A Hogwarts dissertation guide

"I, Edward Lumboe, am currently serving as the thesis supervisor for this course." Edward waved his fingers and outlined his name in the air. "I think everyone should be familiar with it. I believe most people have heard of my name before enrolling in school."

After a brief conversation, he asked the first question.

"Does anyone understand the purpose of this course?"

Swish!

Hermione raised her hands subconsciously, but before she could react, her body had already moved on its own.

"Your name, miss." Edward nodded to her.

"Hermione Granger," Hermione opened her mouth, "I think maybe this course teaches us how to write a paper and helps us better complete the assignments assigned by the professors."

"Well, it's not bad." Edward nodded, and then he began to quote classics and introduce famous writers in the history of magic, from Kenilworth Whisp to Leonardo da Vinci, from the poet to Peter the Great. Bean to Bathilda Bagshot.He pushed forward quickly, these things were not important, at least he didn't think they were.

Little wizards can’t remember it anyway.

"You just need to remember one thing. My course can definitely help you not only to complete the professor's homework better, but also to cultivate your logical thinking ability. You must know that many wizards have poor logical reasoning. He suffered a loss due to his ability.”

Seeing the little wizard talking in the audience, Edward nodded with satisfaction.

"But Professor, why do only first-year students need to study?" A Ravenclaw girl raised her hand and asked.

Edward looked at her, "There are two main reasons."

"The first reason may be that Dumbledore believes that they have mastered the minimum logical thinking ability. Of course, I believe this is because they have been tested by professors, but I have to admit that they must have consumed a lot of energy in the process. I spent quite a lot of time on it, and I think that’s probably why Dumbledore put me in charge of this course.”

"But I believe that this is definitely not a good experience for the professors."

The professors who came to watch all showed dissatisfied smiles, as if Edward had revealed something they had been hiding.

On the other hand, the little wizards seemed to understand what they heard. They felt that their papers were quite good, but they often had a headache within the remaining one foot or so, and would be forced to squeeze in some content, and this was obviously Professors knew very well that even a cold professor like Snape couldn't admit it - correcting the little wizard's nonsense articles gave him a headache.

"But I won't ask each of you to have excellent literary talent. I just hope that after my class, you can at least write a clear and transparent article to make the professors less troubled. This is what I can do That’s all. After all, this is the task Dumbledore gave me.”

The young wizards were a little speechless, this was very powerful.

"However, I personally think..." Edward said, "The best among you may be able to get a chance to continue your studies. As long as you want to work in the wizarding world, this will undoubtedly be helpful."

"Are you going to teach us to become great writers like you?" asked a young Ravenclaw wizard.

Edward shook his head, "No, I'm just teaching you how to write. As for how to become a successful writer, most of it depends on your experience."

"Know that not everyone can be Gilderoy Lockhart."

Lockhart showed his big white teeth and his trademark smile, seeming to agree with Edward's words.

It's funny to say that Lockhart, who looks like a middle-aged man, respects the young Edward Lumpo as his mentor.

"Okay, this is the end of the theoretical part. As the first lesson," Edward glanced at Lockhart lightly, "I won't talk too much. I need time to figure out your level. So, start writing now. Come on, make up your own topic, make it three feet long, and give it to me before class."

"No!"

"devil!"

......

However, apart from the students, the professors were actually quite satisfied with Edward's content of the course, and they left with peace of mind when the class was halfway through - it seemed that the students would not start fighting.

Apart from Professor Flitwick, he was quite interested in Edward's lessons.

"To complete an excellent thesis, the first step is to choose the main topic of the paper. Topic selection is to determine the direction of specialization and clarify the main problems to be solved. It is best to combine personal interests and practical situations when choosing a topic. Pay attention to these aspects when choosing a topic: Urgent solution , cutting-edge position, expected ideal effect, feasibility, moderate scope, looking for blank spots and weak links, possessing sufficient information, and giving full play to one's own strengths..."

Edward's voice reached the ears of the students, because he found that most of the students were scratching their heads and not knowing what to write, and only a few people started to write, so Edward gave a reminder.

"Completing a paper requires the following steps. After deciding on the topic, you need to make a preliminary idea, draw up an outline, make preparations, and collect information. However, since we do not have much time in class, this part can be omitted. . You can write an essay about your feelings of studying in Hogwarts. I think three feet is not a lot..."

At least that's what Edward thought, but until the bell rang, only two students had completed the three-foot-long paper.

"Miss Hermione Granger and Mr. Harry Potter are very good." Edward took the papers from the two of them. "Unfortunately, I can only receive these two papers for this class, so those students who have not finished Just treat this as weekend homework. I hope to see your homework on my desk next Monday. Each college will elect a person in charge and send it to my office."

"So, professor, where is your office?" Hermione asked, raising her hand. She seemed very positive. Although the thesis guidance course did not look magical at all, it did not prevent her from thinking that the existence of this course was necessary.

"Principal's Office, just take it to the Principal's Office. Albus will sort it out for me."

All the little wizards looked at each other, principal's office?It sounds like the relationship between Edward Lumpo and Principal Dumbledore is unusual...

"Okay, our class is over." Edward clapped his hands and prepared to get off the high platform, but he was stopped by someone.

"Professor Rumple, we all know you are a famous writer, can you show us your skills?" It was Harry's voice, "We want to see your -"

Edward interrupted Harry, "This is not the scope of my class, but in view of the bad behavior in the last class, maybe it is necessary for me to show my hand." But he still agreed to Harry's request.

"Well, let's get started. Professor Flitwick, could you help me?"
