Chapter 7 Study Groups
Ravenclawta, in alchemy class.
"It's nice to see you again, I wonder how your summer vacation went? The teacher had a very good summer vacation, and during the summer vacation, the teacher had some equally good ideas, would you like to hear about it? Bernard said in a cheerful tone.
After waiting for a while, seeing that the little wizards present were all sitting obediently and no one cooperated with him, Bernard had to continue to speak: "Alchemy is a very profound magic discipline, there are very few wizards who have gone far in this aspect, in order for everyone to learn alchemy better, the teacher wants to organize a study group, select some students to enter this study group, the students in this study group are not necessarily outstanding students, if you want, you can ask the teacher to sign up, but there can not be too many people, At that time, this study group will be formed according to the specific situation of the number of people, please register with the teacher after class, and the specific situation will be notified to everyone separately! ”
The above passage was told by Bernard in both the first and second grade alchemy classes, but in a different way. In the class of first-year freshmen, after the bell rang, Bernard walked into the classroom as promised, the golden robe was shining, and the mysterious patterns on it added a sense of elegance and nobility to Bernard, with blue eyes and handsome appearance, all indicating that this was a handsome and charming, knowledgeable and approachable teacher. But looking at the way the little wizards were sitting precariously, they obviously didn't think so.
Standing on the podium and glancing at the little wizards in the audience, seeing everyone's nervous looks, Bernard said happily: "Everyone seems to have heard about the teacher's actions last year, do you think the teacher will do this this year?" ”
Seeing the expressions of agreement on the faces of the little wizards, Bernard said with a smile: "During the summer vacation, the teacher seriously reflected on his teaching methods, thinking that his previous practice was still too young and inexperienced, and this semester the teacher decided to improve his teaching methods. ”
Speaking of this, Bernard paused for a moment, carefully looked at the expressions of the little wizards present, and felt that everyone was relaxed before continuing: "Of course, the textbook still has to be memorized, but it will not be let everyone memorize it so fast, everyone must complete the recitation of the textbook in stages and steps, you know!" In the theoretical learning stage of alchemy, it is very important to have a firm grasp of a large number of basic knowledge, which is related to whether you can successfully complete the operation in the alchemy experiment in the future, and even in the future, I will review the old knowledge from time to time, so please take this issue seriously! ”
Seeing the little wizards' expressions of sudden realization, Bernard continued: "So, in order for everyone to learn better, I will form a study group, in this group, I will select some students to study alchemy together with the second-year students. The number of these students should not be too large, and we will concentrate on small classes. After class, students who are interested remember to register with the teacher, and the specific situation will be notified to the specific person individually. ”
……
"Rochefort?! Can I help you? Dumbledore sat with his fingers crossed behind his desk in the Headmaster's office, which was full of strange instruments and papers, while the portraits of the other old Headmasters dozed off as usual, though they were all just pretending.
"Professor Dumbledore, I'm here to report something to you, preferably, and I'd like to hear your opinion." Bernard said carefully in his words.
"Oh!? Don't know how I can help you, Bernard? Dumbledore lowered his crossed hands and lowered his head, his blue eyes looking at Bernard through his glasses, his gaze full of inquiry.
As if he had made up his mind, he spoke more and more fluently, "That's right, Professor Dumbledore, I hope to be able to form a study group, well, to provide more learning opportunities for students." ”
Seeing Dumbledore's expression of "please continue", Bernard continued: "I didn't think about it before I came to Hogwarts to set up alchemy courses, after the past year of teaching and exploration, I think that alchemy at Hogwarts still lacks the strength to open, although I think my strength is completely enough to teach these little wizards, but this school still lacks the alchemy learning environment, so I hope to be able to provide some additional guidance for a small number of excellent young wizards, Only then will people put more thought into alchemy. ”
After Bernard finished speaking, he looked at Dumbledore, and Dumbledore pushed his glasses before he spoke: "Bernard, your idea is very good, you are willing to sacrifice your rest time for these children, which makes me, the headmaster, very ashamed, compared to you, I have done so little!" ”
After some emotion, Dumbledore asked rhetorically: "Bernard, your idea is very good, but you will undoubtedly put pressure on other teachers by doing this, you want the little wizards to learn a little more, this is not wrong, but I don't know if you have considered the situation of other teachers, you will cause some trouble to everyone by doing this, I think you can understand what I mean." Dumbledore's tone was still mild, but there was a clear disapproval in his words.
"Headmaster, I don't think the situation you mentioned will come true, except for alchemy, other courses have been offered at Hogwarts for a long time, and the young wizards can get guidance from their seniors on how to use the books in the library, and even in the house collection of Ravenclaw House, there are notes from former excellent students, in this regard, Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, Professor Snape They really don't have to worry, but alchemy is different, Hogwarts has never offered this course before, Although the library has a rich collection of books, it is a pity, Professor Dumbledore, that many of these books are too advanced for young wizards, and you are welcome to say that if we really want to do a good job in alchemy, then it is necessary for the library to add a new batch of books. In addition to the new book, the guidance of a pioneer is also indispensable, but there is too little communication between teachers and students in the classroom, and only by cultivating more excellent students outside the class can we help more students learn alchemy better! ”
Dumbledore thought for a moment before he said, "Okay, Bernard, you can form a study group, this is your right as a professor, as for the problem of library books you said, I will decide what to do after asking Mrs. Pince, if what you said is true, then I will report to the school board, and I hope Bernard can recommend it when the time comes." ”
"Thank you for your support, Professor Dumbledore, I will not fail to live up to your trust!" Bernard said excitedly.
