International students at Hogwarts

Chapter 248 The Third Teacher
Why are there three?Lu Ren was a little curious. He remembered that only the teachers of Protection of Magical Beasts and Defense Against the Dark Arts had changed this year.So he listened carefully to Dumbledore's introduction.

"First of all, Professor Lupine, who volunteered to be this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor!"

Lu Ren wanted to complain.This sentence itself is a big problem!What is voluntary becoming, and why is there an attributive term of one year?So in Dumbledore's subconscious mind, the lifespan of each Dark Magic Defense professor is only one year?

Apparently, Lu Ren was not the only one who was smart. Many young wizards also recognized the subtle meaning of this sentence. Lu Ping himself understood everything immediately based on what he had heard on the train.

His complexion also became very subtle.One is because other teachers are wearing their best robes, and Professor Lupine is "in the middle of the robes and clothes", which makes him look even more downcast. How could a capable wizard be so downcast?The second is that Dumbledore's words are eccentric, and it always makes people feel that he is not recruiting a professor, but a sacrifice, and how can a capable wizard be willing to become a sacrifice?

There was silence in the auditorium.

Eventually, there was a few lukewarm, sparse applause in the Great Hall, but after a while, the applause grew louder, especially from the Gryffindor cubs.

Because the little wizards figured it out, at least this professor is very courageous!Dare to accept this kind of order, just like daring to marry a widow whose previous husbands all died unexpectedly.

Professor Lupine's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, and finally he forced a smile, waved to the students and sat back in his seat.

Many young wizards also noticed that Snape's complexion was also very subtle, his withered and thin face almost twitched, his expression could not be called anger, it should be called hatred.This was Snape's expression every time he laid his eyes on Harry.

After Dumbledore waited for the applause to welcome Professor Lupine to calm down, he continued: "Before announcing the identity of the second professor, I regret to tell you that our original Protection of Magical Beasts teacher, Professor Kettleburn, has retired. No one else will fill his place but our gamekeeper, Rubeus Hagrid, who has agreed to take up the teaching position."

It was obvious that everyone was surprised, after all, Hagrid was just a student who was expelled halfway!He couldn't even use a wand before last year—of course, after Lu Ren defeated Voldemort's conspiracy last year, the Ministry of Magic also rehabilitated Hagrid. Fudge, who was still the Minister of Magic at the time, came to apologize in person and gave Hagrid a gift a wand.

The next day's Daily Prophet reported the story with the headline "Justice May Be Late, But Never Absent."Two days later, the French newspaper Le Monde followed suit and reported the incident with the same title, but the French added a subtitle: "The teacher once said that three times being late counts as one absence from work".

However, Hagrid, who has a specialization in science and is talented in animal friendship, is actually very suitable for this teaching position. It can be said: Hogwarts, no one understands magical animals better than him.

But although they were shocked, this did not prevent them from applauding vigorously. It was obvious that most of the little wizards were very excited.Hagrid's face was flushed red, and his thick black beard covered his expression, but anyone who knew him well knew that he must be smiling happily at this moment.He didn't make any congratulatory gestures, just lowered his eyes, looking at his big hands.And Professor Kettleburn mentioned by Dumbledore is also a legend.

He was a graduate of Hogwarts Hufflepuff House - a house that always produced some fantastic beast talents, and Kettleburn's sloppy and reckless behavior caused him to have a relationship with then-headmaster Armando Dippet I've always been tense.In a sense, this guy is also a problem professor, because he has been on at least 62 times of probation while teaching at the school!unprecedented.

By the time Dumbledore succeeded Dippet as the new headmaster, Professor Kettleburn had become much more stable.However, there is a high probability that his limbs are only one arm and half a leg left.Despite being disabled like this, he still visits the Dragon Sanctuary in his free time.What a hunk!
"Also, I'm announcing that this year's Hogwarts curriculum will be changed. Muggle Studies will become a compulsory course for fifth grade students. For lower grade students, Muggle Studies will become compulsory next year. I have Professor Valery from the North. He will teach this course with Professor Caredy Bubbaji." After the last little wizard stopped applauding, Professor Dumbledore spoke again, this time He made a shocking news directly.

This was much more shocking than the fact that Hagrid took over the Care of Magical Creatures class, because it was an elective course, but this time there was an extra compulsory course!The fifth grade students were even more shocked. This news meant that they had to prepare an extra class for OWL!It's as scary as telling a student preparing for the senior high school entrance examination that he needs to take an extra class.

The OWL exam, also known as the Ordinary Wizarding Level Examination, is a branch exam that students in the fifth grade of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry need to take. It is administered by the Wizarding Examinations Authority.The marks a student achieves in a particular OWL exam subject will determine whether he or she will be able to continue studying this subject in the following year, which is so important because the first five years are equivalent to "compulsory education", really If you want to find a job, you have to look at the NEWT certificate obtained in the seventh grade.You didn't even take the class, how did you go for the examination?

For example, if a certain position requires NEWT E or above in Potions, but you failed OWL, Professor Snape won't let you take the class, so you take the exam for this certificate?Naturally, you are out of luck for this position.

In the past, "only" ten subjects were required, Charms, Transfiguration, Herbalism, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Ancient Runes, Potions, Protection of Fantastic Beasts, Astronomy, Divination and History of Magic.

No Muggle studies in it.

There is now.

It is impossible not to participate in the OWL exam for a compulsory course.

This feeling is as frightening as the art test in the high school entrance examination.

There was an uproar in the audience, and Dumbledore had no choice but to knock the wine glass with a spoon to silence everyone, and then an extremely burly man sitting on the edge of the long table stood up.It wasn't obvious when he was sitting, but when he stood up, everyone realized: This guy is really tall!

Professor Valery was at least two meters tall, and the Hogwarts goblet looked like a bottle cap in his hand.His wine glass was filled with a dark brown liquid, and as he moved, the liquid kept shaking.
