Hogwarts on the tip of the tongue

Ok?

Uh-huh?

Copy the text?

How could it be like this? !

Elena rolled her eyes, her expression quickly changed from surprise to dullness, and finally turned into the expressionless face of an orphan.

In less than a quarter of an hour after Umbridge's professorship contract was signed, Wilbert Scullin's "The Theory of Magical Defense" was completed in Diagon Alley and even on the shelves of major book companies and industries. Clearance and removal processing.

The printing order from Gringotts Wizarding Bank directly postponed the supplement plan of this book to a year later.

Of course, when Hogwarts sent out a book purchase inquiry that afternoon, it was naturally not possible to purchase teaching materials smoothly.

According to Elena's plan, under the ruthless setbacks of reality, even Dolores Umbridge, as the Senior Deputy Minister, had to change her methods, at least to get some useful information in the Hogwarts classroom. Magic tricks come out.

only……

What a miscalculation. As expected, you can never overestimate the face and limits of politicians.

Elena never expected that Umbridge, a toad, could actually have this trick!

Compared with silently reading Wilbert Scullin's "Peace Defense Theory" alone, copying large sections of the original text is much more painful than being bored and dazed before - copying is one of the few behaviors that can be highly quantified. Operation.

Grindelwald is right, the most troublesome thing in the world is to introduce politicians and idiots into the plan.

Elena reluctantly copied the "Magic Defense Theory" 'Chapter 1, Basic Principles for Getting Started' on the blackboard, and her thoughts began to drift away inadvertently and drifted elsewhere.She dug the hole with her own hands, and with tears in her eyes she could only skip one class first.

At the moment, there isn't much that is disgusting about Umbridge, except for being lazy and inactive.

At most, she would ask Dumbledore to "suggest" the course arrangement for Defense Against the Dark Arts...

After all, Dolores Umbridge is not the subject leader of this course. If Professor Lupine opens his mouth, unless this pink toad suddenly decides to abandon politics and become a teacher, these problems today can be easily solved. .

After the experience of fighting against the Ministry of Magic last semester, Elena has long understood the logic of these politicians.

Unless it involves status, rights, or some personal interests, they are more accustomed to compromise in the face of clear responsibilities and tough confrontation, or if vultures are hovering around - if everything goes well, Then they will follow behind to take the credit, and when something goes wrong, they can also roar down from the sky to share the food.

Just like Albus Dumbledore put his personal honor and personal reputation on the line in order to implement this new curriculum reform.

In the current Hogwarts, any formal professor has the right to stick to his or her own teaching plan.

But what is different from before is that while implementing their respective proposals, the proposer will also bet on his career and social reputation-the "Daily Prophet", "The Quibbler" and other influential magazines will simultaneously This commitment.

If the final teaching results do not meet expectations, the proposer must not only apologize publicly, but also be prohibited from participating in a series of work involving public influence within ten years, such as education, administration, publishing... and have obligations and responsibilities for those who The affected students are provided with one year of academic compensation, including but not limited to material and employment issues.

As the focus of much attention in the wizarding world, Hogwarts' new curriculum plan has almost become a weather vane.

Not just British magic? French magic, American magic, German magic...

Every magical society with its own education system is paying attention to the series of educational reforms being implemented at Hogwarts. Whether it succeeds or fails, it will inevitably leave a mark on the trend of magical education in the next few decades.

Under such public opinion and social pressure, political factors and the influence from the ancient magic family were minimized.

"This round? I played 'Albus Dumbledore'... Old guys from the old days? Bureaucrats, you are willing to play yourselves as cards in your hand and exchange money and bet with me. What? I bet you, you don’t dare—"

Elena was copying "Magic Defense Theory" while mentally calculating her hand cards and card library.

As a pacifist? Wilbert Slinka, author of The Theory of Magical Defense, advocates a passive approach to conflict and opposes the use of aggressive spells, even for defensive purposes.

And this is the way the magic world has long been accustomed to responding, waiting for the opponent to make a mistake and counterattack.

Unfortunately……

As the last "king", Elena's current card is too luxurious. According to Grindelwald's previous evaluation, if she is cruel enough, she can even spend nearly five centuries of accumulation to ignite the luxury. world.

"If you don't play your cards yet? That would be the best... fairy tales, the protagonist group cannot be missing..."

Elena glanced at the witch with a fake smile on the desk not far away and curled her lips noncommittally.

But? Then again.

If you don't consider upper-level courses? Umbridge's teaching method still has certain merits in basic education.

After all, as a former "combat magic" course, compared to directly learning how to cast and defend magic spells, it is more important in peacetime to emphasize in advance the theoretical basis and applicable occasions, social environment and judgment standards under laws and regulations.

Even Dumbledore had to admit that wizards who graduated from Hogwarts were somewhat weak in legal awareness.

Many times, when wizards encounter threats, they are more inclined to use the most convenient magic to solve the problem rather than the most appropriate spell. Generally speaking, every year's Hogwarts graduates , they are all the rookie wizards who have the biggest headaches for the Auror Office and the Incident Reversal Team. They have just released their spellcasting restrictions and it is too easy for them to let themselves go.

There must be a bad guy in any school. After all, learning magic is compulsory.

As academics at Hogwarts become increasingly intensified, and a more profound advanced education ladder appears in the wizarding world, education based on knowledge base will appear in this castle sooner or later. Happy education will never be able to support society's demand for elites.

If Umbridge is willing to keep taking the blame, there will be no place for her in Hogwarts...

"Elena!" Hermione whispered.

"what's wrong?"

Elena looked around and found that the whole class was still busy writing.

Umbridge was still looking at the classroom with her swollen eyes. Judging from the witch's unfocused eyes, the Ministry of Magic official seemed to be sleepwalking, and there would be no emergencies for the professor to ask questions at the moment. .

"Elena, don't continue to be in a daze. I won't be able to help you if you can't hand in your homework later."

Hermione said in a low voice, with a hint of helplessness in her tone.

Even if Professor Umbridge did not continue to pursue their tardiness, the intimidation just now still had some effect. Perhaps only this white-haired dumpling who is fearless would dare to continue committing crimes in this situation, right?

"Hey, what kind of homework do you have to hand in? Don't worry, I'm familiar with copying texts. I haven't always done it—"

Elena blinked in confusion, and then said with a nonchalant smile.

As a hero who fought his way through thousands of troops in the Chinese examination system in the past life, things like copying the writing on the blackboard are simply inertial actions engraved deep in her soul. She can even copy the writing on the blackboard while watching a drama. .

"Lower your head, Elena, look down!"

Hermione sighed, seeing the smug look on Elena's face, and her tone was obviously anxious.

"Look carefully at what you copied on the parchment. Except for the first few lines, everything after it is blank... You haven't even dipped it in ink once, right? You have turned two pages now... You What are you going to do later?!”

"Eh?" Elena was stunned, and then nodded in realization, "Oh, you said this... um..."

She looked at the pen in her hand, which had long since run out of ink, and the lines of shallow handwriting on the parchment.

Different from the classroom in the previous life, the writing tools used in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry are currently only quills.

Since the quill pen is a dip pen rather than an absorbent pen, the ink storage capacity is limited to a small area in the pen groove, so if you don't remember to dip it frequently during the writing process... the words you write will start to become lighter until you can't write many words. The word heavenly book.

"There's nothing I can do, alas... I'll give you a demonstration in advance..."

Elena shrugged helplessly, and then under Hermione's disbelieving eyes, she picked up the ink bottle and poured it on her own blank parchment. The blue-black ink fainted almost instantly, covering the entire page. The parchment was a stained mess.

"Look, isn't this solved? If it weren't for being in the front row, I wouldn't even bother to write."

"you……"

Hermione's mouth twitched and she held her forehead weakly.

"Knocked over the ink bottle? Do you think Professor Umbridge is a fool? This is a magic school, Elena. A simple 'clean up' can make the ink stains disappear... The written words are not It will disappear because of this..."

"I know, Hermione. Lend me the page you copied."

Elena nodded nonchalantly, pulled out a blank diary from under her butt, and placed it under the parchment.

Then, she briefly glanced at the contents on Hermione's parchment, and when Umbridge wasn't paying attention, she took out her wand and touched it lightly on her own parchment, "Verto (transformation)!"

As the girl's voice fell, the ink soaked in most of the parchment shrank and changed as if it were alive.

Part of the ink followed the grooves of Elena's previous notes and the text written by Hermione, and emerged little by little on the parchment, while the excess ink flowed outward along the edge of the parchment and landed on the blank diary. in the pages of the book.

"Well, wouldn't it be nice like this - simple, relaxed..."

Elena blew the parchment in her hand with satisfaction, and winked proudly at the little witch beside her.

"Miss Granger, you are right, this is a magic school. Do you really think that Her Majesty, the great Queen, would foolishly copy blackboard writing for more than two hours at a stretch? Magic is not just what is taught in class. Those features.”

"You cheated...it's not fair!"

Hermione rubbed her sore wrist, puffed out her cheeks and whispered.

"Teach me quickly, if you eat alone, I will report you to the professor——"

Elena glanced at the little beaver that was about to completely transform into her shape, and couldn't help but want to tease her a little bit, but considering that she had just provoked Hermione not long ago, she quickly turned her death-defying words into serious words. interpretation of scripture.

"Well, this is actually the primary application of transfiguration - liquids also have certain shapes. I just move them to the corresponding positions and then make fine adjustments based on your manuscript... similar to book printing. "

"Transfiguration, let me try it... Elena, help me use illusion magic to cover it."

Hermione nodded thoughtfully, a look of eagerness flashing in her amber eyes.

As a Gryffindor, although she usually seems to follow the rules, it is just because she believes that obeying the school's rules is what a student should and is most conducive to learning... But this does not mean that Hermione will not Seek shortcuts. .

"Of course there's no problem. Just wait for half a minute. I'll intercept the simulated scene first and use it as loop material..."

Elena agreed readily, not feeling any surprise.

You know, Hermione has never been a model student or a good girl who only listens to the teacher - in the original book, she burned Snape's robes in the first grade, and instigated Harry to blow up the potions crucible and steal magic in the second grade. Drugs and cheating to sign autographs to read banned books, the third grade traveled through time and space to rewrite the plot, the fourth grade established the elf liberation front, the fifth grade encouraged students to form a 'D.A'...

Compared to Elena, Hermione Granger's nature as a witch is slightly inferior only because she is still young.

Elena glanced at the light in Hermione's eyes and hummed happily.

"The witch of Gryffindor may be coming early..."

Perhaps, next semester, you can consider asking this little girl to be a "Committee for Discipline (Gryffindor)"?

Then, she gently pulled out her wand, and drew a mysterious and complicated arc under the cover of her skirt and desk.

"Dual Rewind Structure Transformation Magic" - Activate!

…………

Half an hour later, Professor Umbridge finally stopped switching the writing on the blackboard and stood up again.

She began to ask the students to read aloud what they had just copied. This was another extremely boring process. After repeated copying and reading, many students' eyes gradually became dull and numb, as if their souls had drifted out. Classroom.

What shocked and admired everyone was that even it was such a boring content and form.

The two little witches sitting in the front row of the classroom still showed no signs of distraction. Hermione and Elena concentrated on completing the various goals assigned by Professor Umbridge - that kind of enthusiastic learning attitude, and In the end, even Umbridge was a little shocked and had to stand up from her chair to read a few sentences from time to time.

After more than half an hour, the students gradually began to feel a little unable to hold on.

"Oh, students, let's stay here for today."

Professor Umbridge said, showing the small, pointed teeth in her mouth, and added with a raised eyebrow.

"I'm very sorry that except for a very small number of students, most of the gentlemen and ladies were distracted in the second half of the course. This kind of learning attitude is very bad. I hope that there will be some improvement in the next class. Improve……"

"Of course, as I said before class, there are clear rewards and punishments in my class."

Umbridge chuckled softly and continued in that coquettish tone.

"Miss Granger, Miss Kaslana, although you two were 2 minutes late, I saw a gratifying attitude from your performance in this class. You each won 10 points for your own college... …”

After a brief silence, the eyes of many students in the class slowly began to wake up from their numb state.

Regarding the decision of these two little witches to get extra points, no one was dissatisfied with it. After all, judging from the performance of this class, Elena and Hermione did show the performance of No.1 and No.2. An admirable learning attitude.

"Ahem, well, let me think about it, other than that..."

Professor Umbridge smiled more kindly and looked carefully at the two little witches who were still sitting upright.

"After this class, please ask two of you to help collect and check the excerpts. If any student has not completed the excerpt task, you can report the list to me when class next week - of course, at the same time If you have any homework from your classmates, please put it away and give it to me when the time comes."

As a senior official from the Ministry of Magic, she was not like other professors who did not share the workload.

Appropriately selecting some trustworthy assistants among the students can help her better manage the class, and at the same time, it can also give her the energy to take care of other tasks - in addition to being a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, Umbridge Or the investigator.

In addition to her spare time, she also takes time to evaluate and inspect the educational reform courses and make suggestions.

"As for the homework... Refer to our class content today and analyze in detail why Wilbert Slinka said that 'anti-jinx' is an inappropriate word, and how to distinguish between 'jinx' and 'non-jinx' boundaries."

Her bubbly eyes looked around the classroom, her voice slightly raised, becoming cold, sharp and harsh.

"It will be completed before class next Wednesday. It will be at least three feet long. No excuses will be made... Do you understand?"

There was a burst of weak answers in the classroom.

Before Umbridge could raise her eyebrows, a vigorous reply suddenly sounded in front of her.

"Okay, Professor Umbridge!"

After being reminded by Elena and Hermione, the students reacted belatedly and tried to muster up their last bit of energy to answer in unison to avoid being asked to answer again.

"Well, very good... I hope it can be more tidy next time..."

Umbridge pondered for a few seconds, seemingly hesitating whether to continue to assert her authority.

Due to the high learning status of Elena and Hermione and the lack of content, during the subsequent class process, she spent at least half of the time standing in class and reading the text. After standing for more than an hour, she also felt a little tired.

After hesitating for a moment, Umbridge finally snorted and waved her hand.

"That's it for today, after class -"

…………

at the same time.

"Okay, okay, get out of class is over...let this be a draw."

As Umbridge announced that get out of class was over, Elena breathed a sigh of relief.

Before Hermione could react, she quickly put away the chess pieces on the edge of the table, stuffed them into her schoolbag, and began to sort out the parchments and books written on the table, making sure that their positions were consistent with "outside." ” roughly coincide.

"You are cheating again, Elena - you obviously lost, Kf1-Bd4-Rc5..."

"I don't listen, I don't listen. That's just a possibility you calculated in advance. How do you know that I won't make a 'god move' that you can't imagine? An unfinished chess game is a draw. This is not common sense. What? Besides, I still have to be distracted to maintain the illusion."

"As a balance compensation, I have given you a knight and two soldiers. This is no excuse!"

"By the way, we have to collect our homework. Stop playing, stop playing, I will teach you a more interesting chess game next time."

Elena shook her head and tried to change the topic.

In the hour and a half just now, the great Fairy Queen, the eldest lady in charge of destiny, and the third-generation Dark Lord with all his plans experienced the most painful human-machine teaching in her life. She was ravaged to death by the terrifying humanoid AI. Lost confidence.

Human beings will never be able to defeat Calculator Ji.

Facts have proved that even if you are not a human being... it will not work.

Maybe next time she should find a way to try Go, or Chinese chess or something. Theoretically speaking, at least during the period when Hermione is familiar with the rules, she can still briefly experience the joy of ravaging a simple computer.

As for now, the most important thing is to restore the crime scene as soon as possible.
