The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

Snape stood where he was, staring at Link.

His expression was a little complicated.

Because he was surprised to find that Link's gradually receding back had become somewhat unfamiliar to him.

Link, is no longer the kid who used to be a little smart.

No longer the poor patient who was so weak that one could not help but feel pity.

Judging from Link's previous behavior, he has now become an existence that can use equal strength and identity to deal with him, and even with Dumbledore.

He has become a qualified heir of an ancient pure-blood family.

For the sake of his family and his own interests, Snape felt that Link could now use any means of intrigue to embrace the darkness.

Snape didn't know whether the change was good or bad, he was just sorry for the loss of the once lovely child.

Sighing lightly, Snape finally walked towards the headmaster's office.

After all, there is still work to be done.

And he was also going to have a good talk with Dumbledore, and see if he could pull him back when Link fell into the abyss.

At the same time, Link did not engage in any conspiracy or evil plan as Snape had guessed.

He rushed to the greenhouse outside the main body of Hogwarts Castle like an ordinary student.

Even, he was late because of the delay in Snape's time.

"Sorry, Professor Sprout."

Looking at the students and professors in the greenhouse who were already wearing various protective gear and preparing for the official class, Link scratched his head embarrassedly.

Professor Sprout has never been a strict person, not to mention that Link, as a student of her Hufflepuff Academy, just won a huge honor for the Academy yesterday.

Therefore, not only was she not angry, she even held a glass of green vegetable juice in Link's hand in distress and said:

"Link, you must have been tired yesterday, right? It's okay, just drink this, it will make you feel better."

Although Link knew that Professor Sprout was never a good cook, the bubbly glass of vegetable juice in front of him probably wouldn't taste good either.

But in order not to let Professor Sprout continue to nag, he still refrained from drinking it, and gave Sprout a sunny smile when he was done.

"Good boy! Hurry up and put on your protective gear to class!"

Professor Sprout said happily, touching Link's hair as he spoke.

This made Link very relieved.

Today, Professor Sprout taught everyone to learn the planting and picking of dragon scale grass.

The leaves are shaped like scales, and can be used as the main medicinal material for many kinds of magical medicines. The important medicinal material that requires a lot of dragon dung to cultivate is a compulsory question for the l exam.

About this, Professor Sprout has repeatedly mentioned it countless times.

In fact, she didn't do anything else at all this semester.

Every class is staring at the students to learn those 'must-test questions'. Today, Professor Sprout has roughly taught Link and others, and now he is simply reviewing and stabilizing.

This kind of high-intensity, high-repetition, and uninteresting teaching is actually quite torturous.

Hufflepuff can already be said to be the most interested and favored student in herbal medicine class.

But even Hufflepuff's favorite herbalists were disgusted by Professor Sprout's teaching method.

But no way.

In order for the students to get a good grade on the exam, Professor Sprout would not listen to anyone's advice at all.

The scariest part is that not only Sprout, but all the professors of other subjects are doing this kind of rote cramming.

The huge amount of homework that this brings makes all students complain.

It was not until the end of get out of class that the students in the greenhouse, who had long been unlovable, regained some vitality one by one.

Although there are still classes in the afternoon, at least they can relax during the lunch break.

Perhaps it would be a good choice to continue listening to Ron's story about the bottom of the Black Lake.

What is surprising, however, is that Professor Sprout, who would never be detained in class in the past, stopped everyone this time.

She slowly took off her dragon leather gloves and gas mask, revealing a serious and unusual expression inside and said to everyone:

"I have important news to inform you."

She scanned the crowd slowly, and continued until everyone was quiet,

"According to the practice of Hogwarts, in order to allow you to meet the l exam with a better attitude, it is also to allow you to have a brighter and clearer future. Therefore, we will launch a week-long "Employment" in a few days. Consultation activity.

During the event, all fifth-year students are required to interview with their college about future employment.

This is quite an important event. So I hope that after you go back, you can think about what you want to do in the future, which will also facilitate our subsequent interviews.

Well, that's the way it is, let's go to dinner, kids. "

After speaking, the already hungry students rushed to the auditorium cheering, most of them didn't understand the meaning of Professor Sprout talking to them so solemnly, and their minds were full of dry meals.

And Professor Sprout was not angry, she just stood quietly in the greenhouse, watching everyone leave.

"Link, what are you going to do after graduation?"

John was obviously one of the above-mentioned cooks. He grinned and put his arms around Link's neck and said in a joking tone.

As soon as this statement came out, Cedric and others around him all cast strange and complicated glances at him. Even Link was silent and looked at him with a half-smile.

It took a long time for John to finally understand, and he tapped his head hard and said:

"Oh! I'm so stupid! You don't need to look for a job, just go back and inherit the family! Damn, I really envy you."

After saying that, he hugged Link's neck and shook it twice in revenge.

Link wasn't angry either, smiled and broke away from John's embrace and said:

"What about you, what do you want to do after graduation?"

"Auror or a professional Quidditch player!" John stared earnestly. "I've already thought about it. There are only two careers I like and have a future in. For myself, and for Lillian, I Will do my best to move in both directions!"

Hearing this, Link and Cedric were all taken aback.

They really did not expect that John, who usually behaves so recklessly, has already determined his ambition.

After reacting, Link nodded in satisfaction and relief.

In his opinion, this is where his little story about woodcutter and shepherd some time ago really worked.

And Cedric sighed at the moment, and said to John with a complicated expression:

"It's great, Aurors and professional Quidditch players. I was planning to develop in those two areas, but unfortunately, my father didn't think that was a good way out, and planned to put me in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement."

Hearing that, Link nodded. In fact, in his opinion, with Cedric's ability, he can perform very well no matter what job he is engaged in.

Of course, the Department of Magical Law Enforcement is definitely one of the best options. It is almost a training base for politicians. Not only is the treatment good, but it can also train people.

Link vaguely remembered that the ancestors of the Diggory family seemed to have been ministers of the Ministry of Magic. Judging from the current situation, Mr. Diggory seemed to want Cedric to restore the family's former glory.

On the other hand, John's focus is more unique.

His eyes lit up and he asked directly:

"Why do you say that professional Quidditch players and Aurors are not a good way out?"

"I asked my father this question too." Cedric smiled. "First of all, let's talk about professional Quidditch players. The structure of this industry is actually very deformed, and the threshold is very high. Generally speaking, only those who are in the student Only players who showed superhuman talent during this period were selected by scouts and had the opportunity to embark on a career path. However, the competition in professional Quidditch games is extremely fierce, and there are too many talented players in it. Even a newcomer can become a professional player. Professional players can only hang around with the most basic contract salary, and it is extremely difficult to get ahead. Those who are unlucky will even be terminated and fired.

The situation for the Aurors was even more difficult.

As the top combat power of the Ministry of Magic, although they will recruit new people from Hogwarts every year, they will only want the best ones. And this so-called excellent standard, at worst, it has to have excellent net results. After being recruited, you also need to go through a long period of rigorous training, and those who finally complete all subject training can officially become Aurors. And Aurors, as a unit directly under the Ministry of Magic, have a particularly high casualty rate. You can see the specific performance by looking at Moody. To be honest, an Auror like Moody's who survives and retires is considered lucky. "

Cedric's remarks directly stunned John.

He stood there, even forgetting to cook, and just stared at Cedric blankly.

Seeing this, Cedric chuckled lightly:

"How about it, do you still plan to develop in these two areas now?"

As soon as he said this, John finally recovered his senses. His eyes were a little dodgy, and he didn't dare to look at Cedric. After a while, big sweats poured out of his forehead.

But after a brief hesitation, he still raised his head with difficulty and said firmly to Cedric and Link:

"I'm still going to give it a try! After all, I still have time!"

"well said!"

Cedric roared immediately.

He was genuinely happy for John, so happy that he punched John directly.

John, who was hit so hard, couldn't hold back, he laughed, and then returned Cedric.

Then, the flames of war naturally spread to Link.

The three of them quarreled in an instant, laughing and following the army of cooks to the auditorium.

It's just that when they officially arrived in the auditorium, they stopped in unison, and John even tidied up the messy clothes on his body a little unnaturally.

For no other reason, Emily was sitting in the spacious corner and staring at them.

Even now because of Link's relationship, there is an unexpected harmony between Hufflepuff and Slytherin, but the psychological shadow that Emily has caused to the Hufflepuffs in the past few years has not subsided in the slightest.

"Link, let's go first!"

Cedric was still calm, and after saying hello to Link, he took John back to Hufflepuff's work.

Link could only sigh and sit beside Emily.

This is the area that belongs to Slytherin.

Everyone was very excited that Link could come to their side and wanted to have lunch. Some of the Slytherin girls in their costumes even started to get close to Link involuntarily, but it was a pity that Amy was still caught in the end. Rei's cold eyes glared back.

"Have you sent Aunt Leoni's letter?"

Emily, who turned her head to face Link, returned to her gentle appearance. She carefully pushed a plate of sliced ​​steak in front of Link and said softly.

"Of course, mother, she's happy."

As Link said that, he inserted a piece of steak into his mouth and began to chew.

This steak is three mature.

This made Link frown slightly.

To be honest, the cooking level of this steak is quite good, and the quality of the ingredients is also above the qualified line.

It's a pity that Link doesn't like to eat this kind of undercooked food, whether it's steak or sushi, he doesn't like it.

Fortunately, Link's requirements for food were not so demanding, so even if he didn't like it, he still didn't stop eating.

Emily, who saw all this in her eyes, sighed, and put a pot of stewed fish in front of Link again and said:

"Forget it, eat this."

Link didn't refuse either, he brought it over and started eating.

It was not until he was half full that he temporarily put down the knife and fork in his hand, and said to Emily who had already finished eating:

"Next weekend, shall we go to Hogsmeade Village?"

"Huh? Why did you suddenly remember going there?"

Emily bowed her head a little embarrassedly and said in a humming voice.

She really didn't want to go to Hogsmeade, especially with Link.

After all, what happened in the teahouse before was too exciting, and Emily was a little afraid that she would not be able to control it.

Just Link's next sentence made her change her mind immediately.

"Because mother is going to visit us."

"Really!?"

Hearing this, Emily jumped up instantly, and said excitedly as if she had changed her mind, "Did she think that your performance yesterday was really great, so she wants to come over and praise you in person?"

"Yeah yeah."

"Oh yeah! That's great!" Emily became more excited. "Then I'll get back to getting ready! Let me think about what to give Aunt Leonie? And what should I do that day? What perfume do I wear? My clothes or something..."

Looking at Emily who had fallen into fantasy and chattering endlessly, the smile on Link's face was a bit bitter.

Because he knew very well that Mrs. Foley came to Hogsmeade Village to meet them this time, purely to ask Lin Kexing to ask her guilt.
