The years of welding at Hogwarts

Just like straight men can't tell the difference between lipstick shades, in Spider-Man's eyes, all those Ultramen with salty eyes look exactly the same.

So, why does something like Ultraman exist in the world of wizards?

……

The Patronus Charm is said to be an extremely difficult and advanced spell.

Its learning difficulty is far beyond the level of NEWTs exam.

But when students actually get their hands on it, they will find...

The difficulty of this magic is actually greatly exaggerated.

As an ancient and powerful magic, the Patronus Charm does not require any fancy casting gestures, nor does it have any long and complicated spells.

This magic focuses more on the spiritual power of wizards, that is, idealism.

It only requires wizards to actively mobilize a series of positive emotions such as happiness and joy in their hearts when casting it. Even if they cannot cast a complete physical patronus, they can still spray out a large cloud of thin silver mist.

With Noah taking the lead, other students in the classroom also began their own attempts.

"Call the gods to protect you!"

"Call the gods to protect you!"

The sound of chanting could be heard one after another in the classroom.

Those who are selected and invited here by Noah are all elite students. In addition, Dumbledore has taught Defense Against the Dark Arts for many years, so his teaching level is indeed extraordinary.

Among the students present, half of them were able to release a thin silver mist on their first try.

The remaining half, even if they could not succeed in one go, would be able to achieve the same level after trying a few times and replacing the memory fragments used when casting the spell.

Among them, Shirley's progress was particularly rapid.

Perhaps it was the talent for Defense Against the Dark Arts inherited from James Potter that took effect, or perhaps it was that she had indeed lived a very happy life under Snape's care over the years.

While others could only summon a thin mist, the protective light mist she summoned was about to condense into a silver cloud.

As long as she is given more time to practice, it is inevitable that she will be able to condense a physical guardian.

Even Neville's learning progress is not slow.

The process of condensing the Patronus is a bit similar to using magic power to condense a physical weapon. The experienced fat boy successfully released the Patronus spell after only two attempts.

When it was midnight, the students, at Dumbledore's urging, reluctantly finished this very interesting and beneficial class tonight.

Dumbledore is, after all, the headmaster of Hogwarts.

No matter how tolerant you are in your daily life, you may turn a blind eye to some minor violations by students.

But he could not tolerate having to watch students staying up all night in the classroom, even if they were not studying for the exam but studying seriously.

There was no look of frustration on the faces of the students emerging from the abandoned classrooms.

They gathered in twos and threes, enthusiastically discussing the content of tonight's rally and looking forward to the next Kamar-Taj rally.

Watching the members' backs disappear on the intricate staircase of Hogwarts Castle, Noah looked at the old man standing next to him.

He knew from the beginning that Dumbledore wanted to talk to him. After all, the hesitant look on the old man's face was so easy to guess.

So, he turned and left without hesitation.

"Professor Dumbledore, it's very late now. I will go back to bed."

Without giving Dumbledore any chance to persuade him to stay, he said, "It's already past curfew. Going to bed late and getting up late is not good for a child's physical growth."

Looking at Noah's nearly 1.7-meter-tall figure, Dumbledore felt like complaining.

Compared with your peers, you are now 10 to 20 centimeters taller than them.

Even standing among a group of third-grade students, she would not look out of place.

So you told me that going to bed late and getting up late is not good for physical growth?

Looking at Noah's back disappearing at the end of the corridor, Dumbledore was ultimately unable to speak.

He originally wanted to talk to Noah about something, about Noah's great-grandfather, Gellert Grindelwald.

But looking at the current situation...

Dumbledore's outstretched hand hung awkwardly in mid-air before finally falling limply back to his side.

Noah's speech in the classroom tonight was very telling.

That child should already know his own background, right?

Chapter 164: Grindelwald, when will your son die?

The success of Kamar-Taj's first convocation created quite an enthusiastic response among the students who were fortunate enough to be invited.

The next day, while enjoying breakfast in the Great Hall, other professors at Hogwarts also heard some news about Kamar-Taj from Dumbledore.

"so……"

Professor McGonagall glanced up and down the back of Dumbledore's neck with an extremely unhappy look.

"Last night, you gave lectures to students from the other three houses, teaching them how to master the Patronus Charm, but you left out Gryffindor?"

Dumbledore lowered his head silently, avoiding the gaze of the dean of his own college, and pretended to deal with the bowl of sugared pumpkin porridge seriously.

"I just wanted to see what the study group that kid created was like."

He tried to shift the blame, "I didn't interfere in their group's internal affairs. They invited and approved all the members themselves..."

Professor McGonagall certainly couldn't be easily fooled by such sophistry.

No matter how Dumbledore flatters, it cannot change the fact that he did not give special treatment to the little lion of Gryffindor.

Even Harry Potter, Dumbledore's favorite student, did not receive any extra-curricular tutoring from Dumbledore.

And Noah just asked, and Dumbledore happily went up to the stage to give a lecture?

It's about high-level magic like the Patronus Charm? ? ?

Therefore, in response to Dumbledore's sophistry, Professor McGonagall simply replied calmly.

"hehe."

The embarrassed old bee lowered his head even lower.

Last night when he was giving a lecture to the students who had joined Kamar-Taj, he didn't think so much about it for a moment.

After all, as the headmaster, whether it is Gryffindor or Slytherin, they are all students of Hogwarts.

Ignoring old Bee Dun who was about to stick his head into the pumpkin porridge, the older cat girl cast a resentful look at someone at the Slytherin table.

This child had only been living in her house for nearly a month and seemed to be very close to her, but now he didn't even invite a single Gryffindor student?

Of course, it was impossible for Professor McGonagall to blame Noah for this.

After all it wasn't Noah's fault, but Dumbledore's.

If Dumbledore had arranged Noah to be in Gryffindor, just as he had done when he sorted Harry Potter, Professor McGonagall believed that the students who were not invited to join Kamar-Taj would be students from Slytherin.

Yes! This is all Dumbledore's fault!

Thinking of this, the older cat girl's eyes turned even colder as she looked at the back of Dumbledore's neck.

Professor Flitwick, who was reaping the benefits, looked at the scene in front of him. His good-natured nature made him unable to help but step forward and try hard to mediate the dispute between the two.

"Minerva, isn't that child the assistant teacher of Transfiguration?"

Filius' words instantly awakened Professor McGonagall, the confused official.

Ever since he found himself of little use in the senior Transfiguration course, Noah had rarely appeared in Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class as a teaching assistant.

As for the lower grade Transfiguration classes, Noah had already taught those wizard apprentices who had trouble casting even a levitation spell almost everything he could.

This also made Professor McGonagall forget that Noah actually held an assistant teaching position.

The older cat girl's eyes suddenly lit up.

She temporarily let Albus go. He was disliked and despised by his own vice-headmaster. He was extremely humble but dared not refute. He looked aggrieved and pitiful. Dumbledore.

……

After breakfast, the impatient cat intercepted the future little devil at the entrance of the auditorium, who wanted to sneak into the Forbidden Forest and have fun with the game keeper Hagrid.

Also intercepted was Spider-Woman, who had just heard about the wonders of magical beasts from Noah some time ago and also planned to sneak into the Forbidden Forest and capture a few for research.

"Professor McGonagall."

Noah still respected this kind older cat lady very much. "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Professor McGonagall smiled, and from her facial expression, there was no trace of the murderous intent that had just appeared in her that seemed to want to chop a piece off the back of Dumbledore's neck.

"Can you come to my office to talk about teaching Transfiguration?"

Faced with Professor McGonagall's cordial invitation, Noah naturally would not refuse, "Of course."

"Gwen, you want to come too?"

"Okay, Professor."

three

It had not been long since they had finished breakfast, but the house-elf in the kitchen still dutifully served tea and dessert to the two people who were discussing things in the office.

Looking at the dessert in front of him, Noah, who was not as addicted to sugar as an old bee or a bat girl, waved his hand and declined the kindness of the house-elves.

"No, I just had a full meal."

The dessert on the exquisite porcelain plate in front of him disappeared immediately.

"Noah, besides dissecting animals to help students understand more about the objects to be transformed, do you have any other ways to improve students' learning efficiency in Transfiguration?"

Professor McGonagall did not ramble on about trivial matters, but went straight to the point.

Noah had thought about this question raised by Professor McGonagall before.

He was thinking seriously, organizing the language in his mind in advance.

"I think the current teaching method of Transfiguration is still too simplistic."

When this issue was raised, Noah bluntly pointed out the problem with Professor McGonagall's teaching method.

Of course, this phenomenon is not unique to Professor McGonagall. Most professors at Hogwarts have this problem when teaching.

Just like in Noah's first Transfiguration class that they had just experienced a few months ago.

How did Professor McGonagall teach these wizard apprentices who knew nothing about Transfiguration?

The simple and crude blackboard writing displays all the knowledge points about the transformation of matches into silver needles on the blackboard.

Instead of starting with the basic principles of Transfiguration, he went straight to explaining how to turn a match into a silver needle, and then had the students try their first practical exercise.

Just like calculus, instead of explaining the basic formulas needed to solve the problems, the teachers start teaching examples and tell the students that they just need to apply the formulas mechanically and they will get the results in the end.

For a course like this, unless you are extremely talented, who can turn a match into a silver needle in the first class?

According to the Transfiguration teaching plan at Hogwarts, every seventh-year student should be an Animagus, but how many of them actually become Animagus?

Although she didn't want to admit it, Professor McGonagall still felt that what Noah said made sense.

But listening to him complaining about the common teaching methods of a group of professors including herself, even the older cat girl who was extremely tolerant of Noah felt a little unhappy.

Okay, okay, stop talking.

She really wanted to give Noah a throat lock, but she couldn't do it.

Noah continued his tirade.

Professor Flitwick's teaching method is the normal teaching that students should receive.

Instead of directly teaching apprentices who had no basic knowledge of magic how to cast magic, he started with the most basic spell pronunciation and staff waving gestures. In the process, he gradually introduced the casting principles of the levitation spell. Finally, he let the students try to cast the levitation spell in the last spell class before Halloween.

This is a correct and complete teaching process.

……

After criticizing all the professors of practical courses including Professor McGonagall, Noah turned his fire to the development trend of the entire wizarding world.

If it weren't for the invention of the standard spell, students would only need to master the correct pronunciation of the spell, the correct staff waving gesture, and a little bit of mental power to cast a spell.

Given the teaching methods of most professors at Hogwarts, it would be good enough for these students who have learned nothing to master a Light Charm before graduation.

The existence of standard spells has transformed magic from an extremely profound subject into a factory assembly line. Students only need to learn the general outline to be able to cast magic.
