Chapter 809 The new Hogwarts (middle) (big chapter!)
Obviously, this huge announcement will not only appear in Ravenclaw House.
In the common rooms of the other three colleges, those students who got up a little later will soon find that the notice boards in their common rooms are crowded with people, and the little wizards are talking about this seemingly unexpected news.
announcement.
"Jiangjang, please. I'm the prefect, don't squeeze in here..."
In the Gryffindor lounge, Percy Weasley pushed through the crowd, walked quickly to the bulletin board, and read the words on it loudly to more and more students, while driving away those who were surrounded.
The students in the innermost section walked downstairs.
【Temporary suspension notice】
[As a designated education pilot by the Ministry of Magic, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry will launch a new teaching model this week. The new curriculum and format will be announced at the banquet tonight. Therefore, today’s daytime classes will be temporarily canceled—
—]
"Oh, great!" Ron Weasley excitedly nudged Harry beside him with his elbow, "Today was originally a full day of classes! Now we can play chess for a while and then take the
Your new broom went to the golf course to take a look!"
[At that time, all students must go to the auditorium on time to greet the new professors who have joined Hogwarts, and then receive the new course schedule after the welcome banquet and re-formulate subsequent study plans. In addition, students in third grade and above need to
Additional two-way re-selection of courses will be carried out, and the details will be notified separately by the deans and prefects of each college.]
"Both directions... re-select courses?"
Angelina Johnson frowned and said with some confusion, "It seems like the professors under the new teaching model will also select some students? This is not entirely good news..."
"I hope the great writer will just eliminate me, otherwise we will have to wait at least a year."
Fred Weasley spread his hands and sighed,
"Great writer? What happened... Oh, too bad! I can't go to class today!"
Hermione Granger happened to walk out of the dormitory, and her eyes immediately fell on the huge notice.
She finally reorganized the course and previewed it last night, preparing to face off against a certain white-haired dumpling again in class today. Now her "Demon King Challenge Plan" has to be postponed again.
"It's Professor Lockhart," George Weasley explained. "He gave each of us fourth graders a long-term homework assignment yesterday. We wrote a diary every day and gave it to him for correction on the weekends. And he also
The word count is limited to no less than 500 words. In addition, a review of "Walking with Trolls" of more than 1,200 words must be submitted to him..."
"Who is a serious person who can write a diary?! Besides, if it is written down, can it be said from the heart?"
Fred Weasley snorted dissatisfiedly, his face full of resentment.
After one class, they quickly discovered the most annoying class in the castle—Gilderoy Lockhart’s Chinese class—which alone was more annoying and cumbersome than the big cat in the basement.
bat.
"The professor just wants to develop our written expression skills..."
Hermione raised her chin slightly proudly and corrected her seriously with some displeasure.
"Besides, George, Fred, the quality of your previous submissions to "The Quibbler" was indeed very poor. I mean, your ability to control words really needs to be honed. As for your thoughts after reading it - you should have read the professor's book - I think
Think of the amazing things he did, and it's very rare to have a wizard willing to share these valuable experiences."
"Spare us, Miss Model Student. You are saying exactly what Bill and Percy said."
Fred Weasley shook his head helplessly and made a face at Hermione.
Although Hermione is only a second-year student, due to last year's textbook "Poisonous Mushroom Rescue", as well as the end-of-year cross-grade exam, being the editor of "The Quibbler" and other factors, Hermione is now very popular in Gryffindor House.
Low, especially towards the end of the semester, when she was almost half a "shadow" female prefect.
"Professor Lockhart himself said that there are many exaggerations and falsehoods in those stories, and they are not taken seriously..."
George Weasley muttered under his breath that he didn't like Lockhart very much either.
It's just that compared to his twin brother, George still has a bit of hostility towards Lockhart that he can't explain why. This may be because since Lockhart arrived, Prefect "Peach" has obviously been hostile to him.
Disliked a lot.
"That's just the professor's humble words," Lavender raised his eyebrows and looked at George with a worried expression.
Compared with the mixed reviews among boys, Gilderoy Lockhart's reviews among girls at Hogwarts are generally quite good, even those little witches who already have boyfriends.
Secretly talk about the new professor.
After all, mature wizards who are good-looking and talk cheerfully are very rare in Hogwarts.
"Do you think Professor Dumbledore would hire a bombastic person as a professor? Now I feel that the professor must have many unwritten adventures, for example, some of his secret positions in the Ministry of Magic..."
To the surprise of George Weasley, Ron, who usually hates homework, did not agree with this matter. Instead, he turned his head and exchanged a meaningful look with Harry, thinking thoughtfully.
Said softly.
You know, at the end of last semester, he, Harry and Percy witnessed Gilderoy Lockhart leading a group of "Ministry of Magic Secret Aurors" to capture Peter Pettigrew in the dormitory.
Scenes.
Although they cannot disclose this operation to the public due to the principle of confidentiality that some people have never heard of, this does not prevent Ron and several people from secretly guessing and trying to figure out the true identity of Gilderoy Lockhart - in the dark
The name Wizard (WIB) sounds very cool, and Ron and Harry even ignited their enthusiasm to study hard.
Of course, at that time, they had no idea that this ridiculously young wizard would become their teacher.
"Secret duty? Anyway, I haven't heard my father say that. Maybe it's really like this..."
Fred glanced at Ron, who was standing not far from Lavender, and shrugged noncommittally, without arguing.
Unlike George and Ron, he doesn't have to say good things to his girlfriend without conscience. Angelina Johnson is obviously one of the very few girls who will not be deceived by Gilderoy Lockhart's appearance - from the beginning to the end anyway.
In the end, he didn't even think about choosing courses on his own. He just copied Angelina Johnson's class schedule.
"Speaking of which, don't you find it strange? Regarding this announcement and the welcome banquet."
Not getting involved in the argument between his brothers, Charlie Weasley crossed his arms and frowned thoughtfully.
"There will be new professors every once in a while, and curriculum reform is nothing new, but... I really can't imagine what kind of wizard, and what kind of curriculum reform, is worthy of the entire Hogwarts school suspending classes to adjust and welcome?
"
Perhaps these children who are still in school will not think there is anything wrong.
But in the eyes of Charlie, who has been involved in society and has been working for a period of time, many of the words in this announcement are even more confusing than the content itself. What makes him even more strange is that when faced with this announcement,
At that time, the eldest brother of the family, Bill Weasley, didn't seem to be surprised at all, as if... he knew something in advance.
In fact, Charlie Weasley even vaguely felt that the handwriting on the bulletin board felt strangely familiar.
It's almost like...
Charlie Weasley subconsciously turned his head and looked at the figure standing on the edge of the spiral staircase, yawning and quietly looking at the noisy crowd below - Bill Weasley, the eldest child in their Weasley family.
"It seems that I was discovered a little bit. If I had known, I wouldn't have helped little Charlie copy his homework when he was a child."
Noticing his brother's gaze, Bill scratched his hair helplessly and sighed with a slight headache.
Ever since Charlie began to turn his interest to the study of fire dragons, the child's ability in intuition has skyrocketed. He has long known that his manuscript cannot be hidden from Charlie, after all, Charlie is too familiar with his handwriting and writing style.
He had to admit that sometimes he really envied these wizards who were talented in the field of magical animal research, just like Mr. Newt Scamander. They were always good at magnifying some unusual details - it was almost like
It's like some magical creatures that hunt by instinct. Even if there is no direct evidence, they can follow their instinct to lock on the target.
Bill raised his finger and made a gesture to his lips, showing a mysterious smile.
"Shh-"
[Is Gringotts also involved? Could it be that there is an old goblin among the new professors?]
Charlie Weasley raised his eyebrows and thought to himself.
As the first "magical graduate student" in the history of Hogwarts, he didn't think that the school's purpose of inviting them, the old graduates, back was just to make up for some math and Chinese - the answer probably lies in this
Announcement in progress.
Forget it, anyway, just finish it for a year...
Charlie withdrew his gaze and shook his head without interest, not having much desire to get to the bottom of it.
Anyway, these were courses for children, so he really couldn't muster much energy.
If it weren't for the admission notice from Hogwarts and the persuasion of his parents and colleagues, he had no intention of leaving Dragon Island and going back to school - there was no way to have fun raising dragons in school.
Unless the black dragon can be tamed and studied in Hogwarts...
But this is obviously impossible. If fire dragons can soar freely over the Scottish Highlands, then he will not go to the remote Hesidian Islands after graduation to study fire dragons on the edge of that uninhabited civilization.
