Chapter 670 The Growth of the Cat Club

Cornelius Fudge finally found someone to take Umbridge's job.

To be precise, he just took over the job of Senior Investigator of Hogwarts. Anyway, no one wanted to take the position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

The new investigator was none other than Kingsley Shacklebolt, who was originally responsible for hunting down Sirius.

Although there are many Aurors in the Ministry of Magic, not many are truly useful, and even fewer can gain Fudge's trust...

The key thing is that Kingsley, who is trusted by Fudge, has long been a member of the Order of the Phoenix secretly.

It can only be said that Fudge, the Minister of Magic, has indeed always lived in Dumbledore's shadow. It is no wonder that he has so much resentment towards Dumbledore.

After Kingsley arrived at Hogwarts, he just pretended to investigate for a few days, and then started fishing. By the way, he also learned the truth from Dumbledore...

What else could he do? I could only admit it with a wry smile. Anyway, it was not me who was lying in St. Mungo's now.

As for the Defense Against Dark Arts class, it is the same as before, with the four deans taking turns teaching it.

After Umbridge was sent to the hospital, Fish also returned to his original comfortable life of sleeping in class and playing after class.

As for the educational orders issued by the Ministry of Magic, due to Kingsley's active neglect, they are now nothing more than a piece of paper, and no one cares about them at all.

As a result, the activities of the Cat Club no longer need to be so secretive. Many professors have noticed Harry's mysterious movements. There are also a few sensitive students among the students, and they have also noticed that the senior students seem to be Do something secretly.

So Hermione carried out an expansion of recruitment very simply.

The members recruited this time were mainly from the third and fourth grades, and Hermione not only gave them a fake Galleon, but also gave them an additional fake Silver Sickle.

"The date on False Gallon is an event for all members to participate in. If there is nothing else, it is best to participate as much as possible; while the date on False West is for personal tutoring for the first batch of members in their free time. You can choose whether to go or not. Go." Hermione said to the new members.

After glancing at the twins, she added: "The forms of these personal tutorings vary. Sometimes it may be Fish taking you to play in the Forbidden Forest, sometimes it may be George and Fred who need help. They test products and get started... Although this does allow you to learn something, they will also give you a certain amount of compensation..."

After Hermione reluctantly said a good word for the twins, she reminded: "But there is still a risk. You can confirm this with the first-year students of Gryffindor, so you can still choose to withdraw after arriving. , or just watch.”

However, her warning had no effect. The new members were all very excited. If they could, they would never miss any meeting.

In addition, there is a possibility of meeting Fei Xu and taking him to play in the Forbidden Forest, so not only the new members of the Cat Club, but also the old members will come to visit when they have time.

Unfortunately, most of the time, they encounter twins developing new products.

After all, the fifth graders have to prepare for the O.W.L. exam, and the seventh graders have to prepare for the N.E.W.T. exam, plus Quidditch training and other things. The only ones who are most free at ordinary times are the sixth graders and Fish, who are completely concerned about the test results. The twins don't care anymore.

As for Harry, there was no extra time. He had learned Occlumency more than others. Since there had been no progress during this period, Snape further increased the amount of training and even resurrected him. He didn't even have time to spare during the holidays.

The only good news is probably that Harry has not dreamed about the corridor and the door in the Department of Mysteries since Voldemort was last driven out of his mind.

Just like Snape said, Voldemort doesn't like people entering his head, but this also makes Harry less interested in learning Occlumency - Voldemort has blocked him anyway , then it shouldn’t matter whether you know Occlumency or not...

Fish's Easter vacation was not very pleasant, because the professors assigned a lot of homework, and after being banned from the shorthand quill by Professor McGonagall, Maomao was in pain every time he did his homework...

It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. After using Rita Skeeter's handy quill, Maomao became increasingly impatient with writing homework by hand. If Professor McGonagall and Hermione hadn't taken turns staring at him, he would probably have done it again. It's back to the way it was a few years ago, where you just write random things and it's done.

Toward the end of the lackluster Easter holidays, a pile of pamphlets, leaflets, and notices about the various wizarding professions appeared on the table in Gryffindor Tower, and a notice was posted on the noticeboard stating :

【Career Guidance】

During the first week of the summer semester, all fifth-year students must meet with their dean to discuss future employment opportunities. The interview time for each student is shown in the table below.

As soon as Fish saw the dense words on the forms, he felt a dull pain in his head, so while others were flipping through the pamphlets, flyers and notices about various wizard professions, he simply turned into a cat and lay down. He fell asleep on Hermione's lap.

Hermione, on the other hand, was petting the cat while discussing future career intentions with others.

Her idea of ​​improving the situation of house elves has never been extinguished, so she looked up related professions in the Ministry of Magic. However, when she thought about the performance of the Ministry of Magic in recent times, Hermione hesitated again and felt that it was difficult for her to realize her ambitions in the current Ministry of Magic.

The most important thing is...

Fish has no good feelings towards the Ministry of Magic, so if he wants to work with cats after graduation, it is obviously hopeless to choose the Ministry of Magic.

The other people in Gryffindor are not like Hermione who have a clear career plan. They basically look for which professions are suitable for them according to the subjects they are good at.

"Oh, I don't like being a healer." Ron said firmly after studying the flyer of St. Mungo's Hospital and comparing it with his own grades.

"It says here that you must get at least 'E' in the N.E.W.T. exams of Potions, Herbology, Transfiguration, Charms and Defense Against the Dark Arts. I mean... God... That's not too harsh, right?" He threw the flyer with the logo of bones and magic wands aside and rolled his eyes.

"Look at this," Seamus waved a bright pink and orange flyer in his hand, with the words "Do you think you would like to work in Muggle liaison?"

"Dealing with Muggles doesn't require many qualifications, just an O.W.L. certificate in Muggle Studies: what's more important is your enthusiasm, patience and sense of pleasure!" he said excitedly.

"But we didn't take Muggle Studies..." Ron was delighted at first, and then sighed in frustration.

"Besides, if I want to deal with my uncle, just having a sense of pleasure won't work," Harry said with a straight face: "I'm afraid I need to know when to dodge."

While the boys were discussing what careers they should choose in the future, the girls were not idle either. Lavender and Patil came to Hermione and asked her what she thought.

"Hermione, what are you going to do in the future?" The two stared at Hermione with burning eyes... the cat on their legs.

Seeing them like this, Hermione could guess their true thoughts with her knees. Didn't they just want to ask where Fish was going to work in the future?

Hermione pouted and replied, "I'm considering whether to join the Ministry of Magic. As for Fish..." She poked the cat's soft belly and asked curiously, "Fish, have you thought about what you will do after graduation?"

"Meow~"

The cat turned back into a human form, sat up straight, tilted his head and thought for a while, and said...

...

Recommendation ticket monthly ticket

I have been thinking about whether to let Harry see Snape's memory by accident like in the original book, but in the end I still think it is unnecessary.

...

Zhongyuan will find a corner to hide when he sees me holding a cat bag now, and I can't lure him out even with a cat strip...

Fortunately, after seeing the doctor today, the doctor said that Zhongyuan has basically recovered and doesn't need to be fed medicine anymore. If there is no recurrence in the next week, it should be fine.
