Chapter 741: He looked too happy just now
In the auditorium, students from each college were given their own schedules.
"The first period in the morning is Potions class, and I need to hurry to class. Hermione walked among the wizards who had hurried out of the Great Hall, came up to Allen, and greeted him.
"I'll have to make a tour of the venue where my ancient magic class will be practiced, don't be late in the afternoon, as my first batch of students, I have a gift for you. Alan told Hermione and Luna that even though he hadn't filled out a single class for the advanced class, he hadn't returned to the tower to do research, and that as a professor he wanted his students to have the best classroom experience possible - although he didn't know the exact number, Flitwick had just told him that from the applications he had received so far, there were quite a few Ravenclaws to attend.
After a holiday arrangement and renovation, the classroom and office of the ancient magic class have been allocated to Allen, but referring to the dueling class of Demoust, Allen does not want all the students to sit in the classroom all day to do some low-intensity activities, so he plans to go to the area around the Black Lake of the Forbidden Forest to choose a suitable area quickly, and then transform it into a place for combat training.
"I've got to go to a magical beast conservation class too. Luna flicked her carrot pendant and stood up, "Alan, you can come and have a look around Hagrid's cabin." β
Seeing Luna mention of the Magical Beasts Protection class, Hermione suddenly lowered her head to look at her class schedule, which made her realize that she, Harry, and Ron, who were considered Hagrid's best friends, had not filled in Hagrid's Magical Beasts Protection class...... Although I know that because there are many wizards who try to fill up the twelve courses, Hagrid's current teaching is not as bad as it was at the beginning, and there is no shortage of wizards who want to enter the Department of Magical Creature Management and Control after graduation, so there should be a lot of wizards who apply for Hagrid's advanced class, so that there will not be an embarrassing situation where no one goes to class - but the question now is, how will Hagrid explain it to him when he finds out that his three favorite friends are not attending his classes......
At this time, the aisle outside the auditorium was full of people, and the young wizards who had finished breakfast and got their class schedules were scrambling to find their classrooms, especially the new students, and the terrain of Hogwarts was even more dizzying when there was no one to guide them.
Parvati Patil and Lavender Brown walked down the hallway with books in their arms, and the laughter of two pretty witches caught the attention of many wizards.
"It's a shame that that beautiful centaur Ferenze doesn't teach sixth grade divination this year. Parvati and Lavender sighed after a moment of chattering, "He was the one who supported me in choosing the divination class." β
"Professor Traurini is just as charismatic, she is very popular on Harris TV, many people want to pay a lot of money for her to do private divination, and now we can contact her every week and get her own guidance, this is the most exciting thing!" Lavender held her head high, she had never cut off contact with Professor Traulini, and she naturally made the professor's favorite protΓ©gΓ©, "I knew she would succeed in the lower grades, and she predicted the death of my rabbits!"
"Ladies, the history of magic is taught upstairs, not downstairs. Professor McGonagall held a roll of parchment and shouted to Lavender and Parvati, who were not paying attention to the direction and were being swept up in the crowd, she commanded helplessly in the chaotic crowd, and when she saw the scene in the distance, she quickly shouted, "Davis, Mr. Davis, don't go in......!
In the crowd, Harry watched as the wizards hurried to the classroom and said to Ron, "I need to go to Potions class." β
Ron's face was relaxed, and he winked at Harry and said, "I didn't have classes in the morning. β
"Potter, Mr. Weasley!" Harry looked at Professor McGonagall as he screamed, and Ron froze with a smile on his face.
"Oh, no. Ron whispered, and had to bite the bullet and walk with Harry to Professor McGonagall.
"Potter, I remember you had Potions class in the morning. Professor McGonagall asked with a stern look on her face.
"Yes, Professor, I'm going to the Potions classroom. Harry rubbed his hands together a little awkwardly.
"Good. Professor McGonagall pursed her lips and nodded, then raised her chin to Ron and said to Harry, "Potter, bring Mr. Weasley with you, he looked too happy just now." β
Ron hurriedly explained, "Professor, my grades are not up to the requirements for entering the Potions class......
"Mr. Weasley, that's why I asked Potter to take you. Professor McGonagall looked at Ron dissatisfied, anxious to get out of class, and sighed helplessly.
"Yes, Professor......" Ron gave up arguing with his head hanging down.
Seeing Weasley's appearance, McGonagall shook her head slightly, and then said to Harry, "Harry, the previous captain Angelina Johnson has graduated, as the successor, you, the new Quidditch captain, must select the team members as soon as possible, we have not won the Quidditch Cup for many years, plus our main chaser last year, the batsman twins have graduated, this time the rebuilding pressure is very high, Potter, there are only two chances before you graduate." Professor McGonagall glanced at Weasley again, because last year it was because Ron was the goalkeeper, because the Slytherins used that "King Weasley" to cause him to be under too much pressure to perform properly, so that other teams could brush up the scoring charts every time they faced Gryffindor.
Although McGonagall didn't say it, Ron, who noticed her eyes, shrugged his shoulders and complained after walking away from Harry, "This Potions class might as well be reserved for me to practice Quidditch." β
As they walked up the stairs to the basement, they saw Hagrid happily raise an arm and wave desperately at them, Harry and Ron looked at each other, they avoided his gaze and waved at him in response.
Trying his best not to hear Hagrid's shout for them to come early in the afternoon, Harry, who had gotten rid of the half-blood giant, said to Ron with a look of embarrassment, "The Magical Beasts Protection class is in the first period of the afternoon, and he should be going to teach the junior students now." β
"Hermione didn't take his class either, and he probably didn't know that none of us took his class. Ron scratched his head in frustration, "...... If I had known I was going to sign up for Hagrid's class, Professor McGonagall wouldn't have asked me to follow you to any Potions class......"
What Hagrid would have thought if he knew, Harry didn't want to think about it anymore: "Speaking of potions, we're going to be late again, let's go." β
When Harry and Ron entered the Potions classroom, they found themselves late, as the basement classroom was already filled with steam and all sorts of strange smells.
"Attention to detail in the preparation phase...... is a prerequisite for the success of any program. Professor Slughorn, who heard the movement behind him through the many hot steams, turned around and greeted Harry very warmly, "Ah, Harry, my dear child, I am so glad to see you, I am starting to worry, I see you have brought a friend with you?"
"Professor Slughorn, my name is Ron Weasley. Professor McGonagall just asked Harry to bring me over...... But my grades weren't good enough for the advancement class, and I wasn't up to your standards...... Actually, I'm in a bad position to learn potions, and to be honest, asking me to make potions is a threat to others......" Ron tried to explain that he wasn't qualified, and wanted Professor Slughorn to refuse his studies.
Harry heard his red-haired friend say this, and let himself take a half step back, with his hand against Ron's back, not letting Ron back down, he didn't want to take Potions class alone, it would be best if he could be accompanied by Ron.
Slughorn, who had been a little hesitant when he heard this, noticed Harry's movements, and he simply raised his hand to welcome Ron, and smiled kindly at Ron. "Nonsense! We won't know until after class. I heard you're a good friend of Harry, so you're my friend too, so get your textbooks out. β
With that, Professor Slughorn turned around and prepared to continue teaching.
"Professor?" said Harry, holding up his hand.
Slughorn turned to look at Harry again, confused, "What's wrong Harry?"
"My books haven't arrived, Ron's books haven't arrived, and we don't have any equipment because we didn't think we'd be qualified to go to the advanced class. We've just placed an order for the Blotted bookstore, but it's not there yet. Harry said dryly.
"You can go to the closet and look for textbooks, the materials in the cupboard can be used first, and the scales can be lent to you. Slughorn raised his hand and continued to focus on his teaching, "I prepared some decoction this morning, does anyone know what these are?"
Slughorn straightened his chest, which looked bulging from his fatness, and the buttons on his waistcoat looked like they were about to burst out, and he walked up to the potions, looking at them in fascination, and Hermione raised her hand as his words fell.
"Very good, this ......"
"Hermione Granger, Professor. Hermione lowered her raised hand.
"Hermione Granger......" Slughorn groaned for a moment, his eyes widened suddenly, his body leaned forward slightly, and then he walked around the crucible with his big belly, walked up to Hermione and stretched out his hand, he asked enthusiastically with a smile on his face, "Isn't it Miss Granger, the CEO of Umbrella Corporation?" Miss Granger, it's an honor to see you here, I'm very sorry, I refused your invitation last year because I was not in good health and was bedridden during that time, I'm really sorry." β
Seeing Professor Slughorn's sudden display of enthusiasm, the wizards in the classroom exchanged glances with each other in surprise and whispered to each other. Except for the elite elite wizards who chose to join Harris and a few young wizards born from pure-blood families who chose to join the training class, although most of the other ordinary wizards knew that Miss Know-It-all was managing the training class, but no one could have imagined that the umbrella company that had recently become famous in the wizarding world was actually under the management of Hermione Granger, and the Harris family was so relieved that a Muggle-born little witch was so relieved?
"It's okay Professor, Umbrella Corp. still has a chance to work with you. Hermione pretended to be calm and didn't think much about the embarrassment of being revealed by Slughorn, she shook the other party's hand lightly, and deliberately took a few steps forward and walked in front of the potion, "Professor, that pot is a truth spitting potion, which can make people confide the truth." β
While Hermione was answering, Harry and Ron were already in the closet, which contained two tattered sets of Libasho Polage's Advanced Potions Making. One of them was a little newer, and Harry and Ron looked at each other and immediately started a battle for the slightly newer textbook.
Harry won the skirmish with the agility of a Seeker and smugly raised his textbook, Ron flicked his book in annoyance.
Hermione had already guessed the last pot. "This pot is an aphrodisiac, the strongest ecstasy in the world. Hermione looked at Professor Slughorn, "It's said to vary from person to person, and it gives off the smell that attracts the person the most, like what I smell is a freshly cut lawn, brand new parchment, ......"
Hermione pursed her lips, her cheeks flushed, and she secretly said in her heart - the smell of Allen. But what came out of it became: "And the smell of 'Ojivi' sister soap." β
