Liu Yue Zhi Yuan Fei
While chatting with people from the Wizarding Examinations Administration, Douglas keenly discovered that these professors had intentionally or unintentionally revealed a piece of information that the Ministry of Magic had great opinions on the education at Hogwarts.
Even so, the people of the Wizarding Examinations Administration didn't seem to care much about the Ministry of Magic's opinion.
Suddenly Douglas had an idea, but this idea needs to be communicated with Professor Dumbledore sometime.
Apart from the people from the Wizarding Examinations Administration, there were also reporters and photographers arranged by the Daily Prophet who participated in the Hogwarts exams outside the school.
The OWL and NEWT exam weeks come almost every year. Douglas took a look and didn't know this reporter.
All exam procedures are the same, written exam in the morning, practical exam in the afternoon, Defense Against the Dark Arts will not be tested until Thursday.These few days, the magic self-study room is unprecedentedly full. Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick are teaching the fifth and seventh grades in the magic self-study room almost after class.
The professors of the Wizarding Administration gave different evaluations after visiting the magic study room.
Some professors feel that hanging inspirational banners in the study room is really helpful to urge students to study independently.
Some professors believe that wizards rely on talent, no matter how hard they push, without talent, they still can't become an outstanding wizard.
After the herbal medicine exam on the first day, Douglas found Professor McGonagall and came to the principal's office together, and told them his thoughts.
"From the conversation with the professor of the Wizarding Examinations Authority today, I got a piece of information that the Ministry of Magic has some opinions on Hogwarts.
The Ministry of Magic seems to think that Hogwarts has become Professor Dumbledore's private territory, because of his influence, few outstanding graduates in these years have chosen to serve the Ministry of Magic. "
In fact, the reality is not so serious. There are still many outstanding graduates who choose the Ministry of Magic every year.
After all, in the magic world, working for the Ministry of Magic can be said to be the best choice.
But Fudge, Minister of Magic, needs some young wizards who are loyal to him to gradually replace some old people in the ministry, which will help him get rid of Dumbledore's influence, so he secretly finds some Dumbledore problems.
According to the professors from those departments, Fudge complained privately many times that Dumbledore was getting old, and the Defense Against the Dark Arts professors he was looking for were getting more and more incompetent.
Although Dumbledore didn't care what Fudge said, Douglas couldn't help it.
Considering that Dumbledore and Fudge are still in the honeymoon period on the surface, some slanderous words were not said.
After hearing what Douglas said, Dumbledore blinked and said with a smile:
"I think every wizard who graduates from Hogwarts has the freedom to choose his own future."
Douglas shrugged and said helplessly:
"That's why the Ministry of Magic felt that there was something wrong with Hogwarts education.
I guess they are likely to look for opportunities to install their own people in Hogwarts, train students in line with their own ideas, and it is even necessary for their people to become the headmaster of Hogwarts, so as to control Hogwarts in the Ministry of Magic hands. "
Professor McGonagall snorted and said:
"Dirty politicians' thinking, Hogwarts is a place for young wizards to study, and the headmaster can't be elected by anyone who wants to be."
Immediately afterwards, Professor McGonagall frowned and looked at Douglas:
"I don't remember that you have been to the Ministry of Magic. Why do you have such politicians' conspiracy theories?"
Douglas looked towards the ceiling and sighed a long way:
"Where there are people, there is politics!"
Dumbledore felt that Douglas's appearance was very interesting, but he said something comfortingly:
"As far as I know, Fudge won't do that. When dealing with the basilisk, he also said that because this is Hogwarts, the Aurors will also obey Hogwarts' arrangements."
Douglas was speechless, and he didn't know whether Dumbledore was too confident in his abilities, or Fudge would flatter him too much.
He thinks it is very likely to be the latter, and he even suspects that the reason why Fudge came to power is probably because Dumbledore backed him in the first place.
After all, he wrote to Dumbledore every day to ask for advice and help, so blatantly borrowed Dumbledore's prestige and influence. If Dumbledore hadn't acquiesced, Fudge would not have been able to sit firmly as the Minister of Magic for more than ten years.
Thinking of this, Douglas didn't intend to go around in circles anymore, and directly expressed his thoughts:
"Actually, I want to publish a set of "Seven Years of NEWT and Five Years of OWL" for all those who teach the United Wizarding Examinations Authority at Hogwarts."
Looking at the puzzled two, Douglas explained:
""Seven Years of NEWT and Five Years of OWL" will include eight compulsory Hogwarts courses, six elective courses, and several years of NEWT and OWL exam questions. There are not only theoretical parts in the exam questions, but also practical exam requirements.
With this set of questions, our fifth and seventh graders will review with goals before the exam. "
Professor McGonagall looked a little unhappy, and said dissatisfiedly:
"Douglas, what's the difference between your behavior and cheating? The content of the exam is in the textbook. They just need to memorize every content in the textbook honestly and practice every spell taught by the professor. The exam will be very important to them. There will be no problem."
Douglas asked:
"Professor McGonagall, Hogwarts has implemented the monthly exam system for one semester, what do you think of the effect?"
Professor McGonagall thought for a while and said:
"The effect is very good. After almost every exam, they can know exactly where their weak points are, and they can also find out in time which students have not fully mastered a certain transgender technique.
I think at least there should be no low-level magic mistakes in this owls exam. Both Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout have praised this method to me.
But the problem now is that just posing questions will take up a lot of professors' time. "
Douglas said:
"That's why I thought of cooperating with people from the Wizarding Examinations Administration. They have a ready-made question bank, and our professors are mainly as questioners.
Because the old question bank has been used, they need to come up with a new set of questions every year, so that the questions of "Seven Years of NEWT and Five Years of OWL" will be updated every year.
The most important point is that each of these professors from the Wizarding Examinations Administration has other identities in the magic world, and they can come up with some current topics based on the current status of the magic world.
Our professors will also pay attention to the latest news in the magic world, but we may still have some shortcomings in the application of work practice.
Of course, the most important point is that in the future, we don't have to make our own questions. "
Dumbledore glanced at Professor McGonagall who was meditating, then picked up a candy and put it in his mouth, and winked at Douglas.
Douglas smiled awkwardly. He found that it was better to go directly to Professor McGonagall for this kind of thing. Dumbledore didn't care much about teaching.
Professor McGonagall came back to his senses and asked:
"I don't think the Hogwarts professors will refuse this matter, but how are you sure that the people from the Wizarding Examinations Administration will agree to this matter?"
Douglas chuckled, isn't this the point of the question?
"This requires suggestions from Headmaster Dumbledore and the Minister of Magic. I think Minister Fudge will definitely agree with the headmaster's suggestion."
Dumbledore nodded, and although he had candy in his mouth, he still said clearly:
"I will suggest this matter with Fudge, and we also respect their choice, if they are not willing..."
Douglas quickly said: "Then let's forget about it, I will only use this method in Defense Against the Dark Arts class in the future!"
Professor McGonagall gave him a dissatisfied look, saying that the other professors were lazy, but she also understood Douglas' kindness.
In recent years, the teaching level of some courses at Hogwarts has indeed declined sharply, which has led to the fact that the magic level of many employees of the Ministry of Magic is indeed getting lower and lower. This is not the first time that the Ministry of Magic has complained about such things, if it is not because Dumbledore is here, maybe the Ministry of Magic has already intervened in the management of Hogwarts.
The purpose of Douglas' proposal this time is also very simple. Since the Ministry of Magic wants to intervene in the management of Hogwarts, it is better to open a hole within them.
Because "Seven Years of NEWT and Five Years of OWL" is equivalent to an internal teaching material placed by the Ministry of Magic in Hogwarts education, and it is completely under the control of the Ministry of Magic, so they can take the opportunity to mix their own thoughts in it.
However, there are policies above and countermeasures below, and the interpretation of the test questions is in the hands of Hogwarts professors.
And in doing so, they would only backfire, turning students against some of the Ministry's actions.
Another reason is to focus their attention on the Wizarding Examinations Administration within the Ministry of Magic. Maybe there will be no disgusting Hogwarts Senior Investigator incident in the future, but one of the senior investigators of the Wizarding Examinations Administration. Category.
In short, use the Wizarding Examinations Authority as a buffer zone between Hogwarts and the Minister of Magic.
The only variable is the attitude of the Ministry of Magic after Voldemort's resurrection, but there are still two years left for this matter, and a solution can be found slowly.
Even so, the people of the Wizarding Examinations Administration didn't seem to care much about the Ministry of Magic's opinion.
Suddenly Douglas had an idea, but this idea needs to be communicated with Professor Dumbledore sometime.
