Eight hundred and sixtieth chapters from Hermione's ominous foreboding
Even at the moment when new curriculum standards are being implemented, the lower grades of Hogwarts can still enjoy weekends for the time being.
Unlike senior students who have added minor courses and have to take extra classes on Saturdays, first and second graders can still comfortably huddle in the library, lounge, or lie in the shade of a tree by the lake at this time.
Next, I looked at the giant squid that occasionally surfaced and the Care of Magical Creatures class being conducted in the forest clearing in the distance.
Except of course Elena Kaslana.
She was detained by Horace Slughorn for openly cooking "white soup puffer fish" in Potions class, and spent Saturday afternoon in the Potions Master's office to reflect... This meant that her first weekend of school was wasted.
Already.
"...Hey, this is my first time in solitary confinement..."
Those bad wizards hiding in Hogwarts, such as Tom Riddle and Dolores Umbridge, may appear a little embarrassed because they have not experienced the complete Hogwarts life.
A regretful personality.
As for Elena, she obviously does not belong to the kind of wizard who lacks love, responsibility, and justice.
Just like the Harry Potter trio in the original work, even if they are put in solitary confinement, copied sentences, and deducted points every semester, whether they blow up cauldrons, steal things, or burn robes... But everyone knows that the three of them are righteous.
The good wizard.
Elena, who said goodbye to Quirinus Quirrell and finished inspecting her "territory", comforted herself like this while slowly returning to the entrance of Hogwarts Castle.
As expected, several other little wings were already waiting there.
In view of the mix of people in Academy City and the many secrets involved, no students except Elena can leave the gate of Hogwarts and go to the areas where the researchers are located. Professors and house elves of Hogwarts
, and even researchers from the former Soviet Union will be responsible for the implementation of this ban.
"So, what exactly is outside the school?"
Hannah Abbott stood on tiptoes and looked behind Elena, asking curiously.
"Luna said you received a Niffler. I have only seen it in books and never seen one alive! I heard that there is a small and exquisite nest and many small toys. Elena, what are you talking about?
Got a new little pet?”
"Oh, that... that's a large black-haired hamster, which Muggles like to keep."
Elena replied without hesitation, and the little silly hair on her head was extremely sincere, "Hogwarts is not suitable for it to live in, so I sent it outside the school. When I left, it ran happily in the cage.
Run away!"
"As for outside the school...well, it's not a secret anyway. I'll tell you a little bit in advance."
Elena paused for a moment, looked around warily, and whispered mysteriously.
"Well, most of those professors in the 'preparatory period' whose courses have not yet met the standards are now readjusting their teaching plans to prepare for the new round of assessments at Hogwarts. If the assessments are successful, the school will consider adding corresponding subjects in the future, such as
The biochemistry, physics, geography that you were exposed to last year... If you are interested, I can..."
"Not interested, I'm not interested at all! Elena, don't say such terrible things on the weekend!"
Hannah seemed to remember something extremely terrifying, and quickly shook her head in resistance.
Although those were difficult to pronounce, the wonderful "introductory knowledge of biology" helped her quickly master the runes.
But if Hannah Abbott was given a choice, she would still rather fall asleep in a warm and soft bed than to be woken up at a cold and hard library table talking about ATP and phosphoric acid. It was too scary.
On the contrary, Hermione Granger frowned slightly in thought.
Judging from Bai Mao Tuanzi's stupid reaction, this is at least a "superficially" true description.
In other words, those who live outside the school are indeed "reserve professors". Since there are no wizards capable of teaching this knowledge in the magical world, the true identities of these "professors" are naturally self-evident.
.
In the magic school Hogwarts, will non-magical scholars be introduced on a large scale?
Hermione Granger felt a twinge of uneasiness in her heart.
However, she didn't know where this unreasonable uneasiness came from.
Judging from the current situation, whether it is Dumbledore, the Ministry of Magic, the school board... all the symbols that represent the authority of the wizarding world are almost without exception involved in this education reform project, and even, there are hidden secrets behind it.
With the full cooperation of Gringotts Wizarding Bank, this brings together almost all the power and voices in the wizarding world.
But...Hermione's eyes swept over Luna's face, which looked normal.
The witch with the strongest premonition ability among them did not show any uneasiness.
But for some reason, Hermione became more and more confused. She clearly felt that she seemed to have caught some dangerous tail, Elena, or even something that Dumbledore might have overlooked...
"Hey, Hermione, why are you looking so worried?"
Hannah screamed strangely and turned her head to look at Hermione, as if she was meeting this "know-it-all" lady for the first time.
"This is not like your style. Didn't you complain yesterday that the course was too easy and hoped for more new content?"
In Hannah's impression, unlike ordinary "ordinary people" like them, Hermione's strong thirst for knowledge is almost like the flame of a phoenix that never goes out when faced with those troublesome esoteric knowledge.
You know, even Elena can be impatient sometimes, but Hermione is not.
Hermione Granger suppressed the worry on her face, shook her head, and said softly.
"It's not because of this, I just suddenly had an ominous premonition, but I can't explain why. Anyway, let's take this white-haired dumpling to the solitary confinement first. Horace Slughorn is probably already in the office.
."
"Eh?! An ominous premonition?"
Elena raised her eyebrows in surprise and curled her lips in a strange way.
Hermione Granger nodded seriously.
"Yes, Elena, I suggest you ask Professor Dumbledore to review the case again. Moreover, you'd better stay in the office obediently when you are in solitary confinement, and don't... you know...
I feel something is wrong."
"...Okay, okay, I have always been a good and obedient girl."
Elena nodded helplessly and said perfunctorily.
If Luna Lovegood said that, she might think about it a little bit.
But in Elena's impression, Miss Hermione Granger's talent in "Sky Eye" has always been quite weak. "I have an unknown premonition" comes from Hermione.
It was so weird coming out of my mouth.
Moreover, it is different from those previous shameful "expansion of the Dark Lord's power".
This time's new curriculum standard plan is an aboveboard reform of magic education that is recognized by all walks of life.
Regarding Professor Horace Slughorn's plan, the roster has been arranged. There is really no need to stop at this time, and apart from some cooperation, Elena does not intend to let anyone go.
The old professor saw too much core content.
"Don't worry, I will admit my mistakes properly in the office and won't mess around..."
A moment later, standing at the door of Professor Horace Slughorn's office, Elena pinched Hermione's nose affectionately and said with a smile, then opened the office door and walked into the room with the flickering firelight of the fireplace.
warm room.
However, wait until the door is closed again.
Elena raised her head and looked at the two old wizards sitting by the fireplace, but the first thing she said was:
"Professor Slughorn, have you heard of the [Special Containment Procedures Foundation]..."
