Head of Teaching at Hogwarts

After seeing Hermione off, Russell also accepted the reports from Percy and Cedric after dinner.

Cedric's promotion of the Levitation Spell has changed from a fixed object to one that can be used on multiple objects at the same time, expanding its scope of action.

This was a pretty good promotion. Russell added 20 points to him, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.

And Percy brilliantly came up with a classic wrong way to use the levitation spell.

This incorrect usage comes from the after-school reading section of the first-year Hogwarts Charms textbook "Standard Spells, Elementary", which is used to warn young wizards of the consequences of spelling the wrong spell.

The incantation of the levitating spell is "Yingardim Leviosa". When the wizard Baruffio once used the levitating spell, he said the 'f' in the spell into an 's'. As a result, he lay on the floor with his chest There was also a bison standing on it.

Percy started from this classic error case, combined it with the "Flock of Birds" spell that he was very good at using to summon birds to attack the enemy, and invented a new spell "Bison Crash".

The effect is that after use, an angry bison can be summoned to rush towards the enemy to attack.

Of course, this is an ideal situation. Currently, Percy cannot make the bison only attack the user's enemies, so he summons a bison and attacks both the enemy and ourselves randomly.

Russell suggested that when Percy continues to study this spell, he can refer to a more common attack spell "Oolong".

It is said that the Oolong comes out of the cave as a curse from a group of snake keepers in ancient India. Of course, some people say that Slytherin, one of the four founders of Hogwarts, invented this curse.

The specific effect is to summon a black giant snake from the tip of the wand to attack the enemy.

Unlike flocks of birds, the giant snakes summoned by this spell are controllable, except of course when encountering Parseltongues.

However, if it is changed to "Buffalo Crash", this problem should not occur. After all, Russell has never heard of the existence of "Bulltongue" in the wizarding world, but Russell still told Percy in a responsible manner. This possible weakness.

In the end, Russell added 40 points to Percy.

To be honest, Cedric and Percy's homework was equally good, especially Percy's research which was definitely not worse than Hermione's research in terms of depth and difficulty.

But perhaps because they were born into a wizarding family, they seemed to have an instinctive distrust and rejection of the application of Newton's three laws in magic proposed by the Muggle scientists mentioned by Russell.

Russell had previously felt that Percy Weasley's father, Arthur Weasley, had always been interested in various Muggle items, and felt that Percy might be receptive to various Muggle sciences.

It seems that this is not the case now. Percy may not be very fond of Muggle science, which is his father's hobby.

This is undoubtedly contrary to Russell's ideas. He has been under the Chinese education system for more than 30 years since he was a child. When he was studying magic, his mind was filled with various research methods from the Muggle world.

Including but not limited to hypothesis deduction, analogical reasoning, and controlled experiments.

In Russell's view, although the magic of wizards is two completely different things from the science learned in previous lives, there is no doubt that the research methods can be applied.

Of course, there is no doubt that Cedric, Percy and Hermione are all appropriate as their own study committee members.

But Russell undoubtedly had higher expectations for Hermione, who also received basic science education. In Russell's view, Hermione could be trained as his assistant.

How important is a competent assistant to your work?

Just look at Professor McGonagall, the Vice-Headmaster of Hogwarts, and Dumbledore, the former Headmaster.

Vice-principal Professor McGonagall was extremely busy every day, while Dumbledore was fishing in the office every day, and even had a lot of time to play with Harry and the other children.

As long as Hermione is trained and has such an outstanding assistant, Russell feels that he can reduce 90% of his work.

Moreover, Russell also has the golden finger of "study hard and make progress every day", allowing Hermione, a person with strong learning ability, to serve as his assistant, and he can also completely leave it to Hermione to learn when he encounters new knowledge. .

Well, it was decided.

......

In the Gryffindor lounge, Hermione walked up to Harry and Ron in a daze. She felt extremely happy. The last time she was so happy was because she learned that Lockhart was coming to Hogwarts to serve as the Dark Knight. Professor of Defense Against Magic.

Of course, it’s okay not to mention this matter.

Harry, who was playing wizard chess with Ron, saw Hermione walking in and happily pushed away the chessboard, "Hermione, how's it going?"

"Hey, Harry, I'll win right away!" Ron was very dissatisfied with Harry's act of cheating at first sight.

However, neither Harry nor Ron are in the mood to play chess now. Although they are not interested in becoming Russell's study committee, they hope that Hermione will become Russell's assistant and study better in Wizard Canyon ( game) is very concerned.

Many young Gryffindor wizards also joined in. The attraction of the glory of the Wizards' Union made these little lions pay attention to all the happenings of Russell, the maverick new principal.

"I succeeded." Hermione took a breath before saying.

"Well done!" Harry and Ron cheered in unison, but their purpose was revealed the next second, "Did Professor Russell say anything related to the glory of the Wizards' Union?"

"No." Hermione's words disappointed many of the young wizards who came over. Fortunately, Hermione thought about it and continued: "But I saw Professor Russell seeming to be studying the layout of Wizard Canyon.

I noticed that there was a thumbnail map of the Wizard's Canyon interface on the wall behind the principal's office, and it seemed that I could see the names and locations of the wizards on both sides of the battle. "

"Yo hoo!"

"Wuhu!"

"Wow even!"

Many young wizards cheered because of this new information about Wizard's Canyon. However, the Weasley twins, who usually loved to join in the fun, held the same parchment in the corner. Not only did they not come to join in the fun, but they showed a bit of disappointment in their eyes.

Amidst the cheers, Professor McGonagall silently appeared behind the little wizards, just like the head teacher who suddenly appeared at the back door during self-study class. He pursed his lips and said nothing, as if he was wondering how many buckles should be given to these noisy little lions. point.

"I don't recommend that you discuss games too much in the lounge." Professor McGonagall still did not directly deduct points, but chose to give a warning. After all, she is the Head of Gryffindor and does not want the academy to be separated from Gryffindor. Become less Gram points.

"Professor McGonagall, this is not a game. Professor Russell said this is called a special teaching operation." One of the twins said, and he didn't know whether it was George or Fred.

Mag glared at him. She had always been a little dissatisfied with Russell's various nonsense after he came to power, but she couldn't say too much due to Russell's status as principal. Now there was a little wizard who dared to act wild in front of her.

If I can't cure the principal, can't I cure you?Professor McGonagall was about to speak and deduct points.

The other twin immediately realized something was wrong and explained: "Professor McGonagall, we are celebrating Hermione becoming Professor Russell's study committee member."

Study members?Professor McGonagall quickly recalled the incident.
