Chapter 485 Career Guidance, Potential to Be a Robber
As the Easter holiday came to an end, Professor Snape sent a notice to Aaron, the prefect.
He followed the instructions of the Slytherin Dean and posted the notice on the bulletin board in the Slytherin common room so that all Slytherins could see it.
Career Guidance
During the first week of the summer semester, all fifth-year students must meet with their Dean to discuss future employment issues. The interview time for each student is shown in the table below
Draco glanced at the notice, with a flash of contempt and amusement in his eyes.
Employment? But a rich second-generation like him still needs employment. Isn't it pure self-humiliation to find a job?
"Aaron, what do you think?"
"There are a total of twelve compulsory and elective courses. It shouldn't be a problem to get all of them as excellent." Aaron said confidently. Although he hardly took the arithmetic divination class, the relevant textbooks were all in his mind. He had mastered this knowledge, not to mention the theory, and he had no problem with practical operation.
Draco looked strange, "I'm asking about career guidance."
"The better your grades and the more certificates you get, the easier it will be to find a job."
"Are you really going to find a job?" Draco asked in surprise, "With our family conditions, we can just win by inheriting the family property!"
Hearing this, Aaron laughed dumbly.
"That's true, but if you inherit the family property without knowing anything, you will only be a prodigal. It's easy to live on your old capital, but it's too boring.
You can only feel at ease when you enjoy the wealth you have worked hard for.
Besides, I don't want to inherit the family business so early. I don't even know how much Gaius's family has, and it's too tiring to manage."
Draco blinked blankly, "I may not have your awareness."
"That's normal." Aaron said with emotion, "Uncle Lucius probably arranged everything for you. After graduation, he will take you to familiarize yourself with the operating model of the Malfoy family and create greater value with the wealth accumulated over hundreds of years.
But the Gaius family has a lot of things for the heirs. The attitude of Draco can be summed up in two words: free-range.
The family business must be inherited, but I have more autonomy. "
Draco nodded, not quite understanding, "What kind of career do you want to pursue in the future?"
"Therapist, pharmacist, fortune teller, photographer, work in the Ministry of Magic, etc. I am confident that I can do it." Aaron said after a moment of silence, "But if nothing unexpected happens, I should be a teacher. I think I have a lot of experience in this area."
"In Hogwarts?"
"Yes, this school is very important to me." Aaron said seriously. Hogwarts is a Feng Shui treasure land that cannot be given up no matter what. After a few decades, he may become the god of magic.
Being a professor is just a stopgap measure. When he has enough qualifications, he will be the new principal of Hogwarts.
"I thought you were going into business?"
"The shop in Diagon Alley is just to make some pocket money, otherwise it wouldn't have been a beverage shop for several years.
To be honest, with my cooking skills, the revenue can be increased by at least ten times if I turn it into a restaurant."
Draco:......
......
Aaron's career guidance was scheduled for Monday, and after lunch he followed Professor Snape to his office.
Looking at the dim walls and the densely packed glass jars and animal specimens along the walls, Aaron couldn't help smacking his lips, "Professor, I'm not saying anything bad about you.
This office was in this style when I first came here, and it's still in this style after a few years. Can't you make it a little more sunny?"
"Be serious." Professor Snape sat down, "This is your career guidance."
Aaron shrugged, moved a chair for himself, and took a bottle of juice from Abe's pocket, "Professor, would you like some?
I have whiskey, brandy, vodka, rum, ice wine and various fruit wines here, in short, everything you need."
"I want you to be serious." Professor Snape said in a deep voice, then looked at Abe, "For your studies, I think I need to confiscate all your drinks."
"I have no objection, as long as you can do it."
Roar!
Abe immediately roared like a holy dragon, and the red flames were looming in his mouth.
"I was just joking." Professor Snape said embarrassedly, acting very sincere.
He didn't think he couldn't beat an Abe, but this was his territory after all, and all the potions and materials were his personal belongings. If the bottles and jars were broken, he would still be the one to suffer the loss.
In other words, his impression of Abe was still stuck in a few years ago. If he knew that Abe could now become more than ten meters, I wonder if he would still have the confidence to think so.
Aaron patted Abe's dragon head, and it immediately restrained its dragon power and lay obediently in Aaron's arms.
"Professor, you can continue."
"I know that you won't have to worry about a job given your family background, but I still want to know your thoughts on employment so that I can help you decide which subjects you should study in your sixth and seventh grades."
"Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts." Aaron said without hesitation.
Professor Snape was stunned for a moment, then raised a curve at the corner of his mouth, "To be honest, I'm a little surprised. I've always wanted to apply for this position, but Dumbledore has never agreed."
"Maybe he is worried that you can't handle that position."
"What a joke." Professor Snape said disdainfully, "My research on dark magic is definitely better than all your previous professors."
"Including Quirrell?" Aaron said playfully.
Professor Snape's expression froze. He knew that Aaron was not referring to Quirrell, but Voldemort who possessed Quirrell, but no matter how confident he was, he would not be stupid enough to compete with the Dark Lord in dark magic.
"Ahem, Quirrell is an exception."
Aaron smiled but said nothing. Snape read a strong sense of ridicule from his smile and immediately looked serious, "Are you teasing me? Or do you also think that I am not qualified to be the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts?"
"Of course not, Professor, you may have misunderstood me. What I meant was that Dumbledore might be worried that you can't handle the curse of that position.
Since I started school, no one has been able to stay in that position for a full year."
"That's because they are not capable enough." Professor Snape said indifferently.
"I am somewhat confident in my ability." Aaron smiled shyly, "I will be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor after graduation."
Professor Snape:......
"I personally think you are more suitable for the Potions professor.
After I become the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, the Potions professor position will be vacant, and I can be your sponsor at that time."
"That... is not impossible."
Professor Snape was very satisfied with Aaron's attitude, "You don't need too many certificates to be a full-time professor, but you must fully understand the subject you want to teach, and it is best to prove your ability."
"Is it that easy?" Aaron said in astonishment. Hogwarts' requirements for professors seemed to be lower than he thought.
"Why else do you think Hagrid can teach the Care of Magical Creatures class?
Dumbledore's preference is one thing, but he does have an extraordinary understanding of magical creatures." Professor Snape said, "Of course, the more certificates the better, so that even if there are competitors, you will have a full advantage."
"I see." Aaron nodded thoughtfully, "I still have enough confidence in the exam. It should not be a problem to get an O evaluation for all twelve certificates."
"I don't doubt this."
"Thank you, professor, then I will go back first."
"Wait." Snape Snape suddenly said, "There's one more thing."
"You tell me."
Snape was silent for several seconds before he said awkwardly, "After the Christmas holidays, Dumbledore asked me to teach Harry Potter how to occlumency..."
"I know that, Abe told me." Aaron stroked the holy dragon in his arms, "Wait, professor, don't tell me that Harry is still stubborn and hasn't given in!"
"Humph! I thought he would be so shameless as to beg me, but I didn't expect that he still had some self-esteem."
"So what exactly is the conflict between you two?" Aaron asked with curiosity.
"It's none of your business."
"Okay! Anyway, I'm too lazy to care."
"No, you have to care." Professor Snape said hesitantly, "You should also know the brain block technique, go and teach Potter for me."
"I won't go." Aaron refused bluntly, "I'm not idle, why should I teach him?"
"Just do me a favor."
"That won't work either." Aaron was unmoved, "Professor, I respect you very much, and I will try my best to help you.
But this is obviously not your business, I have no obligation to help Harry Potter.
Besides, if I may be frank, teaching him will not do me any good."
Huh!
Snape took a deep breath, "Slytherin's interests come first, tell me! How much do you want?"
"This..." Aaron pretended to hesitate, then swallowed his saliva while looking at the various glass bottles in the office, "It depends on how many you have, professor?"
"Truth serum, joy potion, tranquilizer, blood tonic, love potion, love potion, beauty potion, water of life and death, enhancer, intelligence enhancer, hair growth potion..."
Professor Snape named more than 20 kinds of potions in a row before gritting his teeth and stopping, "Is that enough?"
Aaron shook his head slightly, then raised two fingers, "Double it."
"Why don't you go and rob?"
"Robbing is not as fast as this!" Aaron said embarrassedly, "Actually, I can also make these potions, but it's a waste of time. Fortunately, you have them ready here."
"Why do you want so many?" Snape asked puzzledly.
"Putting them on the shelf is not for anything else, but simply for my pleasure."
"In a good mood?" Snape was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "Mr. Gaius, you have the potential to be a robber!"
"Just a joke, just a joke.
I want these potions just to prepare for a rainy day. Not using them now does not mean that they will not be used in the future.
But don't worry, professor, I won't take advantage of you. I will treat these potions as if I bought them from you, and I will give you enough gold galleons at the market price."
Hearing this, Professor Snape's expression eased a little, "You know how to respect teachers and education."
"But I've spent a lot of money recently. I can only pay part of it. I'm afraid I'll have to write an IOU for the rest."
Snape looked at him in confusion, "Are you still short of money?"
"Nonsense, I give you all the money I earn myself, and I won't touch the money my family gives me easily."
Professor Snape nodded slightly, reluctantly agreeing with this statement.
Then he took dozens of glass bottles of different colors and sizes from a row of shelves along the wall and placed them all on the desk.
Aaron checked them one by one and put them in a box.
"The goods are fine, pay!"
Abe reluctantly opened his pockets, then flew into the air, leaving a pile of gold galleons on the desk.
"That's all I have." Abe said aggrievedly.
"It's still more than 200 short, I'll take a loss, I'll give you 200." Snape said lightly, inexplicably feeling much better.
Aaron didn't expect that he would become a debt one day. He took out 100 gold coins from the pile and stuffed them into Abe's pocket, "You'd better put some in, otherwise you won't feel safe."
"Now it's 300 short."
"Don't be so fussy, I'll make it up to you when I come back from vacation."
Snape rolled his eyes. If you hadn't settled the bill first, I wouldn't be so tasteless.
"By the way, Professor, you are really good to Harry Potter." Aaron looked at him with a half-smile, "It's just that I am kind. If it were someone else, you would definitely bleed a lot."
"Get out."
"Okay!"
Because the career guidance took a lot of time, Aaron missed the divination class in the afternoon perfectly, and simply went directly to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.
Umbridge was not in a good mood today. Her face was almost swollen now, but she was still wrapped in a scarf, which looked very awkward.
Umbridge's teaching method did not change at all. She still gave everyone a book on Defense Against the Dark Arts theory for self-study, but she cast angry eyes at Harry from time to time.
Aaron turned the textbook into a cushion, put Abe on it, and then began to practice the ultimate elemental magic circle.
He is now only half a step away from achieving instant casting. As long as he practices diligently, he can do it before the holiday, and then he will have an extra trump card.
In class, Harry stared at the textbook absent-mindedly, his eyes dull. Hermione kept whispering something beside him, looking very worried.
When the bell rang, Hermione looked more distressed, obviously not convincing Harry.
At this time, there was a violent noise outside, screams and shouts echoed on the fourth floor.
Umbridge ran up the stairs in the direction of the sound with her short legs. The students who had just left the classroom stared at the ceiling above their heads nervously, fearing that it would fall down at any time.
Only Harry carried his schoolbag and ran in the completely opposite direction.
"Where did he go?" Aaron asked curiously, "It seems to be premeditated, with a strong purpose.
And someone is covering for him, is it George and Fred?"
"You can analyze this?" Ron asked in disbelief.
Aaron rolled his eyes and pointed at the students who were moving to the east side of the tower in unison, "Is this still worth analyzing? His performance is too damn obvious."
