Hogwarts: A Chinese-Style Professor

Chapter 291 Big Job
The last night of the winter festival.

At Li Wei's suggestion, a huge bonfire was set up above the Black Lake.

The students were scattered around Black Lake.

There was no fixed procedure; the house-elves simply carried hot drinks through the crowd.

The students chatted freely, gazing up at the starry sky.

Finally, the Sorting Hat was placed on a high platform and led the singing of the school song.

Hogwarts

Hogwarts

Please teach us knowledge.

No matter we are bald old people
The child still had a sprained knee.
our minds can accept

Some interesting things
At this moment, no one complained about the Sorting Hat's unpleasant voice.

Because his voice was drowned out by hundreds of joyful songs, the giant squid rose from the center of the black lake, accompanied by the waves, and spun freely in time with the singing.

Amidst the children's reluctant gazes, Dumbledore appeared and offered a few concluding words of advice.

The winter celebrations have come to an end.

A new month has arrived.

Students and professors emerged from the festive atmosphere and began to immerse themselves in new studies and work.

For the professors, this was easy—everyone was more motivated after seeing the children's excellence and smiles.

The professors of elective courses have also started to make an effort—although they are not planning to combine classes to add courses—this is a consensus they have reached privately.

They believe that children already have enough to learn, and if elective courses are also combined into one class, the pressure on the children will be too great.

However, they believe it is still very necessary to let them learn some knowledge independently through the guide and refine the content of the class.

After all, as professors at Hogwarts, their level of expertise was something most students would never be able to reach in the future.

However, the situation has obviously changed now. If you don't prepare your lessons well, you may encounter some embarrassing situations—such as the day's content being learned by students in advance.

Or, students might ask questions that are clearly well thought out, but are still quite tricky.
However, the professors were happy with this—it made teaching more challenging and brought a lot of fun to their work, which had become somewhat tedious and monotonous.

The unique characteristic of Hogwarts students today, who only begin learning elective courses from scratch in their third and fifth years, is that they bring a constant stream of surprises to their elective course professors.

While the professors were highly motivated, the students seemed somewhat rather lazy.

In particular, when the students returned from their holidays, their faces filled with envy and resentment, they couldn't help but start talking about the seven-day celebration.

This certainly drove the students who missed it even more crazy, but it also created another problem.

The ongoing discussion brought them back into that situation, making it difficult for them to escape from it.

While daydreaming in History of Magic class, the students began to anticipate what Professor Levi would bring them this month...

This semester, he made some "big news" announcements every month. After the students were shocked three times in a row, they had no tolerance for it and were even more eager to see what would happen next.

And the other side.
Just as they expected, Levi took the paper he had completed during the celebration period and approached Professor McGonagall.

"Li Wei, welcome!"

Professor McGonagall was delighted to see Levi visit her office—she only acted this way in private, otherwise others would think she was overly enthusiastic. The Vice-Headmaster of Hogwarts wasn't one to easily dictate terms based on personal relationships.

"Hello, Professor McGonagall."

Li Wei greeted them, his expression subtly shifting.

Unlike the certainty he showed when he assured Dumbledore.

Although he was more than 50% confident that he could persuade the other party, he was still a little nervous. He didn't want to have any unpleasantness with Professor McGonagall, not at all.

However, given the other party's rigid attitude, despite Li Wei's...

"Professor McGonagall."

Instead of directly presenting his proposal to the other party, Li Wei first laid the groundwork:

"I've come here today because there's an important matter I'd like to ask for your opinion on."

"important things?"

Upon hearing this, Professor McGonagall's relaxed expression immediately turned serious, and the corners of her mouth, which had been slightly upturned, turned down.

Anything that Li Wei considers important must be extraordinary.

The other party has made so many suggestions and features over the past three months, but they have never once described them as important!
"What specific aspects are you referring to?"

Her seriousness made Li Wei uneasy. If she had made such a suggestion at the beginning of the semester, he probably wouldn't have felt any pressure.

But does caring now mean that being concerned makes people feel restricted? Like Dumbledore being limited by 'love'?
Li Wei subconsciously began to analyze the reasons for his inner timidity, and said:

"Uh—it's related to teaching."

"teaching?"

Professor McGonagall's pupils widened slightly, her serious expression vanished instantly, and she even looked somewhat amused.

"You have a new teaching plan again? Why don't you just show it to me?" Professor McGonagall stood up and stepped forward to take the parchment from Levi's hand. "I even agreed to the combined class arrangement. Doesn't that prove my support for you?"

"This time is a little different."

Nevertheless, having already made the decision, Li Wei naturally couldn't turn back.

Following Professor McGonagall's questioning gaze, he handed her the manuscript. "Please sit down and take a look."

Professor McGonagall gave Levi a strange look, but obediently sat back down in her seat.

The moment her gaze fell on the title, her relaxed expression immediately turned serious again—like a wave that had temporarily receded, only to surge back even more violently.

"A Feasibility Study on Incorporating Defense Against the Dark Arts Advanced Course into Fifth Grade Education"

Professor McGonagall's fingers tightened sharply around the edge of the parchment, her knuckles turning white.

She suddenly looked up at Li Wei, her eyes behind her square glasses filled with disbelief and astonishment, as well as a hint of barely suppressed anger. Dark magic? Hadn't Li Wei already given up on studying dark magic?
Why has it started again now? And why are we even teaching it to students?
Professor McGonagall's lips were pressed tightly together, and the lines of her jaw were taut.

Faced with her sharp gaze, Li Wei did not look away, but calmly accepted her scrutiny. There was no provocation in his eyes, only his insistence on waiting for her to finish reading his argument.

The warm atmosphere in the office seemed to drop to freezing point instantly.
