Professor Rupert Hogwarts

Chapter 336 New School Year

In a blink of an eye, two days slipped away, and the Hogwarts vacation was completely over.

Early in the morning on September st, Harry, Ron, Fred and others arrived at King's Cross Station and started their journey to the new semester from platform nine and three-quarters.

In an empty carriage on the train, Harry and others successfully met up with Hermione. After placing the owl, they sat on their seats and started chatting.

"You feel like you're not in a good mood because I didn't let you copy your homework?" Hermione sat by the window, looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window, feeling particularly happy. When she saw the two people opposite who looked a little strange in a trance, her face changed. There was a look of doubt on his face.

"What?" Harry trembled, and after reacting, he waved his hand quickly, "No, Professor Eisen told us that we did have more homework, we just didn't finish it! Right, Ron?"

"Ah? Oh! Yes, it has nothing to do with you Hermione!" Seeing Harry's words, Ron nodded in agreement.

"Then what's wrong with you guys?" Hermione's eyes widened. "It feels weird. After entering the carriage, you didn't say much. You looked like you were unconscious! Did something happen?"

"Uh..., that's Sirius Black. He is leaving Hogwarts. I don't know who will be our Defeat the Dark Arts professor next." Harry rolled his eyes and explained the matter. out.

"I know about this, Professor Eisen told me." Hermione said and glanced at the two of them suspiciously, "Is that why you are like that?"

"Well, well, we have to talk about this anyway!" The two looked at each other, and Ron reached out and patted Harry on the shoulder, showing an awkward smile to Hermione.

"What did you do?" Hermione looked at the two of them in surprise.

"Yesterday we tried it from Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, and then apparated directly back to the Burrow!" Harry said, his face seemed a little scared, and his tone seemed to be in a trance.

The expression on Hermione's face was dull for a moment. After a moment, she seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but screamed, "You... you are really too brave to apparate from such a long distance. How dare you? What if there is a split-"

"Okay, okay, Hermione, stop shouting!" Ron waved his hands in panic.

"We were indeed impulsive at the time, but fortunately we succeeded, right?" Harry seemed to calm down as he spoke.

"I hope you will think more about the consequences when you do something in the future. Fortunately, nothing happened to you. Otherwise, Professor Eisen will definitely be held accountable by the school and the Ministry of Magic!" Hermione's face showed a little dissatisfaction, "You know , Professor Eisen violated the rules and taught us the Apparition Curse——"

"Of course, we think so too!" Harry nodded vigorously and looked at Ron beside him. The two looked at each other and could see the luck in each other's eyes.

"Hermione, do you think we should tell Professor Eisen about this?" Ron felt a little uneasy.

"Of course I want Professor Eisen to know!" Hermione rolled her eyes at the two of them angrily, "Are you afraid of being reprimanded by the professor?"

"But, our OWLs year is coming soon. Will the professor give us more homework when he finds out?" Harry looked confused.

"You also know that it will be our OWLs year soon, so you'd better be quiet in the next time, and don't make any more troubles!" Hermione pouted as she said.

"What's wrong with us?" Ron looked at Harry with a depressed expression on his face.

bang-

The door of the carriage was opened from the outside, and a head poked its head over.

Fred looked at the three people sitting in the carriage and asked with a smile, "Want to play cards? Harry, Ron, come here!"

As he spoke, he seemed to be pushed from behind by someone, and he ducked into the car, "Please, don't push George!"

"You're kidding, okay!" George said, "Harry, are you coming? And you, Ron, we can use the latest product, fast-acting skipping candy, as a bargaining chip, how about it?"

"Please, what's the use of that thing?" Ron looked at Fred and George and said in a disdainful tone.

"Hey! Don't underestimate this thing, it's very useful!" Seeing Ron's attitude, Fred's expression immediately changed.

"That's right, you will be in fifth grade soon, and you may still be asking us for skipping candy by then!" George closed the door of the carriage tightly, and then said, "You are about to take advantage of it." .

"Why does entering fifth grade mean we have to skip classes?" Hermione, who had just taken out "Advanced Magic Text Translation" and was about to read it, couldn't help but ask after hearing this.

Harry and Ron looked at each other and then looked at Fred and George with doubtful expressions.

"Fifth grade is the year of OWLs!" Fred spread his hands.

"Of course we know, Professor Eisen has told us a long time ago, but so what?"

"Hehe! That means you have to deal with exams endlessly, right? The professors will assign homework like crazy, and they will grind your nose hard like a grinding wheel, wearing out the skin on the tip of your nose. !" Fred twisted his waist, turned around a few times and said in a gloating tone.

"For the OWLs exam, half of our classmates got into trouble. You must have heard about it." George took over the conversation and said with interest, "Crying, wiping tears, losing temper, etc. And Patricia Stinson, who just passed the OWLs exam last year, faints at every turn!"

"And Kenneth Toller has boils all over him, doesn't he?" Fred said with a smile on his face.

"Isn't that because you put big bubble powder in his pajamas?" George turned around and said.

"Oh, yes, I almost forgot, but sometimes it's hard to remember things clearly, isn't it?" Fred reached out and wiped it on his head.

"All in all, fifth grade is really a nightmare year." George said, with the corners of his mouth raised. "If you want to get rid of this nightmare situation, then you must not miss the quick-acting skipping candy!"

"Yes, if you don't care so much about test scores, then eating one in class will make your body look less comfortable -" Fred said and winked at a few people.

"What do you mean when you say not so comfortable?" Ron looked at Fred in surprise and said.

"Hey, it can do anything like coma, nosebleeds, fever, etc. Think about it, once such a situation occurs, you can go to the hospital to rest openly!" George put force on Ron's shoulder. Patted.

"This seems cool, doesn't it?" Ron's eyes lit up, he glanced at Harry next to him, and murmured in a low voice.

"Isn't this deceiving the professor? Besides, Ron, don't forget that you have become a prefect!" Hermione stared at the twin brothers with wide eyes, and then shouted at Ron's face.

"Ah - yes, that's right. This is simply deceiving the professor. It's so abominable!" Ron said casually, but his expression seemed a little embarrassed.

By the way, he only received the letter from Hogwarts yesterday, knowing that he had become the new prefect.They had talked about this with Hermione during their last communication yesterday.He knew that Hermione had also become a prefect.

However, when it came to skipping classes, he felt very embarrassed when Hermione suddenly mentioned it.

Immediately, he stood up and took Harry's arm, giving Fred and George a look, "Come on, let's go play cards. It's been a long time since we played. Let's go together!"

"That's right, let's go!" The twin brothers pulled Ron and Harry forward, opened the carriage door, and left noisily.

In just a moment, Hermione was the only one left in the entire carriage.

"Humph--"

Seeing Harry and Ron leaving with their twin brothers, Hermione certainly knew why.Immediately after snorting coldly, he opened the "Advanced Magic Text Translation" and started reading by himself.

The Hogwarts Express ran on the road, passing through villages and small towns, and kept approaching Hogwarts.

……

Meanwhile, inside the Hogwarts castle.

Eisen, who had been busy with his own affairs after waking up in the morning, suddenly received a summons from Dumbledore, asking him to go to the principal's office.

As he walked out of the office, climbed the stairs, and walked quietly in the corridor, Eisen's thoughts were racing, wondering why Dumbledore suddenly wanted to find him.

Could it be because of the issue of overcoming the Dark Arts professorship?

As soon as this idea came to his mind, Aisen shook his head and rejected it directly.

After all, although the Defeat Against the Dark Arts class has replaced the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, it is not 100% certain whether the curse above has been bypassed.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, Dumbledore would probably not let any wizard who has served as professor of Defense Against Dark Arts or Professor of Defeat Against Dark Arts continue to hold the position.

Besides, Eisen is just an astronomy professor, and it is definitely not his turn to defeat a position like black magic professor.

So, did Dumbledore have something to do with him?Could it be that he has found the whereabouts of Voldemort?
Thinking of this, Aisen shook his head imperceptibly.

I still remember that the last time he cooperated with Dumbledore and used Rita Skeeter to cast the bait, he also left a memory on the fragment of the Sorcerer's Stone.

What Eisen thought at the time was that if Voldemort got the Philosopher's Stone fragment, once he started to touch it with his own magic power, he would be able to directly manifest the memory and locate the opponent's location.

But what he didn't expect was that since Dumbledore told him that he had dealt with Voldemort face-to-face until now, Eisen has not been able to feel that the means on the fragments of the Sorcerer's Stone were triggered.

It was as if Voldemort had been holding back and not taking any action after taking away the fragments of the Sorcerer's Stone.

Eisen has a few guesses about this.

Or, Voldemort had seen through Dumbledore's methods, got the pieces of the Sorcerer's Stone and temporarily kept them.Or, Voldemort accidentally threw away the pieces of the Philosopher's Stone.

Eisen thinks the first possibility is very likely.

After he got the pieces of the Sorcerer's Stone, he faintly felt the power in them, and there were traces of Dumbledore's hand.If Voldemort also sees through this, then he may have to make sure that he can crack the "trap" above before using it.

Eisen thinks the second possibility is very unlikely.

He learned from Dumbledore that although the Horcruxes made by Voldemort after his resurrection were gone, he had also successfully escaped from Dumbledore.

In this way, for Voldemort, how could the fragments of the Sorcerer's Stone that were finally obtained be accidentally thrown away?
Uh, okay, it was just a random guess, and Aisen didn’t know what to say.

When he arrived outside the office, after reading the password, he opened the door and walked in.

After walking in, Eisen was surprised to find that there were already many people sitting in Dumbledore's office.

Dumbledore sat behind his desk with a calm expression, resting his arms on the table, intertwining his fingers, quietly waiting for something.

On the right side of the desk, Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout were sitting on a chair respectively, their expressions looking slightly more solemn.

The portraits of previous principals hanging on the wall repeatedly revealed some news in advance, and they all closed their eyes as if they were asleep.

After closing the door behind him, Eisen noticed a smile on Dumbledore's face.

"Is this going to be a meeting?" As he spoke, Eisen came to the stairs on the left, leaned on the railing, and turned his eyes around Dumbledore.

"Yes, there is something. Take a look at this!" Dumbledore said with a smile, took out his wand and waved it. A newspaper rose from the corner of the table and slowly flew to Eisen.

After looking at the professors and finding that their expressions had not changed much, Eisen nodded slightly, took the newspaper in his hand and started reading.

After scanning the words on the newspaper, Eisen frowned slightly and then relaxed.After a moment, he closed the newspaper and put it on his desk: "Hogwarts will restart the exchange student program? Is this the principal's intention?"

"What do you think?" Dumbledore clicked his wand, and the newspaper folded automatically.

"Very good!" Eisen shrugged. "After the exchange student program is launched, students can learn advanced knowledge from other international schools, broaden students' horizons, strengthen connections between schools, etc. There are actually many benefits. There are quite a few——”

"Eisen, I have to remind you that Hogwarts is the best magic school in the world!" Snape's cold words suddenly rang out.

hiss--

As soon as he heard Snape's words, Eisen took a deep breath.

Although Snape's tone of voice was calm, he heard obvious arrogance from it.

Obviously, the other party believes that Hogwarts is the best magic school in the world, so starting the exchange student program will not bring more benefits to Hogwarts.

"I reluctantly agree with Severus's point of view, but I still believe that only communication can maintain progress!" After a moment of silence, Eisen said calmly.

"Eisen is right, the restart of the exchange student program will be a good thing for Hogwarts!" Professor Flitwick said with a smile.

"I heard that the owner of the Leaky Cauldron said that Hogwarts had an exchange student program before?" Eisen reached out and rubbed his chin, showing a thoughtful expression.

"Ah——, yes, that's right. Unfortunately, because the related fees are too expensive, many students who are eligible to register have given up." Dumbledore said with a regretful tone.

"So, when the exchange student program is restarted this time, the related cost issues have been resolved?" Eisen looked at Dumbledore in surprise.

"Yes, after our communication and negotiation, the relevant expenses will basically be borne by the school." Dumbledore nodded.

"Will the school bear it?" Eisen thought, and felt that this was a good choice.

"Yes, Hogwarts will bear part of it, and the other part will be borne by the schools that carry out exchange programs." Dumbledore said simply.

After listening, Aisen understood what it meant.

To put it simply, if a student from Hogwarts participates in an exchange program and goes to Beauxbatons to study, Hogwarts will bear part of the cost, and Beauxbatons will bear the other part.

Correspondingly, if students from Beauxbatons School come to Hogwarts, it will be the same, except that Beauxbatons will bear part of the expenses for the students of this school, and Hogwarts will also provide a part of the guarantee.

For example, in addition to food, drink and accommodation, there are also related expenses for purchasing books, crucibles, etc.

Of course, the fees provided by the school can basically meet the living security of students.But if they want to spend extra money, they can only let students find their own way.

"It seems that if Hogwarts students want to participate in the exchange student program, they will probably be able to get a sum of Galleons. Huh? No, it seems that Galleons are not used abroad."

Such a thought suddenly appeared in Eisen's mind, but then he thought again, Dumbledore must have considered these issues long ago, and immediately stopped worrying about them.

"So, which school does Hogwarts plan to exchange students with?" After looking at several other professors, Eisen turned his attention to Dumbledore, "Ilvermorny? Beauxbatons ?Durmstrang?”

"Well, none of these!" After hesitating for a moment, Dumbledore shook his head with a smile.

"Uh, is that Castrobshe? Or Kodosdorez?" Eisen paused for a moment.

"Zhengyi School..." Dumbledore said a name with a smile.

"Zhengyi?" Aisen was immediately confused when he heard the name. Is there such a magic school in the world?This is an interstellar joke!
After looking up at Professor McGonagall and others, and finding that their expressions had not changed, Eisen set his sights on Dumbledore again.

"Principal, with all due respect, I have never heard of a magic school called 'Justice' in the wizarding world. Are you mistaken?"

"No, although this school is not registered with the International Federation of Wizards, I am sure it exists." Dumbledore said solemnly.

Looking at Dumbledore's sworn expression and seeing that none of the other professors refuted, Eisen knew that what Dumbledore said was probably right.

There is indeed a magic school called 'Justice' in this world.

But what is the situation in this world? As a time traveler, can Eisen not understand it?
Uh--, okay.He had told Hermione about magic schools before. Unexpectedly, he turned around and actually heard about a magic school that was not registered with the International Federation of Wizards.
