Chapter 390 Career Consultation

"You don't have to worry about their safety at all." Mike looked at Harry and Hermione with a worried look on their faces and said with a smile, "They are now in a very safe place, and the Ministry of Magic will never find them."

Harry was confused when he heard this, and Hermione blurted out after thinking for a moment:

"You mean they have left Ying Country now?"

Mike did not answer, but just smiled.

However, Mike's behavior made Hermione more certain of her thoughts. Harry beside him also woke up at this moment, and a look of sudden enlightenment appeared on his face.

"Okay, don't think about these things." Mike smiled, "You have been practicing brain occlusion for a while now, and I think I can test you again."

Harry nodded quickly. Under Mike's careful teaching in the past week, he felt that he had made rapid progress.

At least he would not fall asleep when he emptied his mind now.

Hermione beside him showed an embarrassment. Letting others try to invade her brain, especially the other party was Mike, was too difficult for Hermione.

Seeing that Hermione was somewhat reluctant, Mike did not force her, so he let Harry prepare for a while and then tested Harry with the Legilimency spell alone.

The strength of the test Mike used this time was weaker than the first test. He did not even use the complete Legilimency spell, but only conducted an ordinary lie detector test on Harry.

That is, Mike asked Harry a simple question such as "How old are you this year?", and then Mike released a weakened version of Legilimency to test his lie.

However, even with such a simple little test, Harry still failed.

Mike clearly sensed Harry's thoughts.

This made Mike doubt whether Harry had the talent for brain occlusion.

"How is it?"

Harry looked at Mike with longing, looking forward to his answer.

Mike had consulted a professional psychologist in his previous life because his son was addicted to games, so he knew children of this age very well.

Children like Harry's age are most likely to be enthusiastic for three minutes when doing things.

What they like is continuous positive feedback. Many games use this continuous, visual numerical growth as positive feedback stimulation to make those mentally weak children addicted to the game.

But this method is also very good to encourage children to learn in reality.

Just like Harry, if Mike constantly gives him positive feedback and lets him see his strength growing with his naked eyes, then he can always maintain his enthusiasm for learning the brain block technique. Otherwise,

the other party is likely to give up the study of the brain block technique directly - this is what happened in the original book.

So, Mike said slowly after struggling for a while:

"Well, not bad. It's improved compared to the first time."

Harry cheered immediately after hearing this, but at this time Mike poured cold water on him again.

"Don't be happy too early, I still caught your idea this time, but I encountered some obstacles in the process!"

Hearing this, Harry became a chicken again, but soon he regained his spirits. After all, there was still progress this time, although not much.

Then Mike started chatting with Harry again, and the topic was mostly about Dumbledore. Mike wanted to try to interpret Dumbledore's words by understanding Dumbledore as a person.

Hermione, who was standing next to him, saw that Mike had no intention of testing her, and she couldn't help but feel half worried and half happy. She

was happy that her inner secret was finally kept, but she was worried that she had lost the opportunity to get Mike's praise.

Looking at the two people who were chatting animatedly, Hermione suddenly remembered something and asked,

"Mike, are you ready for the career consultation Q&A tomorrow?"

"Career Q&A? What is that?"

"You don't even know?" A hint of surprise flashed across Hermione's face, "You can ask the professors some questions about the career you want to pursue in the future, and the professors will give you some advice so that you can work towards the career you want. Didn't Professor Flitwick inform you?"

"No!"

"But that's true," Hermione said sourly after hearing Mike's answer, "You don't need that thing at all."

Mike laughed and didn't care about the sourness in the other party's tone. Instead, he asked,

"What about you? Hermione, what career do you want to pursue in the future?"

"I..."

Hermione opened her mouth and was about to answer, but Harry next to her said first:

"I want to be an Auror! They are so handsome! And the key is that they are heroes fighting against the dark magic forces!"

Harry said righteously and excitedly, but Hermione, who was interrupted, was furious and sarcastically said:

"Ah! Auror! What a lofty ambition! But you probably can't do it, because to become an Auror you must obtain at least five newt certificates, and the grades must not be lower than 'good'. In addition, you must undergo a series of rigorous character and talent tests in the Auror's office. You can't even do the first of these two points, your grades are simply terrible! You can't even be a striker, because a striker also needs at least five newt certificates, and one of them must be a certificate in the Defense Against the Dark Arts course. But Umbridge will never let you pass the exam!

Oh! I forgot to say. After graduation, I want to work as a curse remover, pharmacist, healer, or a member of the Werewolf Support Service Department. Of course, they also have restrictions on the number and disciplines of newt certificates, but this is not a problem for me, because if nothing unexpected happens, I will get all 12 newt certificates, and all of them will be excellent!"

Mike opened his mouth slightly, looking at Hermione opposite him in a daze.

Harry lowered his head in disappointment.

But he was not angry with Hermione because of what she said. In fact, he knew that Hermione had no ill intentions at all.

He was still very disappointed, because what Hermione said was right, he probably couldn't be an Auror.

You know, poor grades can be improved by studying hard, but the relationship between him and Umbridge is really hopeless.

As long as Umbridge is still in Hogwarts, he will never pass the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam!

At this time, Hermione also noticed Harry's abnormality, and said softly with a guilty look:

"I'm sorry, Harry, I..."

Before she finished her words, Harry waved his hand to show that it was okay, and at the same time forced a smile to face the two of them.

"It's okay, Harry." Mike slapped Harry's shoulder heavily, "I believe in your ability, so if you really can't get the newt certificate because of Umbridge's targeting, you can still come to my company to work, I can guarantee that the job I give you will not be worse than that of an Auror in all aspects!"

"Really...really?"

"Of course, it's just a job, it's nothing."

"No, I mean..." Harry said a little shyly, "I mean do you really believe in my ability?"

Hearing this, Mike was stunned again, but soon returned to his initial smile.

"Of course! We are good friends. Don't I know you?"

Harry, who had received positive feedback, regained his vitality again. Seeing this, Mike thought to himself:

'Silly boy, you have no other advantages except your kind nature. You have no strength at all! '

...

The next day, when Mike rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked out of the dormitory, he found that everyone in the entire Hogwarts Castle was humming a song loudly!

The Weasley brothers, they could not tolerate it for a moment. They stood up in the face of injustice. Weasley is our king!

The Weasley brothers, they are selfless and hate evil, sacrificing themselves to open up a bright future. Weasley is

our king! Weasley is our king! Weasley is our king! Weasley is our king...

The name of this song is 'Weasley is our king! ', Mike was very impressed by this song, because in the original book, this song was used by Slytherins to mock Ron Weasley who was new to the Quidditch field, but now it has become a hymn to praise George and Fred.

The song was not very nice to listen to, but it had a simple tune and catchy lyrics. Every student who sang the song had a happy smile on his face, and even those professors who usually did not smile began to hum the song softly!

Mike was not surprised at all. After learning what Umbridge had done to Hogwarts, Umbridge became the most hated person by all the teachers and students in Hogwarts, without a doubt.

Now that she was forced to leave Hogwarts temporarily, it was certainly worth celebrating.

But the celebration was celebration, and the professors still remembered their own duties, so after playing around with the students in the auditorium for a while, Professor McGonagall announced that the fifth-year classes were cancelled today, and all fifth-year students had to go to their respective deans' offices for career counseling before the OWL exams. As

soon as this was said, the faces of many fifth-year students changed at once, except for a few.

Due to the large number of people, they had to start going to the dean's office of their respective colleges immediately.

The long line was full of students with sad faces. They actually still had visions for the future, after all, they were just a group of students who had not experienced the heavy blows of society.

But at the same time, they were also worried that the deans would cruelly and ruthlessly shatter their fantasies about the future.

In this sad and sad scene, Mike was surprised to find that Franklin next to him was still humming a little song, with a fearless look on his face.

"Franklin," Mike asked curiously, "Aren't you worried about career counseling?"

"Why should I worry about work problems? I will definitely follow you after graduation. Will you treat me badly?" Franklin said indifferently, but as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly changed his face as if he had thought of something, and said to Mike with a look of horror, "What do you mean? You don't mean to say that you will ignore me after graduation?"

Mike suddenly became playful. Facing Franklin's question, he did not speak, but gave a meaningful smile.

This frightened Franklin. He quickly grabbed Mike's arm and said,

"Don't, Mike! Don't you know? Except for flying and spells, my grades in other subjects are very bad. I will definitely not get a newt certificate!"

Seeing that Franklin was really anxious, Mike stopped teasing him and said with a smile,

"I'm kidding, brother! We made a vow at the beginning, how could I ignore you!"

Franklin was relieved after hearing this, but after recovering, he complained about Mike. For him, this was not a funny joke.

In this regard, Mike also deeply realized that his joke was a bit too much, so he apologized directly.

In this conversation, everyone came to the door of Professor Flitwick's office.

In order to keep confidentiality, career counseling must be one-on-one, so Mike and other Ravenclaws could only wait outside the office door and watch their classmates go in and out of the office.

Waiting is always irritating, especially when the students who came out of Professor Flitwick's office all had bitter faces.

Mike's strong mental power could clearly feel the tense mood in the air around him.

Under the influence of this atmosphere, Mike and Franklin stopped talking.

This is not to say that Mike is the kind of person who will be easily affected by the atmosphere around him, but if he and Franklin still put on that fearless look in this situation, it would really be too much to be beaten!

Finally, Mike's name sounded in the office.

Mike strode open the door of the office, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Professor Flitwick sitting behind the special desk and looking at him with a serious face.

"Good morning, Professor Flitwick."

"Hello to you, Mike," Professor Flitwick pointed to the seat opposite him with a stern face, "Sit down"

Mike felt a little puzzled. Given the relationship between him and Professor Flitwick, Flitwick should not have this attitude towards him.

But he still sat down opposite him as he was told, and only after he sat down did Professor Flitwick continue,

"Mike, originally I didn't want to invite you to this career consultation. After all, for you, finding a job after graduation is completely meaningless. But I recently discovered something that made me change my mind."

Mike sat up straighter. He had a feeling that what Professor Flitwick was going to say might be the fundamental reason why Flitwick's attitude towards him had changed so much.

Professor Flitwick flipped the parchment in front of him and said sternly:

"I noticed that recently, except for Charms and Ancient Runes, your grades in other subjects are very bad!"

Mike was stunned when he heard this. It had been a long time since anyone mentioned grades to him. In fact, almost everyone knew that Mike no longer needed to prove himself with grades, even he himself felt so. Therefore, except for Charms, which was taught by Professor Flitwick, Mike did not study hard in other subjects, and even just dealt with the daily tests.

But now looking at Professor Flitwick's appearance, it seems that the reason why he is so angry now is because his grades have dropped.

What's the reason?

With Professor Flitwick's intelligence, he should understand that grades are meaningless to him, right?
