A week has passed in the blink of an eye, and Konno's first weekend at Hogwarts will soon be ushered in
He didn't waste this week in vain. When he visited each floor and each classroom, he experienced a variety of teaching methods, which can be said to be very rewarding.
Severus Snape, the Potions professor, was the only one there. Among all the teachers, his class was the most tormented.
It can be said that apart from the students of Slytherin College, the experience of the other three colleges in Snape's classroom can basically be equated with those prisoners in Azkaban.
This kind of classroom atmosphere also has an advantage. The students are very obedient. After the whole class, the students are immersed in cooking the potion, and they rarely even whisper to each other.
As the dean of Slytherin House, Snape not only favored his own house, but also treated Gryffindor's house worse than Hufflepuff and the two houses.
A very simple example, whenever a Slytherin student gains points, there must be deductions for Gryffindor students.
Especially the freshman named Harry Potter in Gryffindor College. In the Potions class on Friday, Snape asked Harry a few out-of-class questions, which caused Gryffindor to lose again. Fraction.
In this regard, Kong Nuo can only call the experts directly.
Of course, Snape's behavior would also make other teachers feel dissatisfied. Except for the necessary communication at work, few teachers would take the initiative to talk to Snape.
However, with an extremely cold teacher like Snape, there will be two extremely friendly teachers like Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout.
Naturally, Flitwick didn't need to say much. Since Dumbledore introduced him to Konno at the beginning of school, the two hit it off quickly. Flitwick would take the initiative to explain many things about Hogwarts to Konno.
Sprout is also good to say, she has a rosy face and smiles all day long, and she is a very kind witch.
On Monday afternoon, Konno visited the Gryffindor-Hufflepuff Herbs class.
When get out of class was over, Sprout gave him pots of magic lavender to keep in his bedroom.
This magic lavender has a light and elegant scent, and its fragrance has a calming magic power, which is very suitable for use as a sleep aid.
Sprout has a deep knowledge of herbal medicine, which can be called an encyclopedia of herbal medicine.In this regard, Kong Nuo also has a lot in common with Sprout.
Those herbs that Kong Nuo didn't understand would go to the greenhouse to ask Sprout for advice.Sprout also knows everything, and will tell him all the effects of various magical herbs.
With so many subjects at Hogwarts, not all teachers are that interesting.
For example, Professor Binns, who is in charge of the History of Magic class, is the only ghost teacher in the school and the longest-standing ghost teacher in Hogwarts. He is very boring.
It is obviously a ghost, and it is a subject that teaches the history of magic so rich in connotation. Two such interesting things add up, but...why make the history of magic a supplementary sleep class?
Professor Binns lectures as he exists—deadly.
Whether it is about bloody history such as the goblin rebellion, or a historic event such as the "International Federation of Wizards Secrecy Act", every word Professor Binns utters can be done without emotional fluctuations. A stick reading machine that gets emotions.
Connor seriously doubts that Professor Binns has been working since the founding of Hogwarts until now. It must be because Professor Binns is a ghost, so Hogwarts does not need to pay him a penny of salary.
To sum it up in one simple word: cheap!
And Professor Trelawney, who is in charge of divination on the top floor of Hogwarts Castle, is also a difficult person to get along with.
Trelawney is thin and wears a pair of high-prescription glasses, which make Trelawney's pupils stand out.
She wears all kinds of jewelry on her body, and with her messy hair, she looks neurotic.
One thing to say, this kind of temperament is quite in line with the position of a divination professor.
Connor saw the various necklaces on Trelawney's neck, the rows of bracelets and rings on her arms and palms, and suddenly worried whether these decorations would overwhelm Trelawney's fragile body.
However, when Trelawney greeted him in that soft, muffled voice, all of Connor's worries were swept out of his head.
He still remembers that Trelawney grabbed his hand and said something like this during the divination class on Tuesday: "Professor Kong! It's terrible! Why are you still in this world? I can see the scar on your forehead." Empty! There are also terrible phantoms from hell, from that world that does not belong to this world! You should not exist in this world!"
Kong Nuo's face darkened at that time, and it was the first time he met someone who greeted him in the way of "you are already dead".
He shared it with Flitwick and Sprout at the party on Friday night, and both grinned from ear to ear.
Flitwick took his wand to clean up the tea that had spilled on the table, while comforting him, "We've heard students say something similar before, don't worry about it, you're in better shape than everyone else, and nothing will happen."
Sprout nodded aside and said: "Yes! Professor Trelawney often gives prophecies to new faces, and they are all prophecies about death. But I... ha ha ha... it is the first time she said to the teacher Such words."
Flitwick patted Connors on the shoulder, "Don't worry, Connors! Maybe it's because you are too young, she thought you were still a student! We haven't had any young teachers in Hogwarts for almost ten years .”
"Hey!" Sprout sighed, "The only young teacher is Snape, but unfortunately he is really difficult to get along with! When I go to the lounge, there are often little guys who complain to me, obviously there is no For anything wrong, Snape will deduct five points from him."
"The same goes for Ravenclaw." Flitwick nodded approvingly. "My students are usually pretty good, but occasionally they will be deducted points for some small mistakes."
"Let's talk." Connor rubbed his chin. "He can deduct points from other houses at will. Why don't you deduct points from Slytherin students? What's the trouble?"
Flitwick shook his head, "This is a matter of principle. If we also retaliate, it will easily make the relationship between the four colleges worse!"
"Yes!" Sprout echoed, "Because of the mysterious man, the relationship between the four houses is really too tense now, and Slytherin House is almost completely isolated."
Flitwick showed a nostalgic expression, "I still remember when Dumbledore was still the teacher of Defense Against the Dark Arts, the relationship between the four colleges was still very good, I really miss it!"
