Chapter 62: The Hufflepuff Story Meeting
That's just plain.
If you have studied at Hogwarts for a few years, you will understand that the hardest hit areas of point deduction are always concentrated in the lower grades.
Because I will subconsciously ignore the school rules, because I will always be curious about some objects in the school, and I am not very skilled in 'skills', and I have been caught a lot of times, so the first two years of entering the school will be the hardest hit area of the deduction of points.
Maybe it's not a lot of points deducted each time, but too many times is also a terrible number.
This can even be seen from Snape's increasing ceiling of deductions year by year, except for Slytherin students, the higher the grade, the more deductions he makes, which is not necessarily the reason why it is difficult for senior students to catch violations.
In this case, the truth is really as Gabriel said: as long as the first-year students perform well enough not to deduct points, but to work hard to add points to the college, then the score of the college itself will not be low.
But that's the point.
If it can be done so easily, then Penelope won't have to have a headache here.
"It's like there's no genius in your Hufflepuffs, you Hufflepuff have McMeb, Gryffindor has Potter who scored exceptions, but we also have McDoug in our house."
"Well, you don't think it's good, Gryffindor is brave enough to attack Quidditch, you try to rely on genius, we Hufflepuffs are used to unity."
Gabriel was just laughing there, and the inadmissibility almost made Penelope half angry.
But before she could say anything, Penelo's shrewd mind suddenly realized something very important.
Perhaps, that is the truth.
"Wait, you said unity......"
"Well, we've had regular make-up classes within the academy lately, and they're at a level that doesn't require us seniors to interfere, whether it's Potions or Defense Against the Dark Arts, which Connor brings."
Speaking of this, Gabriel's words are full of emotion.
"He is very willing to help his classmates improve together, and I feel that I have already seen the candidates for the prefect in four years."
He gave a thumbs up.
"I'll give Cedric the prefect badge in two years, and Cedric will give the badge to Connor in two years, and we in the Badger House are not short of this kind of talent."
Although the tone was not too intense, Penelope heard a lot of boasting in it.
Ravenclaw is not without similar in-house events, but also a historic book club.
In order to ensure that they do not fall behind in the house scores, the house will also hold internal private exams on a regular basis, but these are basically the seniors who have to work hard, want to find a peer student who can directly make up lessons for the junior at the beginning of the school year, just like Hufflepuff at the beginning of the school year?
That's really hard.
In the end, they have to work hard, and they may fall behind in the course.
But...... It seems that there really is a similar candidate?
"Wait, we won't let you catch up!"
In addition to a harsh remark, the Ravenclaw prefect left in such a hurry.
Looking at her back, Gabriel just laughed softly.
"That's how you told you the secret of our Hufflepuff getting stronger?"
When he came back to his senses, someone couldn't help but ask.
But Gabriel wasn't flustered at all.
"Everyone knows that helping new students with textbooks, internal reading clubs, study clubs, etc., can greatly improve the grades of the college, but who can do this? Even we had a hard time doing this before. ”
It's not that I don't have this in mind, it's just that some things are really hard to say.
The grades of the first and second graders are already uneven, and the more time passes, the more obvious the gap in level becomes, and not everyone has that kind of patience, and those things are constantly put on hold.
"I'm lucky to have Connor now, and he's not only patient, but he's also very good at lecturing."
Speaking of this, Gabriel couldn't help but glance at the clock.
"It's almost time, let's go back to the lounge, it's time to end over there."
In the lounge, which was deliberately vacated by senior students, the little badgers gathered here also finished their short tutoring.
"Alright, that's it for today."
Casually tossing aside the textbook he had never opened, Connor let out a long sigh of relief.
"It's getting late, and we can't continue to occupy the lounge."
At a glance, almost all of the thirty or forty first-year Hufflepuff students were here, and they all had expressions of unfinished eyes on their faces.
"Is this the end of today's story? I'd like to keep listening. ”
Hannah and Susan both had expressions of unfinished thoughts on their faces.
Yes, that's what Connor calls tutoring.
With the restless personalities of the little wizards, except for some children who love to read, no one really wants to hold a textbook and read outside the classroom.
People like Ernie are typical of them, this guy will never read outside the classroom, and usually do homework with an atmosphere of begging grandpa and grandma in it.
And if you really want them to memorize those basic knowledge, it is obviously not possible to simply recite and tutor repeatedly.
So, Connor went straight to a different approach: storytelling.
If you are interested, you will naturally learn, and if you find the right context, you will naturally be motivated to achieve the predetermined goal.
It's also a shame that there aren't many things to learn in the first grade, just a few basic spells and the role of identifying some basic herbs.
Connor never gave them any technical guidance, just let them know where to use what they learned.
Most of the first-year students are only 11 years old, and most of their minds are simple, and it is easy to go to the end, as long as this kind of persistence is used in the right place, then the atmosphere of the whole college can naturally become better.
What's more, now they are gradually discovering the advantages among their classmates.
"Ernie! Ernie! What exactly is the point of the Knockback Charm? Why do you shoot so quickly every time? ”
"Hannah! How on earth can I turn a match into a needle? ”
Most of the students have strengths and weaknesses, so they will help each other and make up for each other.
"Am I stirring up a terrible atmosphere?"
But it doesn't matter, he thinks it's a good atmosphere anyway.
"After a while, maybe we will be able to move on to the next stage...... At least we'll have to give them a little bit of self-preservation, Fill. ”
Gently scratching his kitten's chin, he quietly stepped back and left the lounge through the secret passage outside the main entrance, and entered the kitchen.
"Wheat cakes."
He whispered.
"Ahh Mr. McMab! ”
"Take me to the library."
"Okay, okay!"
After wiping his hands with a clean towel, the house-elf stretched out his withered and ugly palms.
"Please follow me."
