Hogwarts professor in Marvel

At this moment, Lockhart looked at Ms. Pince, the Hogwarts librarian, who was sitting at a desk not far away.

Just walk straight ahead.

Although Lockhart tried to control his steps, not wanting his footsteps to affect others, he also did not want to desecrate the sacred library in his mind.

But it still made Ms. Pince, who had a keen hearing, look up.

"Professor Lockhart, what book are you looking for?"

Ms. Pince, who was tall and pretty and wearing a dark green wizard robe, asked curiously.

She was quite curious about the newly appointed professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

The other person came to the library on the first day of class, which is enough to show his love for knowledge.

This made Ms. Pince, who loved reading, feel favorable towards Lockhart.

Not to mention the other person's handsome face.

Especially since the other party is from Ravenclaw, which symbolizes wisdom.

She was also a witch from Ravenclaw, but later worked as a librarian in Hogwarts.

"Ms. Pince, you must have worked as a librarian for many years."

"I would like to ask if there is any in the library, or if you have compiled a catalog of the library's books. I would like to have a general idea of ​​the distribution of books in the entire library."

Madam Pince was stunned when she heard Lockhart's request.

It was the first time she heard someone want to see the list of all the books.

Most professors would either ask her directly where the book is, or ask her if she has any books to recommend, or at most ask her to make a list of recommendations.

No one ever directly asks for a catalogue listing of the entire library.

It’s not that you can’t have this, it’s just that it doesn’t make much sense.

After all, there are just too many books.

If you need a book, just ask her directly. She is very familiar with the location of every book in the library.

Seeing that Madam Pince was stunned, Lockhart repeated his request again with a hint of certainty in his tone.

"Ms. Pince, do you have a catalog of all the books in the library?"

Hearing Lockhart's question again, Ms. Pince came back to her senses, looked at Lockhart in front of her, and asked somewhat uncontrollably:

"Professor Lockhart, do you know how many books there are in the Hogwarts library?"

Chapter 41 Lockhart's reading method! ! (Seeking follow-up reading, investment, and recommendation votes)

Lockhart's office.

Lockhart sat at the desk in his office, slowly flipping through the thick Hogwarts book list on the desk.

I was very excited and a bright smile appeared on my face.

Ms. Pince didn't quite understand Lockhart's request.

But in response to a professor’s very reasonable request, she pulled out a list of books she had carefully compiled.

This is the basic quality of a professional librarian.

Well, it was definitely not because of Lockhart’s handsome appearance, but purely because I was moved by his passion for knowledge.

After Lockhart received the list, he thanked him and returned to his office to study it slowly.

As a university professor, he read a lot of books.

He knew very well that he could go into a library, find a place to sit down, and pick up a seemingly high-end book to read.

Such behavior is inefficient.

He even felt that it was a waste of time.

When he reads a book, he first looks at the author. What research results has the author achieved? What remarkable things has he done?

If so, it means that as long as the other party writes the book seriously, the quality and quantity are at least guaranteed.

The second thing is to look at the table of contents of this book.

The quality of a book can be judged largely by its table of contents.

Through the table of contents, you can quickly understand what the book is about and what it covers.

Even the essence of a book can be determined by looking at the table of contents.

If you compare the Hogwarts Library to a book.

There is no need to pay attention to the author of this book, he is definitely the best in the world.

Who in the world can collect more books, teach more students, and produce more powerful people than Hogwarts?

So, for Lockhart, he needed to know the catalog of this book in the Hogwarts Library, which is a list of all the books in Hogwarts.

Through the list, he can quickly understand the books in the entire Hogwarts library.

More importantly, he could use this list to understand the changes in the wizarding world over the past 1600 years.

Whether it is spells, potions, alchemy or other fields, the development of wizard civilization over the years can be judged by the titles of these books.

because.....

The title of a book is a core introduction to the entire book!

For example, Lockhart just saw a book from 1340, "Subverting the Concept of Potions: The Importance of Wizard Will" written by the famous potion master Susannah Gina.

Just by looking at the title of this book, you can tell that in the 14th century, wizard civilization probably had a breakthrough in the field of potions.

Let's take a look at the potion books from 1340 years ago - "On the 18 Methods of Making Potions", "Detailed Explanation of 72 Potions", "Grasping the Timing of Making Potions", etc.

It soon became clear that before the 14th century, the making of potions was probably limited to techniques, medicinal materials, and so on.

Not much attention is paid to the wizard's emotions and will.

Nowadays, emotions and will are very important to wizards. Even Lockhart, who is a novice in potions, understands their importance.

This is the changing of the times and the development of history.

From this list of famous books, Lockhart can fully estimate the development and changes in various fields of the entire wizarding civilization, and even simply speculate on future development trends.

This is the difference between a specialized scholar and an ordinary person reading a book.

It is a complete iteration of concepts and a dimensionality reduction attack on cognition.

If an ordinary wizard saw so many books, he would have been dazzled by them and would probably be immersed in the ocean of knowledge and unable to extricate himself.

In the end, even if he walked out of the entire Hogwarts Library, he would probably gain very little.

after all.....

There are too many books and too much knowledge.

The world knows infinite things, only the similarities and differences can be recognized!!!

Hogwarts, Headmaster's Office.

Dumbledore, wearing half-moon glasses, sat on his huge desk, silently listening to Professor McGonagall, who was wearing a dark green wizard robe, reporting on the start of the school year opposite him.

"Gryffindor House has seen another drop in points, and the reason is still the Weasley twins."

Professor McGonagall complained and continued to report: "Principal, school has just started for three days. The school's food fund reserves currently total 146 gold Galleons."

"The Ministry of Magic and the school board allocated 600 coins at the end of the month, which is enough for all the young wizards to spend this year, and a portion can be reserved for the cultivation of magical plants."

Seeing Dumbledore nod gently, Professor McGonagall continued.

"Regarding the teacher's fund, each professor will receive a monthly salary of 50 gold Galleons, and at the end of the year they will receive a bonus worth 100 gold Galleons." Professor McGonagall continued expressionlessly, "Headmaster, will the year-end bonus be paid directly in the form of gold Galleons or purchased in the form of corresponding items?"

Dumbledore thought for a moment and said gently, "Let's change to gold Galleons this year. Last year, we distributed the items, but I felt that Snape and the others had a mediocre attitude."

"Okay, Headmaster." Professor McGonagall picked up the quill next to her and quickly wrote it down, then continued to report, "Regarding Professor Lockhart, he proposed to the students to have a monthly test and reward outstanding students in class yesterday."

"He told me that he would personally prepare the corresponding reward. However, Lockhart said that the school is willing to provide a production fund, which would be the best."

After hearing this, Dumbledore smiled, nodded silently, and said nothing.

Professor McGonagall did not repeat herself and continued to report on matters related to the start of school.

In response to Lockhart's request, Professor McGonagall said:

What a fart!

He had promised himself and wanted the school to provide funding. The gold Galleons at Hogwarts didn't just come out of thin air.

That was a donation from the Ministry of Magic and the school board.

Besides, you said you want to reward outstanding students, so the school will certainly welcome it.

but.....

Since you said so, don't expect the school to take this responsibility.

Otherwise, if the school is expected to bear the responsibility for whatever the professors say in the future, how much of a loss will the school suffer?

Professor McGonagall, who is always strict in her work and is known as the vice-principal of Hogwarts, has a different attitude towards school funding.

She said that she would attach great importance to it and would not let a single gold galleon go to waste.

Well, as long as it didn't cost Hogwarts money, she always approved of it.

Then, Professor McGonagall reported to Dumbledore one by one the matters and problems related to the opening of school.

Basically, she came up with her own solutions to most of the problems, and Dumbledore did not veto her, but nodded silently in agreement.

Professor McGonagall was very accustomed to Dumbledore's attitude - because this had been the procedure for all these years.

Basically all matters, big or small, at Hogwarts had to go through her hands. When problems arose, she would report them to Dumbledore for the final decision.

Dumbledore trusted Professor McGonagall very much and he basically did not interfere in the affairs of Hogwarts.

But Professor McGonagall still expressed her respect for the headmaster and would report to Headmaster Dumbledore at the beginning of each month.

suddenly!

Dumbledore heard Professor McGonagall say.

"Madam Pince indicated that Professor Lockhart asked him for a catalogue of the library's books yesterday."

"She thinks that the book list can be made into a magical item that can automatically tell the corresponding location of the book according to the professor's needs, which can reduce her work pressure."

"So I want to apply to the school to refine magic items."

"My personal suggestion is that you can give it a try. It would be a bit difficult for Madam Pince to manage the school library alone."

After hearing this, Dumbledore did not move, but just kept thinking with his eyes narrowed.

Professor McGonagall was a little surprised by this. This kind of thing should be worth doing. It would only benefit the school and would not have any disadvantages.

Then....

I heard the first question Dumbledore asked today:

"You just said that Professor Lockhart asked Madam Pince for a catalogue of the library's books, didn't you?"

Thanks to Shuyu Fenfei, Buqiju and other readers for their recommendation votes (there are too many people who voted for the recommendation, so I will list a separate chapter to thank them later. Thank you all for your support again)

Sorry, the timing is wrong.

"You just said that Professor Lockhart asked Madam Pince for a catalogue of the library's books, didn't you?"

Facing Dumbledore's question, Professor McGonagall nodded and asked curiously, "What's the matter, Headmaster? Is there a problem?"

"No problem, go on, Minerva."

In response to Professor McGonagall's curiosity, Headmaster Dumbledore smiled gently and gestured for him to continue reporting.

During the following report, Professor McGonagall clearly felt that Dumbledore was a little absent-minded.

But due to Dumbledore's previous rejection, there was no performance.
