"Philius, am I wrong?" McGonagall looked at the diminutive Head of Ravenclaw in disbelief, and she felt that there was nothing wrong with what she had said.

Flitwick said in his shrill voice, "Of course, Minerva, it's not just you, many people have a big misunderstanding of the Patronus Charm. ”

"You should know that I have goblin blood," Flitwick said, "and my grandfather left me some books on goblins, which said that all wizards have patronus spirits and can cast patronus charms. There is no such thing as a term that only righteous wizards can use. ”

Professor McGonagall was skeptical, "Really? But I've never heard of a dark wizard who can cast a Patronus Charm. ”

"It's rare, but that doesn't mean it's none." Flitwick continued, "It's a good idea to recall the happiest memories when using the Patronus Charm. But this was not the case with previous wizards, who tended to speak their strongest desires in their hearts. ”

"In this way, the Greek sorcerer Andros of the classical period summoned a guardian deity the size of a giant."

It was the first time Professor McGonagall had heard of such a statement, and she resisted the urge to pull out her wand for experiments.

"Of course, this method is undoubtedly more difficult, and even for me, I try my best to recall the happiest memories."

Calvin was intrigued by Professor Flitwick's statement and agreed with him. Indeed, he had seen a powerful dark wizard summon his Patronus in Eastern Europe.

"So, Professor Flitwick," Calvin thought the elves might have more to say about the Patronus Charm, "Are there any other accounts of the Patronus Charm in the books your grandfather left behind?" ”

Professor Flitwick took a glass of milk, "No, the Patronus Charm itself is very esoteric magic, and not many people know it. And it's arguably the most mysterious magic of a human wizard. It is closely related to the soul. ”

"Okay." Calvin did not receive a satisfactory answer, so he had to continue eating.

After breakfast, Calvin grabbed the departing Vice Chancellor, "Professor McGonagall, I have something to discuss with you. ”

Professor McGonagall lowered her head and asked through her square glasses, "Professor Capet, what's the matter?" ”

"That's right, Professor McGonagall. I want to build a club. Calvin said slowly.

"Club? Do Fantastic Beasts Protection Classes need clubs too? Professor McGonagall said that she remembered that the previous professor, Kettleburn, had never set up his own club.

"Professor McGonagall!" Calvin was slightly displeased, "The research on magical beasts has been developing rapidly over the years, and its theoretical depth and complexity are no less than those of the magic text. ”

The stern lady carefully recalled Calvin's writings on Fantastic Beasts, and then sincerely apologized, "Sorry, Professor Capet, I think you're right, Fantastic Animals is indeed very different from when I was in school. You have played a huge role in advancing the discipline. ”

"But it's too late to set up a club, because the school year is coming to an end soon. I recommend saving it until the beginning of the next semester. ”

"Yes, Professor McGonagall, that's exactly what I thought, I'll set it up next semester." Calvin scratched his head, "But my club is a bit special, and I don't want your Transfiguration club to simply expand the knowledge of some magical beasts." ”

"My club is probably more akin to Professor Slughorn's Slug Club. I want to use this club to experiment with some new teaching methods. So I wanted to tell you about it in advance. ”

"The new teaching method," Professor McGonagall repeated emphatically, "can you tell us a little bit about it?" ”

"No problem, look at this." Calvin took out a stack of parchment from his sleeve, this is a paper, Calvin has read some of Royina's conjectures about the future development of magic, and added some of his own ideas to integrate this paper.

Professor McGonagall skimmed the paper and was shocked, "Calvin, did you write this paper?" I see that you didn't write about it in the first author's space. ”

Calvin was naturally embarrassed to take ownership of the paper, but he was also reluctant to reveal the existence of Royina, so he had to say vaguely, "No, this paper is mainly the idea of an old friend of mine. ”

Professor McGonagall naturally assumed that Calvin's "old friend" was Nicol Lemay, after all, she couldn't think of another wizard who was so familiar with history and at the same time eager for the future.

"If you want me to say, Calvin, this paper, this paper, it's very subversive. Especially when it comes to magical education. However, according to the plan in the thesis, I am afraid that the seven years of Hogwarts are not enough. ”

Professor McGonagall reopened the paper, "The interconnectedness of the different magical disciplines, the possibility of combining magic and Muggle technology. ”

Professor McGonagall was of mixed blood, her father was a priest in the Muggle world, and she had some knowledge of Muggle technology, though most of it was decades old.

"This paper almost reveals where the development of magic and magical education will be headed in the next millennium. It should be published in the Daily Prophet, no, you should read the article at the International Congress of Wizards. ”

It is clear that Professor McGonagall has a high opinion of this paper.

"It's not time yet, Professor McGonagall," Calvin silently retrieved the parchment, "one step ahead is a genius, two steps ahead is a madman." ”

"So it's better to have a small-scale trial first, through the club model."

Professor McGonagall nodded noncommittally, "So, what do you want to experiment with this club?" ”

"That's it," Calvin flipped through the parchment, "the connections between the magical disciplines and the possibility of joint teaching." ”

"I'd like to start experimenting with Fantastic Beasts and Ancient Magical Texts. Neither of these subjects is particularly popular in the academic world. Especially the ancient magic script, the old men who studied translation almost turned it into a dead subject. ”

"That's fine," Professor McGonagall readily agreed to Calvin's request, "do you need me to help you contact Professor Babling?" ”

"No need," Calvin smiled gently, "I'll tell her myself." I think she'll agree. ”

"That's it," Professor McGonagall said with a rare smile on her face, "By the way, has Professor Dumbledore read this paper?" ”

The smile on Calvin's face instantly retracted, but soon bloomed again, "Not yet, you're its first reader." However, I think Headmaster Dumbledore should also recognize the value of this paper. ”
