Chapter 13 The New School Year

"How can there be such a stupid person?" Draco looked incredulous. This was his reaction when he heard that Hermione wanted to fight for wages and benefits for the house-elves.

"Muggle-born kids, thinking is weird." Pansy also looked incomprehensible.

Daphine didn't care, she could understand Hermione to a certain extent. But it was absolutely impossible for her to give up the service of the house-elves. I really didn't expect that in this world, Hermione would still be the same as the original world, and she would start to worry about the idleness of house-elves.

Hermione had been told to Daphany and Draco by Harry, who had been overwhelmed by it. The trio have a strange relationship right now, and Hermione and Ron are only on a decent relationship, so if it's only Gryffindor, Harry is Hermione's only friend. So more to say Hermione only to him. Sometimes it's a good thing, sometimes it's the opposite. Lately, for example, Hermione has been doing a lot of research on how to get the elves to be treated in what she thinks is reasonable. She even violated school rules by visiting the kitchen at night.

However, she was not satisfied with the results, and even the elves were indifferent to her proposal - this is debatable, as the elves were very hostile to Hermione's approach.

However, Harry came to Daphany more for academic reasons.

Compared to the first three grades, the homework in the fourth grade is more than twice as difficult! From the perspective of the curriculum, the first to third grades can only be regarded as laying the foundation. Therefore, it is deliberately mixed with a lot of interesting things. In the fourth grade, it begins with a complex advanced curriculum. Defense Against the Dark Arts class, for example, has been in the third year and has been just something that is very simple to deal with low-level monsters and more theoretical. It wasn't until the fourth year that advanced classes began for specific dark arts and advanced magical creatures.

Dumbledore recruited Moody as a professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts that year, apparently not wanting the little savior Harry, whom he valued so much, to be lacking at this stage. The eccentricity of the performance made Daphany, who knew everything, pout.

Hagrid managed to breed a fried tail snail over the summer that he didn't know what it was for. He had planned to make this the main part of the curriculum for the fourth, fifth and sixth grades. But when he wrote to Hermione and Harry for advice, they both vehemently denied the creature. This made Daphany, who knew about it afterwards, sigh out, after all, she also took Magical Beast Protection.

Hagrid was able to listen to persuasion, after all, there was an accident with the Poisonhorn last year. Although it didn't cause a bad impact, it still put him under a lot of pressure. Therefore, although he was sad that he couldn't play the fried tail snail, he was sad for a few days. And another of his proposals was taken up by Harry and Hermione - the Griffin, aka the Griffon. The griffin that Daphany gave him, to be exact.

After more than half a year, Hagrid finally succeeded in taming the beast - here Daphany gave a capital convincing. Two days before the official start of the class, Daphany went with Harry and the others to see the griffin that Hagrid was going to use as the target of the lesson, well, it was already as docile as Hagrid's big dogtooth.

Daphany noticed that the griffin was much fatter than she had remembered. It's not just that I'm big, but I'm really fat. Daphany strongly suspects that Hagrid had fattened her.

Although griffons are also very dangerous creatures, they are much more suitable than the completely disobedient snails under their intelligence, and the griffons that can be tamed. And the griffin is beautiful enough to be loved by the little wizards, which is good for the lesson.

Sure enough, after the first lesson in the Magical Beasts Protective Shell, Hagrid's reputation for the last semester has increased once again. The third-year students' curriculum was the same as Harry's last year, which was a Hippogriff. Originally, this had already made them very excited. But when it became known that the older students were able to play with the griffons, this was what Ron was talking about, but he didn't. They hope like never before that they can move up to the senior class as soon as possible. Naturally, the same thing happened to first- and second-year students who didn't have electives yet.

If things go the way, Magical Beast Conservation in Year 3 next year might be a real lesson!

Compared with the soaring reputation of Magical Beast Protection, the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, which was originally a first-class reputation last year, has dropped this year. Students who have already taken classes say that while the newcomer Professor Moody's has learned a lot of useful things in his class, something that was not possible before last year. However, his teaching style is not as popular as that of Professor Lupin.

Once again, Gryffindor and Slytherin's Defence Against the Dark Arts class was placed together, as was the eternal Potions class. Both have two consecutive large classes, one on Thursday and Friday afternoon!

The new semester has just begun, and classes are very intense. In order to cope with the sudden doubling of the amount of homework, even a group of Gryffindors with leather monkeys began to appear in large numbers of students who fought in the library until the lights went out.

"I can't believe that Fred and George still have the leisure to play pranks in this situation!" On Wednesday night, dragging his tired body, Ron sighed as he made his way back from the library to Gryffindor Tower. 22 Literary Network

"That's a good thing for you, right?" Seamus said jealously.

Ron smiled, it's a good thing! The toy factory is already a supergiant in the magic joke goods industry on a par with condiments. The twins' incomes are already so high that even if they make up for it, the whole family can easily do it. In fact, coming up with an almost astronomical sum of money for the Weasleys that would completely change their living environment could be a drop in the bucket for the twins.

In this situation, Ron's standard of living has increased exponentially. At this time, he has returned to the life he was supposed to have - the rich second-generation son of a magical super traditional wealthy family.

Before that, whether on the train or going to Hogsmeade, most of the time it was Harry who paid the bill, and now Ron said that Young Master Ben's wallet was also full. Of course, compared to this unlovely younger brother, in fact, the little sister Ginny is a rich woman. The twins gave Ginny far more pocket money than Ron. But Ron didn't know about it.

"It's fine." Hermione and Daphany walked a little behind. Hermione heard Ron's words and said nonchalantly, "I didn't think it was that hard. In fact, I put a lot of energy into other things as well. ”

No one paid any attention to her, including Daphany and another Ravenclaw girl.

Even Daphne and Ravenclaw in the Xueba branch still struggled a little with the sudden increase in their learning volume in the first week. But Hermione, who opened the aura of a scholar, was so powerful that she didn't care. In fact, as she said, that night, while Daphany and the others were immersed in their homework, Miss Xueba spent almost two hours studying the effects of the war caused by the medieval elf rebellion on the house-elves. Daphany said that she was very convinced, and said that she was inferior to the top student......

Unfortunately, there were no Quidditch tournaments this year, and the tournament hadn't officially started yet, so there was plenty of time to spend in the evenings studying your homework. Otherwise, Daphany may really be a little overwhelmed.

Compared to the talented Hermione, Daphany can really only be regarded as an acquired hard-working type in academics. But even so, in terms of theoretical results, not to mention Hermione, even a few honor students in Ravenclaw Daphne can't compare. In the past two years, I have relied on practical results to pull up the score to have a top result.

Compared to the ability to practice magic, Daphany unceremoniously said that she was proud of the entire academy. Three or five seventh-graders teamed up and were no match for themselves. However, this is based on the fact that her magic and mental power far surpass that of her peers. If you really talk about how good your mastery of magic is, that's actually it.

Of course, having said that, when it comes to fighting, Daphany is still invincible in all kinds of fancy ways of her peers. Therefore, when Dumbledore announced that the tournament would limit participants under the age of seventeen, many students were very sure that this was the strategy set by other houses to target Daphany.

In fact, this is very likely, after all, Daphany is now well-known in the entire European Academy circle and even in the entire European wizarding world. Whether it's Griffin's performance against an adult dark wizard and a werewolf last year, or this year's World Cup, it is clear that this girl who has just entered the fourth grade has a strength that most adults find difficult to achieve.

The magician's magic growth curve is usually fixed, usually starting to grow rapidly after the age of twenty, and this rapid growth will continue to increase, and grow faster and faster, until the age of thirty. After the age of thirty, the growth of magic is still relatively fast, but compared to the ten years between the ages of twenty and thirty, the speed will be slowed down.

After reaching the age of fifty, the growth of magic will begin to slow down. Although it will continue to grow every year, the rate of growth will be slower and slower. This level will be maintained until the magician is eighty years old. This age is already a dying age for ordinary people, but for magicians, there are usually decades left to live. For example, Dumbledore, without taking the elixir, he had already lived for more than one hundred and twenty years.

At Dumbledore's age, Devhanie didn't know if the magic was still growing. However, even if it grows, according to the growth rate will decrease after the age of fifty, even if it is still growing, the increase is insignificant compared to Dumbledore's ontological magic.

This theory is one that has been widely accepted in the wizarding world. But right now, Daphine, a girl who is only fourteen or fifteen years old, has not yet entered the peak of her magical growth, and already has magic that is comparable to or even surpasses that of adults. This is a huge threat to players from other academies.

You know, the oldest students in school will not reach the age of 20, so all of them have not entered the age of rapid growth of magic. Faced with Daphany, who already possessed magic beyond the average adult wizard, they couldn't help but feel that their players might be pressed to the ground and rubbed.

Daphany didn't think much about it at this point, and it didn't matter to her whether she participated in the tournament or not. Honor? She wasn't interested. A thousand gold Galleons? That's even less interesting.

In contrast, she was more interested in the upcoming Defense Against the Dark Arts class, or rather Moody's in Sibe.
