Hogwarts on the tip of the tongue

"So are these your ideas, or Professor Dumbledore's?"

Professor McGonagall turned to look at the voice that was about to disappear outside the door. After all, she couldn't help but raise her voice.

"No matter what I say, you already have your own answer, don't you?" Elena's voice floated across the door lightly, "A new era has begun."

On the morning of the second weekend after Dumbledore disappeared, a new notice finally appeared on the bulletin board in front of the Hogwarts Great Hall:

Instructions for restarting Hogwarts staff qualification review

Starting from the next semester, all faculty and staff must obtain qualified qualifications before they can take up their posts.

On-the-job teachers can temporarily teach normally during the review period, but they must participate in teacher qualification training every weekend.

The above regulations are in compliance with Education Order No. 20 and Article [-] of the Hogwarts Temporary Guidance.

signature:

Guidance Principal - Rufus Scrimgeour

Senior Investigator and Counselor-Dolores Jane Umbridge

At the end of the signatures of professors, Ministry of Magic officials, and temporary principals, there is also a cute little signature.

Elena Kaslana.

This confusing explanation quickly set off various rumors among the students.

These announcements are just the beginning, though, as Dolores Umbridge returns to teaching.

Due to Lockhart's temporary leave, the grammar professor at Hogwarts has been vacant for too long. It is obvious that Nick, who is almost headless, cannot be a part-time professor for a long time.

With the mediation of Scrimgeour and the Ministry of Magic, Umbridge naturally filled Lockhart's vacancy and became the grammar professor at Hogwarts.

"Why did you let that woman take the post, Elena! She doesn't know what literature is at all!"

Hermione complained dissatisfiedly that her favorite grammar class was completely ruined.

In Umbridge's class, they were not exposed to any new and interesting stories, not even classical poetry.

All kinds of tedious, boring, and extremely dull writing of official documents, imitating the boring exercises of transcribing news announcements make most young wizards complain endlessly.

The staff thought that Professor Binns' History of Magic was already the most boring and hypnotic, but they did not expect that Umbridge's class could be even better.

"Well, it's true that Umbridge doesn't understand literature, but she is absolutely top-notch in practical writing and official documents."

Elena waved her hand nonchalantly and signed her name on the blank parchment.

"If you don't want to write, I can help you sign your homework."

"Forget it, I'm just complaining a little bit about her stuff, it's of little use."

Hermione hesitated, picked up her quill again, and started working on her unfinished grammar homework.

"Okay - anyway, my privileges are always open to you."

Elena shrugged and tapped the parchment in front of her thoughtfully.

It must be said that Umbridge's slickness was beyond her imagination, and the big pink toad did not give her any chance to attack.

Since that night when Dumbledore revealed her identity, Umbridge had almost completely ignored any of Elena's unruly or willful behavior.

Elena originally thought that Dumbledore's departure and the Ministry of Magic's strong intervention in Hogwarts would make Umbridge swell and make her as crazy as in the original book.

However, these things seemed to make her suspicious. She seemed to realize something in advance. Not to mention running around in other classrooms, she behaved quite restrained even in the grammar classroom, except that she was still so annoying. In addition to her orderly teaching methods and boring teaching content, she seems to be determined to be a good professor.

In fact, let alone handing in homework, as long as Elena didn't openly disrupt the order of the class, Umbridge wouldn't even look at her for a second.

Now the professors at Hogwarts are like clockwork. Everyone is teaching carefully and understands the teacher qualification review:

The Hogwarts review was not only posted in the school, but also appeared on the front page of the Daily Prophet.

And with the overwhelming number of applications, job interviews, and consultation owl letters the next day, all the professors suddenly realized a problem—there were too many wizards who wanted to teach at Hogwarts.

When "teaching qualifications" became a clear and objective content that could be determined by examinations, the wave of competition from the wizarding world was enough to overwhelm everyone.

Even Professor McGonagall had to start paying attention to the contents of the "Teacher Qualification Examination" that appeared out of nowhere.

"The Ministry of Magic and the school board passed a decree. Within reasonable limits, we must first pass the test."

She saw very clearly that compared to Umbridge's private back-room operation, the plan proposed by "Skrimgeour" this time at least had no flaws on the surface.

Professor McGonagall can feel that a certain witch is manipulating and influencing the Hogwarts campus step by step:

Students' magic books, professors' qualification review, three meals a day planning, school curriculum innovation, and even ghosts, portraits, elves and even movable stairs.

The only way Professor McGonagall can fight back is to find out what the "teacher qualification review" is as soon as possible and question it as a qualified person.

However, with the first teacher qualification review training session over the weekend, Professor McGonagall began to feel an extremely powerless feeling of frustration.

The content of those courses is not difficult at all, and strictly speaking, they cannot even be considered as a magic test.

Comprehensive quality of teachers, educational knowledge and abilities, subject knowledge and teaching abilities

Professor McGonagall hoped that she could find loopholes in the course, but on the contrary, as the course deepened, she began to recognize it in her heart.

During Umbridge's previous visit, those surveys were more based on the professor himself and specific courses, or feedback from students and the Ministry of Magic.

But the teacher qualification review system currently being implemented at Hogwarts is more like a carefully woven network. Professor McGonagall can clearly see the methodology. Those mature and systematic teaching materials and topics are by no means a What a minor witch could come up with, even a senior professor like Dumbledore might not be able to write in its entirety.Those looked more like the results of discussions between teachers from several, or even dozens or hundreds of schools, but such large meetings obviously did not exist in the wizarding world.

Moreover, Umbridge's secret review work has also begun again, and she can occasionally see or hear that Umbridge is investigating everyone.

Hogwarts seemed to have turned into a whirlpool full of undercurrents, which could suddenly turn into a giant whirlpool at any time and swallow them whole.

"Maybe this is a good thing," Madam Pomfrey said after listening to McGonagall's concerns. "Similar to therapist certification, standardization of teachers is not a bad thing."

"The Ministry of Magic is trying to use it to completely control the school." Professor McGonagall asserted, "This must be their purpose, because they can change the assessment content and learning standards at any time."

Professor McGonagall rubbed her forehead irritably, "I hope the first round of investigation results will come out soon. This feeling of secretly reviewing and waiting is really terrible."

"Frankly speaking, I still don't understand why so many professors and even Filch support-"

"Because it's a good thing for them, especially teachers and staff in marginalized subjects."

Madam Pomfrey said, sighing helplessly as she explained.

"It's almost a semi-open secret that Argus Filch is applying to become a full professor."

"Formal professor? But he can teach -"

"Tomorrow, I heard that some new teaching positions will be updated tomorrow."

Madam Pomfrey looked at Professor McGonagall. As a member of Elena's camp, she still couldn't bear to watch McGonagall running around in confusion.

"It also appears that there will also be an Acting Headmaster vote to identify a wizard who can actually exercise the powers of Headmaster. They are expected to bring this up at breakfast."

"what?!"

Professor McGonagall's eyes narrowed.

She raised her head and looked at Madam Pomfrey solemnly.

"So you know the nominee—"

"Well," Madam Pomfrey glanced at Professor McGonagall with a strange expression, "I heard it was."
