Professor of Gemology at Hogwarts

"Have you thought about it?" Sant cut two slices of bread and put them in the toaster, "Resign from the Ministry of Magic and become a professor in school?"

"Think about it." Gray said: "The Ministry of Magic is gradually becoming more and more corrupt, and I have long thought about changing my job. This opportunity happened to come up, and I think I can't miss it, but I will have a long time Can’t go home.”

Santer was silent for a few seconds, then nodded: "Now that you have decided, I respect your choice, kid..."

Gray knew that for his father, it would be the same wherever Gray worked - in the wizarding world, but he preferred his son to work in the Ministry of Magic, because it was a government agency after all and would be safer.

Hogwarts did not leave a good impression on Sant. In his eyes, this school was very strange. He had heard Gray talk about the school, such as the administrator who held a lantern at night to punish the solitary, and various ghosts. He thought it would be very difficult for students to graduate safely from here.

After breakfast, Gray took out a delicate wooden box from the wardrobe drawer in Sante's bedroom, which contained a brand new key, which was used to open the basement box.

After Franti passed away, Sant carefully collected Franti's books and magic items and neatly stored them in a box in the corner of the basement room.

It wasn't until Gray enrolled in Hogwarts that Sant told Gray the contents of the box.

Although Santer said that he didn't want to see these things, so as not to think of the sad past, sometimes Gray would hear his father sighing secretly in the hut. Late at night, the lights would occasionally turn on in the hut, and Sante would be there. Sitting there, missing my beloved who passed away.

Gray came to the basement room and opened the box against the wall inside. On the top was a blue Ravenclaw scarf, left by his mother. He carefully put the scarf down. Under the scarf were several books: "Magic Theory", "Spar Classification Encyclopedia", "Spar Magic Source"...

There are several shelves for crystals on the table next to the box. There is also a crucible and several containers for making potions in the corner. These were used by Gray to study crystals in the hut.

Remember in a second>

Resigning did not go smoothly, but after several twists and turns, Gray successfully resigned.Since then, Gray has been reviewing the crystal content he had learned before in the cabin downstairs of his home.

It's May, the weather is getting warmer, and the basement hut is a little hot and humid.

Gray fiddled with the Vesuvius stone in his hand, and several spar books were spread out on the table. It was still a very complicated process to re-inject magic power into an ordinary stone.

However, in terms of teaching, it is feasible to popularize theoretical knowledge with students first, and start with a few common stones that are friendly to the effect, easy to infuse, and relatively common. After all, Gray also has some foundation in crystal science.

Gray took out a roll of parchment from the drawer and wrote the requirements for this course:

Course name: Crystallology

Compulsory course for grades [-] to [-]

Professor: Gray Morris

Required teaching materials: (common to all grades)

"The Secret of Crystals"

After Gray designated the textbook, it was said that the owner of Flourish and Blotts Bookstore was extremely happy. He could finally move out the books that had been unsold for decades from the warehouse and sell them again.

Gray originally wanted to make the crystal class an elective course, but Dumbledore suggested starting the popular science of crystal science from the first grade. He has applied to the Wizarding Examination Authority of the Ministry of Magic to add a crystal science to the Owl exam.

After deliberation, staff from the Ministry of Magic agreed to reinstate this subject, which had not been on the list of required courses for more than 80 years.

In order to make the examination fair for senior students (because they have to face the Owl assessment when they are new to crystal science), it is necessary to set up a gradient of examination difficulty. How to maintain fairness is a matter for the Wizarding Examination Authority.

Gray leaned back in his chair and fell into deep thought. Suddenly a course was added, and it was also made a new required course... What on earth was Dumbledore thinking?

After learning that Gray was about to become a professor at Hogwarts, Bill Weasley, who was chosen to work as a Curse Breaker at Gringotts Bank in Egypt, also sent a letter to express his congratulations.The Weasley family also expressed their willingness to have Gray as their children's teacher.

——Hogsmeade——

"Congratulations—Professor Morris—Professor Morris—" Arnold deliberately said in a child's thin voice, "I don't quite understand the rocks you taught in class. Can you—"

"Shut up! It seems that I need to put a spell on you to block your mouth!" Gray looked at the top of Arnold's head, "By the way, can I help Tonks burn off your hair?"

Arnold bared his teeth and smiled: "It's still possible for you to cast the Shutting Curse, but I'm not afraid of Nymphadora's bald head intimidation."

"Come on, if she hadn't come to see us because of the Auror training, you wouldn't have dared to say such things. If I had the chance, I would tell her—"

"Oh, don't tell that little girl! Let's get back to the subject! I really didn't expect you to go to Hogwarts to be a professor." Arnold took a sip of butterbeer, "I'm really happy for you, you can use your skills. , teaching crystal science to the students. I’ll forget it, it’s just fine to work honestly in the Ministry of Magic.”

"Erasing memories can be considered a skill, Arnie." When talking about modifying and erasing the memory master, Gray couldn't help but think of Lockhart. In almost the second year, he should be the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. Thinking of this gave him a headache. He had to deal with this Working together with idiots?

"By the way, how is your new partner?"

"It's not good. It's Enolyn Hill. You know her. She's notoriously rigid. She's really too rigid. Even in cases where memory erasure is not necessary, she would not let me go. Let me complete all links with due diligence." Arnold sighed helplessly, "My workload has doubled!"

Gray smiled and said, "I hope you can live in harmony."

Ainoline Hill is an employee of the same company as them. She pursues perfection in her work, pays attention to every detail, and is even a bit rigid.

This is in sharp contrast to Arnold, who is lazy and has a quick mind.The two of them were working together, and Gray could only hope that they wouldn't start fighting when they were dealing with an accident at work.

Gray didn't have much impression of the name Enolyn Hill. She was probably a passerby in the original novel. She couldn't have done bad things anyway, right?

"I miss my time at Hogwarts very much...except that the Potions class is a bit troublesome..." Arnold said, "My performance in the Potions class was not bad before, right? After Slughorn retired, the new Sneak Pu simply started my Potions nightmare——"

"Really? When I was in my first year, the Potions Master became Snape."

"Anyway, he is gentler than Snape..." Arnold curled his lips, "Apart from Snape being nicer to those in Slytherin, he is also nicer to others... forget it. It's hard for me to imagine my dean, Professor Sprout. What would it be like to become like that..."

Gray recalled his fear of being dominated by Potions class as a Gryffindor student.Gryffindor could never escape Snape's mouth of deducting points for every disagreement.

"But it will be different when you go back this time!" Arnold lit up his eyes, "You will definitely not have points deducted by Snape, right? Because you are colleagues! My student has the power to add points and deduct points. It’s what I dreamed of during the period! If the Ministry of Magic can also deduct points, I will be the first to deduct points for Hill!”

Gray felt that although Snape was not a bad person, it might not be easy for Professor Snape to be a colleague. Fortunately, Dumbledore and McGonagall could help support him.

Arnold on the side, probably because he drank some wine, started chatting about everything, about the accidents he encountered, and Enolin Hill's rigid thinking every time he dealt with problems, and how they argued.
