Chapter 882 Obligations

In the third grade, the little wizards have basically understood the wizarding world, so there will be more elective courses for students to choose from, and there will also be more opportunities to go out and meet different wizards. It can be said that the third grade is a turning point in the entire student career of wizards.

Students will face more choices and novel things.

For the boy who survived the catastrophe, he was unhappy. He did not get the parent's signature to go to Hogsmeade Village, which meant that he still could not go to see the village of pure wizards. At the same time, the elective courses were not very interesting, especially the divination class. The startled divination professor said that he saw the omen of death from him, which made Harry upset. Coupled with what happened before school started, I always feel that I am shrouded in misfortune.

Ron was also unhappy because his pet disappeared, which made him unable to test many spells and even couldn't complete his homework smoothly.

As for Grant, she was very relaxed. She didn't have the learning talent like Hermione, so she didn't need the props to reset time. She just needed to do a good job of Duran and Ron's tail.

No one used the props to reset time. Even Hermione, the good girl who was loved by Professor McGonagall, did not want to take all the courses. She just chose a few elective courses that she was curious about. The rest of the time was spent with Luna on the "Reading Wizards" activity. They recruited two new people, both of whom were Hufflepuff juniors.

The content of Reading Wizards has also become richer, not only reading diaries, but also some travel notes. After communicating with classmates from wizard families, Hermione found that even children from wizard families did not go to as many places as she did. That's right, because of Robin, Hermione has been to almost all wizard villages in Europe and learned a lot of strange stories that wizards don't know. With Luna's encouragement, Hermione decided to write her own travel notes.

Travel notes are much more interesting than reading notes, and the readership of "Reading Wizards" is increasing rapidly. It is true that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles; what you learn from books is always shallow, and you must practice it to know it.

"Senior Hermione, didn't you notice that your cat is always reading?" The junior found that Crookshanks had been flipping through the books they borrowed from the library out of boredom.

"How could it be? It just happened to be flipping through the books. You should know that cats are active animals." Hermione didn't think her big yellow cat would read.

Crookshanks also meowed twice in cooperation, indicating that it couldn't read, and then retracted his gaze and continued to read. It's not easy to be a wise cat, and it's even more uncomfortable to be more active in thought than in action.

The junior thought that she was overthinking, and continued to lower her head to write her own reading experience. Next time, her article will also be published in the newspaper.

"Professor Duran, I'm looking for you." Professor McGonagall stopped Duran.

"Professor, how can I help you?"

"You have joined our big family for a year. I think you have gotten used to it, so you should take on the obligations of the school." In fact, it is some things that professors need to do in the school, such as supervising students and arranging activities. There are not many professors in the school, but there are many things to do, so it's good to have more helpers.

Last semester, everyone thought that Duran was an ordinary Muggle who might not adapt to the wizarding world, so they didn't assign him a job. But this year, everyone will not be fooled again. The professor must fulfill his obligations.

"Okay, do you want me to be responsible for the night patrol? No problem."

"Duran, you must pay attention. You should know that the atmosphere of anxiety in the school is already very heavy, so I hope you will not create pressure on any college like last semester."

"Okay." It's boring to always bully children, so Duran didn't think of continuing.

"I hope you can do it, and be careful of Dementors. Although they can't enter the school, I'm worried that those creatures will not be so obedient." Professor McGonagall said worriedly.

"No problem, I will be careful."

Finally, there is a job, and Duran thought he was bored. Night patrol means walking around the castle, mainly near the student dormitory, to ensure the safety of the dormitory.

Duran held a lantern and patrolled in the quiet corridor. Suddenly, he heard a sound behind him. He turned around but couldn't see anyone, but Duran still found the other party, because the person who made the sound was not a person, but a big gray mouse.

It was Ron's pet mouse, Scabbers, scurrying around the corner. It was very uneasy because Sirius had escaped from prison. It changed its hiding place almost every night. It was indeed very cunning.

Leaving the castle, I went to patrol outside the castle and met Hagrid, who was also patrolling. He was mainly responsible for the area around the castle and the outer area of ​​the Forbidden Forest.

"I haven't had time to congratulate you yet. Congratulations on your promotion to professor."

Hagrid was still a little shy: "The day after tomorrow is my first class. I'm a little worried about whether I can do well." "I don't know if I can be a good professor."

"It's okay. Magical creatures are your specialty." Duran remembered the book that Hagrid asked the students to buy that would bite people.

"That's true. By the way, how is Norbeta?" Hagrid missed the dragon he hatched.

"She's very good. There's always more lamb to eat every day. The menu also includes pork, beef, deer, and horses of various flavors."

"Sheep are very good. Dragons like to eat lamb. Of course, there are a few dragons who like to eat fish, such as tree wasps. They will fish at sea." "In ancient times, it is said that wizards would tame tree wasps to hunt whales." Hagrid was obviously still obsessed with dragons: "Do you have time? I have something good to show you."

Of course I have time.

Hagrid wanted to introduce the Hippogriff to Duran: "You are a unique Muggle who likes magical creatures. You know, sometimes I feel that you are a smaller version of me because we have the same hobbies."

"Thank you for your compliment." Hagrid is not a bad person, just a little reckless.

After arriving at Hagrid's hut, Hagrid solemnly introduced the heroic magical beast to Duran: "My friend, the blood of the brave griffin and the BMW, the protagonist of the class the day after tomorrow - the Hippogriff."

"Yes, I think the children will like it, although it is a little fierce."

"Fierce? No, the Hippogriff is a very friendly animal, as long as you respect it enough." Hagrid defended it, and Duran's words were more serious than directly attacking Hagrid himself: "Although it has a sharp beak and claws, it is still a very friendly and gentle creature. It will become a loyal friend of the students."

But Duran knew that Hagrid would mess it up, because not all little wizards know what respect is. But who made Hagrid like ferocious beasts? He hoped that his students would like it too.

If it were Duran, he would definitely choose a harmless animal like a unicorn, because the animal world also values ​​appearance. If it were a panda, the success rate would be even higher. As an endangered species, pandas are deeply loved by people all over the world, while some more precious animals are ignored because they are not good-looking. Pandas have even become the spokesperson for the World Wildlife Fund and are the representatives of precious animals in the world, because pandas are cute, and cuteness represents influence and justice.

Obviously, the appearance of the hippogriff is not cute, so it is not just enough.
