The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

v3 Chapter 209: Favorite jobs (2 in 1)

The school recruitment venue is actually the Quidditch pitch, but at this time there is an extra roof on the top of the pitch, and all the goalposts in the pitch have disappeared, replaced by open lattice rooms separated by wooden boards. There are a few small tables and chairs. These cubicles are the locations for school recruitment interviews.

As for the stadium stands, they were not closed and kept open. Students who are tired from shopping can come here to take a break, take stock of their own gains and losses, or come to a quiet place for further detailed discussions with the person in charge of the company they like.

When a few people came outside the stadium, the Ministry of Magic's school recruitment hadn't started yet, but many wizards who were about to graduate had already gathered outside the stadium. Tom saw that among the group of students were Percy from Gryffindor, Oliver Wood, Gabriel Truman, the prefect of Hufflepuff, and many seniors who were familiar but couldn't name them.

It turned out that they were graduating soon, and the opening dinner seemed to happen yesterday... Tom was a little emotional.

Several people joined the queue together. Seeing Tom coming, Percy offered to greet him. Today's Percy is also very formally dressed, giving people the illusion that all the pocket money he has saved in the past seven years has been used to buy clothes.

Actually, Percy didn't break the bank. He was going to rent a suit, but while wandering around the castle, he stumbled into a room full of coats and hats, and solved the clothes problem directly.

At exactly nine o'clock, the gate of the Quidditch stadium slowly opened, revealing the well-organized venue inside, and the students who were waiting outside filed in and went straight to the booth of the department they had been optimistic about before.

"Take this." Robert took out a booklet from nowhere and handed it to Tom. The above is the layout of today's venue and the introduction of the positions offered by each department.

The introduction of the Ministry of Magic is still very detailed. The name of the position and the requirements for certificates will be written on the top, and the job content of the position will be summarized in a paragraph below.

For example, the Muggle Liaison Officer provided by the Muggle Issues Mediation Committee under the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters only needs an O.W.L.s Muggle Studies Certificate, and requires applicants to be "enthusiastic, patient, and have a good sense of humor"

Generally speaking, no serious wizard would want to take the job, because against individual Muggles - such as the Dursleys - it is not enough to have a good sense of humor, but also enough force. When Hagrid met Uncle Vernon for the first time, he was directly pointed at the gun. That meeting ended with Hagrid successfully proving that the punch was quick within seven steps, and he completed the task flawlessly.

After entering the court, Robert also became nervous.

"Well, you go shopping first, I'm going for an interview."

"Good luck!"

"Thanks."

Tom and Robert were separated in this way.

Tom took the pamphlet and looked for the booth where he was going to meet.

"Magical Creature Management and Control Division... Creature Management and Control Division, here we are! Dementor Office... D8..." Tom began to look for No. 8 in D-block.

"Tom, you're going to—" Hermione approached, but Tom quickly closed the booklet.

"That's it. Go and see the positions you're interested in. I'll go first." Tom stuffed the brochure into Hermione's hand and walked away quickly. Leaving Hermione alone in a daze.

Tom Yoddle! Hermione didn't expect Tom to really "fly solo", she subconsciously wanted to keep up, but Tom twisted around and quickly disappeared into the vast crowd.

Area D8 is at the corner of the venue. The location in this corner explains the actual treatment of this job: it doesn't matter. Such hot or important departments as the Auror Office and the Office of the Minister of Magic are naturally arranged in the most conspicuous places.

Newly established departments like the Dementor Office were squeezed into corners. D8 compartment, it can’t be said that no one cares about it, but it can also be called empty. Not only D8, but the cubicles around it are surprisingly quiet, because next to it are a series of school recruitment booths that are not used by the Ministry of Magic, such as the Centaur Liaison Office.

In fact, in previous years, several offices shared a cubicle here, but this year, the ministry did not know what was going on, and they had to go to each office, so everyone had to separate.

This also resulted in the absence of anyone in the nearby cubicles, except for the Dementor Office. There lay a witch on her stomach, trying to catch up on her sleep.

"Ahem!" Tom cleared his throat, and the witch raised her head from the table.

She was wrapped tightly, only showing a pair of eyes.

"I'm here to apply for the head of the Dementor Office. Here's my resume." Tom handed the letter out.

"Come with me." The witch nodded, and brought Tom to the locker room on the Quidditch pitch.

After confirming that it was safe, the witch took off her hood and veil, revealing Burns' face.

"So? Why did you take all the trouble to find me?" Tom was curious about the reason why Burns took the risk to come here.

"You're younger than I thought," Burns sighed, and told Tom of her latest decision.

Tom: ...

It's really fun to play!

Tom shook his head, "You promised to set up a dementor office instead of three organizations. Such management would be chaotic."

Burns was silent for a short while. Her plan ended up getting stuck at this point.

"That's right—"

"My request is very clear. The dementors and I will only connect with one organization—as for you wanting to find an excuse to send people to Azkaban, I have no objection." Tom's attitude was very tough. Of course he knows the benefits of decentralizing power, but the problem is that he is in charge of the Department of Magic that is connected to Azkaban!

You dismantled my car, sold a pile of scrap iron, and then talked to me about the benefits of dismantling the car? Yes, I can get scrap money, but I don't have a car! The salaries of the people in this department are not paid by me.

Wouldn't someone really dismantle their own car/boat, and then happily make scrap iron money? No way, no way?

Tom stared at Burns with burning eyes, very imposing. Yes, the Ministry of Magic is behind you Burns, but don't forget how you got there. Behind me, Tom Yodel, there are Dementors and Dumbledore, do you really want to play tricks?

Tom has done the best of foxes and tigers.

He had to expand his and Dumbledore's influence within the Ministry of Magic. Because history has proved that the Ministry of Magic is unreliable in the face of the menacing Voldemort, and it can only rely on its own efforts. This is the helplessness of ordinary people in the great age.

Burns sighed, he was still too greedy, the wizard in front of him was not so easy to fool.

"Okay, then I'll listen to you, and only establish one institution. Which department do you want to put this institution under? I must remind you that this is a bit ostentatious, and it may expose you to the public eye." Bo Erns chose to give in.

Although this will bring a series of troubles, they are all troubles caused by her, and it is natural for her to find a way to calm them down.

"Magic Creature Management and Control Department." Tom chose the relatively unpopular Magical Creature Management and Control Department from the two departments. My current influence is too weak, and the reputation of the dementors is too bad. It would be bad if I acted in a high-profile manner and attracted Voldemort's firepower. So it's better to keep a low profile first, wait for Voldemort to make a comeback, and then act in the camera. Valley look

The department will be started in a tepid manner first, and the shelves will be put up first.

After Burns backed down, things became a lot easier to talk about. Tom and Burns soon hit it off.

"Then I entrust you to take care of the special commissioner of the Ministry of Magic." Bones did not forget to arrange for Umbridge before going out.

"Of course, I'll choose a good room for her, by the way, the Hippogriff case..."

"I'll be there in person."

The two completed the exchange of interests in the dark room.

"Next time, you send the letter to this address, so that you can bypass the Ministry of Magic and communicate directly." Burns pulled out his wand, leaving a line of bright silver writing on the ground.

After doing this, she left the dressing room.

In the main venue, Hogwarts' school recruitment is in full swing.

Percy strode into the venue after the stadium opened, went straight to area A1 where the office of the Minister of Magic was located, and became the first interviewer in this area.

The person who received him was none other than Mafalda, secretary of the Minister of Magic.

The gray-haired witch was sitting on a stool, looking small, with a teacup and a pair of writing boards on the table in front of her. Today she is wearing a light blue robe and looks very relaxed.

Hogwarts was a warm place for her, and since she was the interviewer, there was nothing to be nervous about. And seeing the familiar layout in the venue, Mafalda felt cordial from the bottom of his heart.

[I must be an amiable interviewer] She secretly cheered herself up from the bottom of her heart.

Just after nine o'clock, the first interviewer came. He was tall, thin, and looked refined. His fiery red hair was particularly eye-catching.

Just seeing this hair, Mafalda had a rough guess about the identity of the visitor.

"Hello, please sit down." She showed a friendly smile and said briefly. This made Percy feel relieved: his tactics were indeed correct!

The earlier you come, the more energetic and friendly the interviewers will be.

"This is my resume." He took out a resume from his bag, handed it over, and then sat down on a chair. However, his **** was only slightly in contact with the chair, and he felt like he was about to bounce off the chair in a second.

really! After seeing Percy's name, Mafalda had a thrill of guessing the anagram. Percy Weasley, third son of Arthur Weasley, head of the Hogwarts Student Union, very good student - his O.W.L.s results can prove it.

She drew a stack of pamphlets from under her desk.

"So which position do you want to apply for? Take it easy and tell me."

Percy sat down facing Mafalda, trying to suppress the tension in his heart. He swallowed: "I would rather be an assistant minister."

This Assistant Minister certainly does not refer to Mafalda's position. Even if Percy is Burns' illegitimate son, there is not even the slightest possibility. This position cannot be handed over to a fledgling kid. Mafalda had worked in the Ministry of Magic for more than ten years before he got the job with his friend's promotion.

The job Percy wanted was really called a recorder. The content of the job is to attend various meetings or court trials with the minister, and then make records.

Mafalda nodded, "Based on your performance at Hogwarts, it's not impossible. I can ask the minister to see if she needs an assistant."

It was a tactful way of telling Percy that his idea was impossible.

"But..." She changed the topic, "I read your resume, and I think it's a sure thing to be an assistant in the department below."

Percy's eyes lit up: this seemed like an excellent choice, too.

The reason why the department of the Office of the Minister of Magic is very popular is that it can assign graduates to various departments as assistants to the top leaders. This starting point is very high. First experience with the director for a period of time, and then be released outside. In many cases, the starting point of people here is the end point of others.

"Before I do this, I have to make it clear that although your previous resume is very outstanding, you must have a good enough N.E.W.T. exam certificate." Mafalda said, she took out a silver certificate from her pile of books small notebook.

"The requirements of the directors are not low, and some individuals have special requirements. Generally speaking, you must have at least four N.E.W.T. examination certificates, and the results cannot be lower than "good". This is one less than the Auror requirement. .The Department of Magical Sports and Sports also requires you to have a certain level of Quidditch..."

Mafalda looked at Percy, "So which division do you prefer?"

Percy's brain was running fast, "The Department of Magical Law Enforcement and the Department of International Magical Cooperation are very good."

Mafalda looked up at him, "I personally recommend that you go to the Department of International Magical Cooperation. Mr. Crouch is a respectable wizard, and you should get along well with him. And there will be big magic circles this year and next year." Movement, there will be a lot of opportunities to practice in this division."

Percy was a little confused: what big move? Is it the Quidditch World Cup? It seems that it is indeed related to the Department of International Magical Cooperation, but isn't this the main business of the Department of Magical Sports?

Seeing that Percy was in a daze, Mafalda didn't want to reveal too much—that big event was still top secret, and only a few people, including her and the Minister of Magic, knew about it.

Percy is a little hesitant~lightnovelpub.net~ In fact, he is more inclined towards the Department of International Magical Cooperation in his heart. As the assistant to the director, it is very likely that he will often meet and even cooperate with his father.

Percy didn't really want to.

"Well, I'll transfer your resume to both companies to see the final result." Mafalda gave a compromise solution.

"Thank you for your hard work." Percy thanked her very seriously.

After a while, Percy walked out of the cubicle in the office of the Minister of Magic, glanced at the long queue outside the cubicle, and left without saying a word.

Wan Duzi, the situation in our community is not good...

There is a very interesting analogy, I posted it here.

Good food lately, I'm posting it here.
