Huh? There's a magic school here.

Chapter 27 Preparations Before the Start of School (3)

“Welcome, Professor Flitwick,” Andres said, raising his glass in a gesture of welcome.

"Thank you, Principal Andres." Professor Flitwick and Professor McGonagall raised their glasses in response to Andres.

"Hmm, the lamb chops taste good today. I specifically asked Dobby to make them, so you can have as many as you like."

"Don't worry, Headmaster. After all, Hogwarts is my home too, so I won't stand on ceremony."

"Of course, Professor Flitwick, you can ask for anything you need, or you can ask Dobby and the others to help you purchase it. I will provide you with a settling-in allowance, and you can also go to the Muggle world to buy it yourself in the next couple of days. Don't worry, this money will be distributed to all professors and staff after they arrive here. It's just that we are unable to provide Galleons right now, and I'm very sorry."

"To be honest, I don't really have many needs. What I'm more looking forward to is whether new spells will appear in the library of this world. I'm also very curious about the system."

"Oh, right, you reminded me. I'll consider the library issue tomorrow. After all, the children will be using it once they arrive. I also plan to exchange for two more study rooms. Mainly, I want to separate the students from the three different academic years, since their study schedules are different, and the pace of their classes will be different if they're separated."

"Yes, I agree. Professor McGonagall mentioned this to me this afternoon. I will prepare different lesson plans for five-year and three-year students, especially for third-year students, since they are fewer in number and closer to adults, so their understanding of magic will be better."

“Principal Andres, Professor Flitwick, I think we can mentor the three-year students in addition to their regular classes. After all, we live in a world without magic, and we don’t have that much to do right now. We have plenty of free time. Even if we recruit a small number of three-year students next year or the year after, it won’t have any impact. Our faculty will also be expanding, so it shouldn’t be a problem for each of us to take on a few people.”

"How could I not have thought of that? Professor McGonagall's suggestion is more like a way of managing students after they graduate from university in the Muggle world. After graduating from university in the Muggle world, a small number of people will want to pursue higher education. They will often make requests to professors in their field. Once their requests are approved, they will conduct higher-level research in their academic field under the guidance of the professors. And their numbers will not be large, with each professor taking on a few students. The professors will also teach other students in the university. This is perfectly feasible."

“I have no objections, but I hope the classroom for the Spells class can be prepared before the children arrive. This will be more conducive to their learning.”

"No problem, Professor. By the way, after dinner, I'll redeem your Ravenclaw Dean's office. Should I arrange it for you on the eighth floor? Or do you have any other suggestions?"

“There’s no need for a better position, Principal Andres. I’m already used to it.”

"Will Professor McGonagall come with us to take a look later?"

"No, Principal Andres, I still need to go back and write back to all the students to inform them to wait at their doorsteps for the Knights bus according to the time specified in the letter."

After dinner, Andres and Professor Flitwick returned to the eighth floor, while Professor McGonagall went back to her office.

"Redeem one Dean's Office Card"

"Exchange successful. One hundred system points will be deducted."

Silently recite the command while facing the office door, then select the Ravenclaw Dean's office. A flash of white light appeared inside the office, and the furnishings became much more vivid and lifelike. The overall color scheme was sky blue, and the ceiling was decorated with stars.

"Ravenclaw Headmaster's Office (Level 1): This office provides the Headmaster with a workspace and lounge, allowing them to get sufficient rest and relieve fatigue outside of work. The fatigue recovery rate increases by 5% for each level this room upgrades. Note that excessively high fatigue levels will reduce employee productivity and may even cause employees to go out for a walk until their mood improves."

"Thank you, Principal Andres. I think this will make my work more enjoyable."

"Then I won't disturb your rest, Professor!" After saying that, Andres watched Professor Flitwick walk into his office and then turned back to the door of his own office.

"Use the principal's office card."

After a few seconds, they opened the door and found that the previously somewhat empty principal's office now contained some new items. For example, several portraits of past principals had been added to the wall paintings, and they all gestured to Andres. A somewhat antique globe had also appeared in the corner of the office, and a shield and longsword hung on the wall, while the bookshelves were filled with many more books.

Andres stepped forward and picked up a book—a travelogue by Riba Hypopolachi, a South American sorcerer considered one of the world's most renowned apothecaries. He had studied in Castelobusch in his youth. Also on the shelf were his works, including "Advanced Potion Making," "The Complete Guide to Asian Antidotes," and "How to Make Simple Antidotes."

In another row of books, Andres also saw Shipworth's potion-making book, *The Potion That Keeps You Awake All Day*, written by the inventor of the potion. Next to it was *The Book of Potions*, whose author, Zygmunt Batch, was also a potion-making genius and a renowned expert. Influenced by his grandmother from a young age, he had a special love for potions, and after being admitted to Hogwarts, he further demonstrated his talent in this field. However, he later dropped out of school in anger because he was too old to participate in the Potions Contest.

The book, *How to Make Someone Fall in Love with You*, contains numerous recipes for various love potions. It was written by the witch Rondemont Morandi. Upon seeing the book, Andres silently scoffed, "Do I really need to make this kind of thing? What a disgrace to wizards!"

Saxetha Targwood was born in 1874 and also attended Hogwarts. However, she was more popular among the witches, and she invented many beauty potions. Even after her death, many people still commemorate her. Her most famous work is "The Secret of a Beautiful Day".

Herbalist Tilden Toots is the author of "How to Properly Use Rejuvenating and Greening Agents," but don't be misled by the title; his agents only work on plants and are ineffective on animals and humans.

The last row of books also contains works written by the ancestors of the Harry Potter family. These books are likely only publicly available in this world; within the Harry Potter universe, they would be family secrets. These books contain the secrets to the Potter family's rise to wealth and power. For example, Lynfred Potter was a wizard hidden in the Muggle world who combined magic and medicine to invent many potions. His "Medical Guide" is still in use today, with Bone Spirit being the most famous.

Andres looked at the books with amusement; it seemed this upgrade was a potions-focused session.
