"It turns out to be an interview." Tom was convinced. It was probably that Dumbledore was a little worried, so he came to inquire about the teaching content in advance.
However, this interview should be very relaxed, because Dumbledore himself did not seem to interfere with the professors' teaching content. Professor Trelawney had been playing tricks in the astronomy tower for more than ten years, and Dumbledore did not say anything strange. Last semester
Quirrell's teaching was so bad - he read the textbook according to the script and still stuttered, but he didn't interfere.
Therefore, the requirements for this position for Tom are very low. Even if he just reads textbooks, Dumbledore can let him coach.
Tom pondered for a moment, "I plan to start teaching this school year from my own books - the book actually talks about a lot of practical methods for dealing with dark creatures. I plan to let the children read these books first.
."
Dumbledore nodded.
"There is also Defense Against the Dark Arts, which is used to defend against black magic. Since you want to defend, you must first know what black magic is. I want children to understand the common black magic in the magic world and how to deal with them, and finally teach them
Just a few simple spells."
Dumbledore looked slightly surprised, "What spells do you want to teach them?"
"Expelliarmus and the Iron Armor Curse." Tom replied without thinking. "One offensive spell and one defensive spell are enough for them."
Dumbledore was a little doubtful that Professor Lockhart across from him really understood these two spells - being able to use them and being able to teach them were two different concepts, but the problem was not big, as these two spells would not produce anything.
Yao Mozi.
"Also, if possible, I hope Professor you can help me find some dark creatures, and I can also show the children how to deal with them."
Tom finished explaining his general teaching ideas, "Of course, I will add a lot of in-class exams, and correspondingly, there will be fewer homework assignments. I personally don't like the kind of testing method where the final exam determines the score, so I will add
There are also group assignments for the midterm exam..."
Among all kinds of courses, the most annoying subjects are those with many and complicated things. Some courses have phase test one at the end of the semester, before the mid-term, phase test two after the mid-term, and group cooperation projects.
, experimental courses and daily results. After one semester, it has a full sense of existence, making you feel as if you have taken this course this semester.
But I hate it, I hate it. Basically, if you take all kinds of things in this kind of class, you will definitely pass. It is very different from those classes where the final score is 50% and the project is 50%.
However, Tom still prefers the latter. In this way, only the final period of the semester will be busy, and the rest of the semester will be "peaceful".
But after becoming a professor, Tom still lived the life he hated most.
However, this approach clearly exceeded Dumbledore's expectations: no Hogwarts professor had ever been so energetic before him.
"Ahem, I need to remind you that you have seven grades to teach." Dumbledore calculated the workload of Tom doing this, and he was suddenly worried that this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor would retire due to sudden death from overwork.
"It doesn't matter, leave it to me!" Tom said in a confident manner - Is teaching stressful? It doesn't exist! There are so many students for him to use, and he won't be tired.
"Okay." Dumbledore saw that his dissuasion was ineffective, so he obeyed: at worst, he could just ask Madam Pomfrey to give him a few more potions to replenish his energy.
Tom left Dumbledore's office. But when he returned to his office, he saw an open door and empty drawers.
Tom's brows twitched suddenly, this incident was a bit surprising and unexpected.
But it's not a big problem.
He had already made preparations for this.
Currently, Tom has countless things to deal with: stolen diaries, secret rooms, lesson preparation...
If you have a lot of things to do, how should you allocate them in order? Is it based on the difficulty of the things? Of course not, it must be based on the priority of the things. Among these things right now, the most important thing is to solve the problem in the secret room.
The basilisk. Without the basilisk, Riddle would be like a tiger with its teeth pulled out.
Just like playing a game, a new map has strange environmental factors: thunder and continuous blood deduction. In this map, you have triggered three or four tasks. One of them can remove the negative effects of the map, so naturally you should complete it first.
Tasks that can solve negative effects.
The basilisk plays such a role.
The basilisk is in a secret room, and if you want to solve it, you need to open the secret room - you need the method and location of the secret room. Tom knows the location. The only thing missing is the Parseltongue.
Parseltongue refers to the language used by snakes and snake-like creatures. The extended meaning of this word refers to people who can communicate with snakes. This is a rare genetic talent. Almost all Parseltongues
They can all trace their ancestry back to a famous dark wizard - Harry can be said to be because he has a fragment of Voldemort's soul. But as a language, as long as you master the pronunciation, you can communicate even if you don't understand the language.
It's like you don't understand French, but your friend tells you that in French "hello" means "hold on" and "goodbye" means "on the donkey". If you say "on hold" and "on the donkey" to the French, they can do it too.
Understand.
Tom does not have the blood of a dark wizard, and naturally does not have an innate talent for Parseltongue. He previously wanted to find a "dictionary" and remember the pronunciation to open the secret room, but failed.
So he decided to find another way: As a human, it is normal for me not to understand snake language, but what if I turn into a snake?
Parseltongue is not only the language of snakes, but also snake-like creatures - rune snakes can communicate through Parseltongue. Birds and snakes are naturally also in this range.
But now there is still a problem: there is not enough space on Tom's soul ring.
His soul ring can engrave five kinds of magical creatures, and now it is full: wizard, three-headed dog, phoenix, unicorn and fire dragon. If he wants to engrave a bird or snake on it, he needs to replace one.
Tom replaced the wizard Lockhart with almost no hesitation - the rest were hard to add: the fire dragon was said to have been returned to the fire dragon sanctuary by Newt; the three-headed dog Luwei was adopted by Newt; the phoenix
It's not convenient to get it in Dumbledore's office; the unicorn is deep in the Forbidden Forest, and Hagrid and Voldemort have a hard time finding it.
Compared with these, Lockhart in the office is quite easy to obtain.
But Tom was not in a hurry to "wash off" Lockhart's form, and went to Hagrid's hut in advance and bought several strong big roosters from him, each weighing six or seven pounds. Hagrid asked
He gave other reasons, but Tom still used the teaching effect as an excuse.
The basilisk is a very strange magical creature. As long as it hears the crowing of a rooster, it will flee for its life, because the crowing of the rooster is also fatal to it. Since the rooster is so intimidating, there is no reason why Tom should not bring these to the snake treasure.
Tool.
After buying the rooster, he took out his teapot and copied the shape of the bird and snake on it.
Everything is ready! You can go to the secret room.
The entrance to the secret room is in "Myrtle's Bathroom".
Myrtle's bathroom is also a famous "attraction" in Hogwarts. This bathroom is located on the second floor of the castle, and there is a ghost lingering in it: Moaning Myrtle.
Moaning Myrtle, whose real name was Myrtle Elizabeth Warren, was a Muggle-born witch who studied at Hogwarts Ravenclaw Academy in the 1940s.
During this period, I was subjected to school violence because of my appearance.
In 1943, she lost her life after accidentally catching Tom Riddle summoning a basilisk.
After her death, she turned into a ghost and has been lingering near this bathroom. She kept losing her temper there and splashed water everywhere. The students stayed away from this bathroom and would rather suffocate to death.
Come to this bathroom.
However, there are also some young wizards who take full advantage of the inaccessibility of this place and come here to do things that violate school rules - such as preparing banned potions.
However, Myrtle's behavior caused other little wizards to stay away from the entrance of this secret room. Of course, even if they come here to use the toilet every day, there is no safety risk...
Although it is very safe, the thought of a big monster thousands of meters below my butt is still very disturbing.
In the afternoon, the little wizards all stayed in the common room of their college to rest. No one went to the second floor where the library was located, which gave Tom a chance.
When no one was around, he pushed a trolley to Myrtle's bathroom.
There were seven big roosters, each weighing six to seven kilograms. They weighed forty or fifty kilograms in total, and each one was full of energy and jumping around. If they were packed in ordinary sacks, Tom's little body would not be able to control it at all.
They. It must be said that Hagrid is very generous in his dealings with others. I heard that these seven big and beautiful roosters were used as teaching aids, so he gave them away for free without even asking for a knut, and he packed them up for Tom patiently.
In order to prevent the roosters from crowing and alerting snakes, Tom asked Hagrid to tie all the roosters' mouths, wings and paws in advance and stuff them into cages.
Tom walked into Myrtle's bathroom and heard the sound of the door opening. Myrtle suddenly jumped out from the innermost toilet tank. Tom also saw this ghost for the first time.
The image of Myrtle is that of a short, chubby girl. Although her face is half covered by long hair and pearl-colored glasses, it can still be seen that her expression is gloomy and melancholy.
When she saw Tom, she immediately screamed and roared: "Who is here? This is the girls' bathroom!"
But after seeing Tom's appearance clearly, her attitude changed and she giggled, "Oh? Strange face? Why are you here?"
Although Myrtle is just a ghost, Tom doesn't want to be stared at by her.
So he rolled his eyes at Myrtle and said, "My coming here has nothing to do with you."
This attitude angered Myrtle, and she screamed into a toilet, splashing water as high as the ceiling.
"If you die here, it has something to do with this place! Just wait and share this toilet with me!"
