Chapter 397: Lecture Results!
The content of the lecture is assigned by the team of professors attending the lecture.
After thinking about it, Professor McGonagall decided to have Professor Binns speak about the "Goblin Rebellion".
The Goblin Rebellion is so famous in the history of magic that even a three-year-old child can say two sentences.
If you know the whole process, it's easy to tell an impassioned story.
Professor McGonagall thought so.
She was still a little biased, thinking that she had been working with Professor Binns for many years after all, and wanted to help Professor Binns. As long as he didn't speak badly, the other professors would turn a blind eye and let Professor Binns stay in school.
......
The next day.
June 27, 1995.
Professor McGonagall sent over 100 students to sit in Professor Binns's classroom, exactly as they would normally have been.
These students all have the best grades in the history of magic of any student, which leads to them being the ones who give Professor Binns the higher scores.
These students are all in grades 1 to 7.
The person who gave Professor Binns the highest score was Zhang Qiu, who entered the classroom with Harry and Hermione and sat in the first row.
Zhang Qiu glanced at the high and low students who were coming in, and said, "This should be the most special class, there are people in every grade." ”
"But I don't think Professor McGonagall's arrangement will make any difference. Hermione said, "In the end, the student's attentiveness and ability to absorb knowledge are only secondary, and the most important thing is to see how well Professor Binns speaks." ”
Before class, Professor McGonagall and the other professors walked to the back two rows of the room and sat down.
All the students in the classroom straightened their backs, their muscles tensed, and the gaze of a large group of professors behind them made them look like a daze.
"Is this called a lecture? It's so scary, I don't even dare to turn my head. A witch shivered.
Classes are in place.
Professor Binns peeked through the wall.
He looked a little different today than usual.
In the past, the eyes were half-closed and half-open, lifeless and weak.
Today I look at the eyes brighter.
His voice was much louder than before, and he said, "We're talking about the Goblin Rebellion today. ”
"The Goblin Rebellion is one of a series of rebellions by goblins in the wizarding world to oppose discrimination and prejudice against witches and witches. ”
"In 201 AD, the first goblin rebellion took place, due to the refusal of the elves to request fifty goblin representatives in the wizarding council, and the enraged elves declared war on the humans. But since the elves were far less magical than the wizards, the rebellion was quickly suppressed......"
Harry squeezed Zhang Qiu's little hand with his left hand and Hermione's small hand with his right hand, and said with a slight surprise: "Yes, Professor Binns has made such great progress." ”
Astoria sat on Zhang Qiu's left, looking enviously at the two little hands being played with by Harry, thinking that next time she must rush to sit next to Harry.
Professor McGonagall at the end nodded in agreement, although it was a little different from what she imagined, but it was not so unbearable.
Then, two minutes later......
The old ghost began to uncontrollably return to his normal class form.
Boring, monotonous, rigid, dull...... Professor Binns made the most of his characteristics and began to get better.
Half an hour had passed, but Professor McGonagall felt like half a day had passed.
And already half of the students were drowsy, their heads slammed, and then they woke up suddenly, and they peeked behind them, and then shook their heads twice, and when they were a little sober, they sat up again and listened to Professor Binns, and after a while, they repeated the above steps.
Professor Binns, on the other hand, did not care about what was going on below, he did not organize the discipline of the class at all, but only read the book in an emotionless tone.
Professor McGonagall looked to the side to see what the other professors thought of Professor Binns.
Outcome......
"Professor Sinista, Professor Sprout!" Professor McGonagall whispered.
The two of them actually fell asleep in their chairs.
"Ahh ”
Professor Sprout said, "You know, Minerva, I've been transplanting a coma lotus lately, and the slightest smell of it makes me fall asleep, and I'm sure I've accidentally smelled it. ”
Professor McGonagall: "......"
"Listen well, and we'll talk about Professor Binns's stay later. Professor McGonagall said solemnly.
"Okay. The two nodded earnestly.
An hour and a half later.
Jingle Bell ......
The bell rang for the end of class.
"Is it over?" Professor McGonagall opened her eyes, she pushed her lace-up glasses, and the world began to focus.
Then she realized that she didn't know when, and actually fell asleep!
Professor McGonagall blushed, but upon closer inspection, she noticed that no one noticed.
She coughed quickly and pretended to be listening attentively.
The other professors who were listening to the lecture also woke up one after another.
Professor McGonagall stood up and said, "Alright, class is over, students can leave." ”
The classroom dispersed.
"Ha~~" Someone yawned and said, "I'm sleepy, I had breakfast, but I didn't expect to take a magic history class, and I'm sleepy again, no, I'm going back to the dormitory to sleep for a while." I won't go to Hogsmeade, you can go by yourself. Oh, and help me bring back two glasses of cold butterbeer. ”
Professor Binns finished his lecture and walked through the stone wall.
There was only a group of professors left in the spacious classroom.
Professor McGonagall hesitated, "You ...... What did you think of this lesson?"
"Uh-huh......" A thunderous voice rang out.
Hagrid snorted, stretched, and said happily, "I slept so comfortably this night......
"Hagrid!" Professor McGonagall exasperated.
"Uh, what's wrong, Minerva. What are you discussing? Why are you all looking at me?" Hagrid's two dark eyes were blank under his thick eyebrows.
"Looks like you've forgotten what we're here for. Professor McGonagall said.
"Oh, come to my senses, Binns was talking about the war between wizards and goblins, and I was told that if goblins dared to be dishonest now, I could smash ten of them with a mace. Hagrid exclaimed.
Professor McGonagall ignored Hagrid, she looked around at all the professors, and asked, "Now give the results of the lecture to Professor Binns, and you can say what everyone thinks." ”
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and no one is silent.
Snape pulled out a clear crystal ball and said, "There is a ball of mantra here, and we will pour our own magic into it at the same time, and the will to expel him is indicated in black, and the will to leave him in white is indicated by white." ”
"It was convenient. Professor Sprout said.
"Then since there are no opinions, let's decide according to Severus's method. Professor McGonagall said.
Snape threw the ball in the air, and a dozen professors pointed their wands at the crystal ball together.
A dozen rays of light hit the crystal ball, waiting for the light to dissipate.
All the professors were stunned.
I saw that the transparent crystal ball that was dripping in the air turned into a black ball that could drip ink, and there was no light at all.
After a moment of silence, the teachers unanimously said, "I thought you would approve of him staying." ”
Professor McGonagall's face returned to seriousness, and she said, "Now that the results are in, let's do it." Who's going to inform Professor Binns?"
No one spoke again.
Hogwarts has been established for so long, and Professor Binns is the first faculty member to be officially expelled, and no one else wants to be this villain.
Professor Binns has become a ghost, and it is unbearable to tell him such cruel things.
Professor McGonagall stared at each of them, and finally locked onto Snape's face, who had been "taunting", and said, "Severus, I'll leave the matter to you." ”
Snape: "???"
Why am I? Am I so much like a wicked person who is fit to do bad things?
"Ah, that's good. Hagrid said with a smile and patted Snape on the shoulder.
"Severus was a good fit. Professor Flitwick agreed, and he tried to pat Snape on the shoulder, but unfortunately he couldn't, so he had to pat Snape on the knee.
Professor McGonagall's face softened, and she said, "You have to make it clear to Professor Binns that we are only dismissing Professor Binns from his position, not driving him away, and he can still stay at Hogwarts Castle." ”
"If it's okay, we can disperse, and I'll contact the Daily Prophet to run an ad for a professor of the history of magic. Professor McGonagall said.
"Severus, why aren't you leaving? Do you want to take on the history of magic in addition to being interested in Defence Against the Dark Arts?"
Snape walked away angrily: "This kind of class that doesn't use the slightest magical talent, who likes to teach whoever likes to teach!"
