Hogwarts: A Chinese-Style Professor

Chapter 225 Being a professor is fine, but being a beast of burden is not.
Harry and Levi stayed until dawn before leaving.

Both of them were calm.

Sirius personally saw them out and told his godson that he would recover soon, in just one week.

He and Kreacher stood together in the open doorway, waving their arms at Levi and Harry.

Harry turned to look at the scene, and a smile gradually appeared on his lips as he recalled Sirius's behavior when he took him to the mansion last time.

An emotion far beyond 'calm' welled up from his heart, warming his entire body—he felt his magic become calmer and more powerful than ever before.

Just like Professor Li Wei.
"Are we skipping practice this time and going straight back?"

Li Wei seemed to still be caught up in the emotions from earlier, and his words were rather brief.

"Ah."

Harry nodded, his eyes filled with determination.

He had a premonition that his followers' manifestation would no longer pose a problem for him.

"Snapped!"

Amidst the sound of firecrackers, the two left London, England, and returned to the outskirts of Hogsmeade Village, 'running' back to the castle in the dim light of dawn.

"This is a calming medicine. Drink it and get a good night's sleep."

"Thank you, Professor—goodbye," Harry said goodbye to Levi, his footsteps making a "thump-thump-thump" sound on the stairs.

Suddenly, he turned around and stopped to look at Li Wei.

"Thank you for taking me away from school today, teacher."

"Okay—go ahead."

Li Wei waved goodbye to Harry with a smile—but after Harry left, he walked alone in the corridor and suddenly realized how 'disgusting' his smile was.

This made Li Wei unable to help but examine himself.

Could it be that he actually enjoys being a teacher?

Li Wei quickly dismissed the idea.

Because he realized that he actually needed rest more than Harry—being a professor was fine, but being a workhorse professor was a bit too much of a problem.

He had only slept for less than three hours after drinking the sedative when he was woken up by Qiao Weili—the other man was still warm, as if he had just finished exercising.

"Professor—you're going to a teacher's lecture today, have you forgotten?"

At Joey's subtle reminder, Levi remembered what he had promised Professor McGonagall—he would give a small lecture within the professors' circle to talk about his teaching philosophy and insights.

"Yes—thank you for reminding me."

Li Wei snapped out of his daze, casually cast a cleansing spell on himself, dressed neatly, and walked out of the office.

Although brief, he got a good rest—this occasional all-nighter didn't put much strain on his mental health.

But the feeling of being overwhelmed on a Saturday was somewhat subtle, and Li Wei looked a little tired when he left the office.

But he will definitely get Professor McGonagall's matter sorted out.

The speech was prepared well in advance—although I could recite it without even looking at it.

Li Wei went to the empty classroom on the third floor and arrived a minute before he was late. As soon as he walked in, a professor greeted him warmly. He was sitting on a chair propped up with books and waving his little hand at Li Wei.

It was obvious at a glance that it was Professor Flitwick. At the same time, a chilling feeling emanated from the corner, as if being watched by something ominous—Levi glanced around and, sure enough, it was Snape.

Didn't he break off all ties with me? Why is he still here to listen to my lecture?

Li Wei turned his gaze again and saw a somewhat unfamiliar professor looking at him—after their eyes met, she gently waved her hand.

It is Professor Kerridy Bubbaggie, who is in charge of Muggle Studies.

Li Wei was somewhat surprised, but didn't pay much attention—after Professor McGonagall gave an opening speech, she began to share her teaching philosophy.

It's the same old content, nothing more than using a scientific perspective to discover and summarize everything, even he himself is getting tired of saying it.

However, his theory was still very novel to other professors. During the lecture, professors would occasionally exclaim in surprise, as if Livy had said something groundbreaking and groundbreaking.

It was at this moment that Professor Bubbaje spoke up—"Professor Levi, I'd like to know if your educational philosophy was learned from the public school education of Muggles?"

Li Wei instantly understood why the other person had viewed him that way earlier—she must have found some commonalities between his theories and those of Muggles, which was what she studied, so naturally she would be interested.

That's quite rare.

To earn credits and keep up with the school, Levi enrolled in an elective course in Muggle Studies, but the result was rather disastrous—the magical world's understanding of Muggles was riddled with misconceptions, to put it mildly.

For example, the magical world believes that the incredibly enduring dwarf humans known as postmen are specially trained by Muggles to deliver messages over long distances on foot or by riding simple two-wheeled wooden horses (bicycles).

They also felt that this was a unique magical alternative that Muggles had been forced to develop due to a lack of magic, and their words were full of superiority.

However, there was no mention of the actual postal system, telephone, or even radio.

Furthermore, they believed that Muggle electric lights were a dangerous technology that imprisoned fragments of lightning in glass bubbles, and solemnly warned students that Muggles therefore lived at the risk of being “potentially devoured by the miniature lightning they had tamed.”

They had absolutely no concept of power grids, power generation principles, or safe electricity use.

Professor Bubbaji was able to reach the previous conclusion because he had promptly learned about new things and updated his ideas.

Li Wei approved of this behavior and chatted with her briefly at the end of the lecture.

After seeing her off, Professor McGonagall came up again, all smiles, her face no longer showing any of her former sharpness.

She's becoming more and more satisfied with Li Wei.

“What you said is excellent—I think everyone will benefit from your lecture; you’ve done a great thing.”

“You’re exaggerating, Professor McGonagall.”

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two walked out of the office to go for a meal, when Hagrid—who should now be called Professor Hagrid—came up and stammered to Levi:

"Li Wei, there are many things you just said that I didn't understand. Could you explain them to me in more detail?"

Seeing this, Professor McGonagall secretly gave Levi a look—this is a good opportunity, you should put in a good word for me.

"What exactly is it that you don't understand?"

Levi invited Hagrid to have dinner with him.

"I understand what you mean by preparing teaching materials in advance, but isn't it enough to just prepare teaching aids in advance?"

"Of course not, Hagrid, especially when your teaching aids are all living things."

Li Wei pinched the bridge of his nose and began to explain it to him in detail.
