Chapter 206: Large-scale Event
Hogwarts has rarely changed much since its founding, whether it is the structure of the school, the education system, or the daily activities.
Usually, young Hogwarts students who are part of the Quidditch team are able to enjoy being outside. Except for the occasional visit to the courtyard or the lawn outside the owl tower to enjoy the sun, ordinary students stuff themselves in the heavy stone tower.
Of course, there were also some students, especially Hufflepuff students, who would go to Professor Sprout's greenhouse, where they would be responsible for nurturing and maintaining the strange plants.
However, I believe that most students do not think that this is a very pleasant activity, as it is known that neither the fertile soil that provides enough nutrients for the plants, nor the strange nutrient solution, nor the taste of the plants themselves is not very pleasant.
Especially if you look at Professor Sprout, most of the time it's covered in mud and stains, patched overalls.
There are also dangerous plants that can even endanger the lives of individuals, such as mandrakes that can make people unconscious, and devil's nets that ambush and strangle those who come close.
But that may be about to change now.
"Minerva, take a look at this. ”
The creaking sound of a spiral staircase disguised as a sculpture at the entrance to the Headmaster's room woke Dumbledore from his concentration. He held a parchment letter in his hand, a glint of interest under the semicircular lenses.
"Proposal for Magical Practical Activities"
The proposal was signed by the current Hogwarts School Council President, Penelope Shimizu, and of course, a signed Western signature on the back indicated reconsideration.
How so......
The proposal is simple, easy to think of, and easy to operate, but it's not for nothing that Hogwarts hasn't tried it for a thousand years.
As a topic is certainly a very long text, the main content of the V1.0.0 version is as follows
1. "Propose a series of activities for students to practice magic in Hogwarts and Hogsmeade's villages and shops. 」
2. Activities are grouped and classified according to actual application scenarios, including but not limited to: academic, life, business, manufacturing, communication and other directions
3. Students are free to choose the activities they want to participate in, but only in the first week after the start of the activity, and cannot change the activity from the end of the first week to the end of the semester
4. Students are free to divide into groups and then choose one of the topics in the activity as a topic for in-depth research
5. Topics include but are not limited to spells, metamorphosis, pharmacy, herbology, biology, curse cracking, fixed circles, historical processes, etc., and further consultation can be made before selecting a topic
6. Any occurring and potentially hazardous activities, as well as violations of existing regulations and regulations, will be subject to penalties
7. The method of reward will be discussed by the Hogwarts Student Council
8. The final evaluation method is divided into feedback information from the relevant person in charge of Hogsmeade, comments from professors, and summary papers
9. During the period, you can choose not limited to professors, staff, senior unintentional direct participants, and external professionals as guidance
10. Students below the third grade (exclusive) are not accepted to participate in this activity for the time being.
11. The Hogwarts Student Council will take the necessary measures to ensure the safety and security of Hogsmeade and students, and anyone who intentionally or unintentionally causes harm to the lives and property of others will be punished.
And so on and so forth......
If Lockhart were still here, he would have been very supportive of this kind of activity and would happily mentor the students. Albus, you don't really want to push this forward, do you?" Professor McGonagall looked at the long parchment in her hand, she shook her head and looked up at Professor Dumbledore.
"This is no ordinary time, whether it's the rumors of Sirius Black near Hogsmeade, or the wandering Dementors that pose a great threat to students. ”
Putting down the parchment in her hand, although I have to say that Penelope Shimizu, this very good academic student in recent years, has considered all kinds of situations very carefully, and this is already the most detailed proposal she has ever seen.
However, the child has not participated in the graduation counseling for new graduates so far, so it is unclear what plans she has for the future.
Unfortunately, as the school's vice principal, in her mind, activities, learning, enhancing students' skills, and enhancing their integration of learning and practice are not as important as the safety of students.
Dumbledore squinted his eyes in what seemed to be a smiling expression, but he was clearly still thinking about something.
"Minerva, we can't lock the students in Hogwarts for the rest of their lives, which is why I asked Lupin to come back this year to teach the students Defence Against the Dark Arts class, they've wasted two years of their time. Dumbledore's tall frame, reclining against the table, seemed to have an extra majesty.
"Remus is really good, but both he and what he shows in class is manageable. ”
Once again, Professor McGonagall remembered the vote during the holidays, as it was difficult to find a reliable teacher due to the departure of Lockhart, the professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts, and the unpopularity of the course.
Even so, Remus Lupin's appointment sparked a great deal of protest among the university's board of trustees and professors. It can be said that in the end, it was Dumbledore's personal prestige that this decision was forcibly implemented.
She still remembered Snape's look of utter disappointment and disgust, and though she knew something about their past, she didn't think that the hatred of the past alone would make the man who had changed so much excitement.
"Is it controllable? You know, werewolf potions, even in the Apothecary Guild, are not a 100% sure thing. Dumbledore shook his head, "Sometimes it's funny, this most crucial potion can only be concocted by those who oppose him the most. ”
Glaring at Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall still had some agreement with Snape's work ethic, and she wouldn't think that Snape would take the opportunity to poison Lupin, or even that this idea was an insult to Snape.
"You can't always insist on a resolution on your own, Albus, human prestige and power are limited. ”
"But what's the use of those things?" Dumbledore looked at Fawkes, who was staring at him with blazing eyes, and the crisp chirping of the phoenix echoed through the room, "The Hogwarts Student Council already has the power to decide student activities, and this is the biggest proposal submitted by the Student Council in recent decades, can it be that they are all rejected because of some minor difficulties?"
Professor McGonagall stared at the parchment on the table, weighing it for a long time, as if she had given up, and she sighed, "Special times, Albus, at least, ask for the opinions of all the teachers." ”
