Chapter 178
Chapter 178
Two major events happened at Hogwarts today. One was that the final exams started, and the other was that the Weasley twins graduated or dropped out of school.
If being understood and approved by your parents is joy, then dropping out of school on test day is joy and madness.
"Thank you so much, Professor Hall!" Fred grabbed Alice's hand, with tears of excitement in his eyes.
George didn't speak or move, but he expressed his gratitude to Alice with sincere eyes.
"It seems that you are really happy." Alice couldn't help shivering when the two looked on so enthusiastically.
Since she became a teacher, she rarely met such admiring eyes at Hogwarts.After all, no matter how sensible a person is, it is difficult for a teacher who takes away his vacation with homework or papers to maintain his initial love.Even if Alice considers herself one of the teachers with the least amount of homework, that doesn't change that fact.
"One point from Gryffindor for disrespecting the teacher." Snape's voice came suddenly, startling the twins.Fred subconsciously let go of Alice's hand, and took several steps back.
Soon after, they realized that something was wrong.
"Professor, we are no longer Hogwarts students, you can't deduct our points!" Fred protested loudly.
"Really?" Snape raised the corners of his mouth, turned to Alice and asked, "Have their withdrawal procedures been completed?"
Alice thought for a while, then said hesitantly, "Probably not."
After all, what Mrs. Weasley agreed with these days is that there are not many but also few procedures for withdrawing from school, especially when Professor McGonagall is also the principal, the procedures for twins must be completed.By the way, Alice felt that there was another reason why Mrs. Weasley allowed the twins to drop out of school: she didn't want to see the twins' disastrous test results.
"Very well, another five points will be deducted from Gryffindor for contradicting the professor and not acknowledging his student status." Snape turned to the twins, giving them a "kind" smile.
"Great job!" shouted a boy from the crowd of onlookers.It's hard to tell if he was some victim of a prank by the twins, or simply resentment that someone should be able to reasonably avoid the exam.
"It seems that everyone is very confident about the exam?" Snape turned his gun and scanned the young wizards who were watching the excitement.
In an instant, the corridor became empty.
The twins looked at each other, waved with Alice, and ran away.
"Why bother?" Alice asked, "They're leaving school today, so if you don't add points, you'll deduct points from them."
"I think it's very meaningful. Anyway, they spent the seven years at Hogwarts with point deductions. From the beginning to the end, they will definitely be impressed today." Snape explained.
"..." Alice thought for a while, and found that she really couldn't refute.After all, looking at the happy appearance of the twins when they left, the deduction of points did not cause them any trouble.
However, she still said some good things to the twins appropriately: "Although they are very naughty, most of the time they still have a good sense of mischief."
This is where the twins are so powerful. In fact, there is probably no one in Hogwarts except Filch who really hates them, even Slytherin.
"No matter how you explain it, you were targeting them just now," Alice, as a professor with a sense of justice, bravely pointed out Snape's mistake, "I remember that you don't hate twins either."
Strictly speaking, Snape doesn't like all Gryffindors, and has a huge prejudice against Harry Potter.As for the Weasley twins, except for the fact that their homework was really bad, he basically didn't pay much attention to them.
After a strange silence, Snape suddenly said, "I remember the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam is about to start."
Alice, who was reminded, immediately forgot about the doubts about the twins. She said briefly, "Then I'll go first," and trotted directly to the test site.
Anticipating Alice's reaction, Snape stood there for a while before rushing to his Potions test site.
The exams of the fifth and seventh graders were watched by the Ministry of Magic. Alice was supposed to be fine, but she was still worried and went outside the exam room.
Obviously, even the most rational and calm student would be nervous at this time.Even before arriving at the scene, Alice heard many girls crying around the corner.
"The key to casting the Disarming Curse is..."
"I shouldn't have slept last night!"
"What should I do, I recited it well yesterday, but I forgot it all today."
Most of the students were frantically flipping through books or notes, while complaining to their companions in a crying voice.Alice saw Hermione in the corner rattling the books on her hands.
"Okay, let's take a little time for everyone." Alice clapped her hands, successfully attracting everyone's attention.
And at the moment of seeing Alice, several female voices who were sobbing softly burst into tears.
"What should the professor do, I don't know anything!"
"My parents would beat me to death if they saw my report card."
Although the identity of another psychological counselor made Alice want to listen carefully to the students' talk, but the current time did not allow it.So she just patted the shoulders of the girls around her, and then used a loud voice for herself: "Ladies and gentlemen, I know that you have no confidence in yourself now. This is a normal thing, because even the smartest and hardest-working Students can't guarantee that they haven't been lazy, and they can't guarantee that they understand every knowledge point."
The students gradually quieted down because Alice really spoke their hearts out.They are the ones who know their own level best. At this moment, many people can even recall how many classes they have spent in desertion, and how many homework they have copied.It is because they know too much about themselves that they have no confidence in themselves.
"I can say some old-fashioned comforting words. For example, one exam does not determine your life. For example, after the fifth grade exam, there will be seventh grade, as long as you work hard in the next two years." Alice observed everyone As expected, I found that everyone was not touched by these two sentences.The seventh grade and the future are too far away from them, and the distant future cannot comfort the present that is close at hand.
"I understand that you don't have confidence in yourself, but I hope you can have confidence in me," said Alice, raising her head proudly, "Even if you are really useless, after a year of my teaching, you will become better." Trash is treasure!"
"..." Harry asked Ron beside him, "Is Professor Hall calling us trash?"
"Isn't it?" said Ron uncertainly. "Isn't she complimenting us?"
Hermione stopped flipping through the book, and when she heard the conversation between the two, she rolled her eyes: "I don't know about others, but you two may have some IQ problems."
No matter how the students felt after hearing Alice's remarks, they were indeed no longer nervous.
"Aren't you afraid that your parents will kill you?" A boy asked the companion who started singing.
"Hey, didn't you hear what Professor Hall said?" replied the tall boy with a slim fit, "Have faith in her!"
"Confidence is confidence, are you sure you did well in the exam?"
"What's the matter if you don't do well in the exam?" The tall boy said proudly, "It's not my level, it's just that I don't trust Professor Hall enough. I can tell my parents that Professor Hall said that I am an outstanding student." genius."
"..." Alice wanted to remind that the Professor Hall they were talking about was standing behind them.However, considering the upcoming exams, she still chose to be patient for the time being.
As the exam bell rang, the last examinee hurried into the arena, and Alice finally breathed a sigh of relief standing outside.
"Why did you come here? Isn't there still a Potions exam?" She asked Snape who appeared beside her at some time.
"Ordinary final exams don't have as long a waiting period as the pre-OWLs," Snape replied first, and then asked, "Well, how do you feel after teaching for a year?"
Alice tilted her head and thought for a while: "Cultivating young saplings is indeed very fulfilling, and getting along with the students is also very pleasant, but I think just two years of teaching experience is enough."
"Why?" Snape asked curiously.He knew that Alice said two years because the Dark Lord had ordered her to find a passage into Hogwarts, and the deadline was next year.But according to his Alice understanding, this is only one of the reasons.
"In the first year, get familiar with and formulate the teaching syllabus, and determine the different teaching methods for each grade," Alice clapped her fingers and explained in detail, "For example, the fifth and seventh grades should pay attention to the questions, and other grades should do more practical courses. I have come up with as many and interesting ways of teaching as possible, such as various competitions and games.”
"The second year will be based on the first year's summary and improvement, and try to increase the flexibility of the syllabus according to the personality and progress of the students," she talked eloquently about the two-year plan, and then changed the subject, "but in that Not after that. After two years, I think I can only make minor adjustments at best, which is another level of scripting. It is the first time for students to experience this kind of class, but for me it is Repeated countless times."
Snape nodded understandingly: "So you don't like this kind of repetitive life."
"Who doesn't like a plain and warm life?" Alice blinked, "It's just that life is one thing, and career is another. I still prefer research that is full of endless challenges. Just like magic medicine to you , a small crystal bottle, which contains endless knowledge and challenges, and is a bright and small world that is constantly changing."

The author has something to say:
In fact, the author of the rich woman gave the character design for free, but Alice's character design is really unlikely to come across.It was the original article, and I found a very matching Gufeng character design (Gufeng and Q version are relatively easy)
Some little angels said that they could draw characters, but after thinking about it for a long time, I decided to make Alice the "thousand Hamlets" in readers' minds.
