Chapter 344: Internship Opportunity

Not long after Tang Nade left, Anuo De suddenly announced a new decision.

"According to the career intention feedback from each student, we found that many people want to enter the Ministry of Magic to work. In this regard, I think it is a very good phenomenon, but it is also possible that some students do not have a clear understanding of what they will do in the future," he said before the Defense Against the Dark Arts class on Monday.

"Starting from this week, we will arrange for students to intern at the Ministry of Magic every Friday. We will arrange you to different departments according to your career intentions. Friday's classes will be swapped with Defense Against the Dark Arts class, or arranged at other times. Today and tomorrow, you can receive new schedules from your respective Heads of House, and the departments you are going to will be marked on the schedules."

"I am notifying you here, and this class has been swapped to Professor Fuliwei," Anuo De said, then walked down from the podium and sat in the last row of the classroom.

"Hey, I'm really not used to this classroom," Fuliwei climbed onto the podium and coughed unnaturally. "Just as Sir Anuo De said, in the time after this term, this class at this time has been changed to Charms class. You go to the Charms classroom."

There was a high stool in the Charms classroom for Professor Fuliwei to stand on. But here, he could only stand on the podium, which was too high and a bit of torture for both the teacher and the students.

In the evening, at the Slug Club, Professor Slughorn mysteriously approached Harry.

"As far as I know, Anuo De is preparing to arrange for you to intern in the Minister's office," he said in a low voice. "Did you tell him you want to be the Minister for Magic?"

"I didn't. I haven't decided what I want to do myself," Harry scratched his head. "However, Anuo De did keep urging me to be the Minister for Magic."

"Ha, the Minister for Magic isn't something an ordinary person can do if they want to, yet you want to refuse it!" Slughorn waved his hand exaggeratedly. "Do you know who has the final say in the appointment of the Minister for Magic?"

"The Prime Minister, probably," Harry had indeed never thought about this matter.

"It's the civil servants. Most Muggle Prime Ministers don't know about the existence of the Wizarding World before taking office, but civil servants in the Muggle world and civil servants in the Ministry of Magic often watch ball games together," Slughorn nodded slightly. "So, if Arnold suggests you be the Minister for Magic, this means as long as you nod."

"As long as I nod, I can really become the Minister?"

"That's right," Slughorn patted Harry on the shoulder lightly. "Do you know what a weighty thing this is!"

"But I really haven't thought about being the Minister. What does the Minister do every day?" Harry said somewhat aggrievedly. "What is certain is that he probably hasn't thought about managing the Wizarding World."

"Uh..." Slughorn pondered for a moment. "At least he manages the Wizarding World on the surface. Oh right, the last thing he was anxious to do was to want the Ministry of Magic to find him a cook who can make omelets."

Harry suddenly understood how Kelaisite quickly became an indispensable backbone of the Phoenix Society.

"Let's put this matter aside for now," noticing that Ron's face was a bit bad, Slughorn immediately put his arm around his shoulder. "What did you talk about with Miss Granger? I heard your dream is to be an Auror?"

"Yeah, I will work hard," Luo Nade said vaguely. "I don't quite understand. Hemin said she isn't seeking employment, she is going to pursue further studies? Where to?"

"Oh, this is very interesting," Slughorn seemed to still be stuck in old concepts. "She must want to stay and be a professor, right?"

"Miskatonic University, a university opened by the Magical Congress for wizards. It is said that one must achieve very good grades in NEWT to be admitted," Harry explained naturally. "A very interesting kind of innovation. I indeed have this feeling now that seven years at Hogwarts might not be enough to learn all magical knowledge."

It's just that what Harry and Zhang Qiu were worried about was that once Hemin set foot on that land across the ocean, I'm afraid her fate would fall into the hands of others.

"Magical Congress?" Slughorn said with disdain. "Even if they are sincerely wanting to open a university, I dare say there isn't much in this school that can be taught to Hogwarts graduates."

"Is that so?" Harry didn't quite believe this statement. Although the White House hadn't shown any iconic, unique high-end technology yet, just because he didn't know didn't mean it didn't exist.

"In short, she won't go to this Ministry of Magic internship," Luo Nade sighed. "She thinks our entire system has problems."

"Then let her go. The Atlantic Ocean isn't capped," Slughorn patted Ron again, then swayed to find Hermione.

After Harry learned that Luo Nade was arranged in the Auror Office, he was indeed a bit worried for him: Luo Nade's Potions level was far from reaching the level of a qualified Auror. He felt it was necessary for him to provide remedial lessons for him, or to be precise, it was necessary to increase the intensity of the remedial lessons.

After fiercely training Occlumency on Thursday, Harry was also slightly looking forward to the Ministry of Magic trip on Friday. No matter what he did, as long as it didn't let him continue to attend classes, he felt it was still not bad.

Before setting off, Harry was not surprised to notice that Nawei was also in the team.

"Ha, now there's company," Luo Nade said happily, putting his arm around Nawei. "Although Harry was arranged to the Minister's office, we two can be together."

"Oh? You are also in the Department of Mysteries?"

"Department of Mysteries??" Luo Nade took half a step back and spread his hands. "Don't you want to be an Auror?"

"I wanted to, but Anuo De told me that an Auror is not the end," Nawei nodded slightly. "Do you know about the doctoral program?"

Harry widened his eyes. He suddenly realized that Nawei was actually a perfect doctoral candidate: he was kind, just, proficient in various defensive spells, and most importantly, he had experience in time travel.

"Ah, I understand," Luo Nade said listlessly. "For those who have the ability to become an Auror, they let you experience the doctorate first, and for someone like me who struggles even to be an Auror, I can only go to the Auror Office."

"Don't say that, the current Head of the Auror Office," Harry comforted, "he used to be a doctor."

"Alright, children, don't whisper to each other now," Anuo De said. "Line up according to your respective departments, we are going to distribute Portkeys."

Harry originally thought he was the most special one, but what he didn't expect was that Delake also stood by his side, in a position further ahead than the team of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

"Nice to meet you, Potter," Delake said with a fake smile. "Anuo De also recommended the Minister's office for you, right?"

For no reason, Harry remembered his experience of entering the Wizarding World in his first year. It seemed that this hypocritical blonde boy in front of him was the first person he met. Perhaps in some crazy parallel world, he was his best friend?

"Yeah, what did you say during career guidance?" Harry asked casually.

"Haha, I actually didn't say anything. I said I didn't want to seek employment, I wanted to go back and inherit the family business," Delake's tone carried considerable pride. "So Anuo De said, before my father gets too old to manage things, he suggests I intern at the Ministry of Magic for a period of time."

"That's also quite good..."

"What about you?" Delake asked suddenly. "What did you say?"

"I... to be precise," Harry didn't want to lose the upper hand, "I should be taking over the Phoenix Society, so Anuo De suggested I come and be the Minister. Who knows what he's thinking?"

"This is because the Phoenix Society must be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Magic. The Phoenix Society must listen to the orders of the Minister for Magic," Anuo De suddenly interjected. "It's just that if the Phoenix Society insists on being unruly, we have no choice but to invite the President of the Phoenix Society to be the Minister for Magic."

"That's not a bad way either," Delake's face twitched.

"Alright, children, the Portkey is about to be activated," Anuo De clapped his hands, then grabbed Harry and Delake with his two hands respectively. "Because only you two are going to the Minister's office, I will take you there personally."

After a dizzying spin, Harry found that he had arrived at the door of the Minister's office. To be precise, it was the door of the large conference room on the floor of the Minister's office.

"Can the Minister only work in the conference room?" Harry asked.

"Oh child, don't talk nonsense," Anuo De shook a finger. "We equipped the Minister with an independent office, it's just that many times, he prefers to handle things in the conference room."

"Here," Anuo De extended a hand. "This is the Minister's private secretary, Mr. Bernard Wuli. He will be responsible for your entire internship career here."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Potter, nice to meet you, Mr. Ma Erfu," Bernard nodded with a smile. "The Minister very much welcomes your arrival, and also, just call me Bernard."

Anuo De looked at them with satisfaction, left a sentence "Wish you get along well," and then pressed the elevator to go downstairs.

Bernard took them to his office, then asked aloud: "Please sit, gentlemen, please sit. I invited you here because I want to ask first, what expectations do you have for this internship?"

"Mr. Ma Erfu?" He turned to Delake first.

"Uh, I." Delake froze for a moment, but the flame of ambition quickly ignited in his eyes. "I want to learn how to truly manage and run a country, even if I only learn a little bit."

"Good, I will take you to see Sir Humphrey later," Bernard nodded. "Then, Mr. Potter, what about you?"

"I... it doesn't matter," Harry actually looked down on these practical managers. His true goal was to become the strongest person in the Wizarding World. "I'll just get some credits. You can throw me in any corner. It's best if I don't have to come or do my own things and no one cares."

"Good, Mr. Ma Erfu, please wait here for a moment," Bernard stood up. "I will take Mr. Potter to see the Minister first." ===== CHAPTER 345 =====
