Hogwarts: Proficiency Panel Chapter 251 - 252: The Exclusive Interview

"Special interview..."

Mr. Weasley murmured.

"I won't do it," Sean replied.

He didn't want his peaceful life at Hogwarts to be disrupted.

Alchemical scholars generally knew their boundaries, and there was a certain tacit understanding between the British Ministry of Magic and the alchemical community. However, wizards driven by fa and fortune were a different story.

For example, a certain incoming Defense Against the Dark Arts professor...

If Sean recalled correctly, Harry had once been kept in detention for a long ti just to help Professor Gilderoy Lockhart answer fan mail.

To Sean, the honor of a Chocolate Frog card was more symbolic than practical, and he didn't consider fa to be all that important.

Magic was the foundation of everything.

"I understand, Mr. Green."

Professor Quirrell nodded, asked no further questions, and moved to intercept the middle-aged witch, preparing to show her out.

At this mont, the witch's calm expression cracked—it was a logical outco, yet entirely unexpected.

Even a Chocolate Frog card, which could almost be called one of the highest honors in the wizarding world, couldn't move every wizard.

She was astonished that a young wizard of this age could so easily refuse such an honor...

Truly worthy of being called the Thrice-Greatest Hers.

"Please consider it again; we do not require all of your information."

The middle-aged witch said this just before leaving.

Sean found this strange and frowned slightly. Quirrell stopped in his tracks, quietly waiting for further instructions.

"The Chocolate Frog Card Committee collects all wizards who should remain in magical history. We do not care if your information is complete. In fact, for historical figures that cannot be verified, we simply create a portrait based on descriptions or choose to leave it blank," the witch said quickly, then waited respectfully.

Aside from Mr. Weasley, almost no other wizard noticed this secluded corner.

Mr. Weasley suddenly felt as if he had stepped into sothing montous, hearing news even more montous.

His back began to sweat. How had the guest gone from being a Hogwarts student to a big shot akin to a young Dumbledore...

"I don't need to show my face?"

Sean's voice was childish, yet no one present dared to ignore it.

"If that is your request, I an, of course," the witch said.

Sean finally decided to hear her out.

"Goodbye, Mr. Weasley."

Sean bid him a polite farewell.

"Oh—you're busy, my boy."

Mr. Weasley waved his hands repeatedly.

Before long.

The middle-aged witch entered the partition with excitent in her heart.

The requirents for wizards to appear on Chocolate Frog cards were generally very strict, as they gathered wizards from all over the world and from all fields.

With so many wizards, there were naturally different priorities.

Among the hundred or so cards currently in existence, renowned scholars or experts in magical history held a higher priority and occupied most of the spots.

For example, famous magical theoreticians (Adalbert Waffling), experts in Muggle studies (Blenheim Stalk), arithmancers (Bridget Wenlock), geographers and astronors (Ptolemy), and inventors of famous magical objects and spells, and so on.

Next were the top celebrities.

For example, the wizarding world's most famous rock band, The Weird Sisters, had every mber featured on a card, from the lead singer to the instruntalists.

There was also the singer Celestina Warbeck, and the "vampire singer" Lorcan d'Eath.

Of course, there were also plenty of celebrities from the sports and literary worlds.

Finally, there were wizards who achieved historical firsts, such as the first female Minister for Magic (Artemisia Lufkin), or the first person to cross the Atlantic on a broomstick (Jocunda Sykes), and so on.

But if one were to speak of the highest priority—the ones the Chocolate Frog cards absolutely could not do without—it was the greatest wizards of the age!

Dumbledore, Grindelwald, and the four founders of Hogwarts appearing on Chocolate Frog cards was the most natural thing in the world.

These wizards were the symbols of an era. If they didn't appear on Chocolate Frog cards, it would greatly diminish the credibility of the cards themselves.

And now, this little wizard was the person the Chocolate Frog Card Committee had identified as the one who would beco the greatest wizard of the next era.

His importance even exceeded that of Harry Potter.

Therefore, they had dispatched Louise Wick, the head of the Information Collection Departnt, to complete this eting that might well go down in history.

The partition had a small fireplace enchanted to keep the whole room bright.

Books were piled everywhere; they were all Professor Quirrell's forr collection.

Sean sat on a soft leather stool, while Professor Quirrell stood expressionless by his side. Louise felt he looked just like a butler.

"Just a view from the back will do, respected Mr. Green..."

Louise explained slowly.

The noise outside quickly subsided, and the Fairy Tale Biscuits were almost completely sold out.

The middle-aged witch walked out of the partition, hugging a file with satisfaction. Professor Terra raised an eyebrow and saw the witch heading straight for her.

"Master Terra of Uagadou, do you have ti for an exclusive interview with us in the coming week?" the witch asked.

As an alchemist, Master Terra's fa was still a little short of the standard for inclusion, but now it was just enough.

Professor Terra understood what was happening and nodded slightly.

This ti, she had surpassed those old fossils again.

It was so in her youth, it was so in her middle age, and now in the stage of comparing disciples, they couldn't even see her shadow.

Winning thoroughly...

It was truly... delightful.

Diagon Alley was gradually waking up, and all the shops were basically open for business.

anwhile, the Fairy Tale Workshop at Shop Number 77 had gone from deserted to instantly packed within just three hours.

This left the Weasley twins, who were watching from the joke shop, completely baffled.

"What do you think, George?"

Fred poked his head out the window.

"I'm watching with a telescope, Fred," George said.

Before long, only wizards browsing Diagon Alley remained in the Fairy Tale Workshop. These swarming wizards had just entered the shop, seen the almost unbelievable creations, and were then stunned into silence by the prices.

"No wizard would refuse to beco a dragon unless his wallet held him back."

A wizard in blue robes stared longingly, looking desperate yet helpless.

Almost all the wizards in the Fairy Tale Workshop were like this now. They had so purchasing power, but not necessarily enough to afford these items.

In the end, they could only watch helplessly as the biscuits sold out.

"The notice board at the entrance says the remaining series will be continuously supplied..."

A keenly observant wizard knew exactly what terrifying implication this carried.
