Chapter 375 Andrew's Substitute Teacher
‘Is it that serious? ’
Andrew looked a little panicked as he watched Professor McGonagall leave.
He is only a third grade student! This is against the rules! Even if Hogwarts really recruits a new professor and makes an exception, the first class should be attended by an old professor!
If it were a normal school, the academic affairs department should come over to inspect classes! Although Hogwarts has no academic affairs, this matter, this matter...
This matter doesn't seem to be a big one - Professor Alice is assisting in the review when it comes to finances. As for teaching, if there is really an investigation, he will probably have to run the errands.
'I don't know how to go to class, so I can just study on my own...'
After treating the class tasks as self-study, Andrew suddenly felt confident - he really understood the content, but he had never taken the class. It was just embarrassing to ask him to take the class, but it was not a big problem to tutor him for self-study.
Thinking of this, he pushed open the door and stepped onto the podium in a few steps. He tapped the podium with his wand to make it lower. He was now a little over 1.62 meters tall, which was shorter than the professor. He had to adjust it. Comfortable.
"Quiet, the professor has something to do in this class, I will take him for a self-study."
“Long live self-study!”
The familiar Ravenclaw cheered, and Andrew glanced at him, "Stand back, bring your textbooks, and no noise is allowed."
The cheers stopped suddenly, and the rest of the students who were preparing to celebrate seemed to be under a petrification spell. They stopped moving their hands and looked at Andrew with a confused look in their eyes. 'No, Taylor, are you serious? ’
"While the professor hasn't come back, I'm going to talk about some of the content of this lesson in advance." Andrew spread his textbook directly on the podium. "I'll only talk about the details once. If you don't understand, you can ask questions, and then check - have you checked? Stand behind the academy."
As he spoke, he pulled out a piece of chalk, turned around, threw it out, and then snapped his fingers - under the gaze of a bunch of classmates, the chalk directly deformed, forming a picture made of words on the blackboard.
Those were the standard communication points and spell-casting gesture instructions for transfiguration in this lesson. It was embarrassing to say that the standard version was what he had just reviewed from the textbook.
‘It’s much easier than writing a legend, after all, I’m confident. ’
Andrew turned around and looked at his astonished classmates, "That's the gist of it. First, everyone will read it aloud with me."
"Merlin's socks, Andrew, what did the professor teach you?"
Another student who was not afraid of trouble asked in surprise.
"A bit of everything, Hal. Take your books and go to the back to listen to the class."
Andrew unceremoniously drove his roommates to the back, "Okay, let's start reading aloud."
The effect of sacrificing roommates to heaven is very good. Of course, it may also have something to do with the disguised wandless spellcasting. Anyway, everyone has really calmed down now and started reading along with Andrew's rhythm.
After reading it twice with his classmates, Andrew turned around and said, "I'm going to demonstrate it first, so pay attention."
The content of Transfiguration in the third year is very confusing. In fact, the entire Hogwarts Transfiguration course is not consistent with Andrew's self-study process.
Andrew's self-study follows the general process of transforming a dead object, transforming a living creature into a dead object, transforming within a range, transforming a dead object into a living creature, a living creature transforming into another living creature, and a living creature transforming into a magical creature, but Hogwarts' In actual teaching, the boundaries are not so strict.
The larger the object, the greater the strength of the spell required to transform it. Therefore, the first-grade objects are transformed to a size that their spell strength can control. In fact, first-year students have actually begun to dabble in minor tricks of turning living objects into dead objects.
Although Andrew relied on his talent to get through all the way, he was still familiar with the course arrangement and knew why the professor arranged it this way - the difficulty of the subsequent courses was a bit higher, but he could still get through it with time, even if it was If you are not talented enough, but if you are willing to work hard, you will be able to master the following series of spells over time. You will not be able to get started in any grade when your talent is not enough to keep up. .
There was no way to perform dazzling transformations during demonstrations. The more standard magic was, the easier it was for people to understand - he walked straight to the center of the crowd and started to transform in the middle of the classroom.
Easily, the watermelon seeds used as materials for transfiguration sprouted tentacles and limbs, and began to crawl up and down Andrew's hands.
“That’s it, our class is not very demanding, as long as you can crawl,” he smiled, “Of course, those who transform into the shape of a beetle will receive additional declarations, and it would be even better if they have wings and can fly.
He poked the running melon seed with his wand - it easily turned into a golden beetle, then flew around the entire classroom, and finally landed in Andrew's hand.
"Again, the requirements are not high. If you can climb, you are considered qualified!"
As he spoke, he began to distribute melon seeds.
'Stop it, Tyler, you can't stick your wands in and let them fly to the desks of your classmates. That would be the end of it. It's okay for the professor to do it. If you do that, they will probably have a shadow on this class. . ’
He distributed them one by one, then walked to the end of the classroom and pointed with his wand at the broken tables and chairs piled up in the corner. They were put together and transformed into a crude and unusually high table.
"If you can't learn how to transform here before get out of class is over..."
He looked at the three unlucky guys from his college and said, "I will apply for a week of confinement for you."
Hal looked at Andrew with an unusual amount of information in his eyes, 'Andrew, just be a human being. ’
"Be honest and transform, and the first one to complete it, I will declare extra points."
He doesn't have the image of a professor who needs attention. He starts walking around the classroom and whispers what's wrong with the students.
'The pressure is extremely high...'
Andrew had to admit that he really relied on his talent - at least when giving individual help to other students, it was difficult for him to understand why the other party couldn't understand a very simple sentence.
Fortunately, he had accumulated enough. After changing several explanations, the other party finally successfully completed less than half of the first step - although he had grown legs, he could not crawl and could only stand up tremblingly, as if Weak children…
…
‘get out of class is almost over, why isn’t the professor back yet? ’
This class was very tiring for the unprepared Andrew - although there were more than a dozen more knowledge reserves that could lead to errors, the teaching effect could only be said to be far behind Professor McGonagall's teachings.
'I tried my best... at least I have legs... and I didn't make a complete mess that required confinement. Overall, it's not satisfactory. This is the limit of what I can do. ’
"Okay, that's it," Andrew walked up to the podium, "Let's study by ourselves again, and then go out when the bell rings."
This time no one jumped out, but everyone looked happy.
After Andrew left, cheers started.
"Wait a minute, is there something wrong? Didn't Taylor say self-study? But why do I feel like I learned a lesson?"
"Shut up, no matter what the nature of it is, confinement is real, just read in peace and wait until get out of class is over, this is self-study!"
