"Are you saying that there is tension between the Ministry of Magic and the school? Because of those curriculum changes?"

"Well, it's obvious," Elena said, "Every era has its old guard, and people are often afraid of change, right? The integration of magic and science is indeed the trend of the future, and it is also the way to rejuvenate magic. Magic

Officials in the Ministry will worry that they will be eliminated because of this, because new things and new knowledge are emerging too fast, and next year the first batch of wizards with professional titles will enter all walks of life."

"But they can also learn and learn new things together? And they have less to remember."

Hermione asked with some confusion. At this time, they had separated from Hannah, Ginny and others, left the auditorium and walked towards the Charms classroom.

"Theoretically, that's the case," Elena said slowly, "provided...well..."

She looked around at the magical portraits, a hint of teasing appearing on her lips.

"What?" Hermione urged.

"Well, they must not be in a state of cognitive ossification."

"Cognitive solidification?" Hermione repeated softly, thoughtfully.

"All new things that appear when you are ten are novel and interesting; new things that appear when you are twenty are all fashionable; new things that appear when you are thirty must be carefully screened out of impurities; forty

If it appears after the age of 10, it may be garbage..."

"As time goes by, most people will inevitably experience a process of cognitive solidification, deterioration of learning ability, and aging mentality."

Elena pointed meaningfully at the portrait on the wall. She had done an interesting Turing test in school last year.

It turns out that most portraits do not have the ability to "enter and understand", and their cognition is forever frozen in the past.

Elena looked around at the layout of the corridors and stairs that were always in a "new" state, and raised her eyebrows.

"It's not difficult to understand, right? For example, when you firmly believe that the world should be a certain way, but new things tell you that the world is not what you believe, do you choose to doubt first or first?

Do you believe it?"

"...I don't know." Hermione shook her head, "I will try not to presuppose a position and make judgments from an objective perspective."

"Perfect answer!" Elena said.

"But, but this is just an assumption under ideal conditions..."

Hermione nodded with some confusion and whispered to herself, "If it were Hannah, she would definitely not be willing to continue to try another path with the same result after learning one way of solving the problem.

Say, if and when there is a conflict between these two methods."

A sneeze

At the same time, on the other side of Hogwarts Castle.

Hannah sneezed out of the blue, shocking Luna out of her fugue state.

"Strange, didn't I drink a refreshing potion in the morning? What's going on?"

Tiehanhan rubbed his nose, murmured softly, and pushed open the door of the Potions classroom.

In Professor Snape's class, colds and sneezing can be said to be the worst conditions. Whether it's because your hands shook and you added a few more drops of potion ingredients that you shouldn't have, or you accidentally spilled snot and saliva from your nose.

Falling into the crucible may have disastrous consequences.

Starting from this semester, the most common treatment is to become the subject of Professor Snape's "special, enhanced version, refreshing potion".

After all, there are now three top potions masters in Hogwarts.

The "potion supply right" of the Hogwarts campus hospital has changed from a troublesome and trivial task to a secret battlefield with undercurrents. The professors' potions have become a weapon to measure each other's standards, and Hannah does not want to get involved.

The war between professors turned into a "Steam Princess".

However, as she pushed open the wooden door of the underground classroom, Hannah's worries quickly dissipated.

"On your right hand side, each person should go and get two masks and a hair cap first."

Snape stood next to the lecture table in the underground classroom and glanced coldly at the young wizards who were entering the classroom one after another.

"From today onwards, during the practical stage of potions class, I hope everyone remembers to wear a mask. I don't want this classroom to faint from smelling the potion I brewed for the second time, or drop something that shouldn't be dropped.

Things that go into the pot will drip into the pot, do you understand?!"

"Okay, Miss Abbott, Miss Lovegood, as usual, please send us everyone's homework from last week..."

It has to be said that Snape has become much more relaxed since Dumbledore broke up the lower grades and reclassified them and established monitors.

Most of the simple tasks such as sending and receiving homework, distributing potion materials, and maintaining order in a small area are left to the students themselves. He can focus more energy and time on teaching and observing the students while making potions.

Is there any danger or incorrect operation?

Of course, such a smooth teaching model does not only exist in Snape's Potions class.

…………

Charms is recognized as the most important course in the wizarding world.

In a sense, the Charms class is the most original and pure "magic" class of wizard civilization.

In this class, students at Hogwarts learn how to control their own magic, and follow some fixed gestures and syllables to cast spells that have been studied by generations of spell masters, which are what most wizards will rely on in the future.

Basics of survival.

When Elena and Hermione arrived at the Charms classroom, they happened to see Umbridge walking from the other end of the corridor carrying a handbag.

"It seems that the Ministry of Magic has changed its strategy?" Hermione raised her eyebrows and winked at Elena.

"This is very smart. First choose some subjects that she understands and have relatively few changes."

Elena said softly without being surprised, and pulled Hermione towards the first row of the classroom.

There is no doubt that after experiencing the obstacles in Muggle Studies, Dolores Umbridge obviously realized her own limitations and chose to complete some basic tasks first and fill in the work of "Senior Investigator"

Make plans after completing your resume.

In Umbridge's view, Charms is undoubtedly the most suitable pure land as a background.

After all, this is "magic" in the true sense, and it seems to be incompatible with "science" from the day it was born.

"Good morning, Professor Flitwick," Professor Umbridge stood at the door with a smile on her face, leaned down slightly, looked at Professor Flitwick standing on the stack of books, and said in a brisk tone, "I believe

You should have received my notification? It said to check the time and date of your class.”

"Hello, Professor Umbridge. Where is your seat?"

Professor Flitwick frowned slightly and waved his wand.

Immediately afterwards, an armchair appeared out of thin air in the corner and landed lightly in front of Umbridge.

"Well, Miss Kaslana, Miss Granger, this is last week's homework, please send it to everyone."

After briefly settling Umbridge, Professor Flitwick did not continue to talk to her. Instead, he turned his head to look at Elena and Hermione, smiled warmly and said, two piles of parchment homework left from his podium.

It fell into the hands of the monitors of Class A of the second grade.

Faced with Professor Flitwick's indifferent attitude, Professor Umbridge still had a smile on her face. She grabbed the back of the armchair floating in the air, pulled the chair to the front of the classroom, and placed it about a distance away.

There was only a few inches of Professor Liwei's podium, and then she sat down leisurely, took out her writing pad from her fancy handbag, raised her head expectantly, and waited for the class to begin.

Flitwick stood on the steps of a pile of thick books as usual, looking at the students in the classroom with a smile on his face.

"Okay, we have initially mastered the fire-making spell in the last class..."

He didn't care at all that there was an additional audience behind him, and quickly entered the teaching state as the class bell rang.

"Today, we are going to learn another spell that sounds the opposite, the Freezing Curse. But before that, we are divided into groups of two to review the spells as before, and we take turns reciting the Fire Spell and lifting the corresponding spells."

As Professor Flitwick spoke, he tapped the desk with his wand, and a huge pale golden hourglass appeared in mid-air.

"Review time, fifteen minutes. Start now."

He stepped off the podium and walked back and forth among the class, checking their spellcasting.

On the other side, Professor Umbridge simply wrote a few words in her notebook, then stood up and followed Professor Flitwick's example, wandering around the Charms classroom and listening to Professor Flitwick's words.

Have a conversation with your classmates and ask a question or two from time to time.

Soon, she wandered over to Elena and Hermione's table.

"Fire is raging"

"All curses come to an end."

Elena's spell was gently activated, easily extinguishing the small ball of fire that Hermione had managed to conjure.

"You're not doing this right! Professor Flitwick said that you need to break the curse." Hermione puffed up her cheeks and said sternly.

"My purpose is to undo the curse. It is a universal antidote in most cases. It is like a broad-spectrum antidote in potions. Since you can directly end the curse process from the source of magic, why not master this practical method of undoing the curse?"

Way?"

Elena looked at Hermione's angry look with interest and shrugged.

"Well, if you can extinguish my fire, then I will reluctantly practice the terminating spell of the fire-making spell."

"Okay, you said that yourself?!" Hermione snorted, pulled down her sleeves, and was about to start casting the spell.

"Burning flames, kenza"

Boom, a bright fire light lit up from the tip of Elena's wand.
