The Legend of Harry Potter Schoolmaster

Chapter 518 The Truth About the Curse

Although Astoria seemed to be understating it from her expression, but from her voice, it could be heard that she should be quite concerned about this matter.

Jon was silent for a moment, then smiled, and replied calmly:

"Of course, I've already got that memory... But I suggest that you ignore those messy things for the next week, and it's better to focus all your attention on the O.W.Ls exam..."

Astoria nodded obediently, and after a while, she asked softly: "When the O.W.Ls exam is over, you will take me to see the complete memory of my mother, will you?"

"That's natural."

"Thank you, Jon... Then I'll go back first. Tomorrow is the exam for the Transfiguration class. I think I should go back to the common room and read the "Intermediate Transfiguration Guide" for the last time..."

"It's not advisable to hug Buddha's feet temporarily, go to bed early, and don't fall asleep in the examination room tomorrow!"

"Okay!" Astoria smiled sweetly, then turned and left.

As her figure disappeared from the principal's office, Jon opened a locked drawer on the right, looked at the silver-white glass bottle inside, and was slightly taken aback.

With a helpless smile, he closed the drawer again; with a light wave of his right hand, the drawer was automatically locked again.

...

As Astoria left, Jon Hart looked down at a few documents... and signed a few words... Then he asked Fox to deliver a letter or two for him...

Just as he was busy, a voice suddenly sounded on the portrait wall: "Is someone visiting, Jon?"

Jon couldn't help being stunned. Who will come to him at this time...Professor McGonagall? But Professor McGonagall is obviously receiving the old men and old ladies from the Wizarding Examination Authority...

"It's Professor Galatea-Meles of Defense Against the Dark Arts!" The old headmaster on the portrait continued.

"Oh!" Jon raised his voice subconsciously, and said quickly, "Let her in!"

A few minutes later, the "lively" old lady appeared in the principal's office.

"Good evening, Professor Mellors!" Headmaster Jon Hart stood up from his seat deliberately, and said hello to the old professor who had been back to Hogwarts for less than a month: "Recently, at Hogwarts, How is Gwartz doing?"

"It's great!" The old lady nodded and said, "Whether it's food or accommodation, it's much better than it was more than forty years ago... If it weren't for this old bone, I might not be able to bear it. I really want to stay here." Bian will stay for a year and a half..."

"It's an honor for Hogwarts." Jon replied with a smile.

While talking, he made a cup of black tea, broke it, and handed it to the witch in front of him.

"Oh, you're too polite!" Professor Meles said politely, and at the same time lowered his head and took a sip, and said with emotion: "The high-quality Ceylon black tea...Thank you very much...I haven't tasted it for many years... ..."

The old and the young sat down facing the principal's desk like this.

"Thank you for your contribution to Hogwarts this month... It is not easy to find a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts who is comparable to you." Jon also complimented him while drinking tea.

Professor Mellors was not modest either: "To be honest, the quality of education at Hogwarts in recent years has been much worse than in previous years...at least in terms of Defense Against the Dark Arts, I suspect that in forty years Before, now 90% of the students in my school can only get between Acceptable (A) and Dreadful (D) in this course."

"It's true." Jon did not refute: "The students in recent years have to change their Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers once a year, and the level of teachers is also uneven, so it is naturally difficult for them to learn anything. ..."

"Speaking of which, when I first returned to Hogwarts, you asked me about the matter..." Professor Mellors began to speak slowly: "I have a little idea recently."

The matter that Jon asked Professor Mellorth, of course——

Forty years ago, when the old professor retired from Hogwarts last time, Voldemort, who was still young at the time, had returned to Hogwarts, hoping to apply for the position of "Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts", but was rejected The headmaster at the time, Albus Dumbledore, rejected it... Voldemort, who held a grudge, cursed the position of "Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts", so that every subsequent professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts could not work in Huo Gwartz worked for a year...

Although he had already guessed the purpose of the old lady's sudden visit, Jon still couldn't contain his inner excitement——

"Please give me some pointers..."

...

"It's not about advice." Professor Galatea-Meles' voice gradually became serious: "As you mentioned before, Principal Hart... I am indeed the best person to handle this matter I wonder if you have any research on the magic of curses?"

"I can only understand a little bit." Jon replied: "Generally speaking, a curse needs to have a clear target... For example, to tease your friends and confuse your enemies: use hair loss, broken legs, tied tongue and Many other methods..."

"That's right..." Professor Mellors nodded: "This is the most inconceivable part of the Mysterious Man's curse...Because the goal of 'Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts' is not clear. The target... The mysterious person can't predict, who will be the specific professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts in the future..."

Jon didn't speak, just listened quietly there——

"So, he is worthy of being one of the most talented students who graduated from Hogwarts..." Professor Mellors said thoughtfully, "I also fell into a misunderstanding at the beginning, until I finally changed my mind. ...If the object of the mysterious man's curse is not the future Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, but..."

Jon's face changed suddenly, but before he could speak, Professor Mellors had already said:

"The object of the mysterious man's curse... is actually me...Galatea-Meles!"

"He cursed you for never retiring from the position of professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts, did he?" Jon asked calmly, "Because you didn't retire from your position, every subsequent No Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts professor will be recognized by Hogwarts..."

"That's right, Principal Hart... Your reaction speed is really surprising." Professor Mellors agreed, "I'm afraid you also guessed some relevant information before, so you asked me to come to Hogwarts again?"

"It's just a blind cat hitting a dead mouse." Jon shook his head with a smile.

Then, he continued to ask: "So, do you have a solution?"
