A Bite of Hogwarts

Hogwarts, rest time after lunch.

"Really?! We don't have to go to class next semester?!"

Hannah, hugging a small, meaty marinated snack, rolled around on the bed, like a salted fish who had lost its ambition suddenly hearing good news, emitting an excited sound, her eyes shining as she looked at Hermione sitting by the bed.

"Naturally, there's no need to learn what you've already learned, provided you pass the final exams."

Aileen glanced at the little iron girl amusedly, looked around at Luna and Hermione, who also had bright eyes, and shook her head with a smile, raising a finger to seriously add, "Besides, it's not that you don't have to go to class, but that you don't have to turn in homework and take repetitive exams."

"So, it's similar to you, like a teaching assistant for a certain subject?"

Hermione gently closed the *Higher Mathematics i* book in her hand, which she was almost finished with, and asked thoughtfully.

Aileen shrugged, turned her head to look at Hermione Granger, who looked pensive. Miss Granger, who had just turned 12, had previewed the contents of a book through her efforts during this period. It seemed that the mathematics aspect could be given more attention.

"It could also be a class representative, which depends on the teacher's evaluation criteria, but at least you don't have to turn in homework."

"Aileen, are you lying again? Just to make us study hard and not collectively strike?"

Luna Lovegood leaned on the upright pillow, her silver-gray eyes quietly staring at the swaying bangs on top of Aileen's head, as if trying to read Aileen's inner thoughts from it.

Faced with Luna's pure and clear pupils, Aileen scratched her cheek, patting her chest with utmost sincerity.

"We are the best of friends, when have I, Aileen, ever lied to you..."

"Oh?"

"Hmph!"

"Hehe!"

Before Aileen could finish speaking, three different but emotionally consistent eye rolls and questioning voices simultaneously gathered on Aileen "Shameless" Cassel, blocking her subsequent words directly back.

As close friends who spent most of their time together, Hermione, Luna, and Hannah didn't know much about Aileen's activities outside of school, but they knew Aileen's little devil essence exceptionally well - compared to those who were full of lies, this white-haired ball was even more hateful, she always used half-truths to mislead others.

And in the end, she always innocently blamed others... "I didn't lie, it's just that your way of understanding is wrong." Or, "How would I know that you don't know things that I know but you don't."

Aileen looked around at the three little wings with unfriendly expressions, and the bangs on top of her head perked up vigilantly.

Eh?! It seems to have caused public outrage... Then the decision is you, Professor Dumbledore.

The next moment, Aileen took out a blank employment contract and handed it to the three little loli.

"This time it's not me who said it, it's Professor Dumbledore who said it, I'm just repeating it. Look, at the bottom are the signatures of Professor Dumbledore and Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge, I just knew about the teaching arrangements for next semester in advance."

In fact, this was originally a pre-determined matter.

As long as they pass the end-of-term course tests this semester, Hermione, Luna, and Hannah can serve as class representatives or subject teaching assistants in the field they are studying when their peers are in class next semester.

The role of role models is infinite, especially when everyone sees that peers have already reached it, they will no longer have a fear of those knowledge like heavenly books - for middle and primary school students, higher mathematics and high school mathematics are not much different, anyway, they are all very, very difficult things, a blank sheet of paper is easier to absorb.

If Aileen remembered correctly, in her previous life, whether in European and American countries, or in the Soviet Union in this era, they had tried to introduce university courses into primary and secondary school education in advance, and from the results, the overall effect was still good.

"Come on, you only need to sign your name on this contract to become a temporary staff member."

Aileen took a quill from the bedside table, handed it to Hermione, and said softly with a smile.

Looking at the slightly suspicious "Calculating Machine," Aileen raised her eyebrows and added an extra sentence.

"Forgot to say, as a teaching assistant, naturally you don't have to take the final exam, it is automatically calculated according to full marks."

"Automatically... full marks?!" Hermione's eyes fluttered for a moment, and her wrist moved involuntarily.

Aileen took the quill from Hermione's hand with satisfaction and handed it to the side.

"Hannah, Luna, you see that Hermione has already signed the magic contract, what are you waiting for?"

This was a blank magic contract that she had finally managed to obtain. Only by signing this employment contract could she have a legitimate reason to trick Hermione, Hannah, Luna, and others to the research institute that was about to be built outside the school.

The mixed research of magic and science will inevitably require follow-up learning for the future hope.

Aileen never denied the importance of individual force, but compared to jealously guarding the number one in the world, she hoped to further elevate the overall vision and strength of the people around her through some of her own attempts.

Even if it is impossible for Hermione, Luna, Hannah, and others to become top wizards surpassing Albus Dumbledore and Gellert Grindelwald, then at least they must be able to stand alone when facing the Auror teams of various countries.

In this regard, the vision, knowledge, and spirit of the group of old researchers from the former Soviet Union who had experienced the Cold War and even the Great Patriotic War were particularly valuable. No one had ever been able to so luxuriously gather a group of treasures who had won the "Soviet Gold Star Labor Medal" and the "Stalin Science Award" to give lectures to teenagers.

As for whether it is useful and how much meaning there is, that is a matter that needs to be tested by time, but it is always right to prepare the process in advance.

In addition, in order to appease the emotions of the little wings, Aileen, who was free, also refocused on the Hogwarts kitchen, reforming and launching many classic Chinese and European dishes as special rewards that only Luna, Hermione, and Hannah could enjoy.

On the other hand, Aileen was also waiting for good news from Dumbledore.

Wanting to cross several countries and tens of thousands of kilometers to introduce so many Muggle scholars from the former Soviet Union in one breath, and to have them all live in the Hogwarts area that no Muggle had ever set foot in before, Dumbledore was facing no small difficulty.

However, with the teaching and sorting out of these days, the economic undercurrents of the entire world, and the list of "Ministry of Magic officials who have accepted bribes" provided by the goblin Douglas, the situation gradually began to become strange, especially the attitude of the Ministry of Magic.

"Recently, there should be problems within Gringotts Wizarding Bank. And in the outside society, there are also rumors of the resurrection of the mysterious man. Many wizards are going to Gringotts to withdraw gold, but the process is more complicated and cumbersome than before. In addition, the teaching reform of Hogwarts has been submitted for the third time, and we need to reply as soon as possible."
