Chapter 649 Professor McGonagall’s Request (2)

When Ada thought about it, it was a good idea to return to Hogwarts to teach.

The first is to solve the current shortage of teachers in the school. Ada can be qualified as a Transfiguration teacher or a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.

If Professor McGonagall continues to teach Transfiguration and Ada teaches Defense Against the Dark Arts, the problem will be solved in an instant.

The remaining Muggle Studies class is a purely theoretical class, designed to let the young wizards know more about Muggles and understand the differences between the two sides. But in fact, the vast majority of students choose this course just to save trouble.

The students didn't care at all what Professor Bubaji said in class.

Muggle-born wizards do not need to learn the content of this class. Children from wizarding families may not be able to understand it, while children from pure-blood families do not bother to learn it. This makes the positioning of this course very awkward.

In the final analysis, it is caused by wizards' contempt for Muggles, and those engaged in Muggle research are also considered inferior.

For example, the Muggle Liaison Office of the Ministry of Magic is responsible for handling the relationship between wizards and Muggles, but it is an idle department that can only read a newspaper for a day.

If you go to work in the Muggle Liaison Office and become a Muggle Liaison Officer, you can basically say goodbye to your political career in the ministry.

It was such a "dispensable" course that Ada thought she might as well cancel it because no one would take it anyway.

If it is not canceled, then just show Muggle movies, war movies, documentaries, etc. to the students, so that the young wizards can understand Muggle technology and combat effectiveness, especially the power of nuclear explosions.

Tell those proud pure-blood family wizards: Sir, times have changed! The equivalent is justice, and the range is truth!

After solving the teacher shortage problem, Ada's return can also solve the school's safety problem, which is the second benefit.

At present, the enemy is facing a dark cloud of terror, and the safety of schools has become a common worry for professors and parents. The school in the post-Dumbledore era, although the castle is still majestic, always gives people a papery feeling.

No matter how many Aurors there are in Hogsmeade, they can't equal one Albus Dumbledore.

Even if Ada sits in Hogwarts, she can only play a role in comforting people and cannot replace Dumbledore's position in the wizarding world.

If she wants to replace the greatest wizard, Ada still needs time to prove that she is not a bright firework or a fleeting meteor.

The first two points are obvious, and the last advantage is Ada's own guess. Ada once again used malicious intentions to speculate on Dumbledore's intentions, which is why she said that she "judges the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain."

Returning to school to teach and educate people will inevitably lead to being far away from the Ministry of Magic and the political power center in the magical world. Just like Dumbledore in the past, he was not bothered by worldly distractions and concentrated on magic.

Dumbledore persuaded Ada several times during his lifetime, hoping that she could return to school instead of staying at the Ministry of Magic. Even the last bet between the two was about returning to Hogwarts.

But after thinking about it carefully, Ada felt that it was not for this purpose that Dumbledore proposed to let her return to school to teach. It was more for the first two points.

Otherwise, the winner of that bet would not have been Ada, and she would have returned to school long ago as per the bet.

In fact, Ada was quite happy to hear Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall's proposal. She was used to life at Hogwarts and liked it there. It would be great to go back to school again.

Moreover, when Voldemort graduated, he wanted to apply to stay at the school to teach, but Dumbledore refused. Now, Ada, an undergraduate, was invited back to the school to teach. Just thinking about it makes her happy.

If Voldemort found out, the Dark Lord's nose would probably be crooked with anger, which would be even happier. Wait, Voldemort seems to have no nose, what a poor man!

The only sound in the room was the sound of Ada sipping tea. Professor McGonagall, who was somewhat conflicted, was waiting for Ada to express her position.

On the one hand, Professor McGonagall hopes that his beloved disciple can return to school, and on the other hand, he hopes that Ada can spread her wings and fly in the outside world.

It wasn't until all the tea in the cup was drunk, leaving only the strange-shaped tea residue, that Ada, who was not good at divination, put down the tea cup again.

Ada frowned and said softly: "Professor, I have no idea of ​​returning to school until I defeat the Dark Lord. I am not suitable to be a teacher now."

It's not that she is obsessed with power and refuses to leave the Ministry of Magic, but that Ada has her own ideas. Moreover, in the magical world, personal force is the highest symbol of power. Whether she is in the Ministry or not has little impact on her, but it has a great impact on the Ministry of Magic.

The reason why she stayed in the Ministry of Magic was because Ada would not be hindered by the mundane affairs of the Ministry. She could not only use the energy of the Ministry to deal with Voldemort, but also be able to leave at will and go wherever she wanted.

But when she returns to school, she won't have this kind of "freedom". Ada will be stymied by teaching life, and it will be very troublesome to go out. For example, traveling to Albania and staying there for many days would make her look irresponsible.

A teacher is someone who teaches, imparts knowledge and resolves doubts. Ada has always felt that teaching is a sacred profession and a very important profession, which is why she hates Quirrell and Lockhart.

Since you can't focus on teaching students now, don't be a teacher and mislead others.

Seeing Ada's straightforward refusal, Professor McGonagall stopped persuading her. Professor McGonagall knows Ada's temperament, and her decision will not be changed easily unless there are major changes in Hogwarts.

She had a headache. Professor McGonagall had a headache. The recruitment of teachers made her head grow bigger. It was more annoying than the female student council president who was always in solitary confinement.

"Professor, you can actually consider members of the Order of the Phoenix, such as Sirius Black." Ada suggested, "He has been very idle recently. I think he can be qualified for the role of Defense Against the Dark Arts. By the way, he can also temporarily fill in the role of Defense Against the Dark Arts." Dean of Llanffindor.”

This idea cannot be said to be bad, nor can it be said to be good. It is an emergency measure.

Sirius' ability is obvious to all. He can even train Animagus, so teaching students is not a problem at all.

Ada imagined Professor Black's style of painting: Five points from Slytherin for being too stupid... Ten points from Slytherin for being too snotty... Five points for brave Gryffindor... Look Looks a lot like James, ten points from Gryffindor...

If Sirius really becomes a professor, Slytherin may have to feel the pain that Gryffindor once felt!

Compared to Professor Black, Ada would rather recommend Lupine.

Remus Lupine once taught at Hogwarts and was once the most popular Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher among students in recent years.

Lupine has been having trouble lately, and he always looks worried. He is not suitable to continue to be a member of the Order of the Phoenix, let alone continue to have contact with the werewolf group.

Lupine could just return to Hogwarts, adjust, and spend more time with Tonks, killing two birds with one stone.

However, Lupine's werewolf identity is the biggest difficulty. Parents know that he has returned to work as a teacher, and they are afraid to let their students return to school. Maybe Polyjuice Potion could be used, but I don't know if it would be effective against werewolves.
