With a Good Enough Hoe, No Corner Is Safe from Being Dug Out!

On the last day before the holiday, William learned from Dumbledore that Professor Lupin had resigned.

He was also very surprised when he heard the news.

Professor Lupin survived Voldemort's curse for a year, and now he's gone just like that?

A professor with such high magic resistance is a rare strategic resource! It would be such a waste to lose him.

Of course, Professor Lupin might also have been genuinely afraid. He had been cautious all year, and yet, at the last minute, something still went wrong.

If William and Hermione hadn't saved Harry and proven his innocence... he probably would have been killed for "eating the Boy Who Lived."

William suddenly realized that he was the chosen one to break Voldemort's curse!

For example, Tywin had already died a glorious death on the toilet, but William forcibly brought him back to life.

Not only did they survive, but they also successfully received an apartment, a bodyguard, and the Ministry of Magic provided them with three meals a day.

She's a true winner in life!

Look at this skill! It's way better than Hermione's, who's been researching curses all this time! (whispering!)

When the two arrived at the Defence Against Dark Magic classroom, Lupin's office door was open.

He has already packed everything.

Upon seeing William and Hermione, Professor Lupin smiled and said, "You two have arrived?"

"Professor, why do you insist on resigning?" William pleaded.

"If it's because of the Werewolf, Professor Dumbledore has already convinced the School Governor to let you stay. Fudge has no right to interfere in this matter."

"No." Professor Lupin shook his head.

"After that night, I realized I was still too dangerous."

I might bite the little wizard... That absolutely cannot happen.

"And, although you didn't mention it, William, I still feel guilty."

You told me to protect Harry, but I forgot to take my medicine. This is an absolutely unforgivable mistake.

"Professor Lupin!" Footsteps sounded again.

William and Hermione turned around and saw Harry rushing over from the other side of the corridor.

He said breathlessly, "I just ran into Hagrid, and he said you resigned."

"Yes, I'm afraid so." Professor Lupin picked up the suitcase.

"You're the best Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher we've ever had!" Harry exclaimed. "Don't go!"

"Stop trying to persuade me, Harry. My resignation has been approved."

Lupin smiled and walked to the door.

"For me, this journey to Hogwarts is over. It's time to pack my bags and get off at the next stop."

He patted William on the shoulder again and said gently, "Before we part, I still want to thank you and Hermione."

You two saved me, Sirius, and Harry.

If there's anything I'm proud of, it's being your teacher.

I think Sirius will definitely be jealous of my experiences this year.

"Ah, Professor Dumbledore has come to pick me up!" Lupin said, striding out of the office.

"Your carriage is at the gate, Lupin," Dumbledore said gently.

"Thank you, Principal. I'm sorry to have troubled you during this time."

"You're the one who's helped me a lot."

"Professor, after you leave the school, have you thought about where you'll go next?" William suddenly asked.

"Hmm... I haven't decided yet." Lupin hesitated. "There aren't many jobs suitable for Werewolf, but there are a few."

"But those that suit you... might no longer be suitable." William shook his head.

"What do you mean?" Lupin was taken aback.

"I've heard that Umbridge is drafting an anti -Werewolf law targeting Werewolf employment."

Fudge had wanted to fire Lupin, but Professor Dumbledore coldly refused.

This law might have been a test he was putting the principal to the test. Lupin was merely a scapegoat.

Umbridge, on the other hand, happens to really hate Werewolf.

Dumbledore looked at William in surprise; he hadn't received this information.

William's information network is incredibly efficient!

Of course she's knowledgeable! Rita has always been an expert in this area! William had her keep an eye on Minister Fudge a long time ago.

It would be best to gather some scandals that are not worth mentioning, so that we can dominate public opinion and oust the minister at any time.

Although on the surface the two have a very good relationship and are still in the honeymoon phase of their collaboration, that doesn't stop William from making his move when necessary!

This is politics, a life-or-death struggle.

Besides, this law is extremely dangerous. If Voldemort returns, he will only push the Werewolf into his arms.

There is almost no room for maneuver.

"Who is Umbridge?" Harry asked, puzzled.

"A high-ranking official in the Ministry of Magic, Fudge's secretary," Hermione explained.

"She can't do this! We have to stop her!" Harry said angrily. "Professor Lupin isn't dangerous!"

William and Hermione exchanged a glance but ignored him.

That's incredibly naive. This kind of high-level power struggle can't be stopped by a few words from him.

Does Harry really think the world revolves around him?

Lupin also felt uneasy. If the anti- Werewolf law was true... wouldn't this sudden accident only worsen his already impoverished life?

Lupin suddenly didn't want to resign anymore.

"Do you have any suggestions, William?" Dumbledore asked.

"Yes, I think you've all seen the little guy on the bulletin board. Akali's Mystery Shop is offering a hefty reward for... someone."

William broke out in a cold sweat; he almost blurted out that he was offering a large sum of money for a child.

"We're opening a physical store in Diagon Alley this summer."

The newly hired staff are all recent graduates, and I'm not entirely comfortable with that. I still need a more reliable store manager.

Professor Lupin, what do you think...?

"Is that alright? Won't my identity affect my business?" Lupin asked hesitantly.

"Of course not. You don't need to manage the front desk sales, but you do need to check the accounts and manage the inventory every day," William added.

"Of course, the salary is much higher than that of a professor."

Dumbledore glanced at William.

You've been poaching talent from the Ministry of Magic, and now you're trying to poach Hogwarts too?

That's so unfair!

William really was secretly trying to poach Hogwarts' talent.

He secretly contacted Professor Snape, asking him to help brew Potions.

It's really too tiring for William and Hermione to always be making it.

After hiring Professor Snape, everything changed completely.

Snape was a quick-draw artist, and he was an expert in brewing all kinds of Potions— common ones, obscure ones... there wasn't one he couldn't do.

Most importantly...

The regular Potions that customers need can be brewed by Professor Snape through lessons and assignments, with his students participating.

These Potions were collected but not distributed. The high-quality ones were simply sold off at low prices.

Anyway, the magical materials come from the school, the Potions are brewed by the students, and the money comes from... Akali's Mystery Shop!

William can make a business with absolutely no investment; it's perfect!

Tsk tsk... William even wants to be Potions Professor!

As for whether or not Snape can be poached... well, if you swing your shovel well, there's no corner you can't dig up.

Dumbledore, unaware of William's scheme to fleece people, blinked and joked:

"If the salary is really high, I can also be a nominal member..."

"Forget it, we can't afford someone as famous as you," William quickly waved his hand.

Hermione covered her mouth and laughed. "That's right!"

"I'll think about it and give you an answer in a few days." Lupin was somewhat tempted.

He's not a recent graduate, and it's graduation season now, so the job market is tough. His background check also has some issues.

If such a good job really existed, of course he'd be willing to take it.

"Well then, farewell everyone." Lupin picked up his old trunk and said with a smile, "No need to see me off, I can leave on my own."

Lupin turned and left, quickly disappearing down the corridor.

Seeing that Harry looked a little down, Dumbledore gently comforted him:

"Memory is a wonderful thing; it lives in the past, exists in the present, and can influence the future."

Let us cherish this memory, but ultimately we must look forward.

"Speaking of looking ahead..." William asked, "Professor, have you found a candidate for the Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor next semester?"

"Ah! This position is really hard to find."

Dumbledore's eyes, through his half-moon spectacles, gazed into the distance, as if lost in thought.

"However, I've already identified a few candidates."

"Just don't let another Death Eaters in." William shrugged.

His requirements were very low.

"Don't you trust me to handle things?" Dumbledore smile.

William raised his eyebrows.

He was genuinely a little worried!

William gently closed the office door, Hermione linked her arm with his, and the group walked toward the Great Hall.

The school year is finally coming to an end.

(Seeking recommendations and monthly tickets from generous donors.)

By the way...

Gathering the breath of the stars, the torrent of glorious life, receive this. "Sword of Promised Victory!" Grant me power, for I offer myself as a sacrifice—
