Lu Ping told about his hard work experience. The extra make-up classes in the improvement class twice a week really increased his workload, and the improvement class was a large class for 28 people. "I understand, a raise, right?" Dumbledore said. "This is not a question of money. You also know that I was basically homeless before and had no pursuit of money. Now I have a job and it is very good. But as you know, my state is very dangerous." "Improvement Classes are held in the evening, twice a week, every month on the full moon, which unfortunately coincides with the time for make-up classes. Last semester, I already asked the advanced class to study on their own three times." Lu Ping said distressedly . Although the wolfsbane potion helped him maintain human sanity during the full moon, he could not suppress his transformation. Lu Ping said with tears in his eyes, "Professor, I really can't handle this workload. Plus, the full moon means that classes will be delayed." Lu Ping's character is not the kind of irresponsible person. He leads his students to do his duty. , but the more this happens, the more tired I become. Dumbledore also knew Lupin. Now that he had spoken, he could not be a black-hearted leader who oppressed and exploited his employees. "The advanced class has indeed added a lot of workload to you, but the advanced class still needs to be held." Dumbledore thought about it in his mind. He wanted to retain a good teacher like Lu Ping. For more than one semester last year, the students had so much respect for Lu Ping. The evaluations are all good, at least they are not criticized by students like Jovic, Chilo, and Harlot. "Let's do it this way. I'll ask the board of directors tomorrow to see if we can recruit a professor for the advanced class, and you'll be responsible for the daily classes." "Is there a board meeting tomorrow?" Lu Ping asked. "Let's talk about the Triwizard Tournament. Fudge will also be there," Dumbledore said. "Board of Directors? Do you want me to get a seat on the board of directors, so that I can do things easily in the school in the future?" Sirius heard the conversation between the two and came over unexpectedly. Board members must be non-Hogwarts staff. Although Sirius chairs the Duel Club at Hogwarts, he does not receive a salary and is considered a non-staff member. "The board of directors is now full of 12 people. It is not easy to get in, unless someone is kicked out." Dumbledore said. "I think Malfoy is quite annoying. Why didn't you get him out of the board of directors?" Sirius said. ---------------------------------- "My Malfoy family has some money, but it doesn't come from strong winds. "At the board meeting the next day, Lucius mocked after hearing Pierce's speech. "Minister Fudge, you are a bit empty-handed. We are not philanthropists." "That's right." "Yes." The other directors were thinking about the same thing at this time, and they all agreed with Lucius. Fudge's eyes drifted to Dumbledore, asking for his help. Dumbledore shrugged and glanced away, thinking, "Look, let's just say it's difficult." Lucius and other directors To put it this way, it doesn't mean that they don't invest in the Triwizard Tournament. Most of them are businessmen who put their interests first. If they frustrate the Ministry of Magic first, they can get more when the profits are distributed later. The board meeting lasted from morning to noon, everyone was vomiting, and at the end Dumbledore left Fudge to lunch. "No, I still have something to do at the ministry, so I'm going back first." Fudge left in a hurry. He couldn't even eat anymore, he was so angry that the dignified Minister of Magic and the others didn't give him any face, even though they agreed to the investment. But the final profit share was far lower than Fudge expected. He wanted the Ministry of Magic to get 70% and the Board of Directors to get 30%. "Why don't you go and rob? We'll pay for it, we'll bear the risk, and you can take the bulk. It's not that easy for robbers." Lucius said without mercy at all. In the end, the board of directors takes 65% and the Ministry of Magic takes 35%. Of course, this is when there is a profit. If there is a loss, the loss is also the investment of the board of directors. "Minister, at least the issue of large investment funds has been solved. I will negotiate with the remaining sponsors in the next two days." Pierce could see that Fudge was in a bad mood and said cautiously. Dumbledore went to the Black Mansion in a good mood and brought good news to Lupine. "The board of directors has agreed to find another professor for the advanced class, and the salary will be paid by the Ministry of Magic." Lupine has broken the legendary curse that Voldemort placed on the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. He joined the job in November last year, and as long as the semester starts, he can He will be re-elected in November. "But I only have two classes a week, and the salary offered by the Ministry of Magic is not high. Few people are willing to work full-time, unless they work part-time at night." Lupine said. "Then there's nothing I can do. I can only look for it first. Let's put a sign in the Daily Prophet tomorrow." Sean learned that Hogwarts was recruiting advanced professors, and he also read about it in that day's newspaper. owned. "This development is really getting further and further out of my control. The Triwizard Tournament is inherently complex, and it's hard for me to even think of something happening." In the northeastern part of England, in a quaint castle deep in the mountains of Lincolnshire, a middle-aged man He was reading the Daily Prophet with joy on his face. "Isn't work coming soon?" In the hot July sun, in addition to the chirping of cicadas in midsummer, there was also the sound of joy in No. 12 Grimmauld Place. On July 31st, Harry's 14th birthday, when Sirius went to pick Harry up at No. 4 Privet Drive, he brought him a piece of news that made Harry happier than any gift. "Dumbledore has agreed. From today on, Harry will move in with me." Sirius said to the Dursleys. "Let's go, let's go, I can't stand this weird thing for a long time..." The words that Uncle Vernon wanted to say were already on his lips, and when he saw the look in Sirius's eyes, he swallowed them back.

Dumbledore also considered this decision for a long time, because Lily's underage protection law for Harry allowed Harry to be protected from magical harm from Voldemort, but based on this blood magic, Harry needed to stay in a place where he had a blood relationship. aunt's side. Sirius had been suggesting to Dumbledore that he should take Harry to his home during the holidays. With him and Lupin there, there would be no danger. Dumbledore thought about it and felt that with the two of them protecting Harry, and the concealment of the Black Mansion, it should be able to deal with all emergencies. In addition, Harry was very unhappy living at the Dursleys, so Dumbledore agreed. . It can be said that Harry had no nostalgia for this family. He packed his luggage in just two minutes and just spoke to the Dursleys in a simple and polite manner. "Goodbye" Compared to the Dursleys, whom he has known for 14 years, he feels more cordial to the handsome man in front of him whom he has only known for more than a year. When Sirius returned home with Harry, the house elf Kreacher was already decorating the house for his birthday. People who are familiar with Harry, as well as some members of the Order of the Phoenix, received early birthday party invitations from Sirius. "Hey, Harry." Ron hugged his best friend with a smile on his face. Harry saw that the Weasley family was particularly friendly, "Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, I'm so glad you can come." "Of course, this is Harry's birthday party." Molly said with a smile. While several people were talking, the doorbell rang. Kreacher stepped forward to open the door, and a huge figure blocked the door. "Hagrid." Harry grinned happily. "Harry!" Hermione's voice came from behind Hagrid. "I just went to pick up Hermione," Hagrid said. Due to Dumbledore's Fidelity Charm, the old Black Mansion was well hidden. Only he, the secret keeper, and his authorized insiders could see the entrance. Hermione couldn't come alone, so Hagrid was asked to pick her up. she. Sean, Snape, Professor McGonagall, and members of the Order of the Phoenix arrived one after another, each bringing gifts. "Happy birthday, Harry, I hope you will like this gift." Sean knew Harry's preferences. He bought a set of Quidditch robes at the Quidditch boutique and asked the shop owner to pack them carefully. Sean saw that several professors were there and everyone was chatting happily. He couldn't help but walked to Lupine curiously and asked. "Professor, is there any news about the recruitment for the upper class?" "It has been decided. A few days after the newspaper was published, many applicants came in. Dumbledore personally interviewed, and finally the Shafik family was chosen. Yes, he also graduated from Hogwarts." "The Shafiq family? It sounds a bit impressive, is it also a pure-blood family?" Sean has very little information about the Shafiq family before time travel. I have never heard of this family. I have traveled to the wizarding world and lived in it for more than ten years, and only occasionally heard people mention it in bars with complicated fish and dragons. "Well, it's the Shafiq family, one of the twenty-eight pure-blood families in the UK. They live in seclusion in Lincolnshire. This family is very low-key. When I was studying, there seemed to be a senior from this family." Lupine said. "It's really low-key. It's really rare to hear about this family in newspapers or wizard gossip." Sean agreed. Lu Ping smiled, "However, you may have been in contact with this family very early." "Huh?" Sean looked confused. His memory was not bad. He had never seen anyone named Shafei since he was a child. grams. "It's not just you, most of us are the same." This aroused Sean's curiosity.
