Chapter 740: Raising the Class

Just like the opposite of the atmosphere at the opening ceremony, the second morning at Hogwarts was exceptionally good, with high clouds and clear and slightly cool weather.

The wizards in the cafeteria were still seated after breakfast as they waited for their dean to come down from the faculty table, but surprisingly, there was almost no discussion of last night's events at this point—at least no one in such a public place.

Today, the deans of the four faculties have to collect applications from students from the sixth grade and onwards to improve their classes, and they do not provide guidance services to them.

For wizards of Ellen's age, it was even more complicated than in previous years, and sixth year was the sixth year of magical education for young wizards and wizards at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Sixth graders are usually between the ages of sixteen and seventeen, although some are a little older because they have to repeat a grade.

Sixth grade is the first year of the program. If the results of a particular .LS exam meet the minimum requirements of the teacher at the time, the student may continue to take the course. Course. If the score does not meet the requirements, they cannot participate directly.. courses that can only be continued. LS courses until passing the exam.

If a student is eligible to take a course but does not think he needs to obtain a certificate for that course, he may also choose not to continue with the course, because the content taught by the teacher is very difficult and there will be more homework in the course.

At the Ravenclaw long table, Hermione, who was eating breakfast next to Alan, sighed at the class schedule, Alan was a little puzzled by this, and then Luna's eyes widened in horror: "Hermione, you want to fill twelve courses again?!"

"There are a lot of people in the camp who are going to do this! Not only are the wizards who have received twelve excellent courses and have filled in all the courses, but the wizards who have achieved good grades have also enrolled in all the courses they can fill in, and they are also planning to apply for your classes, which is thirteen! I know I don't have time to do this, but I don't know how to choose!" Hermione leaned on the long table and ruffled the hair on her head, thinking about the courses to be trade-off, "I didn't know that so many people could really apply for the time transfer...... I didn't want to use it! I was born in '79, I was almost a year older than you, and I used it all semester in my third year......"

Alan was a little overwhelmed, and he pressed Hermione's shoulder from behind to keep her from picking at her scalp," Hermione, calm down, I don't plan to apply for an improvement class course this semester, even if you don't participate in the improvement class, you can take all the exams in the seventh grade, with our level, we don't have to waste time on these courses and completing assignments, the Ministry of Magic's management of the time turner is different from before, no one can apply for it except for the Silent Man who can continue to study, you have to let those training class members calm down!"

Hermione was first semi-forced to nod in approval, and then reluctantly thought of a reason, "But Alan, you can teach at school if you don't report anything, but if I don't report anything, . . . I've also got all the LS exam certificates, so I can't continue to study any .LS courses...... So what am I coming to school for......

"Uh......" Alan was speechless for a moment, he had to give in and said, "You can choose three of your favorites, and remember to come to my class when it doesn't conflict with the advanced class, we have to complete our own studies in our free time, these are the main things..."

Hermione nodded reluctantly, but the request made her stunned once again in the face of the schedule.

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

"What?!" Hermione looked up confused.

"The three subjects that came to your mind just now. Luna tilted her head and stared at her bulging eyes, "It's like flipping a coin when you choose one of the two, you don't have to look at it, your brain can give you the answer when you cast it." ”

"Stop looking at my head!" Hermione waved her hand holding the pen in annoyance.

"In addition, the amount of time Alan spent in the curtain last semester should theoretically be a little smaller than the age gap between him and you. Luna didn't respond at all to Hermione's protests, and counted on her fingers, "So, I'm more than two years younger than you. ”

didn't know how to respond to the shameless Rowena Ravenclaw, Alan was silent for a while and then directly diverted the topic, and he directly said to Miss Know-It-all, who was stunned and didn't know how to respond: "By the way, Hermione, when recruiting training class members this year, you can relax some restrictions, as long as you are willing to enter and want to improve yourself, wizards can be accepted." Of course, if you want to join our internal elite team, you have to be more strict and strengthen the assessment. ”

Judging from the results of the past few years, the wizards who joined the training class were much better than the wizards who did not join the training class, but because the selection conditions were relatively harsh at the beginning, the number of Hufflepuff students who could join the training class was very small. Alan had just remembered through Luna that he had been favored by Helgar in the first place, and decided that he could no longer be as arrogant as he used to be in these matters.

Historically, in the selection of houses, many young wizards do not like to be sorted into Hufflepuffs, although they have produced a Cedric Diggory before, but this is not enough to change the wizards of the other three houses more or less with some invisible discrimination, many people and even some professors will have no reason to think that the Hufflepuff badgers are not very smart - of course, each house will be labeled separately in the other three houses.

"Great, the camp is on track, so it can help even more...... Oops! Professor McGonagall is down, I need to go back to the Gryffindor table first!" Hermione heard the movement behind her, turned her head and noticed that Professor McGonagall was already standing in the front row of the Gryffindor table, so she quickly stood up, grabbed her books and the advanced class schedule in both hands, and trotted back to the long table in her house.

Hermione, who sat back at the Gryffindor long table, 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, checking their grades, and she watched anxiously for a while before Professor McGonagall gradually approached.

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

McGonagall helped her glasses on the bridge of her nose and glared at Neville through the square lenses, "Mr. Longbottom, your grades in herbalism are O's (excellent), which is good, and I think Professor Sprout must be glad to see you back." Defence Against the Dark Arts is also qualifying. The problem is that the Transfiguration class is only an A (pass), and I'm sorry Longbottom, I can't get you into my improvement class. ”

Neville hung his head and didn't speak.

"Why did you have to choose the Transfiguration class? I don't think you're interested in the Transfiguration class. Professor McGonagall's inquiring eyes lowered Neville's head, "And I suggest that if you really want to take Mr. Alan Harris's Ancient Magic class, then be careful with what you've learned in that class, and if the spells are used in an accident, it's not as trivial as the accidents that happen to you." ”

"My grandmother wanted me to learn Transfiguration. Neville grunted, very sad, he didn't want his grandmother to be disappointed, "But it was my own idea to go to the ancient magic class, and I wish I could be more useful." ”

"Oh, is that what Augusta meant?" Professor McGonagall didn't try to say anything more about Neville's plans to take the Ancient Magic class, she glanced at Neville's transcript again, "I see your Charms class is doing well, it's E (exceeding expectations) - why don't you apply for the Charms class?"

"My grandmother thought it would be easier to take a Charms class. Neville muttered.

"Take a Charms class," Professor McGonagall said, tapping the tip of her wand on a blank class schedule before handing Neville the timetable that had already filled up his classes this semester, "I'm going to write a letter to Augusta to remind her that she can't be taught because of her Charms. If you fail the LS exam and try not to make your grandson better, your grandma should be proud of you, not always think that you should be better. ”

Neville's round face turned crimson, and he cautiously looked up at his dean, his eyes blinking in confusion - Professor McGonagall had never praised him before.

"Longbottom, I've heard about your confrontation with Umbridge, you're a Gryffindor. Professor McGonagall, who had already begun to read the next application form, noticed Neville's gaze and explained, but then she frowned, glanced at the little wizard sitting next to Neville, and finally she sighed and shook her head lightly, "Mr. Fleger Brown, you only filled in Herbology and History of Magic...... Well, both of these subjects are up to the mark, but I recommend that you continue your studies in Muggle Studies, which is an easy way for half-blood and Muggle-born wizards to get a certificate. LS don't give up, if you want to put your career in the wizarding world after graduation, an extra certificate will be very helpful to you. ”

Hearing Professor McGonagall's words, Flegg clenched his fists secretly, and he finally nodded helplessly—in fact, he had deliberately not wanted to choose this subject in a bit of anger before— Compared to the others, Fleg's talent in magic can only be said to be a squib, but whether it is a spell or only occasionally requires a wand to complete the key steps, Potions class is not too easy for Fleg, even if he works hard to keep himself from having problems in the written test, but he can't actually meet the standard enough to qualify for the advanced class.

Flegg put away the new timetable with Muggle Studies, and McGonagall began to quickly check Ron's timetable.

Professor McGonagall pursed her lips and shook her head in seriousness, not for the same reason as she did with Flleg, but because she thought that Ron had tried a little harder, and he had passed. LS was able to go from passing to exceeding expectations, so there would be a better combination of higher class options - but as she expected, Ron Weasley didn't choose to take Alan Harris's class.

Then, McGonagall's gaze swept over Ron and Harry, who had begun giggling under her nose while she was reading Ron's application, thinking they wouldn't be discovered, "Potter. Professor McGonagall raised her voice, "Looks like you're going to make yourself comfortable this semester and forget about the twenty points you were deducted by Professor Snape yesterday because you didn't change your clothes?

"Professor, I have chosen as many courses as possible for the improvement class that does not conflict with each other. Knowing that he had been caught, Harry suppressed his anger at Snape and quickly shook the application form in front of him in front of him in an attempt to change McGonagall's attention.

Professor McGonagall glanced at it and felt a little regretful that she had suggested that Harry take Alan's ancient magic class last year because of Dumbledore's temporary departure and the pressure from Umbridge, which was obviously not in line with Dumbledore's wishes, and now Harry did just do so - but McGonagall, who couldn't say more, had to focus on Harry's other options, and finally she stuck out her finger and tapped at Harry's Enhancement Class application form, "I think you'd probably consider taking Potions class, don't tell me you don't want to be an Auror anymore?"

Harry was a little aggrieved, and he hurriedly defended himself: "Of course I want to be an Auror, Professor, you see, I tried to choose the one recommended by the Auror Office. Classes, Charms, Herbs, Transfiguration, and even the Defence Against the Dark Arts taught by Professor Snape...... But my Potions lesson. LS must have an O grade to go to the Potions class, Professor ......"

"That's true when Snape taught Potions, but Professor Slughorn was willing to take it. Students with 'good' LS grades enter the Enhancement class. Would you like to continue your Potions lesson?"

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

"You can use the owl to order them by mail, and I'm sure Professor Slughorn will be more than happy to help you with that before the package arrives...... "Very well, Potter, here's your class schedule." ”

"Miss Granger, I thought I was going to try to persuade the rest of your camp to do the same to make 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 classes, and you didn't even have my Transfiguration ......"

"Teach me ......" Hermione was a little speechless for a moment, she could ignore the fact that she hadn't filled out her dean's course, she was a little annoyed, if only she had noticed it and added more Transfiguration......

"Don't worry, Granger, since you've been able to transform into a magical Animagus, I don't think anyone will let you fail the seventh grade exam...... I just have some regrets that I can't see you again in my class. Professor McGonagall looked rather regretful, and then looked at Hermione's application form, McGonagall knew that her strength level was no longer willing to waste extra time on improving the class, the female dean of Gryffindor hesitated for a moment, and then asked Hermione tentatively in a less stern tone that is rarely seen, "By the way...... Miss Granger, what follows is not an order from the Dean, but only a request from me...... In the current situation, if Mr. Alan Harris and Albus can temporarily put aside their respective ideas and ease their relationship and fight together against the mysterious Death Eaters, it will be a great thing for the entire wizarding world, and I hope that you can persuade Mr. Alan Harris in private, and I will try my best to convince Albus ......"

"Professor. ”

"What?"

"Not sir, it's Professor Harris. ”
