Harry Potter’s Raven’s Claw

"Professor Flitwick?!"

Hermione called out in surprise. She had always thought that Professor McGonagall was the best candidate to become the new headmaster, but she did not expect that the one who really came out on top was their Charms professor.

But she reacted quickly.

The relationship between Professor Flitwick and Mike is very clear to everyone here, and it is normal for Mike to choose to make Professor Flitwick the President.

After all, Professor Flitwick is someone that Mike really trusts, and other people in Hogwarts also have a good impression of Professor Flitwick. It is better to choose him than someone you don't know.

Having said that, Hermione still felt worthless for Professor McGonagall. In her opinion, Professor McGonagall was much better than Professor Flitwick.

For a time, she looked at the long table of the staff and her eyes became a little lower.

At this moment, the diminutive Professor Flitwick took a roll of parchment and jumped from a special high chair beside the long table of the staff, and walked slowly to the front of the podium.

The glittering lectern was still the version dedicated to Dumbledore, which was just right for Dumbledore, who was over 1.8 meters tall, but not so friendly to Professor Flitwick.

He looked up at the table and couldn't help frowning.

At this time, Filch, who had been hiding in the corner, suddenly trotted up with a wooden box.

This poor Squib looks pretty good now, but the clothes on him are still tattered.

And the reason why he appeared here is entirely because Mike rehired him for Dumbledore's sake.

I saw him respectfully put the wooden box in front of Professor Flitwick, carefully straighten it, and stabilize it. After Professor Flitwick stood up and nodded his thanks, he ran off the stage excitedly.

Perhaps because he was too excited, Filch's running posture became a little weird and funny, which made everyone in the audience couldn't help laughing.

"Cough cough!"

A loud cough was uploaded from the podium, and the students immediately closed their mouths and focused on Professor Flitwick.

This is the hard lesson they learned after going through multiple principals last year - don't mess up when the principal is talking!

Seeing that everyone looked at him again,

Professor Flitwick nodded with satisfaction, and spread the roll of parchment on the podium.

The parchment was so long that its hem rolled straight off the lectern, fell to the ground and rolled out a long way.

This made the faces of the students in the audience darken.

They had already foreseen that what was going to greet them would be a long speech.

However, Flitwick gave them a surprise.

I saw Professor Flitwick frowning at the long parchment, and suddenly threw out the speech that Benjamin had specially prepared for him with a flick of his arm.

The audience was still silent, and no one understood what Professor Flitwick was doing, and in this dull atmosphere, Professor Flitwick finally said:

"Students, I, Filius Flitwick, your new principal! Now, let's eat."

As soon as Professor Flitwick finished speaking, a variety of fragrant delicacies appeared on the long table in front of everyone.

But everyone seemed to be stunned, staring blankly at the short figure and slowly walked back to their seats, and sat on the high chair with the help of Hege.

"Great!"

"Long live Professor Flitwick!"

"It's time to change your mind! It's Principal Flitwick!"

"Oh yeah!"

...

The whirring sounded abruptly on the long table of Ravenclaw College, and then the speed spread, and finally turned the entire auditorium into a sea of ​​joy!

The professors at the long table of the staff were taken aback, and Hagrid seemed to be so frightened that he bit his tongue, and now he was holding his cheeks and breathing heavily.

But soon, the surprise on their faces was replaced by a smile.

Because this was the first time they had seen the students so happy since Dumbledore's death.

Professor Flitwick was laughing too, but his smile was slightly bitter.

If he could, he really didn't want to be the principal.

He doesn't care about power at all, otherwise he wouldn't be here to be a little professor.

About this, Mike also knows, but Mike still insists on making Flitwick the principal.

This annoyed Flitwick.

Because this made Flitwick unsure how to deal with Professor McGonagall and other old friends.

In addition, due to the war, the number of high-end professors in Hogwarts has been greatly reduced, which has directly led to a surge in the workload of other professors.

In particular, Professor Flitwick, although he has become the headmaster, he still needs to be responsible for the teaching related to the Charms class and the work of the dean of Ravenclaw House.

This made Professor Flitwick even think that the reason why Mike let him be the principal was just because he wanted to toss him.

Although Mike has promised to find someone else as soon as possible to reduce Professor Flitwick's burden, Professor Flitwick will not change his mind until Mike's promise is fulfilled.

With a deep sigh, Flitwick finally stopped thinking wildly and concentrated on eating his own dinner as he watched the students who were immersed in the food as before, jubilant.

Happy times are always short-lived, and after everyone ate a round belly, Professor Flitwick finally ordered all the food to be removed.

This made the students below play smart, and all turned their attention to the podium.

They were well aware that the ensuing closing remarks for the evening were coming.

Sure enough, Professor Flitwick stood on the podium again. This time, he still held a long piece of parchment in his hand. The students in the audience all smiled when they saw this. They thought Professor Flitwick. The parchment will be thrown straight away as before.

But this time Flitwick disappointed them. He reached out and pushed the eye holder on his nose, and recited the content on the parchment with the students' disappointed eyes.

The speech this time was long, but it wasn't the garish nonsense that the students had expected, but the school rules and the content of this Hogwarts policy change.

The changes in the school rules are actually not big. In order to maintain an original Hogwarts, neither Mike nor Flitwick will allow anyone to change the rules of Hogwarts, so except for some things like 'Don't say Aside from new rules like the "Mud Clock" and "no blood discrimination", Hogwarts' school rules remain the same as they were.

Of course, although the rules haven't changed much, it's a new principal after all.

The students are expected to live in peace for a while over the next few months, until they test the limits of Professor Flitwick's tolerance before they return to their former lawlessness.

In other words, the next children will become more and more naughty, which is predictable, after all, compared to Professor McGonagall, Flitwick is too kind.

As for the education reform part, it is worth talking about.

Mike's improvements to Hogwarts this time are comprehensive. In the past, Hogwarts was funded by various school directors, but now it is different.

Mike directly deprives others of the right to fund Hogwarts. The Ministry of Magic, or the Los Santos Corporation, became the only source of funding for Hogwarts.

This change has made Hogwarts more pure, allowing students to be affected by capital as little as possible on campus.

This kind of change is difficult for ordinary people to see. They only know that Hogwarts has cancelled the special carriage for school managers on the express train, but they do not know that this means that the Ministry of Magic directly has the power to kill Hogwarts.

This is very important and beneficial to the long-term development of Hogwarts.

At the same time, because Mike is far more generous than the previous school directors, some things in Hogwarts that could not be changed due to poverty have also changed.

The Floo Fireplace at Station Nine and Three-Quarters was just one of the more inconspicuous changes, and there were countless others like this at Hogwarts Castle.

For example, the toilet in the school bathroom was replaced with the latest model, the equipment in the school kitchen was also updated, and the dim oil lamps and candles in the students' dormitories were also replaced by bright magic lamps... and so on.

Plus, to the excitement of the lower grades, now Hogwarts' upper classes are finally being perfected.

Originally, students who wanted to study courses like advanced potions and alchemy needed not only excellent grades, but also a rich family background.

Because the material provided by the school is far from enough to support you to do a lot of practice.

And now Flitwick promises that the Ministry of Magic will pay for all the materials in all high-level courses, which is a gift from Senior McTorley to their juniors.

As soon as the news was announced, the younger wizards cheered, because being able to learn more advanced courses means they can have better jobs and a better future!

But what these little wizards don't know is that although Mike gave these people the opportunity to learn high-level knowledge, this opportunity is not as good as they imagined.

The first point is that the admission scores of students in high-level courses will be greatly improved. If the scores are not enough, it can only be hoped to quench their thirst.

Secondly, the materials that Mike prepared for the students are not to be wasted at will. After a long discussion between Mike and Benjamin and others, they finally established a strict review system to judge whether the students were wasting materials.

Every time students apply for a new material, they need to be reviewed by professors using this review system. If the review shows that students are wasting materials.

So sorry, dismissal is waiting for you.

In this way, this so-called free higher education course essentially becomes something like a scholarship system.

This is what Mike wants to see, and the reason why it is not directly set up as a scholarship system is for the name.

Free higher education sounds better than scholarships, right?

The former makes people feel hopeless when they hear it, but the latter makes people invigorated and thinks they can try it.

As for this set of mechanisms, all the professors are very in favor of it, and they all feel that those who wantonly waste materials are not qualified to continue their studies even if they are talented.

You know, now the resources on the earth are almost exhausted! Every resource is extremely valuable!

Last but not least, Professor Flitwick announced an even more uplifting news.

That is the job recommendation system for fresh graduates.

At first hearing this term, the senior students actually did not have much fluctuation in their hearts.

After all, Hogwarts originally had this system, and the cooperative unit is still an excellent post like the Ministry of Magic.

But the number of recommended places at Hogwarts every year is too small, which makes this system completely a carnival for pure-blooded nobles. Ordinary students can't enjoy these places even if you are talented.

But after Professor Flitwick continued to explain, everyone realized that this recommendation system is fundamentally different from the original one.

First of all, the number of units that cooperate with Hogwarts to open up school recruitment has greatly increased, not only limited to public units such as the Ministry of Magic, but also many private enterprises, such as the Los Santos Group and Diagon Alley, which are springing up like mushrooms after rain. new business.

At the same time, the recommendation method is no longer the professor recommendation system of the past, but an open campus recruitment conference. Students can submit their transcripts to those units by themselves.

After being notified of passing the test, students also need to go through a final review by professors to prevent fraud and other behaviors.

This excellent system combined with the recent thriving development of the wizarding world in the country, it can be said that all graduates will not have to worry about employment in the next few years.

Of course, this recommendation system is mainly for mixed-blood and Muggle-blood wizards, after all, most pure-blood wizards have better jobs to choose from.

In a short time, these pure-blood wizards will still be the masters of this world, which even Mike can't change.

At this point, Flitwick's speech finally ended.

Standing on the podium, looking at the excited faces under the stage, Professor Flitwick's mood also became better.

Mike did a really good job.

From his behavior, Flitwick felt his sincerity, and also saw that he really wanted to do something for the students, and really wanted to make Hogwarts well.

This is why, despite being extremely reluctant, Professor Flitwick finally agreed to Mike's request and became the headmaster of Hogwarts.

Taking a deep breath, Professor Flitwick snapped his fingers.

This crisp sound attracted everyone's attention.

Then he smiled and said:

"This is the end of my speech. It's getting late, now! Everyone, go back to bed for me! Early tomorrow morning! Be on time for class!"

"Yes! Principal!"*n

The deafening chorus resounded throughout the auditorium. Feeling the sincerity of the students, Professor Flitwick smiled knowingly.
