The Admiral of Hogwarts

After that, Hermione seemed somewhat silent. Even though she had gained the original battle-loving nature after merging with the ship girl's soul, taking a killer's hand against acquaintances was another matter.

However, thinking about it the other way around, the magical world was so big, and the whole of Britain had only one school, so this kind of killing among acquaintances was unavoidable.

Back then, the members of the Order of the Phoenix who were cruelly murdered should also have been familiar with the Death Eaters, but when it came to taking a killer's hand, no one showed mercy.

This year was Hugo and his friends' O.W.L.s year. According to Hugo's understanding, it was similar to his high school entrance exam in his previous life. Every professor was repeatedly emphasizing the importance of this exam.

Except for Professor Binns, a person who would not be prevented from teaching even by death, a small O.W.L.s exam would naturally not be taken to heart by him.

However, professors like Professor Binns, who followed the rules step by step, were just an exception. Like Snape, in his first class of the semester, he took out a complex potion like a Soothing Draught and gave everyone a blow.

Fortunately, this task was not difficult for Hugo. Before the end of class, he successfully completed the task, causing his cauldron to emit a faint, silvery-white steam.

But by the time class was over, the joy of successful configuration quickly disappeared. Because Snape had assigned a twelve-inch-long essay on the properties of moonstone and its uses in potion making.

And the afternoon's courses were even worse. In the first Ancient Runes class, the professor gave them a set of papers, saying that they wanted to test their level of Ancient Runes.

Although Hugo and Hermione successfully completed the papers through the admiral's network information resonance method and received the professor's praise, they also received two extra test papers at the end of the course because of their far superior scores compared to others.

"Why is it that after getting high scores, there's even more homework?" Hugo complained to his sister when he went out after class. "I thought he could exempt me from my homework."

"Maybe it's because we both got full marks." Hermione said after sitting down at the Great Hall's dining table, "Didn't you hear the professor say that he thinks that the OWLs-level test paper can no longer test our academic level in this area."

"That should be the case. At least, the difficulty of this paper can be said to be the top level of Ancient Runes theory courses in the British magical world today." Hugo nodded after recalling the content of the paper just now.

Obviously, for the Ancient Runes professor, seeing students with good levels was also a very happy thing, so he would use extra papers to test their level.

After asking a few older students at the dining table, Hugo learned that this Ancient Runes professor liked to assign extra test papers to those students he favored, and then assign papers of a certain level according to their respective levels.

"Actually, this means that you have already been internally designated by our Runes professor as students in the advanced class." Cho Chang, who was sitting next to them, said, "Only a very few students will have this kind of treatment."

"That's right, this professor's requirements are very high, and he won't even choose a student for several years." Marietta said at this time. As a girl who liked gossip, Marietta obviously knew more about this aspect than her friend Cho Chang.

Being valued by the professor was naturally a good thing, but it would naturally add a lot of burden to Hugo and Hermione, especially this year when they had a lot of work to do.

Fortunately, the admiral network possessed by the ship girls had a special power that could help Hugo and his friends get rid of a lot of unnecessary repetitive practice. For example, the translation of a large amount of Ancient Runes content was like this.

The first class on the second morning was Defense Against the Dark Arts. All the Ravenclaws remained silent after entering the classroom, because they had already learned about Umbridge's teaching style from the Gryffindors and Slytherins who had taken the class yesterday.

Obviously, this professor came to Hogwarts purely to make trouble, and couldn't even do the basic work of a professor well. The only thing that seemed to be proactive was requiring students to collectively greet her during class.

In fact, this point was completely acceptable to Hugo and his friends. After all, his school in his previous life was like this, and for the ship girls, this level of rule-making behavior was much easier than in the military.

But the problem was that when it came to teaching, her ugly face of wanting to completely mess up Hogwarts was immediately revealed: the only thing the other party allowed students to do in class was to read the textbook.

After discovering that this situation was the same as what the Gryffindors had said before, a Ravenclaw student, whose parent was also a senior official in the Ministry of Magic, raised his hand to ask about the classroom objectives according to the agreed-upon method.

Faced with the child of a colleague who had a position in the Ministry of Magic, Umbridge naturally couldn't have as bad an attitude as she did towards Harry, a thorn in the side of the Ministry of Magic.

However, although the attitude of explanation was good, she still insisted that as long as the theory was learned very solidly, even if it was the first time casting a spell during the exam, the spell could be successfully released.

"I'll say it again, all the so-called claims that the outside world is no longer safe are nonsense. The Ministry of Magic guarantees that you will not encounter danger from any dark wizards."

After answering the question of this Ravenclaw student, Umbridge raised her head, then scanned the students in the entire class and looked at everyone and said.

"If you still have doubts, please be sure to come to me after class. I am always ready to help you. I am your friend. Okay, everyone, please continue reading page five, 'Introductory Basic Principles'."

Compared to the impulsive Gryffindors, Ravenclaws often like to do things behind the scenes rather than confront head-on.

So after listening to Umbridge's answer, the Ravenclaw students immediately quieted down, so the following course was spent in the process of everyone reading, until the class bell rang.

"I can now confirm one thing, and that is that the Ministry of Magic has been infiltrated by the mysterious man to a much greater extent than we previously imagined." Hugo said on the way back to the dormitory. "At the same time, Umbridge's desire for power far exceeds that of normal people."

"That's right, that's the situation." Hermione nodded and said. "And this is also one of the worst situations we guessed before, so we'd better make corresponding preparations next."

After returning to the Ravenclaw Tower, Hugo found that everyone was almost discussing the Defense Against the Dark Arts class just now. Because the approach in that class just now completely violated the Ravenclaw tradition.

Yes, Ravenclaws are indeed bookworms in the eyes of other academies, but the problem is that the bookworms in the magical world and the bookworms in the ordinary world are two different things.

In the magical world, if you want to achieve success in academics, not only must the theory be good, but the practical operation level cannot be bad, otherwise you will not be able to achieve success in any academic subject at all.

Therefore, Ravenclaw students naturally also pay great attention to practical operation skills. Now Umbridge's approach can be said to have completely offended the Ravenclaw students.

So now the students in Ravenclaw Tower are discussing the problem of this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts class. After all, this is related to everyone's OWLs exam scores this year, so the Ravenclaw students are discussing how to solve the problem of the lack of practice in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class this year.
