Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Chapter 420 Initial Signs of Educational Reform
Dolores Umbridge finally realized his place and sullenly sat back down.

Her angry outburst only made her look more like a toad.

“Alright, let’s continue.” Without Umbridge’s interference, Tyella cleared her throat and said, “Those of you who have read ‘Hogwarts: A History’ will know that Hogwarts has never accepted a transfer student.”

A murmur rippled through the crowd below the banquet hall.

"By the way, ten points for Gryffindor," Tierra said with a smile. "Because Hermione Granger is the only student in the whole school who has finished reading this book, ten points are added to Gryffindor to reward her diligence and thirst for knowledge."

Professor McGonagall: ? ? ?
Snape: ? ? ?

Harry, Ron, Hermione: ? ? ?
Other students at Hogwarts: ? ? ?

“Alright, let’s continue.” Tyella suddenly became serious. “As you all know, Voldemort is back. I showed you all the evidence at the end of last term. Tyella also left us a prophecy with his life. Although the Daily Prophet and the Ministry of Magic have slandered Harry and me a lot this summer, I believe that young wizards of your age should have some ability to think independently and distinguish between what is true and what is false.”

“Because of Voldemort’s return, the forces of evil will soon regain power. On behalf of Hogwarts, I signed a ‘Bilateral Mutual Assistance Agreement’ with Igor Kakaroff, Headmaster of Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and Venda Rosie, Head of the Board of Trustees, to jointly fight against Voldemort,” Tyella said. “Therefore, Venda Rosie’s adopted daughter, Hathaway Romanoff, is coming to our school as an exchange student to observe and learn.”

“Miss Romanov is highly skilled in magic. Although she seems cold, she has earned my complete trust.” Tiera paused, then emphasized, “She has earned my complete trust. If anyone wants to form a small group or organization, they can call on her.”

Tyrell gave Harry, Ron, and Hermione a closer look.

“Besides, I believe that students whose parents or older siblings work at the Ministry of Magic must have already learned through various channels that I am going to carry out educational reforms at Hogwarts,” Tyella said. “Therefore, there will be some adjustments to the course schedule this semester.”

"First of all, the Muggle Studies course will be changed from an elective to a compulsory course, and the previous class division will be cancelled. Every Friday, the first class will be right here, in the Great Hall. I will personally teach the Muggle Studies course. Everyone must attend. Failure to attend will result in the loss of college points. Professor Kerry Debubage, who was originally teaching the Muggle Studies course, will serve as a teaching assistant."

After Tyella delivered the news, the young wizards below erupted in a frenzy, chattering incessantly, with even a few boos mixed in—

They were clearly dressed in Slytherin.

“Slytherin House is disrespectful to its teachers, deduct ten points.” After the discussion gradually subsided, Tiera said with a faint smile.

“The second reform measure is the History of Magic class,” Tierra said. “The History of Magic class will also be changed to large class teaching, the first class every Friday morning, still in this Great Hall, where I am the host, and everyone must attend, starting from the first Friday of October.”

"At the same time, the format of the History of Magic class will also be changed," Tiera continued. "The original lecture format will be changed to a seminar format, which means I will not spend large blocks of time teaching history, but you will need to discover it yourself."

“There are four houses in total, each with seven years. Each year from one house forms a group, meaning there are twenty-eight groups in total,” Tierra explained. “You can choose a specific event, type of event, or historical period from the history of the magical world as your project. You will need to work as a team, research, and create a thirty-minute report, which will be presented in class. Professor Binns and I will jointly grade the report. The presentation will account for 70% of the final grade, and the final exam will account for 30%.” “The report can be presented as a briefing, a graphic presentation, or even a performance—as long as you clearly explain what you want to say,” Tierra continued. “But ultimately, it must culminate in a viewpoint, a concept.”

“In other words, there must be a central theme,” Tierra said. “So I hope you will use the time before October to carefully discuss and choose topics, and report in the order of the seniors, according to last year’s House Cup scores. That is to say, the first to report is the seventh-year Gryffindor, then the seventh-year Slytherin, then the seventh-year Ravenclaw, and finally the seventh-year Hefpatch, and then the sixth-years, and so on in this order.”

"At the same time, after every four groups, that is, after each grade's report, I will invite a guest as a guest professor to give a history lecture."

“Well then, it’s getting late, you all—” Just as Tiera was about to finish.

"Cough cough!" Umbridge stood up again.

“Professor Umbridge,” Tiera glanced at her coldly, “do you have anything to say?”

“Headmaster Dumbledore,” Umbridge said sternly, “don’t forget, you have no right to do this! Curriculum reforms at Hogwarts require a vote by Wizengamors, and must be approved by a majority vote—”

“I believe the Wizengamot court will agree once it’s built,” Tiera said with a smile. “So I think we don’t need to waste any more time and can start the reforms ahead of schedule. Besides…”

Tiera chuckled and said jokingly, "As if Wizengamo wouldn't agree. I doubt anyone would want to stop a centenarian's reform plan, would they?"

Umbridge sat down with a gloomy expression. Although Tiera could clearly sense her unease and anger, she seemed to have no intention of continuing the argument on the spot.

Tiera's masterful Legilimency allowed her to see the turbulent evil thoughts and tormenting ideas churning within Umbridge's heart.

Tiera smiled contemptuously to herself, ignoring Umbridge, and continued:

“Very well, since no one has any objections, let’s go back to the dorms and get some sleep.” Tierra smiled mischievously, mimicking Dumbledore’s expression. “I’m sure everyone is very tired.”
