Harry Potter: Who cares about belated motherly love?

Chapter 71 A New World of Magic and Technology

However, we must not forget that a large amount of interrupted business work still piles up...

Due to the backlog of work, we have to work through it bit by bit.

For example, the compensation for damages and preparations for the reopening of Hogsmeade, the inventory of Dumbledore's hidden objects and famous collections, Hagrid's investigation of monster synthesis traces, and the almost uncontrollable management of Hogwarts.

Even though the giant spider incident has been dealt with, our workload has not decreased in the slightest.

We continued to work while crying, and the teachers who were busy running around the school to renovate and explain the delay of the new semester to new and existing students continued to provide us with their favorite potions, making us work like mules.

Management was so lax that it was impossible to identify whether any irregularities had occurred, which led to a further increase in workload.

What is this, an endless loop?

When we couldn't help crying, Professor McGonagall looked embarrassed and went to Snape's house to ask him to prepare a more effective potion and bring it back to us.

"How is Harry? He's much smaller than an average person, but he's having a great time with Professor Prince (Snape), right? That's great... our previous hard work has finally paid off."

When we asked if Harry looked like Lily Evans, the response was that he was very similar to James Potter.

We can't help but complain: "Under such circumstances, can Snape still take good care of him?"

Professor McGonagall told us with tears in her eyes that Harry had the same shining green eyes as Evans, and his dependence on Snape made him look very happy.

Professor McGonagall said: "I have never seen Snape so happy."

"Yes, Snape was also an abused child."

We continued to explore: "Harry was also severely bullied by his cousins ​​and bad kids in the neighborhood? If he knew what James and Sirius had done to Snape... he already knew? Oh, it turns out that the aunt who raised Harry was Snape's childhood sweetheart, no wonder Harry knew all this... no wonder the two of them have such a good relationship, but will Sirius be left out? After all, he is the leader of the new force, it will be troublesome if he collapses."

"Harry comforted Sirius well? He didn't come to see Harry, but to seek comfort?"

We can't help but complain: "Why do adults have to rely on children..."

But Harry said: "Sirius was taught a hard lesson, and it was my job to comfort him."

"Sure enough, he is still a dog at heart... However, a child cannot be raised by a dog, so it is best to leave it to Professor Prince to take care of. Harry has just escaped from a cruel environment, and he needs an adult who can give him enough love."

"By the way, what is this potion..."

"What is this? This is a potion that allows you to work without sleep for a week."

The teachers told us with a smile.

"What...? You always use this potion? And Professor Prince assured us that the more we drink, the healthier we will be. So you suggest that we 'drink it and keep working hard' without any ill intentions?"

We were stunned when we heard this, but the teachers smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's not addictive."

"horse……?"

So we started to investigate the working conditions of teachers.

It turns out that teachers are working an astonishing number of hours.

In order to cope with unfinished tasks, they frequently used time-reversal devices and potions.

"Really... isn't this too exaggerated?"

All the staff who came to support were stunned.

We find ourselves in a tougher-than-usual work environment, with horribly low pay.

Our workload continues to increase.

Although we dug this hole ourselves, there is really nothing we can do this time...

"Dumbledore, what on earth do you do on weekdays..."

Shocked by the realization that we had viewed Dumbledore as the embodiment of justice, we exposed the weekly magazine to progress reports on Hogwarts and the working conditions of the teachers.

There's no mention of a time-reversing machine, but even so, those working hours are still astounding.

We also ordered extra potions for the teachers and Professor Prince, hoping that this would improve their financial situation a little.

We also wrote to Professor Prince, asking him to cooperate with the investigation into his work situation, even if he did not come to Hogwarts.

However, he did not reply.

Other teachers said: "He is the busiest one, our situation is not that serious."

It is true that Professor Sprout, Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick have extremely heavy workloads, and Professor Kettleburn is close behind them, but the Potions course requires a lot of practice and the preparation is quite tedious. In addition, Professor Prince strictly reviews every homework and remembers every student's name, so he is undoubtedly the busiest.

However, no matter how many letters we sent, he did not reply, as if he was unwilling to face the criticism.

"Well, since you think so, we also have our own way."

So we wrote to Harry.

The letter reads: "That person may not want to be accused of overwork and therefore does not cooperate with the investigation, but if he continues like this, he may be exhausted to death. In order to make the teachers of Hogwarts work happily, we hope to investigate their work conditions. Harry, please help fill out the questionnaire attached to this letter and send it back to us? That person ignored the letter we sent, so if you give it directly to him, it may be thrown away. Therefore, please help Harry investigate him, okay?"

Not long after, we received a reply from that person, who wrote: "I'm sorry for ignoring your letter before. I am willing to cooperate with the investigation. Please don't send letters to Harry again."

The results of the investigation showed that his work situation was worse than anyone else.

We asked the teachers: "Don't you feel that it is not right to receive such a high salary while working such an intense time?"

They answered, "We usually live for free in Hogwarts. We have to recruit students during the holidays, so we don't have very long holidays. Therefore, we hardly spend money and our income is enough. In addition, we usually help each other and are self-sufficient. We hardly need to spend money, so our savings will only increase."

They asked curiously, “Is this considered a low salary?”

"Yes...that's true...but you're so busy that you don't even have time to spend money. That's the problem. You should realize that without using the time-reversing device, the workload can't be completed at all."

We continued our investigation while trying to persuade him. The time-reversing device is something that needs to be carefully managed. How can we use it casually for work?

What's going on? The teachers said that their predecessors had sternly warned them that the reversal clock should only be used for tasks that could not be completed and should never be abused.

So there is no problem?

They looked as if they didn't understand the seriousness of the situation, but they insisted that without the clock, the work could not be completed.

They tried their best to defend themselves, saying that the bell was handed down from generation to generation and had been used by previous teachers.

Well, it is true...

It’s too bad that the teachers are so busy that they are abnormally busy.

Oh, maybe that's why they don't care about Dumbledore's behavior?

Only people with a spirit of sacrifice and dedication would be willing to become a professor at Hogwarts? No wonder Professor Slughorn ran away.

Although Professor Kettleburn seemed to be the one who enjoyed it, his eyes lit up when he saw the spider's corpse and he was delighted by the appearance of the basilisk. It seemed that he was the only one who enjoyed this chaos.

I've also felt a similar vibe from some anatomy experts, but those people aren't teachers and they're not looking to increase their work hours...but they are certainly a little crazy.

Professor Kettleburn had previously lamented that if he had discovered the giant spiders earlier, he would have been able to observe them, which clearly meant that he did not intend to report them to the Ministry.

He even tried to get close to the Basilisk, but was severely scolded by the Basilisk troops.

That's terrible. Although this person follows a different path from Dumbledore, he is also very dangerous. I should report to my superiors and request that someone be sent to monitor him.

For this person, I suggest that it is better to keep him too busy to do other things, so there is no need to improve his treatment.

As for the legendary Voldemort, what type is he?

Anyway, I think he could probably manage it better than it is now.

So that's why Dumbledore stopped him from going to Hogwarts? If the image portrayed in that newspaper was true, he might have done his best to manage the ideal Hogwarts.

Of course, this is just my guess.

In fact, it is a good thing to have different factions within the organization, as they can supervise each other.

As long as it does not develop into killing between factions, moderate factional competition is not a bad thing for the organization, as long as they do not hold each other back.

I guess the Ministry of Magic will also develop in this direction in the future? Pure-blood nobles may try their best to maintain the purity of their bloodline, and the employment of Muggle-borns may increase. I hope they can have healthy competition.

Every time I went to the Ministry of Magic to submit documents, someone would bring me various newspapers and weeklies.

Surprisingly, it’s harder to see the big picture when you’re on the inside, but looking at it from the outside is more objective, which is quite helpful to me.

Judging from these newspapers, the Blacks (the alliance of pure-blood nobles centered around Weasley and Malfoy) are actively employing Muggle-borns, and seem to be planning to raise the technological level of the wizarding world to Muggle standards, and have the pure-blood nobles cooperate with them to create a new wizarding world that combines magic and technology.

If you hold each other back, you will be eliminated. Incompetent people will not be needed.

Black is very capable, he must hate incompetent people. And people like Scrimgeour, Bones, and Shacklebolt will undoubtedly become the backbone of the Ministry of Magic in the future, they are a group of people who admire strength.
