Chapter 20: donkey at hogwarts
Filch took Sherlock to an office on the third floor and handed him the key.
"This office was used by the last defense professor, Quirrell, but during the summer vacation I cleaned out all his belongings, and the elves in the castle have also thoroughly cleaned up, you can rest assured. live in."
Sherlock took the key from him, and Filch's old face showed a complimenting smile like a blooming chrysanthemum.
"You first set up your room, Professor Forrest. I'll go back and prepare some things. When I'm patrolling the castle, I'll come back to you on the third floor."
After he finished speaking, he turned and left here.
After watching his back disappear at the corner of the stairs, Sherlock inserted the key into the door and walked into his future residence at Hogwarts.
The office outside is very spacious, with a bookshelf occupying half of the wall on the wall, a clothes rack behind the door, and a large desk in the room facing the door.
Here, too, as Filch said, it was swept clean, and there was not even a trace of dust on the bookshelves and table tops.
Sherlock's suitcase was placed on the side of the desk.
He took out all the books and notes inside, arranged them on the bookshelf, and then took the changed robes in the suitcase to the bedroom at the back of the office.
The bed has already been made by the elf to help him, and the toiletries and daily necessities are also well prepared.
The students living at Hogwarts are really happy, and Sherlock even doubts that the elves in the castle will even help wash the clothes they usually change.
Let these students live a life that is much happier than at home, reaching out for food and opening their mouths.
After simply tidying up his office and bedroom, he sat down at the desk and picked up the defense class schedule given by Professor McGonagall at the end of the dinner.
To be honest, being a professor at Hogwarts is really not an easy job.
Especially main courses like Charms, Shapeshifting, Potions, Herbs, History of Magic, Astronomy, and Defense Against the Dark Arts.
There are a total of seven grades of students in the castle, and the main course of each grade has at least one major class a week (about one and a half hours, except for the astronomy class), which means that these seven professors are basically from Monday to Friday. Can't be idle.
Does it sound like it's okay, and it's not too hard?
But don't forget, Hogwarts is divided into four houses.
Students from the four colleges of the same grade will not take each class together. Generally, students from two colleges will take a class together, which means that the class professor of the same grade needs to take two classes, and the workload is Double it!
If you compare it to a normal Muggle school.
It's like a seven-year primary school with two classes in each grade, but there is only one math teacher in the whole school, who is responsible for the math classes and homework of all the students in the fourteen classes of the school!
There are 14 classes in a week, each class is not only a large class of more than one hour, but also after class, I have to correct and check the homework of all the students in the school.
The life of the students at Hogwarts is not necessarily hard, but the professors of these seven main courses are really more tired than the donkeys of the production team.
From today onwards, Sherlock will also join the Hogwarts production team, becoming a donkey that does not dare to rest.
He looked at tomorrow's classes. The first class in the morning was Ravenclaw and Gryffindor in the first grade, and there was Gryffindor in the afternoon class, but this time it was in the second year, which was Harry them.
The arrangement on the timetable was exactly what he wanted. First, he tried the two lessons in the lower grades to see how the students responded, and then he could make changes to the courses in the upper grades.
After preparing the content for tomorrow's class, there was a sudden knock on the door of the office, and Filch's compliment sounded outside.
"Professor Forrest, we can go."
Sherlock looked at the time. It was just past eight o'clock. According to the original owner's diary, the curfew should start at nine o'clock.
He sorted out his robes, his expression returned to indifference again, and opened the door.
"Is there going to be a curfew patrol before nine o'clock?"
Filch explained to him.
"It is not necessary to check the curfew when patrolling the castle. It is precisely because it is not curfew time, there may be students who use magic spells in the corridor, which is not allowed according to school rules. Follow the rules, but the students who have been admitted in recent years have become more and more reckless, especially the students of Gryffindor."
He said, and then he seemed to remember some bad memory, and his face became gloomy.
"If you want me to say, Professor Dumbledore is still too kind. It's time to restore the previous castle management system and treat those disobedient students with handcuffs and whips! This makes them dare not make mistakes again!"
My dear, I didn't expect you to be an old man.
Sherlock complained silently in his heart, but he didn't respond to what he said on the bright side. Instead, he turned around and closed the door of the office, and started the Hogwarts patrol tour at night with him.
"Where shall we go first?" Sherlock asked.
Filch said without hesitation: "First go to the Gryffindor lounge, the first night of every semester, I will catch students who use magic around there, especially those two little bastards. After entering school!"
His last sentence subconsciously gritted his teeth, and Sherlock could guess without thinking about it. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
There was no other Gryffindor student who could make Filch hold such a grudge, except the twins from the Weasleys.
Sherlock didn't really care where Filch wanted to patrol.
He asked to come out with him this time, just to take the opportunity to get acquainted with the entire Hogwarts Castle.
You don’t need to know every place very clearly, as long as you know roughly where the lounges of the four colleges are, where are the offices of the teachers of each subject, and what are the commonly used classrooms.
This way, he won't be blacked out in the castle tomorrow. Like a freshman who just started school, he doesn't even know where the door of Hogwarts opens.
They were walking on the stairs leading to the tower where the Gryffindor lounge was located. As soon as they reached the fifth floor, they heard two people talking from the corner.
"Fortunately, Professor Dumbledore didn't expel us."
"But even that's shameful enough. I don't even dare to imagine what people will think of us when we return to the Gryffindor lounge in this outfit."
"Hey! What are you afraid of? These bandages on our bodies are medals only for heroes!"
"Yes, in the car during the day, we were indeed seen as heroes by everyone, and now people will only call us bears. And Professor Forrest, I even waved at him in the car.. ...I don't know if there will be his class tomorrow, I think we should go to Madam Pomfrey to make a fake note, or I really don't have the face to go to his class in this way."
With a bandage on his head, Harry chatted with Ron, who had a plaster on his hand, and walked around the corner of the stairs.
Then they saw that Professor Forrest, whom they had just mentioned, was standing there with Filch, looking at them strangely.
