Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard - Chapter 993

After the opening banquet, Minerva McGonagall, as the headmaster, invited several professors to go to the headmaster’s office on the eighth floor.

The first was Professor Sassia, and the remaining three deans.

Although Slughorn did not receive a definite invitation, he was thick-skinned, and it was impossible for others to drive him away.

“By the way.” McGonagall walked to the door and suddenly turned to Kyle and Connor and said, “You should come too. As a new professor, you always have to familiarize yourself with the specific work.”

“Principal, I am no longer a new professor.” Kyle said.

Although there are not many ancient runes courses, only one per week, it is considered to be there.

“But this is your first time teaching alchemy.”

“Okay, that makes sense.” Kyle immediately turned around and followed.

After the start of this semester, the style of the headmaster’s office has also changed. Most of the silverware that I don’t know what the function is is gone, and there are fewer cabinets, but there is a large bookshelf.

In addition to books, there are also a lot of seven or eight feet thick parchments, most of which are professional newspapers and magazines like “Transfiguration Today”…

In general, this place has become more like a real principal’s office.

The only thing that remains unchanged is the principals who pretend to sleep.

After Sassia came in, she immediately found the portrait of Delis Devonte and greeted her familiarly.

“Believe me, it’s still good to work in Hogwarts after retirement. Anyway, I’m glad I made this decision.” Devonte said with a smile.

She was also a healer at St. Mungo’s, and later joined Hogwarts as the principal. The two had almost the same experience.

“I hope so. I just hope those students won’t be too naughty now.” Sassia said softly.

St. Mungo’s also has a portrait of Devonte, and they are familiar with each other, as well as Phineas Black, Armando Dippet and Dumbledore.

Although their portraits were not in St. Mungo’s, they were familiar with Sassia, and this time it was like old friends meeting… Well, at least for Armando and Dumbledore, they were old friends of Sassia.

“To be honest, why couldn’t you accept my invitation when I was the headmaster?” Dumbledore sighed, “Before this, I have invited you countless times.”

“Because I can see that you don’t really want me to be the professor of potions. Maybe in your opinion, Slughorn is more suitable than me.” Sassia said. Then she waved her hand again,

“Just kidding, I just happened to finish most of the work. Besides, I can’t just walk away when a crisis occurs and let those young healers face Voldemort and his Death Eaters.

“There must be someone standing in front of St. Mungo’s, and I am willing to be the first one. “

There was a moment of silence in the headmaster’s office.

Slughorn opened his mouth and hesitated to speak, and Professor Flitwick couldn’t help but wipe his eyes.

Few people know that St. Mungo’s has always been one of the targets of Voldemort and the Death Eaters. The reason why there is peace there is not only Dumbledore’s secret help, but also the fact that the headmaster Sassia did a lot.

“Why do you all have such expressions?” Sassia didn’t seem to care about these things at all, and took the initiative to change the subject, “Minerva, is there something you want us to come here for?”

“It’s like this, I hope you can be the headmaster of Gryffindor College… if you don’t mind. “

Since she became the headmaster, the post of headmaster of Gryffindor College has been vacant. She had been holding the post part-time before, but it also took up a lot of her time.

The title of headmaster sounds nice, and there are countless things to do every day. These things may not be very important, but they must be very tedious.

For example, someone violated the school rules and broke into the forbidden area of ​​the castle at night, wandered in the corridors in the early morning, or ran to fight the troll alone in the first grade with full confidence…

These are the responsibilities of the headmaster, and then the principal will be notified. In other words, as long as a student violates the school rules, the headmaster of the corresponding college needs to deal with it.

And Gryffindor…for some reasons that everyone understands, McGonagall The professor also became the busiest dean.

In contrast, Professor Sprout was the most idle one. Like other professors, he spent a lot of time in the greenhouse every day to take care of the soft and fragile plants.

Everything at Hogwarts has returned to normal this year, and McGonagall is a little overwhelmed by the position of Gryffindor dean.

In fact, she wanted to share the position of dean last school year, but she had never found a suitable candidate.

She originally thought that Slughorn was very suitable, but the other party refused on the grounds that he was not a Gryffindor graduate.

She looked at Sassia and asked, “I remember that you seem to be a graduate of Gryffindor, right?”

“That’s right.” Sassia nodded, “I did study in Gryffindor.”

“Then it’s perfect for you to be the dean.”

“Yes, yes…”

“The principal is right. “

Sasiya was still hesitating, and other professors around her began to persuade her to agree.

In addition to some reasons that she was unwilling to talk about, there was also the fact that Sasiya was indeed qualified to be the dean.

“But I don’t know what I should do.” Sasiya said.

Although what she said was true, no one else cared…Would the former dean of St. Mungo’s be stumped by a dean?

Obviously impossible.

“It’s okay. I think your teaching assistants, including our new alchemy class professor, will be happy to help.”

Kyle and Kangna, who were outside the crowd, subconsciously raised their heads, as if they didn’t expect that they were involved in this.

Kangna was the first to come to her senses and nodded.

Although she didn’t know what a dean should do, since Principal McGonagall said so, she might as well agree to it first.

She nodded, and Kyle naturally wouldn’t refuse.

I didn’t care about them after that.

Principal McGonagall’s visit this time was more like organizing a meeting, allowing the new Head of Gryffindor to meet everyone.

Then there is the formulation of a new course schedule.

This is also an annual process. Last year, because Dumbledore suddenly returned to a hundred years ago, this process was completed in Professor McGonagall’s office at that time, so Kyle did not know about it.

When the new class schedule came out, Kyle took a look at it and wondered if it was intentional, but his alchemy class was scheduled to be the last day.

But this also made him feel a little relieved.

If the class really started tomorrow, he might not be able to prepare for it, but now it was just right. He had enough time to prepare for the first class.

Principal McGonagall said some more things that needed attention, and the professors were about to leave.

Connor is still with Sasia.

Their relationship is very much like that of Kyle and Newt, a teacher and a student in a sense.

After the two left, Snape also walked toward the door, but when he passed Kyle, he suddenly stopped.

“I wish you good luck, Professor Alchemy. I hope you won’t be too disappointed when you see a classroom with few people.”

His voice was drawn out, with a hint of sarcasm.

“You must feel honored that you have surpassed Professor Babling.”

Kyle curled his lips and said nothing.

Of course he knew what Snape meant. Because it was a new course, there were very few students choosing to take the Alchemy class this year. There were only fifteen students in all grades combined, and there were sixteen in Ancient Runes.

In other words, the Alchemy class directly broke the monopoly held by ancient runes for many years, and had the honor of becoming the class with the smallest number of students at Hogwarts.

But Kyle didn’t find it strange. As a new course, students above the fourth grade would definitely not sign up, so those fifteen people must all be third-year students.

But Ancient Runes has five grades, so it’s normal for the number of people to be larger than the Alchemy class.

Seeing that Kyle didn’t answer, Snape, who felt a bit like asking for trouble, stopped continuing, shook his head vigorously, and strode towards the door.

Kyle still didn’t move.

It wasn’t until all the professors left that he looked up at Principal McGonagall.

“I know what you want to ask.” Principal McGonagall smiled, “This is Dumbledore’s intention. He seems to want to give you a surprise.”

“This is not a surprise, it’s more like a shock.” Kyle complained, “Fortunately, I guessed it from Hagrid in advance, otherwise I would not have been able to react when I was in the auditorium.”

“Maybe this is the effect he wanted.” Armando Dippet’s portrait said faintly.

No principal retorted, including Dumbledore’s own portrait, who pretended not to hear anything and stared at the stones on the ground in a daze.

“Maybe… that’s the case.” Principal McGonagall said hesitantly, “But as the school director and the main funder of the alchemy classroom, I have no way to refuse this small decision of his.

“But I have arranged your classes as late as possible. In addition, since there is only one grade, you only need to attend one class a week. I believe you can solve this little trouble.”

“No problem, Principal.” Kyle nodded.

He also read about the alchemy class just now. The textbook is “Basic Alchemy: From Magic Texts to Symbols” written by Professor Victor.

They are all the most basic content. Kyle can talk about it without looking at the textbook. He is worried about another thing.

“Headmaster, Professor Dumbledore is back?”

“How is that possible?” Mag waved his hand and took out a letter from the drawer. “That’s all what he wrote in the letter in advance.”

“Has the letter… been kept in the principal’s office?”

“No.” McGonagall shook her head, “To be honest, I only received this letter a week ago, and it was sent to Hogwarts together with a huge brass furnace.

“Tell me what kind of rotary furnace it is.”

“Material transformation furnace.” Kyle stood up.

This was what he was worried about just now. The textbook is easy to explain and the content that needs to be taught is simple. The only thing that needs to be paid attention to in the alchemy class is the material transformation furnace.

Especially for young wizards who have almost zero mastery of magic texts, this kind of thing is essential.

He had hesitated many times. There were very few students at Hogwarts who chose ancient runes. Would they really choose the alchemy class?

After all, the magic texts required for alchemy are more complicated and complicated.

But now Dumbledore has made the choice for him, and even sent the conversion furnace.

“Yes, that’s the name.” Mag said: “Sorry, I don’t know much about alchemy, and I have never heard that a brass furnace is needed to make magic items.”

“Most people have never heard of it.” Kyle smiled, “This thing can replace the magic text and greatly reduce the difficulty for beginners.”

“Excuse me, Headmaster, can I ask where it is?” Kyle asked impatiently.

“Third floor, in the corridor near the stairs… Never mind, I’ll take you there.”

The two left the Headmaster’s office and came to an empty classroom on the third floor.

This was where Lockhart used to take Defense Against the Dark Arts class before, and now it and the next door classroom have become alchemy classes.

After the middle wall was demolished, this became the largest classroom in Hogwarts.

The brass furnace was placed on the left side of the classroom.

Kyle pushed the door open and walked in.

“How does it feel?”

“Exactly the same.”

“What?”

“Oh, it’s exactly the same as what I saw in Beauxbatons.”

“In fact, this was sent from Beauxbatons.”

Headmaster McGonagall couldn’t help but think of the scene when she received this thing.

Five huge rune horses fell from the sky, and when they fell, they even smashed a huge deep pit in the venue.

Such a heavy thing can only be delivered by the rune horses unique to Beauxbatons.

“Beauxbatons…” Kyle was stunned for a moment.

He had always thought that this material conversion furnace was made by Dumbledore himself, but now it seems that he asked someone to customize it.

“Principal, did Professor Dumbledore say anything else in the letter?”

“No.” McGonagall took out the parchment in her pocket and opened it.

There was very little content on it, just asking for confidentiality and giving Kyle a surprise.

Kyle took another look at the envelope. There was only the address on it, and he couldn’t tell whether it was written recently.

“Any questions?”

“No.” Kyle shook his head after coming to his senses.

In any case, Dumbledore helped him solve the most troublesome problem. With this material conversion furnace, it would be much more convenient for him to go to class.

Kyle walked around the furnace for a while, touching it here and there, and didn’t leave until after curfew.

Principal McGonagall didn’t know when she had left, and Kyle was the only one in the dark corridor.

As he walked out of the castle, he was thinking about how to take this alchemy class in the future.

The furnace sent by Dumbledore can help solve the problem of magic runes, but students in alchemy class cannot use the furnace all the time. Learning magic runes is essential.

Including in Beauxbatons, only students in lower grades can use the furnace, which is considered a transitional period for them to learn magic runes.

But in Hogwarts… there are notoriously few students who choose to learn ancient runes.

Kyle walked along the grounds towards his cabin. Looking at the castle under the moonlight, he suddenly thought of the Hogwarts map he had made.

Maybe he can go to Hogsmeade to ask Fred and George for help.

The biggest difference between alchemy and ancient runes is that those alchemical items are really valuable.

Compared with the grades on the test sheet and a dispensable certificate, the golden galleons seem to be more attractive and can provide more motivation for the little wizard to learn.
