From Azkaban To Hogwarts

"Professor William, please wait a moment."

When William was about to leave the restaurant and go back to prepare for his first class, Professor McGonagall, who was surrounded by a group of students, saw William who was about to leave.

"What's the matter, Professor?"

Professor McGonagall pushed through the crowd and walked over quickly.

"Sorry, Professor William, can you make some changes to the enrollment restrictions for advanced classes?" the professor lowered his voice and asked in a consultative tone.

"Change? Isn't Good (E) a tradition for previous professors to recruit students?"

"It's like this. In the past, the position of professor of wizard self-defense magic learning in the school was quite nervous, so..."

William immediately understood what Professor McGonagall meant.

The sixth grade at Hogwarts is different from other grades.

When students are in fifth grade, the Ministry of Magic will send examiners to conduct an exam called O.W.Ls, and then these exam results will be sent to the Ministry of Magic, the school, and the professor himself for filing.

Before the sixth grade, all courses are either electives or compulsory courses, with no threshold at all. However, in the sixth grade, professors have the right to reject students based on their O.W.Ls test scores, and students can also choose courses based on their own scores - Theory To put it bluntly, if you don't care about subsequent grades, you can still get a diploma by not taking any classes at all in the sixth and seventh years of school.

But in fact, except for a small number of positions, places that directly recruit fresh graduates from schools have more or less strict requirements on students' academic performance. O.W.Ls certificates alone are not enough, and higher-level N.E.W.Ts are also required. Come with certificates and corresponding scores.

But if William is unwilling to recruit students with weak grades, then the students will not be able to obtain the corresponding advanced certificates.

"Then just keep your grade as low as possible, even passing (A) is fine."

William magnanimously set the entry threshold to the minimum requirements of the Ministry of Magic. Anyway, he only chases one person and lets go of a group.

"That's really troublesome for you, Professor William. The foundation of this course in major schools is really too weak. However, many professions still require corresponding certificates. There are seven or eight children in my college alone who are stuck here. The class has started.”

Professor McGonagall had a rare expression of embarrassment on her face - her own threshold for the advanced class was all E. If it weren't for the fact that the students at the school had such a poor foundation in Defense Against the Dark Arts, the students who were stuck this time There are too many, and she will never ask other professors to lower their admission threshold.

——

When William came to the classroom, he realized that it was wise for him to let go.

In the entire Hogwarts, including the extra students he recruited, there were less than twenty students in the entire sixth grade who could take his class.

‘Not enough to play football. ’

He complained while calming down.

This number of students alone does not pose any pressure at all, and the words of self-introduction that were originally prepared can be saved for the next time.

"There were a little less people than I thought."

William walked to the podium with a smile and put the textbook he brought on the table.

"To be honest, the scene now is different from what I expected - I originally planned to wait in the classroom for you to come in and get to know each other, but the way to Hogwarts is a little harder to find than I thought."

"Professor, you have never been to Hogwarts?"

There were exclamations of surprise from the students below, and William used his peripheral vision to remember the appearance of the person who made the noise - he was very active in thinking and could scare other monkeys by making too much noise.

But William had no intention of hiding this in the first place - he looked so young that senior students could easily figure out the fact that they had never seen this professor at Hogwarts after asking each other.

"No, before the establishment of Hogwarts, wizards were taught by masters, apprentices or families, and it has never been discontinued. I went to that kind of education."

The students below suddenly started whispering to each other. William ignored the noise below and asked:

"Eh? Have you ever seriously studied the history of magic? A simple question - does anyone know how many magic schools there are besides Hogwarts?"

"I know, I know." The boy who was the most aggressive earlier raised his hand.

"You come."

"Durmstrang, Beauxbatons, Ilvermorny, Castrobusher...well..."

After talking for a long time, the big student was holding back.

"The Institute of Magic, Wagadu, Kodos Ryze...including Hogwarts, there are a total of eleven magic schools."

A small girl with a confident face sat down to complete the rest of the school, and then looked at all the classmates like a proud little hen.

"Perfect complement, Ravenclaw?"

William asked, clapping his hands.

"Yes, Charlotte, a sixth-year Ravenclaw."

"Ten points for Ravenclaw." William said with certainty, turning his head to look at the big man who had appeared earlier.

"Gryffindor?"

"No, Professor, Hufflepuff."

"Oh, sorry, five points Hufflepuff. What's your name?"

"Bell Turner, Professor."

"Very good, thank you for your answer, Mr. Turner -" William picked up the chalk, turned around and wrote the eleven schools on the blackboard.

"As you can see, there are eleven schools. The magical world is surprisingly large. However, I am not going to introduce those schools to you here - to be honest, I know them as well as most of you. I just read the information about these places in writing.”

"Of course, these materials alone are enough for me to survive for half a semester - but these don't seem to have anything to do with our courses. Although I have never met the professor of the History of Magic, it is obviously impossible for me to compete with him for a job, right? ?”

The students below laughed softly.

"Okay, today is the first lesson. Let's use this lesson today to talk about what we are going to learn."

"discuss?"

Bell, as someone who had been praised, consciously cooperated.

"Yes, discussion," William nodded in approval and erased the school name on the blackboard.

"I suggest that the school change the name of the course, but generally the content of the course remains the same. Wizard self-defense magic learning - to be honest, I find this name difficult to pronounce."

"Now, let's talk about so-called self-defense."

William said as he turned to face the blackboard.

“Protection for physical safety and protection for property safety, if we further divide them carefully, there are only these four types.”

"Prevent other wizards from being hurt by sneak attacks, prevent magical creatures or herbs from being hurt, protect yourself in emergencies, and prevent your property from being damaged."

When the fourth word was written, the students below laughed out loud.

William shrugged, "You think the fourth one doesn't seem to fit in well, and it's a bit of a tie-in, but its importance is undoubted, and it may even be the most important one among the four topics."
