Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 458 Persuading Molly to Become a Professor! Boosting the Development of the Gourmet Magic Co

Dudley knocked on the door of the Burrow.

A questioning, slightly cautious voice came from inside the door: "Who is it?"

You can tell it's from Ms. Molly just by listening to it.

Moreover, one could hear hurried footsteps approaching the gate from inside the humble dwelling.

But Dudley knew that it was a fake voice that Ms. Molly had created using magic.

In reality, Ms. Molly was observing Mr. Arthur's magical real-time surveillance system in a small room inside the Burrow.

Above the main entrance of the Burrow, in an inconspicuous corner, is a magical camera converted from a Muggle camera.

Dudley mentally applauded Mr. Arthur's creativity and Ms. Molly's caution. He then used the mirror mark he had added to the Weasleys last year to call Ms. Molly and prove his identity.

A moment later, Dudley was welcomed into the Burrow by a flattered Mrs. Molly.

Although the humble dwelling is oddly shaped and furnished with old-fashioned items, it has a magical feel to it, with small pieces of furniture that operate automatically and ingeniously modified Muggle items everywhere.

Dali was immediately captivated.

It wasn't until Ms. Molly warmly brought out some steaming refreshments from the kitchen to entertain him that Dudley finally finished scanning the principles behind the creation of the modified items that interested him.

"Dali, although I am very surprised and welcome you to visit, what brings you here?"

The new school year at Hogwarts has only been going on for a little over a month, and Professor Dumbledore mentioned in a previous letter that you, like him, are very, very busy.

Molly controlled the tray holding some delicate tea snacks, letting it float down onto the coffee table in front of Dudley.

She then sat down on the sofa opposite Dali.

Dudley didn't hide it from Molly.

The Weasley family is a staunch supporter of the white wizards and the Dumbledore faction, a semi-public secret known to all the faculty and staff at Hogwarts. There was no reason to keep it from the Weasleys.

“I came here mainly to resurrect Luna’s mother, and at the same time, I thought of you, so I came to see you,” Dali said.

"Luna's mother, Lady Pandora? Resurrection? Could it be that the blessing magic is..."

Molly was very clever; as soon as Dudley pointed it out, she guessed that there was a problem with the founder of Hogwarts's blessing.

"That's right, there was no blessing magic at all. The professors becoming younger and the dead white wizards and good Muggles being resurrected all came from the miraculous power I obtained."

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble and to make the wizarding world more accepting of all this, I discussed this explanation with Headmaster Dumbledore.

This matter can be discussed internally within the Weasley family, but it must be kept secret from the outside world.

Dali patiently gave a brief explanation.

The Weasley family currently has no members serving as Hogwarts faculty or staff, and the resurrection incident is a recent event that occurred only two or three months ago. For reasons of secrecy, Dumbledore has not yet revealed the truth about the resurrection ability within the Order of the Phoenix.

The Weasley family, of course, did not receive the news either.

Therefore, Molly only now understands all of this.

"Oh my God! Merlin's 'Miracle'! So, Dudley, my two brothers were resurrected because of you?"

Molly was so shocked by the truth that she couldn't close her mouth. She said with great excitement, "Thank you, thank you so much, Dudley, I'm so glad you were here..."

Seeing Molly's eyes welling up with tears, and her speech becoming somewhat incoherent, I was struck by her excitement.

Dudley quickly changed the subject, explaining the main purpose of his visit:

"There's no need for words of thanks. I didn't come here to hear your thanks. I came to ask if you would be willing to go on more missions, long-term missions."

"A long-term mission? Does Professor Dumbledore need Arthur and me to go to the Muggle world on official business again?" Molly asked, somewhat eagerly.

Dudley picked up a pastry from the plate on the table and replied:

"It's not going to the Muggle world, it's going to Hogwarts. And you don't need to bring Mr. Arthur along, you can take on this task yourself."

“Hogwarts? Me?” Molly’s eyes widened. “Didn’t they say Muggle talents don’t need extra security? Are they suggesting I become a professor?”

Molly's expression at this moment was very similar to Ron's expression when Dudley made Ron the class monitor.

This made Dali smile slightly.

"That's right, we want you to become a professor, specifically a professor specializing in practical coaching, which is currently in high demand."

"Will this... will this work?"

Molly's eagerness was tinged with apprehension. "Dali, to be honest, I consider myself to be quite strong. Dealing with a couple of Death Eaters shouldn't be a problem, but the spells I often use are rather unconventional and might not be suitable for teaching my students."

Furthermore, I've never taught before, and I'm afraid I'm not up to the task of being a professor. The Daily Prophet even reported that practical tutoring requires professors to demonstrate their competence and charisma to attract students to enroll. I…”

"Are you going to back down before the battle even begins? That's not like the style of Gryffindor."

Seeing that Molly was hesitant, Dali directly used a provocation tactic.

Believe it or not, this tactic is remarkably effective against people from Gryffindor.

"How could that be?! It's just being a professor, I'm not afraid of anything!"

Molly didn't want to bring shame to the Gryphon Academy because of her actions, so she spoke up loudly without thinking.

But as soon as she finished speaking, she regretted it a little.

"But then again, I am, after all..."

"After all what? Your concerns are not a problem at all."

Dudley interrupted Molly's attempt to make amends, and instead of trying to persuade her, he said, "Developing the combat capabilities of food magic is a hot topic at Hogwarts Hufflepuff School right now."

Isn't your specialty fighting with food magic?

Cutting spells cut vegetables and meat; separating spells remove odors and impurities from ingredients; crushing spells crush ingredients; heating spells cook food; flavor-enhancing and umami-enhancing spells make finished food more delicious...

These same magic spells that work on food are just as effective against enemies.

Although some of these spells don't strictly fall under the category of culinary magic, they are spells that cooking enthusiasts among wizards can't avoid. Hufflepuff students have the foundation and talent in this area.

You are extremely familiar with these spells and can use them with great flexibility. You can even cast them silently and without a wand. Based on this alone, you are qualified to be a practical instructor.

Moreover, with your mastery of culinary magic, you'll surely be sought after by the students of Hufflepuff School.

As for the fact that you haven't taught any classes, that's not a problem.

Most of the new professors at Hogwarts haven't taught classes before. In contrast, you specifically studied child psychology and educational psychology at a Muggle talent center!

Compared to other new professors, you've already won at the starting line.

"Is that right?"

Molly felt a little dazed and lightheaded after being persuaded by Dudley.

I feel that I am capable of becoming a professor.
