[hp] Rescue Mr Diggory

After returning from the Christmas holiday, the fifth grade students are arranged to have at least one thorough career consultation with the deans of their respective colleges, so that next year they will know how to choose NEWT subjects according to their needs.

However, not everyone has a clear goal when they reach the fifth grade, and knows what job they want to do after graduation. For example, even after a thorough discussion with Professor Split, Iris still can't decide what she wants to do. In the past few days, she was flipping through the job introduction brochure with colorful covers in her hand, trying to find a satisfactory job from it.

Iris put down the handbook that was about to be flipped through, and sighed, "I really hope that I can suddenly inherit a large inheritance. It would be best if I don't have to worry about it for the rest of my life, so that I don't need to work at all."

Ian said: "Don't think about it, even if there is a pie in the sky, you must be the one who was killed by the pie, not the one who got the pie."

After hearing this, Iris was very angry, and threw the consulting manual, which still had a certain amount of weight, towards Ian. Not too loud.

Cedric reluctantly picked up the book on the ground, and after slapping off the dust on it, he flipped through it casually and asked, "Think about it again, is there anything you particularly want to do, I remember You seem to have said before that you wanted to be a therapist."

"That dream, I gave up after my poor performance in potions class in the first grade was arrested by Professor Snape and put in confinement." Iris showed a painful expression, "If you want to be a healer, it is very important for potions class." The grades required are simply too high, and being able to skip Potions by sixth year has been something I've been looking forward to for years."

"I heard that Snape's NEWT class only accepts students who have achieved excellent results in OWLs. I think I'm not going to be able to." Ian couldn't help but interjected.

"Actually, it's still too late. The exam is in June. It's not impossible for you to study hard during this time, and your grades are not bad." Camelia said kindly, but both of them looked panic-stricken. The expression on his face seemed to be extremely resistant to this class. I don't know if it was because he hated the teacher who taught this class, or he just didn't like making sticky potions.

Cedric continued to suggest to Iris, "What about divination? Aren't you always interested? Maybe you can go to Aunt Fawcett for advice."

"No, my mother would kill me, she never thought it was a serious job, and that would give her even more reason to put me in the Ministry of Magic. I don't like working at the Ministry of Magic either, it's too much. It's boring." Iris muttered, "Divination is just my hobby, and not only Professor Trelawney, but even my dear Aunt Fawcett said that I am not talented in this area, and I will not be able to eat this bowl of rice in the future. of."

"Sorry, I really can't think of it." Cedric spread his hands helplessly and said apologetically.

"It's okay, I'll think about it slowly. Then you two have already decided to become Aurors?" Iris temporarily stepped out of her troubles and cared about others.

"Yeah, you should also think about it. In this way, the three of us can form a group, and maybe we can gain some fame in the circle in the future." Ian said jokingly.

"You're thinking too much. I'm far from being qualified. You need to be an excellent Auror." Iris said.

"That's right, so I didn't expect you to be the one. I was talking nonsense just to make you happy. Tsk, working with you, maybe those dark wizards may not be able to mess with us. Die, but I believe you can do it." Ian said seriously, and received a violent counterattack from Iris.

Facing the two who started to quarrel again, Cedric turned around and asked Camelia next to him with a smile.

"Cami, what about you? What do you want to do in the future?"

"If someone had asked me this a few years ago, I think I would have told him what I was going to do without thinking, but now I still think about it." Said really should think about it.

Cedric saw that she was thinking seriously, so he patted her head and said, "It's okay, just talk about it casually, people's ideas will always change, maybe I don't want to be an Auror anymore by this time next year, that's okay. It's impossible to tell."

Over there, Iris and Ian stopped arguing, and they wanted to hear what Camelia wanted to do when they were quiet.

"If I graduated from Hogwarts, I would like to stay in school as a professor of astronomy, or teach Charms. Professor Flitwick might be happy, and he really wants to find someone to take over his class. "Camilia said, "It doesn't seem to be impossible to continue to follow the old path. I am quite satisfied with the job of exploring the universe, but in that case, I have to go to university again, and I don't have any decent education There, it's hard to convince people that you're not talking nonsense."

Although all three of them came from wizarding families, they have all taken Muggle studies classes, and many friends around them are of Muggle blood. Although they can't know 100% about Muggle things, they still know a little bit.Even so, Iris was a little surprised by this, since pure-blood wizards like Camelia rarely went to Muggle university after graduation.

"So you plan to go to a Muggle university after graduation? So what are you going to study?" she asked.

"Astrophysics." Considering that they may have never heard of it, Camelia simply explained, "This subject is an important branch of astronomy and is closely related to physics."

"It sounds very powerful." Iris said with emotion.

Ian said thoughtfully: "To be honest, astronomy can be learned in our wizarding world. You don't need to go to a Muggle university to learn it, and you are a wizard."

"That's still different. Muggles now know a lot more about the universe than we wizards do. On the contrary, we're so far behind that we don't know it. And I think most wizards simply regard astronomy as a method of divination." Auxiliary, this is wrong, in fact, the meaning of astronomy is far more important than this function. The German Muggle philosopher Hegel once said that "a nation has a group of people who look up at the stars, and they have hope". I I think there should be more hopes like this among us wizards."

"So you want to improve the status of astronomy in wizard education? Wow, then I can only say that my brother found a girlfriend, which is amazing." Ian was praising Camelia, but he patted Cedric shoulders.

Camelia herself was stunned, and she didn't seem to expect to come up to this level. After thinking for a while, she said: "Actually, my original plan was not as big as you said, but after you said it like this, it sounds like Not bad looking."

And Cedric looked at her tenderly, "You know me, and I will support you no matter what you want to do."

"Well, it's good to know what you want to do, and your dreams all sound great, anyway, it's better than having no idea at all." Iris said, "If it's really not possible, I'll follow my mother's arrangement. The Ministry of Magic is fine, it's still a stable job."

Ian poured cold water, "Let's worry about the exam first, you have to meet the threshold to enter the Ministry of Magic, otherwise how will Auntie arrange for you to go in, unless someone between her and uncle suddenly gets promoted and raises salary to become the Minister of Magic, otherwise, this sentence will be irrelevant." forget it."

Iris said unconvinced: "Don't underestimate people, I have always studied harder than you."

"Yeah, don't forget that you always fail me." Ian said triumphantly.

Camelia stopped Iris when she was about to rush to hit Ian again.

"Leave this book here first, and I'll help you as a staff member when I go back. It happens that April is also worried about her future work." She shook the cover of the career handbook at Iris.

"I think there is a high probability that April will enter the Ministry of Magic. We all know that she is strict in her work. I think Professor McGonagall should be like her when she was young. I also heard that the professor worked in the Ministry of Magic before teaching. , and her deceased husband was a former Minister of Magic."

For some reason, Iris, who is particularly confused about her own future, is very analytical when talking about others, and she can quickly give a rough career orientation. Probably this is the so-called obsession of the authorities, and the bystanders can see clearly.

Cedric and Ian disagreed with what Iris said, not even Camelia.

"I don't think so either, maybe she wants to be a magizoologist."

"You think you're talking about Aurora. Our current class looks like she has the same temperament. It's most likely that she will run into the jungle to play with magical animals in the future." After commenting on others, Iris thought of herself again For a moment, I became sad and sad, "What do you say work is for?"

Without thinking, Ian opened his mouth and said, "Support yourself, move out from home and start your own business."

Hearing what he said, Iris suddenly had a new idea, "If I get married as soon as I graduate, I can be a housewife at home with peace of mind, just like Aunt Digory, and I don't have to worry about finding a job at all. Tell me It’s fine if you take care of me, sir.”

"But it's not easy to stay at home and not go out to work. I think it's hard for my mother to take care of me and my father. But if you want, it's not impossible." Cedric said.

"Do you think you can get Wood to marry you as soon as you graduate? Wake up, you're talking nonsense."

"I'll just say it casually, but of course it would be the best if this is the case." Iris smirked and was despised by Ian.

Camelia said: "I think women have to have a job, otherwise they will easily become men's accessories, because the current society is still unfair to women, at least it cannot achieve complete equality between men and women. If you meet someone worthy of trust, it is not impossible to devote yourself to the family, but this means that you have to give up a lot and sacrifice a lot. It is difficult to judge the right or wrong of this approach, although most of them are It’s forced to be helpless, but it doesn’t rule out that some people also like this.”

Ian said maliciously: "If Seid tells you not to work and stay at home in the future, he will support you, will you listen to him?"

"Ian, don't mess around. I respect Cammy. She has her own ideas, so I won't force her to do anything." Cedric said quickly.

"But didn't Uncle Digory ask Aunt Digory to stay at home? As his son, you are very likely to be inclined to do so." Iris also came to make trouble.

"It's because my mother is not in good health, and my father just doesn't want her to work so hard, and it's true that he works alone is enough for our family's expenses."

Seeing Cedric explaining so earnestly, Iris slapped her thigh and smiled and said, "Sed, are you in a hurry? Don't quarrel with us, the most important thing is to listen to what Jamie has to say."

Camelia looked at Cedric and said, "I trust you, you won't force me to stay at home, but——I can't promise you that I won't ignore you because of work in the future, especially what I do It’s a job I like, and my mother is a workaholic, so I can’t guarantee it to you right now.”

"Sed, it seems that you are in your girlfriend's heart. Your charm is not as big as one or two stars in the sky. As your best friend, I love you for a minute." Ian said gloatingly.

At this time, Cedric said back then: "If this is the case, please let me raise you in the future, I will be happy to do so."

Hearing what he said, Iris felt aggrieved again, "Look, all of you guys lie a lot and don't keep your promises, even Seid is like this. What you said just now is so nice, and you will renege on it in just a while."

Ian sang a different tune, "It's not good if you don't pay bad debts. Who can bear the fact that the daughter-in-law wants to work and leave her alone. No matter what, you have to watch people first before you talk about it."

Cedric saw Camelia just laughing beside him, and wondered if he had been cheated again.Work and him, in any case, he is more important, he is confident that he can compare with work, after all, he has surpassed the position of Ravenclaw College in her heart.

Thinking of this, Cedric reached out and pinched Camelia's face. Her skin has always been delicate and smooth, and it feels very comfortable to the touch, but her face is more rounded than last year, which is due to his hard work this year. the fruit of eating.But in Cedric's opinion, Camelia is still too thin, and she may be blown down by a strong wind at any time, so she needs to be coaxed to eat more.

After parting from the three of Cedric, Camelia planned to go back to the lounge to find April.When Harry, who was wearing a Gryffindor Quidditch robe, held a Fire, Crossbow, and Arrow in an empty corridor, he was very surprised when he met Camelia who was alone with a book in her arms.

"Hello, Harry."

In fact, it was Harry who saw Camelia first, but he was hesitating how to greet him, but instead he let her greet him first.

"Hello." Harry felt terribly uncomfortable for some reason, obviously glad to meet Camelia at school, especially since there was no one else here.

Camelia smiled and said, "Are you going to practice in this dress? For next week's game?"

"Yes, why are you alone? What about him? Uh, I mean Cedric. Why aren't you with him?" Harry regretted as soon as he asked, and finally met Cammy who was alone Leah, why did he have to mention Cedric.

Camelia looked confused, she probably didn't expect Harry to ask about Cedric, but she still answered the question with a smile.

"We don't need to stick together all the time, and he is currently busy preparing for the OWLs exam in June, which is very important to him, but it should be said that this exam is very important to us wizards."

Harry muttered under his breath, "The owl exam?"

Camelia was amused by Harry's words, "Harry, it's OWLs, but you're right, we sometimes call this test an owl, but the content of the test has nothing to do with an owl , don’t misunderstand me. When you reach the fifth grade, you have to start preparing, and this test result will affect your job hunting in the future.”

Seeing his embarrassment, Harry blushed and said in shame: "I don't know what I can do in the wizarding world in the future, and even on the Muggle side, I can't think of anything I can do."

Camelia comforted him, "It's okay, it's a little early for you to think about this. Many people don't know what they will do in the future even if they are about to graduate. You don't have to be so anxious."

"What about you? Have you thought about what to do?" Harry blushed even more.

"I might stay in school as a teacher. I can teach astronomy or charms, or I can go to Muggle University for advanced studies and do research by myself in the future. By the way, Seid and his friend want to become Aurors together, I don't know Will this give you some reference value?"

"What's an Auror?" Harry asked curiously.

"It is equivalent to the police in the wizarding world, but it is a bit different from the Muggle police. Aurors specialize in arresting dark wizards and combating black magic. Sometimes they also supervise wizards to abide by the law. There are also some Aurors. Will participate in the work of making regulations. But it is not easy to become an Auror. It requires not only extraordinary courage, but also a considerable brains, but they are indeed amazing and can protect us all. Human safety, so I guess that's why a lot of boys want to be an Auror."

"If that's the case, I think I'll be an Auror someday," said Harry.

"Really?" Camelia asked, looking at Harry, but he didn't dare meet her eyes.

Harry replied quietly, "It's true."

Camelia was a little surprised, "I thought you would want to be a Quidditch star."

"I like playing Quidditch very much, and it happens that I'm good at it, but it seems that it's not so good to treat my hobby as a job..."

"Why not? It's such a blessing to be able to work in a job you like. Many people dream of it. When I was six years old, my grandfather gave me an astronomical telescope. When I looked under the lens When I arrived at a planet far away from us, I thought that I must be a very good astronomer in the future." Camelia said, "Astronomy is my lifelong hobby, and I have regretted and disappointed many things. But I have never regretted my choice of career. So I can tell you from my own experience that of course a hobby can be a job, and you will be very happy."

"But..." said Harry hesitantly.

"Harry, you can't live forever in what other people think of you. Even if you defeat Voldemort, that doesn't mean you have to spend your whole life fighting against the dark arts. Although they all say you are a catastrophe The boy and the savior of the world, but in fact you are just an ordinary boy named Harry Potter, you can control your own destiny. If you think of the expectations that those people place on you, instead of If you choose to be an Auror from the bottom of your heart, then don’t go.”

No one had ever said these words to Harry. For the first time, he realized that people's expectations of him had always been affecting him invisibly, making him sometimes numb and lose his judgment. Obviously, most of the time he didn't want to Do that.

Seeing that Harry was silent, Camelia hurriedly said: "I said this because I think you have always had to bear much more responsibilities than us ordinary people, so I think if you become a professional Quidditch As a player, you will have a happier life because you are doing what you like. Or you can also try some other hobbies. Being an Auror is not impossible, but the premise of everything is that you like it. That's the best thing."

Harry shook his head, "I think you're right. And you've always thought of me so much, thank you very much."

His sudden thanks made Camelia a little embarrassed, "Okay, go to training, don't be late. By the way, are you holding a fire crossbow arrow? This is a very good weapon. broom."

"Ah, this is my Christmas present. Do you want to take it?" Harry's face flushed again, and there was a little nervousness and anticipation in his tone.

"No, you have to take good care of such a valuable thing." Camelia blinked at him, "So is this the secret weapon of your Gryffindor team? As far as I know, the Ravenclaw team Nobody in the world uses such a good broom, no, not in the whole of Hogwarts."

Harry said, "Well, are you going to tell...someone in your house?"

"As a Ravenclaw, I think I should remind our team's seekers to be careful. But the quality of the broom does not determine the final result of a game, and you should not be too happy, our academy The team is great."

When it came to Gryffindor's match against Ravenclaw next week, Harry's eyes hardened, "I believe it's our Gryffindor who won."

"Okay, let's wait and see."

The author has something to say:

The next chapter should be Valentine's Day.
