Chapter 206: Alan's Suggestion
When the last few pieces of pumpkin pie on the golden plate were gone, Dumbledore announced that everyone could go to bed.
Surrounded by the Ravenclaws, Alan walked together in the direction of the Ravenclaw Tower.
"Alan!" Ron didn't know when he squeezed over and stopped Alan.
"Alan, let's go and say hello to Hagrid!" Ron looked expectant.
"Of course!" Alan nodded apologetically to Edward, who willingly went back to his dorm room.
Alan went in the opposite direction to him.
Harry and Hermione were standing not far away, looking a little anxious.
They were in a hurry to talk to Hagrid.
"Congratulations, Hagrid!" they shouted as they walked over to the faculty table, Hermione.
"Thanks to you. Hagrid said, wiping his oily cheeks with a napkin and looking up at them.
"Allen has the most credit. Harry said sincerely.
"Hagrid, you've become our professor!" Hermione was heartily happy for Hagrid.
They know how important it is for Hagrid to be a teacher.
Hagrid was not a fully qualified wizard, having been expelled from Hogwarts in his third year for a trumped-up crime.
It wasn't until last semester that his charges were cleared.
"I can't believe it...... What an amazing man, Dumbledore...... Professor Kettleburn said he had had enough, and Dumbledore came straight to me...... That's exactly what I've always wanted......"
He was so excited that he buried his face in a napkin.
"Hagrid, why did you choose the Monster Book of Monsters as your textbook?"
Alan hurriedly diverted Hagrid's attention, a professor, crying in front of the public, will damage the image!
What's more, Professor McGonagall, who was beside Hagrid, frowned tightly on her already serious face, and she was about to come to chase people away.
"It's fun, isn't it?"
Hagrid blew his nose loudly, then wiped his nose with the large napkin.
"Yes-yes. Seeing Hagrid's expectant gaze, Hermione and Harry nodded against their will.
"What's so interesting about a book that can bite off a person's finger?" Ron muttered quietly, and Alan listened to it.
Alan felt like he liked Ron a little bit.
"Actually, Hagrid, not everybody likes something a little — um— irritating. ”
Alan expressed his opinion as tactfully as he could.
He felt that if it was really good for Hagrid, he couldn't just watch Hagrid mess up his first lesson.
"Oh, Alan, Hagrid needs some encouragement right now!" Hermione looked at Alan disapprovingly.
"You're right, Hermione. But I think the best encouragement is that Hagrid is recognized by all the young wizards. Alan looked at Hermione in a sincere tone.
"Also, Hagrid is going to have his first lesson on protecting magical creatures tomorrow, don't you want to know what kind of magical creatures he will bring into class?"
As he spoke, Alan looked at Hagrid.
"Alan is right, I do crave your approval. Thank you, Hermione. Hagrid put the napkin back on the countertop, and it disappeared in an instant.
"In my first class, I would like to introduce you to the Hippogriff, the winged beast of the Hippogriff. Hagrid couldn't help but smile.
"Alan, you're Dumbledore's teaching assistant, and I know the handouts you prepared were well received by the young wizards. I'd love to hear your thoughts. Hagrid looked at Alan earnestly, his big eyes unblinking.
"Hagrid, the Department of Magical Creatures Management and Control has classified all known animals, people, and ghosts. Allen's expression also became serious.
Hermione had a hunch that Allen's next words might not be what Hagrid liked to hear, and she worriedly stopped, "Allen......"
Alan looked at Hermione with a smile, his gaze so determined, that Hermione was speechless for a moment.
"These classification levels provide a guide to recognise at a glance the dangers of an animal. Alan continued, "If you're not sure if a creature is going to be a hazard to a young wizard, then it's worth referring to these levels. ”
"As far as I know, Hippogriffs are third-level magical creatures that can be tamed, but this should only be tried by experts. It's dangerous to let a young wizard who has just reached the third year tame tame them. ”
Alan's words were well-founded, Hagrid listened very carefully, Hermione couldn't argue with Alan, and she was successfully persuaded by Alan.
"Teaching should not only take into account the personal interests and hobbies of teachers, but also take into account the age characteristics and learning conditions of students. Allen concluded.
Alan spoke eloquently and convincingly.
When it comes to teaching, Alan is a professional!
"But where do I find these grades?"
For Hagrid, animals were divided into those he was interested in and those who were not, and he never paid attention to grading.
"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them!" Hermione blurted out, preemptively answering Hagrid's question.
Alan gave Hermione an approving look.
Hermione didn't know why, but this glance made her feel happier than being praised and given extra points by the professor.
She was overjoyed in her heart, and a big smile involuntarily appeared on her face.
"Perhaps, I can start with the Frog Armyworm. They are very safe. Hagrid said thoughtfully.
"No, I don't recommend using the Frog Armyworm either. Alan hurriedly refused.
He himself had chosen to protect the magical artifact class, and he didn't want to spend the whole class in a daze with a group of disgusting Flober armyworms.
Everyone's eyes were once again focused on Allen.
It doesn't work, it doesn't work!!!
"A popular lesson should not only be about safety, although safety is the first element. ”
Alan continued, "It also needs to be able to arouse the interest of the little wizards in learning. I think the Ball Bird and the Moon Beast are both more suitable magical creatures. Girls may be more interested in pretty fairies. ”
Not only the four Hagrids, but even Professor McGonagall on the side listened with relish.
"Alan, you know so much!" Ron was completely impressed by Alan's knowledge and demeanor.
Harry nodded desperately.
Not knowing what came to mind, Hermione blushed inexplicably.
"Thank you, Alan. I think I can go to the Forbidden Forest and see if there are any of these magical creatures you mentioned. ”
Hagrid slapped Alan on the shoulder with his big slap, and Alan pretended not to take it anymore and collapsed on the table next to him.
Everyone laughed.
"Oh, Alan, you always surprise me! If you want, maybe when you graduate, Hogwarts will welcome you!"
Seeing Hagrid regain his strengths, Professor McGonagall, who had always been serious, made a rare joke.
