Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth.

Chapter 321 Academy
Duy was very surprised to see Gandalf applying for the position of flight instructor.

As far as he knew, Gandalf was always homeless, wandering throughout the western parts of Middle-earth without ever stopping.

Why are you now interested in becoming a professor, and a flight instructor at that?

After all, if he were to be hired, it would mean that Gandalf would stay at Hogwarts Castle for a long time.

This doesn't match Gandalf's title of "Grey Wanderer".

In response to Dui's question, Gandalf chuckled and said:
"This is all thanks to you. The Ministry of Magic you established now has many Floo Network fireplaces throughout the western continent. I no longer need to travel long distances to contact and organize free forces in various places as before. I can travel to any place in an instant just through the fireplace."

"So now that I'm free, and since I think my flying skills are pretty good, I thought I'd apply for a flight instructor position here. Would you be happy to accept me?"

"Welcome, of course you're welcome!" How could Dui refuse such a good offer? But he still wasn't giving up. "Gandalf, the position of flight professor is a bit of a waste of your talents. How about considering other positions? Like the history of magic? Or any other position you can choose!"

Gandalf shook his head and chuckled, "Other positions are out of the question. Flying class is easy and fun, just right for me."

Seeing Gandalf's insistence, Duy could only give up trying to persuade him with some regret, and then accepted his offer to be the professor of flight at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

As Gandalf said, flying class is very easy, with only one class a week, and it is only a required course for first-year students.

This is just as leisurely as being a physical education teacher in my previous life, or even more leisurely.

Of course, in addition to flight lessons, flight instructors are also responsible for organizing Quidditch matches.

Overall, it was definitely much easier than teaching other courses.

After all, each of the other courses has three or four classes a week, and in the future, I will be responsible for teaching seven grades. My schedule is almost full every day, and I have no time to rest or relax.

Once all eight professors for the first-year courses were recruited, Dui began to have the professors officially start working and preparing course materials for each course.

At the same time, Duy appointed Edward, the professor of Transfiguration and also the head butler of Hogwarts Castle, as the vice-principal of the magic school, to manage the school's opening and various affairs.

Dui himself did not take charge of any course, but instead became the principal.

Hogwarts Castle is very large. Apart from the Tower of Amon Sole and the gardens which are not open to the public, the rest of the buildings are used as school areas.

At the same time, Duy also divided the houses directly into four, named after the phoenix, thunderbird, dragon, and basilisk, corresponding to the four houses of Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin.

It also corresponds to the qualities of courage, wisdom, loyalty, and shrewdness.

At the same time, Dui did not stay in the castle and do nothing during these ten years.

Over the course of ten years, he also went out to check in and sign off, visiting everything from the southern cities where he hadn't checked in to the ruins of the Kingdom of Angmar in the north, and gaining a lot of useful information.

He also created a Sorting Hat made of dragon skin, infusing it with the thoughts and will of himself, Gandalf, Elrond, and Galadriel, giving it a unique personality with its own thoughts and will.

Perhaps it's because when Dui was making it, he was thinking of the Sorting Hat's personality from another magical world.

Therefore, the Sorting Hat created by the Sorting Hat is not only witty and humorous, and insightful, but also somewhat talkative, and has a great love for music and creation.

He often hums songs to amuse himself and frequently pulls Dui and Alvin aside to appreciate his newly composed songs.

After making all the preparations, Edward, as the vice principal, went to the secret room where the Pen of Acceptance and the Book of Admission were kept, and then checked the list of new students who would be enrolling this September.

They then began preparing to send admission notices to the students according to the list.

……

In mid-July,

Hogsmeade, a wizarding community.

The wizards and ordinary people here are not completely isolated, but as the saying goes, tigers do not walk with dogs, and dragons do not live with snakes.

Since the emergence of wizards, ordinary people have both revered and envied them. In their eyes, these people who possess magic are different from them; they are high and mighty wizards. So naturally, a certain distance has been created between wizards and ordinary people. Ordinary people keep their distance from wizards, while wizards are more willing to communicate with each other.

This led to the formation of wizard communities where wizards and ordinary people lived together, yet remained relatively independent and did not disturb each other.

On this day, in an ordinary wizard family.

The Bailey family is celebrating the birthday of their eleven-year-old son, Adam Bailey.

Mr. Bailey was one of the first students in the crash course in magic. Among the original 540 students, he performed averagely and was in the lower-middle range.

After graduating, he joined the Ministry of Magic and became an employee of the Department of Magical Transportation.

The main responsibility is to set up the flyway network and ensure that the fireplace connection is normal.

Over the years, Mr. Bailey has been grateful that he passed the test and was fortunate enough to become a wizard, even though his abilities were mediocre compared to his classmates.

But since becoming a wizard, his life has undergone a dramatic transformation, like a fish leaping over the dragon gate.

Magic became the most important part of his life. With just a wave of his wand, the broom in the house would sweep automatically, and the plates would clatter and jump into the sink to be washed before flying into the cupboard.

The fireplace in the house is also connected to the Floo Network. Wherever you want to go, just walk into the fireplace, throw a handful of Floo Powder at your feet, and you'll be there in an instant.

Mr. Bailey also married the woman he loved and had two sons and a daughter, living a happy and fulfilling life.

Today is his eldest son Adam Bailey's eleventh birthday, and he specially left work early to buy a magic cake from Diagon Alley.

The whole family gathered together. The magic candles on the magic cake were burning with colorful sparks, and a group of little chocolate figures were jumping and hopping on the cake, cheerfully singing "Happy Birthday."

As an employee of the Ministry of Magic, Mr. Bailey was better informed than others and knew that the lord was planning to open a magic school and recruit students.

So while celebrating his eldest son's birthday, he was somewhat distracted, his eyes involuntarily drifting out the window.

As one of the graduates of the accelerated magic course, Mr. Bailey had witnessed the vast collection of books and countless magical wonders in Hogwarts Castle.

He had regretted countless times why he hadn't worked harder during the crash course and learned more magic.

Although he knew that with his abilities, he had done his best back then, he still felt that he hadn't tried hard enough.

After all, once he left the castle, he would never have the chance to go back to the castle again, nor would he ever come into contact with so much magical magic again.

Now, rumors have spread that the lord is going to open a magic school and recruit students.

Mr. Bailey thought of his son and silently prayed that his son would be selected for the recruitment.

However, he was unsure about the outcome and couldn't guarantee that his son would be selected, so he hadn't told his family, especially his eldest son, about it.

She was afraid that her son Adam would be disappointed.

"Dad, what's wrong?" Adam Bailey, the protagonist of today's story, noticed his father's frequent glances out the window and asked with some confusion.

Mr. Bailey snapped out of his daze upon hearing his eldest son's words, and was about to say something when...

A crisp knocking sound rang out from the window.

The whole family was drawn to the sound.

When they saw that it was a pure white great snowy owl, the others looked surprised and puzzled.

Only Mr. Bailey's face was full of surprise and excitement.

He immediately got up from the chair, walked quickly to the window, and eagerly opened it.
