The Daily Life of a Hogwarts Warfare Professor

1.

On Monday, Hogwarts started to get busy again.

Victor sneaked into Hagrid's hut during his free time.Here the pumpkin vines have climbed up the stump where Hagrid was chopping firewood.

Victor pulled off the pumpkin vines, listened to their charming and harsh "no", "no" sounds, and asked Hagrid what kind of fertilizer you used to grow such weird pumpkins.

"It's just right for Halloween. It's needed for the Hogwarts kitchen, it's needed for the Hogwarts party, and Dumbledore wants me to pick out a hard pumpkin and make it into a jack-o'-lantern to put in his office.

"Look, Victor, pumpkins are in short supply."

The pumpkins have grown up a little proudly.

Victor also wants to choose one for himself.

When he spends Halloween on his family farm, his father always likes to hide a ghoul in the jack-o'-lantern, sharing the joy of the harvest season with the ghoul and the scary expression on little Victor's frightened face.

Just when Victor was thinking about letting Peeves crawl into a pumpkin on Halloween to scare the little wizards at Hogwarts, one of his most timid students came to the farm to find him.

"Mr. Longbottom, are you finished with your class today?" Victor gave the student a pumpkin stool and asked him to sit down and spoke slowly.

Neville Longbottom, his face was red. He didn't know whether it was because he was too tired from running all the way, or because he was ashamed of what he was going to say next.

"Professor Victor, I...oh, my class is over. The transfiguration class was also very interesting today. I don't think my grandma will ever be able to count on the needle I turned into from a match."

Neville muttered in a low voice: "Why do Hogwarts have Transfiguration and Potions classes? If we could change these classes to Herbology classes and let Professor Snape get off work, I wouldn't have to face him."

Victor looked at Neville lovingly. The poor child had been targeted by Professor Snape since the first grade, and the shadows of his childhood were blackened into carbon.

"Do you like herbalism?" Victor picked a topic that Neville would be interested in. Sure enough, when Neville heard about this subject, his depressed face immediately became energetic again.

"I, I don't know if I should describe it this way. The professor's class makes me feel 'safe'. But when I say this to others, they all laugh at me for being more fragile than the glass plants in the greenhouse."

"Hmph~ Don't worry about that. Professor Sprout likes you very much. She has spoken highly of your performance to me several times." Victor encouraged the student.

Neville felt a little better, "Professor Sprout is so friendly, she was even willing to write me a letter of recommendation. Oh, Professor Victor, that's what I'm here for."

Neville took out a crumpled piece of paper from his arms. On it was a recommendation written by the Herbology Professor using cabbage juice.

This is something to be proud of. If Professor Sprout uses plant juice, it means that she is in a good mood when writing.

But Neville looked as sad as if he had heard Snape's angry rebuke.

"Professor Victor, Professor Snape is unwilling to give me a letter of recommendation for Potions. He said that this is a punishment for adding bezoar to the volatile liquid.

"I told my professor that the Sorting Hat suggested that I become the Crow's Head Witch Doctor, and he said I shouldn't dream about it. He would never let me get a pass to the branch."

Neville buried his head deep in his hands.

Victor understood.He put away Neville's letter of recommendation and took the dejected student to see Hagrid.

He knew that there must be students trapped in Professor Snape's situation.Fortunately, he had already prepared alternatives for the students.

"Hagrid, I need your help with something.

"Look, this kid can't please Professor Snape. Are you willing to give him a recommendation on Snape's behalf? He is only one recommendation away from becoming the soldier he wants to be."

Hagrid was confused, "Well, I don't understand what you mean, Victor. If it's to say something nice to the students, of course I am willing, but..."

"That's no problem." Victor patted Hagrid and Neville's arms. "I've decided that you're going to be the Crowhead Witch Doctor's trainee, young man.

"It's just that you have to return a favor to Hagrid. Hmm... How about Hagrid helping you learn the magic of 'crazy growth'?

"This is a magic that the Crowhead Witch Doctor needs very much, and Hogwarts is in urgent need of big, good pumpkins."

Neville, Hagrid confirmed again, was indeed a slow learner.

But Neville's efforts paid off. Gryffindor's jack-o-lantern on Halloween was larger than the other three houses.

Hagrid proudly showed off in front of Snape: Neville will definitely become the best farmer he has ever seen.

2.

The library at Hogwarts is very flashy.

When Victor first set foot here, he got lost because of hundreds of narrow passages.

The second time I accidentally entered the invisible book area, I took two steps and fell down because of the invisible bookshelf and obstacles.

But when he saw it for the first time, he couldn't help but fall in love with it.

He spent a long time developing a relationship with the Hogwarts library.

There are not many books on ancient Egyptian magic in the library, and Victor has already looked through them.Even with his eyes closed, he could feel where the books were placed.

When he was at school, he studied in the library with his Ravenclaw classmates. When he missed the eight o'clock closing time and was forced to spend the night hungry and hungry in the dark library, Victor still thought that night was a wonderful one. night.

He wandered to very far places in the night and books, and when Filch discovered them, Victor felt a courage that "no one can interrupt me from gaining knowledge" from the bottom of his heart.

He argued with Filch arrogantly and confidently.

To this day Victor can't believe how he could be so impulsive.

After he was imprisoned, he specially brought a book about werewolves, hoping to make sure that his father had not done anything stupid to bring about some werewolf blood in him that would make him manic at night.

Even though he became an associate professor, he still loved to spend his free time in the library, picking out interesting books, and sometimes he would use his status as a professor to read banned books openly.

However, there were some books that, after he could read them openly, were not as interesting as reading them secretly when he was at school.

Victor has not read all the books in Hogwarts so far.

"Life is still long."Professor Binns enlightened him, you see, after you die you will have time to read and sleep. You should do more things that you can do while you are alive, such as eating, drinking and having fun.

Victor was convinced.

So he was not in a hurry to pursue the boundless sea of ​​learning, and just picked a sunny day to hang out in the library.

So when he saw the face of student Anthony Goldstein in the gap between the bookshelves, he didn't feel disturbed at all.

Instead, it feels like a romantic plot in an idol drama where the male and female protagonists make eye contact across the bookshelf.

Well, based on his and Anthony's gender and status, it's a taboo film.

"Mr. Goldstein, did you come to the library specifically to block me? Shh, keep your voice down, don't let the administrator hear you."

Victor brought this direct disciple of Ravenclaw to the study area and listened to him talk about how he got a letter of recommendation from the astronomy professor.

"I chewed an entire astronomical map of Jupiter before Professor Sinistra was willing to show his kindness." Anthony's eyes were particularly bright.

He handed the squarely folded letter to Victor and asked Victor if he was qualified to apply for the "scholar" military branch.

"If you are the one applying, you are always qualified." Victor's words made Anthony Goldstein feel as warm as spring, and he was about to dance.

Victor went through the professors' evaluations of Anthony in his mind: smart, loves research, and a typical Ravenclaw.Victor himself thinks so too.

"Okay, Mr. Goldstein, you have been admitted to 'Academics'." Victor declared solemnly, although he failed to suppress his smile.

Anthony cheered silently in the library.Victor was equally happy for him.

"Calm down, Mr. Goldstein. You are still just a training soldier." Victor showed the calmness that an adult should have:

"You still have to learn. The path of a scholar is endless."

Anthony Goldstein solemnly declared that he was not afraid of the challenge.

"Great, I think you should be able to do it. I have recently been studying the Industrial Revolution in the Muggle world. Remember what I said about the obligations of scholars? Combine Muggle and magical means to start a confrontation on the back line.

"How long do you think it will take you to finish reading the content of the Muggle Second Industrial Revolution? It doesn't have to be very detailed, just hand in a review paper. We can try to publish some articles in this research field."

Anthony worked so hard that it took until Christmas for him to deliver anything decent.

It was a targeted discussion on the internal combustion engine, and Victor spent some time revising it with him.

This is also the first student under Victor to publish a paper.

Although almost no one in the wizarding world looked down on Muggle research, Victor still gave Anthony a Christmas gift worthy of his efforts - a feather that was so exquisite and gorgeous that it could fit in the palm of a child in his early teens. Pen.
