Chapter 83 Change, Everything is Changing
Hogwarts is a seven-year school, meaning it combines junior high and senior high school.
Although there are no exams in the third year, the learning is more in-depth than in the first and second years. However, the school's teaching staff is extremely limited. But now it's different. Owen has brought back ten elderly people around sixty years old to take charge of the courses below the third year, while Professor McGonagall and her team will focus on the fourth year.
Even so, it didn't bring the average age of professors below 7,000.
Mr. Green, a Muggle, was really a bit of a Muggle at this moment. He recognized these old men and women; they had been with him for many years, from their youthful vigor to their current white hair. For once, the old devil felt a little sad.
But it was only a little bit. When he saw the younger, yet more profound and unfathomable wizard, his sadness disappeared, because he believed that someone else would do the things he hadn't done well.
Dumbledore was also a bit confused. He recognized these people. Back when Grindelwald was at his peak, he wasn't followed by these people. At that time, their strength wasn't enough, but they were incredibly fanatical, and that fanaticism has lasted until now.
He's in his sixties, in the prime of his life!
It's not that Irving can't bring these people in as professors, it's just that in his heart—
"grown ups."
The old men and women bowed to Grindelwald, then lined up neatly behind Irving. Once they decided to follow Irving, he became their only one, and even Grindelwald could no longer command them.
Seeing this, Dumbledore finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was wary of his old friend, but he wouldn't doubt Owen, the little wizard he had raised himself.
The number of teachers has doubled, but the students' studies have remained unchanged. However, the professors' work has become much easier. Before, the professors would walk briskly, as if they wanted to ride brooms to get around. Now, they are at a leisurely pace. Professor Flitwick, for example, even dares to have a drink during lunch.
Professor Sprout did the same, expanding the magical creature greenhouse to six in one go, also according to the textbook. When the fat witch saw the new old man's cultivation methods, she was finally relieved, and without taking a break, she directly expanded to three more greenhouses.
It's fair to say that, apart from Defense Against the Dark Arts and Squires, all subjects were split into grade levels, which displeased the professors of those two courses.
Lupin arrived and had barely made his request when Irving snapped at him: "Professor Lupin, you're one of the rarest, truly capable professors these days. Besides, you're still young; you should be taking on more responsibility. Why are you always thinking about resting?"
The simple phrase "You're still young" left Lu Ping speechless. And it was true; he was now genuinely enjoying himself. Even though his werewolf identity had been exposed, not a single student was afraid of him. On the contrary, he was more popular than ever before.
Unable to resist the students' persuasion, he transformed himself in front of the entire school one day, and then he became a star professor. The students who specialized in potions were especially crazy about it. Wolfsbane potion is a high-level potion and is even one of the must-test potions every year.
At first, Lupin was quite surprised, until one day he saw a huge, thick, and long basilisk being pulled by the tail by the students and gliding back and forth on the grass, and the giant octopus and fish-men in the Black Lake stirring up waves to let the students experience what surfing is like. It was only when the Whomping Willow was conducting agility training with the students that he realized that Hogwarts was different from before.
Another unhappy professor was Ms. Trelawney, the Divination teacher. Even at Hogwarts, she was quite mysterious. She didn't often attend dinners and events, and when she did, she was very low-key, making it easy for people to forget her existence.
However, her relationship with Irving was excellent.
Before Owen arrived, this witch did not hold a high position. Although she was also a professor, she did not have much say. She was also somewhat depressed, so she developed an alcohol addiction.
But when Owen arrived, he stopped giving her alcohol shortly after they met, because he had a healthier way to get the witch into that mystical state, which greatly increased her success rate in divination. As a result, more students chose to divination.
However, when it comes to divination, talent is far more important than hard work, so she doesn't accept many students. She only needs to teach two divination classes a week, but she also has astronomy classes to teach.
She came to Owen wanting to separate the astronomy class so she could focus on teaching the divination students.
Unlike Lupin, she didn't even have time to speak. Looking at the little wizard with his head buried in his notebook, Trelawney felt a pang of heartache. Only then did she remember that Owen was actually just a student, but he studied very hard and diligently, and his learning progress was a little faster than that of the normal students.
You shouldn't involve him in this kind of thing.
After dinner, and after answering some of the questions from class for some of the students, Owen didn't go back to bed or bury himself in his books. Instead, he went into the Forbidden Forest to mediate between the two species.
The conflict between the eight-eyed giant spiders and the centaurs has reached a point where it cannot be resolved without external intervention. Eight clashes in ten days have directly reduced the number of trees in the Forbidden Forest by one-fortieth. Hogwarts is about to be unable to bear such losses. What has fallen is not some towering ancient tree, but money!
It's important to understand that although Owen is still a teaching assistant, he manages Hogwarts' finances, and all funding approvals must go through him.
There was no other way; Dumbledore was incompetent, and Vice Principal McGonagall had far too many problems. So, the most troublesome issue—the money bag—had to be handed over to a junior wizard who was better at making money.
"Why you? Where's Dumbledore (Hagrid)?"
Irving's upturned lips instantly turned downwards: "What? You guys have a problem with that, huh? Fine, then fight it out, fight until one side is wiped out. Come on, let's do it!"
These two were the only two creatures in the Forbidden Forest that didn't get close to him, and Owen didn't treat them well either. If you're not happy with me, I'm not happy with you either!
Seeing that the centaurs and giant spiders had quieted down, Owen waved his wand, and a map of the Forbidden Forest appeared. He then drew two circles on it: "From now on, the territory of the eight-eyed spiders is in the west, and the territory of the centaurs is in the east. This is your area of operation. If you go beyond this area, Hogwarts will impose sanctions. Believe me, the consequences will be unbearable for you."
