Chapitre 7: Chapter 7 Became An Astronomy Professor
After gaining an understanding of his own abilities, Eisen's current goal, besides entering Hogwarts, was to find a way to increase his combat experience. After all, converting theoretical abilities into true power was the best way to ensure survival.
Coincidentally, he could also join the Dueling Club at Hogwarts. Therefore, for Eisen, entering Hogwarts was a must.
After clarifying his abilities, Eisen looked at the "Miracle Trait" section again and indeed saw a new Miracle Trait listed. He clearly remembered that section being blank yesterday. But today, when he woke up, the numbers had changed after "Miracle Trait."
It seemed this Miracle Trait was indeed gained automatically each year. However, Eisen had used the previous Miracle Trait to replicate the Spell Casting Trait, so how should he use this new one?
If Miracle Traits could be used on living beings, Eisen would not hesitate to replicate the Apparition ability of house-elves and integrate it into himself.
That way, he wouldn't have to painstakingly learn the highly difficult Apparition spell. Moreover, as far as he knew, important places like Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic had Anti-Apparition jinxes, making Apparition impossible. But the Apparition of house-elves was not restricted.
If successful, Eisen's survival abilities would undoubtedly increase significantly.
But if Miracle Traits could not be used on living beings, Eisen would have to find some magical artifacts to experiment with.
At noon, after Eisen had just finished eating, he heard a "tap tap tap" sound coming from the window. Turning his head, he noticed an owl repeatedly pecking at the window.
"Finally!" Eisen muttered to himself before casting a Scouring Charm on himself. Then, with a wave of his hand and without uttering a spell, the window opened automatically.
The owl flew in, circled above Eisen's head twice, dropped a letter, and then flew off after Eisen gave it a few Knuts.
Picking up the envelope, Eisen noticed the unmistakable crest on the back - the capital H surrounded by a snake, a badger, a lion, and an eagle. Opening the envelope, a smile appeared on Eisen's face.
Correct, this was a letter from Minerva McGonagall, the Deputy Headmistress of Hogwarts, informing him of an interview opportunity for the Astronomy Professor position.
To Eisen's surprise, he had prepared for so long, expecting to apply for the Muggle Studies Professor position, but instead, it was Astronomy Professor. However, Astronomy should not be a problem for Eisen.
After all, in his previous life's memories, although Astronomy was a required course at Hogwarts, it lacked much presence. Nevertheless, Eisen was quite satisfied with this result.
His main purpose for entering Hogwarts was not to be a dedicated professor but to seize the opportunity to learn the knowledge he wanted and become stronger.
The envelope instructed Eisen to arrive promptly at the Deputy Headmistress's office via Floo Powder at 9 am on July 15th for the interview.
...
On the morning of that day at 9 am, Eisen had dressed himself in a very professional manner. In the guest room's fireplace, he threw in a pinch of Floo Powder and shouted "Deputy Headmistress's Office, Hogwarts!" Green flames engulfed his body, and he disappeared.
In the Deputy Headmistress's office, Professor McGonagall was sternly reviewing a file. As everyone knew, Professor McGonagall was the strictest of all the Hogwarts professors.
"Whoosh!"
With a flash of green light from the fireplace, a young, energetic young man stepped out.
"Are you Professor McGonagall? Hello, I'm Eisen, here for the Astronomy Professor interview." As the scenery changed, Eisen knew he had arrived at the Deputy Headmistress's office at Hogwarts. He then smiled politely, trying to appear courteous.
"Hello, Mr. Turner, please have a seat." Perhaps due to her usual teaching style, Professor McGonagall still wore an expressionless demeanor when facing Eisen. With a wave of her hand indicating Eisen to sit, a teacup on the desk quickly fell to the ground and transformed into a chair.
Without uttering a spell or using a wand, this level of Transfiguration was something Eisen could currently achieve. However, this might not represent Professor McGonagall's full capabilities. Witnessing this, Eisen nonchalantly took a seat while estimating his abilities compared to hers.
"So, could you please share your perspective on the Astronomy course?" Professor McGonagall began questioning Eisen.
"Hmm, certainly, Professor McGonagall. I believe for the young witches and wizards entering Hogwarts, Astronomy cannot make them more powerful or help them better grasp their magic..." After the interview began, Eisen directly stated his viewpoint.
"Then why should young witches and wizards take Astronomy, Mr. Turner?" Professor McGonagall's face finally showed a hint of curiosity.
"In my opinion, studying Astronomy can indeed help young witches and wizards learn Divination more easily. But there is another, more crucial point." As Professor McGonagall nodded, Eisen continued, "The more important thing is that it can teach young witches and wizards reverence!"
"Reverence?" Professor McGonagall's gaze became slightly scrutinizing.
"Yes, Professor McGonagall! You know, I lived in the Muggle world for a long time, and after thoroughly researching Muggle society, I found that most wizards consider themselves superior and look down on Muggles. Because they can use magic, they become fearless. This situation is clearly unacceptable!"
"So, studying Astronomy can teach young witches and wizards reverence?" Professor McGonagall seemed intrigued.
"Yes, that's right. I'm a wizard too, and I know magic is wondrous, a power beyond the imagination of Muggles. But it's clear we are not great, especially after deeply studying Astronomy and understanding the universe. I realized this is the truth. Therefore, I hope to become the Astronomy Professor and teach young witches and wizards what reverence is.
Understanding reverence will make them more mature. Similarly, their exploration of magic might also become more cautious. I think this mindset is very important for young witches and wizards."
Although using this as an entry point, Eisen was still not entirely sure if he could convince Professor McGonagall.
"Very well, Mr. Turner, I understand your perspective. Come with me." From Professor McGonagall's nod, it seemed Eisen had passed this part.
He then followed Professor McGonagall out of the office, walked down a long corridor, and entered the Headmaster's office. Eisen knew that Dumbledore was currently the world's most powerful good wizard, and his Transfiguration skills were beyond Eisen's current comprehension.
The office was filled with books and alchemy equipment, and the walls were adorned with portraits of past Hogwarts Headmasters. A phoenix was napping beside the desk, appearing in an unsightly turkey form that offended Eisen's perception of phoenixes.
"Ah, a young wizard, hello!" One of the portraits on the wall seemed to wake up and greet Eisen in an overly friendly, slightly exaggerated tone.
Although aware these were former Headmasters, Eisen did not know which specific one had spoken, so he merely nodded politely before turning his gaze to the old man with a long beard reaching his chest and half-moon spectacles.
"Well, Professor McGonagall, do you think Mr. Eisen Turner is suitable for the Astronomy Professor position?" Dumbledore looked at the energetic young wizard and inquired of Professor McGonagall.
"Yes, Professor Dumbledore, I find Eisen's philosophy quite excellent. He should have no issues teaching young witches and wizards." Clearly, Professor McGonagall saw no problem with Eisen's performance.
"Very well, the previous Astronomy Professor, Aurora Sinistra, has resigned." Dumbledore nodded and then turned to Eisen, "Would you be willing to teach Astronomy?"
"Yes, I would, Professor Dumbledore!" The matter seemed settled, and Eisen finally showed a pleased expression.
After leaving the Headmaster's office, Eisen finally let out a sigh of relief. From now on, besides teaching Astronomy to the young witches and wizards, he would dedicate himself to more in-depth studies.
"Congratulations, you should now be addressed as Professor Turner!" A step behind, Professor McGonagall offered Eisen her congratulations.
"Thank you, Professor McGonagall!" Eisen did not place much importance on the Astronomy Professor position.
As for teaching the young students, it would merely involve guiding them in observing planets and stars from the Astronomy Tower. If possible, he could also weave in some of his "personal interests" during the lessons.
After all, as Eisen had learned from Professor McGonagall, Astronomy only had one class per week on Wednesday evenings.
