After finishing the work of dealing with the diary, Link was completely relaxed.

This also made his next summer life go by extremely quickly, and it was almost the day of school that was about to start in the blink of an eye.

The night before school started, Mrs. Foley also prepared a sumptuous feast for Little Button. The next day, Mrs. Foley drove Link to the nine-and-three-quarters station in her burgundy roadster.

It's an old tradition in the Foley family, and no matter how busy they are, Mrs. Foley will make time on this day to take Link to school.

Sadly, Mrs. Foley doesn't escort Link all the way to the Hogwarts Express like the other parents do, but instead drops Link off at the station gate.

Link also had an opinion on this, and walked directly through the magical wall and entered the platform alone.

There were more people on the platform than when Link had come before.

There were parents and children all over the place, mixed with the screams of owls and the cries of children, which made the whole platform very noisy.

Link wasn't interested in watching the excitement here, so he went straight into the train.

However, as soon as he arrived in the Hufflepuff carriage and sat down, a hand slapped him on the shoulder.

"Link, how was the holiday?"

When Link heard the reputation, he saw that Cedric, who had not been masked for a long time, was looking at him with a smile in his eyes, and the smile was still so sunny and upright.

This made Link feel very good, and said with a smile:

"It's natural. ”

Hearing this, Cedric sat down opposite Link on his own, and said with a slightly stiff face:

"We have a new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor this year, you know that, right?"

"Gilderoy Lockhart, right?" Link said, rolling his eyes, "He's such a high-profile person, and I guess most of Hogwarts already knows about it." ”

"Do you know what kind of person he is?"

Cedric's words surprised Link a little, because Cedric's expression at the moment was not the kind of curious new professor, but a sense of meaning.

In addition, as Cedric, he should also know a little about what Lockhart is doing behind his back.

So Link figured out what the other party meant after thinking for a while.

Link smiled, gave Cedric the same look, and said:

"Ah, of course I do. I know what he's doing on the surface or behind his back. ”

"Really? Then I'm relieved. ”

Cedric was visibly relieved, and then he took out a slightly old book from his luggage and pushed it in front of Link and said:

"Now that you know what kind of person Lockhart is, you should know that he can't teach us anything. Take this, it's a little less efficient to learn on your own, but it's better than nothing. ”

Listening to Cedric's words, Link looked down at the book on the table, and saw that it clearly read "Intermediate Dark Arts Defense Guide".

Not only that, but after Link opened the book and looked it up, he found that it was densely packed with neat notes.

This discovery came as a surprise to Link.

Because this kind of old book is in a sense more precious than the new book, Cedric must have put a lot of thought into getting it.

Thinking like this, Link also had some feelings in his heart, and said to Cedric with a smile:

"Thank you very much, Cedric. ”

"Don't say thank you between us, that's what I'm supposed to do. ”

Cedric's smile widened, but soon he sat up a little more upright, and said to Link:

"You're going to pick your classes this year, right? Which ones are you going to take?"

"The magical creature protection class also has a divination class, these two are the most labor-saving. ”

That's true. ”

Cedric had a look on his face when he heard this.

He knew very well that Link wasn't the kind of monster who was desperately chasing for excellence in all twelve subjects, so it was normal for him to choose this way.

"Have you bought your textbooks?" Cedric added, "check it out, don't run out of it then." ”

As soon as these words came out, the expression on Link's face suddenly became speechless.

He felt that Cedric was really like an old mother now.

However, Link also knows that Cedric himself is such a person, which is also a manifestation of Cedric's care for Link.

So Link didn't continue to argue with Cedric, and directly opened the Traceless Stretching Charm pocket and checked it.

However, this inspection actually checked out that something was wrong.

In that thick stack of textbooks, Link didn't find a textbook for the divination class at all, and instead it was a "Introduction to Arithmetic Divination".

Link instantly understood what was going on.

It was specified that the small button confused the book of arithmetic divination with divination when buying a book.

"Write a letter. Cedric nodded and said, "Fortunately, I found it early, so I asked my family to buy you another copy and send it to you before the class officially started." ”

Cedric is talking about the best solution at the moment.

But when he heard this, Link shook his head and said:

"Forget it. The person who helped me buy the book was my house-elf. ”

As soon as Link said this, Cedric immediately understood.

Everyone knows what a house-elf is.

If he really wanted to let the other party know that he had made a mistake, even if the Link family didn't pursue it, he would probably kill himself on the spot.

"That's bad enough. Cedric muttered, "And what are you going to do now?"

"What can I do? What else can I do? Change to arithmetic divination. ”

Link spread his hands and said helplessly.

It's bad enough.

It is important to know that arithmetic divination is actually a kind of use of large amounts of data to predict something in the future, which is similar to the big data commonly used in later generations, and the most common application scenario is combined with astrology to predict the weather.

Therefore, although it is also called divination, it has nothing to do with that kind of metaphysical divination, but is a very 'scientific' knowledge.

However, because of its science, it is necessary for the learner to have a high degree of mathematical talent and a lot of energy to learn this course well.

This means that Link's fishing plan for the coming year has come to naught.

As soon as he thought of this, Link sighed deeply and complained:

"Sure enough, to be a good person is to suffer!"

Cedric on the side chuckled when he heard this, patted Link on the shoulder and said:

"It's okay, I've also taken arithmetic divination, so ask me if there's anything you can't do. ”

"That's all there is to it now. ”
