Spotted By Grindelwald And Went To Hogwarts Chapter 632: New Teaching Assistant
Hogsmeade, outside the Shrieking Shack.
Two short boys walked over cautiously from the path outside the village.
At this time, the sun was gradually sinking, and the dim yellow light fell through the gaps in the tall trees beside the road, embellishing this famous wizard haunted house with a strange color.
Looking at the uniforms, these two boys are from the third year of Gryffindor. Apparently, they were only allowed into Hogsmeade on weekends, and the brave and reckless lion cubs set their sights on the Screaming Shack.
"Is this the Shrieking Shack..." One of the tall and thin boys stood by the roadside, squinting his eyes at the dilapidated house under the setting sun.
The other boy looked a little more timid. He subconsciously hid behind the nearest bush, with curiosity and fear in his eyes: "I heard that this is the most haunted place in the whole of England."
"We are wizards—" The tall and thin boy looked at his companion dissatisfiedly, "Aren't ghosts just ghosts? Ghosts can't do you any harm—"
"But..." The timid boy showed a troubled look.
Seeing that his companion looked terrified to death, the tall and thin boy snorted softly, and then climbed over the railing outside the screaming hut.
"Hey, come back—the professors said that you can't just turn over the place where the railing is set."
"You are too cowardly, we are Gryffindors, besides, there is nothing to be afraid of being haunted, if there are dozens of dark wizards living here, it is worthy of my careful treatment-why are you standing there, come here."
The tall and thin boy looked at his companion dissatisfied, only to see that the other party hid in place and refused to move.
"Marcelino...Marcelino!" The timid boy opened his mouth wide, and he tremblingly pointed at the back of the boy named Marcelino, with unstoppable fear in his eyes.
Marcelino frowned: "Lal, be normal—this is just a haunted house in a story."
"But, but...behind you, behind you..." Lal's voice became sharp.
"Surprised, your method of scaring people is not clever at all."
"Behind you!" Carl yelled in horror.
Marcelino turned his head away impatiently, he did not believe that this place would be haunted...
The dark window of the Screaming Shack flickered suddenly, and the misty, unknown source of the flames jumped inside, and then, the tall and low figures staggered in the reflection of the fire, as if someone was dancing a pas de deux.
However, where did this dilapidated house come from...
Marcelino was immediately startled into a cold sweat. He swallowed hard, and unconsciously stepped his legs back over the railing.
"Is someone playing a prank..." The young man's mouth was still quite stiff.
"Marcelino, let's go—" Carl was very loyal, and ran away without running away, but his face was already pale.
Marcelino was still about to hold on, and saw that the entire building of the Screaming Shack twisted, like a weird wooden house twisting its body, and a black shadow flickered in front of his eyes, as if some monster was about to be released from it.
He screamed in fright, and wanted to run as fast as he could, but he didn't expect that the Screaming Shack seemed to have a huge suction force, and the air behind him entangled him like a whirlpool, preventing him from moving, and even the temperature dropped rapidly.
Marcelino really regretted it now, he stretched out a hand towards Karl: "Help, save me..."
Carl was scared and anxious, he didn't want to give up his companion, but he didn't know what to do.
At this time, a figure suddenly galloped from the path they came from.
Carl's eyes lit up, and after recognizing the person who came, he was even more energetic: "Professor! Professor!"
It was Sean who rushed over.
He waved his wand with a serious face, and the original twisted screaming shack instantly returned to its original shape.
Marcelino, who was still in shock, collapsed on the ground and almost fainted.
"What's the matter?" Sean squatted down halfway, and pointed at Marcelino's junior with the tip of his stick.
Suddenly, the latter immediately felt a gentle warmth rippling from his body, his originally cold and numb limbs quickly became warmer, and the panic in his heart was also quickly dispelled.
He panted heavily, and looked at Sean with grateful eyes: "Thank you, Professor, I'm much better..."
Sean checked again, then nodded: "No problem, just go back to sleep and you don't need to go to the infirmary."
Hearing that Professor Wallep, who is very prestigious in the school, said so, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Marcelino looked at the screaming shack that had returned to normal in fear, and moved back a few meters: "Professor, what is that..."
Sean's gaze was a bit serious: "I can't tell, there are still too many things we don't understand about magic—but, did you climb over the railing just now?"
"Yes, yes..." Marcelino lowered his head in shame.
"This is a reckless act. This place is on the outskirts of Hogsmeade, and it has been sealed off. This at least proves that there is something wrong with it—" Sean said in a harsher tone, "Marcelino, bravery is a commendable quality, but being mischievous and reckless is not the same as being brave."
"Sorry...professor..."
Sean's expression softened a little: "It's not a big problem. I initially suspected that there is a strange magic field here... Okay, gentlemen, it's time for you to go back. I'll check again."
"Okay, professor." The two hurriedly trotted away from this "scary" area.
When only Sean was left around, a figure slowly appeared behind him.
Stephanie's light blue wand turned into a comb, and she was combing her somewhat messy long hair casually.
"Looks like they won't come to the Screaming Shack anymore."
Shawn spread his hands: "It's very rude to interrupt someone's date."
Stephanie smiled slightly: "Mr. Wallop, this is a public place."
"You don't seem to be convincing when you say this now, right?" Sean smiled narrowly.
The girl's face flushed slightly, the intimate behavior between the two of them in the "public place" just now hadn't completely calmed her down.
Sean walked over and lightly pecked her on the forehead: "Where do you sleep at night? Go to the Room of Requirement? Or should I help you find a staff lounge?"
Stephanie put her head close to Sean's arms. She glanced in the direction of Hogwarts, then shook her head: "I'll stay in Hogsmeade first, and contact my grandfather tonight."
"Also—"
Holding hands again and whispering, Sean sent Stephanie to the door of a hotel in Hogsmeade.
After parting with some reluctance, Sean stretched his waist and headed back to the castle.
A young man who knows how to eat and taste, coupled with abundant physical strength, is enough to describe it as a world turned upside down.
Especially Stephanie, this time was more convenient than last time, coupled with Sean's constant teasing, she finally let go of her bold attack, which made Sean very tired—mainly the girl's body was as limp as cotton candy, and she often lost her strength halfway through, so Sean could only support the house with hard work.
It had to be the sudden arrival of the two third-year students. Xiao En, who had already placed a warning spell, noticed it and temporarily stopped the two of them.
Or Stephanie might have to sleep in the Screaming Shack tonight.
Walking to the arch bridge at the entrance of the village, Sean saw a familiar figure with the last rays of the setting sun.
"Huh? Why is this buddy alone..."
Sean walked up and patted Harry on the shoulder strangely: "Hey, buddy."
Harry didn't know what he was thinking, after being slapped by Sean, he jumped up and turned back, almost giving himself a neck flash.
"Oh—" He grinned and rubbed his neck, and then greeted with a red face, "Hey, Sean, why are you here too?"
"I'm here to buy something and I'm going back—" Sean turned his head and looked around, "Where's Ginny?"
Harry scratched his hair embarrassingly.
Sean's expression became weird: "Don't tell me, you two were dating, and then you left her and ran away?"
"How is this possible!" Harry quickly retorted, "Ginny has to go back early."
"Then why don't you go back to the castle with her?"
"She asked me to help her pick up the materials needed for potions class. The arrival over there was a bit slow. Didn't they just get it?" Harry showed some silly smiles.
It looks like it has become...
Sean smirked and bumped into the other person's shoulder: "It's done?"
Harry nodded in embarrassment, then rubbed his hands together excitedly: "She agreed—Sean, your method really works!"
"That's not true."
Harry leaned closer again: "Dude, do you have any other powerful tricks?"
"Of course——" Sean held Harry's shoulder proudly, "Since we are good buddies, I will forcefully teach you a few tricks."
"Master!"
"Hey, keep a low profile—"
The setting sun dragged the shadows of the two boys shoulder to shoulder for a long time, shaking triumphantly.
-----------------
"Mr. Wallop, yesterday I heard that two students were in danger at the Shrieking Shack?" Professor McGonagall pushed his glasses and asked seriously.
In the staff lounge, several other teaching assistants also looked over.
Sean nodded as usual: "My personal judgment is that it is because it has been abandoned all year round, and there are creatures that resemble non-existence."
"Non-exist?"
"Well, it feels a bit like a dementor, but I've solved it." Sean's reasons are always so legitimate.
Professor McGonagall has no doubts about him, and at the same time, she has always been assured of Sean's ability to handle affairs.
Skipping this topic, Professor McGonagall talked about recent school events: "By the way, Sean, can I ask you something?"
"You said, professor."
"A few new teaching assistants will come to interview the day after tomorrow, please help me go to Hogsmeade to pick them up."
"Okay, Professor."
Professor McGonagall let out a sigh of relief. Frankly speaking, in the position of headmaster, she has to worry about a lot more trivial matters than Professor Dumbledore, so she has been very busy recently.
Fortunately, the people around are very reliable...Professor McGonagall thought with relief.
Looked at Sean admiringly, she suddenly said again: "By the way, how is the teaching of the lower grades recently?"
After thinking about it, Sean said: "It's not bad, everyone is working hard now."
"What about you? Are you overwhelmed?"
Shawn shook his head: "I'm fine, as long as I'm in charge of teaching two grades, and your Transfiguration class also allows me not to go to class."
"What about the student union?"
That's basically because Hermione is busy... Sean didn't have the cheek to "steal" Hermione's credit, he said honestly: "I don't do much, and Hermione is basically busy."
Professor McGonagall nodded, not surprised by Sean's laziness. After thinking for a while, she said, "I was thinking about hiring Miss Granger as a teaching assistant, but now it seems that this will make her completely overwhelmed..."
"Very likely."
There are still quite a lot of vacancies for Hogwarts teaching staff. Although each course has a professor in charge, the number of teaching assistants is not too many. With the number of students increasing significantly, it is indeed a bit overwhelming.
Professor Sprout has complained many times that her greenhouse is now short of people to take care of, and she also needs a more diligent teaching assistant to help her teach.
Professor McGonagall pondered for a while: "Then the number of new teaching assistants may not be enough... But there are not many trustworthy people now... Sean, do you have any recommended candidates?"
Candidates... Sean rested his chin and began to think.
There are quite a few candidates, but he has basically absorbed them into his charity association...
The remaining candidates are either not capable or trustworthy~IndoMTL.com~ or they have already had a good job.
Work? Sean's eyes lit up suddenly.
"Professor, I have a suitable candidate...you are also very familiar with..."
"Which one?"
"However, I haven't confirmed her wishes yet... So, before the group interview of the new teaching assistants, how about I ask and give you an answer?"
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you——"
-----------------
In a hotel in Hogsmeade, the window of the room was firmly closed, and the big soft bed creaked.
The sound fades away.
After a while, Sean stretched out his head, put his arms around Stephanie's smooth and white shoulders, and said with a chuckle, "It's daytime now..."
"It's okay..." Stephanie's flushed face was full of laziness and enjoyment, "I might leave in two days, I can't waste time..."
Sean chuckled, put his big hand in and moved restlessly a few times, and after a few exclamations, he whispered in the girl's ear, "Maybe you don't have to go."
"Huh?" Stephanie raised her slightly confused eyes.
"Isn't Mr. Ollivander in good health again? Do you have a clue about the job you lack that can be easily resigned?"
"Not yet, I don't like the jobs at the Ministry of Magic, and there are very few jobs that suit me."
Shawn turned over and propped his cheek: "How about the assistant teacher at Hogwarts?"
Stephanie was stunned: "Are you going to hire a teaching assistant again?"
"That's right, Professor McGonagall told me that the manpower in the castle is not enough now, and a batch of fresh blood needs to be replenished, and all of them must be trustworthy—so I thought of you."
Unexpectedly, Stephanie showed a hesitant expression.
