Harry Potter: A Certain Ancient Rune Professor of Hogwarts (TL)

This class also allowed Belby, the new professor, to recognize the reality.

Times do move quickly.

The difference between the ‘average level’ he mentioned and the ‘average level’ shown by the young wizard is so vast that he couldn’t help but wonder about life.

”But maybe it’s just this particular grade that’s worse?” Belby thought with illusory hope.

The young wizards who came out of the classroom in a row were, on the contrary, extremely satisfied with their new professor.

“Today’s class was excellent.”

“Did you see the trip jinx I used?”

“I completely over-performed!”

“Crabbe was acting dumb.”

…

By the end of the day’s entire curriculum, Belby had become soberly aware of the young wizards’ magical attainments at last, and no longer harboured any hope – he even had a tendency to deviate to the other side of the line.

“Danger awareness is near non-existent, just standing still and chanting spells.” At dinner, Belby vented to Felix.

Felix laughed heartily: “I already tried to tell you, Damocles, so you can understand their level in advance.”

“This is totally different from when I was in school,” Belby said.

“In fact, the level of the senior class is not bad, they at least mastered a fair amount of useful spells, just do not know how to use them flexibly. But in recent years, the professors are less reliable in this course, which leads to a complete lack of danger awareness built up among the younger wizards in the lower grades.” Felix explained.

He suggested.

“The Defense Against Dark Arts class and the Dueling class are close enough that we can do some interaction.”

“Interaction?”

“As you know, many dueling spells are equally effective in the Defense Against Dark Arts class. For example, Shield Charm, Incarcerous Spell and so on.”

Belby showed a thoughtful look.

Defense Against Dark Arts is a class that teaches students how to use magic to protect themselves from dark creatures and dark magic, and students will learn some offensive and defensive magic in class to defend against danger.

But this class actually covers a much wider range of topics – there is never just one source of danger, Dark Wizards, Dark Magic, dangerous magical creatures, Magical Plants, treatment of minor vicious spells, and responses to general danger scenarios …

Rather than defense against dark arts, it’s a defense against potential dangers.

Recognizing danger, discerning danger, responding to danger, judging the Strength and Weaknesses of the enemy, looking for vulnerabilities …

These are the concept for establishing a Defense Against Dark Arts class.

Therefore, Belby would not, and should not, waste a lot of time to let the young wizards focus all their energy on one or two sources of danger.

If you look at it from this perspective, the dueling class can naturally be counted as a supplementary and practical part of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class – which is one of the reasons why Lockhart easily claimed the dueling club.

…

In the following period, Felix spent all his energy on upgrading the ‘answer space’.

Professor McGonagall exercised her power as Deputy Headmistress, pulled in almost all the professors of the corresponding subjects, and held a meeting between the professors.

Faculty members raised their hands to express their willingness to participate in the program or not.

Except for a few courses – such as the purely practical oriented flight class, and the divination class that claimed to ‘require rare vision’ to learn, plus some temporary ones (such as Apparition class and career advice session) – all other subject professors gladly agreed to join them.

Professor Kettleburn said with a complicated look, “I’ve been hoping to do something meaningful before I officially retire, and originally I planned to host an opera and invite my troll friends …”

Felix is rather glad he had dispelled that idea.

And Professor History of Magic – Ghost Cuthbert Binns, whose transparent silver-white body also becomes glowing and white in a bizarre state, causing people to worry whether he would feel his existence being replaced and thus permanently vanishing.

But fortunately, he’s just somewhat excited: “That’s good, I think young wizards will improve their History of Magic results.”

…

From a spectator’s point of view, with many professors gathered in one room, one would see many interesting events.

For example, the fact that Professors Flitwick and Sprout rarely see eye to eye with each other directly, yet they do not display body language that resists each other.

For example, Snape’s indifferent attitude towards Belby, but does not refuse to discuss potions knowledge with him.

Felix also met the professor of divination class for the first time since he joined, Sybill Trelawney.

She still looks the same after three years: Trelawney looks very thin, with high cheekbones and large glasses reflecting the light of the blaze, making it difficult to see her expression, like a large beetle approaching us.

Only when you get closer, you can see her eyes that have been magnified several times. She is clad in a light, transparent, shimmering cloak, with heavy necklaces and beads around her slender neck, bangles, and finger rings on both arms and hands.

‘This is perhaps the most self-decorated professor at Hogwarts, with an air of mystery hanging over her.’ Felix thought to himself.

He didn’t have good feelings towards the divination class professor, as she had hinted many times during Felix’s school days that something bad would happen to him …

And Felix decisively dropped the class after discovering he had no talent for divination.

This caused his divination class grade to be permanently halted at a bad level.

“Oh, Felix, I remember you … in the eyes of the public you are a very talented wizard, but under my vision,” said Trelawney, pointing to her eyes and staring straight at him, “I see a large area of murkiness and darkness.”

“Sybill, I think it’s because you haven’t sobered up from your hangover.” Professor McGonagall interrupted nonchalantly, not likewise fond of the vague, pretentious professor.

Trelawney blushed and said, ” Inner Eye are not influenced by external influences and will not change regardless of whether I have been drinking or not!”

She sat down angrily in an empty chair.

Felix also used the meeting to have a probing chat with Muggle Studies Professor Charity Burbage, and the response he got is a little disappointing.

This professor is not a stranger to Muggle society, according to her, she lives in a small community in the Muggle world. But Professor Bubarge also stood in the perspective of a wizard to think about things, or at least, she never considered trying to learn about the principles of technology – even at the level of an elementary level crafts class.

“Felix, I think that’s enough, I visit the bookshop twice a year and pick out the most popular books from it.”

Felix asked politely, “What is the most recent book you have been reading?”

“A Biography of Mendel: The Father of Genetics,” Bubarge said with interest, “It has inspired me a lot …”
