Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue

"Are you saying that the relationship between the Ministry of Magic and the school is very tense? Because of those curriculum changes?"

"Well, it's obvious," Elena said. "Every era has old school, and people are often afraid of change, right? The fusion of magic and science is indeed a future trend, and it is also a way to revitalize magic. Magic Ministry officials will worry that they will be eliminated because of this. New things and new knowledge will appear too fast. Next year, the first batch of wizards with professional titles will enter all walks of life."

　　 "But they can also learn and understand new knowledge together? And they have even fewer things to remember."

　　 Hermione asked in confusion. At this moment, they had separated from Hannah, Ginny and others, left the auditorium, and walked towards the curse classroom.

　　 "In theory, this is the case," Elena said slowly, "The premise is...Um..."

　　 She looked at the magical portraits around her left and right, and a joke appeared at the corner of her mouth.

　　 "What?" Hermione urged.

　　 "Well, they don't have to be in a state of cognitive solidification."

　　 "Cognitive curing?" Hermione repeated it quietly thoughtfully.

"The new things that appear at the age of ten are all novel and interesting; the new things that appear at the age of 20 are all fashionable and popular; the new things that appear at the age of 30 must be carefully screened out of impurities; forty Appears after the age of 10, it may be rubbish..."

　　 "Over time, most people will inevitably experience a process of cognitive solidification, decline in learning ability, and mentality."

　　 Elena pointed to the portrait on the wall meaningfully. She did an interesting Turing test in school last year.

　　 It turns out that most of the portraits do not have the ability to "enter and understand"—their cognition is forever frozen in the past.

　　 Elena looked around the corridors and staircase layouts that were always in a "new" state, and raised her eyebrows.

"It's not difficult to understand, right? For example, when you are convinced that the world should be a certain way, but new things tell you that the world is not what you believe in, you choose to doubt or first Believe it?"

　　 "...I don't know." Hermione shook her head, "I will try not to presume a position and make an objective judgment."

　　 "Perfect answer!" Elena said.

　　 "But, but this is just an assumption in an ideal state..."

Hermione nodded suddenly, and whispered to herself, "If it were Hannah, she would not want to continue to try another path with the same result after learning a problem-solving idea-more Needless to say, if and when these two methods conflict."

　　Ahee—

　　 At the same time, on the other side of Hogwarts Castle.

　　 Hannah suddenly sneezed, which directly scared Luna out of her state of wandering.

　　 "Strange, didn't I drink the refreshing potion in the morning? What's the matter."

　　 Tie rubbed his nose mediocrely, and pushed open the door of the potions classroom with a whisper.

In Professor Snape’s class, colds and sneezing can be said to be the worst states, whether it’s a shaking of hands and adding a few drops of potion materials that shouldn’t be added, or accidentally spitting and drooling. Falling into the crucible can have catastrophic consequences.

　　 From the beginning of this semester, the most common treatment is to become the subject of Professor Snape's "special, enhanced version, refreshing potion".

　　 After all, Hogwarts now has three top potion masters.

The "potions supply right" of Hogwarts School Hospital has changed from a troublesome and trivial obligation to a secret battlefield with undercurrents. The professors' potions have become a weapon to measure the level of each other, and Hannah doesn't want to get involved. The war between the professors turned into a "steam girl".

　　 However, as she pushed open the wooden door of the underground classroom, Hannah's worries quickly dissipated.

　　 "On your right, everyone first go get two masks and a hair-tie cap—"

　　 Snape stood by the desk in the underground classroom, and glanced coldly at the little wizards who entered the classroom one after another.

"Starting from today, during the practical stage of the potion class, I hope everyone remembers to wear a mask. I don’t want this classroom to faint after smelling the potion that I have made for the second time, or to drop something that shouldn’t be done. Something dripping into the pot happened, do you understand?!"

　　 "Well, Miss Abbott, Miss Lovegood, as usual, can you please post everyone's homework last week..."

　　 I have to say that since Dumbledore broke up the lower grades and reclassified, and set up a monitor, Snape has been relieved a lot.

Simple tasks such as sending and receiving homework, distributing potion materials, and maintaining small-scale order are mostly left to the students to complete themselves. He can devote more energy and time to teaching and observe the students in the potion making Is there any danger or wrong operation?

try{mad1('gad2');}catch(ex){}　　 Of course, such a smooth teaching model is not limited to Snape's potions class.

　　……

　　The curse class is recognized as the most important course in the wizarding world.

　　 In a sense, the curse class is the most primitive and pure "magic" class of wizard civilization.

In this course, Hogwarts students learn how to control their own magic powers. According to some fixed gestures and syllables, they display the spells that have been researched by generations of spell masters. This is what most wizards will rely on in the future. The basics of survival.

　　 When Elena and Hermione rushed to the curse classroom, they happened to see Umbridge walking across the corridor with a handbag.

　　 "It seems that the Ministry of Magic has changed its strategy?" Hermione raised her eyebrows and winked at Elena.

　　 "This is very smart. First choose some subjects that she knows and have relatively little change."

　　 Elena said softly, not surprisingly, and pulled Hermione toward the first row of the classroom.

Undoubtedly, after experiencing a wall in Muggle Studies, Dolores Umbridge obviously realized his limitations and chose to complete some basic disks and fill in the work of the "senior investigator". Make plans after the resume.

　　 In Umbridge’s view, the science of mantra is undoubtedly the most suitable pure land as a background board.

　　 After all, here is "magic" in the true sense. It seems to be incompatible with "science" from the day it was born.

"Good morning, Professor Flitwick," Professor Umbridge stood at the door with a smile on his face, bent slightly, looked at Professor Flitwick standing on the pile of books, and said briskly, "I believe You should have received my notice? It says to check the time and date of your class."

　　 "Hello, Professor Umbridge. Your seat—"

　　 Professor Flitwick frowned slightly and waved his magic wand casually.

　　 Then, an armchair appeared in the corner out of thin air, and fell in front of Umbridge lightly.

　　 "Well, Miss Kaslana, Miss Granger, this is last week's homework, please send it to everyone."

After a brief placement of Umbridge, Professor Flitwick did not continue to pay attention to her. Instead, he turned his head to look at Elena and Hermione, and said with a warm smile, two stacks of parchment homework from his podium. Floating to the hands of the monitors of the second grade A class.

Facing Professor Flitwick’s indifferent attitude, Professor Umbridge was still smiling. She grabbed the back of the armchair floating in the air, pulled the chair to the front of the classroom, and placed it in the distance. Professor Liwei's podium was only a few inches away, and then she sat down in time, took out the writing board from her fancy handbag, raised her head expectantly, and waited for the class to begin.

　　 Flitwick stood on the steps of a thick pile of books as usual, and looked at the students in the classroom with a smile on his face.

　　 "Well, in the last class, we initially mastered the fire curse..."

　　 He didn't even notice that there was an additional audience behind him, and as the class bell rang, he quickly took off and entered the teaching state.

"Today, we are going to learn another spell that sounds the opposite-Frozen Curse. But before that, we will continue to review the curse in two groups as before, recite the fire curse in turn and perform the corresponding spells to dispel. "

　　 Professor Flitwick said as he tapped his wand lightly on the desk, a huge light golden hourglass phantom appeared in the air.

　　 "Review time, fifteen minutes. Let's start now."

　　 He walked off the stage and patrolled the class back and forth, checking their spell-casting situation.

On the other hand, after Professor Umbridge simply wrote a few pens in his notebook, he stood up and wandered around the curse classroom like Professor Flitwick, listening to Professor Flitwick. Talk to classmates and ask one or two questions from time to time.

　　 Soon, she dangled to the table of Elena and Hermione.

　　 "flaming flames—"

　　 "All curses are over."

　　 The Elena curse was lightly tapped, and easily extinguished the small fireball that Hermione had finally turned into.

　　 "You're wrong! Professor Flitwick said, I need to use the curse." Hermione puffed up her cheeks and said sternly.

"I am a curse, a general curse in most cases-it is like a broad-spectrum antidote in potions. Since the process of the curse can be ended directly from the root of the magic, why not master this practical solution? Curse?"

　　 Elena looked at Hermione's angry look with interest, and shrugged.

　　 "Well, if you can extinguish my fire, then I will reluctantly practice the ending spell of the fire curse."

　　 "Okay, did you say this yourself?!" Hermione snorted and pulled down her sleeves, preparing to cast the curse.

　　 "flaming flames, Kenza—"

try{mad1('gad2');}catch(ex){}　　 Boom, a bright fire light shines from the tip of Elena's wand.

　　 "...you are so shameless."

　　 Hermione glanced at the bright light that seemed to be similar to the flames summoned by the students around her, and the voice squeezed out between her teeth.

As the best friend of this white-haired dumpling, she certainly knew that Elena’s skill library had been updated with the "flame demon". This method of spellcasting originated from the ancient runes, which belonged to the fire curse from the very beginning." "Superior Magic" is simply not something that can be dealt with by the corresponding curse. .

　　 "Don't be so serious, the flame is just the appearance. The core is the key. It's like the fire curse and the fire curse are two curses—"

　　 Elena said helplessly, because Hermione has not yet been exposed to molecular physics, these contents are still advanced knowledge for her.

Perhaps black box spells like the "lock-opening curse" and "restoring curse" cannot be resolved and reconstructed by Elena, but similar to flames and high temperatures, which are fun materialized little knowledge played by later scientific circles, she can still Easy to control and play.

　　 "Cough, cough—"

　　 Just then, there was an artificial cough in her ear.

　　 "Sorry, Miss Kaslana, I seemed to have heard you talk about... a fiery curse?"

Umbridge asked softly, his toad-like mouth gradually grinned, "This is the dark magic registered by the Ministry of Magic, and it should be carefully studied even in senior grades. Where did you hear this term? What? Well, I’m just curious to ask."

　　 "I learned Defence Against the Dark Arts, professor, last semester."

　　 Elena blinked, turned around, and replied in earnest, rather obediently.

　　 "Last semester? Oh, I see."

　　 Umbridge raised his eyebrows slightly, took out the tablet and quickly took a few notes, his expression became more gentle.

　　 "Professor Quirinas Quirrell was teaching at the time, right? Well, he must have described the power of the curse in detail, right?"

"No-"

　　 Elena shook her head and said seriously.

"This is what Professor Apocalis said, but he said that there is nothing to be afraid of, but it is a rough and easy to break spell. As long as you master all spells, you can counter this seemingly tricky one. Black magic."

　　 Apocalis? !

　　 Umbridge’s pen stopped on the notebook, and the smile on his face suddenly stiffened.

She thought she happened to have found important evidence of Quirinas Quill’s research and worship of dark magic. Who knew it was the old immortal castle administrator, and the most important thing was that hundreds of Year-old monster, really has the confidence to say this...

　　 "Professor? What's wrong with you, professor?"

　　 "Uh, oh, nothing...I understand, thank you."

　　 Dolores Umbridge twitched his mouth, and replied somewhat unnaturally.

　　 Forget it, don't provoke the moody and nervous old monster "Paracelsus" for the time being.

　　 This is something Connelly Fudge especially told, UU reading www.uukanshu. The alchemists who have come all the way from the Middle Ages may seem gentle, knowledgeable, and easy to communicate, but they will never fear any government authority—after all, they built the prototype of the Ministry of Magic back then.

　　 As one of the strengths that stood behind the Ministry of Magic in the early days, "Paracelsus" didn't care about Aurors.

　　 The most urgent task now is to first use some regular and simple courses to let the authority of the "senior investigator" settle down.

As for the follow-up things, such as the thorns of transfiguration, potions, and Muggle studies, you can wait until she has passed some basic harmless subjects and raised a banner, and slowly challenged and tossed one by one. At that time Hogwarts will automatically split.

　　 Umbridge calmed down a bit, returned to his seat, and waited for Professor Flitwick to continue the class.

The feedback from the students and the examination results of the Ministry of Magic show that Professor Flitwick is undoubtedly the top professor at Hogwarts. The pass rate and praise rate of spells are exactly the same as her previous estimates-spells It was the fulcrum for the Ministry of Magic to pry the Hogwarts change away.

　　 At this moment, Professor Flitwick’s calm lecture came from Umbridge.

　　 "Freezing spell is a spell that stops people and things from moving.".

　　 "Please note! It doesn't get too cold, it's important to Freeze—stop moving."

　　 "Therefore, before we learn this freezing spell, we must first understand, what is exercise..."

Great!
