Chapter five hundred and eighty-ninth parent meeting and punishment
"Elena's method? This is the learning method Elena helped me develop!"
Hermione rolled her eyes, patted the pile of thick books, and said seriously.
"Unless she can turn knowledge into dishes and stuff it into your mouth, there is only one way to learn. Hagrid, are you just trying to get a graduation certificate again? This knowledge and learning process are very important. Did you
I was forced to drop out of school, and now that I have the opportunity to study again, do I still want to cling to Ron, Harry and the others for fun?!"
"But Hermione, Elena's grades are better than yours, right?"
Rubeus Hagrid pursed his lips and carefully reminded the girl in front of him who looked like a little lion.
"And I think she doesn't seem to be immersed in so many homework and books all day long. Maybe she really has some relaxed... Well, by the way, what are the test-taking skills? Look, I'm already sixty
He is two years old, this information is really..."
"That was before! Now she has to be in solitary confinement every day, and her grades have dropped drastically!"
Hermione Granger retorted quickly and unconvincingly, as if she had been stabbed in a painful spot.
"Let's see! She and I have already made a bet. If I get first place in the final exam this time... hum!"
Having said this, the little beaver raised the corners of his mouth happily, and his face was filled with confidence.
But having said that, there was still a hint of deep worry and confusion in Hermione's bright brown eyes.
"I don't know what the white-haired dumpling was thinking. Even if he wasn't interested in the public trial, he wouldn't have taken advantage of that time to sneak to Hogsmeade to play, and was later caught during the roll call - although
No points were deducted, but she was forced to be in solitary confinement every day, and even her position as an assistant in the Potions class was suspended at the suggestion of Professor Dumbledore."
"There's nothing you can do about it, Elena is too famous...it's hard to escape without being discovered in that kind of situation..."
Hearing Hermione talk about this, Hagrid grinned and shrugged his shoulders.
I couldn't help but think back to the little episode that happened at Hogwarts after the public trial ended some time ago.
…………
With the end of that public trial, some small changes occurred in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Of course, for the vast majority of Hogwarts students, this public trial is not something to be happy about. Just the review that Professor Dumbledore arranged before the trial was enough to make the children happy.
The wizards have a headache.
But the worst thing is that since most of the adult wizards took the time to arrive at the school to witness the trial, the school took this rare opportunity to hold a Hogwart meeting directly on the Quidditch pitch on the afternoon after the trial.
The first "parents meeting" in the history of Ci Magic School.
Although at the beginning, the purpose of holding a "parents meeting" was just to drag the Ministry of Magic and most of the wizards into Hogwarts as much as possible, and buy time for Elena to deal with Gringotts Wizarding Bank.
.
However, as professors from various subjects, deans of colleges, and even faculty members such as Argus Filch and Rubeus Hagrid started chatting with students’ parents, everyone found that this kind of communication model was indeed quite necessary.
On the one hand, each family understands the learning status of their children in school, and on the other hand, professors also know many of the problems that students may have.
As for little wizards like Hermione who were born in Muggle families, the school later compiled the relevant parent-teacher meeting minutes and mailed them to the guardians of each child through owl messenger for home-school communication.
The professors present were like celebrities, becoming the focus of the crowd.
Even Sybill Trelawney, the divination professor who was always unpopular and unconvinced, was surrounded by middle-aged wizard aunts with nervous faces, as well as little witches with equally nervous faces.
As for those parents who could not squeeze into the crowd for the time being, they also showed their talents and took their children through the crowd. They skillfully found the prefects of their respective colleges, the presidents of the student unions, or the children of familiar wizard friends to gather together to exchange educational experiences.
.
In addition, Ministry of Magic officials and media reporters who have been eager to increase their social circle and learn more about Hogwarts are also attending this unique "Hogwarts Parents' Meeting in the First Half of 1992"
Much gained.
Especially after the house elves at Hogwarts provided a "Hogwarts-style" dinner to all the wizards present, many parents, media reporters and Ministry of Magic officials expressed that this form of parenting
The meeting should be maintained as a tradition, preferably once every semester.
Cornelius Fudge, the Minister of Magic, even promised on the spot that when the next parents' meeting is held, the Ministry of Magic will fully assist Hogwarts in completing the invitations to some Muggle parents and treat it as a British magical institution.
Treat the important administrative projects of the industry every year.
All in all, except for the little wizards who forced themselves to smile, the atmosphere of the entire "parents meeting" was quite friendly.
As for a certain fairy queen who originally expected to use this "parents meeting" as a cover, she finally fell into the hole dug by herself - for her, the legendary "other people's child", almost all adult wizards will
Ask a question or two curiously, or plan to see with your own eyes whether the "baby cabbage" grown in the orphanage is delicious, and whether you want your children to learn more from her.
Of course, Elena, who originally planned to sneak back to the Quidditch pitch, could only bear the pain and blame herself, and sat obediently in the "Three Broomsticks Pub" in Hogsmeade Village next to the school, waiting.
"Professor Albus Dumbledore" who learned the news in advance notified "Professor Otto Apocalypse" to capture her.
You must know that watching this public trial is treated as Hogwarts' class time. In other words... this behavior is equivalent to openly skipping class, and it is skipping class witnessed by the entire magical world...
that's all……
The first time Her Majesty, the Supreme Fairy Queen, appeared in the sight of the entire wizarding world was when she was declared solitary for skipping classes at Hogwarts under the witness of nearly 10,000 wizards - fortunately, those who knew
Not much.
…………
at the same time.
Hogwarts, in an empty classroom on the eighth floor of the castle.
"Ah, this may be a black spot in my life!"
Elena threw away the quill in her hand, threw it down into the pile of parchment on the table, let out a feeble wail for an unknown number of times, and looked helplessly at the sky outside the window.
The sky is clear and blue, like the color of forget-me-not flowers, and there is a smell of approaching summer in the air.
The continuous rainy weather in the Scottish Highlands has finally ended. This is the best weather Elena has encountered at Hogwarts in the past few months. However, no matter how bright the weather outside is, it is not the same as Elena's today.
any relationship.
Because everyone knows that she is still in the "confinement period".
For Elena, it may be more accurate to describe it as "the Queen's working hours" or "correction memorials".
Since becoming the Goblin Queen of Gringotts Wizarding Bank, Elena has had to personally clean up the mess she made before, most of which came from the liquidation and takeover of Gringotts' original assets.
As well as re-examining external investment projects, determining a new bank currency system, and adjusting personnel and organizational structures...
Although she has the help of Douglas, Leos and others, as the final decision-maker on many important decisions, Elena still has a heavy workload even if she just issues some macro guidance and signs for confirmation.
After all, she had just joined Gringotts Wizarding Bank not long ago, and the foundation had not been completely laid, so she had to keep an eye on many things personally.
Strictly speaking, the classroom she is in now is not a confinement room that is usually used to punish students, but an exclusive classroom that was re-cleaned and decorated directly from the abandoned classroom where she played piano music when she first came to school.
office.
The black Steinway grand piano that belonged to Grindelwald is still placed quietly in front of the classroom by the window. The sofa stool has been magically adjusted to be the most comfortable height for Elena, so that she can play the piano at any time to relieve her boredom.
Behind the piano, the place where all kinds of debris were originally accumulated has been cleared out and turned into a small independent office divided into a rest area and an office area. The rest area and office area are connected together, lying on the half arc.
By rolling it sideways on the shaped tabletop, you can reach out and touch the snacks placed on the nearest coffee table.
The only highlight of British cuisine is their beautiful and comfortable afternoon tea culture.
At this point, the house elves at Hogwarts have undoubtedly shown their due professionalism. With just a little help from Elena, they can easily make biscuit baking based on the original ones.
Desserts she wanted to eat.
After lying on the table for a while like a salted fish that had lost its dream, Elena rolled to the edge of the table, looking at the pile of exquisite pastries on the small coffee table, thinking about which cookies should be eliminated to soothe herself.
of sadness.
"Fortunately, I have my cute little snacks, otherwise how would I be able to live like this..."
Elena hung her fingers in the air and picked it, muttering softly, making a cute sound.
"Soda crackers, whole wheat crackers, pretzels, butter shortbread, chocolate chip cookies, waffle wafers, coconut tile cookies, macaroons, yogurt fruit sandwich cookies... Well, I decided, this time
