Chapter 12, Lesson 1
Calvin's first class was a new class for third-graders, on Tuesday morning.
Professor McGonagall had prepared a large classroom for him, which was filled with young wizards. Calvin saw that so many people had chosen the Magical Beasts Protection class, and nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that the little wizards are very enthusiastic about the Magical Beasts Protection class?" I just don't know what the purpose of this course is. ”
After a brief roll call, Calvin began his first lesson at Hogwarts.
"We're officially starting classes," Calvin blinked his red eyes and smiled, "My name is Calvin Capet, and I'm currently the professor in the school's Conservation of Magical Beasts class. ”
"I'm glad that so many young wizards in third year have chosen my class, although it may be that your seniors say to you that there is very little homework in the Fantastic Beasts class, or that the OWL.s exam for this class is easy to pass."
"I can't guarantee any of that."
There was a lot of chatter in the classroom.
"But," Calvin cast a spell on his throat with his wand, and the little wizard heard a sound that made their souls tremble.
The magic sound spell, imitated from the evil woman's bird.
Calvin continued, "But I can promise to bring a new twist to the class. And the first change you have already felt is that instead of having classes on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, we are sitting together in this big classroom. ”
"Mr. Diggory." Calvin saw Cedric raise his hand and called him by name.
"Professor, will we always be in the classroom in the future?" Cedric's expression was a little lost, and it seemed that he liked the little animals.
"You may be seated, Diggory. I promise you, no. This semester, the Conservation of Magical Beasts class will be divided into two parts, theoretical and practical. In theory lessons, you will learn about the theory of magical beasts. Some of you may ask, Professor Capet, when are we going to have a practical class? With that, Calvin paused, and then the classroom fell silent.
"I need someone to work with me." Calvin said helplessly, and laughter erupted in the classroom that had just been silent.
"Professor Capet, what if we can have a practical class?" George Weasley asked aloud.
Calvin also smiled: "Of course, when you have enough knowledge to protect magical beasts, as well as protect yourselves." In fact, for you little wizards, knowing how to protect yourself is far more important than protecting magical beasts. ”
"In practical lessons, you need patience, great wisdom, fearless courage and calmness in the face of magical beasts. See what I mean? ”
Roger Davis of Ravenclaw raised his hand and replied, "It means that the students of the four houses need to cooperate." ”
"Good, Ravenclaw plus two points."
"Although the theory class is taught in the classroom, it does not mean that you will not be exposed to magical beasts, I will use special methods to bring magical beasts to the class, so that you can observe and learn."
Hearing this, the little wizards' eyes widened and they looked at Professor Capet expectantly.
Calvin waved his wand, and a huge picture scroll unfolded in front of the classroom. Many of the little wizards looked disappointed. Collins Foley muttered quietly, "It turned out to be just a painting of a unicorn, and what special way to contact magical beasts." ”
However, in the next second, Collins was shocked. I saw the unicorn step down from the drawing paper, snort in front of Calvin, rubbed the professor's robe affectionately, and then bowed his head obediently.
Calvin rubbed the unicorn's head and looked up at the silent classroom: "Don't be too surprised, this is just another genre of magic painting, this is not the focus of our class, you can just treat it as a special teaching aid." ”
Fred exclaimed, "It's amazing, it's so cool. ”
Calvin let go of the unicorn and continued: "For many years, wizards' research on magical beasts has been stuck in the record of fragmented, fragmented, and fragmented knowledge, focusing only on the appearance of magical beasts, and not delving into the nature of magical beasts. ”
Reflected in the classroom, it is reflected in the fact that the little wizard can only memorize all kinds of knowledge about magical beasts, and there is no main thread that connects these scattered knowledge. With the exception of a handful of young wizards who truly love magical beasts, very few people can get an O on the OWL.s exam in the Conservation of Magical Beasts class. As a result, the Conservation of Magical Beasts class has an extremely high selection rate, but a very low score rate. ”
"Still, in my opinion, none of this is a problem." Calvin tapped the podium twice with his wand, and a handful of grass and a bottle of blue potion appeared on each young wizard's table, "Now, everyone drip potions onto the grass, not more, one or two drops will be enough." Then wait for the unicorn to eat your forage. ”
Calvin patted the unicorn on the head: "Go ahead." The unicorn walked slowly towards the students with a dance-like pace.
Everyone wants unicorns to pamper their forage. Cedric's eyes widened and he met the unicorn, as if hoping to impress the unicorn with a sincere gaze.
The Weasley twins wave the hay in their hands as a way to get the unicorn's attention.
Davis struck a strange pose, and according to him, he was imitating a female unicorn for courtship.
However, the unicorn ignored the strange boys, and after a long circle around the classroom, he went straight to Collins Foley, bowed his head and ate the hay in her hand, which made Collins scream with happiness, and had the courage to stroke the unicorn's silky white hair and horns on its head.
Soon, a group of girls gathered around Collins. The unicorn eats Collins' forage and then begins to eat the other girl's forage, and the little Ravenclaw wizard strokes the unicorn's hair after feeding it.
George also blended in with the girls, and cheekily squeezed to the front, trying to get the unicorn to eat his forage.
But the unicorn ignored him, turned to Angelina, and ate the hay in her hand, which made everyone laugh at George.
Only Fred comforted George and said, "Don't be discouraged, I know a transsexual potion that you can get close to a unicorn by drinking it." ”
Calvin saw that the unicorn had almost eaten, so he asked the students back to their seats, and asked with a smile, "I believe that half of the students in the classroom have come into contact with the unicorn, a docile magical animal, what is your initial impression of it?" ”
"It's feminine over male." George Weasley replied angrily.
"Correct!" Calvin laughed and said, "Gryffindor adds two points, thanks to this Mr. Weasley for his example." ”
"The unicorn is a docile and pure magical animal that can tell the difference between good and bad people. In general, they prefer to approach simple-minded women. I suggest you write it down, Mr. Davis, and stop making strange gestures to attract unicorns, which are also females. ”
