After learning from Mellen Zwo that Professor Quirrell was dead and that the Dark Lord was about to return, Liu Ruian quickly received a letter from Hogwarts.

The content of the letter was very simple. It used very polite language to inform Liu Ruian to go to Hogwarts for an interview for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

"Interview?" Looking at the beautiful cursive characters on the letter, Liu Ruian couldn't help but have a playful smile at the corner of his mouth.

After saying hello to the house elf and Meron Zwo respectively, and putting on a handsome outfit that combined both Eastern and Western styles, Liu Ruian quickly set off on his way to Hogwarts. .

With his official identity, Liu Ruian didn't take much time to come to this magic school that he had coveted for a long time.

"Ok?"

Looking at the old man with his white hair and long beard, who was obviously waiting for him, Liu Ruian was somewhat surprised.

Dumbledore walked forward slowly, looked back at someone, and said with a smile:

"Welcome, Immortal Ren, I am Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts."

"According to our Eastern parlance, I have long admired your name, Principal Dumbledore." Liu Ruian, who performed the wizard's salute, said with a smile.

"Me too. I've read a lot of Mr. Ren's articles about Defense Against the Dark Arts published in the Daily Prophet and I'm very inspired by them." Albus Dumbledore, with a kind smile on his face, said with a smile.

"I am deeply honored to be praised by Principal Dumbledore." Liu Ruian, who also had a kind smile on his face, said with a smile.

In fact, it's not an honor to say so.But there is still some surprise.

According to Liu Ruian's idea, even if he can't run out for this interview, he will definitely have to meet the other party, but he is such a foreigner.No matter what, it would not be enough for the head of the school to receive him personally.

But then I thought about it, and I realized that this seemingly loving old man actually had a scheming as deep as the ocean.Such a move is obviously not aimless.

Fortunately, he sacrificed his own interests to enter Hogwarts, not for the savior Harry Potter and the Dark Lord, but for all the magic-related resources of this magic school.

As long as you can be an otaku teacher with peace of mind, other things will be blocked by soldiers and water.

After exchanging a few words, Liu Ruian, led by the famous gay principal, visited the entire Hogwarts.

After walking around several historically significant places, we arrived at the principal's office.

As soon as I walked in the door.Liu Ruian saw an acquaintance.

Of course, this acquaintance only meant that Liu Ruian knew the other party, but the other party would never know him.

"Imo, let me introduce you. This is Gilderoy Lockhart, recipient of the Order of Merlin, Third Class." Still looking like a kind old man, Albus Dumbledore stepped forward and introduced with a smile. road:

"He is also an honorary member of the Anti-Dark Arts Alliance. He has won the "Wizard Weekly" Most Charming Smile Award five times. He has written many books and is a rare talent."

"If it weren't for the special recommendation from the Ministry of Magic, I would have been offered the position of Professor of Magical Defense this time. I originally wanted to ask Gilderoy to help."

It seemed like it was just a simple introduction, but Liu Ruian understood a little bit of what he meant.

However, since I have already decided to “sweep the snow in front of my house and not care about the frost on other people’s tiles,” there is no need to get angry over this verbal test.

So he pretended to be stunned for a moment, then walked forward with great enthusiasm and saluted:

"It turns out to be Gilderoy Lockhart. You wrote "Gilderoy Lockhart Teaches You How to Get Rid of Household Pests" and "The Gilderoy Lockhart Series"."

"Also, 'Breaking with the Ghost,' 'Traveling with the Ghouls,' 'Holidays with the Dominatrix,' 'Walking with the Trolls,' and 'Traveling with the Vampires.'"

"As well as "Wandering with the Werewolves", "A Year with the Tibetan Snowman", "Magical Me" and other books, I have read them all."

"It's such an honor to meet him in person today."

I was originally very dissatisfied with someone who might take away my job.Unexpectedly

The other party actually reported all the most proud ones among the works he had written in one breath.

"No, I've just experienced too much." The proud look on his face couldn't be concealed.In other words, Gilderoy Lockhart, who had no intention of hiding it at all, said with a smile.

Liu Ruian, who was too lazy to stay any longer in front of these two people, said straight to the point after being polite:

"Headmaster Dumbledore, if you plan to hire Mr. Lockhart as Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, I have no objection at all."

"I wonder if I can have the honor of becoming Mr. Lockhart's assistant."

"If not, I hope to stay in Hogwarts and help in the library without a salary."

In fact, Albus Dumbledore originally wanted to use verbal provocation to test this Eastern wizard who was specially recommended by his "friend" at the Ministry of Magic, but unexpectedly, things did not go as he expected. develop.

Fortunately, for a sophisticated person, this small change is nothing at all.

"Help from the library?" Albus Dumbledore, who pretended to be hesitant, shook his head after thinking for a moment and said:

"No, this job isn't for you, Immo."

"As for being Gilderoy's assistant, professors from other courses usually provide temporary help when needed."

"There is really no precedent for having an assistant specially assigned to a professor for a course."

If you couldn't see that the other party was playing hard to get, Liu Ruian was no ordinary idiot. He said with a look of regret:

"It's such a pity. In that case, I won't disturb you two."

After speaking, he gave the two wizards the courtesy, then turned around and left the principal's office decisively.

Unlike the "talented" Gilderoy Lockhart who didn't understand the situation at all, Albus Dumbledore watched the person disappear quickly out the door. Although he was inevitably a little stunned by the other person's decisiveness, he tried to stay. After the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back.

"What an interesting man." Albus Dumbledore said with a smile, his eyes flashing with wisdom.

At this time, Gilderoy Lockhart, who finally reacted, said with some excitement:

"Oh! Dumbledore, actually I think his proposal is very good."

"I usually have so many things to do, and I really need an assistant, a full-time assistant."

"Why don't you agree? At worst, the salary will be deducted from me."

"Gilderoy, when it comes to wealth, you and I together are not as rich as Imo." Albus Dumbledore glanced at the other person, the sarcastic look in his eyes flashed away, and he said with a smile. .

"Oh? Then it's even more important to hire him. It may bring unexpected benefits to Hogwarts' finances." Gilderoy Lockhart, who was used to talking nonsense, said subconsciously.

I don't say this out of good intentions, I simply think that having a fan of yours as an assistant, and a very rich assistant at that, has many benefits.

What's more, he could be recommended by the Ministry of Magic to be the professor of this Defense Against Dark Arts course, so he must have some strength.

Gilderoy Lockhart, who knew very well how much talent he had, was naturally unwilling to miss such an opportunity with ready labor and shield.

On the other hand, Albus Dumbledore, after hearing the remarks about Hogwarts' finances, was stunned for a moment, and then the smile on his face became a little brighter.

Liu Ruian, who left the principal's office, did not leave in a hurry, but followed the route he visited when he came and walked around the areas again.

Especially the Room of Requirement hidden on the eighth floor of Hogwarts, but no one even thought of opening it in broad daylight.

After Liu Ruian walked around in a circle and left a little "trace" of his visit, he left this historic magic school calmly.

Just when Liu Ruian had made plans to visit Hogwarts at night, a letter sent by an owl brought an unexpected surprise.

Looking at the content in the letter about hiring him as an assistant professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Liu Ruian couldn't help but smile and said to himself:

"I actually changed my mind, haha... It's getting more and more interesting." (To be continued) R466
