From Azkaban To Hogwarts

"well…"

Another sigh came from Fudge's office.

Everyone could tell that the minister was not in a good mood today, but no one dared to say it out loud.

Because everyone knows what Secretary Fudge is worried about - but can this topic be mentioned openly? Isn't this a slap in the minister's face?

The Auror office on the other side of the ocean rebelled, and the principal of the magic school became president of the Magical Congress - if it happens there, it can happen here. But can this be compared or separated?

Fortunately, there is no shortage of people in the Ministry of Magic. After thinking hard for half an hour, the assistant finally found a way to deal with the minister's troubles.

"What, recruitment?"

Fudge looked at his assistant and raised his head from his desk, "What time is it, you want to recruit?"

"It's too late for us to deal with international relations now. Albus is even busy visiting friends and corresponding with me at the same time. Everyone is busy with various matters in the magical world. You want me to go to Hogwarts to recruit?"

If this assistant hadn't been so considerate, he would have even wanted to expel the assistant - now that the entire magical society is in turmoil, this person actually asked to go to Hogwarts for recruitment?

"It's because you're in a panic right now, so you have to show a calm and composed image among the people," the assistant told a lie that he didn't quite believe, but he didn't intend to rely on this to convince Fudge, "It can't be a blow. As a result, the public feels that we lack confidence, so I personally suggest that we recruit a group of chefs and expand the canteen in the ministry."

Fudge almost became angry at this funny statement - when did the Ministry of Magic's cafeteria expand?

Believe it or not, he can be sprayed to death by the people.

The front is tight and the rear is tight. Such a big thing has happened in the magical society. Is their Ministry of Magic expanding the cafeteria? What kind of international joke are you kidding? If the news is exposed by the media in other places, will his image be destroyed?

"That's what I think about it, Minister. Dining in our ministry has never been very stable. Some go to nearby small restaurants, some go to Muggle restaurants, and some simply go home to eat - although the ministry has a canteen. , but firstly, the area is not big enough, and secondly, the taste is just like that, so..."

If you want to eat well, you won't go to restaurants outside? The canteen of the Ministry of Magic tastes bad - isn't that a natural thing? Recruitment is not a test of chef skills...

etc?

Fudge suddenly realized what his assistant meant.

So he didn't interrupt, but let his assistant continue.

"You see, eating out is really a waste of too much time. If everyone eats in the ministry instead, it will naturally improve everyone's work efficiency... and the delicious food will really make everyone happy. Enthusiasm is high... Also, I think if you can have regular meals with the people in the ministry, everyone's morale will definitely improve."

Yes, Fudge completely understood what his assistant meant.

The last attack on the Ministry of Magic was because there were not enough manpower left behind in the Ministry. If everyone stayed in the Ministry for lunch, not only did they all stay in the Ministry to do something, but even if they left some of them and left some, the security of the Ministry would be high. A lot.

Secondly, if the ministry provides enough good meals, it is also a welfare for employees - not to mention how moved everyone will be and how long it will last, just surviving this period is a victory, and it is always right to provide benefits.

Third, if you eat with Ministry of Magic staff in the cafeteria, they will naturally get to know you better. This is also a way to increase the motivation of employees - or in other words, a way to increase the difficulty of their coup.

"Um…"

He pretended to hesitate for a moment, "What you said makes sense. Why don't you go to Hogwarts to recruit a new chef this week..."

This is a good job - it is a kind of praise for the excellent performance of his assistant.

It's good to be able to think of such a feasible method in difficult times. As for the public's opinions - Aurors' non-rebellion has a higher priority.

"This can't be done, Minister, you have to go in person." The assistant shook his head quickly, as if he had drunk some strange potion. "If I go, I will probably make enemies with the Aurors." , the new canteen must be delicious!”

Fudge was stunned for a moment - he almost forgot that if he hadn't personally checked the food, he would have known what kind of food the chef would have produced this time. Some people couldn't even tell the difference between salt and sugar before joining the job...

"Okay, but we can't just recruit chefs. It would be too unpleasant to spread the news. Go and inform the logistics department to see how many more places we can recruit this time. Let's do it together and make a comprehensive recruitment in a decent way. .”

"Yes, Minister!"

The assistant who had already calculated that it would be changed to full recruitment nodded, then closed the door and quickly ran towards the logistics office on the same floor - he didn't know how many people would be crammed this time, but he estimated that the cafeteria could be decent. of.

"recruitment?"

William, who had just finished class, was called to the office by a child sent by Professor McGonagall, "Or is the minister coming in person?"

He looked at Professor McGonagall curiously and murmured in his mind.

In the past, Fudge came to see Dumbledore, but now Dumbledore is not here - could it be that in order to appease Fudge's military morale, Professor McGonagall had discussed with Dumbledore and prepared to take over the position of Headmaster? Too busy cleaning up the school house, so he lost his routine of threatening the Minister of Magic?

That's not impossible - after Professor McGonagall takes over, the pressure on Fudge will definitely be reduced, and there won't be much chaos in the school.

Although it seems a bit random, if you think about it carefully, it can be an effective solution to alleviate conflicts...

‘Maybe we can even confuse the Dark Lord on the other side of the ocean! ’

Thinking of this, William even secretly applauded this plan - but it was not very perfect, because the principal in Ilvermorny seemed to have been changed first and then the principal was appointed...

But the problem is not big and can always be solved...

Professor McGonagall obviously didn't expect that the director of the Self-Defense Office had already arranged so many scenes in his mind, "Anyway, in order to alleviate the employment pressure this year, the Ministry decided to increase the number of students recruited by the Ministry of Magic to reduce the unemployment rate of new students, so We need to cooperate better with this recruitment..."

‘Is this really recruitment? ’

Seeing that Professor McGonagall didn't look like he had other plans, William had no choice but to stop imagining where Dumbledore would go after he lost his job.

"We will strictly inspect the people who come to the school to ensure that everything is carried out safely and orderly - but, if possible, I hope to increase the manpower to look after the twins. They are about to graduate!"

William talked about the seemingly outrageous topic in a very serious tone. However, after Professor McGonagall thought for a moment, he immediately approved William's request.

"Okay, this matter is very necessary. If you need anyone, go discuss it with him in advance and I will arrange the class adjustment."

"That's not necessary, Professor McGonagall," William shook his head decisively, "If possible, I hope Mr. Arthur can be responsible for part of the recruitment task..."

After learning about the number of people recruited by the Ministry of Magic at this job fair, William decided to use the biggest weapon - there were too many students recruited this time, so he absolutely could not let this recruitment be in danger.

"Arthur?"

Professor McGonagall immediately thought of who Arthur William was referring to, and a smile appeared on her lips.

This was indeed a very safe supervisor. Considering safety, she thought it would be okay to mention it when discussing with Fudge...

——

"recruitment?"

"Yes, Minister Fudge has decided to upgrade our office, and two young people need to be filled."

During the Weasley family's dinner, Mr. Arthur spoke proudly to his wife.

"Wow, honey, you're amazing."

"I said it before - we are here to protect the stability of the magical world. The more chaotic it is, the more we must prevent the abuse of magic, especially when it comes to Muggle items. We must be even more careful."

"In addition, I personally recruited the new interns. This time I must recruit two interns who are interested in this. The two people in the office are really too busy..."

"Aren't you going to sell face to others?"

"Think about it for a while, but I still have to follow my preferences - besides, there are so many places to recruit this time!"

"Yeah," Mrs. Weasley nodded, "As long as you promise not to bring them to our garage to do those messy renovations."

"Haha... Jasmine, what are you talking about..."

Beads of sweat appeared on Mr. Weasley's forehead. "In addition, there are many people recruited this time. We have to write to Fred and George about their future arrangements."

He usually respects his children's career choices, and he still supports the two's plan to open a store - but the current situation is special...

——

"recruitment!"

"There is a huge job fair. It is said to be the biggest in recent years. The Ministry of Magic needs to recruit a lot of manpower!"

The newly issued notice attracted the attention of a lot of seventh graders. They only had the last big test left, and the test was not that difficult, so naturally they were more concerned about recruitment.

Except for those students who have determined their future career path early, others are not very disgusted with the work of the Ministry of Magic - otherwise the Ministry of Magic would not claim that more than half of them cannot even cast the Iron Armor Curse.

In the past, there were only a few people recruited, and there were many people with means. Except for the best students, no one dared to consider this position. This year, the number of people recruited was suddenly increased, and naturally there were some people who were eager to give it a try - it doesn't matter if you give it a try. Where is one?

As a result, William saw a rare situation in his office for the first time.

"Professor, can you provide me with a copy of the Ministry of Magic recruitment paper?"

This magical request directly frightened William - do these students think he is a fountain of good luck, and they will get whatever they ask for?

He has eaten free meals from the Ministry of Magic. Recruitment? When he came to Hogwarts to apply for a job, he was specially recruited by Azkaban - besides, the Ministry of Magic has never used any test questions in the past. Except for those straight-A students and a few prefects, how did the rest of them get in? Do you need him to analyze it?

It's not that he wants to complain about the Ministry of Magic, but according to the Ministry of Magic's practice of recruiting interns in recent years, an essay such as "My Uncle Minister" can almost guarantee a 100% success rate. What can be taught about this thing? ?

"Don't focus on those departments that recruit too few people, don't focus on those departments that have development prospects at first glance, and avoid those positions where the work is not very hard - if you are a prefect, please ignore the previous conditions ”

He could only wag his fingers and said the above words with a bit of a smile, "Okay, we are all students in the same school. I can't be biased. If we teach them all once, there is no difference between not teaching them at all - okay, I hope everyone will work hard and study the recruitment needs carefully. The ministry will notify the school two days before the recruitment, and I guarantee that you will get the news as soon as possible."

——

"Are you kidding me?"

Although there was competition among the same students, William still got the recruitment request immediately.

But this thing just highlights an outrageous thing - recruiting a large number of students who are good at cooking?

Do you really think he doesn't know the level of the Ministry of Magic?

Moody has complained a long time ago - the canteen of the Ministry of Magic cannot even handle the banquet tasks of the Ministry, and has to be "outsourced" in large quantities every time...

To be precise, it was made by temporarily hiring chefs from several excellent restaurants to work in shifts.

So why not recruit a group of good chefs?

The salary is relatively low and the lack of freedom is on the one hand, and the quota is limited on the other. The most important thing is that you can't spend too many bills. Anyway, I don't know which minister has this understanding. Anyway, it has been passed down.

And the people being recruited are not chefs - they are officially called staff of the Logistics Office of the Ministry of Magic. They just require good cooking skills.

‘What’s going on, the front is tight and the rear is tight? Aren't you afraid of being exposed by the public and scolded to death? ’

He shook his head, really not knowing what this operation meant.

But it didn't matter - he wasn't the one who got scolded, and there were quite a few chefs in Hogwarts who were good at cooking.

This recruitment will probably make the Hufflepuff students happy - I dare not say that all those who are good at cooking are in Hufflepuff, but there is no problem at all if more than 70% of them are there.

'Only one last question remains - how did this happen? Are they reserved exclusively for related households, or do we really need to recruit them? ’

He was really curious - because no matter which one it was, it was outrageous.

‘No matter what, we’ll talk about it when the time comes. Let’s take a look first. ’

——

"recruitment?"

The Dark Lord looked at the information in his hand and almost thought Bertha had made a mistake again...

Just when he was extremely confused, he realized that the person who came to report the information was not Bertha, but another loyal Death Eater, Bellatrix, who volunteered to take over the information.

"We have made such a big noise, and now you are telling me that Barty Jr. has not been contacted yet, but in the UK, Dumbledore and the Minister of Magic named Fudge are actually conducting a large-scale recruitment campaign? "

"Moreover," the Dark Lord's scarlet eyes stared at the recruitment needs, "we have the American Wizarding World here, and they are recruiting chefs?"

"Master, master I..."

Bella lowered her head in shame - now she also suspected, had she been deceived and received false information?

"Forget it," the Dark Lord sighed, "I'll give you another chance. I want you to keep an eye on Hogwarts. I want exact information!"
