Hogwarts on the tip of the tongue

After breakfast that day, Professor McGonagall intercepted Dumbledore at the table.

"Professor Dumbledore, this will cause chaos! No professor has ever had the right to censor other teachers!"

Professor McGonagall's breathing was rapid and her eyes were shining brightly. "I admit that it is necessary to standardize professional titles, but don't you think that the power granted to Ms. Umbridge by you and the Ministry of Magic is too great. This is too hasty. Got some!"

"I know it's a bit quick and easy," Dumbledore said.

He looked around at the little wizards who were leaving the auditorium, watching Elena being lost in the crowd.

Compared with the classmates around her who are gradually starting to grow, the past year has not left any trace on the girl. Elena, who is still 1.2 meters tall, quickly became the shortest kid in the grade after entering second grade.

According to Nico Flamel's speculation, the growth period of this little hybrid Veela is almost three times that of a normal human wizard.

Even without using any magic potions to extend her life, Elena can easily live for several centuries. She has plenty of time to fulfill her ideals bit by bit, even if it is just the stupidest way. In hundreds of years, It will also condense into a vast and irresistible torrent - but he and Grindelwald can't wait that much time.

On the other hand, the non-magical world will not give the magical world much time.

In as short as half a century or as long as a century, this generation of wizards will definitely face the day when they are completely exposed.

"Minerva, I trust every professor in the school, just as I trust you."

Dumbledore pondered for a moment and said in a very serious voice.

"Professor Umbridge's rights are limited to censorship. She is more about recording than interfering in the classroom. Hogwarts has trained thousands of outstanding wizards over the decades, which shows that our courses are generally It has stood the test of time - but with the changes of the times, part of the course content has obviously lagged behind. Finding these areas and improving them is the meaning of the Ministry of Magic sending a 'Senior Investigator' to Hogwarts. But of course, …”

Dumbledore paused for half a second and winked mischievously.

"As the Vice-Principal of Hogwarts, Professor McGonagall, if you have any dissatisfaction or comments, you can directly explain it to Professor Umbridge - in Hogwarts, you should not have Have you exercised this right?"

"The...rights of the Vice-Chancellor? But Professor Dumbledore..."

Professor McGonagall frowned in confusion. In her impression, Hogwarts did not indicate these things.

Compared with normal professors, the positions of principal and vice-president are more instrumental in terms of opening banquets, welcoming new students, and external reception. As for special rights, there seems to be no corresponding introduction.

"Oh, the principal and vice-principal can compile and revise school rules, Minerva."

Professor Dumbledore said softly with a meaningful smile on his face.

"In fact, I have communicated with the school board and the Ministry of Magic some time ago. In view of the new curriculum reform in the coming period, the school rules will naturally be adjusted accordingly. As the deputy principal of Hogwarts, this is your basic right... …and responsibility.”

"Revise the school rules..."

Professor McGonagall raised her eyebrows and smiled, as if she had thought of something pleasant.

"What's wrong?" Dumbledore asked curiously.

"Oh, I just suddenly thought of something happy," Professor McGonagall said happily, "In the past year, students have taken advantage of too many loopholes in school rules and disciplines. It would be convenient if they could be compiled and revised at any time. too much."

Compared with the course content, in Professor McGonagall's opinion, Hogwarts' school rules are what need to be improved as soon as possible.

Since last year, there have been too many "outlaws" who dance on the edge of school rules in Hogwarts. When faced with those "smart" students who take advantage of loopholes in school rules, it is difficult for even professors to maintain a calm attitude. ——The most troublesome thing is that this problem student is like a virus, spreading in the castle at a speed visible to the naked eye.

For example, students who threatened the Sorting Hat, students who fried fish in the Black Lake, students who directed group fights, students who ransacked the kitchen... There were too many students with such problems, and she had long wanted to deal with them. .

"Well, what I want to say is..."

Dumbledore looked at the bright smile on Professor McGonagall's face, and his heart suddenly tightened.

"In Hogwarts Castle, school rules not only apply to students, they also apply to school staff - if you think there is anything wrong with Professor Umbridge's review process, you can even directly..."

"Don't worry, Professor Dumbledore, I will keep Hogwarts peaceful and peaceful."

Professor McGonagall said quickly, with an eager look in her eyes.

"I have to go to class first. It would be too bad if all the students arrive but find that the professor has not arrived yet. Besides, there is still the review and review of the 'Senior Investigator', and I don't want that lady to catch me." What's the handle..."

Professor McGonagall said and quickly turned around and walked towards the other side of the auditorium.

Today is Friday, and tomorrow is the Quidditch match. She has plenty of time to think about the details of the revised school rules.

As for "Senior Investigator" Ms. Umbridge, she will not appear in the Transfiguration class for the time being. Compared with the ancient and traditional Transfiguration and Charms, if she really wants to find fault, she will definitely choose Those courses are more varied, account for more of the planning requirements for future professional titles, and are taught by younger professors.

Therefore, until then, Minerva McGonagall preferred to focus her energy elsewhere.

"Miss Kaslana has been surprisingly peaceful recently. It would have been great if she had been like this last year!"

Professor McGonagall sighed softly, looking across the classroom.

It is now the Transfiguration class of Class A of the second grade. However, the white-haired Lolita, who is the "squad leader", did not appear in class with other students. However, this is not considered skipping class. This was approved by her and Dumbledore. Course exemptions.

Unlike other students, Elena's transfiguration is closer to the ancient alchemy.

Before fully mastering this ability, recklessly trying to follow modern transformation techniques is an extremely dangerous thing for Elena or other students in the classroom - for To explain this, Nico Flamel specifically demonstrated an alchemical transformation of "annihilation" and "reorganization" for Professor McGonagall.

Therefore, Elena's Transfiguration course was adjusted to every weekend evening.

As one of the few registered Animagus in the wizarding world today, Professor McGonagall will teach the Veela-inspired hybrid little guy one-on-one how to control his power until the end of Saturday's Quidditch match. The first class of this semester.

In a sense, this is actually closer to the wild Veela's ability mastery path.

Most of them first learn how to transform, and then gradually acquire other magical abilities.

Of course, course exemption does not mean that Elena can play in the dormitory leisurely. All Elena's second-year transfiguration courses have been replaced by another senior elective course, perhaps, with senior students. The description is not quite accurate.

…………

Hogwarts corridors roughly a few minutes ago.

"...Miss, this way, over there is the Charms classroom."

Bill Weasley took a half step forward, blocking the wrong direction just right, and said carefully.

"Why don't you let me lead the way in class later? I will slow down appropriately and you will be right behind..."

"Do you think I don't know the way?"

Elena raised her eyebrows and said with some dissatisfaction.

"Also, don't use honorifics to me, just call me Elena. There are too many 'surveillances' in Hogwarts, ghosts, portraits, armor, house elves... If you can't cultivate it at any time, If you have the habit of being vigilant, you will cause big trouble sooner or later.”

As the Foundation's O5 level [Miss Fool], she would naturally not let Bill, a reliable worker, go.

As for getting lost, being crazy on the road, etc., this is nothing at all.

Besides her, there are at least one and a half top wizards in the world who are also road fools.

Moreover, Muggle Studies is not a strong subject. Even if she was late for most of the class, Professor Quirinus Quirrell would not dare to deduct her points - he is an extremely rare person who has been trained by three Dark Lords. A lucky man.

"Uh, okay, A-Elena? I think we should turn left now."

Bill Weasley scratched his cheek with a wry smile and said tentatively.

Since Her Highness the Witch was assigned to the same class as him, leading Elena to the classroom on time has become Bill's regular job every week. As the former senior curse-breaker at Gringotts, he can be said to be the best in the entire school. One of the people who knew Elena.

In other words, the person who knows the Fairy Queen of Gringotts best.

This was a ruthless character who executed hundreds of rebel goblins and massacred half of the Presbyterian Church without any hesitation.

Compared with her cuteness in school, the one that impressed Bill Weasley most deeply in his mind was still the execution that happened directly in front of him when he was responsible for breaking the curse in the Egyptian pyramids a few months ago. ——Although Elena Kaslana did not appear at the scene at the time, the coldness in the Queen's words was enough to make people's hair stand on end.

The goblin is not some weak, philistine businessman.

These bloodthirsty magical creatures will only surrender to those who are more powerful and cunning. If Elena has the slightest flaw or weakness in the hearts of the goblins, they will definitely swarm up and tear her flesh and blood instead of treating her as their queen.

"You seem to be afraid of me? Weasley...do you think I'm a bad person?"

Elena turned around as if feeling something, and glanced at the Foundation B-class member behind her.

"Don't worry, I'm not so stingy as to silence everyone who finds out that I'm a road idiot. Besides, I don't think anyone will publicize the embarrassment of others when they are occasionally confused. Okay, okay, you will be the first to find the classroom in class from now on. that is……"

In fact, personally, she quite admires this handsome eldest brother of the Weasley family.

If the future world line remains unchanged, he may even have a chance to marry a quarter-blood half-blood Veela. In a sense, Bill is almost the best and luckiest child of the Weasley family of this generation. .

As for Ron?Anyway, given Hermione's strong character, Elena didn't think the two would be happy after marriage in the original book.

Due to a delay on the road, by the time the two arrived at the classroom, the class had already started.

Of course, compared to before, the lateness this time is almost negligible.

Elena stopped outside the Muggle Studies classroom, opened the door, and sneaked in.

Since she was late for the first time, Professor Quirrell had changed the layout of this classroom. The Muggle Studies podium was moved to the other end of the classroom, and the entrance position naturally became the last row of seats.

All students sitting in the last row will be called to the front by Professor Quirrell before class starts.

I have to admit that in terms of how to serve the Dark Lord, the competitive pressure in Hogwarts is still relatively high.

"Come in, Weasley. If you arrive before get out of class, you won't be late. Keep a low profile—"

However, unlike usual, this time the last row was not empty.

In the shadow of the last row of the classroom, a giant pink toad was sitting.

With the slight sound of opening the door, the big pink toad slowly turned its head, and its slightly bulging eyes fell on Bill Weasley who was standing outside the door. The curvature of the corners of his mouth gradually widened, as if he was about to pop out his tongue to capture Flying insects.

"Professor Umbridge? What a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you."

Elena was stunned for half a second, then quickly regained her composure, sat down in her seat skillfully and began to listen to the lecture.

Bill Weasley also reacted quickly, closed the door quietly, pretended that nothing happened, sat next to Elena as usual, opened his schoolbag, took out textbooks, paper and pens and put them away in order.

In fact, apart from being in awe of the "Fairy Queen", Bill often easily treats Elena as his sister.

Whether it's her quirkiness or her careless personality, Elena has many similarities with Ginny Weasley.

The only difference may be that compared to little Ginny who still needs his protection for the time being, the reason why Professor Dumbledore repeatedly told him to follow up with Elena was mainly because he hoped that he could protect her before [Miss Fool] broke out. Find ways to get ahead of the problem and save as much as you can from Elena's "eyeless villain" or the historic castle of Hogwarts.

And now, it is undoubtedly such a crisis moment.

"H-hmm!"

While Professor Quirrell was still explaining seriously how Muggles traveled long distances without magic, Professor Umbridge's artificial cough suddenly sounded in the classroom, attracting everyone's attention. class students' attention.

"Sorry, Professor Quirrell, to interrupt a little."

Umbridge said with a smile, and made a few simple strokes on the notebook with her stubby fingers.

"I noticed that just a few seconds ago, two students had just stepped into the classroom... They were late for about, well, ten minutes, and I thought I should give you a heads up - but I'm not sure about Hogwarts How to maintain classroom discipline in general.”

It was obvious that a certain "senior investigator" had finally found prey that he could kill.

Elena Kaslana, the privileged student, and...the Muggle Studies class that disgusted her the most.
