Chapter 043: Changes in the Third Grade

On Monday of the following week, Catherine finally began her third-grade class.

Since there were three classes in divination, Muggle studies, and arithmetic at nine o'clock, it meant that she had to repeat it at least three times today, but with Draco and Hermione, she had figured out how to avoid getting dizzy.

But when she went to the North Tower for her first divination class, Catherine really regretted choosing it.

Trelawney's confused, startled remarks, and the warm, greasy scent of the classroom were more sleepy than Professor Binns's, and the red-haired girl had to cast a series of spells on herself, such as the Confusion Charm, the Soundproofing Charm, and the Fresh Air Charm, to prevent herself from falling asleep on the spot.

After the divination class, followed by the history of demons class, Catherine glanced at Professor Binns, who had always only studied rigidly, and unusually simply added the label of self-study to the names of the two classes, and Draco followed suit, since only the two of them had the same course in Slytherin.

Monday afternoon was a lesson on protecting magical creatures with Gryffindor, but Hagrid seemed to have lost all confidence and changed the lesson to raising Flober caterpillars.

As a slightly cleanliness girl, Catherine was adamant about shoving lettuce into their slippery throats, and she would rather Hagrid turn the lesson back to a super dangerous level, at least that way she would be able to lift her spirits, otherwise she would have continued to be bored like this, and she would rather not attend any Monday class than waste her time like this.

After dinner, Catherine went to learn how to make a wolf poison potion, but I have to say that this is indeed a super difficult potion, even if Snape personally taught it, the red-haired girl also mastered all the details with her excellent memory, but when she did it herself, she still couldn't succeed. This made her feel extremely bad.

"Wolf poison potions, even if they are highly skilled potions masters, may not be able to complete them smoothly, it involves too many principles and knowledge, you have only studied potions for two years, and you have not yet formed your own refining habits, so it is natural that there will be a mistake in following my technique." Snape was comforted, though his tone remained cold.

"I understand, it's just a little unaccustomed." Catherine rubbed her temples in annoyance, "It's the first time I've encountered something so difficult to grasp. ”

Snape opened his mouth to say something, but Douglas suddenly slapped him on the back of his hand with his tail. He couldn't help but shut his mouth, and hesitated for a while before speaking again: "Don't worry! Take it easy! ”

Catherine looked at Snape in disbelief, but he had already turned to collect his things on the stage, and she opened her mouth to ask, but she didn't.

Douglas, who had been secretly paying attention to the red-haired girl, directly transmitted the scene he saw to his master's mind, seeing Catherine's reaction, Snape couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but he also knew that some things could not be done overnight. I had to put down my unhappy mood and regain my calm appearance.

"It's almost nine o'clock, and it's time for you to go back to Muggle research." Snape took the time-turner out of his pocket and walked over to Catherine.

"I've had three super boring classes today, and hopefully the next classes won't make me doze off again." Catherine watched as Snape wrapped the gold chain around their necks. After turning the timer for twelve weeks, the surrounding qiē began to recede rapidly, and the sun's rays became brighter and brighter until it was back before nine o'clock in the morning.

"How am I going to find you this time?" Catherine removed the chain and handed it to Snape.

"I'll be waiting for you at Salazar." Snape put away the time turner and walked away. Avoid colliding with your past self.

Catherine looked at his back and sighed silently, opening the map to find the location of the others. After making sure that it would not arouse suspicion, he hurried to a Muggle studies class.

Unfortunately, this course still disappointed Catherine very much, because of the Muggle Studies class of Caredy. The Muggle world that Professor Bubbaji is talking about is at least a hundred years ago, the Victorian period in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

It was the pinnacle of the British Industrial Revolution and the British Empire, but the inhumane social structure, degenerate social morality, the prevalence of money worship, and widespread poverty and injustice were the most criticized by later generations. It was a time when they were glamorous on the outside, but rancid on the inside, and Bubaji magnified them infinitely to show the superiority of the wizard.

It has to be said that the Victorian period had a huge impact on Britain, even if the outbreak of the First World War ended its domination in the Muggle world, but in the wizarding world, it still radiated a huge influence.

It can be said that the reason why the current British wizarding world still maintains a conservative and self-contained posture is largely due to the fact that the older generation who grew up in the Victorian period are unwilling to give up the posture of "the sun never sets on the empire", let alone accept the ever-changing new world.

In a certain way, Tom. The reason why Riddle was able to rise to power quickly and get a lot of support was precisely because he catered to the views of this part of the people, who hoped that someone could come forward to resist Dumbledore and curb the pace of reform.

Now that Catherine had decided to change the status quo in the British wizarding world, she could not accept Bubbaghy's teachings, so she immediately assigned a challenge in her address book - how to get the content of modern Muggle history in a Muggle studies class.

The members of the SG team who chose this course immediately complained, but Hermione, who grew up in the Muggle world, strongly agreed, and even listed a large number of opinions to prove Bubbaji wrong, which was definitely an incredible move for the brunette girl who had always believed that "the teacher is always right", which showed how deep her resentment was towards Bubbaghy.

This couldn't help but arouse the interest of others, especially after Harry testified to Hermione that she was telling the truth, and the students who grew up in the wizarding world sought out information about the modern history of the Muggle world.

And when Brace was so fascinated by it that he openly showed up in the Slytherin common room with a copy of Modern British History, the other Slytherin students were stunned, and they couldn't help but quietly find similar books, and then they all found that the Muggle world today was not at all what the adults said, and Slytherin's contemptuous gaze for Muggles began to change somewhat.

It's just that Catherine, as the initiator, didn't think of it at all, so after she finished assigning the content of the task, she directly added a confusion charm to herself, publicly skipped the Muggle studies class, and went back to the dormitory to sleep.

When she had slept enough and had eaten, Catherine went to Snape to go back to nine o'clock in the morning for an arithmetic and divination class, and this time she was finally no longer bored and began to listen carefully to Setima. What Professor Victor said.

And Tuesday's magic class, because of the Egyptian hieroglyphs she saw during the summer vacation, Catherine had already prepared for the content of the course. Professor Ba Buling explained, and he was clear again, and his interest was naturally stronger.

Therefore, after discussing with Snape on Tuesday night, Catherine changed the class schedule to directly cross out the Muggle Studies class, and the protection of magical creatures class also decided not to take it for the time being, until the SG team finally succeeded in convincing Hagrid to make the course content normal before returning to the timetable.

Only the divination class, knowing that it would not be rewarding, but afraid that Trelawney would not know when to come back with a real prophecy, and had to continue to attend the class on time, fortunately it also gave Catherine an excuse to use a time turner, so that it did not become a shame to abandon the chicken ribs.

After this adjustment, Catherine's schedule has become a little looser, and she no longer has to repeat it five or six times a day, just to ensure a normal schedule, she still has to repeat it three times to ensure that she has enough sleep, and the extra time is just right to solve the unfinished business of the summer vacation.

The only trouble is that the chance of colliding with one's past self is not much less likely to occur, and the method within Slytherin is to use the Transfiguration Charm constantly, and use the Tracking Charm to show one's location on the map, thus avoiding the past and the future from meeting.

Catherine could have omitted the latter step, but because there were too many targets on the map, it was difficult to find her location every time, so she had to put the study of the map on the agenda in order to add a search function as soon as possible.

As for the difficulty of the wolf poison potion was too great, Snape was afraid that she would be too distracted by it, so he limited Catherine's research time, and the red-haired girl was not dissatisfied with this, after all, she didn't want to spend too much time with the Potions professor for the time being, and even the "Patronus" didn't care about researching.

Snape knew this, too, so he stayed in the Chamber of Secrets for advice on the first repetition of the day, and left Hogwarts for the second repetition to go shopping, or went back to 17 Spidertail Alley to complete the underground labyrinth.

As for the others, the SG team was distracted by Catherine's two new unexpected missions, and almost didn't even care about their normal lives, let alone remembered Siris hiding in that dark place. Black.

The rest of the students were also a little absent-minded by them, with the exception of the fifth and seventh graders, who had a heavy exam this year, and every professor was asking them to hurry up and revise for it.

For this reason, Dumbledore specially convened a meeting of the teachers, and then arranged special review classes every evening and Saturday and Sunday. (To be continued......)
