Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 770: Percy’s envy
Chapter 771 Percy's Envy
There were only a few scattered students enjoying breakfast in the large hall, most of them like Fred, George and Lee Jordan, or simply too lazy to get up.
Hermione sat silently next to Albert, absentmindedly smearing blueberry jam on a slice of bread, and casually found a topic: "Do you still practice dealing with Boggart at the next party?"
"Well, Boggart is a relatively important test site."
"Listening to you, I always think Professor Lupin will use Boggart for the final practice exam."
Hermione took a bite of a slice of bread and asked vaguely, "When will we meet again."
"It's... a few days."
Albert was eating an omelette when he saw an acquaintance walk into the hall.
"What these days." Percy just sat down beside Albert with a bowl of pumpkin porridge.
"O.W.Ls Defense Against the Dark Arts Tutorial." Albert smiled and waved at Isobel.
"When did our school have this stuff?" Percy ate the bacon on the plate and asked without looking up, "Could it be your own party?"
"That's right!" Albert shrugged and said, "Many people are worried that the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam will fail."
"Actually, the content of the O.W.Ls exam of Defense Against the Dark Arts is not too difficult, it's all in the book "Dark Power: Self-Defense Guide"." Percy recalled the content of the O.W.Ls exam and couldn't help shaking his head. "The content of the practical exam is defensive spells and spell-resolving. That's all the knowledge in that book. If you fail the exam, you can only blame them for not studying hard."
"If anyone else heard what you said, they would probably want to hit you." Albert joked with a smile.
"Don't you think so too?" Percy asked rhetorically.
Albert laughed without saying a word, he was right about that, but he never talked nonsense.
"However, I heard from a senior that the N.E.W.T exam is more rigorous." Percy added two more grilled sausages to his plate, frowned at Albert who was drinking milk, and continued, "Specially It's Defence Against the Dark Arts, otherwise the Aurors would definitely need to be excellent in Defence Against the Dark Arts, not good."
"Don't you know?" Albert asked oddly after eating the last omelette, "Even foreign schools know that Hogwarts' Defense Against the Dark Arts is notoriously bad."
"You don't seem to like eggs and milk very much." Hermione asked in confusion.
"It's not that I don't like it, it's just that I'm tired of it. I've eaten it for a long time." Albert got himself some pumpkin porridge, and explained as he drank, "Chicken rice and milk can make me look good. Taller, stronger, it can also make you more beautiful and handsome, why don't you try it and stick to it for a semester to see how it works?"
"Forget it." After Percy declined, he couldn't help asking, "Do students at other schools think our Defence Against the Dark Arts is bad?"
"During the second round of the Potions Championship, I was also attacked by students from the African side." Albert said lightly, as if the attacker was not him.
"What did they attack you for?" Hermione asked in disbelief, "Can you attack each other during the game?"
"Of course to eliminate other competitors." Albert said of course, "Hermione, you are too naive, as long as no one knows, there is no evidence, it is not a foul, and the students in Africa are very naive. Good at wandless magic."
"Where's that contestant?" Percy asked suddenly.
"I was stunned," Albert said. "I was later disqualified for the attack."
Percy showed such an expression as he expected, he never thought Albert was a bad guy.
"By the way, I remember you had a good relationship with Truman." Percy asked tentatively, "He seems to be planning to enter the Ministry of Magic as a Muggle liaison after graduation, and is now preparing for this year's Muggle Studies exam. "
"Well, I heard." Albert nodded, "Actually, I think it would be pretty good to be an Auror if possible. I heard that Aurors are paid very well, and they are completely dependent on their ability to eat. ."
"Yeah, if the Hogwarts N.E.W.T. report card can really come in handy at the Ministry of Magic, it's probably the Auror's admission ticket." Percy couldn't help but sighed, he actually I also thought about the possibility of becoming an Auror, but finally gave up and prepared to enter the Ministry of Magic for a future.
"Are Hogwarts grades useless?" Hermione was shocked.
"It can't be said that it is useless, but it is not very useful. The transcript is more similar to the admission ticket, which can prevent you from being blocked by certain occupations." Percy thought for a while and said: "Of course, it can also be Make your resume look good, after all, the transcript proves your ability to some extent, and you can..."
"It can be used to show off."
A sudden voice sounded in the ears of several people, Isobel appeared behind Albert and said with a smile, "However, the most important thing is that you can have more choices in the future, even if you are not satisfied with the current situation. work and still find other jobs.”
"Miss McDoug, take the liberty to ask, what job do you want to do in the future?" Hermione hesitated for a moment, but asked, "Join the Ministry of Magic?"
"I have no plans to enter the Ministry of Magic. After graduation, I will probably write a book, or cooperate with friends to open a pharmacy." Isobel glanced at Albert and said meaningfully: "Actually, the girls are in This aspect will be easier. If there is no urgency to go further in the workplace, the period after graduation will be more about experiencing the fun of work. After all, once married, a large part of women will no longer be able to take care of their families. At work, you can't leave your child alone at home, so finding a suitable partner is more important than work, after all, it's a lifetime thing."
"Actually ~IndoMTL.com~ girls are never worse than boys. There has also been a famous female Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in Muggle history, and the Ministry of Magic has never lacked female ministers. I can only say..."
Just then, an owl flew into the auditorium and threw a purple invitation in front of Albert.
Albert looked at the sender and stuffed the invitation into his pocket.
"It can only be said that it depends on how you choose and whether you are willing to work hard for it," Albert said seriously: "I think Isobel can also achieve good results in her career if she wants to. Of course. , Hermione and Percy are the same, many things have to be fought hard for themselves."
After finishing speaking, Albert and Isobel sat down on the empty seat on the other side of the long table and whispered.
"Sometimes I really envy them." Percy said, looking at Albert and Isobel.
"Their relationship is truly enviable."
"No, I don't mean that, they are very free and don't have to worry about the future." Percy said to Hermione after drinking the pumpkin porridge: "Think about what you plan to do in the future, this will be good for you in the future. It's good to go that way. Of course, if you want to get into the Ministry of Magic, make sure you have a good resume."
