A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 24: Thesis


Ancient rune professor's office.

Felix has finished his teaching work for a day. Today he has three classes, but half of the time is used for exams. The euphemistic name is "to grasp the students' learning situation". In his previous life, there was a professional term, It's called a "diagnostic evaluation."

Diagnostic assessment is defined as an assessment of a student's current level of development at the beginning of a term or unit.

Used here, it can be said to be very appropriate.

The other half of the class time is spent reviewing what has been learned. This disappointed the little wizards, who thought they had a chance to continue the magic puppet war.

Fortunately, the professor told them that they will see them in the next class, and they will be rewarded for their good performance.

Felix is ​​watching a movie in the office, and he is watching it carefully.

Bang bang bang!

A quick knock on the door interrupted his entertainment time, he opened the door and saw Hermione who was out of breath.

"Professor...sorry, I...fufu...I fell asleep and missed...time!"

Hermione's chest heaved violently, her face was flushed, and her hair was wet with a thin layer of sweat.

Seeing the little witch's anxious expression, Felix told her not to worry, and led her into the office.

"Please sit down."

Hermione sat down obediently, and soon realized that a movie was being projected on the wall in front of her.

Turning her head left and right, she quickly saw a projector.

Hermione is a little messy, am I still awake? Isn't Hogwarts forbidden to use Muggle products?

But she didn't dare to move around, so she could only look at the projected content for a few minutes, and found, eh, it's pretty good.

The movie tells the story of a princess visiting Rome and meeting a reporter by accident. It can be seen that the movie has been around for a certain period of time, but the story is well told and people can't help but immerse themselves in it.

Just saw a scene where the princess took a violin and smashed it on the head of a gangster.

Hermione couldn't help laughing.

Then when she heard footsteps, she immediately restrained her smile and sat upright.

Felix held a glass of drink in his hand and handed it to her, "This is butter beer. I added a little euphoria potion and dream potion, and they will be released little by little, allowing you to sleep well when you go back."

"Thank you, Professor Haip." Hermione took a sip, the taste was a bit strange, but it was not bad. She found her spirits lifted, and the weariness of the past week was gone.

Recalling the purpose of her visit, she quickly opened her schoolbag, took out seven pieces of parchment, and handed them to Felix, "Professor, this is my thesis."

Felix took the paper and started to read it. At the same time, he waved his wand without looking up, and a few plates of snacks flew in front of Hermione, "You can eat something first and watch a movie. You shouldn't have any lately." Time to have fun."

It was only after hearing Felix's words that she realized that she had missed dinner again, and at this moment every cell in her body was complaining to her.

She blushed slightly, ate snacks in small bites, glanced at the professor who was concentrating on reading the thesis from time to time, saw that he didn't have any intention of looking up, and quietly speeded up.

Before she knew it, she drank the butterbeer and ate three plates of snacks, and the movie came to an end.

The feeling of fullness made Hermione feel happy again.

She turned her head and glanced at the professor, only to find that he had finished reading the thesis and was reading a book with relish.

"Professor, I'm sorry..."

Felix raised his head with a smile in his eyes, "I thought you liked this movie very much."

Hermione: "..."

"Okay, let's talk about your thesis." Fearing that the little girl would be thin-skinned, Felix hurriedly changed the subject. He picked up Hermione's thesis and praised: "A very good thesis."

"The logic is rigorous, the writing is smooth, and the materials of eighteen books are quoted, and every supporting evidence is just right..."

Hermione hung her head, embarrassed by the compliment.

"Congratulations, you are now my assistant." Felix stood up and walked in front of her.

Hermione's eyes sparkled brightly, "Really? Ah! Professor, I, I'm so excited."

"You deserve it," Felix said gently, "You have put in a lot of effort for this, and it can be said that it has far exceeded my expectations."

Hermione wanted to cry, she's had a rough week.

"As my assistant, you will have to spend extra time in the future..."

"Professor, I will work hard!"

"No, you misunderstood me," Felix smiled, "If you pay, you will gain. For this reason—"

"Gryffindor adds fifty points, every semester."

……

Hermione returned to the common room in a daze. Harry and Ron were playing wizard chess, and the twins huddled in a corner, holding a piece of parchment in their hands, mumbling something.

Seeing Hermione coming in, many young wizards raised their heads, and the gossip spread the fastest. They already knew that Hermione might become the new professor's assistant.

And Felix, who just finished the public class, is now in the limelight.

Harry hurriedly jumped up and pulled the chess pieces aside, "Hermione, what's the result?"

"Hey! I'm going to check in soon." Ron muttered dissatisfiedly, but his heart was not on the chessboard either.

"I succeeded." Hermione directly announced the result.

"Hey! Cheers to Miss Know-It-All of Gryffindor! She has become the youngest teaching assistant at Hogwarts!" The twins cheered. run around.

Several fireworks went off "bang bang bang", and the lounge was plunged into a sea of ​​joy. A group of little wizards came over and sent blessings to Hermione, regardless of her low-pitched explanation of "not a teaching assistant but an assistant".

The twins disappeared quietly for a while, and brought back a large bag of various food, adding to the joyful atmosphere in the lounge.

On the way, Professor McGonagall was called in. She pursed her lips and remained silent, as if she was thinking about how many points she would deduct from Gryffindor.

"Professor McGonagall, we are celebrating Hermione becoming a teaching assistant." The twins quickly explained.

Professor McGonagall took a quick look at Hermione and smiled when she saw her nod. "It's okay to say that...but...you have to keep your voice down." Professor McGonagall quickly compromised.

"This is your thesis?" Professor McGonagall looked over the cheering crowd ~IndoMTL.com~ at the parchment in Hermione's hand.

"Yes, Professor McGonagall."

Mag picked up the parchment, first counted the number of sheets in surprise, and then quickly read them.

It has both Hermione's original text and comments added by Felix.

Professor McGonagall turned quickly at first, but soon slowed down. Although Hermione's thesis is more like a summary, it is very concise and clear, almost reorganizing the development process of the entire ancient runes.

Basically, anyone who reads Hermione's paper will have a relatively comprehensive understanding of ancient runes.

"Excellent paper, I think it is worthy of publication in the journal."

"I'm still far behind. Professor Haipu helped me correct a lot of places." Hermione whispered.

Professor McGonagall is also a little speechless. From her point of view, Hermione's thesis is already very good, but Felix can actually put forward more corrections. skill.

However, Felix's comment was not to pick a mistake, but something like "It is recommended to read pages 172-174 of "Ancient Rune History" to deepen your understanding", which actually means that Hermione didn't think deeply enough.

"He's too strict." Even Professor McGonagall, who is known for being strict, couldn't help but side with Hermione.

"Professor Haip thinks I'm qualified, and his comment is what I'll do in the next stage." Hermione explained.

Professor McGonagall nodded, looking at the paper, the more he read it, the more he liked it.

"How about this, after you revise the paper according to Professor Haipu's annotations, I will pass it to a friend of mine for you, and you may have a chance to publish it."

All the little wizards looked like they were worshiping the boss.
