Chapter 150: The Impact of Baptism
On Monday night, all the professors had an emergency meeting.
Because, they found that in today's classroom, the children are particularly efficient in learning.
Whether it is the comprehension and memorization of the theory, or the actual operation, it is beyond the usual level.
The preliminary assertion is the effect of baptism.
They also feel that their minds are much more flexible than usual, and their magic is more handy.
Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout can even carry magic in their bodies at will, and the magic will go wherever their minds go.
The spell was in Professor Flitwick's hands, and more tricks were played.
Therefore, they decided to lay a good foundation for the children and teach the complex content without affecting the teaching progress.
It's a pain for those who didn't participate in the baptism.
But it's also impossible for schools to abandon most of their students just for their sake.
So, the professors gave them some preferential treatment in terms of homework, and they could do less homework, but they couldn't do it without it.
However, compared to other students, the gap has widened.
Some people who are unwilling to do this, like the baptized students, work hard to do their homework.
Charms class for 1st grade.
Professor Flitwick spent only one class reviewing all the spells they had learned, both theoretically and practically.
In the next class, he taught all the spells that he hadn't taught this semester, from theory to practice, everything was the same as before, just pressed the fast-forward button.
The students also lived up to the expectations of the professors, failing one to five times, and basically succeeding.
After success, it is a matter of constant practice, and Professor Flitwick will supervise them one by one to make sure that they develop the correct habit of casting spells.
But Ralph and William, he doesn't care, let them play.
Potions lesson.
According to Professor Sgrahorn, baptismal children are better suited to the study of difficult potions.
Professor Sgrahorn took a moment to figure out the most difficult potions that could be understood given the current knowledge of potions in each grade.
Unlike Professor Flitwick, in class, he only spent half a class reviewing.
Because it takes time to make potions, I simply don't practice in class and remember what the theory is saying.
In the second half of the first lesson, Professor Sgrahorn explained the theory of difficult potions to the students and took questions from the children.
After the children have finished asking questions, it is time for him to ask questions.
That's right, Professor Sgrahorn also used the time to help the children review the main points of this difficult potion.
However, the focus of the question is on the operational side rather than the Potions theory.
After all, potions are a hands-on discipline, and perhaps there is the issue of the consumption of raw materials.
Despite the support of the Forbidden Forest, not all potions materials from the Forbidden Forest are produced, and many potions still need to be purchased from the outside world by Hogwarts.
Then, in the next lesson, Professor Sgrahorn repeated the operation and highlighted the key steps.
The rest of the time was spent on the students making potions.
After class, the students' classwork exceeded his expectations.
….
All the groups, from Year 1 to Year 7, completed their respective potions.
Although there were some uneven levels of quality, it was enough to shock Professor Sgrahorn.
He believes that the effect of baptism must not be left for a long time, otherwise it will be too rebellious.
Herbal medicine class.
Professor Sprout found that the baptismal children were not only much more attentive, but also bolder.
The girls are also willing to repot the plants, no longer caring about whether they will get dirty.
At the same time, their movements are more gentle, and they are very careful about proportion.
With the help of baptism, they reconcile with themselves
However, it is more contiguous and can sense the state of the plants in a simulated way, and the magic plants are more willing to cooperate with them.
In short, the children's hands-on ability is much stronger.
Transfiguration class is still Dumbledore's world.
He stood on the podium, looked at the children below, winked at them, and said:
"There will be some changes to our curriculum, which I won't go into into detail with you. Your task is to study, so leave the hair loss to our team of teachers."
He waved his wand, and the Transfiguration classroom immediately became empty.
The children were moved to the sides and to the wall opposite the podium, just like Ralph had in their first Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson.
Several large cabinets appeared in the middle of the classroom, and their task was to make them smaller and smaller so that their shape could not be changed.
Arriving in the middle of the classroom, Dumbledore waved his wand, and the theoretical focus and spell-casting details of today's Transfiguration class appeared in the center of the classroom.

There's a reason, you know, Professor Dumbledore doesn't like to drag his feet. Have faith in yourselves......
It is estimated that he is used to being the leader of the group, and Claude began to comfort them when he saw that they were nervous.
Under the comfort of Claude's continuous voice, their tension did disappear a lot, and their bodies no longer trembled, and slowly calmed down.
In the end, Ralph and the others completed their class assignments for the day.
Although Barty Jr.'s roommates were the slowest of them, they were also praised by Dumbledore, which made them happy.
At the same time, I am even more grateful to Claude for his previous comfort, as well as for the guidance of others.
Subsequently, it began to be the turn of the other students.
It turns out that the smile does not disappear, it only shifts.
The people who laughed at others before were even more unbearable than them when they came on stage, and they were so shaky that they could add a dustpan to their bodies.
Barty's roommates watched it and heard the laughter coming from around them, and they couldn't help but laugh a few times.
But they soon sensed that something was wrong, because neither Ralph nor Barty Jr. laughed at them.
Instead, he set his eyes on the trembling children.
"It's a kind of respect, whoever dares to step on that stage deserves to be respected, no matter how well he performs."
Daniel, who was sitting on the sidelines, noticed their gaze and explained to them.
Then he touched his head embarrassedly and told them that this was what William had told them.
It's hard to imagine that William, who has a detached temperament, has such a mental awareness.
Like Barty Jr., Ralph and the others all looked surprised when they heard William's words.
Afterwards, William also told them that it was something he had personally experienced, so he was impressed.
That time, when he was young, he went to the theater with his grandparents.
The theater was training newcomers at the time, and while it was not a large-scale performance, the newcomers were put on the stage.
As with the development of the story, the newcomer inevitably made a mistake, causing the audience to laugh, including William.
….
William, who was still young, didn't notice that his parents, grandparents were not smiling, but looked seriously at the rookie actors who were working hard to perform.
In the end, the rookie actor still completed the performance.
William's grandmother was the first to take the lead in applauding, and the applause grew more and more intense, and it took a long time for it to subside.
The rookie actors kept bowing on stage to thank them.
After the performance, the crew stopped their family, and the newcomer actors thanked them in person.
He also bluntly said that it was their gaze that made him ignite his confidence and give up the idea of ending.
After that, if they had any performances, they would notify William's family or give them a few tickets, but they were not very big performances.
So far, the two sides have formed a deep friendship.
On the way back, William said that the man was good, and complained about how he could let a newcomer come to the stage.
When he got home, he attracted his grandmother's serious and almost cold expression.
He knelt straight on the mat for an hour, his throat was hoarse, and although his family couldn't bear it, none of them pleaded.
In the end, it was still his grandmother who picked him up, and although he hated his grandmother at the time, he still pulled the thread and shrunk in her arms, listening to his grandmother talk about the truth.
However, William and his grandmother now have a good relationship.
Listening to Daniel's words, Barty Jr.'s roommates restrained their smiles and looked at their classmates in the center of the room encouragingly.
Slytherin Bedroom.
"Merlin! Merlin!"
As soon as he returned to the dormitory, one of Barty's roommates began to sigh incessantly.
"What are you doing?"
One of the roommates asked.
"Ralph! You're not impressed?"
The roommate said to them with a serious face.
"Ralph, didn't we just finish eating together? What's wrong?"
One of his roommates lying in bed said he had given up thinking for a while.
"Don't you think he's a good fit to be a teacher?"
As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at him, thought for a moment, and then nodded.
Indeed, when Ralph finished his class assignments, he was idle.
Immediately afterward, he observed everyone's operations for a while.
One-on-one pointed out their shortcomings, both in terms of spells, gestures, and even wills.
William: They didn't feel anything else, just follow what Ralph said.
Little Barty, they are a little uncomfortable, no one likes to be pointed at.
But, soon, they had to say that it was really fragrant.
Because with each point, Ralph pointed out what they needed to improve the most.
According to Ralph, there will be visible progress every time, and this is what makes them the happiest.
It's the same with Barty Jr.
At first, he thought it was Ralph trying to present himself in front of Professor Dumbledore.
But then, it can only be said that Ralph is still too cold.
He also wanted Ralph to make it clear, what does it mean to "make your will a little stronger"?
Unfortunately, he was too embarrassed to ask.
As the conversation deepened, Ralph was almost deified by them.
Later, Barty Jr. also told Ralph that his three roommates had become Ralph's little fans.
They also joked that if there was an autograph of Ralph, they would be extremely excited.
A busy week passed, and although schoolwork gradually decreased, the children got used to it.
There were more children who took the initiative to go to the library to study on their own, which made Mrs. Pince not very happy, because there were more people making noise in the library.
In the same way, there are more people who do not cherish books.
The professors also came to a conclusion.
The effect of baptism can last for about two weeks.
The initial difficulty will be maintained for the previous week, and the students will still be able to accept it; The next week will need to be a little more difficult.
Dumbledore also discovered that in the past two weeks, Hogwarts had absorbed more magic than it had absorbed in the previous six months.
It's all the magic that overflows from the children, and a lot of it is the power of baptism.
After all, wizards and magical beasts can't generalize about their physiques, and magical beasts can lock these powers in their bodies until they are completely absorbed, while wizards can't do that.
