, the orange sun gradually setting, "During the Quidditch World Cup, I met an American. He They kept bragging to me what a great school Ilvermorny was and I felt compelled to check it out.”

"In other words, you don't plan to find a job, but to be a... traveler?" Another student was Charlie. After hearing Li's thoughts, he looked at his friend and foe in surprise. , a classmate who has been fighting for seven years.

"I'm not afraid of your jokes. In fact, I haven't thought about what I should do. Professor Black, you know my family..." Li withdrew his gaze and said sincerely, "I don't want to follow in their footsteps. I hope that in 20 years Finally, I can give my children some correct advice, instead of staying in Azkaban and playing with the dementors."

Charlie looked at Li in surprise. He had never known Li's family situation before.

"What's that expression on your face?" Li glanced at Charlie, then changed to his usual tone, "Maybe I will be more famous than Gilderoy Lockhart, and then you will want to buy a copy of my book. I still have to queue up all night in front of the bookstore..."

"I hope you get what you wish for," Regulus said with a smile.

"I've revealed my darkest secret, what about you? Red Hair?" Li looked at Charlie provocatively.

"I still decided to become a dragon trainer." Charlie said seriously. "After graduation, I will go to Romania, which is currently the most important fire dragon sanctuary in the world. In addition to the Romanian Longhorned Dragon, there are also There are other types of fire dragons..."

"Have you really not considered becoming a professional Quidditch player?" Regulus asked, "I have also watched a few games. The seekers of the England team... to be honest, their abilities are limited. With your talent, After playing in the professional league for two years, it will not be a problem to enter the national team... Ever since Ludo Bagman retired, the England team has not had decent fresh blood for a long time."

"Professor McGonagall asked me the same thing." Charlie said with a smile, "But I think that since I like both professions, I would rather choose the one that can use the knowledge I learned in school. This way you won’t waste these seven years of study, right? You can play Quidditch at any time, but if you miss Fire Dragon, you won’t have a chance.”

"That's a good reason, but I have to remind you that to be a dragon tamer, your NEWTs Charms, Defense Against the Dark Arts and Care of Magical Creatures must be 'Excellent', as well as Potions, Herbal Medicine and Transfiguration. At least it's 'good'."

"I can definitely do it."

As a result, the missing class turned into an alternative employment consultation.

There were still 10 minutes left before the end of get out of class, when Tonks ran in in a hurry. Before she could stand still, she hurriedly asked: "Did I miss anything?"

"You missed the historic moment when Weasley showed his true feelings." Barnaby Lee raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Tonks turned her gaze to Charlie in confusion. Charlie shook his head hurriedly and said, "Show your sincerity to the fire dragon, don't get me wrong."

"So, you really plan to become a dragon tamer?" Tonks opened her eyes wide, with an expression of excitement and anticipation on her face, "That must be very exciting, I really want to see a real fire dragon! Come on! I will definitely come and play with you when the time comes!"

"What about you? Do you mind revealing your career plans?" Li asked.

"Become an Auror." Tonks said seriously, her smile gone.

"You? Auror?" Li looked a little incredulous. "Aurors require more than just certificates from five NEWTs. I heard that they also need to pass a series of rigorous personality and intelligence tests in the Auror office. In the past five years, It seems like not many people have been hired.”

After speaking, Li looked Tonks up and down, his eyes full of disapproval, but Tonks rarely refuted him.

"Intelligence and personality tests? What are they specifically?" Charlie changed the subject, trying to break the awkwardness.

"The ability to withstand pressure; the practical application of defensive skills; the ability to adapt to extreme situations; the ability to make timely judgments... and the like, as well as perseverance and dedication."

Regulus spoke, and both Lee and Tonks' eyes focused on him.

"...You can't get the Auror qualification certificate immediately after graduation. Instead, you need to go through about three years of training. Usually, each trainee Auror will be specially guided by an experienced Auror. You can Understand it as a master-student relationship. If you are unfortunate enough to become Mad-Eye Moody's subordinate... then this life will be very difficult." Regulus concluded.

"Sounds good." Li smacked his lips.

"Do you regret it? I think you should stop being that inexplicable traveler. Auror is quite suitable for you." Charlie gave advice.

"I don't want to be bound by so many rules and regulations," Li said dryly.

Both of them soon discovered that Tonks, as the person involved, did not react much, as if he had already prepared for all this.And their Professor Black was not surprised by this.

They also wisely refrained from continuing the joke.

After class, several people left the classroom one after another. Regulus stayed in the room, looking out the window at the sunset gradually setting below the horizon.

When he was in school, he had never experienced any employment counseling.

Especially for those relatively outstanding graduates, there are actually only two roads before them, to be loyal to Voldemort or to fight against him.

Once they make a mistake and want to turn back, they will find that their escape route has long been blocked.
