Volume 2 The Basilisk is the Five Scumbags Chapter 35 The Daily Life of the New Semester (Part II)
It is precisely because the O.W.Ls exams and the N.E.W.T. exams are so important that the selection of courses in the third grade is also very important as a prerequisite for it.
O.W.Ls exams are taken before the end of the fifth grade. The N.E.W.T. exam is administered before the graduation of the seventh grade. All of them can only be taken once and cannot be retaken or retaken. O.W.Ls exam is mandatory and must be taken. This is not the case with the N.E.W.T. exam, and students can choose not to take the exam as long as they have accumulated enough credits. Of course, not many people do this, after all, if you want a good job, an N.E.W.T. certificate in a relevant course is still necessary. A good job is also one of the signs of social status, and although the magician does not worry about eating and drinking, he always has to socialize. Moreover, non-living consumption is actually not a lot in the wizard world.
If you want to take the N.E.W.T. exam and get a good result, it is best to take a special improvement class in the corresponding course during your time at school. However, these advanced classes are not open to all students, and can only be attended O.W.Ls the exam scores meet the requirements of the professor.
Usually professors ask for an E (good), but there are always exceptions. In the divination class, many students felt that they could not learn anything, so there were very few students who participated, and the requirements were low, only P (poor). Potions class, on the other hand, is a must for most good jobs, and Snape is very demanding, with an O (excellent).
So for the sake of credits, O.W.Ls exams and even N.E.W.T. exam results, young students should be very careful about choosing courses. After all, although there are no restrictions on taking the O.W.Ls exam and the N.E.W.T. exam, if you take the exam without taking a class, it will be a waste of your time. After all, there are only a few who can study on their own and excel in exams like Bill and Percy - neither of them took all the courses.
Daphine had already thought about it. Divination classes may be very easy to mix in credits, just desperately orchestrate your own bad luck. But that was a waste of time for Daphany. Arithmetic divination and Muggle studies are also of little significance. Then there are only two courses to choose from: the Magical Beast Protection Course and the Ancient Runiwen Research Course. The latter, in particular, is difficult to understand, but if you want to become a powerful magician, you must master this subject. In ancient times, Runiwen, also known as the Demon Script, was a spell used to cast magic. The basic magic is not yet obvious, and if you want to master high-level magic, it is necessary to be proficient in ancient runiwen.
"Daphine, you only took two electives?" In the library, Hermione asked incredulously, "Even if there is a conflict in time, it's okay to choose three doors, right?" ”
"Only nine homework courses are needed for graduation credits." "And from a practical point of view, only the five electives are actually useful in ancient runi, and the others are basically useless unless you want to find a job specifically targeted by your major." ”
"But," Hermione argued, "isn't the divination lesson useful?" Isn't the most wonderful thing in wizards a witch who can predict the future with a crystal ball? Moreover, this, this arithmetic divination, also looks very interesting. Hermione said as she flipped through the course description.
"Divination requires a lot of talent," Daphany shrugged and said with a smile: "Such a talent is usually innate, and if you are three or four years old and have not discovered that you have a phenomenon that can predict the future, you basically do not have this talent." There are very few wizards with a talent for divination, and there are not one or two out of 10,000. How many magicians are there in the entire Commonwealth? As for arithmetic divination...... Dafanie thought about it, but decided to tell the truth: "Although it is a little more reliable than divination, but in my opinion, it is about the same level as playing tarot cards." ”
"Is that so...... Hermione looked unwilling, but she didn't doubt Daphany. After all, Daphany came from a family of magicians, and she used to seem so omniscient. But thinking about it, Hermione asked puzzledly, "However, I heard that there are many top students who have O.W.Ls exams and N.E.W.T. exam certificates for these courses." I heard Ron say that his older brother, Bill, scored 12 O's (Excellent) on the O.W.Ls exam! ”
"Just because you don't go to class doesn't mean you can't take the test!" Daphany said with a smile.
Hermione was stunned, obviously not expecting this kind of operation.
"There is a conflict in the time of schoolwork, and it is very difficult to choose to go to school all of them." "But there are some courses that you don't really need to attend, and you can pass the exam by studying on your own or even just looking at it," Defanie explains. For example, do you think your Muggle studies are worse than those wizards who have never lived with Muggles in their lives? ”
Hermione nodded thoughtfully. Daphany didn't know if she had convinced the elementary school bully. You must know that in the original plot, Hermione took all the courses except Muggle studies. You have to use a time turner to catch up on class. As for the time turner, Daphany thought it was a dangerous thing.
Daphine didn't wait for Hermione's clear results because she was going home. Although most students choose to stay in school for revision during the Easter holidays, they will be preparing for the final exams that will come soon after the holidays. But Daphany cares more about her business than her final grades. The Weasley twins are very much in agreement with her on this point.
In the three months since Christmas, the Toy Factory has risen at a rate that has captured the entire wizarding world, and it has become a giant of magical joke goods only slightly after condiments. The production capacity of a toy factory, which has the world's most efficient assembly line production, is completely unable to keep up with the speed of orders. This is still a joke because the project did not open physical stores in various places.
Daphany secretly sighed that the Weasley family was inconspicuous, but their connections were quite good. With Mr. and Mrs. Weasley not acting on their minds, the twins were able to expand their sales to the entire wizarding world, which was no ordinary awesome.
The twins and Dafanie are returning from the Easter holidays to increase their production lines and further expand their production capacity.
For nearly a month, Daphany and the twins put almost all of their energy into expanding the production line. Of course, there are some differences. All of the twins' energy is spent on the production line of joke goods. Daphany, on the other hand, is more on the Potions production line. At this moment, Daphine suddenly regretted that she had not studied potions properly. She was able to actually grasp the problem without going wrong, and the only thing she could put into the production line was two or three of the most basic potions. If you can refine the elixir and can mass-produce it......
Daphany patted her head and pushed the unrealistic fantasies out of her head. Something like a magic elixir, even if Snape wants to refine it, he probably has to grasp his scalp, right?
As for the Potions Factory, Daphne didn't hide it. But as she expected, the twins weren't interested at all. Their minds are full of jokes at this time. In fact, they did develop a couple of new gadgets, not as brilliant as fireworks and phantom balls, but they were also very creative.
The materials are well prepared and the ideas are clear. The twins doubled the production line in a month.
In the words of the twins, this time finally kept up with the speed of the order. But Daphany was noncommittal. In her previous life, Daphany was accustomed to all kinds of marketing methods. Hunger marketing should be considered one of the more basic ones. Keeping the market hungry all the time is the way to sell, and saturating the market will reduce consumers' desire to spend.
But Daphany just thought about it, and didn't mean to say it. After all, there is nothing wrong with the market of ordinary people being like this, but who knows if the market for magicians will be different. Daphany decided to let the twins test the waters. It could also be regarded as an experiment for her own potions factory in the future. As for the toy factory being the ideal of the twins, life, all, etc., Daphany said that she didn't pay attention to it at all.
A week before the start of school, Daphany wrote a letter to the Cillièques family in France.
The position of the Hilliauxes in France is equivalent to that of the Blakes or Malfoys in England. It is one of the most powerful families in all of Europe. They are the masters behind St. Mungo's Hospital, which is located all over Europe, and has a monopoly on one-third of the potions business in Europe and the entire wizarding world.
On the third day, the reply came back. The owl brought back a magic contract, a potions supply contract.
The Helyaxes family is really arrogant! Daphany looked at the contract in her hand, the corners of her mouth slightly hooked.
To say that this contract, the content of the contract itself is actually very reasonable, whether it is the price or various requirements, it is very reasonable. What reflects the arrogance of the Heliaix family is that no one was sent to interview such a contract. Even if it was a member of a peripheral family or an employee of St. Mungo's Hospital, it was an attitude.
But no! There was no one, only an owl brought the contract.
Daphne double-checked the contract and asked Jingjing to check it again, making sure that there was no hidden magic and that there was nothing wrong with the contents. Although the reputation of the Hilliax family has always been very good, they are not afraid of ten thousand, but they are afraid of what happens.
Take the contract to the study, first sign your name yourself, then take out the seal of the Lestranzi family and press it. The Magic Pact is Made! A wonderful elemental wave flashed away. Epitomously perceived by Daphany.
Contract magic turned out to be a special kind of spiritual magic! Daphne pondered, but she couldn't figure out what kind of magic it was. After all, although Daphine's magic is already stronger than that of ordinary adult wizards, she still knows very little about the advanced magic of contract magic. Of course, in fact, contract magic is now commonly used in the entire wizarding world, and basically no one knows what the essence of it is.
Tell Jingjing to take care of the Potions Factory and Toy Factory, and take the potions out of the Potions Factory at the time required by the contract and take them to Lestranzi Manor to be picked up by the Heliaix family or the St. Mungo's Hospital.
With all this arranged, Daphany packed her things and prepared to go back to Hogwarts. After all, there's a bunch of over there.
