Chapter 231 Eve Flamel and Reuben Quixote

The audience burst into warm applause again.

However, Professor Flitwick, who was the person involved, stood there with a confused look on his face, his face constantly changing, turning blue and purple, with no expression of joy at all.

It wasn't until Professor McGonagall on the side poked Flitwick that he came back to his senses, showed a smile that was uglier than crying, nodded mechanically, and then sat down.

Pista, who was sitting next to him, had no idea what Flitwick was thinking.

This guy was probably frightened by his previous alarmist remarks. When he heard that he was going to be the headmaster of Ravenclaw College, he found it hard to accept it.

Thinking of this, Pest couldn't help but chuckle.

It was at this moment that Principal Dippet introduced him: "This year we are going to offer a new course, Alchemy! Alchemy has a long history, and Beauxbatons College has had a tradition of learning alchemy for hundreds of years.

This year, the three schools are jointly studying, so Hogwarts will also teach alchemy. Since there are too many students in the class, we have a total of two professors of alchemy.

One is Professor Pest Cowan who has just joined Hogwarts, and the other is Professor Eve Flamel from Beauxbatons. "

As soon as he finished speaking, Pester Cowan stood up and nodded to everyone.

At the same time, a beautiful female professor in her early thirties who was sitting under the Ravenclaw table stood up, nodded, looked around and then sat down very gracefully.

Although Eve Flamel acted extremely calmly, the entire auditorium was no longer calm at this time, and many students began to whisper in private.

"Oh my God, it's Eve Flamel!! How is that possible!? Did you really invite Eve Flamel here!? I heard she was coming last semester, and I thought it was the school bragging!" A Booth Barton's students exclaimed

"Who is Eve Flamel? Is she famous?" asked an unknown Gryffindor student.

"Ms. Eve Flamel is the most famous young alchemist of our time and plays an important role in the academic world of alchemy. You go to Hogwarts far away from the mainland and focus on studying potions, a branch of alchemy. Over time, you have not understood the current academic world of alchemy. The world is also normal."

"Bullshit, what is a branch of alchemy! Contemporary alchemy is branched from potions!" Some students argued: "The great alchemist of the fourteenth century, Mr. Nick Flamel, got inspiration from potions. He made fundamental theoretical innovations for today’s alchemical theory.”

"A bunch of ignorant British guys, you know nothing! Alchemy has been around since ancient times, and potions is just a branch of alchemy. Mr. Nick Flamel did get inspiration from potions and laid the foundation for today's alchemy, but You can’t deny that potions is still a branch of alchemy!”

Listening to the students arguing not far away, Qin Weijie looked at Professor Eve Flamel with interest: "Eve Flamel? Nick Flamel? Same surname, are they from the same family?"

Elena: "You guessed it right, Ms. Eve Flamel is indeed the 11th generation great-great-granddaughter of Mr. Nick Flamel."

"You seem to understand it very well!"

"Don't forget that I have joined the Omniscient Alchemy Society, so I naturally need to know a lot about alchemy-related news."

"Oh," Qin Weijie suddenly realized: "By the way, I just heard them arguing about potions and alchemy. It seemed quite interesting. I want to hear your opinion."

"What can you say? Even if you argue that potions is a branch of alchemy, or that alchemy is a branch of potions, what's the point? Both are extremely useful magical knowledge, there is no difference between them! ”

Qin Weijie smiled: "Hey, that's a very clear idea! Whether or not the two subjects are superior or inferior is of no use to you or me. What knowledge brings to us is the most important!"

"Your original intention was not to ask me about the differences between potions and alchemy. Your real intention was probably to think about which professor's course you should take."

Qin Weijie nodded noncommittally: "At first I thought I had to choose one, but now I realize how stupid I am. Why should I choose? I want them all!"

Elena was too lazy to talk to Qin Weijie and continued to read with her head down.

Principal Dippet on the stage continued to introduce the teacher lineup.

"In addition, in order to cope with the current situation, this year we specially hired a master of martial arts to teach everyone the knowledge of fighting.

This is also to prevent problems before they happen. After all, if a wizard loses his wand, he is worse than a strong Muggle. Let us applaud Professor Desmond Carvis. "

Dippet introduced loudly.

Desmond stood up and motioned to everyone. His resolute face and gnarled muscles made many girls' eyes shine.

"Fighting!?" Elena squeaked and cursed: "Is the school crazy? Do they want us to turn into curly-haired baboons with brains full of muscles? Such courses are meaningless at all. Anyway, I don't I’ll take it as an elective!”

Elena whispered in the audience, but Dippet continued: "This year our fighting skills are taught as a compulsory course. All students must undergo fighting training. In addition to having a sharp mind, wizards must also You need a strong body."

Elena was petrified on the spot, while Qin Weijie couldn't help but laugh and stroke the two dogs beside him, for fear that Elena would find him snickering.

"In addition, everyone must have heard that Dean Selwyn submitted his resignation to the school not long ago, so the positions of Dean of Hufflepuff House and Professor of Herbology are vacant."

As Dippet was speaking, a student asked, "Professor Dippet, can you tell us why Professor Selwyn left?"

Hearing the student's question, Dippet looked slightly unhappy, but still smiled and said, "Actually, this is good news. It's okay to tell everyone. Dean Selwyn is pregnant, so she has to temporarily leave her job to take care of the baby, so she will temporarily leave Hogwarts."

Hearing this, Qin Weijie couldn't help but exclaimed.

I didn't expect Aunt Katie to be pregnant...I thought Aunt Katie had left because something big had happened.

It seems necessary to send a congratulatory letter to Aunt Katie.

"Although Dean Selwyn has temporarily left Hogwarts, we have also welcomed a new teacher, Professor Reuben Quixote, who will take over the position of Professor of Herbology and Head of Hufflepuff."

"Professor Reuben Quixote is extremely accomplished in herbology. He was the Director of the Herb Research Office of the Department for the Management and Control of Magical Creatures of the Ministry of Magic. He has rich academic theories and has published "Herb Illustrated Book", "Aquatic Plant Care", "Biotoxicology"..."

The principal introduced on the stage. The strange professor who was sitting on the left of Desmond, wearing a retro corset and looking very funny, stood up, opened his big toad-like mouth to reveal yellow teeth, and showed a smile that made people laugh.

At the same time, the principal introduced a lot of book names that Qin Weijie had never heard of, which made Qin Weijie dizzy.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it seems that this professor has something, and his works are numerous..."

Hearing Qin Weijie's sigh, Elena, who was sitting opposite, snorted coldly and turned a page of the book angrily: "I can see that you haven't read his book."
