Chapter 253: "Professor Zhang's Quotations"
The doors of the Eagle House common room never turn away students from other houses, provided they can answer the questions posed by the gates.
So when the Harry trio appeared in the Eagle Courtyard lounge, Zhang Xu was not surprised.
With Hermione here, answering the question of the gate was not a big deal, after all, she, like Professor McGonagall, had almost been sent to Eagle House by the Sorting Hat.
And with the intellectual wit that the three of them showed in the office just now, Zhang Xu also recognized their wisdom.
In the common room, Harry and Anthony were playing a magical version of table tennis, Ron was playing wizarding chess with three Eagle Academy students at the same time, and Hermione was reading a book from a shelf.
Zhang Xu said hello to the three of them and asked them to come back to him after playing, and then he found a table where no one was around and sat down, and after a while, Zhang Qiu also came over and sat down.
"The three of them came looking for you and waited for a while." Zhang Qiu said.
"They have so much fun watching TV, they won't mind waiting a little longer." Zhang Xu said.
"I'm afraid you'll call tonight before you come back." Zhang Qiu said.
"It's still early," Zhang Xu looked at the multi-function watch in his hand, "It's only ten o'clock, and I haven't gotten up yet." β
At this time, Harry and Ron finished the game and came to Zhang Xu's table.
Finding that Hermione was still reading there, Ron went over and pulled the reluctant Hermione over.
"If you want to see it, come by when you have time, we welcome knowledgeable people to visit." Zhang Xu said to Hermione.
"I think you should have been assigned to our academy in the first place." Zhang Qiu also said to Hermione.
"Actually, the Sorting Hat was agonizing over whether I should go to Gryffindor or Ravenclaw." Hermione said, "In the end, he sorted me into Gryffindor. β
"There are quite a few precedents for this." "As far as I know, the Sorting Hat had struggled over whether to go to Ravenclaw or Gryffindor when they assigned Professors McGonagall and Flitwick to houses. β
"The Sorting Hat had thought for a few minutes before making a decision. Our two colleges almost swapped deans. β
After finishing the professors' gossip, Harry and the others got down to business.
"Percy called me to his office just now and told me a lot of things." "He said he's glad I'm on his path. β
"He also told me to cut ties with Harry and Professor Dumbledore."
"That's in line with Percy's current position." Zhang Xu said.
"That's not the most important thing." "Percy said that Hogwarts was about to start a professorship review, and that professors who didn't pass the review would be expelled. β
After Ron finished speaking, the trio looked at Zhang Xu with worried eyes at the same time, as if Zhang Xu had been expelled.
Zhang Xu has a black line, and the meaning of these people seems to be that they will definitely be fired.
"I already know about this, Percy has sent all the relevant documents to the professors early in the morning." Zhang Xu said, "I also discussed this issue with other professors just now. β
Zhang Xu put all the documents just now on the table, these are all things that are ready to be made public, and there is nothing to keep secret.
The Harry trio and Zhang Qiu, who was sitting next to them, picked up the documents and read them.
Harry S. Ο Potter: "Ah, I thought you were ......"
Before Harry could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Zhang Xu.
Zhang (#βΌDishβΌ) Xu: "What do you think I'm doing?" β
Harry S. (((Β΄ο½; Potter: "I thought you were in the kitchen preparing a late-night snack." β
At this time, a soft "hehe" sound came from Zhang Xu's side.
"I was discussing this with the other professors, and Professor Dumbledore came too." Zhang Xu said, "Percy played really beautifully. β
"I think you taught Percy this method, right?" Hermione said, holding a file.
Then Hermione pulled a hardcover notebook full of labels out of her pocket and flipped to the front.
Hermione looked at the notebooks while looking at the papers, and said, "At this time, in the second year, you and Percy had a chat about Lockhart's teaching skills, and then you and Percy brought up the matter of teaching credentials. β
"Then you went on to talk in detail about the necessity and method of the professorial qualification review."
"Both of Percy's documents basically use what you said at the time, with only a few modifications."
With that, Hermione flipped through a few pages of her notebook and continued.
"When I was in my third year, when you were discussing Professor Lupin with me, you told me that Hogwarts should establish a fair, impartial, and objective system for evaluating professors' performance with clear rules and open rules."
"You also told me that if you put both Lockhart and Professor Lupin into this system for evaluation, it will be clear which is better and which is worse."
"Moreover, the salaries and benefits of professors should be linked to the evaluation results, so that good professors earn more and bad professors earn less."
"When you corresponded with Percy last year, you mentioned that when hiring professors, applicants should be evaluated and scored according to uniform standards in advance, and only those who pass the score can become professors at Hogwarts."
Zhang Β· (Β°oΒ°) Asahi watched as Hermione held the notebook in disbelief, reading out the words he had said to her and Percy about the management of the Hogwarts professor one by one, and then comparing them with the documents Percy had sent.
Zhang Β· (γΌγΌ; Asahi suddenly thought of a question and asked, "How did you write down everything I said before?" And how did you know what I was chatting with Percy and writing to? β
"I think what you say sometimes makes a lot of sense, so I'll make a note of it." Hermione said, "Percy too, we used to talk to each other a lot. β
This time Zhang Xu was embarrassed, sorting out personal quotations or something, it was not something that a little shrimp like him could do.
What Lu Xun said can be used as a stalk while learning his spirit.
Taizu's quotations contain his profound knowledge.
But what can "Professor Zhang's Quotations" do besides being used to pad tables and chairs.
Zhang Β· (-_-;;; Asahi could only tell Hermione not to show this to others, and not to mention it to others.
Wiping the cold sweat on his head, Zhang Xu said: "These are the problems that the professors are worried about, and I believe that all the professors will treat and deal with this matter reasonably." β
"What you should be worried about is Hagrid, and with Percy's way of assessing, I think Hagrid will have a hard time getting a high score."
"Don't contradict, Harry."
"Some problems can't be covered up just because you have a good relationship with Hagrid, and if you cover up Hagrid's mistakes because of your personal relationship, then you're no different from Fudge who covered up the return of the mysterious man."
After reminding the trio about Hagrid's problem, Zhang Xu was able to do his best in this matter.
As for Professor Snape, who has a bad reputation among students, Zhang Xu is now waiting for the students' evaluation to see what the expression on Snape's face will be.
The Harry trio saw that Zhang Xu was not worried about this matter, and they were relieved.
After the Harry trio said goodbye and left, Zhang Qiu, who was sitting next to him and didn't talk much, leaned his head over and said, "What were you doing just now?" β
"Discuss what you just said with the other professors." Zhang Xu replied with a question mark on his head.
"Can you discuss that you smell of someone else's perfume?" Zhang Qiu smiled and said, "Don't tell me that you hugged Mrs. Loris, who had sprayed perfume on the way back." β
