Chapter 437 Professor Nina's Request for Help

Although it is a new semester, there is actually no difference - although there has been endless discussion about it in the outside world, those comments cannot be blown into Hogwarts.

The reason is simple: the students are too incompetent.

Yes, there is no doubt that the students are terrible.

The reason is very simple. It is just like after the college entrance examination every year, apart from the candidates, not many people care about the difficulty of the last two questions in the college entrance examination mathematics, but everyone likes to discuss the composition.

Because everyone really knows how to write an essay!
The topic being discussed in the Daily Prophet right now is how technology should be realized and in what directions it should be restricted - students really can't figure out this kind of thing.

The content of the magical world alone is enough to torture people, who has the time to care about that?

OWLs and NEWTs exams don't test that. Compared to that, the new content added to the Transfiguration and Anti-Dark Arts courses this year is the difficult part. Who dares not to pay attention to the new things added to the Examination Authority's syllabus!

Especially since the new professor this year is good at taking risks but weak in theory, if I don’t study hard, am I going to fail?

Yes, the students were right, Nina was weak in theory.

Because when Andrew visited the dean's office, he saw Professor Nina asking for advice from his dean.

The tuition was not cheap - Andrew guessed that she had donated almost all of her share of the treasure in exchange for a promise to consult Professor Flitwick in his free time.

Anyway, Andrew was shocked.

Don't be fooled by the fact that he piled all the things on the shelves. That's because he now has too much funding for his experiments. In fact, as for those things, it wouldn't be a problem to just sell them and move to a small herbal medicine store.

'She is recognized by her professors for just reading books and teaching seriously, but this is too... extravagant.'

Andrew stood aside, saying nothing, and tried his best not to look at the dean's collection shelf - Professor Nina's tuition was obviously placed there, because Andrew had actually seen it when it was divided.

"Taylor, put the bookshelf on first. Yes, that one. Look at the magazines on the third row first. I'll need some time!"

While he was in a daze, the dean looked up, assigned him a study task, and then continued to lecture with his head down.

"The people who collect money should be in the front, as it should be."

Andrew sighed and went straight to get the magazine - it was not this month's issue, but last July's issue, which was folded by the professor.

He opened the magazine, looked at it carefully, and then froze.

It was similar to what he was researching, but in different directions - he was analyzing the pronunciation of spells, while the other party was analyzing the modern evolution of spells from three European schools.

"I haven't seen any related works. They were made in recent years, but not published?"

Andrew was not surprised - short story magazines and finished books are two different concepts, so it is normal to take a few years to edit them.

Obviously, the dean had dug out some old books to help him gain theoretical knowledge, and it must have taken a lot of effort. Nowadays, it is not easy to search in the Muggle world, let alone the wizard world.

'Very good addition. Interesting. After the Triwizard Tournament was discontinued, the differences between the three schools became greater. However, the spells did not change much. Was it because they had merged enough before?'

...

'Who poked me? '

Andrew, who was immersed in his paper, raised his head with an impatient look, and then saw Nina whispering, "Professor Flitwick is looking for you."

She left quickly after she finished speaking. Andrew stood up without any embarrassment and put the magazine into his schoolbag - he was his own dean, so why should he be polite?
"Dean, there really is nothing that can stump you!"

Andrew put his bag away, trotted to the Dean, pulled out a stool and sat down. "But, you're taking them all?" Professor Flitwick shook his head. "She wanted to use the most precious one as a reward, but I refused. After all, it was a gift from Ravenclaw. Besides, she studied hard to teach students. I can't hold her back on the treasure."

So many of them couldn't have come here on their own, right?

Andrew cast a puzzled look.

"For the other reward, she needs a more precise promise, the support of the professors and the board of directors," Professor Flitwick shook his head, "I must accept the reward for this. Although I paid it in another way, I did not accept the most valuable one."

"I thought..."

Andrew remembered Nina's original purpose of coming to Hogwarts - she was not here to apply for a professorship, but to see what Lockhart had left behind.

"It's basically stable. If the dean gives his full support, then we can basically push it forward."

"She should get what she wants soon, but she's still studying hard?"

"This is what I support her most," Professor Flitwick nodded slightly, "She is as tenacious as a Hufflepuff student - let's not talk about her, let's talk about you, Taylor. I called you here not only to give you reference books. You will accumulate the foundation of spells this school year, so I don't ask you to do anything innovative. It shouldn't be a problem to finish learning the content of the fifth grade, right?"

...

Andrew, who had barely finished the fourth grade content, was a little panicked - he was not as good at spells as he was at Transfiguration. Unless he spent all his time on spells, the time...

"Forget it, the academy is not related to spells," Professor Flitwick sighed, "You can study it first, and then organize your spell studies. The requirements are lower. This semester..."

The dean paused. He wanted to say first, but that Weasley guy is both talented and hardworking - a Gryffindor who dared to fail Transfiguration is really brave!
"In short, study hard and live up to Ms. Ravenclaw's expectations."

The dean sighed and gave up, "Go back - wait, come here."

He got a large bag of snacks from the drawer and filled the rest of Andrew's bag.

"Okay, go back and study hard."

-

"Well, let's change tomorrow's plan. We can't go too far."

Andrew was thinking and striding out of the dean's office, but was stopped by someone reading a book in the corridor - it was Professor Nina.

"Think of an idea, Andrew."

She leaned against the wall, looking for help.

"The dean said that he will do his best to help you. There won't be any problems."

Andrew was very sure that Dean Flitwick's full help was no joke.

"It's not that. Of course I believe what Dean Flitwick says. It's teaching. There's something wrong with teaching."

Nina shook her head. There was really something wrong with teaching.

Although Nina was much more normal than the abstract professor last year, she was still a little lacking when it came to some high-end knowledge.

Especially when it comes to overall review, she is often a little flustered - but the students are already satisfied. Although she is not very good at teaching, the professor has a good attitude in class and has a very solid grasp of common knowledge.
