The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

At a glance, everyone found that in addition to Headmaster Dumbledore and Professor "Lockhart" who taught Defense Against the Dark Arts, Professor Sylvanus Kettleburn, who taught the class of protection of magical creatures, was also missing. Everyone guessed that it was the old professor who retired.

The little wizards were not surprised at all. On the contrary, they also wondered why he is only now retiring.

Ketelborn was a Hufflepuff, but his reckless nature often made one wonder if the Sorting Hat had made a mistake and didn't put him in Gryffindor. Due to his character problems, his relationship with the previous principal, Armando Dippet, has always been relatively tense. During his teaching at the school, he experienced 62 probation periods! It's like teaching in the gap of being fired. The old professor retired with only one arm and half a leg—and that was probably the price of recklessness and sloppiness. But despite this, he will still go to the Fire Dragon Sanctuary in his spare time...

This fierce man finally retired this summer. Since Hogwarts teaching is tenure, the little wizards thought that the professor would teach until his death! Strangely enough, two professors left, but there was only one face on the faculty.

Professor McGonagall stretched out his hand to Lupin's place. "The first is Professor Lupin, who has agreed to fill the Defence Against the Dark Arts vacancy."

Professor Lupin stood up and waved to the crowd. However, due to his shabby clothes and those unreliable seniors, the applause in the auditorium was scattered.

Lupin sighed inwardly, and became even more pessimistic about the prospects of the job. In fact, Dumbledore wouldn't have come to teach at Hogwarts if he hadn't promised to give him the wolf's poison potion every month. Lupin had never been involved in the education industry before, and he had no idea how to teach. He could only desperately recall how his teachers taught when he was in school, and then paint a tiger like a cat.

This really made him find inspiration, and he decided to go to the castle after the opening ceremony to find a magical animal that was very suitable for the first class of the school.

But after a few seconds, the applause on the long Gryffindor table suddenly grew louder, as Snape's face was full of anger and hatred, his sallow face almost contorted.

The reaction of the Gryffindor cubs also put Lupin in a better mood.

Professor McGonagall didn't seem to see Snape's reaction, and continued after the applause for Professor Lupin disappeared: "I regret to inform everyone that our teacher in the Conservation of Magical Creatures class, Professor Kettle Byrne, last semester Retired at the end of the term - to have more time to enjoy his old arms and legs, it is none other than our gamekeeper Rubeus Hagrid, who will also take up the teaching position."

There was warm applause in the auditorium. Hagrid's big face flushed red, and behind his black beard was a big smile.

"Okay, the various announcements end here, let's have a feast!" Professor McGonagall said. The next moment, the plates in front of them were full of food, and the goblets were filled with drinks. When the last piece of pie and pudding disappeared together, Professor McGonagall announced that everyone could go back to bed.

Tom and Hermione were lining up to leave the auditorium, but Professor McGonagall suddenly appeared behind them.

"Yordle, Granger. You go to the office with me first."

Hermione shuddered. She subconsciously thought that Professor McGonagall wanted to intervene in the affairs between her and Tom, but when they arrived at the office, she realized that what Professor McGonagall wanted to say was a little different from what she thought. .

After Professor McGonagall entered the office, before Hermione could speak, she waved and brought two pieces of parchment over.

"I received your report form and you seem to have taken all the courses? Why did you do that? Some courses are unnecessary in my opinion, such as Muggle studies - you two should know Muggles well. ."

Hermione was calm and explained, "Professor, it's because I'm Muggle-born that I want to take Muggle studies, because I want to know what a Muggle looks like from a wizard's point of view. I'm still listening. Said, these courses will affect our employment in the future, so I think each course should be treated carefully - at least one semester to know its content! What's more, since the school does not prohibit all courses, then I put all the courses It’s okay to sign up for classes.”

With a glimmer of admiration in Professor McGonagall's eyes, she looked at Tom.

Tom: "Me too."

Professor McGonagall:  …

She felt a little speechless, but she couldn't help it: Hogwarts really didn't set a cap on the elective courses that students could take in an academic year, and Tom and Hermione's grades were very good, so they really let them take advantage of the loopholes.

She adjusted her glasses and took out an envelope from a drawer on the table.

"Indeed, Hogwarts will not refuse your request." She opened the envelope and pulled out a slender golden chain with a small shiny hourglass hanging from it. There is also a line of small words on the surface of the hourglass: [I mark every inch of time, but never surpass the sun. My worth to you is measured by your purpose. 】

"Time-turner," Professor McGonagall said seriously, "an alchemical creation used for time travel. The number of times the hourglass is turned represents the number of hours that time goes back in time, but remember, the rewind time cannot exceed five hours, otherwise Unpredictable damage to it and its users."

"You must not tell anyone about its existence, I dare say I had to write a hundred letters to the Ministry of Magic to apply for this time-turner - just so you could take several classes at the same time! "Professor McGonagall put the time-turner in Hermione's hands~www.wuxiamtl.com~Miss Granger, you assure me that you will not abuse it, and will never use the time-turner for anything other than your studies, about Mr. Del, so do you! "

Hermione looked at the time changer in her hand, and she didn't feel magical or special at all. She had also been in touch with time travel. The Ministry of Magic could only go back five hours, but she had directly met the pharaoh five thousand years ago!

She also has a time-turner made by the pharaoh in her hand.

Seeing the indifferent look on Miss Granger's face, Professor McGonagall pursed her lips, "This is something that can go back in time, and the Ministry of Magic has formulated hundreds of laws for it..."

Hermione: Hmm, okay, you're right, I swear I won't abuse it.

Professor McGonagall sighed, "You can do it yourself, the time shifter is extremely dangerous, in the past..."

She told several stories of wizards who had paid a terrible price for their abuse of the switch, and finally, she sent Tom and Hermione out of the office, staring them in the eyes and saying, "Respect time, and never be seen by others. arrive!"
