Professor McGonagall's words totally shocked Sherlock.

He never expected that the position of professor of the Black Magic Defense Class would really fall on him.

Let’s not talk about whether there are any candidates for this year’s professor position.

Even if it is really not confirmed, with the original owner's personality like the problematic child, it is impossible for him to choose him!

He was full of problems, and he was able to teach good students like this?

Sherlock's shock did not make Professor McGonagall notice the abnormality.

Instead, she thought that Sherlock should have such an expression.

After all, he has applied for this position for three years, and Dumbledore has never agreed to him.

Even if he went to Hogwarts again three months ago, he didn't get a satisfactory result.

And this time I suddenly got him the letter of appointment. If he was not surprised, it would be strange.

"I know you're incredible about it," Professor McGonagall explained to him. "Three months ago, when you heard that Kilowe had an accident this year and went to Dumbledore to apply for a position, Dumbledore did have a new professor of defense, and the other party had agreed."

Sherlock stared at Professor McGonagall without blinking, asking tentatively.

"So is there an accident in the defense professor who has been confirmed in the new semester this year?"

Professor McGonagall nodded and explained.

"Yes, it turns out that the professor of defense class was Gidro Lohart."

"A month ago, he was proven to be a liar, using the forgetting spell to steal the experiences of other wizard adventurers, lied to be his own stories, wrote them into biographies to make a profit, and became a star writer in the magic world."

"But not long ago, a victim exposes his disguise. He is now controlled by the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic. In two days, Wizard Court Wisengamor will hold a trial meeting on him."

"Although the official results have not yet been released, the evidence is enough to prove that he will spend his future career in Azkaban."

"There is less than two months left before the start of the new semester. In this case, Dumbledore believes that only you can do the current position."

Even though Professor McGonagall said it very tactfully, Sherlock is not the problematic child he used to be.

Of course he could hear from this euphemism that Dumbledore's decision to serve as a professor of defense in the new semester was completely helpless.

Because school is about to start, and the professor who was confirmed to have been arrested before, can you not fail to attend the class?

So he could only choose among the few people, among the short ones, and chose Sherlock, who had long been interested in this position.

After all, although the original owner has flaws in his personality, his magic knowledge is indeed solid.

Otherwise, I would not have been easily admitted to the Auror Command, the department with the strictest admission conditions in the Ministry of Magic.

But this made Sherlock who had just crossed over confused.

Not to mention that he doesn't even know half of magic, just because he is basically impossible to teach students in his current situation.

Just the position of professor of the Black Magic Defense Class has a big problem.

Is that a normal person dares to take up a professor position?

Even Sherlock, a novice who has never read the original work or the movie, knows that seven defense professors have been replaced in seven books. Those who step down either die or are disabled, or are either ruined.

But if you refuse, what reason should you use?

The original owner's eagerness to return to Hogwarts' teaching attitude, and his performance of harassing Dumbledore every year has completely blocked his back.

Sherlock really can't find an excuse to reject this letter of employment now.

Professor McGonagall did not think that Sherlock had any intention of rejecting the position. She directly handed the appointment letter and a ticket to him, and then reminded him.

"You should now decide as soon as possible the textbook you need to use in class. You must send me the book list through the owl before August. If you plan to take the Hogwarts Express to school, you can get on the train with this ticket on the start of school."

After saying these words, Professor McGonagall got up and pulled out his wand at the same time.

Before leaving, she said to Sherlock with a smile.

"May Sally bless you, Sherlock, Hogwarts, goodbye."

As soon as she finished speaking, she disappeared into the living room.

After she left, Sherlock silently stared at the letter of appointment in his hand, with the words "The Black Magic Defense Class" professor on it so conspicuous.

After a long time, three words slowly popped out of his mouth.

"Wang Defa!"

......

Hogwarts, during the summer vacation, the students had already left this ancient castle, making the usually noisy corridor look deserted.

Professor McGonagall, who had just returned to school, walked straight into Dumbledore's principal's office.

Dumbledore, who was gray-bearded and wearing dark blue pajamas, was lying at the table, processing the official documents.

After seeing Professor McGonagall come in, he raised his body and took off his crescent-shaped glasses with some fatigue.

"Have Forrest received the letter of appointment?"

"I handed it to him in person." Speaking of this, Professor McGonagall was a little reluctant to speak, as if he had something to say.

Dumbledore saw her thoughts and said with a smile.

"Don't worry about Minerva, you can make any good suggestions to me."

"Do you really think Sherlock is suitable for the position of professor?" Professor McGonagall frowned slightly.

Because she had something to do with Sherlock's mother, she was indeed happy that he could fulfill his ideals and came to Hogwarts as a professor.

But to be honest, with Sherlock's personality of being a big problem, it is irresponsible to the students when he comes to a school like Hogwarts.

Dumbledore said calmly.

"He always wants to realize that he is no longer the unaccompanied and lonely child. The recognition he needs never comes from me, but himself."

"Teaching students with their own knowledge, seeing their efforts and gaining their gratitude will make them understand this faster."

"Besides, his defensive magic level is indeed stronger than many wizards, right?"

He stood up from the chair and walked with his hands behind his back to the wall full of portraits of the headmaster Ren.

I don't know if it was to the principals who were humming softly, or to Professor McGonagall, Dumbledore said softly.
Chapter completed!
