The Pacifist Necromancer of Hogwarts

After the New Year, Hogwarts starts school again. Students rushed back to Hogwarts from all over the country, and the castle became lively again. Peeves gleefully chased the escaping students, and Filch chased Peeves up and down the stairs.

Perhaps because they have been playing at home for a long time during the holidays, students are still lazily immersed in the atmosphere of Christmas and New Year. Professors complain that their minds are not yet focused on studying.

Professor Sprout was worried that students returning from vacation would make mistakes in practice, so he arranged four theoretical classes at once to teach students the analysis of crab claws, devil's nets and poisonous tentacles.

I have to say, I regret it a bit. She said in the staff lounge, with a thick pile of papers beside the tea cup. The papers in the theoretical class are much longer than those in the practical class. She sighed, and on the An A was drawn on the parchment with illegible handwriting, and he took out another copy and read it.

Professor Flitwick said: Three students told me today that their papers were burned. They said they were reviewing their previous homework and the flames were blazing. He lit the teapot and let it pour for Professor Sprout and Anthony. A cup of tea, Not having a paper will make teaching a lot easier, Professor Anthony. You made a good decision.

Anthony thanked him and took a sip of tea: Thank you to the Examination Administration. After looking at past exam questions, I can't figure out why they should write papers.

Thesis is still very important for Charms, ​​Professor Flitwick said. Defence Against the Dark Arts should be the same... I hope students will realize this.

Professor Sprout sighed: Alas, Quirinus.

Professor Quirrell's class has almost become a joke, and his reputation has a tendency to catch up with Professor Trelawney. Some students just gave their papers on divination to Professor Quirrell just for fun.

They were supposed to write a paper on identifying and fighting vampires, but Quirrell received several divination papers, vividly describing a precognitive dream that proved that he would be stuffed into a cauldron by Snape to boil out concentrated blood. , which he then used with beef stew. Judging from the quantity, they provided Snape with food for at least three days.

…

When Anthony entered the classroom, several students were still yawning absentmindedly.

Get up and go to class. Anthony closed the door and returned the pre-holiday exams to the students. First of all - Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I am happy to inform you that your midterm exam passing rate reached 9% Eleven, I knew you would be fine.”

The two students who failed stared at their answer sheets with straight faces.

What I didn't expect was that the excellent rate actually reached 55%. Thank you for the Christmas gift you gave me. Anthony smiled, Students who failed, don't be discouraged. As I said, This time it will still not be counted in the final assessment score.

But are there rewards for a job well done? reminds Roger Davis. He is a substitute Chaser for Ravenclaw Quidditch.

Anthony nodded: Yes, there is a reward. The school has approved my application for teaching funds, so if everything goes well, we will have a large-scale practical activity at the end of the school year——

Everyone perked up and looked at him expectantly.

——Let's go to the Muggle world together for a day. Anthony looked at their expressions and said with a smile, Of course, when you tell others, remember to tell them that this is to experience Muggle life first-hand, and combine all the things in the classroom with you. Apply learning to real life situations.”

Similar to the previous practical activities of the fourth grade class, this time there are still several options, just choose the one you like. Anthony said, Since all classes are participating, we don't care about grade and college, okay? We Group by destination, not class. However, some projects have a limit on the number of people, so I don’t guarantee that everyone can choose the place they most want to go.”

The students listened attentively. Davis was so excited that his face turned red, and he turned his head and said something to his deskmate.

Anthony remembered that he said that he chose Muggle Studies in order to be able to walk naturally on Muggle streets one day - when he was a child, he accidentally walked on Muggle streets because he did not understand the difference between sidewalks and car lanes. On the road, the angry driver rolled down his window and yelled at him. Davis wanted to know what he had done to deserve such wrath.

Anthony smiled and took out the test before the holiday: Now let's start explaining the questions. Stay focused. The sooner we finish the explanation, the sooner we will know what the destinations are.

…

Apart from the anxious squeaking of seats being moved, students were quite cooperative during the entire explanation session. Anthony was satisfied to find that no one looked at the students taking flying lessons in the distance.

After finishing the last question, he slowly put away the answer sheet, and finally smiled under the students' silent condemnation eyes: Okay, let's talk about the itinerary.

In the first group, we set out from Hogwarts and took a train to a nearby Muggle town. Our final destination was the Royal Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh. Muggles effectively simulated different environments without resorting to magic. Plants from all over the world are grown on a very small piece of land.”

This botanical garden was recommended by Professor Sprout, and Anthony trusted the judgment of professionals.

The second group went from Hogsmeade to Diagon Alley via the freight line, walked through the Muggle neighborhoods of London, and went to a pet rescue station. I noticed that many people didn't have pets yet, and Muggles happened to have a complete set of Pet rescue process. Students who are interested in adopting a pet can register with me after the study tour, and we will see how to solve the issue of adoption qualifications together.

He liked the fact that Hogwarts leniently allowed students to bring pets to school. Speaking from personal experience, Anthony is very supportive of students keeping pets. Sometimes, he even felt that if Slytherin and Gryffindor students could be forced to stuff a feather down in each hand, the relationship between the houses would be much easier.

“The third group is the furthest and is limited to seven people. We will go directly to Wiltshire via Portkey, where I hired a car. We drive into the zoo and there is a limit on the number of people because of limited vehicle size. The zoo is… …Well, Muggles keep lots of animals together, raise them – including some that are quite dangerous to Muggles – and enjoy watching them live.”

The students were obviously aware that the number of people who could make it into this group was ridiculously small. Some began to look around the classroom, trying to determine how many competitors they had.

For the fourth group, we will go to London first, and then we will take the train to Birmingham and visit the chocolate factory. Understanding industrialization, students, is a very important part of our understanding of Muggle production and life.

Understanding chocolate is also a very important part of a happy student life.

The specific time has not yet been determined. After the personnel list is confirmed, it will be arranged according to everyone's class schedule. If it cannot be arranged, it will probably take up the weekend. Generally speaking, that's it. Are there any problems?

Cedric immediately asked: Professor, if the number of applicants exceeds the limit, how do you decide who will go?

That's a good question. Anthony nodded, After discussion between the school and me, we jointly decided to use a fair method commonly used by Muggles... drawing lots.

Happy 43rd birthday to Harry Potter! Your parents combined are not as old as you.
