The Years Welding at Hogwarts

Standing next to the mirror, Dumbledore looked at the familiar figure standing silently beside him in the mirror, with a deep sense of loneliness in his eyes.

It was an old man with the same white hair as Dumbledore, but his hair was much thinner than Dumbledore’s, and his figure was very thin.

He stood quietly next to Dumbledore in the mirror, staring at Dumbledore closely with an indescribable look in his eyes, with a faint smile on his lips… The picture in the mirror appeared again There were ripples, and what emerged this time was a girl about thirteen or fourteen years old, waving to him with a smile on her face.

A bad old man with a foul old face, who looked somewhat similar to Dumbledore but whose nose was not as crooked as his, stood beside Dumbledore and the girl at some point.

In the mirror, more and more people were standing next to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore raised his head slightly. The height difference between him and Noah allowed him to hide the emotions in his eyes.

“Me, I saw myself holding a pair of thick wool socks.”

When Dumbledore lowered his head to look at Noah again, the various complex emotions in his eyes had been well hidden by him.

“I never had enough socks. Every Christmas people gave me all kinds of boring books. I never even received a pair of socks.”

Just when Noah thought that Dumbledore would take advantage of this one-on-one meeting carefully designed by him to instill in him some concepts such as”love and peace” or”Huo’s Will”.

Dumbledore actually It wasn’t as he expected.

He wiped his eyes quietly behind the half-moon lenses,”Can you take a walk with me, an old man who has become a little sentimental?”

“My pleasure, Professor.”

Walking along the corridors of the castle, Dumbledore was like a kindly old man next door. He didn’t look like the White Devil at all.

“How was your month at Severus’s house?”

Snape family…

While maintaining the Occlumency, Noah briefly recalled and summarized his life this month.

“The food was very good, except when facing Shirley, Professor Snape had a cold face all day long, as if I owed him millions of galleons for living expenses.

He curled his lips,”I obviously paid him twenty thousand gold galleons as my living expenses.””

Dumbledore almost couldn’t breathe.

Twenty thousand Galleons?

A month?

Even with Dumbledore’s many years of self-cultivation, he couldn’t help but want to curse –

Damn, you are a big dog!

This is Hogwarts The annual expenditure is only more than 100,000 gold galleons.

Thanks to the existence of the repair spell, the loss and depreciation of the teaching props used by Hogwarts in daily teaching activities are completely negligible.

To put it bluntly , The only ones that are relatively expensive are courses like Potions. The damaged crucibles and lost potion materials need to be repurchased.

As well as Professor Sprout’s Herbology, which is grown in several greenhouses outside the castle. Magic plants are quite precious, and buying seeds is also a huge expense.

However, these two courses are not unable to create profits.

Although most of the magic potions brewed by students are poisons, a few outstanding students also It can brew potions of quite good quality.

At the end of class, students usually do not take the potions away. These finished potions can be packaged and sold to Diagon Alley to recover part of the cost.

Hogg Watts has been doing this for thousands of years.

And because of the sponsorship subsidies and policy support from the Ministry of Magic, Hogwarts actually has subsidies when purchasing consumables such as potion materials.

The purchase price It is lower than the average market price.

Therefore, the cost of potions brewed by students will be lower than the same type of products on the market, and there is a larger profit margin compared with potions brewed by others.

As for herbal medicine, then The benefits created are even more incredible. No matter how expensive the seeds of those magical plants are, their prices are far less than what they are after they are cultivated and matured.

It has to be said that Professor Sprout can really be called Hogwarts. Among the many professors, she was the most treasured one.

Under her management and care, the magical plants produced in the Hogwarts Greenhouse not only supplied Snape’s material consumption for potions to a large extent.

Moreover, a considerable part of the production capacity can be exported to Diagon Alley, which earns a lot of teaching funds for Hogwarts.

Excluding the expenditure on potions, the salary of the professors accounts for the majority of the castle’s operating funds.

Oh no. , there is another item that accounts for a larger proportion, and that is Dumbledore’s secret embezzlement of public funds.

Although after the fall of Voldemort, the Order of the Phoenix, a secret organization used to resist Voldemort, was disbanded, but it was really as clear as it appeared on the surface. Was it disbanded like that?

The answer is unknown.

The Order of the Phoenix has never really been disbanded.

Its members are spread all over the British wizarding world, even on the European continent, and all members are related to the leader Dumbledore. Maintaining a disconnected connection.

This is a big expense, so… can it be called embezzlement of public funds?

It is called preparing for a rainy day for Voldemort’s comeback.

At this moment, Dumbledore’s eyes when he looked at Noah changed somewhat..Although he knew that Noah had a large fortune in the non-magical world, even though those assets were sold in a hurry at a less than ideal price.

But he really never thought that Noah was actually so rich. If he remembered correctly

, Gringotts could help incoming Muggle freshmen convert their Muggle currency into gold galleons.

But there was an exchange limit, which seemed to be two hundred galleons or one. Comes with a thousand galleons.

Dumbledore couldn’t remember clearly, but he was sure that the amount was definitely not 20,000.

In other words, Noah, a big dog, exchanged gold directly for it?

He was able to produce gold worth twenty thousand galleons, and with such wealth, he directly threw it to Snape as his future living expenses.

This shows that Noah’s net worth is definitely more than 20,000 gold galleons, and his property can be ten times, twenty times or even fifty times that amount.

A subtle and cunning light flashed in Dumbledore’s eyes.

Maybe in the future he could deduct the cost of Potions from Hogwarts’ operating expenses?

Noah, a wealthy businessman, could completely support the expenses of potions on his own.

Dumbledore, who has a kind face but a dark heart, squeezes a big dog like Noah without any burden of conscience.

Don’t think he doesn’t know that Noah actually still retains some assets in the Muggle world.

Dumbledore is not a devil. Although he wants to cut off the connection between Noah and the non-magical world, he cannot make him willingly give up all his family property.

Only a small part of the assets that can continuously earn money are left, and they are separated from the non-magical world as much as possible. Noah’s ability to do this has made Dumbledore very satisfied.

In this case, the school board has no actual power. To put it bluntly, the ruthless funding machine of Hogwarts seems to have no need to exist?

Seeing that Dumbledore suddenly stopped talking, Noah raised his head and glanced at the White Devil, who was making a small calculation next to him.

What evil is this old bee holding back?

“professor?”

“cough.”Dumbledore cleared his throat, hiding his little thoughts well, and changed the topic naturally.

“How has it been this week at Hogwarts?”

“not bad.”

When it comes to life at Hogwarts, Noah’s mouth showed a subtle smile,”It’s about the teaching at Hogwarts. I have a few questions that I want to reflect on.”

“Yeah? Dumbledore suddenly became interested and said,”Let’s talk about it.””

Noah blinked,”It’s anonymous, won’t the professors know?”

Dumbledore couldn’t laugh or cry,”I will keep it a secret. Apart from you and me, no third person will know the content of our conversation tonight.”

“That’s good,” Noah looked honest and honest,”First of all, the biggest problem is that the teaching quality at Hogwarts is uneven.”

Hearing this question, Dumbledore showed a look of embarrassment.

How could he not know which course Noah was talking about?

But the reputation of the Defense Against the Dark Arts course at Hogwarts is really too bad. Poor, anyone who can’t live a good life will not apply for this position to seek death.

This is the cognitive blind spot caused by inertial thinking.

As the saying goes, a blind eye cannot see the mountain.

Noah grinned,”What Voldemort cursed is Defense Against the Dark Arts teaches this position, but why can’t we offer a new course?”

A confused look appeared on Dumbledore’s face.

Seeing this, Noah raised a finger and said,”We can definitely open another course called [Magical Offense and Defense].”

“What Voldemort cursed was the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. What does my magic offense and defense have to do with it?”

“As for the teaching content……”

At this point, with Dumbledore’s wisdom, he should have understood what Noah meant, and his blue eyes became brighter.

Yes, Voldemort cursed the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. What does his magic offense and defense have to do with it?

As for the teaching content, what I teach is wizard dueling, not defense against the dark arts.

Although I use dark wizards like Death Eaters as imaginary enemies, so the teaching content is somewhat similar, so what does it matter?

Noah shook his body nervously

“We can reduce the scheduling time of Defense Against the Dark Arts classes. Every week, ah no, just take one Defense Against the Dark Arts class in two or three weeks.”

“Your idea is very good.” Dumbledore showed a gratified smile,”Let me think about this matter again.”

Noah’s raised fingers changed from one to two,”There is a second thing.”

“Tell me”

“In addition to the problems of professors, students also have considerable problems. To me, the learning environment for students is still too comfortable.”

Dumbledore’s eyes were full of interest,”Oh? What about this?”

“The first is the arrangement of study time.”

The arc at the corner of Noah’s mouth was like a devil’s grin.

“Class times at Hogwarts are from nine to twelve in the morning, from two to six in the afternoon, and from eight to nine in the evening. However, no grade will have such full classes all day long.”

“Considering that Hogwarts’ staff team is short of manpower, the current course arrangement is the limit of what the professors can do.”

Dumbledore nodded and motioned for Noah to continue.

“Among the time that students have free when they are not taking courses, only a few students take the initiative to study, and most of them waste this time.”

Hearing Noah’s words, Dumbledore carefully recalled the green years when he was still at Hogwarts, and a trace of shame appeared on his face.

He was what Noah said, a waste of time. One of the vast majority of people who lost

“My suggestion is to introduce self-study classes, add a monthly exam mechanism, and add a wizard duel field”

“Self-study courses? Monthly exam mechanism?”This is the first time Dumbledore has heard such a novel term.

“The so-called self-study class is to arrange a classroom for students during the time when they do not have classes, so that they can study independently.”

“As long as they don’t leave the classroom, they can study any subject, whether it’s doing homework or previewing new courses.……”

The corners of Dumbledore’s mouth twitched, what kind of devil is this?���Law?

“As for the monthly examination mechanism, literally speaking, it means that students are tested every other month.”

Speaking of this, Noah couldn’t help but reveal a trace of disdain for the current teaching methods at Hogwarts.

“Hogwarts now only assesses students at the end of the school year. In this way, how can professors keep track of students’ usual learning progress?”

“Therefore, we can increase the frequency of assessments to once a month, so that professors can have a more accurate grasp of students’ learning progress.”

An exam once a month…

Thinking of such a scene, Dumbledore couldn’t help but adjust the slightly crooked half-moon glasses on his face.

Fortunately, he graduated early.

Even he may not be able to withstand such a devil. Assessment.

Looking at Dumbledore’s inexperienced look, Noah couldn’t help but show a trace of disdain.

Where is this?

If it weren’t for the fact that marking test papers would take up a lot of time and energy from professors, Noah would even want to Hogwarts implements a weekly exam system. There is a small exam every week and a big exam every month.

You think, wouldn’t Noah have to be busy every day?

As smart as Noah, how could he not leave loopholes for himself ? Woolen cloth?

“For those students who are ahead in their studies, there is no need to waste their time on meaningless review of old knowledge.”

“We can allow students who are progressing ahead of schedule, such as top students like Miss Hermione Granger, to apply for early year-end final assessments.”

“As long as you pass the year-end assessment in advance, you don’t have to waste time taking the first-grade monthly exams, but focus on studying the second-grade knowledge.”

“If you are confident enough, you can apply for the second-year year-end assessment again after passing the first-year exam in advance.”

With Noah’s level, it is natural that he can pass the assessment early and spend the rest of the school year doing his own things.

“As for those students who are unable to complete their learning goals on time and achieve average progress, we can set some special penalties”

“For example, use weekends to arrange for them to participate in advanced classes to ensure that they can catch up with the normal teaching progress of professors.”

At this point, Noah’s lips curved into a smile that looked extremely evil in the eyes of all students, even though he acted very kindly. Although the

Weasley twins are smart, their talents are all added to When it comes to pranks, even their magical talents serve the purpose of pranking. Proficient in transfiguration, alchemy and potions?

Those are just for making prank props.

If they are serious Learn knowledge and then take serious subject examinations. Sorry, this is not within the capabilities of the twin brothers.

Their magic talents are very good, but this does not affect their ability to pass every exam. The passing scores were floating low.

Moreover, there were often students who failed several courses, such as History of Magic, which were of little help to their pranks and could even be said to be ineffective.

If Dumbledore had listened to Noah If they do this in Hogwarts, the twin brothers who often fail their exams will probably have to spend every weekend in various advanced classes.

What does it mean to be able to fight without losing any blood?

Noah laughed in his heart Like an old fox who successfully stole a chicken, I’m really a genius

“Of course, setting up weekend classes will have an impact on professors’ weekend rest time to a certain extent.”

“My personal suggestion is that professors in weekend classes can recruit teaching staff from outside the school to tutor students.”

Dumbledore’s head couldn’t stop shaking up and down, expressing his agreement with Noah’s opinion.

“They do not need to master the teaching progress of professors, they only need to know how to provide special training to students according to their weaknesses, so as to make up for their shortcomings.”

“This does not require high levels of educational skills for teaching staff. They do not have to have as comprehensive knowledge of the subject as full-time professors.”

In addition to the quality of the teaching staff, Noah was even considerate in helping Dumbledore consider the funding.

“As for the funds to hire additional professors, I can definitely convince Draco’s father to make a donation to Hogwarts, or I can personally pay for it for the school.”

I can buy an insignificant amount of Galleons in exchange for the twin brothers spending every weekend in the advanced class. Noah thinks it is quite worth it.

When the assets reach a certain scale, no matter how many Galleons there are, it will be worth it.” To Noah, it was just a cold number.

He was not interested in money, and he had never touched money.

The thing he regretted most was founding SHIELD…

Bah!

When Noah said these words, He didn’t notice at all that the corners of Dumbledore’s mouth in front of him were twitching even more fiercely, which made people wonder whether Old Dumbledore had a stroke or just a simple facial cramp.
