Chapter 740 Improvement Class

( ) Just like the opposite of the atmosphere during the opening ceremony, the weather on the second morning of Hogwarts was particularly good. The sky was clear and the clouds were clear. The weather was clear and slightly cool, which made people very comfortable.

After enjoying breakfast, the wizards in the dining hall were still sitting in their seats in order to wait for their dean to come down from the staff table, but surprisingly, almost no one was discussing what happened last night at this time - at least. No one does that in a public place like this.

Today, the deans of the four colleges still have to collect applications for advanced classes from students in sixth grade and above, and provide them with guidance services.

For wizards of Allen's grade, it is more complicated than in previous years. The sixth grade is the sixth year that young wizards and witches receive magical education at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Sixth graders are usually between sixteen and seventeen years old, although some are older because they have had to repeat a grade.

Sixth grade is the first year of classes. If the Ls test score of a certain course meets the minimum requirements of the teacher teaching the course at that time, the student can continue to take the course of this course. If the scores do not meet the requirements, they cannot directly participate in the .. courses and can only continue to study ..Ls courses until they pass the exam.

If a student is qualified to take a certain course but feels that he does not need to obtain a certificate for this course, he can also choose not to continue taking this course because the content taught by the teacher in the course is very difficult. , there will be more homework after class.

Hermione, who had finished breakfast next to Allen at the Ravenclaw table, sighed at the advanced class schedule. Allen was a little confused about this, and then Luna's eyes widened in horror: "Hermione , you want to sign up for twelve courses again?!"

"There are many people in the training class who plan to do this! Not only those wizards who have obtained twelve excellent exams have filled in all the courses, but those wizards who have achieved good grades have also enrolled in all the courses they can apply for. I plan to sign up for your class, which is thirteen! I know I don’t have time to do this, but I don’t know how to choose!” Hermione lay on the long table and plucked the hair on her head, thinking about the choice. course, "I didn't know that so many people could really apply for time transfer... that necklace? I don't want to use it anymore! I was born in 1979, so I'm almost one year older than you. After adding the third grade, I was a whole Been using it all semester..."

Allen couldn't resist. He held down Hermione's shoulders from behind to prevent her from scratching her scalp. "Hermione, calm down. I don't plan to sign up for any advanced courses this semester. Even if Instead of taking advanced classes, you can take exams in all subjects in seventh grade. With our level, we no longer need to waste time on these courses and completing homework. The Ministry of Magic's management of the Time Turner is different from before, except for silence. No one can apply to use it except people who can continue research, so you have to make those training class members calm down!"

Hermione was forced to nod her head in approval at first, and then reluctantly thought of a reason, "But Alan, you can teach in school if you don't take any course, but if I don't take any course, I will also give you the Ls exam certificate." I got them all, so I can’t continue to study any Ls courses... Then why did I come to school..."

"Uh..." Allen was at a loss for words. He had to give in and said, "You can choose three subjects that you like. In addition, remember to come to my class when it does not conflict with the advanced class. We have to complete our own class in our free time. Practice, these are the real things..."

Hermione reluctantly nodded in agreement, but this request made her stunned when she faced the class schedule again.

"Arithmetic, divination, spells, potions." Luna's voice floated over.

"What?!" Hermione raised her head in confusion.

"The three subjects that came to your mind just now." Luna tilted her head and stared with protruding eyes, "It's like tossing a coin when choosing one from the other. You don't have to look at it, your brain can give you the answer when you throw it out. ”

"Stop looking into my head!" Hermione waved the hand holding the pen angrily.

"In addition, the time Alan spent after entering the Veil last semester, theoretically the age gap between him and you should be smaller." Luna did not respond to Hermione's protest at all, and went back to her own business. He counted on his fingers and said, "So, I am more than two years younger than you."

Not knowing how to respond to the shameless Rowena Ravenclaw, Allen was silent for a while and then changed the subject. He directly said to Miss Know-It-All who was still stunned and didn't know how to respond: "By the way Hermione , when recruiting training class members this year, some restrictions can be relaxed, and wizards who are willing to enter and want to improve themselves can be admitted. Of course, those who want to join our internal elite team will be more strictly checked and the assessment will be strengthened. "

Judging from the results in the past few years, the wizards who joined the training class are much better than the wizards who did not join the training class. This is just because the original selection conditions were relatively harsh and the number of Hufflepuff students who could join the training class was very large. few. Alan had just remembered through Luna that he had been favored by Helga, so he decided that he could no longer be as arrogant as before in these matters.

Historically, many young wizards did not like being assigned to Hufflepuff in the selection of houses. Although they had produced a Cedric Diggory before, this was not enough to change the wizards or many wizards in the other three houses. Or there is some invisible discrimination, many people and even some professors will have no reason to think that the little badgers of Hufflepuff are not very smart - of course, each house will be labeled among the other three houses. respective labels.

"Great, the training class is on the right track, so I can help more... Oops! Professor McGonagall is down, I have to go back to the Gryffindor table first!" Hermione heard the movement behind her and turned her head Noticing that Professor McGonagall was already standing in the front row of the Gryffindor table, she quickly stood up, picked up her books and the advanced class curriculum in both hands, and trotted back to her The long table of the college to which it belongs.

Sitting back at the Gryffindor table, Hermione realized that she didn't have to be in such a hurry just now, because Professor Minerva McGonagall was looking at the Gryffindor students' applications one by one and checking their scores. After watching anxiously for a while, Professor McGonagall gradually came closer.

At this time, Professor McGonagall was looking down at Neville's class schedule, and Neville's round face was full of anxiety.

McGonagall adjusted her glasses on the bridge of her nose and stared at Neville through the square lenses: "Mr. Longbottom, your Herbology score is O (excellent), very good, I want Sprout The professor will certainly be happy to see you back. Defense Against the Dark Arts is also a sufficient qualification. The problem is that Transfiguration is only an A (pass). I'm sorry, Longbottom, but I can't let you into my advanced class."

Neville lowered his head and said nothing.

"Why do you have to choose the Transfiguration class? I don't think you are very interested in the Transfiguration class." Professor McGonagall's probing eyes made Neville lower his head. "And I suggest that if you really want to take it, Mr. Alan Harris's ancient magic class, then please use the knowledge you learn in that class with caution. If an accident occurs while using these spells, it is not a minor accident like the ones you usually have. ”

"My grandma wants me to learn transfiguration." Neville muttered, feeling very sad. He didn't want to disappoint his grandma who raised him at all. "But it was my own idea to go to the ancient magic class. I hope I can change." It’s more useful.”

"Oh, is that what Augusta means?" Professor McGonagall did not try to say anything more about Neville's plan to take the ancient magic class. She took another look at Neville's transcript, "I saw your Your grades in Charms are pretty good, E (Exceeds Expectations) - why don’t you apply for the advanced class in Charms?”

"My grandma thinks taking Charms class is just to save trouble," Neville muttered.

"Take Charms," ​​said Professor McGonagall, tapping a blank course schedule with the tip of her wand, and then handed Neville the filled course schedule filled with the classes he would take this semester. "I'm going to give Augusta wrote a letter to remind her that she should not try to prevent her grandson from making further progress just because she failed the Charms class.Ls exam. Your grandma should be proud of you instead of always thinking that you should be better. .”

Neville's round face turned crimson, and he carefully raised his head to observe his dean, blinking in confusion - Professor McGonagall had never praised him before.

"Longbottom, I heard about what happened when you faced Umbridge. You are a Gryffindor." Professor McGonagall, who had already begun to look at the next application form, noticed Neville's gaze and explained, But then she frowned and glanced at the little wizard sitting next to Neville. Finally, she sighed and shook her head: "Mr. Flagg Brown, you only filled in Herbalism and History of Magic... Well, both of these subjects have met the requirements, but I suggest that you can still continue to study Muggle studies. This is an easy subject for half-blood and Muggle-born wizards to obtain certificates. .Ls, please don’t give up. If you want to start your career in the wizarding world after graduation, having another certificate will be very helpful to you.”

After hearing Professor McGonagall's words, Flagg clenched his fists secretly, and finally nodded helplessly - in fact, he had been a little angry and deliberately did not want to choose this subject - compared with others, Flagg The talent in magic can only be said to be not a squib, but whether it is magic spells or potions classes that only occasionally require the use of a wand to complete key steps, it is not too easy for Flagg. Such classes Even though he worked very hard to ensure that he would not have any problems with the content of the written examination, he could not reach enough standards in actual practice to qualify for the advanced class.

Flagg put away the new curriculum that included Muggle Studies, and McGonagall began to quickly check Ron's curriculum.

Professor McGonagall pursed her lips seriously and shook her head. The reason for shaking her head was not the same as when she faced Flegg, but she thought that even if Ron worked harder, he would pass the .Ls courses he passed. If it turned out to be beyond expectations, then she would be able to make better arrangements in the selection of advanced classes - but as she expected, Ron Weasley did not choose to attend Alan Harris's class.

Then, McGonagall's eyes glanced at Ron and Harry, who had begun to play around under her nose while she was applying for Ron's application, thinking that they would not be discovered. "Potter." Professor McGonagall improved a lot. His own volume, "It seems that you will make yourself very comfortable this semester and forget about the twenty points deducted by Professor Snape yesterday because you didn't change clothes? I haven't seen any college that has just finished the semester." So many points were deducted from the beginning..."

"Professor, I have chosen as many advanced courses as possible that do not conflict with each other." Knowing that he had been caught, Harry suppressed his anger towards Snape and quickly held the application form in front of him and shook it. Akira tried to change Mag's attention.

After taking a quick glance at it, Professor McGonagall felt quite regretful. Last year, she suggested that Harry take Ellen's ancient magic class because of the pressure brought by Dumbledore's temporary departure and Umbridge. This was obviously not the same as Dumbledore's. Lido's wishes were not met, and now Harry actually did it - but McGonagall, who couldn't say much, had to focus on Harry's other choices. Finally, she stretched out her finger and tapped Harry's improvement class. Application form: "I thought you might consider taking Potions class. Don't tell me you don't want to be an Auror anymore?"

Harry felt a little aggrieved, and he quickly defended himself: "Of course I want to be an Auror. Professor, you see, I tried my best to choose the courses recommended by the Auror office, such as spells, herbs, transfiguration, and even my... I have chosen Defense Against the Dark Arts taught by Professor Nepp...but my Ls score in Potions must reach O before I can go to the Advanced Potions class, Professor..."

"This was indeed the case when Snape taught Potions, but Professor Slughorn is willing to accept students with 'good' Ls scores into the advanced class. Are you willing to continue studying Potions?"

"Great, of course I am willing." Harry nodded quickly and said worriedly, "But I didn't buy the textbooks and materials for the Potions class during the summer vacation..."

"You can use the owl to mail them. In addition, before the package is delivered, I believe Professor Slughorn will be very happy to provide you with these help..." Professor McGonagall said, "Very well, Potter, this is yours." Class Schedule."

"Miss Granger! I thought I was going to persuade the others in your training class to let you give up applying for twelve advanced classes at once..." Professor McGonagall, who picked up Hermione's application form, looked surprised at this time. , "I even noticed that you only signed up for three courses, and my Transfiguration was not even included..."

"Teach me..." Hermione was a little speechless for a moment. UU Readingｗｗ.uukanshu.net She had just ignored the fact that she had not filled in the dean's course. She was a little annoyed. If she had noticed it earlier, she would have added more transfiguration spells. Already...

"Don't worry, Granger. Since you can transform into a magical Animagus, I don't think anyone will let you fail if you take the seventh-grade exam directly... I'm just a little regretful that you can't be in my class." See you again." Professor McGonagall looked quite regretful, and then looked at Hermione's application form. McGonagall knew that her level of strength was no longer willing to waste extra time on improving her classes. Grant The headmistress of Findor seemed hesitant for a moment, and then tentatively asked Hermione in a less stern tone that was rarely seen in normal times, "By the way...Miss Granger, what's next?" This is not an order from the dean, but just my personal request... Under the current situation, if Mr. Alan Harris and Albus can temporarily put aside their respective ideas and ease their relationship, and jointly fight against the mysterious Death Eaters, That would be a great thing for the entire wizarding world. I hope you can persuade Mr. Alan Harris in private, and I will try my best to persuade Albus..."

"professor."

"What?"

"No sir, it's Professor Harris."
