"Clark, it's obviously Malfoy who is at fault, he deserves it all," Harry couldn't help but retort after hearing Clark's words, "He was the one who provoked Buckbeak in the first place!"
Clark ignored Harry's silly words and looked at Hagrid.
"In fact, through today's incident, you should also understand that not everyone is the same as you and likes a little exciting things!"
He bluntly pointed out Hagrid's problem.
"Oh, Clark, Hagrid needs some encouragement right now!" Ron looked at Clark disapprovingly.
"Hagrid is not a child like you, he is an adult who knows what is right and what is wrong." Clark's words made Ron's ears turn red.
Hagrid put down the cup, covered his face and cried loudly, "Yes, it's all my fault. I'm not suitable to be this teacher."
"Don't worry, Hagrid, we will all support you." Ron said and looked at Clark, "He has been bad enough today. Can you not be like Percy and say anything that you can't leave for later?"
"Yes, we are all witnesses," Harry said while calming Hagrid's emotions. "You said that if the hippogriff is offended, it will attack. Who told Malfoy not to listen carefully? , we need to tell Principal Dumbledore the situation at that time."
Tears flowed from the crow's feet of Hagrid's small black eyes. He grabbed Harry and Ron and hugged them so tightly that they almost broke their bones.
However, Clark did not intend to let go of this opportunity. After all, this whole thing was expected by him.
With his strength, he was indeed able to save Malfoy without any injuries during the Care of Magical Creatures class.
He could also make suggestions to Hagrid before that, asking him to change the magical creatures introduced in the first lesson. He believed in his ability to "persuade", and Hagrid would definitely refer to his suggestions.
But he didn't do anything. It wasn't to harm Hagrid. But for many people, words of advice are not as good as the memory after he has experienced it personally, stepped on the pit, suffered a loss, and learned a lesson. profound.
It's like telling a child not to play with fire. No matter how much you say, it's better to let him get burned.
"Hagrid, Headmaster Dumbledore entrusted you with the position of teaching the Care of Magical Creatures class because of his trust in you and his belief that you can do this job well.
If you mess up, that doesn't count as betraying his trust, but if you can't solve the problem and throw it to him, that's the real irresponsibility! "
Clark's words successfully convinced Hagrid.
"Yeah, I can't embarrass Dumbledore, because he has become very passive in front of Malfoy because of the dragon farm." Hagrid burped.
Dumbledore was at a disadvantage in front of Lucius Malfoy because of the dragon farm?
Clark was stunned when he heard the news, but he kept the matter in his heart for the time being and did not try to take advantage of Hagrid too much.
"So I say that today's matter has turned over. As long as this matter did not make a big deal and was not put on Dumbledore's desk, Malfoy's father will be able to cause trouble for you and the principal later. Lido handled it easily."
Hagrid breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's just Hagrid. Although the matter is over, you still have to learn some lessons from it. Principal Dumbledore can't always defend you. Take today's incident as an example, where did you go wrong? Do you know? "
Hagrid said uneasily: "It's my fault for being too eager. I shouldn't have been too aggressive at the beginning. I should have left the hippogriff for later...get some Flobber caterpillars first..."
"No,
Your biggest problem is that you don't pay attention to this class," Clark shook his head, "it's your attitude. "
"Don't tell me how nervous you are about this class. You can't sleep all night long. Ask yourself, are you really determined to do well in this class?"
Hagrid was speechless, not knowing what to say.
Clark's words were like steel whips lashing Hagrid's heart,
"You didn't, otherwise you wouldn't have chosen the Hippogriff based on your personal preference.
The Ministry of Magic's Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures classifies all known magical creatures, and these classification levels provide an indication of the danger a magical creature poses at a glance. "
Clark continued, "If you're not sure whether a creature is a hazard to a young wizard, it's worth referring to these levels.
As far as I know, hippogriffs are magical creatures of the xxx level. They can be tamed, but this should be attempted by experts.
So letting a little wizard who has just entered third grade try to tame them is a very dangerous thing in itself.
As a teacher, you fail to take this into consideration, which in itself is a dereliction of duty on your part.
Hagrid, being a teacher is not that simple! "
Clark's words were well founded, and even Harry and Ron couldn't help Hagrid.
"And you said you should choose the Flobber caterpillar, which is overkill.
You can't hold back just because of one difficulty. After all, students take your courses to learn knowledge, prepare for future employment, and deal with magical creatures. "
Clark concluded eloquently.
“A good teacher must not only have his own teaching style and personal characteristics, but also take into account the age characteristics and academic background of the students.
According to different grades, choose teaching content with different levels of danger, from easy to difficult, make the content detailed, lively and interesting, so that students are willing to learn and gain something. This is your best reward for Principal Dumbledore. . "
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Clark, thank you, really," Hagrid's tears flowed out again, "You will definitely become a good teacher in the future."
Seeing that Clark had finished speaking, Hermione stepped forward and patted his arm, "Hagrid, I think you have drunk too much. Have a good sleep. Tomorrow will be another beautiful day."
As she spoke, Hermione picked up the large wine glass on the table, took it outside and emptied it.
"Ah, you are right. I have to cheer up and not betray Dumbledore's trust."
Hagrid said, letting go of Harry and Ron, then struggled to stand up from the chair, and followed Hermione outside the house with unsteady steps.
They heard a loud splash of water.
"What is he doing?" Harry asked nervously, just as Hermione came in with an empty wine glass.
"Put your head in the bucket," Hermione said, putting the glass away.
Hagrid returned after washing his face, with soaked hair and beard.
He wiped the tears from his eyes and said, "It's much better now."
As he spoke, he shook his head like a dog and splashed water on several of them. "I said, it's great that you guys came to see me. I'm really -"
Hagrid suddenly stopped and looked at Harry blankly, as if he had just realized that he was here.
"What are you doing, huh?" He suddenly yelled, making Harry jump. "You can't run around after dark, Harry! And you guys! Especially Clark, you actually let He does this! I always thought you were very sensible."
Hagrid strode up to Harry, grabbed his arm and pulled him to the door.
"Quick!" he said angrily, "I'll send you back to school. Don't let me see you come to me after dark again. I don't deserve what you do!"
Of course Clark would not listen to Hagrid's words. After being sent to the castle, he, Hermione and Neville were soon separated from Harry and Ron.
As an excellent person, he couldn't rest early even at night because the Hogwarts School Magazine Club had a meeting tonight.
By the time the three of them walked to the magazine office, all the employees in the originally small room were already here.
"Clark, we've been waiting for you for a while."
George was playing magic cards with Fred. When he saw Clark coming in, he immediately threw the cards in his hand on the table.
"Hey, you're about to lose, why are you kidding!" Fred complained.
"Sorry, I just came from Hagrid. It was his first day as a teacher and something happened in class." Clark explained, "Is everyone here?"
"Percy is not here. He said he needs to inspect the castle and may be a little late." Ginny crossed her arms, "But I feel like he is going on a date with Penello."
"This guy has changed a lot since he became the president of the male student union." She complained, "He doesn't care much about the magazine anymore."
It would be difficult for Qiu Zhang and Colin Creevey to interrupt when speaking like this.
Only Clark said: "In that case, let's not wait for him. Let's have a meeting first."
Several people sat around the desk, and Hermione handed out the plan she brought.
"Last year, our "Hogwarts School Journal" magazine was launched in October. So far, a total of fourteen issues have been published, and the cumulative circulation has reached 20,730 volumes..."
"The overall situation of the magazine is still growing steadily. In addition to the sales of "Hogwarts School Magazine" itself, thanks to the efforts of George and Fred, the advertising revenue in the magazine is also considerable, excluding its own printing costs. In addition to publicity expenses, the overall income is still slightly surplus..."
"This is the introduction to the situation of the magazine last semester. Next, we will ask the president to tell us about the development plan of the magazine this semester."
Amidst a burst of applause, Clark stood up.
"Thank you all, "Hogwarts School Journal" can achieve the same results as last semester, it is inseparable from your efforts, so I will first talk about the benefits that everyone is most concerned about..."
Bang!
Just when the atmosphere was at its hottest, the door to the office was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and then Percy Weasley strode in.
"Sorry, everyone, I'm late!"
He said this, but there was no apologetic expression on his face.
George and Weasley were both unhappy about his lateness, and Percy just pretended not to notice.
"It's okay. The student union president has a busy schedule, and we can understand that." Clark nodded as if he didn't care at all. "Sit down first."
After Percy sat down, he continued: "Last year, the magazine made a lot of profits. In addition to the necessary expenses, there is still some surplus, so I want to use some of the money to organize a team-building activity during the Christmas holiday. , go out for a trip.”
"Awesome!" George and Fred clapped their hands happily, and Ginny and others also had smiles on their faces.
"Okay," Clark waved his hand, "We will discuss the specific team building location at that time, and then we will start talking about the staff arrangement of the magazine club this semester."
At this time, everyone cheered up. After all, the business of the school magazine is booming, so everyone is naturally pursuing their own job positions.
"The first is the position of editor-in-chief of the magazine. Percy Weasley did a good job in this position last year and made a great contribution to the standardized operation of the entire magazine."
Percy held his head up proudly.
"But!" Clark glanced at him.
"This year, our editor-in-chief Percy was promoted to the president of the Boys' Union. This position is responsible for the management of boys in the entire school and has a heavy task.
In order not to affect his work, Percy will be promoted to the honorary editor of the magazine, responsible for the communication between the magazine and Hogwarts.
As for his original magazine management work, Hermione will be responsible for taking over. "
"This..." The applause of George and others interrupted Percy's words. He glanced at Clark, who was standing there with an expressionless face, hesitated for a moment, and finally closed his mouth helplessly.
"Hermione, your tasks this year are not small.
Last semester, in order to ensure the normal operation of the school magazine, we used magic cards and Lockhart's new book serialization, which mainly focused on sharing interesting things on campus, with more emphasis on entertainment content.
But as a school magazine, disseminating knowledge is our job.
Therefore, in addition to stabilizing the magazine results this semester, we also need to actively seek transformation and try to achieve a balance between entertainment content and academic content.
After all, entertainment is only temporary, and only high-quality content can ensure the long-term vitality of our magazine. "
Hermione nodded and wrote down carefully in her notebook.
“In terms of academic content, I think you can actively seek help from the professors at the school. They are all leaders in their respective fields and will surely have many interesting insights.
In addition, we can also organize some corresponding essay solicitation activities to solicit essays from students of all grades in the school and select suitable works.
And we should establish long-term relationships with excellent content providers and proactively request manuscripts from them..."
Clark arranged the various tasks of the magazine this semester one by one, and everyone present concentrated on recording what he said.
Occasionally, when talking about themselves, they would also take the initiative to ask questions or give their own suggestions, which made the whole meeting go very smoothly.
Except, that Percy who suddenly seemed a little out of place.
