Harry and Ron hurried into the classroom, apparently losing track of time with Hagrid, and then underestimating the height of the Astronomical Tower.

"Also...... OK...... Classes haven't been taken yet. Harry sat on his stool, panting, and as soon as he finished speaking, a bell rang and a strange voice rang, "Class, all sit down, class, sit down, the teacher is coming." ”

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, Bernard, dressed in a golden robe, walked into the classroom.

"Oh! He's really worth a lot of money. Ron sighed quietly. Indeed, Bernard's current outfit is not at all the same as before, with a golden robe imprinted with mysterious symbols and patterns, a crystal necklace on his chest, and a watch and ring on his wrist and hand.

"Mr. Weasley, it's not right for you to say that." Apparently, Ron's whisper was heard by Bernard, and his words made Ron blush. Bernard was about to say something, but he stopped when he saw Ron's appearance, and then he spoke.

"Hogwarts didn't have a tradition of teaching alchemy classes before, after all, this was not your strong point, and there were no good alchemists even in England, Dumbledore might be one...... It took a lot of effort to convince Dumbledore to teach alchemy at Hogwarts, and we were lucky enough to be able to take this fascinating course. ”

After a moment of reaction, Bernard continued: "There are few courses as complex and varied as alchemy, and many people struggle to achieve much in this subject in their lifetime, this is a subject that is only suitable for geniuses. After saying this, Bernard clearly saw Hermione's eyes light up and leaned forward slightly, which made Bernard happy.

"I wonder if any of you have pre-studied the textbook?" Bernard asked.

As expected, Hermione's hand was raised high again, and many of the Slytherin students also raised their hands, but it was Gryffindor, and Hermione was the only one.

"Very well, each student who raises their hand adds one point to their respective house, well, I'll see, Gryffindor plus one point, Slytherin plus six. Very good! Very good! So, has anyone finished the whole book? Bernard asked another question, and this time, Hermione was the only one who raised her hand.

"Very good, great job, Miss Granger, Gryffindor plus five points, so the last question, Miss Granger, can you memorize the textbook?" After asking this question, Bernard couldn't help but have some expectations, if Hermione's intelligence was used in alchemy, then she would definitely be excellent, but she lacked some training.

"Yes, Professor, I memorized them because they were so much fun." Hermione seemed a little embarrassed when she finished speaking, but immediately looked up proudly.

Looking at the incredible eyes of the other students, Bernard just wanted to say that the quality of Hogwarts students over the years is really a bit poor, and it can be seen that among the internationally renowned wizards over the years, there are fewer and fewer in the United Kingdom, and now the reputation of Hogwarts or Britain is completely supported by Dumbledore, and it is no wonder that after Dumbledore's death, the British wizarding world is like the sky has collapsed.

"Very well, Gryffindor plus twenty points, and Miss Granger can stay for a while after class?" Bernard said softly.

"Of course you can teach." Hermione replied cheerfully.

"Very good, then let's start today's lesson, "Alchemy Linguistics" and "A Preliminary Study of the Mystery of Alchemy" are our textbooks this year, students who have pre-studied will be able to understand, the content is not difficult, because this is a very basic alchemy knowledge."

After listening to Bernard's words, Ron and Harry quickly opened the textbook, there were many students like them, but everyone looked at the complex graphics and sentence patterns in the book, and the large Latin quotations, they didn't find it difficult at all, and then they heard a nightmarish sentence.

"So before the next class, I hope you can memorize these two books, it's not that hard." As soon as these words came out, the whole class was in an uproar, and everyone made a fuss all of a sudden.

With a flick of his wand, the class fell silent, and then Bernard asked, "Is there any problem?" Students, if you have questions, you can raise your hand. "Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and finally Malfoy raised his hand, which couldn't help but make Bernard sigh, what about the aggressive lion and the insidious snake, which is not in line with reality.

"Sir, I think we may have misheard before, did you mean that we are going to memorize the whole book?" Malfoy thought for a moment and asked.

"That's right, Mr. Draco, this is what I ask of you and today's class work, I'll check it in the next class, you're all very good kids, you just lack some means to unlock your talents, trust me you can, just look at Miss Granger."

Hearing Bernard's words of confirmation, the children seemed to want to discuss loudly again, but seeing that Bernard had not lowered his wand, they stopped their voices and began to talk in a low voice, and then Harry raised his hand.

"Professor, what if we don't memorize them all? Will there be any penalties? Obviously, Harry's words asked everyone's thoughts, and many people looked at Bernard expectantly, and Bernard also lived up to expectations and said: "Of course there is no punishment, and not being able to memorize it just proves that you are not suitable for my course, and it is okay not to come to it in the future, okay Mr. Potter, is there any more problem?" ”

This time everyone seemed much quieter, but it was clear that some of the bright kids understood what Bernard was saying, while others didn't understand what it meant not to come to the class, such as Ron, who was now relaxed.

"Okay, since everyone has no problems, let's get out of class, I hope I can continue to see you next time."

……

Seeing that everyone was walking one after another, Bernard turned to Hermione and said, "Miss Granger, please take a seat, don't be inhibited, do you need any drinks?" As he spoke, waving his wand, a high-backed chair and a delicate small table floated out.

"Coffee, thank you, Professor." As soon as Hermione finished speaking, a cup of hot coffee and a small plate of dessert appeared on the table.

"Miss Granger, you're really smart, so I'd like to educate you differently, which would be good for you, but I'd like to ask for your opinion." Bernard pondered his words and finally said this.

"Of course, Professor, I'm honored." Apparently Hermione was glad that her genius had been discovered by her teacher, and she gladly accepted this extra education.

"Very well, Miss Granger, I hope you will be able to memorize this book before the next class, of course, the study of magic is a bit early for you, I will give you a note so that you can borrow all the relevant books in the library, and if you have really difficult questions, I also welcome you to come to me to discuss."

"Thank you, Professor, I'll be able to memorize it." Looking at a book as thick as a dictionary, Hermione was even happier than ever.
