Meanwhile, Harry Potter found Levin 08.
“I wish Dumbledore had announced this sooner,” Harry said with some regret. “I would have loved to join your class, but I found Professor Lupin last night and he’s teaching me the Patronus Charm. I don’t want to let him down.”
“It’s alright, Harry. Professor Lupin is a truly talented professor. You’ll learn a lot from him,” Levin said with a smile. “One-on-one teaching is much more effective than large classes. Others will be envious of you.”
Moreover, Levin knew better than anyone that Harry's biggest concern was not Lupin, but his best friend, Ron.
Levin's study group—no, it should be called a club now—Hermione will definitely join. If Harry joins too, what will Ron do?
Harry wouldn't want his best friend to feel isolated.
Since the school has granted authorization and provided the venue and resources, we should make good use of them.
The venue was an abandoned large classroom located in the corridor on the third floor of the Astronomy Tower.
For the past few nights, Levin has been bringing a group of strong men to Ravenclaw to help him clean and set up the classroom for club use.
This naturally included Levin's close friends such as Ciri, Penelope, and Cho Chang, as well as several roommates such as Steve. Even Luna joined in, and she even brought Ginny from Gryffindor.
Hermione from Gryffindor was naturally also conscripted.
"So this is all Ravenclaw's business, why do I have to help?" Hermione complained as she used the [Copywriting] spell to help Levin copy the textbook.
"What do you mean this is all Ravenclaw's business? Don't you want to join in?" Levin glared at the girl, as if he would devour her alive if she uttered a single word of refusal.
Hermione stuck out her tongue and said coquettishly, "Really, you were so sure I'd come looking for you, weren't you... Ravenclaws have been making such a splash lately, Ron's about to call me a Gryffindor traitor."
"What do you care what he said?" Levin shook his head, then tempted, "How about this, if you come and help out these next few days, I'll allow you to participate in the club's management."
"Really?" Hermione's eyes lit up, then she asked worriedly, "But wasn't it Senior Sister Krivat who was in charge of the management work before? What will happen to her if I join?"
“I’m certainly not asking you to replace her, but to take over her role,” Levin explained. “I mean, Penelope will graduate this academic year, and the club will definitely need to find someone else to manage things. How about trying out the challenge?”
"Of course! Leave it to me!"
Hermione's interest was immediately piqued, and she began to think from a managerial perspective.
"Levin, have you thought about how the club will organize the courses?" she asked Levin excitedly.
"What, do you have any good suggestions?" Although Levin had already had some ideas, he decided to give Hermione some room to develop them since she was so enthusiastic.
“After your study group was formed, I observed your courses. Your study group used to have about fifty or sixty people, crammed into a large class, and one person could manage it.”
"But after the expansion, the number will increase several times over. With hundreds of young wizards, the original teaching methods will be very ineffective."
Levin knew immediately that the girl had grasped the key issue.
"So you've been secretly keeping an eye on the study group all along, huh? You even know exactly how many of us are in it. Why were you being so hesitant when we invited you?" Levin teased.
Before Hermione could speak, he pressed on, "So what do you think we should do?"
“Look at our house, we divide classes by age and level. I think that’s a great idea,” Hermione suggested earnestly. “Since the club’s size is no longer suitable for group instruction, why not divide the young wizards into levels and teach them more targeted content?”
After listening to Hermione's advice, Levin nodded repeatedly.
Hermione's idea coincided with his.
After setting up the classroom, Levin called Penelope and Cirihong, along with Hermione, and the four of them seriously discussed the next teaching plan.
The four discussed until midnight, and Hermione returned to Gryffindor alone.
Levin strolled with Cirella and Penelope toward the Ravenclaw Tower.
"I never imagined that your study group would become an activity that all the young wizards aspire to participate in." Looking at the boy in front of her, Cirella said with some emotion, "It's truly a surprise, isn't it?"
“I am very happy, that’s for sure,” Levin said, waving his hand with a flourish. “But it wouldn’t be accurate to call it a surprise, because ever since the study group started, I have been convinced that my course would definitely develop to this point; the only difference was the time it would take.”
"Is this the confidence of a genius?" Penelope looked at Levin with surprise, her eyes full of admiration.
“Besides, this isn’t just my study group, it’s our club together,” Levin added. “Ciri, without you, I couldn’t possibly teach so many young wizards all by myself; and Penelope, this club also needs your daily management.”
“You’re right, Levin. Participating in the establishment of this club will be my proudest achievement at Hogwarts,” Penelope said, looking at the boy with emotion.
The three of them suddenly fell silent.
A few minutes later, Penelope's voice rang out, tinged with melancholy and confusion:
"Ciri, we're graduating this year."
"graduate?"
Levin seemed puzzled by this topic.
He didn't understand what the other person was nervous about.
Would the Hogwarts student council president really worry about being unemployed after graduation?
“Ciri, you and Levin are such good friends, you must have already decided on your job after graduation.” Although it was a question, Penelope’s tone was full of certainty.
“I’m going to become an Auror,” Ciri gave her answer.
This was something they had agreed upon beforehand.
Jaina is currently focused on increasing her influence within the Ministry of Magic, and this is a time when she is short-handed.
One Tonks alone is not enough. No matter how much he is promoted, he can only be a squad leader at most. After all, his seniority is what it is. If he is forced to rise any higher, no one will be convinced.
Therefore, she urgently needs Shirella to help her after graduation.
“So, what kind of work do you want me to do?” Penelope asked.
She looked at Ciri, then at Levin.
From her resolute gaze, Levin could tell that she valued their opinions highly.
Levin thought for a moment and said, "As a friend, I would say that I hope your future job will be one that you don't have to work too hard, worry about money, or bow down to power. Most importantly, I hope it will be a job that you are interested in."
Penelope smiled somewhat complicatedly on her beautiful face: "Thank you for your blessing, Levin. No wonder you can make one girl after another flock to you."
She sighed:
"But you should understand that this is not the answer I want."
Looking into the girl's determined eyes, Levin sighed:
"Fine, fine, I give up. If you insist on doing this, then become an Auror with Cirira. Jaina will take care of you."
"So it was Jaina?"
Levin could see that Penelope had a knowing look on her face.
It seems she had noticed this matter a long time ago.
This female student council president is indeed very wise in some ways.
When did you notice this?
Levin asked curiously.
“After learning that you accepted the Ministry of Magic’s invitation to participate in the dragon-slaying mission,” Penelope explained, “you are a proud little wizard. As I know you, you are definitely not the kind of person who would become a henchman for the Ministry of Magic for a little honor, unless you have 740 friends or allies in the Ministry.”
"Then I discovered that the people who were on the mission with you were Deputy Director Jaina and Miss Tonks."
"Back in last year, I heard Miss Tonks' name from Ciri. It seems you two have a good relationship."
“But Miss Tonks alone is not enough to get you involved in this mission—her position is not qualified.”
"Based on the travel business card that Ciri gave me during the summer vacation, and the reports after the completion of the dragon-slaying mission, I made a guess that your group actually completed the mission a long time ago, but did not return to the Underworld after that, and stayed there for vacation."
"The fact that Deputy Director Jaina was able to vacation with you shows that your relationship is much better than we imagined."
Penelope's series of analyses and conjectures left Levin in awe.
This girl is indeed very suitable to work at the Ministry of Magic.
Then he heard the other person say, "Levin, Ciri, don't you think I'm very opportunistic?"
Before they could answer, Penelope gave her own answer: "Yes, I am pragmatic, but for a wizard from an ordinary family like mine, to achieve something in the magical world, I must find suitable supporters."
"Levin, Ciri, I'm not such a genius. I'm just an ordinary witch. At most, I work a little harder than others, but my achievements are not enough for me to break through the shackles and make a name for myself. You are the only ones I can turn to."
"Don't worry, Penelope, we won't blame you," Levin said, patting her shoulder reassuringly.
Cirira also said firmly, "That's right, Penelope, you still have us by your side."
The moonlight, like flowing water, quietly streamed into the corridor through the window.
Penelope's eyes sparkled, and she suddenly reached out and pulled Levin into her arms.
Then he gave Ciri a hug as well.
"Thank you, I will not let you down."
Levin stiffened slightly, sensing the boundless affection contained within that soft, yielding body.

Chapter 211 Club Class Division
Before we knew it, it was time for our group learning classes to begin again.
More than one hundred young wizards gathered in the new classroom.
Once everyone had arrived, Penelope began handing out a test form to each person.
"Due to the large number of young wizards participating in the group... no, I should say the club, we have initially decided to divide them into classes and develop learning plans based on different groups. The group division will be determined based on your spell level and willingness to learn."
"Next, please fill out this test form, and then follow Miss Shirella to take the test. The test results will directly determine which group you will be assigned to."
According to Levin's plan, the young wizards joining the club will be divided into approximately three groups.
The first class will specifically teach the [Guardian Charm], which was the original requirement for them to form the study group.
The second class will teach some basic dueling spells, such as the Disarming Charm, Stunning Charm, Armor Charm, and Binding Charm. The main purpose is to give young wizards some self-defense capabilities, replacing the original role of the dueling club.
The third class is the extension class, which is also Levin's ultimate goal after upgrading the study group to a club.
In this class, Levin decided to impart some of his unique magical theories, namely "arcane magic theory," and to teach some arcane magic.
To this end, Levin even rescheduled the study time for Class 3, completely different from that of Classes 1 and 2.
To join this class, you must have completed the courses in the first and second classes before you are eligible to learn the advanced content.
