Clarence directly taught the Gryffindor male student the key universal theoretical knowledge, techniques, and necessary spells for the first year of Defense Against the Dark Arts Class.
Highlighting the theoretical knowledge was enough, but when it came to techniques and spells, he couldn't just sit there and teach; he had to go to the front and demonstrate them.
One taught meticulously, the other listened and learned earnestly, completely unaware that the door to the second-floor room behind the classroom podium had opened at some point, and the Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor was leaning against the doorframe, quietly watching the two young Wizards below.
The admiration and affection in his eyes were almost overflowing.
It's perfectly normal for teachers to like good students, not to mention someone like Clarence who had already mastered the essence of all first-year courses before classes even officially began.
How could such an excellent and gifted student not be favored by the Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor?
He even decided that if Clarence could maintain such excellence in the second half of the year, then having him serve as an assistant to help him teach students would be an excellent choice.
However, the prerequisite was that Clarence would still be so outstanding at that time.
As for the first half of the year's curriculum, according to the Professor's thoughts, it was just as Clarence had guessed, only teaching basic theoretical knowledge.
After all, this course is extremely dangerous, especially when dangerous creatures are used as teaching materials, so the young Wizards must first master the theoretical knowledge, and then in the second half of the year, they will begin to learn spells and practical applications.
Because of the Professor's idea, when the young Wizards were all present and class officially began, there were no unexpected incidents like in the previous Charms Class, but when asking questions, Clarence was often asked to answer, adding at least 20 points to Ravenclaw in one class.
After the Defense Against the Dark Arts Class, Clarence joined some senior students from his house who wanted to go to the library, planning to read for a while before heading to the Great Hall for lunch.
Because after the two morning classes, there was still some time before lunch, and this time was for students from the other three houses to rest, play, and relax.
But for Ravenclaw students, it meant either returning to their common room to read in the private library or going to the public library to read.
Skipping the lunch process, the first class in the afternoon was Transfiguration Class, again with Gryffindor.
As he stepped into the classroom with a few classmates from his house, the first thing Clarence saw was a tabby cat squatting on the podium desk.
He wondered, did Professor McGonagall have this habit so early, or do all first-year new students receive this treatment every year?
This so-called habit referred to an Animagus transforming into an animal to give the newly admitted first-year students a small surprise with Transfiguration, hoping to pique the young Wizards' interest.
Clarence dared not act like the protagonists in some fan fiction from his previous life, pretending not to recognize McGonagall's Animagus and going to pet the cat.
Although ignorance is bliss, and children do like cute cats and dogs, even if he had petted it, Professor McGonagall wouldn't truly blame him, but the first impression would certainly not be good.
Moreover, such impulsive behavior was completely inconsistent with the persona Clarence had deliberately cultivated; there was no need to leave a bad impression on the Transfiguration Professor just for this.
The class process was theory in the first half and practical application in the second half, and Clarence once again added 5 points to Ravenclaw.
In fact, seeing his proficient mastery of Transfiguration and no issues with basic theory, Professor McGonagall simply had him act as the assistant for this class again, replaying the scene from the first Charms Class in the morning.
However, this time the young Wizards were much more well-behaved, after all, McGonagall was not like Flitwick; at least when facing such a serious Professor as McGonagall, the little ones dared not act as they did in the morning.
Therefore, Clarence gained a large number of simplification points, making him smile until the end of class.
Clarence himself knew very well why he was so happy, but in the eyes of the unaware McGonagall, she felt that this child seemed to really enjoy teaching others, look how happy he was...
So she believed that Clarence would definitely become a Professor at a magic school like her in the future, as for whether he would serve at Hogwarts?
Anyway, McGonagall certainly hoped that her student could become her colleague in the future!
As for the behavior she sensed from Dumbledore, who seemed very concerned and wary of this young Wizard, this made McGonagall very puzzled and confused, not understanding why Dumbledore would be like this.
By the time of History of Magic Class in the evening, Clarence should have also blended in with the crowd, although he was not like the other students, especially the Slytherins who were in the same class and simply fell asleep.
Instead, like the other Ravenclaw students, he was either reading other books or doing homework.
It wasn't until Clarence heard the History of Magic's ghost Professor actually take the initiative to ask a question, that he instinctively raised his hand.
Clarence raised his hand instinctively, so he didn't think much about it at all, and Professor Binns just casually asked a question, not expecting any student to actually raise their hand to answer.
Both were stunned for a while due to the surprise, then Professor Binns reacted and motioned for Clarence to stand up and answer.
This unexpected situation naturally attracted the attention of the awake Ravenclaw students; as for the Slytherin students, they were sleeping too soundly and didn't wake up at all.
Hearing Clarence's perfectly correct answer, Professor Binns, very unusually, added 3 points to him.
Perhaps because he had Clarence to interact with, in subsequent classes, Professor Binns asked many questions about History of Magic, and Clarence answered them all, and his answers were very perfect; at least he couldn't find any mistakes.
By the end of the class, Clarence had managed to squeeze out over ten points from this ghost Professor, much to the surprise of the Ravenclaw students.
Because some well-informed first-year Wizards had heard from older students before the History of Magic Class how boring this course was, so to avoid wasting time, they could write homework or read other books during class.
Of course, they had also mentioned that even the most studious Ravenclaw students rarely managed to earn house points from this ghost Professor.
The last time someone was awarded points by this ghost Professor was... the last time...
After the last class of the day, the first-year new students all returned to their house common rooms.
Over the next week, not only did the newly admitted young Wizards become generally familiar with the Castle environment, but they also each made new friends.
Clarence, in particular, gained the admiration and affection of almost all Professors and staff working in the Castle, except for Headmaster Dumbledore, even the most unapproachable ones.
Of course, this situation also made Dumbledore even more wary, and he even directly instructed the portraits and ghosts in the Castle to closely monitor Clarence's every move.
