Chapter 7 Interview

After a simple farewell, Jeff walked out of the Leifer couple's house and drove back to the quaint Yorkshire, where he works and lives, and is also the location of Black's New Castle.

For nearly 2000 years, York has been the capital of northern England. Its status is equivalent to today's London. In the history of continuous wars in the UK, it has also been continuously attacked by artillery fire. The city walls, churches, etc. have been destroyed several times. It was rebuilt by later generations.The downtown area was developed on the basis of the ancient city, and the British who cared about the historical sites did not make a fuss about the ancient city, retaining a relatively complete medieval British style.The road is a stone road, which has been trampled smooth by horseshoes for thousands of years; the house is a stone house, covered with moss from history; there are a variety of small shops full of antiques.

York has a history of Muggles and wizards, but in general, this small town is a very attractive attraction for American tourists, which is why Blake chose to buy a castle here.

Under the constant urging of the financial director Duller, Black finally allowed to implement the organization's expansion plan in the UK. Yorkshire is their carefully selected base. It takes about 4 hours to take a train from London to Yorkshire, and it happens to be going to Hogwarts. in the direction of Z.

Although Hogwarts is not visible on Muggle maps and is even a mystery in the wizarding world, it is not difficult for pure-blood wizard families to know the exact direction of Hogwarts. Hogwarts is neither far nor near, which is very conducive to monitoring Hogwarts nearby, and at the same time observing Harry Potter's Muggle life.

In a quaint two-story stone house in the small town, Jeff, who had just entered the door, put down the things in his hands in a hurry, and slowly stomped in front of the full-length mirror that was as tall as a person. He straightened his collar with a smile, looked up and down, and opened his mouth. Satisfied with the mirror, he made a "perfect" mouth shape.At this moment, the telephone rang in the living room. Jeff looked at his watch, walked over to answer the phone, and loosened his tie.

"What's the matter?" Jeff grabbed the phone and sat lazily on the sofa, with his slender legs resting on the coffee table, "Didn't I ask you not to bother me these days?"

"I'm sorry, Boss, this time it's about that side." Bill whispered, "I've been monitoring wizards wandering around in the past few days, because I'm not sure about their intentions, so the house nightmare didn't let them in."

"It came very quickly..." Rubbing his forehead, the muscles on Jeff's face trembled, during which Blake's appearance flashed, and then it returned to Jeff's.Blake thought for a while, "Let Kles answer the phone, remember, make it clear to the house elf before answering the phone, absolutely forbid him to act rashly, there can't be any magic fluctuations in the place I'm staying, last time he made his own decisions Come and cook for me, causing me to postpone my plan for a week."

"Got it!" Bill replied bluntly.

After the thin cable conversation came from the other side, it seemed that the phone fell to the ground when it was picking up the phone, and then there was a thin and timid voice, "Master?"

"Hmm!" Blake snorted coldly, "It's me, Chris, I want you to do something now!"

…………

Twenty minutes later, Black hung up the phone, closed his eyes and meditated on the sofa for a while, making sure that he had missed nothing, then lazily stood up, made a phone call and ordered a takeaway, turned on the TV, and then walked into the bathroom.

In the misty shower pool, Blake closed his eyes and enjoyed the feeling of the warm water sliding down his body, his thoughts had drifted far away...

The young man that Black is now pretending to be, Jeff Lefer, died in a car accident in the United States half a year ago. The only witness at that time was Black. At that time, Black had just finished negotiating a big deal and was in a good mood. Take a walk on the street.I saw a homeless man being knocked down by a Porsche, and the owner of the Porsche fled. The homeless man was still alive.Black hesitated for a while, and finally stepped forward to see if the homeless man could be saved, but the homeless man grabbed his trouser leg and asked for help.Oddly enough, Black healed him with black magic, but this desolate young man was not just traumatized as he appeared on the surface, he had already suffered from a rare disease among Muggles, and even the wizard's magic could only cure him. Alleviated his pain to a certain extent, but ultimately failed to save his life.The delirious young man begged Black to tell his relatives far away in England what happened to him, and died peacefully after seeing Black's perfunctory nod.

At that time, due to Blake's special status, in order to avoid trouble, he did not call the police but secretly disposed of the young man's body, and then forgot about it. Anyway, there are countless migrant workers missing in the United States every day, and Blake has never been philanthropist.

It wasn't until he returned to the UK that Blake wanted to find an identity to sneak into Hogwarts that he thought that if he pretended to be a wizard, he would definitely be investigated for the graduate school of wizards, and Hogwarts is the only school for wizards in the UK. It is difficult to falsify, and the records of other wizarding schools are also difficult to falsify, which is why Voldemort is possessed by Chino in the "Sorcerer's Stone" episode, and Barty Crouch Jr., the Death Eater in the "Goblet of Fire" episode. Take the risk of impersonating Mad-Eye Moody.

Black doesn't have the ability to extract a soul and attach it to a puppet, and he doesn't want to drink Polyjuice Potion all day long, and he doesn't think his Animagus form is safe-at least Dumbledore or Professor McGonagall may see it. come out.

At this time, the young man Jeff who died without a sound came to mind. Because when Black rescued Jeff, he used the black magic healing technique subconsciously mixed with Legilimency, so Black obtained all the memories of this poor man.Therefore, Black decided to sneak into Hogwarts with the identity of Muggle Jeff Leifer. The world is such a coincidence that Jeff's aunt is the professor of Muggle Studies at Hogwarts. Dowler's economic expansion plan had reserved a special program for Mr. Leifer, and it is now proving that everything is going according to Black's expectations.

Combining Hollywood make-up artists with oriental disguise techniques, Blake successfully changed his appearance, and lived carefully for a week in a rented house in Yorkshire. Fortunately, Blake's experience in living as a Muggle is greater than that of a wizard, and he is really on the go. He has passed Cambridge, so he can play a somewhat nerdy researcher in a research institute with ease.What's even more amusing is that Aunt Leifel took the initiative to hand over the job of Muggle studies at Hogwarts to him without his hint or self-promotion.

At the end of the memory, when he heard the doorbell, he turned off the faucet, put on a bath towel, and walked out to open the door while wiping his hair. He did not expect that standing at the door was not the boy who delivered the food, but his Aunt Lefer and a man who looked like Very serious wizard.

"Auntie? Why are you here?" The surprised expression was not feigned. Black thought he would get an interview reply tomorrow, but he didn't expect them to come so soon, and it was an old acquaintance of Black's who came.

"Jeff..." Mrs. Leifel turned her face away, "I brought Professor Snape from Hogwarts, and he wants to give you an interview on behalf of the school."

"Huh?" Jeff still looked at them stupidly, but thought in his heart, "Does Hogwarts really need a Muggle teacher? Why send a Slytherin to interview a Muggle?"

"May I think it's Muggle hospitality to greet guests naked?" Snape looked at Jeff, and said to Mrs. Lyfair sarcastically.

"Ah, I'm sorry, Mr. Wizard, I thought..." Jeff blushed, and hurriedly let the door open, "I thought the food delivery guy was here, I, I'm going to change clothes." He rushed into the bedroom in a panic.

"Hmph, if he's a wizard, he must be a Hufflepuff!" Snape snorted, and casually walked into the room. Mrs. Lyfel couldn't help but shudder when she thought of how stable and outstanding her nephew was when she boasted to the professors earlier. white.

"I'm sorry, Professor Snape, this kid just came back from America not long ago..." Mrs. Leifer was anxious to sell Jeff to Hogwarts.

"Sorry, I'm sorry!" Jeff came out wearing a white shirt and blue jeans. While opening the refrigerator, he looked at them embarrassedly. "Coke or beer? Sorry, no hot tea!"

"Don't bother, Jeff, Professor Snape just asked a few questions and left, are you right?" Mrs. Lyfair turned her head and gave Snape a determined look.Her meaning was obvious: "If you dare to make things difficult for him, I will recommend you to teach Muggles!"

Snape couldn't help being annoyed: when did an old woman dare to call the head of Slytherin.Thinking of the way other professors deliberately shirked before, and Dumbledore euphemistically reminded him that as a half-blood wizard, he was more qualified to interview new colleagues, the flame in Snape's heart became even stronger.

"Well, Aunt Lyfel, I thought you were just talking!" Seeing Snape's reluctance, Black deliberately retreated.

"Who said that, I'm serious!" Mrs. Leifer was anxious, she seemed to see Las Vegas moving away from her, "What I said today is true, Hogwarts needs you, Are you right, Dean Snape?" she said through gritted teeth.

"I think I'm the interviewer." Snape said dryly, turning his head to look at Black, "Speaking of which, Mr. Jeff Leffer, you really want to enter Hogwarts as a Muggle professor Even though you're a Muggle?" Snape raised his voice, his black eyes fixed on Black as sharply as a snake's on a frog.

Legilimency!Blake realized this quickly. Fortunately, he had been prepared. Blake had been replaying Jeff's memory in his head before, and the fake memory came to his mind in due course. The scene of jumping to Hogwarts made Snape think that he had no motive to go to Hogwarts at all, and was all abducted.He deliberately hesitated and said, "Maybe, I'm very interested in wizarding school work!"

Sure enough, the corners of Snape's mouth twitched when he looked back at Mrs. Lyfer. Thinking of how despicably this couple had framed his nephew, he couldn't help but sympathize with the innocent young man in front of him. If there is no successor, it is very likely that Dumbledore will let him who is half-blooded work part-time as a Muggle student, which is even more terrifying. "Who knows if that old lunatic will really do that!" So Snape also made a very unkind decision in his heart.

"Actually, I just came to confirm your wishes. Since you are willing, please come to Hogwarts tomorrow for the handover procedures. Headmaster Dumbledore can't wait to meet you..." Snape's sudden change of style made Black feel a little Surprised, but Mrs. Leifel was very happy, she jumped up hastily, "That's it, Jeff, I will accompany you to hand over tomorrow, one day is enough!" The witch happily pulled Snape away, afraid The victim recovered and repented.

"Looking forward to working with you!" Snape turned suddenly when he walked to the door, and held out his hand.

"Uh...thank you, same, hehe!" Jeff shook hands with Snape blankly with a dazed expression on his face.

There was a hint of sarcasm and sympathy at the corner of Snape's mouth, and he turned and left without hesitation.

After closing the door, Jeff lowered his head and closed his eyes, with a triumphant smile on the corner of his mouth, "As expected, Snape was tempting me at the last moment. Fortunately, I have read novels and know your true personality. Today's The interview is just an excuse. The old bee sent you to confirm whether Mrs. Lefer's resignation was a coincidence or someone had ulterior motives. After all, from the year Harry Potter was in school, all abnormalities will be strictly monitored. But..." Black He opened his eyes and thought gloomyly, "But a wizard is still a wizard. Even if you feel that there is something unusual, once it involves Muggles, you can't help but relax your vigilance. I never thought that a wizard would pretend to be a Muggle. entry point."

Snape returned to Hogwarts, facing Dumbledore, he said sarcastically, "I still insist on canceling that class, Albus, it's a waste of time and money!"

Dumbledore shook his head with a smile, "How was the result of the interview? Severus."

"A Muggle!" said the Head Slytherin dryly, with a look of disgust.

"Oh..." The bearded old wizard lowered his head for a while, showing a noncommittal expression. He picked up a biscuit and put it in his mouth, then raised his head and smiled at Snape, "Would you like a piece of gingerbread?"

Severus snorted coldly, turned around and followed the billowing black robe.

"Ah!" Dumbledore's smile disappeared, showing a melancholy expression, "Muggles..." He muttered to himself, turning his head to look at the dozing Phoenix beside him, "Fox, it's dangerous to underestimate Muggles, you Say it?"

The dozing phoenix sneezed, singing a wisp of the old wizard's beard.
