A day of learning magic at Hogwarts

Facing the curious eyes from all directions, Harry Potter tried hard to show that he didn't care much.

But in fact, Mr. Porter's performance level is really not a high point.

Various details showed that he was quite at a loss at this time.

In the boring Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Ian listened to Professor Quirrell's dry voice while secretly observing the future protagonist.

If we really want to evaluate him, he still doesn't look like a protagonist at all.

Maybe he is still waiting for an opportunity to grow... Ian thought secretly.

Maybe the so-called growth is related to Professor Quirrell in front of him?

Ian looked at the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor on the podium again, wrapped in a thick purple scarf; even though he was so far away, he could clearly smell the smell of garlic coming from there.

Maybe the vampire Professor Quirrell encountered in Romania will come knocking one day; not even the garlic he hid in his scarf can protect him.

At this moment, the awakened protagonist Harry Potter stepped forward and defeated the vampire; from then on, Professor Quirrell no longer had to wear the garlic scarf and could expose the back of his head.

Ian just started to think endlessly.

A few 10 minutes later—

The boring Defense Against the Dark Arts class is finally over.

Professor Quirrell left the classroom in a hurry.And Harry Potter and the red-haired, follower-like friend beside him also left quickly.

Ian originally had many questions related to Defense Against the Dark Arts and wanted to ask the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

But seeing Professor Quirinus Quirrell's distracted look and his teaching skills in the class just now... Ian finally gave up his plan.

……

The first day of class ended like this.

The teaching quality at Hogwarts can be said to be uneven overall.

As far as Ian Traister’s personal feelings are concerned——

Transfiguration and Charms were pretty good in all aspects, while Potions and Defense Against the Dark Arts were worse.

The other courses are actually pretty much the same.

For example, the Herbology class led by Professor Pomona Sprout, the head of Hufflepuff House, is also very interesting.

Professor Sprout was a short, fat witch who wore patched clothes with a lot of dirt on them.She is a very gentle teacher who cares very much about her students.

The classroom for the Herbology class is located in the greenhouse behind the castle.

In the first class in the greenhouse, Professor Sprout introduced students from Hufflepuff and Gryffindor to eighteen kinds of mushrooms, and taught them how to remove poisonous mushrooms. Use the naked eye to distinguish them from non-toxic mushrooms.

And every Wednesday night, they go to the Astronomy Tower.

Observe the starry sky through a telescope and learn the names of different stars and the paths of planets.

The person in charge of astronomy is Aurora Sinister, a dark-skinned female teacher who has a very relaxed class.

She didn't even care how many people were present in her class and how many were absent.

The most unique course is probably History of Magic, which is also the only course taught by a ghost.

Professor Binns is a ghost who speaks in a monotonous voice that makes people sleep.

However, Ian was surprised to find that although this teacher was a ghost, his knowledge of the history of magic was almost astonishing.

In class, Ian asked him several questions about the International Law of Secrecy and the Glorious Revolution. The relevant details of these issues could not even be found in the book "History of Magic"... Professor Binns knew everything about them, almost. He answered without any thinking.

This made Ian a little suspicious. Has this ghost teacher experienced all that personally?

……

Soon, Ian discovered that the teaching atmosphere at Hogwarts was not as complicated as he imagined.

The content of the course is not heavy, much lighter than expected.Well, Professor McGonagall, who seems to be a very strict professor, does not have too high requirements for his students; at most, he only assigns a little more homework after class.

There is no gap between the students. Many students come from Muggle families and have never thought that they would be wizards. They know nothing about the entire wizarding world.

Even someone like Ernie MacMillan, who comes from a wizarding family, may not be much ahead (it can even be said to be no lead at all).

I only read a few more pages during the summer vacation, but I was already far ahead of other students in the course.

The students' subjective initiative in learning is not very strong.

The students of Hufflepuff are already relatively hard-working; except for some rare cases, the students of the other three houses are very indulgent and free in their campus life.

"Just like a normal British public middle school!" Ian finally made this judgment:

"Private secondary schools are obviously not so lenient."

It seems that the concept of "happy education" is not only spread in Western Muggle middle schools, but also has a considerable impact on the wizarding world.

And Harry Potter didn't show anything that stood out from the crowd, he was just like most ordinary people.

Although the campus life of Ian and the protagonist does not overlap much, you can hear other people discussing news about him almost every day... After all, he is the most watched student in the eyes of the first-year students.

Some Slytherin students rumored that Potter was severely mocked by Professor Severus Snape in Potions class.It even deducted two points from the Gryffindor House Cup.

This is not surprising to Ian, Professor Snape is like this.Especially according to history, the two houses Gryffindor and Slytherin have a feud.

All in all, everything about the campus life experienced at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was completely different from what Ian originally imagined.

……

However, Ian Traister himself has not forgotten his original intention.

He did not waste precious time, even if this time would still be seven years in the future; he absorbed magical knowledge so eagerly that in just a few days, the librarian Mrs. Pince became quite familiar with him ( Of course, this is also related to the fact that he gave Mrs. Pingsi a gift in advance).

At the same time, I often ask reliable professors (forget about unreliable ones) about questions I don’t understand.

For the mysterious and unknown magical world, first-year Ian Traister is full of curiosity deep in his heart!

There are many answers waiting for him to explore.
