Chapter 403 The Appointment Arrangements for the New Professors! Operation Rapid Resurrection!
Chapter 403 The Appointment Arrangements for the New Professors! Operation Rapid Resurrection!
Dali began to describe what he considered to be the most important part of this special recruitment drive:
“Mr. Newt, it’s already decided that you will be teaching the Magical Creatures Protection class together with Hagrid starting from the new school year, and there’s no need to change it.”
Ms. Tina, Mr. Theseus, Ms. Leta, and Mr. Youssef will serve as Hogwarts Practical Instructors after the start of the new school year.
Practical coaching is not a course, so these four new professors do not need to hold regular classes. They can demonstrate their strength and teaching ability in front of students and attract their attention.
Then, they can decide on the tutoring time and location independently, informing the students during breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the auditorium each day.
During the tutoring period, students from the four colleges who do not have classes to attend can decide whether to receive practical tutoring or which professor to tutor them with.
At that time, Hogwarts' existing five Defense Against the Dark Arts professors, when not in class, can also provide practical guidance, just like the four new professors, giving students more options.
In the future, if any wizards, both domestic and foreign, with good practical skills pass the Hogwarts interview, they can also join the team of practical training instructors.
When the Ministry of Magic's continuing education training program has enough students and Hogwarts needs to send out training professors, the professors sent out can be selected from the practical tutoring professors.
One phase after another, it became a routine.
As for Ms. Queenie, her position is even more crucial. I need her to become Hogwarts' counselor and fully cooperate with Hogwarts' ideological and educational reforms.
She is not only responsible for treating the psychological problems of Hogwarts students, but also for making good use of her innate and powerful Legilimency ability to monitor the students' mental state.
If a student's thinking or perception becomes skewed, she will intervene promptly to help guide and correct it.
If, at that time, Ms. Queenie's work requires the cooperation of other professors, then, under reasonable circumstances, the other professors must cooperate. Dumbledore, you will be responsible for making the final decision and mediating in this matter.
At the same time, Ms. Queenie can also help the Sorting Hat with the task of testing students' moral character.
Of course, this will have to wait until Lady Queenie has gradually established her authority at Hogwarts.
Moreover, Ms. Queenie could only share the daily ideological assessment work; the ideological assessment work at graduation would still have to be entirely handled by the Sorting Hat.
Mr. Jacob, after arriving at Hogwarts, could become a teaching assistant for the Muggle Studies class.
At the same time, he was responsible for leading interested students in morning and evening exercises, teaching them some Muggle soldier fighting skills, so that students could strengthen their physique while learning magic.
If used in conjunction with proper physical training, the Power-Boosting Spell can improve physical fitness and increase strength at a relatively fast pace.
Finally, I want to emphasize a few points: anyone who wants to become a Hogwarts professor must pass the moral test, and after taking office, they must regularly go to Hogsmeade Village to receive training as Muggle talents.
As the number of professors at Hogwarts increases, competition among them will be necessary, but it must be fair and healthy.
Every three months after the start of the new school year, a professor duel tournament is held, which has become a regular occurrence.
All professors whose teachings include combat elements must participate in the dueling tournament; other professors may decide whether or not to participate.
I hope to set a strong example for the professors, thereby inspiring students' fighting spirit and desire to improve, so that the overall quality of Hogwarts students will rise year after year!
After listening to Dudley's long, meticulous, and unreserved discourse, Dumbledore's expression became noticeably more serious.
He wasn't worried that Hogwarts affairs would become more numerous and his burdens heavier; rather, he sensed that Dudley's words still carried a strong sense of entrusting his affairs to others.
This means that Dudley still doesn't have absolute confidence that he can defeat Death.
How could Dumbledore not feel heavy-hearted and full of worries when he thought of this?
"What are you spacing out for? Did you write it all down?"
At this moment, Dali frowned, looked at Old Deng, and said rudely.
"Oh, I've got it, I've got it," Dumbledore replied quickly, snapping out of his reverie.
Upon hearing this, Dali immediately urged Old Deng, "I've written it down, so go and do it. Time waits for no one!"
Then, his tone softened, and he urged the Newts to take action, adding a mirror mark to them.
Newt and Tina are both intelligent people. They could sense something unusual in Dudley's words and, from Professor Dumbledore's almost obedient attitude towards Dudley, they knew who the most important person at Hogwarts was at this stage.
From Dudley's explanation, I also learned that becoming a professor at Hogwarts is not an easy task.
They must work twice as hard to repay Dudley's kindness, to earn the respect of Hogwarts students and other professors, and to avoid being secretly gossiped about as nepotism.
After learning the function of the Mirror Mark, Newt and Tina, like Dumbledore, also took action.
They went to the principal's office first.
With the aid of magic, Dumbledore quickly wrote a bunch of appointment letters and explanatory letters.
After enchanting the letters with spells of secrecy and self-destruction, they gave the ones addressed to Theseus, Queenie, and Jacob to Newt and his wife to pass on.
The letter to Yousef was delivered separately by an owl messenger.
After receiving the employment letter and correspondence, the Newts quickly left Hogwarts.
They needed to find Theseus first, tell him the details, and ask him to go to Hogwarts to see Dudley.
Then they set off for New York City to find Queenie and Jacob.
……
The following week, Dali focused on matters related to recruiting new professors.
Dudley met Theseus, who had come to see him, and restored Theseus to his youthful state at the age of thirty. He then went with Theseus to the site of Leta's death—the Lestrange family cemetery.
Although this place has fallen into disrepair, it is not difficult to see from the ruins that it was once quite large and luxurious.
More importantly, this was once one of the battlefields where the Aurors, the Rebels, and Grindelwald and his Saints clashed.
Many white wizards perished here.
But Dudley only managed to revive Rita for the time being.
After Rita was resurrected, she met Theseus and immediately embraced him, weeping.
Later, through Theseus's introduction and explanation, Rita met Dali and learned the relevant information.
Rita was somewhat worried, fearing that she was not up to the task of being a practical tutor at Hogwarts.
But with Theseus's encouragement and companionship, and also to resurrect her brother Caus and resolve her inner conflict, she made up her mind and accepted the offer.
She assured Dudley that she would work even harder, constantly honing her combat skills and improving her magical abilities, and would not let Dudley down.
Dali did not comment further on this.
He had Leta secretly take him to the Lestrange family, the place where Cowes had once lived.
He also used a conceptual restoration spell to recall the remnants of Kaus's body that had undergone multiple transformations and were submerged in the deep sea, pulling Kaus's soul out of the world of the dead and resurrecting him.
Kaus was only a few months old when he was born, and he would have to be raised by his sister and brother-in-law.
