The years of welding at Hogwarts

So, in the end, the only ones who rushed forward roaring were Ron and the twin brothers.

However, before the twin brothers could rush to Draco, they were stopped by Neville.

Only Ron, who was blood-thirsty, completely ignored Neville's obstruction and managed to bypass the Hufflepuff Thor with an extremely flexible "Z-shaped shake".

Then Draco knocked him to the ground with a punch.

The situation is completely the opposite of what our parents did.

"Stop it! Draco!"

Neville stopped his good friend who was about to finish him off, "Although I don't know what the grudge is between you two, but take a good look at yourself, is this the place for fighting?!"

Seeing that the person trying to stop the fight was Neville, Draco and the twin brothers became wilful for a moment.

If they were to compete in hand-to-hand combat without using magic, let alone the three of them, even if Bill and Charlie were called over and Neville gave them one hand, they might not be enough to defeat Neville alone.

But Ron, who was blinded by rage, didn't care about that.

He was thrown to the ground, but he quickly got up and launched another fearless charge at Draco, and then he did the same thing as before.

Such an ending——

Draco knocked Ron, who only knew how to hide in his room with the catheter every night, to the ground with just one punch.

"I said! Stop!"

A tremendous amount of magic power suddenly burst out from Neville's body. Although the fierce aura of a veteran in battle was invisible, it was like a hammer hitting the hearts of every onlooker.

The marble floor beneath Neville's feet instantly cracked. The aftermath of the impact of his aura alone was so powerful, not to mention Ron who was facing the oppression of Neville's aura.

The intimidating aura lingering over the entire banquet hall instantly quieted the entire noisy venue.

Even Mr. Weasley unconsciously loosened his hold on Lucius.

"Is it all enough?"

Neville's voice was calm, but powerful.

"If anyone still hasn't had enough of the noise, come outside the banquet hall. I'll be your opponent."

It was not until this time that the Minister of Magic Amelia Bones arrived with several Aurors. She raised her wand to separate Arthur and Lucius who were still entangled on the ground, and her face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

"What have you done!"

Chapter 274: Taking Big Steps Can Cause Trouble

The fight between Lucius and Arthur seemed long, but most of the time the two of them were just verbally attacking each other.

To be precise, it should be Lucius's one-sided mockery of Arthur. Arthur was crushed by Lucius in terms of family background, personal ability, status and the excellence of his descendants. Apart from the other party's dark history of being a Death Eater, Lucius could not find any points that could be used to attack the other party.

Originally, Molly Weasley was catching up with an old friend whom she hadn't seen for a long time, while Narcissa Malfoy was gathering with a group of wives from pure-blood families.

When the two heard the noise in the banquet hall and hurried over here, the duel between Lucius and Arthur had already ended due to Neville's mediation.

Although Lucius won in terms of face, he was beaten black and blue by Mr. Weasley.

As for Mr. Weasley, although he was not able to beat Lucius, who had a good son, in terms of verbal combat, he won the physical duel quite thoroughly.

Lucius tried his best but only left a few shallow scratches on his arm with his nails, but the price he paid was that one of his eyes turned into a panda eye and the bridge of his nose was broken by his deliberate punch, and his straight nose tilted to one side.

If Lucius were punched again from the opposite direction, he would get the same crooked nose as Dumbledore.

Dumbledore's nose was broken twice by his brother Aberforth, which led to its current appearance.

There was only one punch between Lucius and Dumbledore.

However, beating someone up feels good for a while, but when the police find out the responsibility afterwards, it can be a crematorium. Not to mention that the two of them are fighting at the Nobel Prize ceremony in the magic world.

Such an important international occasion was attended by more than just wizards from the British magical community. The irresponsible behavior of Lucius and Arthur had brought shame to the international community.

The crime is even more serious! The crime is even more serious!

Throw both of them into Azkaban to feed the Dementors!

Amelia Bones roared silently inwardly.

But facing the fathers of two Order of Merlin recipients, given the situation on the scene, she really didn't have any better solution. She could only entrust the important task of teaching the two men a lesson to the wives of the two fighting parties.

Mrs. Weasley grabbed her husband's ear viciously, "Arthur Weasley! You've got to be this good!"

Mrs. Weasley was furious like a lioness, she was almost going crazy with anger.

"Look at the example you set for the kids! Ganging up to fight! You've ruined all the reputation George and Fred had earned through bloody battles! Do you still look like a father?"

Compared to Mr. Weasley who was almost at the funeral home, Lucius's situation was obviously much better.

At least, Narcissa Malfoy's temper is not as hot as Molly Weasley's.

She just stood there, folding her arms, staring at her husband coldly. Under that extremely sharp gaze, Lucius, who had been racking his brains to come up with a suitable excuse to defend himself, finally lowered his head silently.

Next to Lucius stood another figure with his head lowered.

Lucius pursed his lips, and after a long time, he managed to squeeze out a sentence from his throat that was not much louder than a mosquito's buzz -

"I'm sorry, Cissy."

Narcissa still folded her arms in response to Lucius' words and raised her eyebrows slightly, "Hmm?"

Draco slowly moved his head, furtively raised his head to glance at his mother who was obviously still angry, and then silently lowered his head again, "I'm sorry, Mom."

Lucius, whose facial injuries had disappeared under the healing spell, looked at his wife with a flattering smile on his face, "I was wrong."

Hearing Lucius' words, Narcissa finally lowered her arms, which had been folded across her chest from the beginning. Her expression was cold.

There was a moment of looseness.

Her voice was clear and cold, "Oh? What's wrong with you?"

"I was wrong everywhere." Lucius put on a shameless face, reached out and pulled his wife's sleeve, indicating that she should save some face for him, the head of the Malfoy family, in public.

When she gets home and closes the door, she can discipline herself however she wants, and that's totally fine.

Narcissa bent her slender fingers and tapped Draco on the forehead. She ignored Lucius beside her and just gently admonished her son.

"Next time, use your brain before you do anything. Don't learn from your father. If it happens again, I'll ask Neville to break your legs when he trains with you."

When facing her own children, Narcissa's expression was very gentle, but the words she said made Draco shudder.

Although he knew that his mother, who loved him the most, would never do such a thing, Draco still nodded his head hurriedly like a chick pecking at rice.

At a time like this, he would never be stupid enough to find fault with his mother's words.

"I know, Mom."

Draco, who was taking advantage of the situation, put on a face that looked exactly like his father's and went into his mother's arms. He tilted his head and gave Narcissa a silly smile, which successfully made Narcissa laugh.

Lucius breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his son's methods.

From an angle that Narcissa couldn't see, Lucius silently gave his son a thumbs up.

……

The banquet held at the Merlin Memorial Hall lasted until late in the evening.

With the help of the portkeys they used to come in, the guests in the banquet hall gathered in twos and threes and left. However, Noah did not choose to go back to Spinner's End with Shirley and the others. Instead, he took Professor McGonagall's portkey.

Noah should have gone back to Hogwarts Castle long ago.

Since Dumbledore, who represented the conservative forces in the wizarding world, stepped down from the position of Hogwarts headmaster, he was replaced by Professor McGonagall, who was more receptive to new things.

So much so that many of the suggestions that Noah, the senior consultant of the Hogwarts education reform working group, had previously put forward to Dumbledore, but which had been suppressed because they were too shocking and outrageous, were turned out from the old paper pile after careful consideration by Professor McGonagall. After lengthy discussions with her and several other deans, most of Noah's proposals were passed.

These include but are not limited to expanding the Hogwarts faculty and staff team and adopting a more refined course grading system.

Courses such as astronomy and history of magic, which were not too important for young wizards but were extremely time-consuming and not difficult to obtain OWLs and NEWTs certificates, were changed from compulsory to elective.

Then came the monthly examination system that students hated. Except for the first-year wizards who had a one-year novice protection period, students of all other grades in Hogwarts will begin to experience the nightmare of monthly placement exams.

Then, Noah believes that just seven years of study is not enough to train a young wizard into a sufficiently talented person, so the Hogwarts school system will be tentatively adjusted to nine years starting this year.

To put it simply, it is nine years of compulsory education at Hogwarts.

Those fresh graduates who have just graduated from Hogwarts for less than two years, regardless of whether they have already participated in the work, will receive a letter from Hogwarts asking them whether they are willing to continue their studies.

Their tuition fees and other expenses at Hogwarts will be free of charge, just like when they were at school before. If there is a penalty in the labor contract they sign with their work unit, the penalty will be paid by the school on their behalf.

In addition to nine years of compulsory education, Noah also plans to establish a true institution of higher learning in the magical world.

For Noah, even though the academic system of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was changed from the original seven-year system to a nine-year system, it only completed the transition from elementary school to junior high school.

Well, judging by the age at which the young wizards enter school, it can barely be considered a combination of elementary school and middle school.

There is no real university in the entire magical world.

No, that’s not the case.

As far as Noah knows, there are still several universities in the magical world. There are two in Europe alone. One is the Azkaban University of Magic in the UK, and the other is the Ecosta University of Magic in Germany.

However, these two schools do not have direct registration channels and will only recruit some outstanding talents they value from the society as supplementary students from time to time.

The students who are selected by these two schools are all outstanding talents in various fields.

Among them, Azkaban is even known as the reserve training base for the Dark Lord in the British wizarding world.

In addition to the magic university, there is even a graduate school in the magic world, but that place was labeled as an illegal educational institution and was closed down decades ago.

Although the old site of the graduate school still exists, only the lonely Principal Grindelwald is left to defend it.

There is none at all

Any student.

In such a great magical world, the educational conditions are so backward.

Noah felt deeply saddened by these wizards who were isolated from the outside world and allowed themselves to fall behind.

As a member of the wizarding world, how could he watch helplessly as the self-contained wizarding world sinks day by day and is finally destroyed in the fusion and collision with the Muggle world?

No, he doesn't allow it.

Therefore, the existence of Kamar-Taj is very necessary. As an institution of higher learning, it serves as a powerful supplement to the existing educational institutions in the wizarding world. It only recruits and trains outstanding graduates from magic schools around the world.

Of course, in this training process, it would be a trivial matter to subtly label them as Lord Shafulin, and there was no need to say it out loud.

The magical world is already so difficult, so some things should not be exposed.

However, the time is not yet ripe for the establishment of Kamar-Taj University of Magic and Wizardry. Now there is no one under Noah who can serve as a teacher, and the person who can be relied on is Snape.

But Snape was already a professor at Hogwarts, and it was obviously unrealistic to ask him to work two jobs.

We can't expect Noah to teach them personally, can we?

Perhaps, the best solution would be to wait for the deans of Hogwarts to gradually withdraw from the current teaching work at Hogwarts, and give the job opportunities to the junior professors who are gradually growing up, and let them form the skeleton of the faculty team of Kamar-Taj University of Magic and Wizardry.

Let’s put the matter of Kamar-Taj University of Wizardry aside for now. Right now, the internal affairs of Hogwarts alone are enough to give Noah a headache.

The master said that you should drink wine one sip at a time and walk the road one step at a time.

If you take a big step, you may easily pull your balls.

Hogwarts was now in such a mess that Noah felt like he was screwing over his own balls.

A new course, Magic Offense and Defense, was added to the compulsory courses at Hogwarts, while the original Astronomy and History of Magic were downgraded to non-compulsory courses. The new arrangement of the three courses directly disrupted the curriculum of Hogwarts that had been used for hundreds of years.

Not to mention the addition of new professors. How should we arrange the work so that their class hours are relatively even, so that some professors are not extremely busy while others cannot teach more than two classes a week?

In addition to the monthly baseline tests interspersed throughout the curriculum, as well as the entrance exams for old students after they return to campus, how should the exams be arranged?

What kind of course content will be taught to eighth and ninth grade students who are invited back for continuing education?

How should the classrooms for the nearly 200 additional students be arranged?

Another huge problem is that these little geniuses who are about to return to campus have to go through a one-month military training before they officially start their campus life.

At that time, there will be a series of messy things such as the training program arrangement for this group of divine beasts, the training equipment they will need, and the contingency plans for all possible unexpected situations that may arise during the military training...

All of this has accumulated in this summer vacation.

Thanks to the Eye of Agamotto, these things that should have been started a month ago, Noah dragged them on until today, a month later, and only started to deal with them after he completed the creation of the Eye of Agamotto.

It is already August 15th, and there is less than half a month left until Hogwarts officially opens.

Not to mention that in previous years, Owl would distribute the lists of textbooks and school supplies needed by students for the next school year at the end of July, but this year it has been delayed until now and there has been no movement at all.

Chapter 275: Muggle Art Appreciation

On the eighth floor of Hogwarts Castle, Noah looked at the bronze sect hanging on the door in front of him with a confused expression like an old man on the subway looking at his cell phone.
