After all, he didn't know the location of the sixty Dementors, and no one would tell him, so even if he wanted to help, he couldn't.

But just as he opened the door and was about to go out, Dumbledore's voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Wait a moment."

"Is there anything else, Principal?" Kyle asked.

Dumbledore had a strange expression on his face, and he opened his mouth as if he was about to say something, but finally shook his head, "No, not really... I just wanted to say that I might be out for a while starting tomorrow.

"Oh, I'll take Fox too."

At this point, Dumbledore was suddenly stunned. In fact, he didn't understand why he added this sentence... Maybe he was worried that Kyle would find another excuse to borrow the phoenix, so he subconsciously wanted to refuse first.

However, Dumbledore did not pause for too long and quickly continued, "If you need to find me urgently, go to the Hog's Head Inn in Hogsmeade. I know you have a way to sneak there."

"Just to get rid of the Dementors?" Kyle asked curiously.

There are only more than sixty Dementors in total, so it won't take Dumbledore too much time.

Moreover, ever since the news of Voldemort's comeback was made public, the people in the castle have been in panic. Thanks to Dumbledore's presence, the situation has gradually calmed down.

His absence from school now, especially for a long period of time, will more or less cause some negative impact in the school.

"It's not entirely because of the Dementors." Dumbledore said, "I still need to meet someone. Perhaps one of his memories can provide us with a crucial clue?"

"Who?" Kyle asked casually, not expecting an answer.

But Dumbledore did not intend to hide it and said immediately: "Bob Ogden."

Kyle thought about it, and when he realized he didn't know him, he didn't take it seriously and just thought he was a hidden member of the Order of the Phoenix.

After all, there are so many people in the Order of the Phoenix that Kyle can't possibly remember every one of them. Just like Sturgis, even if he were standing here right now, Kyle might not be able to recognize him.

"Good luck with that, Professor."

"Same to you."

After coming out of the principal's office, Kyle walked all the way to the common room. When he was walking through the entrance hall, he suddenly noticed a large group of people gathered in front of the bulletin board.

Strange, what announcement is there at this time...

Out of curiosity, Kyle walked over subconsciously.

"Oh, Kyle..." someone greeted.

In an instant, the entire hallway fell silent, and everyone's eyes turned over.

This was the first time Kyle had experienced such a situation. He didn't react for a moment. He just stood there and asked, "What happened to you guys today?"

Everyone looked at each other, no one said anything, and finally a Hufflepuff stammered, "Um... I think you should just look at it yourself..."

As she finished her words, the students standing between Kyle and the bulletin board moved to both sides, making way.

Kyle didn't hesitate and walked over quickly.

A new notice was posted on the bulletin board: [Ministry of Magic Award Notice]

Kyle was quite happy when he saw this title. This is a school-wide announcement from the Ministry of Magic. This is a very impressive thing. Who knows who is so lucky...

Then he saw his name.

But this is not the point. The point is the following paragraph.

“Hufflepuff sixth-year student Kyle Chopper submitted his job application to the Ministry of Magic some time ago.

Although he has not reached the age for appointment, in view of his repeated provision of important clues in the resurrection of the mysterious man and his fearless act of rescuing Harry Potter from the siege of Death Eaters, the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts jointly decided to reward him with special admission.

"I have officially assumed the position of Senior Assistant to the Minister of Magic (Internship) and President of the Hogwarts Boys' Union starting today.

"In addition: During this special period, the Ministry of Magic will work closely with Hogwarts and welcome every outstanding student who is interested in the job. Regardless of whether their age meets the requirements, we will give them serious consideration."

[Signed: Cornelius Oswald Fudge, Minister for Magic

Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts

After reading all the contents of the announcement, Kyle felt the veins on his forehead throbbing.

What's going on? When did he submit his job application to the Ministry of Magic?

Kyle just wanted Dumbledore to be the Minister, but he never thought of working in the Ministry of Magic himself... Under the current circumstances, his mission has been accomplished.

And what does Dumbledore's signature mean? Can't he see that the Ministry of Magic is trying to poach Hogwarts' talents? No!

Kyle didn't hesitate, he immediately turned around and ran back to the eighth floor and came to the gargoyle stone head.

"Fluffy Mints!" Kyle gave the command.

But surprisingly, the stone beast did not react at all.

Kyle shouted again, and the result was the same.

Apparently, Dumbledore had changed the password in the few minutes he was away.

Kyle recited the names of the other candies, nearly reciting the entire Honeydukes shopping list, but the stone beast seemed welded to the ground.

Kyle stood there, he had a hunch that maybe not only the password had changed, but even Dumbledore might have left the school by now.

With Fox around, it was so convenient for him to go out.

Thinking of this, Kyle quickly walked to another corridor and stopped at the door of Professor McGonagall's office.

He knocked on the door.

"Kyle?" Professor McGonagall opened the door and asked curiously, "What are you doing here?"

"It's like this..." Kyle said quickly, "I have something important to discuss with Professor Dumbledore, but the password to the headmaster's office seems to have been changed."

"Ah, that's right..." Professor McGonagall's expression changed slightly.

Because just a minute ago, Dumbledore stood in Kyle's position and told her solemnly that she must not tell Kyle the password to the headmaster's office under any circumstances.

"Can you tell me the new password?"

"What a coincidence." Professor McGonagall pursed her lips, the muscles on her cheeks twitching, and she tried hard not to laugh. "The headmaster had something very important to do, and he left the school a minute ago."

"Run away?" Kyle took a few deep breaths.

"Come in first." Professor McGonagall opened the door and waited for Kyle to come in before continuing to ask, "What do you want to do with the headmaster?"

"Regarding the inauguration notice in the lobby," Kyle said, "I had no information about it before today."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Professor McGonagall said with a smile, "The headmaster specifically told me that this is what he should do, and there's no need to thank him..."

"Thank you?" Kyle couldn't help but raise his voice.

"Yes," said Professor McGonagall, "he said that Assistant Minister was a good job, with a good salary, and he would be happy to see a student take up that position before graduation, and to offer some minor assistance.

"Oh, he also asked me to tell you to stay true to your original aspirations and make more contributions to the magic world."

"Hehe..." Kyle laughed dryly twice, "But Professor McGonagall, the last paragraph of the notice is obviously trying to poach students from Hogwarts. Don't you care?"

"No, you are wrong." Professor McGonagall shook her head, "Hogwarts is just a school. When students graduate, they will go to work in different places, including the Ministry of Magic.

"So in my opinion, this decision is not only not wrong at all, but it is the best decision in recent years."

this……

The reason why Fudge did this was undoubtedly to tie himself to his side and recruit more outstanding students to enhance his prestige.

If Dumbledore really wanted to be a minister, this decision would naturally not be good for him, but if he was just looking at it from the perspective of the headmaster, that would be another matter.

Just like Professor McGonagall said, students would be happy to find good jobs before graduation, so how could they object?

"Is there anything else you want?" asked Professor McGonagall.

"there is none left."

"In that case, then go back quickly." She said with a smile, "I think your friends should have heard the news and are waiting to celebrate for you."

Kyle sighed and left the office.

It was just as Professor McGonagall thought.

When he returned to the hallway again, a large group of people had been waiting there for a long time. When they saw Kyle, they immediately surrounded him.

"Haha, Senior Assistant Minister, that's great..." Fred patted Kyle's shoulder fiercely.

"That idiot Percy has only just become a minister's assistant after graduating for so long..."

"And I got this position by betraying my family..."

George said, "He slandered Dumbledore a lot some time ago, and said that our support for Dumbledore was affecting his promotion, and he had a big fight with his parents about it."

"Mom was sad for several days..."

"If he knew you were his superior before you even graduated, he would be jealous to the point of going crazy."

"Don't say that." Kyle shook his head. "It's just an internship. Maybe I'll be fired tomorrow."

"Impossible." Tonks came over from not far away, "That's just because you haven't graduated yet, just like me. If you graduate, you can naturally become a formal senior assistant minister."

Kyle rubbed his forehead. Well, it was another bad news...

"You and Umbridge are both 'senior', so who has a higher position?" Fred asked curiously.

"There's no comparison," said Tonks. "Umbridge is the Under-Minister, the only person higher than her is the Minister.

"But Kyle is not bad either. As a senior assistant to the minister, he is already able to participate in some important decisions of the ministry and can even make some less important personnel adjustments when the minister is busy."

She looked at Kyle with burning eyes, "How about transferring me back to the Auror Office? You have the authority now..."

Kyle pretended not to hear her and ignored her.

This made Tonks so angry that her hair turned red. She also threatened to cause trouble for Kyle in the next class, which caused another round of laughter from the people around.

Kyle narrowed his eyes and looked at Fred and George, who were laughing the most happily.

He remembered that Mrs. Weasley had always wanted them to work in the Ministry of Magic. They were all brothers, and now that he had the ability, there was no reason not to take care of them.

Kyle decided that when he got back he would write to Mrs. Weasley to discuss letting them work in the Ministry of Magic.

He had already thought of a position, which was in the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Department, just like Mr. Weasley.

As a senior assistant to the minister, it is too easy to recruit two people.

And Cedric... he was smiling happily too, so come in too. Mr. Diggory should be happy to work with his son.

For unknown reasons, Fred and George felt a chill all over their bodies, but they did not pay much attention to it. They just thought it was the cold wind blowing in from outside and continued to laugh.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the foyer.

Harry, Hermione and Ron also saw the announcement.

Ron looked at Kyle who was surrounded by everyone, curled his lips and said, "This is unfair. When it comes to providing clues... Harry, your contribution is much greater than Kyle's, isn't it?

You have been insisting on the news that You-Know-Who has made a comeback, why did the Ministry of Magic only give him a reward? "

"Don't say that." Harry shook his head. "Kyle really saved me. It's only right that the Ministry of Magic rewarded him."

Ron didn't seem to be listening and muttered under his breath, "Another Percy... Only a fool like him would want to work for the Ministry of Magic."

"The monthly salary of a senior ministerial assistant is one hundred and fifty Galleons," Hermione suddenly said at this time.

"How much?" Ron's eyes widened immediately.

"One hundred and fifty Galleons, about the same as a deputy director." Hermione flipped open the newspaper in her hand. "This is today's Daily Prophet. It has more detailed information."

Ron snatched the newspaper, and then his face became interesting.

He couldn't imagine how cheerful he would be if he could earn a salary of 150 Galleons a month.

"Harry, do you think it's too late for us to write to the Ministry of Magic now?"

"I'm afraid it's too late." Harry shrugged. He still had plenty of Galleons in his vault and didn't care much about the salary from the Ministry of Magic.

"But you can try, maybe you have a chance. Doesn't the notice say that they welcome every student?"

"Forget it." Ron struggled for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't want to work with Percy. I'll go crazy if I do that. Besides, the Ministry of Magic has slandered you before. I dare say that few people in the school want to join them..."

After saying this, he was about to return the newspaper to Hermione, but when he turned around, he found that Hermione was staring at the notice intently.

"Wait." Ron asked suspiciously, "Hermione, you don't want to sign up..."

"Yes, I want to work at the Ministry of Magic," Hermione said firmly.

"Why?" Ron didn't understand. "Not long ago, the Ministry of Magic thought we were crazy and refused to acknowledge the resurrection of You-Know-Who. How could you stand on their side?"

"That's all in the past, isn't it?" said Hermione. "At least we're on the same side now."

"What about Umbridge?" said Ron. "She's also from the Ministry."

"Umbridge cannot represent the Ministry of Magic. Mr. Weasley and Tonks also work in the Ministry of Magic, but they are very good." Hermione said, "And there are many unreasonable things in the wizarding world right now, such as the attitude of wizards towards house-elves... Only by joining the Ministry of Magic can all this be changed."

"House elves?" Ron couldn't help but interrupt her, "I thought you had given up the plan to save the elves!"

"It's the House-Elf Rights Association." Hermione corrected, "And I just put it on hold temporarily, I didn't give up."

"You know that's impossible," said Ron. "House-elves like to work."

"But that doesn't mean they like being ordered around rudely. Just like the house elves in the kitchen, a simple thank you can make them happy for many days."

Hermione continued: "Kyle is right, I was going in the wrong direction, I should have urged everyone to treat house elves kindly, just like Harry did to Dobby.

"But it's also difficult. People won't listen to a student seriously. The only chance is to enter the Ministry of Magic."

"I support you." Harry said with a smile, "You are the top student in your grade. There is no reason for the Ministry of Magic to reject you. Perhaps you can become a senior assistant minister like Kyle."

"Thank you," said Hermione, "but I'd rather work in the Law Enforcement Department."

"I want to be an Auror," Harry said, "but I might not be able to pass it that easily."

Ron looked at his two good friends and blinked in confusion. He didn't understand why Harry wanted to join the Ministry of Magic now after being slandered by Fudge and Umbridge for so long.

He felt as if he was the only outsider.

"Okay." He shrugged. "Since you all say so, I'll join in too."
