Chapter 617 Austrian Fruit Candy
Chapter 617 Austrian Fruit Candy
The subject taught by Professor York is Alchemy, which has the smallest number of electives at Hogwarts. Moreover, he is several dozen years older than Professor Dumbledore this year. When only a few students attend his Alchemy class, He also wanted to be as obedient as possible, and as sensible as possible, for fear of making the old professor angry and causing any accidents.
Knowing that Till was going to stay at the school as a professor, Professor York went to Professor Dumbledore more than once to express his wish to retire. Is there a good person in alchemy who can replace him? Professor York should seize the opportunity.
His health is getting worse, and he doesn't know if he will live for a few more years. If Till can replace him, he can go home and enjoy the last bit of time in his life.
Professor Dumbledore also knows Professor York's hard work over the years, because it is difficult to find a master in alchemy, and few famous alchemy masters are willing to come to Hogwarts to teach, otherwise Professor York would not have to stick to this position. So many years.
He has not retired because he is afraid that the alchemy of Hogwarts will be opened and the few students will have no one to teach him.
Alchemy is not included in the OWL exam and NEWT exam, so students who choose this subject are those who have absolute love and persistence for alchemy. Professor York hopes that they can continue to persist in that love, and not because they have no choice. Professor Ren chose to give up.
Till's alchemy level is not known to the outside world, but Professor Dumbledore and Professor York revealed that Till learned alchemy from Nico Flamel and was an alchemical genius recognized by Nico Flamel. , Mr. York was very relieved to ask her to be his successor.
Although Nicol Flamel had not been born for hundreds of years, Professor York, as an expert in alchemy, certainly knew something about him. He was even fortunate enough to meet Nicolés Flamel and receive some advice from him.
Professor York has nothing to worry about Till, and even looks forward to more alchemy talents like Till appearing in the magic world.
The future of alchemy ultimately depends on young people to learn and develop.
Mr. York was almost triumphantly happy, while several other professors who also wanted to retire sighed with regret, wishing that a few more Thiels could appear so that they could divide the money evenly.
Professor Kettleburn, who teaches Care of Magical Creatures, said thoughtfully: "As far as I know, there are only two classes a week on alchemy?"
Mr. York's smile faded, but he still nodded: "Yes, children in sixth grade and seventh grade will attend."
"So Till has plenty of free time." Professor Bubbaji of Muggle Studies answered with a smile.
Several professors who had the same wish looked at each other and said to Professor Dumbledore almost at the same time: "Ask Till to share some of it."
"One salary, several courses?" Snape sneered, and the knife and fork slashed across the plate, making a sharp and annoying sound.
"If Thiel takes on several courses at the same time, his salary will need to be increased." Professor McGonagall is responsible for the salary distribution of professors every month. "But in this way, Thiel's burden will be too great, and the course progress will also be affected." influential."
"Tiel can help teach when it's inconvenient for us." Professor Kettleburn quickly added, "You also know that I am always injured. When I am injured and recuperating, I can always ask Thiel to teach? My salary You can share it with her."
As an expert in the protection of magical animals, Kettleburn himself has some side jobs related to magical animals. His monthly salary at Hogwarts is not his entire income, so he does not mind allocating part of his salary as compensation for Till's substitute teaching.
The other professors had plans to retire, so they naturally had no problem with receiving less salary, and they expressed their opinions to Professor Dumbledore.
Professor Dumbledore quickly smiled and waved his hand, telling these excited professors to calm down. The students below looked at him with more and more surprised eyes: "I have to ask Till about his wishes in this matter. You don't want to Be anxious, Till is still young.”
Till was only eighteen years old when he graduated, and most of the professors at Hogwarts were in their seventies or eighties - except for the Defense Against the Dark Arts professors - Till had a lot of time to bear with her. Share the worries with colleagues who want to retire.
It was really up to Till to decide whether to teach as a substitute, so the professors let Professor Dumbledore go and looked expectantly at Till who was working hard to cut the beef patties below.
"Today's beef pie is a little hard, is it because of the fillings inside?" Till muttered. Fortunately, it tasted good after cutting it, but the texture was not as good as the ones he had eaten a few days ago.
Although Professor Dumbledore said that he would ask Teal about his wishes, before Teal finished the NEWT exam, Professor Dumbledore did not ask Teal to worry about this matter, but successfully completed the twelve courses with Teal. After the exam, he called her to his office.
The principal's office will become very crowded at the end of each semester, with many files and materials piled up into a hill, but it is not cluttered. Professor Dumbledore's stacking them in different categories gives a sense of neatness and harmony.
"Try this, the fruit candy from Austria, it tastes very good." Professor Dumbledore handed Teal an iron box with a sticker on it, which should be the name of this fruit candy.
Till opened it and tasted a pink candy that was supposed to be strawberry flavored. It was predictably sweet. Professor Dumbledore's approval of the taste made Teal feel very at ease when eating.
Till secretly remembered the names of the candies and thought that he could buy some and keep them with him when he went back. The iron box was quite convenient to carry around: "Professor, do you have anything to do with me?"
"You are about to graduate. I still have a few questions to ask you about your appointment starting in the second half of the year." Professor Dumbledore sat opposite Till and poured a cup of black tea for Till. "Black tea It’s good for relieving fatigue.”
This is Professor Dumbledore's newly discovered way of eating candy. When the whole mouth is filled with sweetness, take a sip of black tea. The sweetness and slight bitterness are mixed together, but it has a unique flavor.
Tier smiled, but did not drink the black tea immediately. He just held it in front of him and shook it slightly.
Professor Dumbledore had given Till many choices, including protecting magical creatures, Muggle studies, alchemy, and even divination. Professor Dumbledore hesitated to push this choice in front of Till.
Till never thought of asking Professor Sybil, who was always hiding in the tower, to lose his job. When choosing between the three remaining courses, she asked Professor Dumbledore for details.
Knowing that Professor York's situation was more urgent among the three professors, and that Thiel was a very suitable successor, Thiel submitted his application for the position of Professor of Alchemy to Professor Dumbledore.
She wrote the application in front of Professor Dumbledore, and Professor Dumbledore immediately approved it. However, the formal letter of appointment would not be sent to Till until the summer vacation, reportedly due to some magical constraints.
