The years of welding at Hogwarts

Ranked second

The most famous one was Ravenclaw House, because of the presence of Snape, the doting maniac, and Shirley's excellent performance in class, she alone contributed a full 200 points to Eagle House.

As for the third, it doesn't matter.

What’s important is Grancado, who is ranked last. Today, the little lion is still struggling on the edge of having the college’s hourglass emptied.

Because the twins of the Weasley family in this time and space are more capable of causing trouble than their original selves, this is mainly due to the invisible influence of a future third-generation Dark Lord.

The original iron triangle team was also pulled out of the brain under Noah's influence. Without the bonus point of Miss Know-It-All, Gryffindor's house points could never be raised again.

There are a few scattered gems lying in the hourglass, and every now and then a wave will come to completely empty it.

Unless old Bee Dumbledore is shameless enough to give his favorite student a thousand points at the end of the semester, given Gryffindor's current situation, it is unlikely that they will ever win the house cup again in Dumbledore's lifetime.

Noah has nothing to do with what happens to Gryffindor House.

What concerned him was another matter—

After being away for a full week, Snape finally returned to Hogwarts on Sunday morning.

To be exact, he returned to Hogwarts late last night.

This also means that Noah can finally get rid of the title of acting professor.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Noah saw Snape while having breakfast in the auditorium. After finishing breakfast, he immediately knocked on Snape's office door.

"Those guys at the Ministry are a bunch of idiots."

This was the first thing Snape said after seeing Noah. "Unless St. Mungo's is full of wizards who have been transformed into lizard men, they will never do anything about it."

Noah walked straight to Snape's desk and sat down. "Then just ignore those useless people."

Noah had long anticipated the nature of the Ministry of Magic.

When Voldemort was resurrected in the original time and space, there was Harry Potter, a hero hailed as the savior of the British wizarding world, and the testimony of Dumbledore, the president of the International Confederation of Wizards.

But Cornelius Fudge, the Minister of Magic, stubbornly believed that this was a lie fabricated by Dumbledore and Harry.

The purpose is to obtain his position as minister.

He didn't even think about who had put him in this position in the first place?

Azkaban was breached from the outside, and many officials of the Ministry of Magic were controlled by the Imperius Curse. During this period, the Ministry of Magic did not react at all.

It was not until Dumbledore designed to lure Voldemort into the Ministry of Magic, exposing the Dark Lord hiding in the shadows to the eyes of the people in the wizarding world, that Cornelius Fudge, who could no longer cover up, admitted Voldemort's comeback.

Even an incompetent person like Cornelius Fudge could sit safely in the position of Minister of Magic, although a large part of this was due to Dumbledore's recommendation.

But the fact that he was able to sit comfortably in the position of Minister of Magic also reflected, to a certain extent, the thoughts of other officials of the Ministry of Magic and the people in the magical community.

Therefore, Noah basically had no hope that the magic world would take corresponding action.

Without hope there would be no disappointment.

So he just waved his hand in disdain, "Don't mention those idiots in the Ministry of Magic anymore. How is the progress of the Hydra that I arranged before?"

The last time Noah sneaked out of Hogwarts with the help of Polyjuice Potion, he had already tasked Hydra with building the London Temple.

The main hall on Oxford Street serves as the core of the entire magic circle, connecting 32 array points located in other parts of London, and eventually forming a super-giant magic circle that covers the entire London.

It integrates multiple functions such as monitoring, protection and attack.

At the same time, the Hydra agents within the coverage of the magic circle can also use the authorized ring made by Noah to mobilize the magic power within the range of the magic circle to perform some simple magic. Simply put, this is a crude version of the magic network system.

But it is not perfect yet. With its current construction progress, letting Muggles cast the Luminescent Charm by hand is almost the limit.

If they want to perform more complex magic, they will need to transplant an external source of magic power like Gwen did, so that they can better mobilize the magic power within the range of the magic circle.

"The London Temple has been basically built, but the scale of the magic circle is not enough to achieve the level you want, to monitor everything that happens in the entire city of London."

Noah rested his chin on his right hand, and tapped the table with his free left hand. "I didn't expect it to achieve the effect I expected from the beginning."

"I need to use the Ministry of Magic's Floo Network and Trace Network," Noah looked at Snape, "Who are the directors of the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes and the Department of Magical Transportation?"

Snape gave two names, "Elway Holt, Alan Stevens."

After thinking for a while, Noah realized that he had no impression of these two characters who had never appeared in the original book, so he shook his head helplessly.

head.

"I'll have to trouble Lao Ma to take action on this matter again."

"I need an opportunity to access the Floo Network system and the Trace Thread Monitoring Network so that I can connect the magic circle of the Kamar-Taj London Temple to it, so that the monitoring range of the magic circle can cover the entire British Isles."

"Let's not talk about the magic circle for now. Is there any good news from Gwen?"

Hearing Noah's question, Snape still spoke slowly in his leisurely tone, "She said that based on the current industrial level of the Muggles, it will take the Dark Lord at least half a year to have the ability to mass-produce the serum."

"This is only the most optimistic scenario for the mysterious person. She made the estimate based on Hydra's current production capacity."

Meow meow meow?

When I was preparing to update the article yesterday, I accidentally copied the next chapter, which is the content to be updated tomorrow. . .

It has been modified now. You can refresh it by deleting the cache and re-downloading the chapter.

Well, just forget the original content, hehe

By the way, why does Hedgehog Cat have to write a chapter explaining the situation with at least 100 words before it can be published?

Chapter 185 The upcoming Hogwarts 2.0 update

Half a year? Or is that just the most optimistic scenario?

This time is long enough for Noah to make all preparations for the worst case scenario, which can be said to be the best news for Noah.

However, considering that the longer the time drags on, the more variables there may be, it is also possible that Voldemort will complete his evil plan in less than five months.

Before Noah could speak, Snape continued.

"But Miss Stacy asked me to tell you that if you only want to manufacture in small batches, the mysterious man already has sufficient production conditions."

Hearing this turn of events, Noah rubbed his temples with a headache, "What about the antidote for the lizard serum? How long will it take us to make an antidote for the lizard serum?"

"In fact, she has already produced it."

As he spoke, Snape silently took out a glass container from his pocket.

The blue liquid, which looks very beautiful under the light, is well preserved in the double-helix glass tube, and the metal caps at both ends protect the fragile glass tube very well.

Looking at the container of lizard serum in front of him, Noah couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Blue serum, double helix storage container...

Damn, are you making an antidote for the lizard serum or the T virus?

"Tut, tut! Tut, tut!"

Just as the two were talking, the door of the Potions Office was suddenly knocked. Snape and Noah both stopped talking at this moment and turned to look in the direction of the door.

"Come in."

Dumbledore appeared behind the door that swung open. "Severus."

Dumbledore was not surprised at all that Noah appeared in Snape's Potions Office at this time. "Noah, you are here too, so I don't have to look for you anywhere else."

"What's up, Professor?"

One look at Dumbledore's expression showed that he definitely had something to ask them.

"Regarding the recruitment of new professors, we received more than 400 resumes in just three days."

When mentioning this number, even Dumbledore couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead. He really underestimated the power of the Hogwarts' golden signboard.

He had never expected that there would be so many applicants.

In previous years, when he was recruiting a professor for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, he had to beg everyone for help before he could barely find such an incompetent and mediocre guy from some unknown corner.

"Minerva and I have already screened out half of the job applicants through their resumes, but there are still more than 200 people who need us to interview one by one."

"Now these applicants are waiting in the auditorium. Minerva and I alone are simply too busy to handle it, so I would like to invite you to participate in the interview with them."

When Noah heard that the job applicants who came to apply for the position of professor were being interviewed, his eyes immediately brightened up.

Snape next to him looked confused. New professor?

Doesn’t Hogwarts already have enough staff? Why do we need to recruit new professors?

Why had he never heard Dumbledore and Noah talk about this?

“Where are their resumes?”

"They are all in my office. I have asked the house elves to move them here for me. You can see them in the room behind the hall later."

Noah became motivated when he thought that after Hogwarts had added enough staff to the teaching staff, it would be able to happily torture the students with monthly or even weekly exams.

"What are you waiting for? I'll be there now!"

Without waiting for Dumbledore's response, Noah walked past him who was standing at the door and disappeared around the corner of the castle's underground corridor, leaving Dumbledore and Snape standing there looking at each other.

After Noah left, Snape asked his soul-searching question, "When will Hogwarts recruit again?"

"It's still some distance to the auditorium, why don't we talk on the way?"

……

When Dunbar

When Lido and Snape walked around the job seekers waiting in the hall and came to a compartment at the back of the hall, the first person they saw was Noah, who was sitting behind a desk with a face as dark as ink.

"Is this how you do things? Didn't you say you've already screened the resumes once?"

Looking at the neatly numbered resumes next to the table, Dumbledore was confused. "Is there anything wrong with this?"

"That's a big problem!" Noah picked up a resume on top and said, "I don't think you know how to classify resumes!"

"You should sort the resumes according to the different positions that job seekers are looking for!"

"Potions, Charms, Transfiguration and other courses should have their professors interview them. This is the only way to maximize our limited manpower!"

Faced with Noah's merciless rebuke, even Dumbledore, the top leader of Hogwarts, could only nod in agreement at this moment.

"Professor Snape and I will sort through these resumes. As for Professor Dumbledore, please notify the professors in the school to prepare the venue for the interview."

Under Noah's arrangement, the three people in the room began to work together in an orderly manner.

The more than 200 resumes that were originally piled together were quickly divided into five small piles of varying sizes according to different teaching subjects.

Four major courses: Potions, Charms, Transfiguration, and Herbology.

Courses such as Astronomy and History of Magic are not grouped separately because there are fewer applicants.

As for Dark Magic Offense and Defense, although it is also a major course, there is not even a single applicant for this course, and not even a single resume has been received.

According to the different resume groups, each job seeker outside was given a number tag representing the group he or she belonged to.

When all this work was completed, many formal professors in Hogwarts also prepared their interview venues.

Well, it’s more like an assessment of job applicants’ abilities than an interview.

In other words -

examination.

This is Noah’s suggestion. Although grades cannot fully reflect a person’s abilities, they are the most intuitive reflection of a person’s abilities.

The test questions are directly extracted from previous years' NEWTs test papers. If you can't even pass the test, then there's no point in this person teaching. You should just find a job in a factory and stop misleading students here.

The morning exam only tests the theoretical part, and the practical operation in the afternoon is the real interview for them.

After the results of these two rounds of assessments are out, Noah will work with other Hogwarts teachers to comprehensively consider their test scores and decide who to admit.

According to the current situation at Hogwarts, it would be enough to add one professor for each of the four major subjects to teach grades one to three.

As for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Noah felt that due to the curse lingering over this course, there would not be any new professors in the short term.

Unless Dumbledore wants to find a scapegoat to take the blame for the Magic Offense and Defense class in the next school year, there is a possibility that this course will even be cancelled.

Chapter 186 Remus Lupin

With Noah's help, the interviews with new professors were carried out in an orderly manner.

As night gradually enveloped the earth, the students of Hogwarts were surprised to find that the school's auditorium seemed to have been widened by some kind of space magic?

Although the competency assessment of the applicants for the professorial positions had all been completed at around 3:00 p.m., Dumbledore was not so stingy as not to provide them with dinner.
