Hogwarts becomes host

Went to King's Cross Station as usual, and was mobbed at the station as usual.

We boarded the Hogwarts Express as usual, with Hermione, Elaine, Harry, and Ron sharing a box.

However, this time, for the first time, Elaine did not lie on Hermione's lap to catch up on her sleep.

Although, since she realized that her behavior was a bit inappropriate during the summer vacation, she has deliberately avoided such intimate behavior...

But mainly, Hermione's legs were taken over by some shameless male creature.

Crookshanks lay comfortably on Hermione's lap, snoring and letting Hermione stroke his fur.

What a picture that makes people furious.

Putting aside the messy thoughts, Elaine leaned against the window sill and propped her chin on her elbow to take a rest.

But she was really not used to this kind of sleeping position, and without a special pillow, she couldn't sleep well.

Ah, I really want to pick up that shameless cat and throw it in Ron's face, and then sleep on Hermione's lap until it feels so good.

In the end, desire prevailed over reason, because Elaine was really tired these days, and there was nothing she had to do on the train. She just wanted to have a good sleep, so...

…Elaine ran to Daphne’s carriage.

In the eyes of the incredulous Slytherin students, Daphne lay sleeping on Daphne's lap.

Well, sometimes everything becomes easy just by ignoring the issue of face.

***

No dementors to harass, no Peter Pettigrew to cause trouble.

Life in the third grade is uneventful, everything is normal...

Except for the small golden hourglass in their hands.

After getting off the train, Elaine and Hermione were called away by Professor McGonagall as expected and received the time turner.

"It's been a long time since there have been students in Hogwarts who want to take all twelve courses." Professor McGonagall shook her head, "It's too tiring and useless... If you regret it, you can come to me at any time and give up. Unwanted course.”

"Isn't Prefect Percy a full cultivator, professor?" Elaine asked casually, looking at the sand in the hourglass. "I always feel... is it an illusion? Mine seems to have more sand than Hermione's."

"He is the only one in the past few years, because there is a shortage of manpower everywhere. You can find a job without those certificates, and the O.W.L certificate is useless. Better jobs require it..." Professor McGonagall explained, "Yes, you can It takes more time than Miss Granger... After all, you have to be responsible for one more course, authorized by the principal."

"Tsk."

"Don't look like that, Shafiq, this position is very important... If it goes according to your prediction, the pace of Muggles will become faster and faster, and you are the only one among us who is qualified for this job."

As the vice-principal, Professor McGonagall naturally knew that Elaine was going to take over as Muggle Studies professor.

Considering the presence of Adair in Elaine's body and her original Muggle identity, Professor McGonagall did not object to this seemingly absurd appointment.

Hermione looked at the hourglass on Elaine's hand with envy. When she learned the news, she felt a little confused. After all, her classmate suddenly turned into a professor. But after getting the Muggle Studies textbook and studying it carefully, she knelt down.

Even if she was born as a Muggle, she would not be able to compile such detailed teaching materials if she was given two years, but it only took Elaine six days... This is strength. There is nothing to say about being inferior to others.

"I remind you again." Professor McGonagall said cautiously and seriously, "Magic related to time is unstable. Violating the rules of time will also have catastrophic consequences. You must abide by the rules--don't tell anyone. ──”

"The time turner can only allow you to go back to the past, but not to the future. Turning the hourglass once can return you to an hour ago. The upper limit is five times. You must not turn it over more than once!"

"Also, you are not allowed to be seen by others when you are backtracking. You must remember clearly when to go where. Miss Shafik, you have prepared an invisibility cloak. This is good, but I still recommend that you plan carefully to avoid making mistakes. Mess around.”

"The extra time is also limited. Miss Shafik's is 720 hours, and Miss Granger's is 600 hours. Once you use up, you have to apply again. The application is unlikely to be approved. I suggest you save some time. Use it, don’t think it can be supplemented──”

"Well, it's difficult to get through with the Shafiq family's connections?" Elaine scratched her hair, "I am the same after all..."

"The Ministry of Magic does not have much time reserve left. The more you use it, the less it will be." Professor McGonagall shook her head, "Moreover, a person cannot have more than one month of extra time in a year. You are already stuck at the upper limit. Too much will have an impact on the body... Of course, your body is special, so I don’t care if you want to give it a try.”

"Then, the Ministry of Magic stipulates that only the best students can use the Time Turner." Professor McGonagall showed a smile, "So, your grades at the end of the semester must all be good (e) or above, ten At least six of the two courses must be outstanding (o)... This is probably the least worrying thing for you. If one or two courses are passed (a), it doesn't matter. As long as you get enough outstanding, it can be offset. .”

Elaine shrugged, and Hermione also smiled confidently.

As Professor McGonagall said, grades are the least of their worries.

Afterwards, Professor McGonagall went to the auditorium with them to attend the opening banquet. Professor Flitwick had already sorted all the new students, and everyone was eating and drinking.

Elaine didn't go to sit at the professor's chair because it was too conspicuous.

Adair was not present either. Many students asked Elaine about Adair, but Elaine ignored them all.

She said that you will know when you go to class. Adair has not resigned, but has some physical problems and is adjusting.

Hagrid did not attend either. He went to the giants to negotiate and would not return to England for a long time, which made Harry a little disappointed.

However, Dumbledore told Harry that Hagrid would be back to spend Christmas with them, which made him feel better.

After eating and drinking, the usual principal stood up and announced things, mainly about the professor's unusual behavior.

The new Care of Magical Creatures professor is Wilmina Graplan, a middle-aged witch with short gray hair and a prominent chin. She looks as tough and capable as Professor McGonagall.

When it was announced that Elaine was the new Muggle Studies professor, there were naturally a lot of exclamations.

However, Muggle Studies is a very unpopular course, and two months ago, Elaine and Adair teamed up to demolish the main entrance courtyard in front of the entire school teachers and students...

Therefore, most students are still convinced of Elaine's strength.

There seems to be nothing wrong with a student who can compete as well as a professor becoming a professor.

Of course, there were also many students watching the show.
