Chapter 274 Interview: The Main Point Is Sincerity

"This is the first time I've heard of this kind of spell." Dumbledore asked with interest, "Where did you learn it from?"

"I figured it out myself."

Hufflepuff's response made Dumbledore narrow his eyes: a wizard who could research this level of spell on his own was definitely not an unknown person, but he had never heard of "Smith White" before.

Dumbledore was a little suspicious of this mysterious Ms. White, because he happened to know that there was such a mysterious hidden organization that trained many powerful wizards.

Could Ms. White be a spy of the Secret Society? Such a thought flashed through Dumbledore's mind. Judging from the name, Ms. White was most likely British or from North America, so it was even more wrong that he had never heard of her name.

If this person was from Africa or some corner of Eastern Europe or Western Asia, it would be understandable that Dumbledore, who had lived in the UK for most of his life, had never heard of her name, but in this situation...

Dumbledore was inclined to believe that Ms. White had used a pseudonym, and he decided to further test her background.

"Which magic school did you graduate from?"

Faced with this question, Hufflepuff didn't know how to answer him for a moment.

She actually had never been to a magic school. Her spells were either inherited from her family, taught by friends, or exchanged from other wizards. She was completely self-taught - the other three founders were basically the same as her.

If she had been given a few days to prepare, she might have been able to make up a reasonable background, but Dumbledore's request for an immediate interview disrupted her deployment.

She didn't even know which famous magic schools were in the world now!

"I learned it by myself. My elders taught me some spells, and I also learned some spells from the books left by ancient wizards." Hufflepuff decided to tell the truth, and the main point was sincerity.

Dumbledore: ...

He didn't know how to respond for a moment, because White's statement was too ridiculous. If a wizard of her level could teach herself, then all magic schools should just close down.

"Where are you from?" Dumbledore decided to continue asking to see if the person in front of him could give a more outrageous answer.

"Wales."

The two fell into a long silence, and Dumbledore began to pick up desserts one by one with a fork and put them into his mouth one by one.

He now felt that the probability that the lady in front of him was a spy of the Secret Society was terribly low. If she was really a spy, it could only be said that the Secret Society wanted to insult his IQ.

There were too many flaws! So many that Dumbledore thought that what Ms. White said might be true.

He looked up at Ms. White, and Dumbledore saw sincerity in her eyes. She seemed to be telling the truth.

Dumbledore also decided to be honest and throw out his inner doubts - this interview, from the interviewer to the interviewer, is all about honesty.

But before he could speak, Hufflepuff began to make excuses for himself.

"I can't actually be considered a person of this era. I was exploring a ruin before... and then something magical happened, and I was brought to this era by this kid." Helga pointed at Rice.

Although he was very unhappy with Helga's adjectives for him, Rice still smiled and perjured for Hufflepuff, and was secretly shocked: Helga was too sincere, she really dared to say anything!

Dumbledore raised his eyebrows: the experience of the person in front of him was getting more and more magical.

Many things, because they sound too unreal, seem very real. Because the stories made up must be reasonable, but the stories that really happened do not need to be reasonable.

"Can you tell me in detail to satisfy the curiosity of this old man?" Dumbledore adjusted his half-moon glasses, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"Of course." Then Hufflepuff told Dumbledore exactly what happened to him before. Except for hiding his name, the rest of the content was exactly the same as the real situation.

After listening to White's story, Dumbledore suddenly felt that this seemed quite reasonable? He did not find any flaws in the story, nor did he find any signs of lying from her. If we look at it from the perspective of time travel, the mysteries of Ms. White also have a reasonable explanation.

Is the witch in front of me really from hundreds of years ago? Magic is really amazing.

Although it sounds like a story, Dumbledore does believe what Helga said about her origin.

Then there is only one question: which position should he assign her?

After listening to Hufflepuff's bizarre and tortuous life experience, Dumbledore has made up his mind to hire this magical witch.

He is just struggling with which subject Smith White should teach. Judging from her identity, it seems that she can teach History of Magic, but this course is already taught by Professor Binns, and Dumbledore is unwilling to make a replacement.

Judging from the vacant positions in the school, since there is no suitable teacher, students' interest is also low. Alchemy, which has been closed for a long time, seems to be suitable for her to teach. She can also choose between the two positions of Care of Magical Creatures and Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Unlike Rice's expectation, this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts may really change the professor! The reason is that Professor Kettleburn, who has been teaching Care of Magical Creatures, has retired, and the position of Care of Magical Creatures is vacant. Lupin, the current professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, is very interested in this subject and wants to switch to teach Care of Magical Creatures - this situation is quite common in Hogwarts. The previous Professor Quirrell switched from Muggle Studies to Defense Against the Dark Arts.

The specific arrangement depends on White's ability and the wishes of other professors. If it doesn't work, Dumbledore can even open a new course to teach everyone cooking magic! Cooking magic is one of the most important branches of magic in the magic world and is deeply loved by witches. Opening such a course will definitely be popular.

However, if I decide to offer subjects like alchemy and cooking, I will definitely communicate with the Ministry of Magic and ask them to cooperate in adding this course to the O.W.L and N.E.W.T exams so that students can get certificates.

After informing Smith White of the positions he could offer, Dumbledore crossed his hands and wanted to hear Ms. White's own ideas.

"I can teach all these courses - alchemy, defense against the dark arts, care of magical creatures and cooking, I can do it all." Hufflepuff told Dumbledore that she was an all-round wizard.

"I can't afford such a high salary." Dumbledore responded jokingly, "How about showing me the magic you master first?"

Of course, Hufflepuff has no objection.
