Chapter 54: Step 1 of a Successful Master: Stop Holding the Staff (1)
Although the classroom on the third floor is already the largest classroom in Hogwarts school, due to the fact that too many people are crowded in one classroom, and even the edge of the window sill is full of people, the air cannot move quickly. Circulation, so the teachers and students don't feel very good in this classroom now, it's extremely stuffy, and the air is getting more and more turbid!
Even though Headmaster Dumbledore had just cast several cooling and fresh air spells in a row, there was basically not much improvement! After all, there are too many people here, and human beings will always emit heat and breathe air outside! You can't let Mr. Principal act as a humanoid air conditioner there, casting spells for the students continuously, right? He is the principal, not the school worker!
So, that old thief Dumbledore just cast a few spells and quit! He also felt that his own actions were too stupid! Maybe the next time he has an open class, he would be more willing to directly use the Untraceable Expansion Curse to expand the classroom several times in advance!
Some impatient students looked at the time, there was still a minute or two left, and it was almost nineteen o'clock in the evening! Generally speaking, before class, Hogwarts professors usually come to the classroom at least ten minutes in advance to prepare!
And now, the time is almost up! The students didn't know why, why didn't the new Professor Anne even see his shadow? Does she have the same hobby as Professor McGonagall? Like to turn into some animals or hide and peek at the students?
Not seeing the professor in the public class, the students under the podium started whispering. Especially the students standing in the aisle! Their resentment is even greater! Some even started complaining loudly! They stood crowded together for almost ten minutes! And now the professor in charge of the class didn't even see the shadow!
Could it be that Professor Anne is temporarily busy? Can't come? Or just let them dove directly, don't want to teach? Then at least give me a notice! What's the point of letting a large number of them crowd here like this?
"Professor Dumbledore, what about Professor Anne? Why hasn't she come at this hour?" Harry was also a little anxious, so he turned his head and asked Principal Dumbledore sitting next to him in a low voice.
Hearing Harry's question, Dumbledore also frowned and thought about it, pondered for a while, and finally took out a pocket watch in his pocket, and opened it! Yes, the time has indeed come! It's almost nineteen thirty in the evening now!
He was also very puzzled, wondering if there was something wrong with little Annie? But I've seen her loafing around in Hogwarts Castle recently, and I haven't heard anything special about her! How strange!
"Don't be impatient, Harry! Sometimes, you can only harvest delicious fruits if you wait patiently enough! Maybe, Professor Anne will be here soon?" Dumbledore had just finished speaking, and was about to ask When Hermione Granger, who was two places away, suddenly had an abnormal wave of magic power on the podium.
"Crack!", a blue arcane magic burst out of thin air, and the next moment, Annie appeared on the edge of the podium in the big classroom!
The teachers and students who are complaining or muttering, collectively silence at this moment! They just stared blankly at Professor Anne Hastur who suddenly apparated and appeared on the podium.
There were still some withered and broken leaves on the tips of Annie's golden hair, a lot of dry grass debris stuck to the fiery red dress, and there was even a dead branch of a tree in the little red hood behind her!
Obviously, this Professor Anne Hasta must be busy with something before coming here again! So much so that she didn't have enough time to tidy up her appearance a little bit.
Many students who didn't know the truth just stared blankly like this. They looked at this obviously unreliable new professor in front of them, and they couldn't help wondering whether she could really teach them something useful. This is not convincing enough from the outside! She looks like an ordinary little girl!
And Hermione covered her forehead speechlessly! She knew it would be like this! Annie must have forgotten about her class! Just now I may not know where I am still playing crazy! Then when she suddenly thought of it,
That's why they came here in such a hurry! And looking at her now, could it be that she went to drill in the grass? But during the holidays, I didn't find that she had such a hobby, did she?
Compared to the other students who focused on the external content, Dumbledore and Snape looked a little dignified. The strength that Anne showed inadvertently was beyond their expectations! Especially Snape! It can be seen from his expression that he is not so calm at the moment!
Even though it was just a simple teleportation spell similar to Apparatus, they all knew: Hogwarts School of Wizardry and Wizardry has a protective circle jointly set up by the four founders! In the protective range of the entire castle, except for the four founders and the principal! Before breaking the protective magic circle, it is impossible for anyone to perform shapeshifting or cast similar space teleportation spells here!
And what did Snape see just now? Little Annie actually teleported over right under their noses? There is so much information hidden in it! Can't help but make him think deeply!
In this situation, either, Anne has stolen the security clearance of Hogwarts, so she can teleport or apparate at will! Or, Anne's strength is far above the four founders! Powerful enough to make her ignore the protection authority! And Principal Dumbledore is here, he can be sure that the protective circle and authority are intact, there is no problem at all! Well, this is more inclined to be the second case!
And Dumbledore, who had been prepared for little Annie's strength in his heart, did not make a fuss like Snape, after all, it was not the first time he had contacted little Annie! So he just sighed with emotion! No matter how much it is, he is secretly glad. In his opinion, it is fortunate that little Anne is not a crazy lunatic like Tom, otherwise, the wizarding world will really be in trouble!
"Hello! That..., good evening everyone!" Annie looked up at the magic clock on the wall, the time seemed to be just right! Not too late!
Don't mind too much if it's a minute or two late! Anyway, she is the professor now, and no one dares to say that she is late! It is said that being late is the prerogative of the teacher!
What Anne didn't expect was that her own first class would be so popular, watching this big classroom was packed to the brim, they took up any spare space! Have most of the teachers and students from Hogwarts come? This is really good!
"I shouldn't be late by how many minutes, right? But it doesn't matter, I'll tell you a funny thing! Just now I met a beautiful unicorn in the Forbidden Forest! We became friends and ran all over the place together A Forbidden Forest, it’s so much fun! In the end, I almost got into a fight with some centaurs! If the big guy didn’t remind me, I almost forgot about the class! You can’t think of it? Haha! That’s unique Horned beast! I've never seen it before! I even gave it a name..." Anne began to narrate endlessly.
Well, poor Hagrid, Annie still doesn't remember his name, but only remembers his nickname of a big man! What was even more pitiful was the students below. What Annie didn't know was that what she said just now was a spiritual blow to the teachers and students in the hall! The damage value is infinite!
You know, others have worked so hard to grab a seat for your open class, and some even come half an hour earlier! And those who couldn't grab a seat could only sit on the windowsill, crowded in the aisle! How uncomfortable this half hour was for some of them! Some people don't even dare to go out because they are holding their urine, because they are afraid that someone else will take their place as soon as they turn around! And you are here to say this now? Almost forgot because of fun? All right! Does anyone know where the Hogwarts school's anonymous complaint box is located?
"Ahem!" Sensing the gathering of countless terrifying magical powers called resentment behind him, Principal Dumbledore interrupted Anne quickly: "Dear Professor Anne! Now, should I start class?"
"Ah? That's right! Class!" Interrupted by Dumbledore, Annie finally remembered what she was rushing back for! Isn't it just class! This is easy!
Although she doesn't have any teaching experience, Anne is quite confident! After all, she had been a student for a long time in New York! She, Anne, is also confident that she can imitate the way Teacher Mayne and the others teach the class!
Well... that's right! What were you going to teach tonight? Annie began to rack her brains to remember! Evocation magic? Department of prophecy? Conjuration? Necromancy? Spell modeling? wrong! Neither! Oh! I remembered! Cast without a staff! This is it!
"Okay! Then, let's start the formal class now! Now, take out your textbooks first!" Annie was about to start the class. She pretended to be the old teacher Mayne, like a little adult, and walked up with her hands behind her back. In front of the podium.
But when she found that the podium was as high as her and completely blocked her view, she gritted her teeth and floated up to stand on the podium.
With one hand, she startled the students in the audience who were still doubtful about her ability just now. There was no spell-casting action, no spell, and no magic wand to cast a spell similar to the floating spell! Sure enough, he is a man of no vain under his prestige! They are worthy of being able to turn over Gringotts and the Ministry of Magic. They think that maybe they can really learn something useful today!
"Oh! I almost forgot! We don't have any textbooks! Let's forget about it!" Annie stood on the podium and saw that the students below didn't make any moves, and then she remembered that her public class didn't have any textbooks. !
"Okay! Then, before the official lecture, can anyone come up and perform spell casting with a stick?" After standing on the podium, Annie looked at the teachers and students below. But it seems that no one dares to be the first bird, and everyone looks at her with big eyes and small eyes.
"Just cast any spell! Bonus points!!" Annie knew that there seemed to be several funnels on the other side of the auditorium, and all professors could add or deduct points according to the performance of the students in each college!
After hearing Little Annie say that you can add points! With a swish, a large group of people raised their hands! Anyway, any spell will do! You can also add points to your own college! Why not do it?
"Then it's up to you! Hermione! You come up and perform a spell for everyone!" Annie directly nodded to Hermione who raised her hand high.
You must be partial, right? Must be right? Everyone knew that Annie and Hermione knew each other well, and now they chose her name when they could get extra points! Isn't this partiality? If it weren't for the presence of other professors in the classroom at the moment, they would have to boo!
Annie didn't know what other people were thinking. After all, she wouldn't cast a spell to detect thoughts on other people at will, it was very rude! If she knew that other students thought so, she would definitely yell that she was wronged!
Because after all, she doesn't know anyone except Hermione and the old man Dumbledore! With so many people raising their hands now, should she just point to someone and say: You, you, you! It's you! What are you looking at? I'm talking about you! You come to the front to perform?
