good morning guys."
William walked into the classroom quickly and looked around at the students. There were four new students in the classroom today, but there were fewer people who had attended the classroom the previous day. In this classroom alone, there were only children with the golden snitch logo on their faces. , including two of the four newcomers, there are seven in total.
'No Hogwarts students——'
He identified the victims one by one, and the smile on his face became a little wider.
The awareness of vigilance that has been emphasized over the years has obviously been well implemented among the students, which makes him very gratified.
As for those unlucky ones - that's the specialty of the Triwizard Tournament.
The entire competition will last for nearly a year. During such a long period of time, the students who come to register cannot easily fall behind in their courses. They can only follow the Hogwarts courses, plus their own review and the principal and a few Guidance from accompanying professors.
However, due to language problems, many students had to study English on their own at the beginning, before they could slowly keep up with the teaching progress at Hogwarts.
"There are some new classmates. Welcome everyone."
William said as he stepped onto the podium and put down the paper bag while the students applauded.
"I don't know how well everyone completed the homework for last class. I hope you finished it well instead of rushing to watch yesterday's game-otherwise, I'm afraid you will miss today's class."
"Take your homework and wand, then come to me and hand it in. Students who pass can go to participate in activities. Students who fail can stay in the classroom and complete their homework."
As soon as these words came out, the seventh grade students below began to get excited.
"Is this a practical class, Professor?"
"Of course, as long as you complete your homework properly."
William nodded, "Hand in your homework. I have been discussing with you for a long time before I got this good opportunity for you to intern."
Have you discussed it with them for a long time?
practice?
Thinking of the first game that just ended, everyone couldn't help but think of those dragons - apart from them, are there any courses in this castle that need to be discussed for a long time?
'Could it be that after the warriors have challenged the dragon, we can also form a team to challenge the dragon? '
With such thoughts emerging, even the seventh graders who have grown up in the magical world can't help themselves - that's a dragon!
The students from other schools who came to mix in the class didn't know why the students at Hogwarts were happy at first, but after they whispered enough and couldn't wait to pass on the homework, these children in the mix suddenly became aware of it. Then I became excited.
Is this course content that can be experienced without spending Galleons?
Those guys who haven't learned English well and those who believe more in the effectiveness of self-study are simply at a loss!
Those children with the golden snitch logo were even more happy - they said, the pattern is beautiful, there is no need to be shy about it and not go to class, it is not profitable!
Even Nancy herself was a little excited. After playing with the fire dragon yesterday, she still didn't feel like she had enough fun. The professor actually invited the dragon out again today!
"Come one by one, I have to check."
William took a look at each assignment and easily let them go if the number of words and length met the standard. Only two of them were found to be difficult to pass.
"Um…"
He tapped his fingers on his homework and looked at the two guys who were seriously substandard.
"Want to go?"
"think."
The two of them made embarrassed sounds.
"Then go ahead and make up an assignment for me afterwards and hand it in, and send it to the office the day after tomorrow - if you fail to hand it in, go directly to Mr. Filch to collect your three-day confinement."
"No problem Professor!"
The two answered excitedly.
'I hope you will still have enough energy later...'
William smiled and quickly turned to look at the students who were observing, "In my personal opinion, you can give up this class, because this class is very tiring and has certain dangers. Students who want to quit can do so. Stay in the classroom and read."
However, none of the children who came to listen were willing to give up - 'We are not stupid, so we will not be frightened by such a thing! '
"If you go, you can't quit easily. My class doesn't allow others to cause trouble at will."
William warned again, but no one listened.
'It's true,' William shook his head, 'forget about his own students. After all, I have many years of trust. These children will have to help count galleons if they are not sold...'
"Okay then, let's all set off and target the Forbidden Forest!"
William waved his hand, and all the students' faces suddenly showed such expressions.
——
"William!"
When William led the mighty seventh-grade army past Hagrid's hut, he shouted from a distance, and his giant volume made William's eardrums hurt from a distance.
"Good morning, Hagrid!"
William waved his arms and greeted warmly, "Where are Adams and the others?"
"It's over. Professor Sprout is very impatient today."
'Do we still need so many professors to maintain safety issues? '
The students suddenly became more excited, but many Hufflepuffs already felt that something was wrong.
But before they could remember anything exactly, William had already finished greeting Hagrid and led a group of students towards the Forbidden Forest.
"The environment inside the Forbidden Forest has always been maintained very well."
William used magic to amplify his voice so that it could float into the ears of every student.
"So, this is the safest collective practice venue we can find - but I must continue to repeat what I said in previous courses. The danger level of the Forbidden Forest is beyond your imagination, even the professors If you want to find something in the Forbidden Forest, you won't enter it alone."
"Therefore, you are strictly prohibited from entering the Forbidden Forest privately, even seventh graders. Even if three or four of you, or even seven or eight of you boldly enter together, you will still be easily defeated by the dangers inside."
"I reiterate once again that anyone who secretly enters the Forbidden Forest, once I know about it, no matter what the reason is, no matter how great your discovery is, I will directly recommend that the school be expelled, don't say you are about to graduate - even if you As a graduate, I will also advise the school to recover your diploma and then break your magic wand."
He emphasized his tone, "Are you clear?"
"Yes, Professor!"
William's tone of voice was completely different from his usual gentleness, which made the students become serious, and their original fantasies about the dragon were immediately diluted.
"As for students from outside schools, if any of you think about sneaking into the Forbidden Forest, then I will immediately notify your school and expel you from Hogwarts immediately, and then you will be recorded on the list of the Ministry of Magic. I will be banned from entering the British wizarding world for life, I promise, I will do it."
He turned to look at the students on the other side who were counting, and warned.
After completing all this, he started to explain while walking.
"Generally speaking, when we walk in this kind of forest, what we should be most careful about are the curved things - tree roots emerging from the ground and snakes that don't know where to hide."
"Both are equally dangerous. If you are not so proficient in healing magic, then a tree root hidden in the dark will make you lose most of your mobility - not to mention snakes."
"So, except for those wizards who are experienced enough to completely ignore the danger, a wooden stick long enough to be placed in the left hand is a must."
William stretched out his hand and tapped a fallen twig, transforming it into a wooden stick of suitable length, and demonstrated it to all the students.
"Just like this, it's best to use transfiguration - this means that after you are in danger and detransform, you can pull out your wand and prepare for battle in the shortest possible time."
"Be good at using cutting spells, but you have to control yourself not to use it all the time - it's not a good thing to expose your whereabouts. Cutting weeds is the easiest way to expose yourself."
"As for the idiots who plan to use magic to recover after passing, please go back and read through the notes we took in class last year, and then copy them down - who still remembers the first point we talked about about adventure?"
"Professor, you must always keep yourself in the best condition!"
"Correct answer," William turned to look at the student who was rushing to answer, "One point for Ravenclaw."
"That's right, stay in top condition. I've told you one after another before about how to stay vigilant during sleep and how to quickly identify whether food is toxic..."
Following William's narration, all the anxious students were no longer so anxious to see the fire dragon.
Compared with the fire dragon, these forest exploration rules that have been demonstrated one by one are more important. Even the warriors selected by Hogwarts have to form a team to face the fire dragon. They do not expect to be able to do it alone. Handle a fire dragon.
'Was your professor a former adventurer? '
While William was just walking around without discovering anything new, a student from Ilvermorny quickly asked more questions.
He was very curious to see William introduce the adventure so skillfully - he was one of the few people who started to observe from the first class. After all, there was no language barrier between the two schools.
After this period of course, he admired the professor in front of him very much and wanted to know more about him.
"Probably not."
The child who was asked was stunned. He really didn't know how to introduce his professor, "But the professor is first-rate in many aspects."
"Indeed, he knows a lot! And that trap - it's very, very interesting!"
"Which trap?"
"It's the one on the golden egg. Haven't you opened it yet? Dan and the others have all been hit, and here - it's like that over there."
He pointed at the golden snitch on the unfortunate guy's face next to him.
"We went to the professor, but he said that it was a powerful potion that could last for a week after being transformed by magic. It was very difficult to deal with, and according to the rules, the professor couldn't help us deal with it."
'It turns out that the professor really tampered with the golden egg, but the Ravenclaw students didn't trigger it? '
The Hufflepuff who was being asked thought with a smile, and almost couldn't hold back his laughter - but it didn't take long for him to realize that something was wrong...
'Wait - teach him? '
The painful memory of everyone failing when he first met his professors in fifth grade came to mind. Coupled with the names of the two Hufflepuff professors he had just heard, he suddenly thought of a terrifying possibility.
If he remembered correctly, the dean had long been preparing a small area of greenhouse land to grow a novel herb.
It is a precious herb that only grows in places where dragons often hang out. It is extremely difficult to cultivate - according to the previous dean's speculation, that herb probably requires fresh excrement of dragons to grow.
And now the dragon dung fertilizer purchased by Hogwarts cannot be cultivated at all - the professor speculates that the traditional way of processing dragon dung has caused it to be missing...
No way!
Once the speculation appeared in his mind, he couldn't stop it, and the more he thought about it, the more reasonable it became.
Moreover, the professor also has a bad habit of always tricking them into telling them things like survival rules after they have gained a deep memory.
'It's not a scam, right? '
He took a breath, and although it was already extremely cold, there was still cold sweat on his forehead.
"It doesn't matter, whatever is fresh is fresh - we have dealt with that stuff a lot anyway."
He comforted himself, "And this is a good opportunity for other colleges to learn more."
Other houses are not like Hufflepuff. In other houses, professors invite professors to teach a bunch of magic. Hufflepuff opens small stoves for top students and asks them to handle the rarest plants - dragon dung is naturally indispensable. .
After thinking about it, he suddenly felt much more peaceful, and even felt a little proud - if everyone was unlucky together, it wouldn't be called unlucky!
He was even a little happy to hear it. Well, this lesson must be an impressive one.
…
"Well, that's all for today's adventure!"
"Everyone's real lesson today is about to begin!"
William amplified his voice, "See fear, face fear, understand fear!"
He looked at the students with a smile, "I think many people have guessed the answer. Yes, it is the fire dragon!"
'That's it, raise their spirits, then! ! ! '
"Of course, don't think about crazy things like challenging the fire dragon. That won't work - we are here to teach, not to give him extra food. I don't think I can face the fire dragon alone, so I won't do it at all. I've prepared such an outrageous lesson for you."
"So, next I will divide you into groups. You are responsible for watching the fire dragon up close with defense, and then use a towel and a long-handled brush to clean the scales."
William tried his best to make the job of helping to clean up the fire dragons sound more pleasant - after all, these big guys had just fought a wave, and it was really unreasonable to let the students visit alone, so helping to clean up the job was barely justified.
After facing the fire dragon and cleaning them up, these students will understand the difference between this thing and themselves, and will no longer think about fighting the fire dragon alone.
I'm just a little tired. After all, I have to do real work, and the difference between fighting a dragon and bathing a dragon is really... a bit big.
But giving a dragon a bath is also considered facing your fears, right?
'Just cleaning up? '
"Oh, by the way, Hufflepuff students, gather together. Your dean and I talked before class. There are some things I need your help with."
William thought of something and added.
ps: I wrote about Loneliness during the day. I will recode it for a while today, but I still don't believe it... Of course, it's gone today. I have to make this clear...
