Hogwarts: My name is the Unforgivable Curse

Chapter 223 Miranda Gorshak

Miranda Gorshak was born in 1921 and entered Hogwarts in 1932. At that time, she found that the "old-fashioned textbooks" of the time were full of obscure and complex instructions and esoteric concepts, which made her quite confused when learning magic. In addition, her sisters always deliberately taught her the wrong spells when she practiced magic, which caused her to encounter a lot of trouble in her studies as a student-but after she created her own bat spirit spell, this The situation has improved a lot.

After graduating, Miranda Gorshak sadly realized that the kind of help she needed as a young woman simply didn't exist. For this reason, she began to make a living by writing school textbooks, and worked hard to make her work theoretically correct and of academic value, while ensuring that its content was easy to understand and not too difficult to understand, making it easier for students who were new to magic to learn. ——In this way, her first book "The Book of Spells" became a great success. It was translated into 72 different languages ​​​​and became a textbook in many magic schools around the world.

Later, Miranda Gorshak even wrote the "Standard Spells" series of textbooks, which became the designated textbook for Hogwarts. And she herself was featured in a chocolate frog cartoon due to her outstanding contribution to education.

In other words, until the middle of this century, the entire magical society did not even have a set of decent teaching materials - this also illustrates how slowly the development of magical society is.

Therefore, after analyzing the life of this education master, the honors he received, and the bat spirit spell she invented to deal with her sister, and then considering that the Nobilia University he leads is also an ambitious and powerful organization. , Miranda Gorshak's image in Avada's mind has always been that of a shrewd, capable and skillful witch...

However, after actually meeting this great educator, Avada was surprised to find that she was different from what she had imagined - no matter in terms of face, posture or mental state, she looked more like a kind person. old lady.

Their conversation had been going on for some time now, and they were talking about the structure of Nobic Ridge University itself.

"Haha, what are you talking about..."

Miranda Gorshak shook her head and laughed, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes bunched up: "Those professors are people with big ideas, but personally, I really just want to be an educator and write books in peace and contentment. , get the prize... I also plan to compile a set of special textbooks for each subject. If you are interested, you can come to my place to take a look after you officially join the job..."

"But, anyway, this school is also formed by elites who want to improve the magical society, and I happen to be one of them; plus I am old and familiar with the old principal... So I became the new The principal."

"But I don't deserve my fame in vain,"

The old lady pointed to herself proudly: "All the textbooks in this school are compiled by me myself - of course, I can't master so much knowledge by myself. I let the professors prepare what they want students to learn. The knowledge is summarized together, and then I compile it into a textbook... This wastes a lot of my efforts."

"amazing."

Avada was very cooperative and praised him, and he really admired this pioneer in education in his heart - without her, it is hard to say what the average level of wizards would be today.

"Thanks for the compliment."

Principal Gorshak smiled: "But speaking of which subject do you plan to be a professor? Professor Baker told me that you are very good in the fields of magic, spirituality, combat, space and Muggle studies, but he You also said that you want to be involved in what Professor Belby is responsible for...which means you are also good at curses and potions?"

"I can't say I'm good at it, Professor, I just know it a little bit... But I want to ask, how many of these positions you just mentioned are filled by vacant professors?"

"It depends on how you choose."

Gorshak said: "Due to manpower problems, almost all professors here hold multiple positions. In addition, sometimes professors are required to participate in special research or tasks, resulting in our manpower being always insufficient. ...If you choose a course, the professor corresponding to that course will be crazy about it, so you can choose whatever you want - but it’s best not to take more than three.”

"In this case……"

Avada thought for a moment before replying: "I can serve as a professor of spirituality first. If other professors are too busy and need to take over, I can also teach life force, space, alchemy, and magic."

"Psychiatry? That's great. That's Professor Trimble's part-time subject, and he himself is one of the professors who travels most frequently... He will definitely be very happy."

Gorshak quickly pulled out a list from the pile of paper on the side of the table and handed it to Avada: "Professor Baker's eyesight has always been very accurate, but the process must be followed - you have to accept it once The assessment is used to prove that you have the ability to teach this subject. If you want to take part-time teaching, you will also need to take the assessment, but the standards will be looser... This is the textbook list of spirituality. You can go to the library to look through it in advance. During the assessment time, you It’s also optional.”

"Will the assessment content involve these teaching materials and educational knowledge?"

"There will be some - but the requirements in this regard are not strict, as long as you have normal expression ability, it is enough."

"That's good……"

Avada started reading the book list in her hand: "Psychodynamics", "Analysis of Common Psychic Magic", "Psychopharmacology", "Code of Use of Psychic Magic", "Psychic Instrument Image Analysis", "Psychiatric Pharmacology" "Interpretation of Wave Spectrum"... I will probably spend half a day understanding these textbooks, Professor, and the assessment can probably start this afternoon."

It's easy to talk about other things, but he really knows nothing about the two books "Psychic Instrument Image Analysis" and "Psychic Spectrum Interpretation" - he has always used magic senses to directly observe mental power, so there is no need to analyze it. Imaging and spectroscopy on instruments?

So most of the day was spent planning these two books. However, he is not too worried. After all, his foundation is here, and his strengthened mental power also allows him to easily memorize and understand the contents of the book... In short, it is not a big problem.

"Then just come to me when the time comes and I will personally arrange your assessment."

Gorshak smiled at him: "Besides, if you are really good at psychiatry... there is an urgent matter recently that may require your help."

"oh?"

Avada is a little happy - just after joining the job, she can encounter urgent matters from her professional counterpart. What kind of paradise is this?

"And it's also related to what Professor Belby is responsible for."

Gorshak's expression became a little more serious: "We need some psychiatric experts to sneak into Azkaban together with other personnel, and the target is a prisoner there..."

"Gilderoy Lockhart."
