Chapter 301 The Salary Is in Place

【Harry Potter: The Strongest Senior】 【】

"Old man, you have to help me with this." Dumbledore said to Horace in a flattering tone. Slughorn said.

"Isn't this embarrassing? I finally retired and want to live a leisurely life. Teaching is too taxing. You'd better hire someone else, Dumbledore." Horace refused.

"Where can I find a more experienced Potions professor than you in the UK? It will only take one semester. Snape will be back at the beginning of the next school year."

Dumbledore said as he took out a box of frosted pineapples from under his loose robes. Judging from the deformation of the packaging, the pineapple cakes inside were probably doomed as well.

"Um, the taste shouldn't be affected, would you like to try it?" Dumbledore handed it over.

This is Horace's favorite dessert. Dumbledore bought it specially for Horace, but now it seems a little embarrassing.

"I'd better eat it later." Horace put the glazed pineapple aside.

"Why Snape? McGonagall should also be a suitable candidate." Horace asked.

"Minerva can indeed do it, but Severus's careful thinking is more suitable for this task." Dumbledore replied.

“But is it necessary to live in Belgium for six months?”

Dumbledore explained, "This is the intention of the other two principals, to gather the designers of the competition together and cut off contact with the outside world to prevent the content from leaking."

"This competition is expected to be designed for 6 competition projects. Each of the three parties will send two designers. One on-the-job teacher and one staff member of the International Magic Exchange and Cooperation Department will be needed."

Dumbledore originally wanted to send Professor McGonagall, who was a veteran employee of Hogwarts with both qualifications and abilities. However, when he thought of cooperating with the other two parties to design the topic, he felt that Snape was more suitable.

Although Snape doesn't like to talk, he is very thoughtful and meticulous. When designing levels together with his competitors, he can also pay attention to whether the other party designs the competition content in a way that favors him.

Durmstrang has a star player, the current seeker of the Bulgarian national team. If the designers of Durmstrang made a game about Quidditch, what would it be like for Hogwarts and Babston? Very disadvantageous.

"It's just for one semester. I'll leave when the time is up." After struggling for a while, Horace finally agreed to Dumbledore.

"Don't worry, Snape teaches Potions very well. If you want to stay, I won't let you go." Dumbledore teased.

On the last day of the holiday, Sean had no choice but to get up early. In the past two weeks, he had habitually observed the growth of the two-flowered flowers.

"What is this?" Sean saw a small green bud the size of a peanut growing out from under the calyx of the red flower. "It's grown, it's grown, it's finally grown!"

Sean jumped up excitedly. He originally thought that the two-year-old flower had been raised by himself, but now that he saw the little buds, Sean breathed a sigh of relief. All he had to do next was to be patient and wait for the flowers to bloom.

"It will bear fruit in the spring, so we have to wait three or four months!" Sean estimated the time.

In the ancient Egyptian period, the two-flowered flower was actually very easy to maintain, but it took more time. It took 2 years for the branches to grow, one year for the red flowers, and one year for the white flowers. The last point is that they only bear one fruit.

Fourteen days of vacation,

At the end, it brought good news to Sean, but brought a notice that made Snape scratch his head.

Dumbledore walked through a quiet community, which was Snape's address, Spider End Alley.

"Bang bang bang." Dumbledore knocked on the wooden door in front of an ordinary red brick house.

The wooden door seemed to be equipped with an automatic sensor device, and it immediately opened for Dumbledore. As soon as Old Deng entered the door, he saw Snape coming towards him with a gloomy face.

"Severus, how is your packing going?" Dumbledore asked.

Long before the holidays, Dumbledore decided to send Snape to Belgium to participate in the level design of the tournament.

"Professor Slughorn agreed to come over and teach, right?" Snape said.

"For this little face, he still sold me. You don't have to worry about the school. You also know the level of Horace. When you go there, be more careful. The two principals should know Sean’s situation.”

"When designing the levels, the two schools must have tacitly suppressed Sean, especially Durmstrang. If possible, try your best to reduce and prevent content related to Quidditch."

Snape nodded, this is their weakness, no, this is Sean's personal weakness.

Sean, who was far away in the Leaky Cauldron, sneezed inexplicably.

"It's very cold today!" Sean tightened his coat tightly.

He was in a good mood and even served the dishes with more energy.

"Why does this kid look like he's been injected with chicken blood?" Old Tom asked doubtfully.

Dumbledore and Snape had finished explaining what they needed to explain, and suddenly he remembered something.

"Ah, I forgot one important thing. This trip to Belgium is considered a business trip. The school's salary will be paid as usual, and there will also be a travel expense equal to the salary. The Ministry of Magic will pay you."

When Snape heard that he was getting double salary, he didn't show any joy on his face. He was alone and had no girlfriend, so his salary was enough to spend a lot of money.

"Tomorrow morning, at nine o'clock, go to the Ministry of Magic to find Thicknesse," Dumbledore said.

On Friday, January 7, 1994, students ushered in a new year and a new semester. What’s even more exciting is that after returning to school today, tomorrow will be the weekend and they can have two more days off.

King's Cross Station, Platform 9, students are pushing trolleys or carrying suitcases through the pillars of the platform one after another.

Sean's luggage and two flowers were put into the space expansion bag, and he only held Jerry, who was getting fatter by the day. In the past two years, Jerry's size had exceeded that of the average Shiba Inu, and there was a strong trend of developing into a Erha figure.

"Chris!" Sean waved, and Jerry's ears perked up.

"Sean, and little Jerry." Chris trotted up to Sean and stroked Jerry's soft hair lovingly.

It was still old Buddy who sent Chris off. He was retired at home and had nothing to do except chatting with his granddaughter to kill time.

"Mr. Crouch," Sean greeted.

"Sean, I'm very optimistic about you in next school year's competition. If Chris has a chance to be selected for the Hogwarts team, you have to take more care of her." Old Barty said.

At this time, Sean saw Old Barty and sighed in his heart, "Is this a blessing in disguise? In the original plot, Old Barty died during the championship game. Now that he is retired, he no longer has to host the championship game."

Sean doesn't think the hegemonic competition next school year will be peaceful. Will someone pretend to be someone and sneak in? Maybe Dumbledore has already taken precautions, but in such a big competition, there are too many ways to cause trouble.

While the two were talking, a fat, bald old man wearing a custom-made high-end suit came into their sight.

"This is?" Sean had seen this old man before, "It's Horace!"

"Horace Slughorn, why is he here?" Old Barty also recognized the person.
