Chapter 7 - #7Chapter 7 Surprise!

Grades five to seven are different.

Just like the college entrance examination in the East in the previous life, students of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry also have to go through OWL and NEWT exams.

Fifth and seventh grades are a time of intense study, and he doesn't want to frantically prepare teaching materials and deal with all kinds of questioning from senior students.

If that happens, I won't have time to do what I want to do.

Based on this, Claire wanted to have an easier year at Hogwarts.

Therefore, grades one to four are the best choices.

As for Claire's words, Quirrell naturally had no objection as he had received Voldemort's orders.

And since Quirrell had no objection, it was very easy to get through to Professor McGonagall.

"Okay, since you two have agreed, please submit the selected teaching materials to me as soon as possible. I will notify all students as soon as possible."

Professor McGonagall nodded.

"Okay... okay, Professor McGonagall, I'll go back and get ready... and write to you when I'm done."

Quirrell agreed, stood up and said goodbye, "If...if there's nothing else, I'll...go back and get ready, Professor McGonagall."

Professor McGonagall nodded, and she and Claire watched Quirrell leave the fireplace.

After a flash of green fire, Quirrell disappeared from the two of them. Professor McGonagall stood up suddenly, walked over to Claire, and said with some remorse, "Claire, I'm terribly sorry. When I first saw your application letter, I was very excited. I meant to have you take over Professor Kettleburn's course. After all, as you know, he's been on probation at least sixty-two times while teaching at the school, and his health and age won't allow him to stay in this position for much longer."

"Of course, this is also related to the affinity you have shown with magical creatures during your time at school. I believe you are the best candidate to succeed Professor Kettleburn."

"But I don't know why Dumbledore arranged for you two to be the professors of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. One is obviously enough, but he wants you two to take risks."

"Oh, it's really hard to imagine what the consequences would be if something happened between you two after this year is over."

Professor McGonagall was originally a very serious person. She never smiled and had a strong prestige in Gryffindor College.

However, at this moment, Professor McGonagall seemed to be afraid that Claire would be angry, and kept explaining to her.

In fact, this is not Professor McGonagall's fault, nor is it Professor McGonagall's favoritism towards Claire, an outstanding graduate of Gryffindor College.

But Claire saved her and her husband Elphinstone Elcott's life.

Coincidentally, after Professor McGonagall married Elphinstone Elcott, Elphinstone Elcott moved to Hogsmeade for Professor McGonagall.

When Claire opened a Chinese restaurant in Hogsmeade, the building she chose was right near Professor McGonagall's house.

It was in this way that Claire became familiar with Mr. Elcott.

It was also during this year that Claire promptly treated Mr. Elcott, who was bitten by a poisonous tentacle, and sent him to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries.

Because of this, and her relationship with Professor McGonagall, Claire often met Mr. Elcott and Professor McGonagall in the years after graduation.

Emotionally, it's naturally unusual.

It is precisely because of this that Professor McGonagall's eager explanation just now happened.

Claire smiled and pushed Professor McGonagall back to her seat. She stood in front of Professor McGonagall and said casually, "Don't worry, Professor McGonagall. I think Headmaster Dumbledore will definitely be confident in doing this. He certainly won't want to cheat us, the outstanding graduates of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

"What's more, I'm an outstanding graduate of Gryffindor. As a Gryffindor graduate, he's definitely not going to try to trick me, right? Maybe Headmaster Dumbledore has discovered a way to break the curse, and this change is precisely in preparation for that."

At this point, Claire changed the subject, her voice taking on a hint of frivolity as she jokingly said, "Even if Headmaster Dumbledore wants to trick us, that's fine, Professor McGonagall. Don't forget that I'm the Gryffindor lion. If my life really has to depend on it, I'll resign."

Professor McGonagall was slightly taken aback when she heard this, then a smile appeared on her face and she said unhappily, "I thought you were going to steal candy from Dumbledore's office like you did at school, but you didn't expect this? This is not the style of Gryffindor's heroic Lindemann Lion King."

Hearing Professor McGonagall's words, Claire touched her nose awkwardly.

When he was in school, he was caught countless times because he wanted to sneak into Dumbledore's office to observe the Apparition Rune of the Phoenix Fawkes, and he could only use the ridiculous excuse of stealing Dumbledore's candy to get away with it.

The title of Gryffindor's heroic Lindemann Lion King was given to him by many students of Gryffindor House after he single-handedly defeated players from the other three houses on the Quidditch field and won the annual cup.

This name was very famous among the students of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry back then.

Looking back now, perhaps due to my childish physique and somewhat immature personality, many things happened to me that are so embarrassing that I could even dig a Hogwarts castle out of it with my toes.

"Professor McGonagall, there's an old saying in the East that a hero never brags about his past achievements. Those things are all in the past."

Claire said a little embarrassedly.

"By the way, I can just use the same teaching materials I used when I was in school. I still have some unique insights into what I learned before."

Professor McGonagall smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, let's do as you say. As an outstanding graduate of Hogwarts, I believe in your ability."

After the two chatted for a while, Claire got up and said goodbye.

The green fire died away in Professor McGonagall's square eyes, and she sank back into her seat.

Professor McGonagall frowned slightly, not knowing what she was thinking about. She paused on a file for a long time with a quill in her hand, but in the end she did not write a single word.

Putting down the quill, Professor McGonagall stood up and quickly left her office. As she walked quickly, her wizard robe fluttered in the wind, showing her inner anxiety and restlessness.

Going straight up, Professor McGonagall arrived outside the headmaster's room in the castle tower.

"Jelly Slugs!"

Professor McGonagall gave the command and walked into the headmaster's office without stopping.
