Chapter 34: Daily Prophet = Naval Army (Part II)
"My dear, today's Prophet Bulletin has arrived, and I have it on the table!"
"Okay, I'll go get it!"
Mr. William, who was slightly blessed, was a loyal fan of the Daily Prophet, after all, a habit that had been passed down from his grandfather's days. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Mr. William never gave up the habit of reading the newspaper after starting a family on his own, and at the end of breakfast, he always used to read the newspaper while sipping a mellow coffee, and then shared his reading experience with his wife in a pleasant tone.
He used to read the newspaper to William every day, but since William went to Hogwarts this year, he hasn't been able to enjoy it most of the time.
"Oh, William, is he okay at Hogwarts? You don't just want to have fun and waste your studies, right? Haha, how is it possible, there are many masters in Hogwarts, I was tired enough when I was studying! “
Mr. William smiled happily as he slowly poured the pure white milk into the coffee, which was covered with interesting foam, and when a sugar cube was skillfully added, Mr. William's favorite flavor was adjusted.
Only then did he turn his head and look at the front page of the Daily Prophet.
"Study diligently! Hogwarts needs to be reformed! ”
The large font pierced the eye, and Mr. William knocked over the coffee without realizing it.
"Oh, Merlin is above, my God! What happened to Hogwarts?! ”
Ignoring the coffee that was flowing along the table, Mr. William held the newspaper in his hand and looked down word by word.
"Crisis! Our next generation is facing a crisis! ”
"Rita Skeeter, a special correspondent for the Daily Prophet, hereby solemnly reminds parents that our next generation is facing a huge crisis!"
"From ancient times to the present, the wizarding world has been in frequent turmoil, sometimes it is the evil dark wizards, sometimes it is the attack of secular forces, and sometimes it is the imbalance of the internal economic system of the wizarding world, but despite the difficulties, the wizards still rely on their wisdom and perseverance to get out of the predicament."
"I remember when I was a child, when the unprecedented economic crisis enveloped the wizarding world, Hogwarts couldn't even afford to pay the grants to poor students, and many of my peers' Hogwarts dreams were shattered."
"However, it was at such times that my parents insisted that I should go to Hogwarts, and I remember my father telling me that wizards who did not attend Hogwarts could not be called wizards at all, let alone be good wizards. I remember that my family was in a difficult situation, which is why I decided to devote all my time to learning, and I had the same attitude as my contemporaries who entered Hogwarts. Because we know that the price paid is too expensive, and if we can't learn a skill, the hard work of our parents will be in vain. ”
"Although it was a difficult time, it turned out that it was hardship that sharpened talent. By all accounts, the achievements of Hogwarts graduates during that period were quite high. ”
"And we don't need to mention the period of the man who has just passed, to be able to attend classes in peace and spend a day in the library in peace, that is the dream of many Hogwarts students!"
We are now in a time of peace that is very rare, but a more serious problem than the difficult times has emerged. That is, our descendants are not stressed, they have no intention of learning, and Hogwarts is not what it used to be! ”
"Oh my God!" Mr. William groaned, the tone of the newspaper made him a little flustered, and he thought of his child who had just entered Hogwarts, "Isn't the atmosphere at Hogwarts before?" Are the students of Hogwarts not interested in studying?! ”
He continued to look down, and the contrasting photos frustrated him.
"Guys, this is Hogwarts ten years ago, and on a day off afternoon, the first year of Hufflepuff was practicing potions in the Potions classroom."
"This is a photo we took a year ago, and on our days off, the classrooms were empty."
"This is the Hogwarts library ten years ago, and it's hard to find even a single empty seat, and reservations for every master's classic book are waiting for a month later."
"This is a photo we took a year ago, there are many empty seats in the library, few students, and some books have not even been borrowed for half a year to a year!"
"This is the lawn of Hogwarts ten years ago, where a group of students bask in the sun and read a book."
"This is a picture from a year ago, and almost all the students are playing like crazy."
"Ladies and gentlemen, before I set foot at Hogwarts again, I couldn't believe that Hogwarts, which had such a good academic style, would relax like this when the pressure was lost! Merlin is on top, is this the school life we are looking forward to for the children? Could this be the educational model that produces great young wizards? “
Mr. William shook his head heavily: "No, of course not! Even people with poor grades like me were studying hard back then, and only occasionally went out to play, and the hard-working classmates were soaked in the library all day long, are the children so lax now? Didn't Hogwarts do anything?! “
He continued to look down.
"Fortunately, however, the newly arrived Deputy Headmaster of Hogwarts and Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts Ming Yuan is equally distressed by this phenomenon."
"This visitor from the Far East, a member of Archmage Merlin's clan, a knowledgeable master alchemist, was extremely dissatisfied with the style of Hogwarts, and he decided to start with his Defense Against the Dark Arts class to carry out a radical educational reform of Hogwarts, reviving the fine tradition of hard study at Hogwarts!"
"Look! This is the scene I captured when the reform was implemented, and at breakfast, everyone was trying to read a book! All the classrooms are full, and the library is once again full! ”
"Well done!" Mr. William couldn't help but cry out, "That's how it should be!" ”
"There are many difficulties, but the biggest one is the opposition from the children. Merlin is on top, they are still playful age, they are still innocent children who have never suffered anything, how do they know what difficulties they will encounter in the future? How do they know what kind of impact their lives have in the future? But we know that those of us as parents know that if we don't work hard, we will only suffer in the future! Can we watch our children behave willfully?! “
"Professor Mingyuan told me that he needed support, support from society, especially from parents. Is it time to make a choice, do you let your children play with their youth on the lawn, or let them sit in the library and absorb the wisdom of the masters? ”
The specific measures of Professor Mingyuan's reform are shown on the next page. In addition, the Daily Prophet will launch a poll in the coming month to gauge society's views on the education reform. ”
"Pen! Where's the pen?! After reading the whole newspaper, Mr. William was very excited, "Quick, quick, pen and paper!" I want to write a letter, a letter to William Jr., a letter to the Daily Prophet, absolutely supporting Professor Mingyuan's reforms! ”
By this time, there were already large flocks of owls spreading their wings.
