Chapter 862: An ominous premonition from Hermione
Even with the implementation of the new curriculum, the lower grades at Hogwarts can enjoy weekends for the time being.
Unlike the senior students who have to add minors and have to add classes on Saturdays, the first and second grades can still comfortably huddle in the library, break room, or lie in the shade of the trees by the lake, watching the giant squid that occasionally surfaces, and the magical animal protection class going on in the clearing of the distant forest farm.
Except, of course, Elena Kaslana.
She was locked up by Horace Slughorn for openly cooking "white soup pufferfish" in Potions class, and was given a reflection in the Potions professor's office on Saturday afternoon...... That meant her first weekend of school was in the dust.
β...... Eh, the first time you were confined ......"
The bad wizards hidden in Hogwarts, such as Tom Riddle and Dolores Umbridge, may have some regrettable personalities because they have not experienced the full life of Hogwarts.
As for Elena, she clearly does not belong to the kind of wizard who lacks love, responsibility, and justice.
Just like the Harry Potter trio in the original books, even if they are locked up, copied sentences, and deducted points every semester, whether it is blowing up crucibles, stealing things, or burning robes...... But everyone knows that the three of them are good wizards of justice.
Bidding farewell to Quirinus Quirrell and inspecting her "territory", Elena comforted herself like this while returning to the gate of Hogwarts Castle.
Not surprisingly, a few other little wings were already waiting there.
Due to the mixed population of the House City and the many secrets involved, no students other than Elena were allowed to leave the Hogwarts gates and go to the areas where the researchers were located - Hogwarts professors, house-elves, and even researchers from the former Soviet Union would be responsible for enforcing the ban.
"So, what's out of the school?"
Hannah Abbott asked curiously, looking behind Elena on tiptoe.
"Luna said you received a sniffer, I've only seen it in books, and I've never seen it alive! I heard that there is a small and delicate nest, and a lot of small toys, Elena, do you have a new pet?"
"Oh, that...... It was a large black-haired hamster, which Muggles liked to raise. β
Elena replied without thinking, the little hair on her head was sincere, "Hogwarts isn't fit for it, so I sent it outside the school, and when I go, it's happily running around in its cage!"
"As for the outside of the school...... Well, it's no secret anyway, I'll tell you a little bit in advance. β
Elena paused slightly, looked around vigilantly, and whispered mysteriously.
"Well, most of those 'pre-session' professors who have not yet met the curriculum standards are now readjusting their lesson plans for a new round of Hogwarts assessments, and if they are successful, the school will consider adding corresponding subjects in the future, such as biochemistry, physics, and geography that you were exposed to last year...... If you are interested, I can ......"
"Not interested, I'm not interested at all! Elena, don't say such a terrible thing on the weekend!"
Hannah shook her head in defiance as if she remembered something terrible.
Although those mouthful, wonderful "introductory knowledge of biology" helped her quickly master the Runim script.
But if Hannah Abbott had to choose, she would have preferred to fall asleep under a warm and soft bed rather than be woken up at a cold, hard library table β what ATP, what phosphoric acid, it's horrible.
Instead, Hermione Granger frowned thoughtfully.
Judging from the white-haired dumpling's stupid reaction, this is at least a "superficial" true description.
In other words, those who live outside the school are indeed "reserve professors", and since there are no wizards in the wizarding world who are capable of teaching these knowledge, the true identity of these "professors" is self-evident.
In the school of witchcraft and wizardry at Hogwarts, the ...... on a large scale Bringing in non-wizarding scholars?
Hermione Granger had a faint hint of unease in her heart.
It's just that she doesn't know where this unexplained uneasiness comes from.
Judging from the current situation, whether it is Dumbledore, the Ministry of Magic, the school board...... Almost without exception, all the symbols representing the authority of the wizarding world are involved in this educational reform project, and even behind it is the full cooperation of a Gringotts wizarding bank, which is almost a collection of all the forces and voices of the wizarding world.
But...... Hermione's gaze swept over Luna's face as usual.
The witch, who had the strongest premonition among them, did not show any uneasiness.
But for some reason, Hermione became more and more bottomless, and she clearly felt that she seemed to have caught some dangerous tailβsomewhere, Elena, and even Dumbledore might have overlooked......
"Hey, Hermione, why do you have such a sad face. β
Hannah screamed and turned her head to look at Hermione, as if she had met the "jack-of-all-trades" for the first time.
"It's not like your style, didn't you complain yesterday that the course was too simple and wanted to have more new content?"
In Hannah's impression, unlike these ordinary "ordinary people", Hermione's exuberant desire for knowledge is almost like the flame of a phoenix, which will never be extinguished in the face of those troublesome esoteric knowledge.
You know, even Elena sometimes gets impatient, but Hermione doesn't.
Hermione Granger suppressed the worry on her face, shook her head, and whispered.
"It's not because of this, it's just that I suddenly have a sense of foreboding, but I can't say why. Anyway, we're leading this white-haired ball to confinement first, and Horace Slughorn is probably already in the office. β
"Huh?!Ominous premonition?"
Elena raised her eyebrows in surprise and pursed her lips in a strange expression.
Hermione Granger nodded solemnly.
"Yes, Elena, I'd suggest you'd better go over with Professor Dumbledore. And you'd better stay in the office and don't ...... You know...... I think there's something wrong. β
β...... Okay, good, I've always been a good obedient girl. β
Elena nodded helplessly and said perfunctorily.
If Luna Lovegood had said that, she might have thought about it a little.
But in Elena's impression, this Miss Hermione Calculation Granger's talent in "Eye of the Sky" has always been quite weak, and the phrase "I have an ominous premonition" came out of Hermione's mouth is really strange.
Moreover, it is different from the previous unsightly "Dark Lord Power Expansion".
This time, the new curriculum standard plan is an open-minded and recognized reform of magic education from all walks of life.
The plan and roster for Professor Horace Slughorn had already been arranged, and there was really no need to stop at such a time, and Elena didn't plan to let the old professor see too much of the core content except for a little cooperation.
"Don't worry, I'll admit my mistakes in the office and won't mess around......"
A moment later, standing in the doorway of Professor Horace Slughorn's office, Elena affectionately pinched Hermione's nose and smiled, then pushed open the office door and entered the warm room with the glow of a fireplace.
However, wait until the door closes again.
Elena looked up at the two old wizards sitting by the fireplace, and the first thing she said was:
"Professor Slughorn, have you heard of the Special Containment Procedures Foundation......"
