Hannah frowned, returned to human form from the koala state, and looked at the newspaper in Hermione's hand, "What does this mean?"
Hermione quickly glanced at the pink toad who was still talking to Dumbledore, and whispered:
"Magical education is at the threshold of a new era. Steady and correct guidance of educational reform is the core demand of the Ministry of Magic. Therefore, at an interim senior ministers' meeting last week, the Ministry of Magic passed a new decree "22
"Education Order" to strengthen the control of the wizarding community over the process of Hogwarts' new curriculum standards, thereby better safeguarding the reform of magical education levels."
"Escort? They almost caught the professor in Azkaban." Hannah raised her eyebrows and said with a strange expression.
"Wait, the real highlight is here." Hermione said with a straight face.
"It is reported that the Senior Inquisitor exists as a member of the faculty team of Hogwarts and is not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Magic. She has the right to review her fellow faculty members to ensure that they all meet basic teaching standards. Professor Umbridge has
She was awarded this position in addition to her teaching position. Considering the importance of the teaching reform of the new curriculum standards, she decided to temporarily step down from her position as senior deputy minister and devote herself entirely to teaching and review."
"These new measures from the Ministry of Magic and Professor Umbridge's decision quickly received enthusiastic support and praise from parents of Hogwarts students."
"'My admiration is beyond words to learn that Professor Umbridge has chosen to return to teaching.' Mr. Lucius Malfoy, now thirty-nine, spoke at his Wiltshire home last night.
Di Li said, 'The teaching of the Defense Against the Dark Arts course at Hogwarts has always lacked systematic guidance. Now that we know that Professor Umbridge has not been affected by the previous rumors, we are relieved.'
"
"The so-called rumors undoubtedly refer to Deputy Minister Umbridge's emergency arrest operation against Quirinus Quirrell last week. The Ministry of Magic had a lot of controversy and overstepped its authority in that operation. This newspaper has previously reported
There have been relevant reports and reviews.”
"On the other hand, in a recent impromptu operation initiated by Deputy Minister Dolores Umbridge, the Ministry of Magic successfully raided three unregistered illegal werewolf gathering points to control the werewolf population in the UK.
The intensity has reached an unprecedented level. The Merlin Siren's Jury is discussing the awarding of honors, and the Anti-Dark Arts Alliance recently announced that Ms. Umbridge will become their honorary lifetime member..."
Hermione glanced at the contents at the back, shrugged her shoulders, rolled up the newspaper and placed it next to the plate.
"Well, the following is about touting her major in Defense Against the Dark Arts, which is nothing nutritious. There are only two core points. She can now review and even fire the professor; and, the success of fighting against werewolves has offset the previous controversial behavior. By the way,
Let her become an anti-black pioneer."
"Fire the professor?! I can't believe it. This right is so terrifying!"
After listening to Hermione's voice broadcast, Ginny looked shocked and looked at Hermione with rapid breathing, waiting for the follow-up in-depth interpretation.
However, this time she was obviously disappointed.
Because the confusion in Hermione Granger's eyes was no less than hers.
Hermione frowned and looked at Elena.
She originally thought that after last week's disastrous defeat at the hands of Professor Apokalis, Professor Umbridge would at least keep a low profile for a while even if she returned to Hogwarts. Who knew that from now on, the Ministry of Magic's view of Hogwarts
Ci's interference only intensified.
Isn’t this too unreasonable? Are all Ministry of Magic officials under the Oblivion Curse?!
"Generally speaking, when you make a mistake, there are two ways to deal with it."
Elena picked up the napkin and wiped her mouth, slowly raised two fingers and said softly.
"Repent and find ways to make amends, admit your mistakes and apologize but continue to go your own way, but for the politicians of the Ministry of Magic, the first option will greatly reduce their reputation, and the second option will be questioned as incompetent and corrupt. So, now there is only one answer left.
…try every possible means to prove that you are right.”
"This is the rule of survival in the political arena. Hermione, if you plan to enter the Ministry of Magic in the future, you must learn these things."
"No, I will never consider entering politics in my life." Hermione refused without hesitation.
"Oh, maybe"
Elena glanced at the future Minister of Magic in the original world line, shrugged noncommittally, and continued with a smile.
"However, the addition of a senior investigator is a good thing, especially for the current Hogwarts."
"What's the meaning?"
"Hogwarts now has a full eight grades. At present, in addition to the flying class that is only available in the first grade, there are now a total of nine compulsory courses, which is 72 different syllabuses... If class factors are taken into account
, then you have to multiply it by two, that’s 144.”
After consultation and discussion, grammar and mathematics courses were temporarily divided into compulsory courses.
Perhaps it will be subdivided and adjusted accordingly in the future, but within a short period of time, it should still become one of the nightmares for students.
After a slight pause, Elena glanced at the course selection reference sheet she had just received from Cedric.
"...Then, there are currently six elective courses, and the first and second years are optional courses. Calculated in this way, there are about 36 different syllabuses. If the compulsory courses are included, there are now about 108 to 180
Completely different syllabus planning.”
"On the other hand, due to the new curriculum standards and the current status of the new curriculum reform, many courses have enriched a lot of content based on the original ones. Therefore..."
"Therefore, Professor Umbridge alone cannot take care of all the courses at Hogwarts at the same time?"
Hermione nodded thoughtfully and asked tentatively based on Elena's words.
"Completely correct"
Elena snapped her fingers, Daimao shook her head proudly, and whispered happily.
"But outside the school, whether it is the magical society, the school board or the Ministry of Magic, they don't think so. According to the current rules, if you fail to raise questions or raise questions this semester, then it will be regarded as passing the first-term acceptance. What's more,
Professor Umbridge has her own courses..."
"In short, it doesn't matter if you don't understand it after the explanation. It won't be tested in the exam anyway."
Ginny and Hannah turned their heads and looked at Elena, and then at Hermione, still with blank expressions on their faces.
However, compared to the other two little idiots, Miss "Calculation Girl" obviously understood the explanation and nodded gently thoughtfully.
It makes more sense to think about it this way. This is a teaching game between Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic.
Umbridge's rights, and the damage she can cause, are not as great as they seem.
No matter how great the censorship right is, it will eventually be limited by time and energy constraints and cannot be truly liberated.
If she focuses on examining subjects that have undergone more changes, she will have to spend a lot of energy trying to understand the new knowledge.
Maybe Umbridge doesn't have to grasp the concepts as accurately as students, but she at least has to rely on certain knowledge points to raise objections. This is not an easy task. It is foreseeable that many of her attacks may also follow.
"Course Correction" Easily Resolved.
On the other hand, judging from the information Elena just disclosed, Hogwarts should be planning to split the subject grades.
This means that if Umbridge wants to stop or even fire a professor, the scope of her review must cover all the courses that the professor is responsible for, otherwise her "evidence" may only be able to terminate her
Curriculum for the grade levels being reviewed.
After all, this school year is almost halfway through, and the long Christmas vacation will soon come, and Professor Umbridge doesn't have much time left.
"Okay, stop frowning and thinking about these unimportant things, let's study how to choose courses."
Elena clapped her hands and ended the discussion about pink toads. It is better not to talk about disgusting things while eating.
"There is only one section of Fantastic Beasts to choose from every week, so it is best to grab it directly... This time the course selection is for the first and second grade students together. The competition is not small. It is best to make a decision before the end of breakfast."
You can also consider studying melons, and studying ancient runes is also recommended..."
"Research on ancient runes?" Ginny was stunned for a few seconds.
Ancient runes are a type of writing used by wizards hundreds of years ago. In her impression, this course and History of Magic are the two major hypnosis courses at Hogwarts. After all, not many people would think that studying ancient runes would
The magic manuscript of words and their associated translations is an interesting thing.
Anyway, almost no one in Gryffindor House will take this course after entering their third year.
"Well, Elena and I's strength and healing abilities all come from the magical effects of the runes, breast..."
Hannah nodded and took the initiative to explain happily, picking up a metal spoon and bending it into a bracelet as easily as plasticine.
"But I'm not sure whether it will be taught in class, because these contents are actually hiss."
"There are many secrets hidden in ancient magic texts. It is not only power, but more importantly, the inheritance of ancient knowledge."
Elena calmly released her hand from Hannah's waist and continued quickly, "Anyway, Hannah, you must sign up for the ancient magic text course. You lack basic system understanding.
On the other hand, everyone in Muggle Studies had better not be left behind."
"Muggle Studies...do we also need to take it as an elective?"
Hermione frowned, slid her fingers on the parchment a few times, and said hesitantly.
"This course is mainly open to children from wizarding families, right? From a wizard's perspective to understand Muggles, I heard that most of the content in the class is some basic common sense of life. In comparison, I am more curious about divination and divination.
Arithmancy"
If a wizard wants to work in Muggle liaison after graduation, he must obtain excellent results in Muggle Studies (beginning with senior wizards), but there is an exception to this requirement if the wizard is born in the Muggle world
, which is the so-called Muggle wizard in the magic world, then this layer of screening indicators can be skipped by default, and it is directly equivalent to excellent results in Muggle Studies.
Therefore, for Hermione, what she needs to consider more is whether class time is meaningful.
You know, there are a total of six elective courses open to Hogwarts this round.
From a time point of view, even if the selection is full from Monday to Friday, a student can only choose up to four elective courses. The course selection schedule is based on the official schedule for third-year students. Since the original course conflicts must also be taken into consideration, lower grade students can
The only options available are in the afternoon and part of the evening.
"Divination? Arithmancy?"
Elena repeated softly with a subtle expression and shook her head slightly.
"Unfortunately, you may have to consider giving up one subject. Muggle Studies in the future may be different from what you imagined. The confrontation between Professor Umbridge and Professor Quirrell, and this period of time at Hogwarts
The teaching changes, the reaction of the Ministry of Magic, and...well, combined with some information you know from outside the school...Hermione, you are so smart, you should be able to deduce what is happening in magic education, right?"
"Magic and science are trying to merge?" Hermione whispered.
"That's right."
"I understand, then I'll choose divination."
Hermione's eyes lingered on the course selection list in her hand for a few seconds before she finally made up her mind.
She took out a pen from her schoolbag and marked √ on the four courses: Muggle Studies, Magical Zoology, Ancient Rune Studies, and Divination.
Arithmetic divination can wait until next semester, after all, she still has a mathematics class. As for the mysterious divination science, Hermione has always had high expectations and curiosity, especially after meeting Elena and Luna, she gradually
Believe that metaphysics may exist.
"But, if you choose Muggle Studies..."
Ginny said hesitantly, subconsciously raising her head and looking at the staff seats at the end of the auditorium.
"Now that Professor Umbridge is back, what about Professor Quirrell's next class?"
"What are you worried about? Professor Ginny Umbridge captures Professor Quirrell again, or fires Professor Quirrell, and then everyone doesn't have to hand in Muggle Studies homework for the next week? Don't forget, even then, there is still
There is Professor Apokalis who can take over the class."
Hannah grinned, rubbed Ginny's cheek like Elena did, and continued.
"If you tell me, it would be great to see her get beaten every once in a while without having to go to class or hand in homework. To be honest, I can't wait to see Professor Apokalis being censored.
, that must be quite interesting!”
Since Professor Apokalis easily defeated the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic with one against six, this old castle administrator who didn't say much, was low-key and domineering quickly replaced Dumbledore and became the new idol among the students.
.
Many students even began to imitate the old devil's movements and lines.
As the first Disciplinary Committee member of Hogwarts, Hannah's biggest wish is that one day Professor Apokalis can take over the teaching again.
You know, Professor Apokalis never assigns homework after class.
"Professor Umbridge is not that stupid..."
Hermione rolled her eyes at Hannah, looking at Hanhan as if she were an idiot, and refrained from pouring cold water on her.
"Okay, hurry up. If you want to choose a few more courses, you have to hand in the form this morning and go to class later. If Professor Umbridge happens to inspect our class in the first round, and
You happen to be late, so that might not be great, right?"
