The years of welding at Hogwarts

"But if it's those who have no ability and want to come here for a year to gild their resume..."

Noah spread his hands, "Then maybe they will complain that the money they get this year is too little."

"Of course, some people will still choose to apply after comprehensively considering the benefits and efforts, so it is also necessary to examine the applicant's ability before hiring."

Dumbledore just felt his scalp tingling.

Noah's combination of probation period and job review leaves no way for any slacker to survive.

If Noah knew what Dumbledore was thinking, he would definitely say that he had not yet fully mastered his skills and that this was just a simple probation period.

Where is this?

When recruiting, Noah was even considerate enough to take into account the average daily working hours of the professors, and generously implemented an eight-hour work system in Hogwarts.

Instead of letting these professors accumulate merit every day.

Compared to those unscrupulous capitalists Noah had met when he was a hard-working worker, he can be considered a good person.

What is a conscientious capitalist?

That's it.

After helping Dumbledore find an idea for the problem of the understaffed Hogwarts teaching staff, Noah stood up leisurely and walked to the perch behind the door.

He reached out and picked up Fawkes, and started playing with the headmaster's bird in front of Dumbledore.

Fox did not resist Noah's skillful bird-stroking technique. Instead, he showed an expression of great enjoyment and rubbed his bird's head against Noah's arms.

Dumbledore was still thinking about Noah's suggestion and did not notice Noah's actions.

Looking at Fawkes in his arms, Noah remembered that this thing seemed to be able to teleport freely in Hogwarts, where Apparition was prohibited.

A somewhat bold plan suddenly came into Noah's mind.

"Professor, can I take Fox home and raise him for a few days?"

The old man raised his head in deep thought, suspecting that there was something wrong with his ears. "What did you say?"

"Fox is so bored sitting in the office every day. He doesn't even have a partner or anything."

Noah smiled shyly, "I want to take it out for some fun. After all, life is not just about the present, but also about poetry and the distance."

"The world is so big, Fox should go out more often and see the world, don't you think, Fox?"

The rest of Noah's words were addressed to Fox, but the turkey just looked up blankly.

Although it could understand these human languages ​​to a certain extent, Noah's nonsense was still a bit beyond its scope.

It understands the meaning of each word, but together...

I don’t understand, I don’t understand at all.

Dumbledore looked at Noah and the Phoenix lying in Noah's arms with a strange expression.

"If you can convince Fox, you can take him anywhere you want."

Hearing Dumbledore's words, Noah immediately picked up Fawkes and placed him back on the branch behind them in front of Fawkes' puzzled look.

Under Dumbledore's shocked eyes, an Atlantic bluefin tuna more than two meters long slipped out of the magic circle opened in Noah's palm out of thin air.

The thick layer of crushed ice covering it, coupled with the special effect of the storage space, effectively preserves the freshness of this bluefin tuna, which can be called the Rolls-Royce of the sea.

Noah originally planned to save this fish as a midnight snack for Lu Wei tonight.

But if you can use it to buy off Lao Deng's Phoenix, it will definitely be worth it.

Facing the tuna lying on the desk, Noah perfectly demonstrated his superb knife skills learned from the director of the meat processing factory.

The highest-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods.

Noah found the "fat" part of the tuna's belly with ease, where the fat was the most abundant, and cut out the pink-white fish meat with a single stroke of the knife.

Then he sliced ​​the fish into slices of sashimi, took out the dipping sauce from his portable storage space, and handed the prepared tuna sashimi to Fox's mouth.

Fox looked at the food Noah handed over with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

As an immortal phoenix, it has lived for so long. What delicious food must it not have eaten?

You want to bribe it with just a few pieces of fish?

The moment the fish went into his stomach, Fox's eyes brightened up instantly.

Really fragrant!

"How's it going? Is it delicious?"

Noah winked at Fox and said, "This is just one of the countless delicious foods in the world.

If you go out with me, I can take you to experience more delicious food."

"Like Beluga caviar, known as the pearl of the Caspian Sea, foie gras from the top-quality French Landes goose, and Kobe beef from Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, which has the pure bloodline of Tajima beef..."

Looking at the boy in front of him, Fox expressed his thoughts with practical actions.

After eating a few more pieces of fish, it flew to Noah's shoulder and stood there, raising one wing and pointing it straight at the glass window of the office.

The look seemed to be saying: Now, immediately, right away, let’s go!

……

After an hour of conversation, the minotaur Noah left the principal's office contentedly holding Fox.

Being a Pixiu, he was not even satisfied with just one phoenix, and he moved away the gilded perch where Fox usually stood, along with the bird's nest underneath.

According to Noah, no nest is better than his own.

He wanted to make Fox live more comfortably at his place, so he needed to pack up the bird's nest where Fox usually lived and take it away.

In fact, what Dumbledore didn't know was that the bird's nest was secondary. The few phoenix tail feathers that fell off from time to time hidden inside were the most important to Noah.

Looking at the empty table behind the door, Dumbledore was a little confused.

This, isn't this right?

Why did he invite Noah to sit in his office in the first place?

It seems like they are discussing the next direction of Hogwarts' education reform?

Why did it become like this?

And he suddenly felt an empty and lost feeling in his heart?

Chapter 88 Fang Tian Hua Ji: I am torn!

On his way back to the Slytherin common room, Noah ran into Shirley and Hermione.

"Hey, Noah, are you out of the hospital?"

Just as Hermione finished speaking, she noticed Fawkes' presence, "Wow! What a beautiful big bird!"

The little beaver's eyes were sparkling. Girls always had little resistance when facing such beautiful animals. She acted first and asked for permission later before stretching out her evil little hand towards Noah's bird.

"Can I touch it?"

Sure enough, even if she was sorted into Ravenclaw, it couldn't change the fact that Hermione was a Gryffindor at heart.

Noah spun around to avoid the little beaver's extended hand.

Don't be fooled by Fawkes's docile appearance in front of him, but this is, after all, a highly dangerous magical beast that can fight a fire dragon on equal terms.

Even though Fawkes would not actively harm Hogwarts students, even if he just gently patted the little beaver's hand away with his wings, she would get bruises on her hand.

"This is Headmaster Dumbledore's phoenix. You'd better not touch it."

"If you accidentally make it angry, there's nothing I can do about it."

The little beaver then withdrew his hand in disappointment.

Shirley on the side did not come forward. One of her hands was unconsciously twisting a strand of hair that fell to her shoulder. She looked shy and no longer as lively as before.

"Um, Noah..."

"What's wrong, Shirley?"

Noah looked at Shirley with a strange look in his eyes.

Facing Noah's gaze, Shirley didn't know what to say for a moment. She lowered her head silently, and her long crimson hair fell softly on her shoulders.

The two white earlobes that were exposed from the cascading long hair turned visibly red.

"No, it's nothing!"

The usually eloquent girl suddenly stuttered at this moment, "I, I just remembered that I have something else to do, Hermione and I will leave first!"

After holding back for a long time without uttering a complete sentence, Shirley fled in panic.

Even Hermione, who was somewhat confused about the truth of the matter, was dragged along by her to run away.

Looking at the backs of Shirley and Hermione who were leaving in a hurry, Noah scratched the back of his head in confusion, and the next second he felt a gaze coming from his arms.

Noah lowered his head and instantly met Fox's bright eyes.

For some reason, Noah felt as if he saw a hint of mockery in Fox's eyes.

"What are you looking at!"

Fox gave a loud cry, then turned his head away proudly, not bothering to look at Noah again.

……

Because it was the weekend, Noah had no classes and had nothing else to do except go back to the common room of his college.

On the way back to the dormitory with Fox in his arms, Noah received a lot of attention from other students. After all, the Scottish longtail turkey in his arms was so conspicuous.

In the entire British wizarding world, except for those Muggle-born students who had just enrolled and knew little about the wizarding world, who didn't know that the magical animal Noah was holding was Dumbledore's bird?

After setting up the perch and bird nest he had taken from Dumbledore's office in his own dormitory, Noah calmly raided the bird's nest in front of Fawkes.

Seeing Noah so rudely digging into his lair, Fox showed displeasure. He raised his wings and transformed into Yun Zhongjun with an electric knife, intending to give Noah a set of "Pudong Rooster".

Before Fox's wings could flap, Noah pulled out another piece of bright red tuna from his pocket.

Mmm, it smells so good.

Fox, who was enjoying his meal, waved his hand proudly.

Waving its wings, it seems to be saying: Take it, take it.

Looking at Fox tearing the fish, a thoughtful look appeared on Noah's face.

The Phoenix's intelligence is not low. It can accurately understand the meaning of even some more complex sentences.

If the chosen one has a special connection with the Phoenix like Dumbledore, he can even achieve some kind of mental connection with the Phoenix and communicate with it.

This is why Dumbledore often doesn't need to give verbal orders, Fawkes will understand what he means and follow his instructions.

Noah was not a wizard chosen by the Phoenix, and could not communicate with Fawkes through thoughts like Dumbledore did.

But maybe he could use another way to achieve his goal of communicating with Fox without any obstacles?

But this matter has to be put a little lower in priority.

The magic circle opened, and Noah took out his Fang Tian Hua Ji that he was going to use to stab his adoptive father.

Back in Diagon Alley, Noah had spent a long time searching but couldn't find a wand that suited him, so he could only make do with this eighty-inch-long iron birch spear.

That bad old man Ollivander said he would make him a new wand.

But up to now, Noah has waited for four full months, and not only has a new wand been made, he hasn't even seen the shadow of it.

Every time I wrote to the old man who made sticks, the reply I got was "sure, next time."

Feeling the wilted feeling the magic wand gave back to him, Noah sighed helplessly.

Although the old man Ollivander's wand-making skills were not very good, he was right about one thing, which was the inherent destructiveness contained in Noah's magic.

This talent will make Noah's offensive spells particularly devastating, and will also allow Noah to cause irreversible damage to the wand when he uses it.

It would be fine if Noah's total magical power was only about the same as other young wizards of the same age.

As long as you choose a stronger core such as fire dragon cord or heart tendon, it can withstand the wear and tear, and you can just replace it with a new wand after a few years.

The wizards in this world are more like blood sorcerers than magicians.

Their magic power will increase as they age, and other methods such as frequently casting magic to consume magic power and then recovering it actually have a very limited effect on improving their magic power.

I don’t know if it’s because I have lived three lifetimes, or if it’s because I was a wizard in my previous life.
