Hogwarts Study Panel

Chapter 460, Section 458: The History of Magical Positions
The days of waiting for Mr. Phoenix's rebirth passed quickly.

In mid-May, Sheen received a letter containing a phoenix tail feather.

Headmaster Dumbledore told him that Fawkes was about to be reborn that day, so he invited him to the headmaster's office for afternoon tea.

Sheen, holding the beautiful and vibrant phoenix tail feathers, walked into the hall.

The Great Hall was as noisy as ever, Justin was waving at him, and the rest of the group were talking about something to Harry.

Sheen got closer and could hear their voices clearly.

"Auror? Not a bad idea."

Hermione was lifting her head out of the book.

"Yeah, being an Auror is pretty cool."

Ron said it half-truthfully.

“That’s right. If you think carefully about what you want to do after leaving Hogwarts, an Auror is definitely a good choice.”

Justin proposed gently,

"Think about it, your defense against the dark magic is second only to Sheen, and you are also very athletic. It seems that becoming an Auror would be a good plan for you."

Harry was surrounded by the crowd, his cheeks slightly flushed.

He usually doesn't like to reveal his thoughts to others, but Ron let it slip, and now it seems like it wasn't so bad to say it.

"Do you think I can become an Auror?"

Harry stammered.

Why not?

Justin asked with a smile.

I'm not so sure—

Hermione spread the large book out, and it crashed onto the table, raising a light dust.

"what?"

Harry asked uneasily.

"You need to have excellent grades."

Hermione said, pulling a small black flyer from under a messy pile of things on the table and opening it.
"They require at least five NEWT certificates, all with a grade of 'good'."

In addition, you must undergo a series of rigorous character and talent tests in the Auror office.

"This profession is very difficult, Harry. They only accept the best talent. In fact, I recall they haven't accepted any new people in the last two years."

"Oh."

Harry lowered his eyes.
“But Sheehan already told me.”

He added.

Hermione stared at him in surprise, then glanced at the various books on his desk, and subtly revealed her canine teeth.

“You’ll be dealing with more challenging things than the average wizard and venturing into deeper realms, but I think as long as you enjoy the job, that’s enough, isn’t it?”

Justin concluded.

He still has a long way to go—

Hermione disagreed with Justin's statement and said to Harry,

"If you continue practicing Quidditch, I think you'll find it very difficult to do this; you're training five times a week—"

Hermione's meaning is quite clear.

"I...I'll figure something out..."

Harry muttered to himself.

"So, Harry, you probably need to know which subjects you should study, right?"

Sheen then sat down, and everyone's eyes naturally turned to him.

"What? Sheen?" Harry asked, bewildered and expectant.

"Auror requires at least five NEWT certificates, all with a grade of 'Good'..."

Defense against the Dark Arts is very important, and I also recommend that you learn Polymorph, because Aurors need to frequently transform and reveal themselves in their work.

Harry, I think you also need to know that Professor McGonagall's NEWT class only accepts students who have achieved a grade of 'Good' or higher in the OWL exams.

Your current average grade is 'pass'.

As she spoke, Sheen took a notebook out of her bag.

"You compiled the section on magical professions?"

Justin watched with great interest, joining Harry in the viewing.

Sheen nodded.

The history of magic class was very easy for him, so he would do some special tidying up during class.

For example, professions in the magical world from ancient times to the present include vampire hunters, strikers, members of the Reversal of Accidents team, memory erasers, Wizengamots, and spellbreakers, among others.

Sheen categorized and organized them, adding his own opinions as well.

In retrospect, his views should be of help to the young wizards in the magical world.

It's important to understand that education in the magical world has always been quite flexible, and the skill levels of wizards, who are primarily educated at home or in magic schools, vary greatly from one another.

Not to mention, the wizards' level of education is abysmal. It's completely incomparable to the systematic education in the non-magical world.

After all, it's difficult to expect wizarding families to systematically teach young wizards, nor can you expect boarding school teachers to monitor students' learning every step of the way.

Children of this age are playful, and what's worse, the knowledge of the magical world is obscure.

If you don't want to learn, or if you can't understand what you're learning, you'll eventually want to learn even less.

This is what the young wizards experienced; it doesn't even mention some unforeseen circumstances.

For example, Professor Snape's "special treatment" of Harry...

Therefore, a good popular science book, especially one on career guidance, is, in the current magical world, something that Sheen and Justin both agree is scarce and needed.

Thus, this book came into being: The History of Magical Jobs: What Do You Want to Do in the Future?

"To become an Auror, I personally recommend studying at least four types of magic courses:"
Defense Against the Dark Arts – Aurors are perhaps the magical professions in history that have dealt with dark magic the most, therefore, it is recommended to prioritize learning Defense Against the Dark Arts.
Transfiguration – Aurors need to frequently transform and reappear in their work;
Charmsology—it's useful at any time;
Potions – Potions and antidotes are fundamental knowledge that Aurors need to master;

In addition, to become an Auror wizard, one must demonstrate a good ability to withstand pressure, such as perseverance and dedication—because Auror training takes three years.

Not to mention the extremely advanced practical skills in defensive magic. This means that wizards have a lot to learn after leaving school.

therefore:

If you've read this far and still feel passionate about becoming an Auror, then you're ready to take on the challenge; and enjoy the applause. An Auror is perhaps the most respected profession in the wizarding world.

Harry read the book, "A History of Magical Positions," with shining eyes, and soon he was holding it tightly.

"Harry, let me see—"

Ron asked anxiously from the side, and Harry reluctantly and carefully placed it on the table.

"Dragon tamer, apothecary, healer..."

Hermione also curiously joined in, and the group began to examine the object with great interest.

"I think we can release it as soon as possible."

Justin had already foreseen the future market potential of this book. With such a clear and concise explanation, not only young wizards but even some adult wizards might need it!

"Ah."

Sheen nodded and handed a few more books to Justin.

He then left the auditorium and headed straight for the principal's office.

Mr. Phoenix is ​​still waiting for him to have afternoon tea.
