From Beauxbatons to Hogwarts

"Filius, did I say anything wrong?" McGonagall looked at the short Ravenclaw headmaster in disbelief. She felt that there was nothing wrong with what she said.

Flitwick said in his high-pitched voice, "Of course, Minerva, in fact it's not just you, many people have big misunderstandings about the Patronus Charm."

"You should know that I have goblin blood," Flitwick said. "My grandfather left me some goblin books, which said that all wizards have a patronus and can cast a patronus spell. No. There is a saying that only a righteous wizard can use."

Professor McGonagall was dubious about this statement, "Really? But I have never heard of a dark wizard who can cast the Patronus Charm."

"It's rare, but that doesn't mean it's non-existent." Flitwick continued, "It's indeed a good way to recall the happiest memories when using the Patronus Charm. But wizards in the past didn't do this. They often told themselves in their hearts The strongest desire.”

"The Greek wizard Andros in the classical period used this method to summon a patron saint the size of a giant."

This was the first time Professor McGonagall had heard this statement, and she resisted the urge to take out her wand and experiment.

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

Calvin was very interested in Professor Flitwick's statement and agreed with him.Indeed, he had seen a powerful dark wizard summon his own patronus in Eastern Europe.

"So, Professor Flitwick," Calvin felt that the goblins might have more records about the Patronus Charm. "Are there any other records about the Patronus Charm in the books left by your grandfather?"

Professor Flitwick drank a glass of milk, "No, the Patronus Charm itself is a very profound magic, and not many people know it. And it can be regarded as the most mysterious magic among human wizards. It is closely related to the soul."

"Okay." Calvin didn't get a satisfactory answer and had to continue eating.

After breakfast, Calvin grabbed the vice-principal who was about to leave and said, "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 it, Professor McGonagall. I want to establish a club." Calvin said slowly.

"Club? Does the Care of Magical Creatures class also need a club?" Professor McGonagall said. In her impression, the previous professor Kettleburn had never established a club of his own.

"Professor McGonagall!" Calvin was slightly displeased, "Research on magical animals has been developing rapidly in recent years, and its theoretical depth and complexity are no less than magic texts."

The stern woman carefully recalled Calvin's works on magical beasts, and then apologized sincerely, "Sorry, Professor Capet, I think you are right, magical beasts are indeed very different from when I was in school. You have played a huge role in advancing this discipline.”

"But it's a little late to establish a club now. After all, this school year will end soon. I suggest leaving it until the beginning of next semester."

"Yes, Professor McGonagall, I do think so. We will establish it next semester." Calvin scratched his head, "But my club is a bit special. I don't want your Transfiguration Club to simply expand some magical animals." knowledge."

"My club may be more similar to Professor Slughorn's Slug Club. I want to use this club to try out some new teaching methods. So I want to tell you in advance."

"The new teaching method," Professor McGonagall repeated these words emphatically, "can you briefly introduce it?"

"No problem, take a look at this." Calvin took out a stack of parchment from his sleeve. This was a paper. After reading some of Rowena's conjectures about the future development of magic, Calvin added some of his own ideas, integrated into this paper.

Professor McGonagall quickly glanced at the paper and was immediately shocked. "Calvin, did you write this paper? I see that you left the first author blank."

Calvin was naturally embarrassed to take ownership of this paper, but he was also unwilling to disclose Rowena's existence, so he could only say vaguely, "No, this paper is mainly the idea of ​​an old friend of mine."

Professor McGonagall naturally thought that the "old friend" Calvin was talking about was Nicolas Flamel. After all, she couldn't think of another wizard who was so familiar with history and at the same time yearned for the future.

"Let me say, Calvin, this paper, this paper, is very subversive. Especially in terms of magic education. But according to the plan in the paper, I am afraid that seven years at Hogwarts is not enough."

Professor McGonagall re-read the paper, "The interconnections between different magical disciplines, and the possibility of combining magic with Muggle technology."

Professor McGonagall is of mixed-race origin. Her father is a priest in the Muggle world. She also has some knowledge of Muggle technology, but most of it is from Muggle technology decades ago.

"This paper almost reveals the direction of magical development and magical education in the next millennium. It should be published in the Daily Prophet, no, you should read this article at the International Federation of Wizards."

It can be seen that Professor McGonagall admires this paper very much.

"It's not time yet, Professor McGonagall," Calvin silently took back the parchment, "One step ahead of the times is a genius, two steps ahead is a madman."

"So it's better to conduct small-scale experiments first, through the club model."

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

"That's it," Calvin opened the parchment, "the connection between magical disciplines and the possibility of joint teaching."

"I want to start experimenting with magical animals and ancient magic texts. These two subjects are not particularly popular in the academic world. Especially ancient magic texts, the old guys who study translation have almost turned it into a dead subject. .”

"That's no problem," Professor McGonagall readily agreed to Calvin's request, "Do you need me to help you contact Professor Bablin?"

"No need," Calvin smiled gently, "I will tell her personally. I think she will agree."

"Then it's settled," Professor McGonagall also showed a rare smile, "By the way, has Professor Dumbledore read this paper?"

The smile on Calvin's face instantly faded, but soon bloomed again, "Not yet, you are its first reader. But I think President Dumbledore should also realize the value of this paper."
