Chapter 184: The Great Hogwarts Reformation (2-in-1)
Canaan took Hermione to the freshman's carriage and found that the freshman had surrounded the place.
Prefect Percy is trying to maintain order.
"I have to make this guy look good, don't stop me. Malfoy's shouting could be heard inside.
Canaan made his way through the crowd and saw Harry pulling Malfoy and Azik sitting in his private seat with a defiant look in his eyes.
"What's going on?"
"Malfoy and Azik fought, and it should have been Aziz's hand first. Percy said.
Canaan nodded and came to Azik.
This new student from India is Azik's child, and now it seems that he is no different from his father, who likes to beat people.
"You did it first?"
Looking at Canaan's stern gaze, Azik slowly lowered his head: "Uncle Brian, it's me who made the first move, but this golden retriever is the first to insult me and kick me out of the private room." β
Listening to Azik's name, Canaan smiled helplessly, this must have been what his father made him call it.
Canaan nodded, then walked over to Malfoy, "Do you have anything to say?"
Seeing Canaan's serious face, Malfoy also lost his arrogance, he knew how powerful the person in front of him was, and his father told him many times before leaving, not to offend this person.
"I... I just don't like the smell on him. He was resigned.
"Then you apologize to each other, and you won't allow such a thing to happen again next time. β
Malfoy nodded, reluctantly approached Azik, bowed his head and apologized.
"I'm so sorry, it's my fault. β
"I shouldn't have hit you first. β
Canaan nodded and said to all the new students: "This year is a special year for Hogwarts, and it is also the class with the largest number of new students entering the school, there are two hundred new students, you come from all over the world, and you should know that your admission letter is not easy to come by, and most of them are applied by your parents on their own initiative." β
As he spoke, Canaan turned to Malfoy again: "Hogwarts is not just an English school, it belongs to each and every one of you, and you will be here to witness the best and most memorable seven years of your life. So I hope you will get rid of your pre-school narrow-mindedness and get along with your classmates. β
"Alright, let's go back to our private rooms, we need half a day to get to Hogwarts, and you need to be in good spirits before then. β
After the freshmen were dismissed, Canaan left Percy, "You swapped Malfoy's place?"
According to his previous arrangement, Harry should have shared a private room with Malfoy, and now it seems that the seat has been changed by the prefect Percy.
"Chairman, my brother is very fond of Potter, soβ" Percy said heavily.
Canaan sighed, in the original movie, Percy, the third son of the Weasley family, was very fond of power and did not follow the rules.
However, Mrs. Weasley was a big fan of his, and the donation of gold gallons helped him greatly when he was just starting out in the wizarding world.
Canaan thought about it and decided to let Percy go, "For your mother's sake, next time you won't allow this to happen again." β
"My mother's face?" Percy was a little confused, but couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Canaan didn't pursue his question this time.
If he really loses his prefect position because of this incident, he probably wants to die.
Seeing that Harry in the private room seemed to be having a good time with Ron, Canaan shook his head slightly.
He had wanted Malfoy and Harry to be in the same room to see if something completely different from the original could happen, so he called Hermione away.
Now it seems that the plot is back to square one, Harry and Ron have become good friends again, and if Hermione still goes to Harry often, it is estimated that the trio from the original book will appear again.
Thinking of this, Canaan decided to break up the future trio, after all, Hermione was his girlfriend, and he couldn't get too close to the other boys.
And he is also prying the corner of the future Ron, and he must take precautions.
The train rumbled along, and soon, night was falling.
With a screech of brakes, the train stopped at the Hogsmeade platform.
Students rushed off the train.
"All the first-year students, leave your luggage on the train, someone will transport it for you. β
Hagrid's loud voice rang out outside the train, and it seemed that he was still serving as a leader.
Canaan gave Hermione a few words of advice, and then used Apparition to go straight back to the castle.
Arriving at the Headmaster's office, Dumbledore was wearing a purple gown and sorting out his makeup in front of the mirror.
"Did the journey go well?" Dumbledore looked back and smiled.
"It's going well, is it arranged in the Black Lake?" Canaan sat down on the couch.
"Guvett, they're guarding in mirror space, and nothing will happen. β
Now Poseidon's existence is like a time bomb, and he has been hiding in the Black Lake, not knowing what to do.
And this batch of new students is related to the prosperity of the magical world in the future, and there can be no problems.
Seeing that Canaan didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, Dumbledore couldn't help but ask, "What else do you have to do?"
Canaan got up and walked slowly over to the dusty Sorting Hat, "I have something to talk to about it." β
......
On the other side, Hagrid came to the Black Lake with more than two hundred freshmen, and he sent off the newborn magic robes prepared by the Alchemy Foundation in advance.
Not only does this magic robe defend against most spells, but it also has the ability to fly at high speed for short periods of time, and its life-saving performance is top-notch.
Riding on the Alchemy Foundation's renovated wooden boats, the freshmen sailed to Hogwarts in droves.
The moonlight shone on the calm surface of the lake, and the lake rippled slightly, and it seemed to the eyes of the new students that everything was so good, and the life they were looking forward to at Hogwarts was about to begin.
Professor McGonagall led the freshmen to the lobby of the castle, where they began the sorting ceremony as the crowd watched.
A few senior gentlemen were talking below.
"There are so many new students this year, there are probably more than 200 of them, and the auditorium is almost full. β
"I've heard that a lot of new students who would have gone on to other schools of witchcraft and wizardry have come to Hogwarts, and Hogwarts' influence is growing. β
"I've also heard that our dormitory building has also been renovated, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate so many new students. β
......
With the applause and cheers of everyone, the new students were assigned to different colleges.
Professor McGonagall looked at the parchment and slowly read out the next name: "Harry Potter!"
Under the gaze of the crowd, Harry walked to the front of the stage and put on the Sorting Hat.
After some arguments with the Sorting Hat, Harry was unsurprisingly assigned to Gryffindor.
This caused the Gryffindor students to scream.
The sorting continued, with Malfoy being sorted into Slytherin and Azik and Ron being sorted into Gryffindor.
"Next, Hermione Granger!"
Hearing Professor McGonagall read her name, Hermione looked at Canaan in the Ravenclaw seat, smiled, and trotted onto the stage, happily putting on her Sorting Hat.
The Sorting Hat crooked his mouth and muttered, "Oh, another clever kid, but it's really hard for me." β
"I'm going to Ravenclaw! I'm going to Ravenclaw!" Hermione kept silently thinking to herself.
"Maybe you might want to consider Gryffindor, it's a perfect fit for you. β
"No, I'm going to Ravenclaw!" Hermione insisted.
The Sorting Hat frowned, remembering someone's previous admonition, and it had to exclaim, "Ravenclaw!"
Hearing this, Dumbledore on the podium smiled helplessly, he had originally wanted the Sorting Hat to assign Hermione to Gryffindor, and it seemed that this plan had failed.
As the sorting ceremony ended, under Dumbledore's orders, a variety of delicacies appeared on the seats of the four colleges, and Canaan noticed that there was an extra pot of hot pot in front of Dumbledore, and it seemed to be eating mutton shabu.
This old guy actually opened a small stove for himself.
Dinner at Hogwarts was hearty, and the new students had a great time.
But Canaan, sandwiched between Hermione and Alita, was a little unnatural.
Because the two girls didn't say a word to him the whole time, they were eating quietly all the time.
Well, so, this is a cold war with him?
To be honest, this is the second time the two girls have met, the first time they met was in a fantasy card fighting match, and the two fought hard in the ring.
Now that the two were in the same college, Canaan could already foresee his future unfortunate life.
After the main meal, desserts and fruits appeared on the table.
Canaan silently brought a fruit pudding to Hermione and Alita.
"Eating some fruit after a meal is good for the body. He said casually, and then took another one for himself.
When the few little wizards on the other side saw this scene, they gave Canaan a thumbs up in their hearts.
"Ding!" Dumbledore's crisp sound of tapping the silver cup echoed throughout the Great Hall.
The students stopped chatting and waited for Dumbledore to speak.
"This must be the most special year at Hogwarts, I've never seen Hogwarts as vibrant, does anyone know when Hogwarts was founded?" Dumbledore asked, looking at the students in the room.
Hermione raised her little hand high.
"Miss Granger. Dumbledore gestured.
It is mentioned in the History of the Founding of Hogwarts that it was founded in 990 AD. Hermione stood up and quickly replied.
"That's right, Ravenclaw plus five points, and I think Ravenclaw has one more scorer. Dumbledore smiled and continued, "In the first year of Hogwarts, there were only four new students in that class, and the four founders each selected a student to teach, and they talked about their knowledge and ideas passed down, and then there were four houses. β
"This year marks the 1,000th anniversary of Hogwarts, so we need a dΓ©cor. As he spoke, Dumbledore took out his wand and tapped it over the Great Hall, the colorful flags representing the four major houses flying in the air, and the sky was full of twinkling fireworks and stars.
Led by Professor McGonagall, the professors and students applauded.
Dumbledore then asked, "Does anyone know how many reforms Hogwarts has undergone in the past thousand years?"
However, the question seemed to be a bit difficult, and the students in the audience looked at each other, none of them raised their hands, and even Hermione frowned, thinking about the answer to the question.
"Mr. Headmaster, three times in total. Alita slowly stood up, her loud voice echoing in everyone's ears.
"It's great, I don't think anyone can guess the answer, and there's no standard answer in the book, Ravenclaw plus 5 points. Dumbledore was the first to applaud.
"The first reform took place during the period of the Four Founders, Slytherin insisted that all students must be purebloods, which gradually attracted the dissatisfaction of the other three founders, and Hogwarts did not have four houses at the time, but because of this time the concept of the four houses was born. β
"The second reform came about three hundred years later, when the turbulent wizarding world gradually stabilized, Hogwarts was greatly expanded, the observatory and the astrological tower you see today were built in that year, and our teaching model was reformed in accordance with the other two European schools of witchcraft and wizardry of the time, and the famous Triwizard Tournament was held in that year. β
Dumbledore paused, took a sip of juice and continued, "The third reform was in the year of the establishment of the British Ministry of Magic, Hogwarts internal positions were adjusted, and the school board of directors also changed dramatically, and our current school rules and teaching curriculum are also left over from the third reform. β
Speaking of this, Dumbledore stood up and said aloud, "Having said all this, it's actually because Hogwarts is about to usher in the fourth reform, and... Maybe... This will be an unprecedented reform!"
There was applause in the auditorium again, and it seemed that the students were eagerly awaiting Dumbledore's upcoming reforms.
Dumbledore smiled slowly, "Of course, I didn't propose this reform, so I would like to ask Chairman Bryan to explain this school reform to us. β
With applause, Canaan, who was facing everyone's anxious gaze, slowly walked to the front of the stage.
"Before the new reform policy is enacted, I would like to ask everyone, what do you think is magic?"
"It's unknown!"
"Truth!"
"Strength!"
"The product of a combination of magic and spells..."
The students expressed their opinions.
Canaan nodded: "These are all great answers, but what I want to say is that magic is a kind of change, and you can change everything through magic, or you can not be changed by others." β
"The wizarding world is not quiet, and beneath the surface of the water are turbulent crises, such as Lord Voldemort and some wizard who has been resurrected from the ancients. β
Hearing Canaan's words, the students in the audience seemed to explode.
"Voldemort is still alive, will he come back?"
"Is that wizard Poseidon?"
Looking at the students in confusion, Canaan exclaimed, "Silence! I tell you this news in the hope that you will remember that magic is the only way to protect yourselves." β
It seemed that Canaan's words were very intimidating, and the students gradually quieted down, but there were still students whispering.
"Good. Canaan looked at his watch and continued, "Let's talk about the Hogwarts reforms. β
"First: in the future, all courses at Hogwarts will be divided into two categories, compulsory and elective, and there will only be two compulsory courses: Charms and Arcanes. β
Arcane lessons?
Ignoring the students' puzzled looks, Canaan continued, "There is no fixed professor in Charms class, every professor at Hogwarts will teach you the spells they are most proficient in, and of course you may also see Dumbledore teach you how to use space magic in this class. β
"As for the arcane lessons, I'll teach them, and you'll see a very different system of magic than wand casting. β
"Electives are divided into major and sub-categories, and each student must choose at least one major elective to study. There are three main classes: Potions, Alchemy, and Muggle Technology. β
"Muggle technology, hell, we still have to learn this thing!"
"Sounds really cool. β
......
"Be quiet, listen to me continue. And don't underestimate Muggle science lessons, sometimes technology can do more than magic. β
Seeing that the students were quiet, Canaan continued: "Sub-class electives: cane-making class, herb class, flying class, magical animal protection and research..."
At this time, a student stood up and asked, "Chairman, don't we have to force us to study the elective courses of the sub-class?"
Canaan nodded: "Great question, but please raise your hand next time you ask." He looked at everyone and explained: "All Hogwarts courses have exclusive credits, and in addition to passing the final exams in each grade, you must also meet the credits, and those who do not have enough credits will be repeated." β
"Of course, if you want to experience what it's like to repeat a grade, I'd love to hear you, and maybe you'll go down in the history of Hogwarts with the name: The First Wizard to Repeat!"
After joking, Canaan looked at his watch again and hurriedly said, "It's late, I don't want to delay your rest time, then we have to hurry." β
"The school will set up clubs, such as the fantasy card fighting club, the Quidditch club, the learning transformation club, the Defence Against the Dark Arts club... , after which your prefect will announce specific information about the Society. β
"All students from the third year onwards regularly participate in the fighting tournaments organized by the study, and the professors will take a field trip to see how well you have mastered magic. β
"Students from the fifth year onwards are required to participate in the Wizard Survival Practice, and we will carve out a space in the Dragon Valley where all kinds of dangerous creatures live, and your mission is to survive. β
