From Azkaban To Hogwarts

When the strikers left, the door was automatically closed by magic.

Dumbledore came over with a kind smile.

"I think you all have some guesses about what happened this time. It's probably pretty much what you thought."

He gave an exaggerated shrug to William and the others and said:

"As much as I hate to admit it, we do have a very big gap in professorships. Hogwarts now needs a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, even if all three of you are willing."

"Three people?"

William couldn't help but asked in a low voice. Although he had only seen one movie, if his memory was correct, the professor seemed to refer to one person in particular, right?

"Of course three, actually we hope for more," Dumbledore obviously heard, glanced at William, and said to William:

"Probably because the school's professors prefer to teach with peace of mind, there are very few news broadcasts from on-campus professors outside of Hogwarts - in fact, each subject has a department. When I was not the principal, it was the Transfiguration Department. is a supervisor and is a colleague of Minerva (Note 1).”

"So you don't need to worry about job conflicts. Even if you are all willing to go, Hogwarts still has enough positions."

Professor, hired, come to Azkaban?

William was stunned. He had thought about the purpose of such a large formation, but he did not dare to think about recruiting professors at all.

Although there were all kinds of problems in those universities in the previous life, if someone had the experience of being imprisoned, they really didn’t even think about it. Even if everything else passed, when the public announcement stage came, people outside the school could destroy the school. .

He heard the name of Hogwarts in the cell and it made his ears tingle. If it were revealed that Hogwarts went to the prison to recruit teachers, even the people in the prison would think that Hogwarts was so degenerate. Looks like it.

"So, the related curse is true?"

The tall prisoner next to him was not as surprised as William. It took him almost two minutes to receive the message before he frowned and asked.

"Yes, and we haven't found a way to break it so far. We have only tried to reduce the harm of the curse so that it is not fatal, but we will have to leave school due to various accidents or injuries."

Professor McGonagall replied in a calm voice.

"How heavy was the most serious injury?"

"I was in the hospital for about a year and a half."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly calmed down, and the atmosphere that had previously become heated due to the recruitment of a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor among the three disappeared.

"I refuse, I only have three months left on my sentence and I will not risk being cursed to get such a job."

"Of course," Professor McGonagall handed over a piece of parchment, "but please sign this confidentiality agreement first, Mr. Bodie."

After quickly signing the agreement, the prisoner named Bodie left the room without looking back, leaving William and Jill who were extremely confused.

William could even hear the prisoner named Jill taking a deep breath.

In the end, like the previous prisoner, he chose to sign a confidentiality agreement and left the room with nostalgia.

William was struggling.

The movie he watched was the fourth in the Harry Potter series, and there are only two scenes that he has firmly remembered - one is the scene where the Dark Lord Voldemort, who has never heard his real name in prison, is resurrected, and the other is the scene where he pretends to be Mad-Eye Moody's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor dies.

Assuming that the two professors in front of him did not deceive him, and the curse did not have a fatal function, the curse was most likely strengthened with the resurrection of the Dark Lord.

And if he joins now, he will stay in the hospital for less than a year and a half at most. By the time the Dark Lord is really resurrected, he will have already left Hogwarts.

But is it worth it?

Joining Hogwarts will allow him to have a bright job resume in the future - the Hogwarts professor who had to leave due to an accident is still very popular in the wizarding world.

And the Hogwarts library described by the prisoners is the most precious treasure he desires now. There is no other place in the wizarding world with so many books.

What's more important is that in the next more than half a year, he won't have to repeat the days of being randomly selected as food by the dementors once a day, and he won't have to queue up for the sun in the cell where he can't get enough sunlight.

"Can I ask, is the last Defense Against the Dark Arts professor currently living in the hospital?"

Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore looked at each other, then considered for a long time before responding:

"Sorry, William, I can only regretfully tell you that he died, but not because of the curse, but because he made a decision that destined him to die very early."

"Not a curse?"

"Not a curse."

Guess wrong?

Even if the Dark Lord is not resurrected, the curse still has the effect of killing people? Or is it really not a curse?

After a long while, William raised his head and asked a stupid question.

"I'm in Azkaban now, what happened to the potions I owed?"

"The other party investigated once and gave up after finding out that you entered Azkaban."

Sure enough, although I try not to bother myself with problems that cannot be solved at all now, things will not be solved automatically there - the debt owed by the original person will not be written off once he enters Azkaban. It is estimated that he will be forced to pay back the money as soon as possible, which is why William finally sold the manuscript.

Bet on curse and start on easy difficulty, or give up on being cursed and start on high difficulty?

A confusing choice.

At this time, a notification sound suddenly popped up in William's ear.

[You have been recognized by a magical creature and received a treasure chest x1]

"Sorry, give me a piece of paper and a pen, I need to think about this."

In front of Dumbledore, William did not have the urge to open the treasure box. Taking advantage of the time to ask for paper and pen, he sat on the table and covered himself by writing and drawing. William clicked on the treasure box that suddenly appeared.

The mahogany treasure chest inlaid with gold rims glowed in the air, and three radiant cards inlaid with gold rims appeared with extremely exaggerated special effects.

[Great Alchemist Dumbledore (SSR): Dumbledore had astonishing achievements in alchemy. He discovered the famous twelve uses of dragon's blood.

Skill Midas Turning Stone into Gold: Destroy this card, and in the next cast, a designated piece of iron will be turned into gold based on your magic power and the size of the chosen steel. 】

[Master of Transfiguration Dumbledore (SSR); Everyone knows that Dumbledore was once a professor of Transfiguration, but almost no one can guess how powerful Dumbledore's Transfiguration is.

Skill transformation field: tear this card to activate all objects in the room and transform into the most suitable way for combat to resist attacks or attack enemies for the user. The duration is based on the user's magic power. 】

[Dark Wizard Dumbledore (Taka) (SSR): Few people remember that Dumbledore was once obsessed with dark magic, let alone what miracles this genius created in dark magic.

Skills Black Witchcraft Researcher (Passive): With this card, you will be at your best most of the time when researching black magic. 】

The last weight falls.

Note 1; When Professor Minerva McGonagall was unhappy with her work at the Ministry of Magic, she sent a letter to Hogwarts asking if she could be a teacher. She was the head of the Transfiguration Department at the time (yes, although Dumbledore (who was the school, but called the director) responded, and the two became colleagues.

So we still don’t know the maximum number of professors in a course.
