Hogwarts: Don't call me the Staff Maker

Chapter 614 Gathering at the Phoenix Society

Chapter 614 Gathering at the Phoenix Society

It's quite normal for Fred and George to have these doubts, since Percy has always wanted to work for the Ministry of Magic.

He succeeded, earning twelve certificates and entering the Ministry of Magic as a prefect, president of the boys' student council, and the top student in the entire school.

Although Fred and George always thought Percy was a fool, they never questioned his achievements.

Therefore, they subconsciously assumed that other people who could work in the Ministry of Magic were prefects similar to Percy.

However, they did not expect that among these "prefects" there were quite a few who did not even know a simple Ironclad Spell.

It's truly amazing!

Of course, Fred and George weren't angry or heartbroken about the uneven abilities of the Ministry of Magic staff; on the contrary, they were quite pleased.

This way, they can earn even more Galleons using the protective hats. The Ministry of Magic previously ordered five hundred. That's a huge order; the dragonskin jackets they're wearing were contributed by the Ministry of Magic.

In addition, they planned to develop anti-curse cloaks and anti-curse gloves, fully entering the field of defense against the dark magic and making a fortune. These things were a cash cow in Britain.

Xilun's expression was somewhat strange.

He suspected that a large part of the reason why British wizards' defense against the dark magic was so poor was due to Hogwarts.

After all, in recent millennia, the professors of Hogwarts' Defense Against the Dark Arts have either been frauds or fugitives; very few have been truly reliable.

Most of the staff at the British Ministry of Magic are graduates of Hogwarts, so it's understandable that their defense against the Dark Arts skills are somewhat lacking.

Before lunch, Celen said goodbye to Fred and George.

He returned to the alley where the wand shop was located, transformed into a cat again, and slipped into his room through the second-floor window.

When Lila returned in the afternoon, she found no trace of him running away, and everything was peaceful.

For a while afterward, Celen also used this method to occasionally transform into a cat and go out to chat with Fred and George when Lila and Garian were out.

On ordinary days, the two of them would use their flying broom models to deliver snacks, candies, or butterbeer to Xilun.

Therefore, Xilun's time was not boring at all. More importantly, he finished all his homework ahead of schedule.

This continued until August, when Professor Sprout came to visit Lila and Garian as a friend.

Siron didn't know what they were talking about, but that evening, after Professor Sprout returned home, his confinement was lifted.

"You can go out, visit your friends, or go anywhere else, but there's only one thing I hope you'll promise me."

Lila looked at Siron with a serious expression and said, word by word, "Stay away from that Phoenix Society. At least until you graduate, I don't want you to join it."

"Whether it's dealing with the mysterious man or saving the world, it's the responsibility of adult wizards. There's no need for a student like you, who hasn't even graduated yet, to be at the forefront."

"Of course, no problem." Xilun nodded in agreement.

Although he knew the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix and who its members were, he was not actually a member of the Order of the Phoenix; at most, he could only be considered an outsider with some connection to it.

After leaving the wand shop, Sirius went straight to the Leaky Cauldron and had a garlicky lunch with the Weasley brothers.

In the afternoon, the three of them went to number twelve Grimaud Place together.

"Harry's coming today too," Fred said. "Mom told us we have to go back for dinner."

When the group arrived at Grimmauld Place, Sirius Black helped open the door.

He seemed to have been informed in advance, showing no surprise at Xilun's arrival, nor did he ask if he had sneaked out this time.

"You've come at the perfect time," he said with a smile. "Molly has prepared a very sumptuous dinner, I'm sure you'll enjoy it—oh, be careful not to bump into the shoe cabinet or knock over the umbrella stand."

Fred and George exchanged a glance.

Previously, in their efforts to develop a swearing notebook, they had deliberately kicked over shoe cabinets quite a few times, and Mrs. Black provided them with a lot of inspiration—it just took a bit of Sirius's effort.

But that's no longer necessary. The "Insult Notebook" appeared on the shelves a week ago and is selling quite well.

The three of them carefully walked around the shoe cabinet and umbrella stand and entered the house.

Sirius looked at him and said, "Harry doesn't have to live with the Dursleys anymore? Didn't Dumbledore say he needed to live with family for his protective spell to be triggered?"

"That's true, but they don't need to live together all the time," Sirius said. "Harry stayed at the Dursleys' house for a month, which was enough for that magic to protect him until the start of Hogwarts."

Xilun raised an eyebrow, surprised that it was a charging spell.

"When are you going to pick him up?"

"If it were me, I would have already set off this morning." Sirius shook his head and continued, "Dumbledore went to pick him up, and it seems he was going to take him somewhere else."

"Dumbledore?"

"What did he take Harry to do?"

Upon hearing Sirius's words, Fred and George immediately asked curiously.

"It seems like she's going to find a new professor," Sirius said uncertainly. "I'm not really sure about the specifics."

Fred and George immediately lost interest.

Hogwarts has no shortage of other professors, except for a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Around this time last year, Sirius Black was attacked, and Bellatrix took his place for half a semester. Later, Sirius was rescued, but he had to leave Hogwarts and recuperate at St. Mungo's for a long time.

In the second half of the school year, Umbridge took over his position, and then a month ago, she was scapegoated by Fudge and her whereabouts remain unknown.

Nobody knows where she is or if she's still alive, but that doesn't stop people from criticizing her in the newspapers.

With the new school term approaching, Hogwarts desperately needs a new professor.

However, Fred and George have already graduated, so this has nothing to do with them.

Just as they were thinking about it, they suddenly heard a very soft crackling sound.

Dumbledore appeared out of nowhere in the living room, with Harry by his side.

Xilun and the others were startled, but the adults remained calm, as if they were already used to it.

Mrs. Weasley ran out of the kitchen, and heavy footsteps echoed down the stairs.

At that moment, Siren suddenly noticed that Dumbledore's exposed fingers were somewhat blackened, as if they had been smoked by flames, but Dumbledore quickly covered them with his sleeve.

At the same time, the silver mane wand in Siron's pocket emitted a faint buzzing sound.
