Seeing this book, Wang Xuebin seemed to have guessed something, raised his eyebrows slightly, looked up at Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall, and said slowly:
"I like your gift very much...but I just don't know if I can hold this gift..."
As he spoke, he put the book back on the tea table, leaned back, crossed his right leg over his left leg, crossed his fingers on his right knee, and looked sideways at the two.
"There is an old saying in China that goes to the Palace of Three Treasures for nothing, and I don't know the intention of your visit, Mr. Dumbledore?
No...I really came to apologize..."
Chapter 441 The Pure and Enviable Professor McGonagall
The flames in the fireplace were slowly burning. In the room, apart from the occasional beeping of firewood, the only sound was the breathing of the three of them.
Wang Xuebin and Dumbledore, two old... visionary people are alright, although one looks a bit foolish, and the other is pretending to be confused, but their breathing has not changed at all.
However, the thin-skinned Professor McGonagall couldn't hold back anymore.
On the sofa, Professor McGonagall looked at Dumbledore, and then at Wang Xuebin. The whole person felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles, and his fingers were deformed.
"Mr. Guyi...I mean...we..."
Seeing that the atmosphere between Dumbledore and Wang Xuebin became more and more dignified, Professor McGonagall couldn't bear it anymore. She didn't want to see the two conflict, especially some unnecessary conflicts.
In her opinion, if there is no direct conflict of interest, disputes or conflicts are very stupid things.
Although she is not as 'visionary' as Dumbledore, she still has a way of seeing people in her teaching career of more than [-] years. Whether it is the layout of the house or the conversation just now, she can see that the other party is A person who loves life very much.
A man who loves life, among other things, is a man who loves peace and quiet, and she sees no need for conflict with such a man.
Although she didn't quite understand what Dumbledore was thinking, when she saw such a dignified atmosphere, she still unconsciously wanted to turn around.
"...Our visit does have the purpose of apologizing, but..."
"Minerva..."
Seeing that his assistant was so real, Dumbledore was a little helpless.
There is no way, although my assistant is over forty years old, but because he has been working in the ivory tower for a long time, he still does things with a trace of simplicity.
...no, not pure, but pure!
20 years of hard work has made her achieve extraordinary achievements in education, and it is precisely because of this achievement that she has the opportunity to push a half-blooded wizard into the position of vice-principal of Hogwarts. Location.
You know, Professor Minerva McGonagall is one of the few non-pure-blood headmasters since the establishment of Hogwarts. Such achievements are already very remarkable, and he can't ask for more from his assistant.
"...Mr. Gu Yi, it's like this. We came here not just to apologize, but also to take advantage of this opportunity to invite you to have an exchange with our Hogwarts.
As you said, the most direct way to understand the crystallization of wisdom of a civilization is to read books, and the way to promote the development of wisdom of a civilization is communication!
On behalf of Hogwarts, I extend an invitation to you, and hope that you can go to our school to serve as a teacher, so that the wisdom of the East and our Hogwarts wisdom will collide with each other to create new sparks! "
When Dumbledore saw Wang Xuebin for the first time, he had already realized that the other party was the same person as him. The same here refers not only to the city and experience, but also to the bottom line!
A person with a bottom line, although not necessarily a good person, will definitely not be an unscrupulous villain.
Coupled with the other party's views on the Muggle world and the pure-blood issue, Dumbledore has reason to believe that the other party is definitely not the minions of those Death Eaters.
But if you think about it, you can guess that a group of stubborn and old-fashioned Death Eaters can't even accept half-blood wizards. How could they accept a yellow-skinned Chinese wizard?
So he just took his seat, and he put forward his own ideas straight to the point.
During the communication just now, he and Wang Xuebin had reached a tacit understanding, and the silence at this time was just negotiating conditions.
After all, prostitution for free makes people happy. Who would pay for prostitution if it was possible?
Although Dumbledore is not a capitalist, the landlord has no surplus food. Not to mention anything else, just looking at the exquisiteness of the room, he is already a little worried about the salary issue.
Compared with Wang Xuebin's quality of life, the salary level of Hogwarts faculty and staff is definitely not rich!
"be a teacher?"
Wang Xuebin ignored Dumbledore's high-sounding words, just looked down at the thick "Dark Power Self-Defense Guide", put down his legs, raised his eyebrows and asked:
"The Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts?"
As Wang Xuebin said, he picked up the book and casually flipped through two pages.
Vampires, boggarts, werewolves...
A whole book is devoted to introducing various dangerous cases and self-defense methods that wizards have encountered.
The most frequently used magic mentioned in the book is not offensive or defensive magic, but the famous Apparatus!
Also, the self-defense guide is not a head guide. If you can run, why use a head iron?
"I've heard that this position seems to have been cursed, but none of the people who have held this position can live a full year. I don't know if it is true or not?"
Wang Xuebin closed the book, looked up at Dumbledore, who was calm, and Professor McGonagall, who was a little guilty, with curious expressions.
Professor McGonagall on the side was about to say something when he heard Dumbledore say firmly:
"There is no such thing!"
"This..."
Beside Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall looked at Dumbledore in disbelief, his brows were frowned, and his mouth was pursed.
Although she couldn't be sure whether this position was cursed, it was true that the teaching staff changed every year. She didn't understand why Dumbledore said that?
She didn't understand, of course she wouldn't understand.
She and Dumbledore are both representative personnel of Hogwarts, and others can spread some words casually, but they must not make conclusions lightly!
Before there is any definite evidence, their guesses are just guesses after all. It is irresponsible for people with credibility like them to casually talk about the truth without evidence!
Such consequences may even be more serious than the fact that the school's position is really cursed!
Furthermore, does Gu Yi, who is opposite him, really not know the situation of this position?
If you don't understand the situation, how can you ask such a direct question?
"...Because of the close contact with black magic, this position itself may be dangerous and prone to accidents, but if you want to talk about curses, it should be just a rumor..."
Dumbledore's next words made Professor McGonagall seem to understand something, and he sat there in a daze, without the thought of speaking.
She suddenly discovered that she was the only person sitting in this room who was really confused. Whether it was Dumbledore next to him or Gu Yi opposite, they were just pretending to be confused.
It turned out that Dumbledore chatted with Wang Xuebin for a long time, and she didn't even understand what the two were talking about. This discovery made her a little frustrated.
Seeing that Professor McGonagall looked a little depressed, Dumbledore and Wang Xuebin looked at each other, feeling a little helpless.
No way... When people with "visionary" communicate, they habitually become euphemistic. It's not that they don't want others to understand what they say, but that they want to retain a sense of dignity when communicating.
This is not hypocrisy, but the helplessness of adults, a compromise made by a person under the pressure of the social environment, who would not want to be an honest and straightforward person?
Just been beaten...
"...Mr. Gu Yi, what's your opinion?"
"My opinion?"
In the room, Wang Xuebin looked at the two people with different expressions, raised his eyebrows, shook his head, and said slowly:
"Personally, I don't have any opinion... But I'm very sorry, I'm afraid I'm not qualified for this position, you two should hire someone else..."
Chapter 442 Wizard?No!I'm not!
"...The two of you should hire someone else!"
In the living room, Wang Xuebin pushed back the thick magic book while talking, looked up at Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall, and shook his head regretfully.
"What? Does Mr. Gu Yi have anything else to deal with?"
On the double sofa on Wang Xuebin's left, Dumbledore frowned slightly.
He believes that the knowledge treasured in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft and Wizardry is extremely attractive to everyone who values wisdom. He really can't think of any reason for the other party to refuse!
Not interested in a job?Or fear of the curse imposed on this position?
No, he can see that the person in front of him is not uninterested in this position, and this person has no taboo against the so-called curse, if not for these two points...
"... Or is there any magic that Mr. Gu Yi learned that cannot be passed on?"
Dumbledore has never been to China, but he has also learned about that huge eastern country through some books or newspapers.
As far as he knows, the way of magic inheritance in the East is the master-apprentice sect system, and each sect has its own unique magic system.
As a disciple of the sect, the apprentice must never reveal the magic that he has learned in the sect, otherwise he will be chased and killed by his sect until the magic of the leaker is abolished!
By the way, the newspaper that Dumbledore read was called Ming Pao, and the so-called book was a collection of Jin Yong's martial arts novels...
"It's not that it can't be passed on, but I can't use the magic of your system at all!"
As Wang Xuebin said, ignoring Professor McGonagall's surprised expression, he stretched out his hand out of thin air and pulled out a black magic wand, waving it while whispering:
"Wingardim Leviosa!"
Under the gaze of Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall, the tip of Wang Xuebin's wand glowed red, but the magic had not yet taken effect...
'Boom! ! ! '
In just an instant, the wand was blown to pieces!
Wang Xuebin, who had been prepared for a long time, grabbed the cushion beside him to block in front of him, but Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall, who were not prepared, suffered disaster.
The power of the explosion was not great, it was just a little bit of embarrassment. Professor McGonagall's face was black and gray. Dumbledore was better, but not much better. The nerves of some unknown animal hanging from the glasses were removed.
"This... what's the situation?"
Professor McGonagall was very surprised. With her vision of teaching for so many years, she couldn't see where the problem was at all!
The spell is precise, there is no problem with the trajectory of the wand waving, the caster's emotions are stable and controllable, and the output of magic power is also very stable. Normally, this kind of problem shouldn't happen!
The floating spell is a magic spell that is too basic to be based on. It is the simplest spell that every young student can use to exercise their stable output of magic power!
Even a wizard who has never systematically studied magic can basically master this magic within half a day as long as he understands the spell and the casting action.
If even this magic can't be used, there can only be one reason, and that is that the caster is a Muggle or a Squib!
A man who subdued himself and senior officials of the Ministry of Magic with magic can't even use a levitating spell?
To be honest, it is difficult for Professor McGonagall to accept this calmly!
"Mr. Gu Yi, although it is very presumptuous, I still want to ask you, is your wand the one you have always used?"
People are fine, is there something wrong with the wand?
"...Also, did you buy your wand from Mr. Ollivander in Diagon Alley? What kind of material is this wand? Could it be something wrong with the wand? You also used this wand when you were in China A wand that casts spells?"
The excited Professor McGonagall kept asking questions. To be honest, she was very concerned about this issue involving her professional field!
"Minerva! Calm down!"
Looking at the somewhat flustered Professor McGonagall, Dumbledore frowned, and said a word of comfort in a deep voice.
After all, Dumbledore is well-informed. Although Wang Xuebin's phenomenon was shocking, it didn't make him panic!
"Clean up!"
Seeing that Professor McGonagall fell silent, Dumbledore reached out and pulled out a magic wand that looked like a phalanx from the inside of the robe, and with a light wave, cleaned up the mess on Professor McGonagall's face.
"Minerva, it's not about the wand..."
Dumbledore looked at the animal nerve in his hand that was stained with an unknown liquid, and took the fragments of the wand to observe.
"Twigs of whooping willows, nerves of creeper badgers, twelve and a quarter inches, a very irascible wand..."
Dumbledore studied it for a while, then put the fragment in his hand on the coffee table in front of him, looked up at Professor McGonagall, shook his head and said:
"Although I think this wand is not suitable for Mr. Ancient One, I don't think the problem lies with the wand.
I'm sure Mr. Ollivander wouldn't sell anyone a wand that might go wrong! "
Hearing Dumbledore's words, Professor McGonagall's expression became more serious. If it's not a wand, it can only be a human being...
"Mr. Gu Yi..."
Dumbledore raised his head and looked at Wang Xuebin with a serious expression. The blue eyes under Ban Yue's eyes became more and more crystal clear.
"...I want to ask you a question, of course, you don't have to answer it...
Are you... really a wizard..."
What is a wizard?
Is it a magician?
Not exactly!
