Chapter 1272 Counterattack starting from Mrs. Weasley
After dinner, Luna and Hannah returned to their respective lounges.
Elena followed Hermione to the Gryffindor House common room.
According to the previous "Four Houses Divide Elena Agreement", she must sleep in each house at least one night a week.
But even if tonight is not on the schedule, Elena will use her privileges to come here - Gryffindor House will be very lively tonight.
Sure enough, before she and Hermione finished playing the first game of wizard chess in the lounge, there was a loud noise at the door.
Fred and George hurried in, as if all their magic gadgets had been stolen by Filch.
"Is Percy back?" George looked around and saw Hermione shaking her head. He calmed down a little, "Did you know?! I just heard a ghost story about the newly opened door in Hogwarts called 'Life Magic'.
'The professor of the course seems to have been confirmed. The prefects were just called to receive the new class schedule. I have an ominous premonition..."
"Don't say that, Professor Weasley will be sad to hear it." Elena took the opportunity to push down the chess piece, turned her head and said with a smile, "Isn't this an epic enhancement?"
"Hey, wait a minute - I seemed to have a sudden tinnitus just now, and I didn't hear anything." Fred covered his ears and said quickly, deceiving himself.
"I didn't hear anything either. Well, it seems I've been a little too tired recently." George also said with a blank expression.
"To be honest, I envy you very much. Your mother is now a full professor."
Hermione rolled her eyes angrily at Elena who took advantage of the opportunity and asked in confusion while packing up the chess pieces.
"Is there anything wrong with Mrs. Weasley joining Hogwarts? You are definitely the students she pays the most attention to and takes care of."
"Oh," George twitched his lips, "Oh - you see, this is the scariest place."
"Why don't you see Ron, Ginny and the others?" Elena looked around, a little curious.
"They should be on their way back. Everyone saw mom walking into the auditorium," Fred sighed. "They didn't have time to run away. It's very rare for Hogwarts to temporarily add professors. Everyone has a lot of them."
I want to ask questions, such as what is the magic of life, and what about coursework, class style habits, etc..."
He stood up, walked to the window with some despair, and looked at the dark campus outside.
"You know, I'd rather have five Filch's in the school, at least that way there's still a little room for struggle."
Hermione glared at him.
"Why don't you stop thinking about breaking school rules?!"
"It's different. Now it's not as simple as breaking school rules. Mom has always nagged us a lot, but this is over now..."
George yawned greatly and looked at the cloudy sky outside the window depressedly.
"I don't know what my mother will teach in class, but my last half-year date with Taozi is probably in vain."
"If you are caught, you will be executed on the spot by your mother." Fred said firmly.
"This is your own problem," Elena said absently, "Puppy love is something that is wrong in the first place. Sometimes you are a little too presumptuous."
She lowered her head and started arranging the chess pieces again, preparing to encourage Hermione to play another game, when she suddenly noticed that Fred, George and Hermione were all staring at her with strange and subtle expressions.
"What's wrong?" She pinched the queen and knocked on the chessboard, "You are not adults yet, both physically and mentally - right?"
"Well, Elena - your words sound a little familiar -"
Hermione glanced at the white-haired dumpling in front of her and said thoughtfully, "Could the plan proposed by Umbridge be..."
"How is that possible?" Elena shook the little hair on her head quickly and said solemnly, "I'm just a student!"
Before Hermione and others could continue asking questions, a large group of people suddenly poured in at the door of the Gryffindor lounge.
Ron, Ginny, Charlie...
All the Weasley children are finally back.
The little Gryffindor wizards gathered around them, discussing something animatedly.
However, compared to the excitement and excitement of their classmates, the forced smiles on the faces of the Weasley children are a bit unbearable.
Percy walked at the back of the crowd, holding several large notices in his arms.
"George, Fred, come here and lend a hand—"
He said dully, looking as if he had lost his soul, with only the last bit of consciousness left driven by the prefect's badge.
"The professors have agreed on the latest class schedule. Starting from tomorrow, each grade will have a required class on Life Magic every week - everyone will be informed tonight."
"So...that professor-"
"There are no professors. After discussions between the Hogwarts School Board, the Ministry of Magic and the school, teachers of the Life Magic Course do not have the teaching qualifications."
Percy conveyed the message without emotion, and continued quickly without waiting for George and Fred's glimmer of luck.
"Campus Life Director - this is the final title, everyone can call her Madam Pomfrey..."
"In order, and affectionately call the new life teacher: Mrs. Weasley."
"Oh." The light in George and Fred's eyes dimmed.
…………
Although the little wizard of the Weasley family is temporarily depressed.
But as this week's class comes to an end, everyone has to admit that the Magic of Living class is indeed very interesting.
In fact, with the arrival of Mrs. Weasley, most young wizards finally figured out the use of learning magic.
Unlike other courses at Hogwarts, Mrs. Weasley does not have a fixed teaching setting. She is more accustomed to teaching directly in various common rooms.
The content of the course is also very fragmented: from lighting the fire by the fireplace, to sitting in the sofa chair to serving drinks on the coffee table; from trimming unkempt hair, to changing the hemlines on clothes to make oneself more decent; from directing quilts and chairs themselves
Classified as follows, how to stabilize your body immediately when you accidentally fall down, so as not to get injured and make a fool of yourself...
"Excellent performance." Mrs. Weasley smiled and patted Qiu Zhang on the shoulder. The atmosphere in the Ravenclaw common room was particularly joyful.
"You taught me well." Qiu Zhang said shyly, gently drawing circles on his back with the wand in his hand.
They had just experienced a pillow fight, which no one had dared to imagine before.
And more importantly, those little witches who had withdrawn or were suspended from the competition finally experienced the joy of flying slowly again.
Combining the levitation spell with simple magic command mobilization, and at most some superficial protective spells, the Ravenclaw Academy lounge quickly turned into a joyful playground.
"Okay, girls - now let's learn another piece of knowledge, about paying attention to monthly periods."
Mrs. Weasley smiled and nodded, looked at the lesson plan in her hand, and waved to everyone.
"Oh - some gentlemen over there come to the front, don't be embarrassed to hide."
"This is not just something girls need to learn, it's very important."
Hogwarts does not specify the specific teaching content of Mrs. Weasley.
In fact, when Mrs. Weasley arrived at Hogwarts, she only had one sentence to introduce the content of the course she was going to conduct:
"Teach children as much as possible how to use magic harmoniously, happily, and with knowledge to enjoy life."
Some parents in Slytherin House had some objections at first. They thought Mrs. Weasley would only teach trivial household magical knowledge.
However, when Mrs. Weasley summoned the family tree in the Slytherin House lounge and guided everyone to design and perfect supplies related to the family crest, the remaining doubts in Slytherin House suddenly disappeared - people
Suddenly I realized that whether it was the Weasley family or the Prewett family... they were all genuine magical families.
On the other hand, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff House also provide special teaching that teaches students according to their aptitude.
Although Mrs. Weasley hardly teaches new magic, she guides the students to skillfully use various magical knowledge as if she has some kind of magic power of her own.
The book only tells you the most basic and serious definitions, while Mrs. Weasley lets the little wizards understand how easy and comfortable magic can make life.
As for Gryffindor House, Mrs. Weasley has become the most popular witch in the house - even making Weasley's children a little jealous.
Compared to the stoic Professor McGonagall and the cheesy Umbridge, Mrs. Weasley is obviously much more approachable.
Umbridge's strict rules instantly became pale and powerless under Mrs. Weasley's gentle offensive.
Even later, the "happy education" she tried to advocate began to become less effective.
With Mrs. Weasley's "Living Magic" course, the little wizard gradually re-examined the course instead of completely mindlessly playing around.
For any magic or knowledge point that has obvious effects in life, even if the burden is "reduced" in class due to audit reasons, everyone will take the initiative to make up for it through self-study.
In fact, it's not just the offensive and defensive changes in the school's reputation that bother Umbridge...
In the last few days of this week, Fudge suddenly reduced the frequency of correspondence.
Although the apparent reason was to prepare for the "Lockhart Trial", Umbridge's sense of smell and the information she had gathered from everywhere.
Over there at the Ministry of Magic...
We might be in big trouble...
Moreover, this stormy future should involve changes in the top management of the Ministry of Magic...
But Umbridge didn't understand where the danger came from. After all, Dumbledore, Scrimgeour, and Crouch had all withdrawn from the competition.
Even though Cornelius Fudge is not a powerful Minister of Magic, at the moment, there is no opponent in the wizarding society that can threaten him.
Not to mention, the International Federation of Wizards is now leaderless - unless the Dark Lord is resurrected, nothing can shake the overall situation of the Ministry of Magic.
This was also the biggest basis for the Ministry of Magic's previous decision to intervene in Hogwarts. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them.
unless……
On Monday morning, owls flocked to Hogwarts.
Umbridge shook the cup in her hand, spilling black tea all over her body, and stared at the headlines in the newspaper.
"Gilderoy Lockhart: The Third Dark Lord? Pioneer of the Free World?"
"The British Ministry of Magic is suspected of starting the impeachment process of the minister"
