Chapter 529 Quality of Teaching

"Hello, Professor McGonagall!" After learning that Professor McGonagall returned to Hogwarts from St. Mungo's, Darren went to visit her with Penelope, because of the battle with Voldemort, Hogwarts' teaching activities had a great impact, and several professors were also injured, so the school is now on suspension, and after Voldemort was eliminated, Snape apparently lost interest in continuing to be the headmaster, and handed over the job to Professor McGonagall.

"Merlin, it's Darren!" Professor McGonagall said excitedly, apparently knowing that what had happened that day, especially that it would not be easy to survive the burnt-down Slytherin common room, "Thank you so much for what you did that night, otherwise, I probably wouldn't have had a chance to see you again!"

"It's nice to see you get back to health," Darren said with a smile after taking a seat in Professor McGonagall's office, "I'm here to talk to you about Hogwarts today." ”

"Huh?" Professor McGonagall looked at Darren, "what do you think?"

"Questions about what Hogwarts is taught and what it is about. ”

Hearing Darren's words, Professor McGonagall's brow furrowed, "What do you mean by Hogwarts teaching and administration?"

Knowing that Professor McGonagall would react in this way, Darren patiently said, "It's mainly about the quality of teaching and the management of student records. ”

"What happened to the quality of teaching at Hogwarts?"

Darren tilted his head and sighed, "I'm afraid, there is a big problem with the quality of teaching at Hogwarts. ”

"How can you say that, every professor here does his best to teach his students!" Professor McGonagall said solemnly to Darren.

"I didn't say the professors weren't detrimental, but," Professor McGonagall's expression knew he was serious, and Darren said immediately, "I remember that no Hogwarts student had been able to become an Auror for several years. ”

"Yes, I know about it, but the bar for being an Auror is very high, even if it's a good wizard, it's not necessarily suitable, and it depends on whether the Ministry of Magic needs manpower," Professor McGonagall said with a frown.

Darren looked at Professor McGonagall, "So, what about this?" he took a hat from his pocket and handed it over.

"What is this?" Professor McGonagall took her hat in confusion, "is it, a spell, a rebound spell, a rebound spell?" she asked.

Sure enough, it was an old professor, and he figured out the details of the hat so quickly, Darren nodded, "Yes, wearing this kind of hat, if someone casts a curse on you, stare at the other person's face, and the curse will bounce out." ”

"Oh?" Professor McGonagall looked down at his hat again as she listened to Darren's words, "but," she said suspiciously, "it doesn't seem to be very effective from the magic on it?"

"Yes, the Spell Hat, it's sold by Weasley's Magic Tricks, it's Fred and George......"

"I know the Weasleys," Professor McGonagall said, "very clever little prop, why are you showing me this?"

"That's right......" Darren nodded, "Props, the Weasley brothers thought it was just a funny thing, used to joke with people, but they got a big order, five hundred. ”

"Five hundred?" "Even Professor McGonagall, who understands that no one would buy so much for a joke, "Who bought it?"

"Ministry of Magic. ”

"The Ministry of Magic?" Professor McGonagall said curiously, "What is the Ministry of Magic buying so much for? Merlin......!

"Yes," Darren nodded, "and before Voldemort came to power, those who worked in the Ministry of Magic couldn't even pronounce a decent Iron Armor Charm, so the Ministry of Magic, which faced the threat of Voldemort and the Death Eaters, bought this kind of hat that could reflect the curse as a 'protective equipment'." ”

"But, ......but," Professor McGonagall was so surprised that she didn't know what to say, "this hat doesn't have any effect on powerful spells!"

"Yes, but they don't have a choice," said Darren, "and the Weasley brothers expanded the Spell Cap into a series of products, including Spell Cloaks and Gloves, all of which were sold to the Ministry of Magic. ”

“……”

"Those Ministry of Magic staff are all Hogwarts graduates, relying on this kind of thing to fend off the Death Eaters," Darren shook his head.

Professor McGonagall looked at the "curse hat" in her hand, full of contradictions, "Actually, it's actually ......" Darren and Penelope didn't speak, and the office fell silent.

After a long time, Professor McGonagall said, "What are you going to do?"

Hearing Professor McGonagall's inquiry, Darren said cautiously, "First of all, Hogwarts needs to add more personnel, and the professors are too heavy to teach. ”

Seeing that Professor McGonagall did not object, Darren continued, " There is only one professor for each subject, and he is responsible for all seven grades, although the number of people in each class is not large, but because the content of the lectures is different, they need to be prepared separately, only one class per year for each grade, a professor has to take 14 classes a week, because every two houses in class, plus grading students' homework, it takes a lot of energy, I believe that the professors are very serious and responsible, however, they have too many things. ”

Professor McGonagall nodded as she listened to Darren's story, after all, "But, increase the staff," Professor McGonagall hesitated, "I'm afraid it will be necessary for the school board to discuss it." ”

"You don't have to worry about that," Darren waved his hand, reassuring Professor McGonagall.

"?!" Professor McGonagall looked at Darren, "Why?"

"Because just like Malfoy, many people on the Hogwarts Board of Trustees are involved with Voldemort and the Death Eaters, so in order to avoid affecting the normal operation of the school, the Ministry of Magic, of course, now, decided to take Hogwarts back and put it directly under the management of the Ministry of Magic. "With the Death Eaters, the Ministry of Magic now has plenty of money to meet this expense, and it has no problem at all.

"So, the Ministry of Magic has made its final decision?" Professor McGonagall asked.

"After listening to what I have said, will you object to some appropriate changes to the school? I believe not, because you are a professor who is serious and responsible for your students, as are several heads of the Ministry of Magic, and they all believe that you will agree. Darren replied that after all, the matter was there, and the quality of teaching at Hogwarts was indeed too different, not only to produce high-achieving students like Darren, Hermione, Penelope, and Weasley twins, but also a large number of waste wood, all of whom could graduate from Hogwarts.
