Listening to this sentence, all the students became focused, which is the focus of this year. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
By the time they got their book lists, they had already discovered that their book lists and courses had undergone the most radical changes throughout the semester. The strange names on those book lists can be seen at a glance, these are all books written by George Soros.
Tutorials written by the most powerful wizards in the entire wizarding world, courses arranged by George Soros, the biggest change in the school this year is on these courses.
Seeing the concentration on the students' faces, George did not delay.
He continued, "Given the current dangerous situation, every wizard, even if you are not yet an adult, you must master the ability to protect yourself. To that end, throughout the year the vast majority of the school's curriculum has been focused on equipping you with the ability to protect yourself. ā
"All other irrelevant courses will be taken as electives. ā
This is exactly one of his priorities for changing Hogwarts this year, and teaching at Hogwarts, at least for a long time, will become more and more pragmatic.
Listening to George's explanation, the students' faces were all kinds of uncertainties. Does this mean that the focus of all the courses has become magical training?
George didn't care about the students' speculation, and he gestured with his hand to one of the professors on the very edge of the faculty desk.
"This year, our faculty has also changed a lot. First of all, we are pleased to welcome back Professor Graplan, who will continue to be your Conservation of Magical Creatures class. ā
Professor Grapeland stood up, nodded slightly towards everyone, towards George, and bowed, "Thank you, thank you, Rector." I will do my best to teach you what I know in the new school year. ā
The students applauded enthusiastically, especially from the three houses outside Gryffindor.
They had been anguishing and hating Hagrid for a long time, and none of the students wanted to go to Hagrid's classes. When Dumbledore left, their dream finally came true.
George adds, "Of course, as I mentioned before, most of the courses are going to slow down this year. The Conservation of Magical Creatures class is an elective course, and the course schedule will be relatively small. The content of the class will also be notified in advance, so you can go to the class on a temporary basis when you need to. ā
Wait for Professor Grapeland to sit down.
George raised his hand again to indicate the direction of the staff desk, one of the professors to Snape's left, "Next, let's welcome Professor Karkaroff, the new teacher of our Defence Against the Dark Arts class." ā
A tall, thin wizard with silver-white hair and a silver-white goatee stood up and bowed deeply to George. He pressed his forehead to the table and spoke in a humble tone.
"Thank you, great principal, for giving me such an opportunity. I will be teaching Hogwarts students well in the new school year. ā
George nodded, and he said slowly, "Professor Karkaroff, the headmaster of Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, is a senior professor of the dark arts. ā
After last year's Triwizard Tournament, Professor Karkaroff was very impressed by the excellent performance of the Hogwarts students, and he fell in love with the Hogwarts students. Professor Karkaroff voluntarily gave up his position as Headmaster of Durmstrang and wanted to teach at Hogwarts. ā
He continued, "This year's Defence Against the Dark Arts class will be the focus of this year's learning. We are honored to have such a senior professor of dark arts. At Professor Karkaroff's insistence, I agreed to him becoming a professor in Defence Against the Dark Arts class at Hogwarts. ā
"We applaud Professor Karkaroff for his insight. ā
There was sparse applause in the auditorium, and everyone didn't have a good impression of this Durmstrang principal.
During last year's Triwizard Tournament, Karkaroff showed no shortage of his differential treatment. Such a teacher is not what everyone wants to see.
Karkarov didn't care at all about the coldness of the students, he was happy.
When he heard that he had finally become, a professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts. He knew that he had finally become a member of Hogwarts.
A boulder that had been hanging in his heart finally fell peacefully. He didn't have to worry about being asked to leave Hogwarts anymore, and he was finally safe.
Since Voldemort's resurrection last year, he has been terrified.
He had betrayed Voldemort when he had disappeared. He was caught by the Ministry of Magic, and in court, he revealed numerous Death Eaters to the Ministry of Magic for his own safety, in exchange for a commutation of his sentence.
It was his testimony that led to the capture of some Death Eaters who were not exposed. Voldemort would never tolerate such a betrayal, and Voldemort would never let him go.
During the Triwizard Tournament, Voldemort descended into the labyrinth, and he was the one who was most feared and scared. He was the one who really betrayed Voldemort, and when Voldemort appeared in front of him, he reacted immediately.
As soon as he appears outside, he is immediately hunted by Voldemort and the Death Eaters. He couldn't defeat Voldemort before, let alone Voldemort, who became even stronger later.
In this case, his only choice is to turn to a strong man who can prove to be able to stand up to Voldemort. Only by taking refuge in George Soros, who defeated Voldemort head-on, can he save his life under Voldemort's pursuit.
Last year, before the holidays, he was bent on staying at Hogwarts, he did not go back with Durmstrang students, and he did not hesitate to give up his position as headmaster of Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
He was willing to give all his collection, all his knowledge, and he was willing to use the rest of his life to get a job in front of George, just to be able to stay at Hogwarts.
"He was obviously afraid of being hunted by Voldemort. Ron whispered in Harry's ear.
They knew that Karkaroff was a Death Eater, so they could naturally guess his thoughts. After Voldemort's resurrection, those who betrayed Voldemort could no longer find any safe place but Hogwarts.
On the other side, after Professor Karkaroff sat down, George continued to introduce the other teachers.
"Because Defence Against the Dark Arts class will be the focus of all students this school year. Professor Karkaroff is a one-man Defence Against the Dark Arts class, which is not enough to meet the demands of the new school year at Hogwarts. ā
