Chapter 21 021 Gringotts Enrollment

Mary's initial plan was to have a good talk with Sophie. Even if she really wanted to have a further development with Professor Esolen, she should still be careful not to make the whole school aware of it.

But she quickly changed her mind. From Sophie's few words, Mary judged that she was indeed inclined to be a professor. Then, as her good friend, what Mary should do most was to help her.

They don't even know what kind of family Professor Esolen came from—maybe Sophie knows, but she never told Mary. In fact, if Professor Esolen and Sophie are indeed in the same family, they can be considered a good match After all, Sophie has always wanted to find a husband she loves.Therefore, Mary decided that first of all, she should learn as much as possible about the background of the professor, and of course, why he is still unmarried.

There was only one source Mary could draw upon, and she hesitated before writing to Phippus Knight.Sophie was no fool, maybe she already knew all this, so why was she wasting her time?

Still should talk to Sophie.Mary, however, was running out of time.

The Gringotts recruitment notice for this class of Hogwarts graduates was sent to every seventh grader by owl.Surprisingly, this year's demand is for two people, and it is not limited to men and women!

Hogwarts senior students split rapidly, some were still leisurely and complacent, while others became hurried in an instant.All the young wizards and witches trying to get a job were suddenly rivals, and even in the Gryffindor common room, Mary could feel the tension, even Thomas Bourne Will volunteered to come over to Mary and say he had heard she had been preparing for her Gringotts exam for a long time.

"Oh, it's too difficult," Mary smiled nonchalantly, "I read the book for two months, and I feel more and more hopeless."

The smile on Thomas Byrne's face disappeared in an instant.

Mary smiled and continued to ask, "I heard that the recruitment this time is different from the procedures of previous years?"

"Yeah," Thomas Byrne was already dejected, "There were bonus points for players who won the Quidditch Cup before."

According to the recruitment notice, Gringotts' recruiting staff will come to Hogwarts on the third weekend of November. They will give a briefing on Saturday morning, and students who intend to take the exam in the afternoon will have to come to Hogwarts one by one. My son signed up with them, and the whole day of Sunday is the exam, and the results of the exam will be notified to everyone before the new year.

The exam is just the first step. The six people with the best grades will be invited to Gringotts' London headquarters for an internship, and will be inspected by Gringotts' top management. They will decide the final two lucky ones.

"If there is no possibility of being selected in the end, it is better not to be one of the six people," this is Sophie's opinion. She took time out of her "busy schedule" to read the recruitment notice, and said to Mary Said, "If you can't make it to Gringotts, you have to prepare for St. Mungo's recruitment."

"Sophie, give me your job advertisement," Mary frowned, "you don't need it anyway."

"Oh, Mary, do you want to send it to Phipps Knight?" Sophie smiled happily. "He will definitely not let you give up the exam."

Probably only at this time, Mary will occasionally envy her sisters in Longbourne, at least they will never be troubled by the terrible object called "examination" in their lives. As for herself, the bottle The sedative is placed in the most conspicuous place on the cabinet, and Mary is ready to drink it at any time.

Phipps Knight's letter expressed his concern for her and told her to pay attention to her body and not to wear herself down by staying up late and reading.At the same time, he seriously emphasized that for Mary, being unable to find a job does not mean the end of the world, so she must approach the exam with a normal state of mind, and maybe she will get a good grade.

Or to calm Mary down, Phipps Knight described some of the inside information he knew about Gringotts' recruitment. For example, the final selection was not the best among those shortlisted. In fact, the managers of the pavilion only intend to want wizards, so the shortlisted witches will all become victims. Moreover, it is said that the grading of the examination papers is not absolutely fair. If they pass the initial registration, they have already decided not to want someone. You definitely won't give him high marks.

Mary hesitated for a moment. Phipps Knight probably wouldn't make up these things to frighten her. So, from this point of view, her chance of being selected by Gringotts is indeed very small. It's foolish to hope, so even though Mary was still reading, she felt she was beginning to lack motivation.

The daily lessons are still step by step, but Professor Ethelon made a good start. Although he emphasized that the Potions class may be the least related to the work of Gringotts, he still spent the whole class time introducing what he has learned. Know about Gringotts.

The original Gringotts was completely run by goblins, but the population growth of goblins was much lower than the expansion rate of Gringotts, and not every goblin was happy to work in Gringotts, and some of them still liked to bury their heads in Gringotts. Make all kinds of exquisite handicrafts, so, soon, wizards appeared in more and more jobs in Gringotts. Wizards are better than goblins at breaking spells and identifying various treasures , As for the crucial coin minting factory, since the wizards have formulated various potions that are beneficial to the casting of metals, they are now almost under the control of the wizards, and there are also several talented wizards who have become Senior management at Gringotts.

"Let me tell you about these potions," said Professor Ethelon with a pleasant face, "I hope you will have these contents in your exams, but I dare say they won't let you mix potions, so remember the recipes, And it is enough to figure out the effect of the potion."

These potions were fairly simple, but when the students arrived at the Charms class, they heard news that made them extremely depressed.Most of the spells used in Gringotts are not the content of classroom teaching. If they really need to understand this part, they can only go to the library to look it up.

The students flocked to the library again, but this only increased Mary's hopes, for it was mentioned in the materials Diana Holden had given her, and she had already prepared for it.

It is precisely because of the unanimous efforts of the professors of the whole school and the word of mouth of the students that when the staff of Gringotts - two goblins and two wizards began their introduction, Mary found that the content of what they said She knew almost everything.

After lunch is registration.Various rumors indicated that when registering, the four staff members also inspected the applicants on the spot, and the inspection items even included appearance and appearance, and they might even ask a few questions.So, all the students who were going to sign up hurried back to the dormitory after having a hasty lunch, and tidied themselves up.

In this regard, Mary relied entirely on Sophie's help. A few days ago, she assigned Elis and Phenicia to work together to send Mary's clothes, hats and shoes back to Stillwater Manor, and asked Midas to help her sort them out. The boots were completely refurbished, and Sophie conjured a simple and stately brooch with the Diamones spell, and asked Mary to wear it.

When Mary rushed to the classroom where she signed up, she saw all the well-dressed classmates she was familiar with (suddenly wanted to change to "monkey and crown"), especially the young witches, who seemed to have become professional at once. The women, and almost all the witches, wore makeup, and Mary was secretly thankful she had Sophie's help, because she saw how ugly some witch's lip color was.

Everyone received a registration form, which included the names of their parents in addition to basic information such as their name, age, and college. They also had to list all the courses they had studied at Hogwarts.

Everyone lined up to hand in the registration form in front of the four staff members and accept questions.Mary saw that most of the girls chose those two wizards, so she also stood in their team.

When it was her turn, the wizard looked at Mary's watch and asked casually, "Miss Bennet, were you born into a Muggle family?"

Mary answered in the affirmative, and saw the man scribbled something on her watch that she could not make out at all.

"What is your father's occupation?" the man asked again.

"He's a gentleman," Mary replied.

The man memorized it again, and then he waved his hand, "Miss Bennet, you can go back."

Mary expected him to ask a few more questions, but these two questions already made her uneasy.She returned to her dormitory, and found that she couldn't read a book in peace no matter what. It seemed that it was time to use that bottle of tranquilizer.

The effect of the potion was good, and Mary could finally read in peace. Sophie came back before dinner very rarely, "I brought you something to eat directly from the kitchen, don't waste your time eating dinner," she said , "Hurry up and read a book."

By nine o'clock Sophie was back again, urging Mary to bed.

"I'm not sleepy at all," Mary emphasized.

"I know you're not sleepy," said Sophie, "so I brought you a little sleeping potion."

Thanks to Sophie, Mary had a good night's sleep and rushed to the examination room refreshed the next morning.However, when she got the test questions, she was still confused.

This was different from any exam she had ever experienced, it was simply a collection of all kinds of strange questions!Mary tried to calm down her mood, and then she found that although it was far from what she had prepared, she was not completely incapable of doing it.

There are even calculation questions and picture-guessing questions similar to guessing puzzles. Anyway, Mary has written down the answers. As for whether they are correct or not, she really has no hope.

When all the candidates came out of the examination room, they all had gloomy faces.Mary briefly told Sophie about the exam, and she stuffed her with a small bottle of sedative, "Do well this afternoon!"

The practice exam in the afternoon was all about the spells she had learned. Mary casted all the spells successfully, except for two whose effects were not so obvious.

It was only four o'clock after the exam. Sophie was waiting for Mary in the dormitory. At Mary's suggestion, they went to Hogsmeade together.

Now that the exam can be left behind, Mary feels that she still needs to care about Sophie.
