Naturally, Newland could not see the lonely look of Sigeffen.

At this moment, he had come out of another fireplace a hundred miles away.

He smiled and patted the dust on his body, twirling and looking around.

What he is in now is actually an apartment with a small area.

Compared with the Ministry of Magic, the decoration style here is simple and novel, full of artistic atmosphere, quite modern.

The only regret is that the furniture in the living room is slightly worn.

No, none of these furniture can be described as shabby.

It's almost like it was moved out of the garbage heap, and it doesn't fit in with the rest of the apartment.

But Newland didn't feel the slightest discomfort.

Because, all these furniture were moved from the old house.

Only these old furniture can make his sightless mother find some familiarity here.

Newland stepped on the soft carpet to the window and drew the curtains.

As the curtains slowly opened, the high-rise buildings and the tidal flow of traffic appeared in front of him.

This made Newland take a deep breath of satisfaction.

This is the inner city of New York, the most prosperous place in the entire New York City, the financial center of the entire country, and also his home.

Since the Gringotts robbery, Newland bought the apartment directly with dividends.

In the eyes of many wizards and really rich Muggles, this is not a very good choice.

After all, limited by the secrecy law, a wizard in a bustling city is almost equivalent to being banned.

It was an unbearable ordeal for wizards.

And the overly prosperous and noisy atmosphere here is not the living environment that the real Muggle rich are satisfied with.

None of this seems to be a problem for Newland, however.

As a member of the Auror Office, Link's direct subordinates, the restrictions on him by the secrecy law can almost be said to be completely non-existent.

As for the surrounding reinforced concrete cast like a cement cage, he enjoyed it immensely.

Best of all, his mother loved it too!

"Newland, are you back?"

Just as he was thinking, an old woman's voice suddenly came from behind her.

Newland turned his head with a smile, and after seeing the apron on the old woman's body, he hurriedly supported her, frowned and said:

"Mom, what are you doing? I already told you to let me do all the housework. You can't see it. What if you hurt yourself?"

Facing Newland's concern, the old woman did not see any smile on her face, and said coldly:

"Today is Thursday, why did you come back so early?"

Newland said while unbuttoning the apron on the old woman:

"After get off work, I'll go home naturally."

"lie!"

The old woman clearly lost her sight, but she stretched out her hand and grabbed Newland's ear precisely and said, "Look, you are obviously lazy and came back early! I warn you, Newland, your boss is really treating you. Good! If you forget his kindness, don't work hard, or do something sorry for him, then the consequences..."

The old woman did not continue speaking, but only slightly increased the strength in her hands.

To be honest, this kind of strength is actually nothing to the rough-skinned Newland.

But Nuland still cooperated and leaned down, exclaiming in pain:

"It's wrong, it's wrong, Mom, I know it's wrong!"

"As long as you know!"

The old woman let go of her hand, and then rubbed Newland's hand in distress, and began to ramble on.

Newland, on the other hand, had a smirk on his face.

"Jingle Bell--"

The soft doorbell rang quietly.

The old woman and Newland who were chatting were stunned.

They weren't welcome in the apartment, and usually no neighbors would stop by.

Newland let go of the old woman's hand suspiciously and slowly came to the door.

Through the cat's eyes, he could clearly see a coolly dressed OL woman standing outside the door.

The other party also seemed to notice that someone had arrived behind the door and was watching her.

So she smiled slightly, adjusted her glasses and said:

"Mr. Newland, I have a considerable business to discuss with you."

"Go away, I'm not buying anything!"

Newland cursed, "Damn it, the agent said when I bought this apartment that the housekeeping and security services here are top-notch? But what's the result? Now even the salesman has put it up. What rubbish! I'm going to complain to them in a minute!"

"Newland! No swearing! As for the lady salesman outside, let her speak first. It's really boring to be here all alone."

The old woman said aloud, and Newland, who had been angry before, immediately scratched her head in embarrassment and said:

"Okay, Mom, I was wrong."

As he spoke, he opened the door that he had sealed with the spell earlier.

As the door opened, the blonde ol girl outside the door smiled awkwardly and said:

"Actually, I'm not really a salesman."

With a mocking smile on Newland's face, he said:

"Then what are you doing..."

Newland's voice stopped abruptly, because the blonde OL woman on the opposite side had already lifted the hem of her clothes.

Of course, the extent of opening is not large, but only slightly exposed the wand cover she hid in the bulging waist.

With a wand, it's a wizard.

"Sir, I really have a big business I want to talk to you about, do you think..."

While speaking, the blonde OL girl glanced at the old woman.

The meaning is already obvious.

The smile on Newland's face disappeared instantly, he quietly closed the door, and said lightly:

"That's my mother. I won't hide anything from her. If you have anything, just say it directly."

"If that's the case, then fine."

The blonde OL woman pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Newland, we are well aware of your position at the Ministry of Magic and your relationship with Link Foley. So, we need you to do something for us. Of course, None of these things are too dangerous, and they are all small things that you can do. As a price, we will give you an offer that you cannot refuse. For example, one hundred thousand gold Galleons."

When the blonde OL girl was halfway through speaking, the old woman who was still listening on the side had turned around and walked back to the kitchen.

This move made the blonde OL girl very satisfied.

After she finished speaking, she even stepped forward to lick Newland's earlobe and said charmingly:

"Even, I can be considered an additional condition."

Nuland's face flushed a little when he heard this.

He breathed a little while his throat was squirming and said:

"who are you?"

"We can't talk about this." The blonde OL girl said with a smile, "But I think you already have some eyebrows in your heart, don't you?"

Newland nodded and asked again:

"Indeed, I can probably guess your identities. But the question is, how did you choose me. And the means are still like this..."

"So direct?"

The blonde OL girl said along the way, "This is actually very simple, because you and Link Foley are not in the same group, aren't they? We have studied you in depth for a long time, and you will die if you die. It's a relationship of mutual use. And since Link Foley can afford the price, we can naturally give you more. You should have no reason to reject us. Therefore, those so-called temptations can be avoided. already."

After she finished speaking, she raised her head proudly.

It looked like he was already winning.

But it's not really her fault.

Because at this time, Newland was so excited that he was almost unable to control himself.

This look seems to be confused by beauty and money.

And this is completely in line with the previous investigation by the blonde OL woman on him.

Newland is a total profit machine.

The hard life in the past had already stripped the so-called loyalty from his spirit.

Such people are born to be traitors!

The blonde OL woman was thinking about it when the old woman came out of the kitchen again.

However, unlike before, at this time, she was holding a sushi knife in her hand.

The afterglow of the setting sun outside the window shone on the blade, reflecting the dazzling light.

This reflection made the blonde OL woman can't help but narrow her eyes, and she also had a bad premonition in her heart.

A gust of wind came suddenly.

The blonde OL girl instinctively turned her head, only to see the brilliant work in front of her, and then her whole body flew out like she was hit by a moving train.

thump—

She fell to the ground fiercely, the violent impact made her whole body numb, and her consciousness fell into a brief confusion.

But at the last moment of the coma, she saw that Newland, who was holding a wand in his hand, hugged the old woman and cheered excitedly:

"Mom! I caught this spy! This time I will definitely be promoted again!"

The blonde OL woman watching this scene almost vomited blood.

She forced herself not to pass out, stretched out her hand with difficulty and murmured:

"For...why?"

"How dare you ask me why?"

Newland asked in surprise, then looked around and smiled sarcastically.

All this around is the answer.

The big apartment, his current job, his mother's healthy body...

All of this comes from Link Foley.

Just like what his mother just said, the kindness of Lord Link Foley to him cannot be described in words!

Facing such a boss, there is no such thing as betrayal!

"The movement just now was so big, did you strike too hard?"

Newland was smiling, but the old woman pinched his ear precisely, "Why don't you send it to your boss soon? Don't let people die!"

"Oh! Got it, Mom!"

As Newland spoke, he hurriedly started tying up the female OL who had lost the ability to move, and along the way, he even cleaned up the furniture that was smashed by the female OL.

And listening to the movement in the apartment, the old woman also showed a relieved smile.

Although Newland has always said that he is doing business with his boss.

To be more specific, she didn't tell her anything, but she actually knew in her heart that what her son was doing was probably not a serious job.

The boss he knew at school wouldn't be a good guy either.

After all, how can a good person earn so much money doing a serious job?

But that's okay.

Who can raise their children in a healthy place like Spinning Shuttle Alley?

The old woman didn't care whether Newland was in a serious job.

If her son is a thief, then she should be a thief wife.

This is a very normal thing in the concept of an old woman.

The only thing she cared about was whether her son was safe.

...

at the same time.

Inside the headmaster's office at Hogwarts.

After many days, Link finally saw Dumbledore again.

Compared to a few days ago, Dumbledore looked as if he had just suffered a serious illness.

The whole person looks haggard and has huge dark circles under his eyes.

"Professor Dumbledore, you should pay attention to rest." Link said while stroking Arkham's head, "Don't be killed by the enemy, but you are exhausted."

Hearing this, Dumbledore's brows twitched, and his eyes stared at Link with resentment.

This made Link a little embarrassed.

After all, Dumbledore's appearance was probably caused by the pile of documents handed over by Professor McGonagall.

It is indeed inappropriate to say some sarcastic words on the side.

"Cough-cough-"

He coughed twice and said, "Let's get down to business, Professor Dumbledore, why did you call me here this time?"

Dumbledore was about to speak, but Link continued:

"I guess it's not because of work, right? You should be able to solve those things easily by yourself, and you don't need me to intervene at all."

"Sorry, you guessed wrong."

Dumbledore said coldly, "I called you here because there are some tasks that you and I need to do together."

Hearing that, Link sighed.

He knew that Dumbledore naturally said so, so there was no room for manoeuvre at this time.

It seems that his leisure fishing life is about to end.

Link adjusted his sitting position helplessly and said:

"What exactly is the job?"

"School is just around the corner, you don't need to worry about the tedious work such as admissions. We have more experience and do better in this regard. But there is a job that cannot be done with my strength alone. ."

Dumbledore said lightly, "Since the middle of last semester, the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts has been taught by Severus. It is indeed feasible to temporarily adopt this teaching method, but it is now It's a new semester, and it's time for us to find a new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor."

After speaking, Dumbledore's face faintly revealed a schadenfreude smile.

Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

This position can be said to be magical to the extreme.

It's almost impossible for anyone to sit in this position for a full year.

And almost all those who have held this position will suffer misfortune.

That's why it hasn't even been said to have suffered Voldemort's curse.

This kind of rumor is actually absurd and almost unreasonable.

But the former Defence Against the Dark Arts professors who suffered a long run of misfortunes made the latecomers unbelievable.

At the same time, this situation also makes the selection of the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts every year a major problem.

It can be said that Dumbledore spent a lot of time on this every year in the past.

And now, it was Link's turn to worry.

Presumably Link will also have a headache because of this, right?

Just imagining Link's frowning expression made Dumbledore want to laugh.

However, upon hearing this, Link said very indifferently:

"Isn't it simple? Although no one wants to be a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor outside, there are people in our school who do. Professor Snape, isn't he very happy to be a part-time Defence Against the Dark Arts professor? He himself Thinking about it, he should be willing, so let him directly become a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

That way, we'll just have to find another potions professor.

Compared with the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, the professor of potions should be much easier to find. "

Having said that, Link paused, looked at Dumbledore's slightly darkened face and said with a smile:

"You should have planned these things long ago, right?"

Dumbledore was taking deep breaths back and forth.

It doesn't feel good to have a plan completely broken.

After a while, he said with an ugly expression:

"How did you know?"

Link didn't speak, just shook his head silently.

He certainly couldn't say that Dumbledore arranged it that way in the original.

And his actions, in Dumbledore's eyes, turned out to be triumphant.

Dumbledore rubbed his hands, and this suppressed the depression in his heart:

"Like you said, I'm going to make Severus the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor for the new semester, and Severus has agreed. As for the new potions professor, I chose Huo Huo. Russ Slughorn."

Perhaps it was because he thought that a young man like Link didn't know Horace Slughorn, Dumbledore explained, "He, like Severus, is the vice president of the National Potions Association. At the same time, he also served as a professor of potions at Hogwarts, and the head of Slytherin. So in terms of teaching level, you can give him enough credit."

So this is the standard retirement re-employment.

Link complained in his heart, but on the surface he nodded lightly and said:

"Then decide it's him, Professor Dumbledore, let it go, I absolutely trust you."

Hearing this, Dumbledore's originally ugly face eased a lot.

He slowly got up and said:

"If that's the case, let's go."

"Let's go?" Link was a little confused, "Where to go?"

"Going to Horace Slughorn, of course, don't you think I brought him back to Hogwarts without your consent?"

"No~lightnovelpub.net~ Of course I don't think that way. I just think you can deal with this matter."

"But you're also one of the commissioners at Hogwarts, aren't you? You should at least be involved in these things. And Horace Slughorn, you should see him too. He's a very special one. Man, I don't know if it was a winning decision to re-enroll him into Hogwarts. Anyway, you'll know when you see him."

Dumbledore spoke very seriously.

This made Link have no way out.

He took a long sigh and finally got up.

This brought a smile to Dumbledore's face.

He smiled slightly, and the steaming phoenix fire immediately covered the bodies of the two of them.
