After writing the letters to Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick, Tom began to deal with the letters that the owls had just sent.

Tom sorted the emails sent by the owl into categories: the letters from fans were archived, and when the world came to an end, they could be used as heating materials. As for the letters from students applying for teaching assistantships, they must also reply, but most of the content is the same, using a template. Let's just say he'd read their resumes and motivation letters carefully, but he regretted that they weren't a good fit for the position.

He, Professor Tom Lockhart, wanted a teaching assistant that met the following characteristics: firstly, he had to be smart enough, and secondly, he had to be very hardworking. And because the work is heavy, it also needs to be able to endure hardships. Due to the character of the professor himself, I hope that my teaching assistant has enough curiosity - if you like to read, it will be a plus.

By the way, since Professor Lockhart often reads ancient texts, the teaching assistant must know Latin.

Also, because senior students need to prepare for the test, this position is only open to students under fifth grade. First-year students are also not familiar enough with the campus to be considered either. The third and fourth grades have added elective courses. Professor Lockhart hopes that they will focus on their studies and give priority to their studies. Of course, if there is enough spare time, they can also be teaching assistants.

For the principle of fairness and justice, there are no restrictions on men and women.

After screening these conditions, Professor Lockhart found a suitable teaching assistant candidate and announced it in class the next day.

Tom went to class after finishing the letter. When he returned from get out of class in the evening, the joint reply letter from Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick was already on his desk. The two professors also communicated in private, and the two found a suitable time together: after dinner.

During this time period, the three of them had no classes—the classes in the evening were all about the history of magic and astronomy, and there was still a while before the curfew time, which was a rare free time for the deans. That is to say, the O.W.L. and N.E.W.T. exams are involved, and Professor McGonagall will use their precious rest time for meetings.

Of course, they were also a little worried, afraid that they would go there, but they just listened to Lockhart talking a lot of nonsense. After all, Lockhart's image in their minds has not been completely reversed.

But when Professor McGonagall stood outside Lockhart's office, she already understood that it was too late to go back, and there was no turning back. She glanced at Professor Flitwick next to her.

"Anyway, I have to watch the night," Professor McGonagall tried to comfort himself: the big deal is that the time for the night watch is earlier.

Flitwick paused. "If his proposal isn't reliable. We might as well play wizard chess in his office."

Professor McGonagall: ?

"It's not an ordinary wizard chess, it's an improved version, he came to me today..."

Professor McGonagall listened to Flitwick's narration and felt that this matter was full of unreliability. She was suddenly pessimistic about tonight's conversation: sure enough, that Professor Lockhart was still the same.

She knocked on the door.

Tom was looking at his work at this time: a puppet of the height of an adult, every joint can turn flexibly.

"Come in!" Hearing the knock on the door, he knew that the two deans had arrived, so he hurriedly opened the door to their office.

"Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, please come in and sit here!" Tom brought two armchairs for the two professors.

Professor McGonagall looked at the life-size doll, frowned, and sighed: "Professor Lockhart, do you have anything to do with us here?"

Tom took out a teapot and three teacups.

"I was recently researching the previous year's questions for the O.W.L. and N.E.W.T. exams, and I found that the practical exam was mainly about cracking various evil spells and proficiency in protective spells."

Professor McGonagall looked a little more serious, and she nodded, "That's right, so I suggest that Professor Lockhart train the students more in this regard."

Tom shook his head, "There is a limit to the ability of wizards. And the time in class is not enough, and the students themselves are not progressing very fast, so I thought of another way, just need Professor McGonagall and Flitwick. The help of the two of you, professor."

"Does Professor Lockhart, who is good at taking risks and proficient in various spells, also need the help of other professors?" Professor McGonagall stabbed Tom a little. After all, few professors at Hogwarts are willing to ask other professors for help. This Lockhart is good, but to disturb Filius in order to play games, Professor McGonagall couldn't stand this kind of behavior in the bottom of his heart.

Tom didn't seem to hear it: he didn't feel ashamed anyway, and he really didn't have as much accumulation as Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick. When it comes to the removal of various curses, it is still Flitwick.

"Is it related to that puppet?" Flitwick pointed to the puppet in the corner of the room.

"That's right!" Tom stood up, "I hope the two of you can help me make a puppet that can use various curses and protective spells. In this way, I can drive the puppets and students to practice against each other during class. , so that students can quickly master the protective spell in actual combat. Students can also help each other to solve the spell, so as to practice various spells."

Professor McGonagall suddenly thought the idea was a bit interesting, but she gave Tom a suspicious look: "Why don't you come on stage and fight the students yourself?"

Of course, that's because I know few curses! And if Tom doesn't transform, how can he endure the high-intensity battle for a whole class.

Tom didn't beat around the bush either. He directly stated that he could only have limited spells, and he could barely master the corresponding spells, so he needed combat puppets to help him achieve practical teaching.

At one point, Professor McGonagall thought that he had heard something wrong: that Lockhart would actually say that there was something he couldn't do?

However, his idea is really for the sake of the students, and if it is done, it will also benefit the students a lot. Since it is good for the students, Professor McGonagall will lend a helping hand.

However, there is a very critical problem in front of them: Lockhart's concept is really a bit complicated This doll, even if it is semi-automatic, is too troublesome to do.

"The first question is, where does the doll's energy come from?"

Ordinary wizards cast spells and consume their own magic power. If an inanimate puppet wants to cast magic, it must have a source of magic power.

If this puppet needs to consume the mana of the operator, it is a bit tasteless. Because it is to act as a teaching aid! No professor can do the magic of a class. Wizards rarely run out of magic power, that's because the intensity of the battle is not enough - most of the fights can be decided within a few moves, and sometimes it's a matter of a pair of waves.

But that doesn't mean the wizard's magic is unlimited. If you maintain the magic output of one class, even the professor will be drained.
