Chapter 962: Elementary School and University
Lunn, the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, walked up the stairs, holding a number of manuscripts in his hand, and pointed at them with the small end of the tip of his wand, using the end of the handle of the wand to project some news and photos into the eyes of most people.
"Let me first introduce to you the current situation in our British wizarding world, after the change of Hogwarts, both the Death Eaters and the pure-bloods were stunned by our hands, and now it seems to be calm but there is an undercurrent, those pure-blood families have not reacted yet, and for the time being, due to the deterrence of Ravenclaw, they dare not question and comment on the founder's decision..."Lunn magnified the news accusing Dumbledore, and let the photo of Dumbledore falling to the ground due to stimulation played in front of everyone," They vigorously promoted moral laws and the dangers of dark magic before the media changed, and instead put themselves in the position of the weak, pretending to be pitiful, pretending to be innocent, claiming that they had worked hard for Hogwarts for many years, trying to put all the blame for Lady Ravenclaw's criticism on the former Headmaster Dumbledore, trying to put themselves in the position of being bluffed by the White Wizard..."
Albert looked at Dumbledore's aging and helpless posture and couldn't bear to look over, he can be regarded as the least Harris Harris in the Harris, although as a pure-blood, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his family in this kind of struggle, but remembering some kindness shown by the former headmaster of Hogwarts during the previous school, he couldn't help but feel a little sad for the disgrace of the White Wizard.
Fleur noticed the change in her fiancé's feelings around her, and put her arm around him to lean towards him: "We all feel that we are upright people, and we all need to feel like we are upright people... This is true for all people. ”
And the introduction of Harris's second son did not delay and continued.
"But after that, the situation in the wizarding world was not optimistic in the short term, the purebloods who had been drawn out of the old bottom would not give in, and the Death Eaters were creating terror everywhere, which brought great danger and instability to both the wizarding and Muggle worlds...
Now, the Ministry of Magic is also under the oppression of foreign forces, and those that are controlled by local pure-blood families abroad, after witnessing the defeat of our native pure-blood families in England after this incident, finally can't help but write to the British Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts to be thoughtful in their curriculum and teaching content - in fact, I think the immigration tendencies of the civilian wizards under their rule have also forced them to make this decision.
As ordinary wizards, according to the statistics of the Ravenclaw Temple, after this incident, after the outbreak of the conflict between Alan and Dumbledore, many wizards realized that they were too blindly optimistic before. ”
Lunn paused and looked at Hermione, who was still on the side: "For this reason, they even did not hesitate to use trade and administrative means to start putting pressure on us in the United Kingdom on the prohibition of substances, and those local pure-blood families in the country have also joined forces to fight against the related industries of the Harris family's umbrella company." ”
"Now many cunning families have forgotten their former glory and turned themselves into a pure merchant family!"
"We should directly sanction them with tougher means!"
"Yes, we're in control of the Ministry of Magic!"
Some of the more radical wizards shouted out.
"No! We can't go down the same path! We can't afford to repeat the mistakes of the past! It's not surprising that the Foreign Powers are asking for this because the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts are in their interest to share advanced magical knowledge. Mr. John Barça stroked his short curls back, "At this point, I don't think there is any need for the Umbrella Company to take care of it, we can rely on our deep pockets and power to enter the industries of those pure-blood families, and then crush them at a cheaper price, so that they will not be able to gain a foothold in England and can only go abroad... As for foreign issues, we cannot look at the enemy as a whole, as long as there are enough interests ... I think a lot of families would be happy to make a different choice..."
"Mr. Barcelona, your suggestion is very wise and actionable, but because the amount of money that Alan needs to invest in the next few projects is very huge, so if we don't want the fragile economic system of our wizarding world to collapse, we can put pressure on them step by step, but we can't make too much progress..."
However, the wizards' attention was immediately drawn to the items mentioned in Hermione's words.
John Barça and his colleagues made eye contact with each other, curious about what Hermione was talking about Alan's big project, but they weren't sure if it was the right question for such an occasion, so they could only stop the discussion and shut their mouths.
"Recently, the Ministry of Magic has received a number of requests from wizards from abroad to emigrate to Hogwarts, and they all want their children to come to Hogwarts... In addition to the fact that the founder Ravenclaw appeared at Hogwarts, and because we claim to be able to teach young wizards a lot of magic that they can't learn anywhere else, even some of the down-and-out purebloods want to immigrate and send their children to Hogwarts. In light of this situation, Hogwarts is about to undergo an expansion. Lunn said as he tried to spread out a piece of parchment.
"The little wizards born in the wizarding world are different from the children in the Muggle world, and the children born in wizarding families are all at home by adults or tutors to complete their basic education before entering school... Because of the educational methods of each family, the level of education is different... As a result, the young wizards had varying levels of education before entering Hogwarts, some had no idea of basic arithmetic, and some had become jack-of-all-trades..."Hermione paused expressionlessly to hide her embarrassment. Therefore, taking advantage of this expansion, Alan intends to carry out a comprehensive reform of education, further refine the learning level of wizards, and establish a wizarding primary school and a wizarding university that can be further after graduating from Hogwarts, because wizards are not suitable for practicing magic before the age of 10 and lack the ability to take care of themselves, so the primary school will not use a boarding system, nor does it need to use a magic wand, and only carry out the basic education of unified textbooks, complete the learning of basic text, basic mathematics and magic knowledge... At Hogwarts, Muggle-born wizards were required to teach general knowledge of the wizarding world, while children of wizarding families who had already learned in elementary school were required to take Muggle studies lessons. ”
"I can probably understand Wizard Elementary... I think the witches, who are mothers, would love the opportunity to relax... Although my chattering wife and I are old enough to enjoy this benefit..."Grimson, who was still sitting at the headmaster's table with playing cards in his hand, caricatured himself for a moment, then looked at Owen and asked, "What is wizarding college? If I understand correctly, it means that even seventeen-year-old wizards have to go to school?"
The old men sitting around them didn't know that they had never taken any Muggle studies classes and didn't bother to learn about Muggles. The long eyes who were standing next to him as a dealer quickly leaned down to explain the meaning of the two to these wizards, and took the initiative to answer their questions and help them understand the situation.
"The existing Hogwarts and wizarding elementary schools are similar to other national magic academies, all belong to the free education system, which is considered a kind of welfare for wizards, but universities are not free education - enough bright and excellent students can get scholarships and enough preferential treatment, but most wizards who are not talented enough and want to continue their education have to pay the corresponding price, it is essentially the Ravenclaw Temple that Alan claimed before, similar to a Muggle university, a Muggle research university.
The Ravenclaw Temple University will arrange some courses for these tutors to provide advanced learning, and the Ministry of Magic will cooperate with these public classes, further opening exams for the corresponding subjects and issuing certificates to those who pass - but most importantly, the wizards who are really good enough will become tutors and research assistants, as they did in ancient times, and study and study their respective subject courses.
So in addition to the normal fees charged by wizarding universities, the cutting-edge results of witchcraft research are the most important part for us, no matter how talented we are, no matter how long we live, we can't make achievements in all fields, and this can not only ensure that the skills we master are always at the top level, but also ensure that the umbrella industry is much ahead of those pure-blooded small workshops that rely on some sparks of inspiration to break through their skills behind closed doors, even if we don't count the so-called alumni donations of Muggle University with their own purposes, this can also put our education on a benign path of self-sufficiency, and for ordinary wizardsWizards who have scored enough O in the Ultimate Wizard Exam don't have to do jobs that don't make use of their natural talents after graduation, just continue to study, that's what they're supposed to do. ”
This made the families present who were somewhat disapproving in their hearts because Allen emphasized that they did not value bloodline and only looked at status—although they had just ridiculed the British pure-blood families, they actually attached great importance to the accumulation of capital, and now this new model that currently seems to be able to put them ahead of other competitors is still very satisfying to them.
And after Hermione simply explained the wizarding elementary school and wizarding university to everyone, spread out the parchment on the side, and Lunn took over the conversation, so that the top view of Hogwarts and the surrounding area was magnified in front of everyone.
