#218 - Chapter 218 Old Deng, You're the One for This Job

Cough—cough—cough—

Hearing Sebastian's suggestion, Dumbledore couldn't help but cough tactically a few times.

He was completely disheveled, muttering to himself incessantly.

He had been listening with great interest, planning to assign the task of writing a sample lesson plan for Defense Against the Dark Arts to Severus or Sebastian himself after Sebastian finished speaking.

After all, both Sebastian and Severus were suitable.

Who would have thought that, with a snap, this extra work would fall on his own shoulders.

This is really...

Sitting at home, work falls from the sky!

Dumbledore glanced at Professor McGonagall sitting beside him, hoping to find a trace of opposition in her expression.

However, to his dismay, Professor McGonagall seemed to agree with Sebastian's suggestion, even showing a hint of anticipation.

This was frustrating...

He just wanted to be a headmaster quietly, strolling around, teasing Fawkes, and then relaxing with some cockroach clusters, pondering philosophical questions.

Unexpectedly, even this small wish seemed difficult to achieve.

This Sebastian really knows how to find work for him.

Dumbledore coughed lightly, trying to婉转拒绝: "Sebastian, I greatly appreciate your enthusiasm and creativity for teaching reform."

"Defense Against the Dark Arts is one of the most challenging courses at Hogwarts, and its special circumstances do require a professor to create a sample lesson plan."

"But I am not the right person for that, after all, I have not been personally involved in teaching for many years."

"I think it would be very appropriate to give this job to Remus Lupin, or to Severus."

"Severus basically substitutes for Defense Against the Dark Arts every year, preparing lesson plans must be easy for him."

Lupin and Snape?

He really knows how to use people!

Sebastian couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Giving it to Snape is no problem, with his fanaticism for Defense Against the Dark Arts, he might even actively take the job.

However, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor for the next academic year is Lupin, and with their broken relationship, there's no way Lupin would willingly refer to Snape's lesson plan.

Moreover, let Snape off the hook, this guy is already tired enough.

As for giving it to Lupin, that's even more unreliable.

It's not that Lupin's level is not good, the key is that Lupin has no reputation in the education world and cannot convince the public.

This sample lesson plan is going to be passed down.

Because of the special nature of Defense Against the Dark Arts, only Dumbledore can hold the ground, no one else will do.

As if he had anticipated Dumbledore's answer, Sebastian smiled slightly and praised him greatly.

"You say you are not suitable, that is too modest."

"Who doesn't know that you are the strongest wizard in the magical world today."

"A mere Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson plan is simply a piece of cake for you."

"I am even certain that no one can compare to you in your understanding of Defense Against the Dark Arts."

Dumbledore sighed slightly in his heart as he listened to these words.

If he really refused again, it would seem a bit irresponsible.

Sebastian seemed to sense Dumbledore's hesitation and continued, seeing the opportunity.

"Unlike other professors, you don't have to put a lot of effort into it every year, just spend two days this summer, and you can give future professors a clear direction."

"You don't even need to undertake all the detailed work, just design a framework."

"However, this framework needs to be designed carefully, it is best to stipulate all the teaching content and teaching plans."

"The specific teaching steps can be adjusted and filled by the professors themselves."

"Of course, the supplemented lesson plan still needs to be reviewed by you, after all, as professors, we need to be responsible for the students."

"Think about it, under the premise that the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor changes every year, only your sample lesson plan can convince the public, no one else can."

"Albus," Professor McGonagall also spoke to persuade, "I think Sebastian is right, you should take over this job."

Dumbledore calculated in his heart and showed a helpless smile: "I will seriously write a sample lesson plan during this holiday."

"Do you have anything else, Sebastian?"

Sebastian breathed a sigh of relief and said sincerely.

"Headmaster, there is actually a deeper reason for asking you to write the lesson plan."

Deeper reason?

Dumbledore became interested and looked at Sebastian through his half-moon glasses.

"You know, last academic year, I also served as a professor in the Auror training class."

"I found that students have a big problem, they have too little knowledge of dark magic, and they have not learned enough ways to fight against dark magic."

"This content should have been the teaching content of Defense Against the Dark Arts."

Looking at the two professors, Sebastian said in a low voice.

"In theory, in Defense Against the Dark Arts, students should see some dark magic and learn how to effectively resist dark magic."

"However, due to the sensitivity of dark magic, every year professors will have a mentality of seeking no merit but seeking no fault, avoiding showing students dark magic, and instead focusing the teaching on fighting against dark creatures."

"I think this is a case of throwing the baby out with the bathwater."

"Headmaster," Sebastian said with a serious face, "You know, Voldemort will make a comeback, and by then, his subordinates will use dark magic unscrupulously."

"Our students must learn how to deal with different dark magic techniques and learn how to protect themselves."

"I request you to add all the content to deal with dark magic in the process of writing the lesson plan."

"At the very least, this part of the content should be open to sixth and seventh grade students."

Hearing this, Dumbledore was slightly moved.

Dark magic!

Sebastian is considering very deeply!

This is indeed a sensitive issue, and he would not necessarily be able to rest assured if other professors came.

It seems that he has to write the sample lesson plan himself.

After confirming this, Dumbledore no longer had any doubts in his mind, and took the initiative to discuss the details of expanding the number of professors with Professor McGonagall and Sebastian.

Since Hogwarts has ample funds, Dumbledore waved his hand generously and said like a cloud of heroism.

Recruit!

Recruit professors boldly.

The preliminary goals are as follows: For compulsory courses, add two more teaching professors for each course, and be sure to ensure that students can receive one-on-one guidance.

For elective courses, add one professor to each course as appropriate.

If it is a special course, such as Defense Against the Dark Arts, if professors cannot be recruited, continue to maintain the original teaching system, and let the professors work harder and still be responsible for the teaching work of the seven grades.

"Okay, Sebastian, let's discuss here today."

As the sky darkened, Dumbledore rubbed his eyebrows and said.

"I also need to inform the professors, I will contact you by letter for the specific details."

"When the time comes, I will trouble you to let Swann Media publish the recruitment advertisement."
