The former Soviet experts' interview on this day didn't last too long.

Compared to the long wait, from the moment Erina arrived in Moscow to the final signing of the employment agreement, less than twenty minutes had passed. The whole process was so smooth that when Aleksei came out, Frank, who was waiting outside the door, wondered if the negotiations had broken down again.

"Mr. Aleksei, Mr. Frank, please hold on."

Just as Frank was taking down his coat and hat from the rack, preparing to leave with Aleksei, a slightly shrill voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and a house-elf appeared before them.

"Esteemed sirs, it is now 11:53 Moscow time. The chef has specially prepared a sumptuous lunch for both of you to celebrate Mr. Aleksei's successful onboarding and Mr. Frank's efforts these past few days."

As the house-elf spoke, it turned slightly to the side, gesturing with one hand toward a half-open door to a private room.

"Today's menu includes Pacific herring foie gras brioche, king crab tartare with grilled pineapple, premium beluga caviar on toast, hazelnut chicken morel barley porridge, veal tongue mashed potatoes with morel sauce, crab meat béchamel baked filet mignon with hollandaise sauce..."

Accompanying the house-elf's clear and magical voice, Frank and Aleksei, who were already somewhat hungry, felt their stomachs rumble in unison. A faint aroma of food entered their noses, stimulating their taste buds to secrete saliva like crazy.

The two of them then realized that almost seven hours had passed since their last breakfast.

Frank swallowed hard, looking at Aleksei hesitantly.

"Maybe we should try it... it sounds pretty good."

"Is there vodka, and can I take it to go?"

"Of course! You can even choose an extra take-out meal according to the menu, but you may need to heat it up yourself later... Oh, and according to regulations, you cannot choose magical specialties for take-out food."

The house-elf nodded politely, respectfully leading the two towards the room next door. The table was already filled with all kinds of luxurious and exquisite dishes that Aleksei had never seen before in his life, like a feast from paradise.

Perhaps for Aleksei, Frank, and others, this was a commemorative moment after a months-long marathon.

But for Erina, this was just a small interlude in daily life that happened several times a week on average. The preparation and rhetoric were also similar, and the recipes were mostly changed irregularly according to her own preferences.

With the establishment of a streamlined system, her work was actually much easier than before. She mainly spent her time slacking off at school.

And in her spare time, Dumbledore would occasionally ask a few questions about the progress of receiving former Soviet scientists.

As an educator with nearly half a year of teaching experience, he had a natural sense of affinity for those non-magical colleagues who were also engaged in academics. Grindelwald would also sometimes share some interesting stories about accompanying Erina on business trips to Moscow, or those interesting Muggle perspectives, of course, omitting the use of Obliviate to rewind things.

In fact, while Erina and others were not paying attention, Dumbledore had secretly observed that part of the Muggle scholars who had signed a magical contract with Hogwarts, and it was indeed as the two had said, everyone had joined voluntarily.

Although the reasons and starting points may be different, Dumbledore was absolutely sure that among this group of people, no one was manipulated by magic, influenced by potions, or coerced in any despicable way...

In fact, after several inquiries and verifications, Albus Dumbledore even felt a little guilty for his suspicion of Erina. Although that child was sometimes a bit out of line on small matters, she was indeed impeccable in terms of righteousness and kindness.

Objectively speaking, even if he and Grindelwald joined forces, they would probably not be able to persuade so many unfamiliar strangers at once, and find that one in ten thousandth point of balance, relying on her personal charm and precise insight like Erina.

"Is this the advantage of a Veela hybrid... It's really enviable..."

Dumbledore glanced at the few parchments filled with Russian names beside him, shaking his head with emotion.

"It seems that my work here should also be completed soon, otherwise, if I turn a good thing into a bad thing, that would not be good."

Now that Erina had completed her duties, it was time to promote the proposals to deal with the Ministry of Magic and persuade the school board to agree to increase the number of temporary faculty and staff, and to expand the area outside Hogsmeade Village as a family living area.

Hogwarts' rhetoric to the wizarding world would naturally not be to introduce advanced scientific knowledge from the non-magical world.

All enlightenment learning, whether in the non-magical or magical world, can generally be summarized into the same broad category – recognizing the laws of the world, discovering one's own potential, and establishing a connection between people and nature.

And Dumbledore's main task these days was, from the perspective of a senior educator in the wizarding world, to find the common points between some courses in the non-magical and magical worlds based on Erina's introduction, and to connect them reasonably.

Of course, Hermione, Hannah, and Luna, who had already conducted a pilot program of [Magic-Science] mixed teaching in advance, were naturally the focus of Dumbledore's attention. These three little witches with different personalities and talents perfectly fit the comprehensive portrait of Hogwarts' ideal students.

As a matter of course, in addition to Erina, Hermione, Hannah, and Luna also had an extra privilege outside of class time – an exclusive after-school tutoring class from the greatest wizard in the world today, Albus Dumbledore.

Regarding this small change, the three little lolis who had returned to school had all briefly fallen into despair and even attempted to skip school, but after Erina Kaslana's "loving cuisine" and some inside information were revealed, they quickly recovered from their low moods.

After all, according to the news revealed by Erina, starting next semester, all of Hogwarts would begin to implement these "simple" basic education that they are now experiencing, the degree and specific content depending on their current learning progress.

And as students in the advance pilot program, they will have a very special right next semester...

[Gradually becoming Erina's shape - becoming a glorious teaching assistant or class representative]
