Chapter 841 An Unknown Premonition From Hermione
Even when new curriculum standards are being implemented, the lower grades of Hogwarts can still enjoy weekends for the time being.
Unlike senior students who have added minor courses and have to take extra classes on Saturdays, first- and second-year students can still comfortably huddle in the library, lounge, or lie in the shade of a tree by the lake at this time. Next, I looked at the giant squid that occasionally surfaced, and the Care of Magical Creatures class going on in the forest clearing in the distance.
Except, of course, Elena Kaslana.
She was given detention by Horace Slughorn for brazenly cooking "white soup puffer" in Potions class, and spent Saturday afternoon in the Potions Master's office to reflect... which meant she wasted her first weekend of school. .
"...Hey, this is my first time in solitary confinement..."
Those bad wizards hiding in Hogwarts, such as Tom Riddle and Dolores Umbridge, may appear a little disappointed because they have not experienced the complete Hogwarts life. A regretful personality.
As for Elena, she obviously does not belong to the kind of wizard who lacks love, responsibility, and justice.
Just like the Harry Potter trio in the original work, even if they are put in solitary confinement, copied sentences, and deducted points every semester, whether they blow up cauldrons, steal things, or burn robes... But everyone knows that the three of them are righteous. The good wizard.
Elena, who said goodbye to Quirinus Quirrell and finished inspecting her "territory", comforted herself like this while slowly returning to the entrance of Hogwarts Castle.
As expected, several other little wings were already waiting there.
In view of the mix of people in Academy City and the many secrets involved, no students except Elena can leave the gate of Hogwarts and go to the areas where the researchers are - the professors of Hogwarts, the family members, etc. Elves and even researchers from the former Soviet Union will also be responsible for the implementation of this ban.
"So, what exactly is outside the school?"
Hannah Abbott stood on tiptoes and looked behind Elena, asking curiously.
"Luna said you received a Niffler. I've only seen it in books and never seen one alive! I heard there is a small and exquisite nest and many small toys. Elena, what are you talking about? Got a new little pet?”
"Oh, that...that's a large black-haired hamster, which Muggles like to keep."
Elena replied without hesitation, the little idiot on top of her head was extremely sincere, "Hogwarts is not suitable for it to live in, so I sent it outside the school. When I left, it ran happily in the cage. Run away!"
"As for outside the school...well, it's not a secret anyway. I'll tell you a little bit in advance."
Elena paused for a moment, looked around warily, and whispered mysteriously.
"Well, most of those professors in the 'preparatory period' whose courses have not yet met the standards are now readjusting their lesson plans to prepare for the new round of assessments at Hogwarts. If the assessment is successful, the school will consider adding corresponding subjects in the future, such as The biochemistry, physics, geography that you were exposed to last year... If you are interested, I can..."
"Not interested, I'm not interested at all! Elena, don't say such terrible things on the weekend!"
Hannah seemed to remember something extremely terrible, and shook her head quickly to resist.
Although those awkward and wonderful "introductory knowledge of biology" helped her quickly master the runes.
But if Hannah Abbott was given a choice, she would still rather fall asleep in a warm and soft bed than be woken up at a cold and hard library table - what ATP, what phosphoric acid, it's terrible.
On the contrary, Hermione Granger frowned slightly thoughtfully.
Judging from Bai Mao Tuanzi's stupid reaction, this is at least a "superficially" true description.
In other words, those who live outside the school are indeed "reserve professors." Since there are no wizards capable of teaching this knowledge in the magical world, the true identities of these "professors" are naturally self-evident. .
In the magic school Hogwarts, will non-magical scholars be introduced on a large scale?
Hermione Granger felt a twinge of uneasiness in her heart.
However, she didn't know where this unreasonable uneasiness came from.
Judging from the current situation, whether it is Dumbledore, the Ministry of Magic, the school board...all the symbols that represent the authority of the wizarding world are almost without exception involved in this education reform project, and there are even hidden secrets behind it. With the full cooperation of Gringotts Wizarding Bank, this brings together almost all the power and voices in the wizarding world.
But...Hermione's eyes swept over Luna's face, which looked normal.
The witch with the strongest premonition ability among them did not show any uneasiness.
But for some reason, Hermione became more and more confused. She clearly felt that she seemed to have caught the tail of something dangerous - something that Elena and even Dumbledore might have overlooked... …
"Hey, Hermione, why are you looking so worried?"
Hannah screamed and turned her head to look at Hermione, as if she was meeting this "know-it-all" lady for the first time.
"This is not like your style. Didn't you complain yesterday that the course was too easy and hoped for more new content?"
In Hannah's impression, unlike ordinary "ordinary people" like them, Hermione's strong thirst for knowledge is almost like the flame of a phoenix that never goes out when faced with those troublesome esoteric knowledge.
You know, even Elena can be impatient sometimes, but Hermione is not.
Hermione Granger suppressed the worry on her face, shook her head, and said softly.
"It's not because of this, I just suddenly had an ominous premonition, but I can't explain why. Anyway, we will take this white-haired dumpling to the solitary confinement first. Horace Slughorn is probably already in the office. .”
"Eh?! An ominous premonition?"
Elena raised her eyebrows in surprise and curled her lips strangely.
Hermione Granger nodded solemnly.
"Yes, Elena, I suggest you find Professor Dumbledore to review the case again. Moreover, you'd better stay in the office obediently when you are in solitary confinement, and don't... you know... I feel something is wrong.”
"...Okay, okay, I have always been a good and obedient girl."
Elena nodded helplessly and said perfunctorily.
If Luna Lovegood had said that, she might have given it some thought.
But in Elena's impression, Miss Hermione Calculator Granger's talent in "Sky Eyes" has always been quite weak. "I have an unknown premonition" comes from Hermione. It was so weird coming out of my mouth.
Moreover, it is different from the previous shameful "expansion of the Dark Lord's power".
This time's new curriculum standard plan is an aboveboard magic education reform that is recognized by all walks of life.
Professor Horace Slughorn's plan and roster have already been arranged. There is really no need to stop at this time. Besides a little cooperation, Elena does not intend to let anyone go. The old professor saw too much of the core content.
"Don't worry, I will admit my mistakes properly in the office and won't mess around..."
A moment later, standing at the door of Professor Horace Slughorn's office, Elena pinched Hermione's nose affectionately and said with a smile, then opened the office door and walked into the room with the flickering firelight of the fireplace. warm room.
However, wait until the door is closed again.
Elena raised her head and looked at the two old wizards sitting by the fireplace, but the first thing she said was:
"I'm very sorry, Elena Kaslana may not be able to appear in the office today..."
