A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 103: New teaching aids
"Interim." Snape stared into his eyes. "Felix, it's January, and there are still five full months before the end of the school year. You know what that means."
Felix was dumb, which meant that the little wizard hadn't had a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts for nearly half a year.
But then again, does it matter?
Even if the little wizard is taught by himself, it is probably better than when Lockhart was there. At least they save time doing boring homework.
"Professor, I have always been curious, why do you obsess over this class? Are you not afraid of the Dark Lord's curse?" Felix was very puzzled by this.
But Snape didn't answer him.
Felix thought for a while and said, "I can ask Dumbledore for you."
He is not good at cursing, and this course has a terrifying record, so he never thought of taking the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
However, he is indeed very curious about the 'curse of the Dark Lord', and maybe he can learn about it from Dumbledore.
"By the way, Severus," Felix winked at Snape, "don't forget the dueling lesson tonight."
Snape gave him a disgusted look, "How are you going to arrange it?"
"Let's talk about part of it for each person, mainly for demonstration. After all, the professors have all rushed together, and I will invite the follow-up courses separately." Felix said helplessly.
Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, plus himself and Snape, there are four people.
Snape nodded, turned and left.
In the seventh grade class that day, Felix showed the new teaching aids of ancient rune to the little wizards.
They looked at Professor Haipu talking on the podium, "Did you see the parchment in front of you? It will play a huge role in your NEWTs exam."
A little wizard raised his hand, "Professor Haipu, is this the legendary teaching tool that Flint participated in making?"
The young wizards present cast their eyes on the tall and sizable Marcus Flint.
There are less than 20 students in the ancient magic text class of the seventh grade. Everyone knows the basics, and they all look suspicious at the moment.
Marcus felt like crying, he was just bragging, why was he pointed out in person?
Felix glanced at her, and said, "Miss Vera, Flint did participate in the testing of the new teaching aids. Not only him, there were ten young wizards in total, and each of them put forward their own valuable suggestions. What you see is the result of their joint efforts."
"Next, let's practice it."
According to the previous explanation, the little wizards put their wands on the answering parchment and whispered: "The secret of the rune."
The parchment glowed dimly, and a line of text emerged——
‘Welcome to the answer space, please complete the following operations. ’
After the rippling ripples, the symbols of the four colleges appeared on the parchment - the snake, the badger, the lion and the eagle.
Their bodies are made of simple ink lines, which look lifelike. The little snake representing Slytherin swims and sways in place, the badger representing Hufflepuff straightens up and looks around, and the snake representing Gryffindor The lion roared silently, and the eagle, representing Ravenclaw, was about to take flight.
The witches and wizards let out exclamations of wonder.
Vera happily landed on the eagle. Immediately afterwards, the other three animals disappeared, and the eagle representing Ravenclaw occupied the middle position on the parchment. It flapped its wings and seemed to be constantly climbing upwards. Clouds of ink lines appeared around.
Finally, the eagle stopped, its sharp eyes stared ahead, and a line of handwritten beautiful words slowly emerged, "Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth of human beings."
Almost instantly, Vera fell in love with the thing, her brown eyes seemed to glow under the thick glasses.
‘Is this made by Professor Haipu? Is this the application of ancient runes? ’
‘This is the ancient rune! ’
Even she didn't realize that her knowledge of the ancient runes had unwittingly favored Felix's side.
A few seconds later, the image of the eagle shrunk again, and it landed on the pattern on the upper left corner of the parchment. It looked mighty, and combed its feathers on its own.
And a new content emerged in the center of the parchment, 'Please use the magic wand to input magic power and write down your name. ’
Vera wrote her name neatly with her wand—Cremy Vera.
After completing this step, a formal interface finally emerged on the answering parchment.
In the upper left corner is the eagle representing Ravenclaw, below is the name of Clemie Vera, and the central position is divided into three modules, namely - OWLs module, NEWTs module, wrong question set .
Felix nodded in satisfaction. In the finalized version, he made quite a few adjustments.
For example, the activation password has changed from the original "I like ancient runes" to the more formal "secret of runes";
For another example, he added the part of information binding, that is, the functions of name, college and magic recognition.
As for the original "ranking list" function, he temporarily suppressed it. Firstly, the number of parchments for answering questions is too small. Secondly, he also has the intention to bring other professors in.
To do this, it takes time to ferment.
After about three or four minutes, the little wizards enthusiastically followed the instructions on the parchment and completed this step.
Moreover, many people have begun to compare.
"Look at my lion, it's so mighty!"
"Eagle is more beautiful."
……
"Okay, little wizards." Felix clapped his hands, attracting their attention.
Felix explained: "Currently, the answer parchment is only used in the fifth and seventh grades. You need to choose the NEWTs module. It stores the test questions over the years for you to complete the test and study."
"Of course, I broke up these contents and kept each test at about 20 minutes, and you can practice when you have nothing to do."
"As for the wrong question set module, you can find all the wrong questions here."
The little wizard who was exposed to this new gadget for the first time couldn't help but want to try it. Keremy Vera suppressed her excitement and said, "Professor Haipu, can you try it now?"
Felix said empathetically, "Of course, the next twenty minutes are reserved for you."
"Oh, by the way," he emphasized, "If you don't like the special effects of feedback, you can use your magic wand to click on it ~IndoMTL.com~ and say 'Silence'."
Vera was a little confused, but she tapped her wand on the 'NEWTs module', and rune test questions quickly appeared on the parchment.
When she finished the first question, a line of golden text appeared on the parchment——
'Choose wisely'.
She somewhat understood Professor Haipu's words, and then she saw all kinds of compliments.
'Your answer just scratched my heart. ’
‘You are the next rune star! ’
'Genius choice! ’
These words made Vera feel very delicate, a little embarrassed, but couldn't help but want to see new compliments, time passed by without her noticing.
But other people's experiences were not as wonderful as hers. Most of them had a mixture of praise and venomous remarks, but most of what Marcus faced was fancy ridicule.
He couldn't help chanting the names of two people: "Fred Weasley, George Weasley."
They did it all!
In less than ten minutes, Keremi Vera was the first to complete the test.
A big 'O' appeared on the parchment, and the eagle in the upper left corner kept circling, with large clusters of fireworks in the background.
She shook her fist excitedly.
"Very good, Miss Vera, Ravenclaw is very good!"
When the class was over, Felix assigned the latest homework: "Complete three tests, and write a paper based on the wrong answers. The content is to analyze the weak points of your knowledge."
……
In the evening, the auditorium changed its appearance again, and the gilded ring rose from the ground, and the little wizards chatted in twos and threes.
The third duel lesson is about to begin.
