This year's Easter falls on April 9, just three Sundays in the middle of Mother Day.

Hogwarts begins its two-week break on April 2 and does not begin until April 16.

Unlike Christmas, Easter is just over a month away from June's final exams, so young wizards mostly don't choose to go home for Easter, but stay at Hogwarts to prepare, although this "preparation" is usually just a matter of dozing off with the book in front of them......

Usually, on Easter Eve, the young wizards' families will send them Easter eggs from home, and the students of Hogwarts will give each other Easter eggs sent from home, which can be regarded as adding a bit of festive atmosphere to the castle.

In addition to exchanging Easter eggs, the second-year wizards have another task, which is to choose their own electives to prepare for the next third year.

Third-year students are required to take seven compulsory courses in Transfiguration, Charms, Potions, History of Magic, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Astronomy, and Herbology, as well as at least two electives from Divination, Arithmetic Divination, Ancient Runifin, Magical Beast Protection, and Muggle Studies.

As a result, the third year is more burdensome than the second year, not only is the course more difficult, but at least two new subjects are added in one go.

In the auditorium hall, Shivin sits with Abraxas, Mobley, and Gomez studying their elective lists.

"Which class is Xiwen going to take?" Abu asked, leaning his face over and looking at Xiwen's form.

"Yes, yes, which one Xiwen chooses, I will choose it too!" Mobley chimed in. "In this way, the homework for the elective courses will be settled."

Xiwen glanced at the two roommates who wanted to copy their homework with black lines on his face, and silently turned his gaze to Gomez.

"What about Gomez? What course do you want to take? Xiwen asked.

"First of all, I definitely wouldn't take the Magical Beasts Protection class. I heard that Professor Kettleburn almost burned down the auditorium at Christmas. Gomez said, crossing the form.

"Actually, Professor Kettleburn is a very good person......" Shevin put his hand on his forehead, thinking to himself that although the professor was a little more aggressive, he was still enthusiastic and knowledgeable overall, and his magical beast protection class must be very interesting.

It's a pity that Professor Kettleburn carried the pot back for Riddle, and there probably won't be too many students who choose the Magical Beasts Conservation class this time.

Sure enough, Abu and Mobley did the same, and they were excluded from the Magical Beasts Protection class.

Gomez thought for a moment, then ruled out the divination lesson.

"I heard that divination classes are very talented, and people who don't have talent are likely not to learn anything in this class." He said.

Xiwen nodded and added, "But this is also a course that is easy to mix credits. Professor Wabrasky of the divination class may also take into account the importance of talent in this class, so as long as the untalented little wizard can attend classes and hand in homework on time, the exam will be given a passing grade at the lowest. ”

When Abu and Mobley heard the last words, they both acted quickly and drew a circle behind the divination class on the elective table.

"Why do you choose so simply, don't you want to learn something new......" Xiwen said with the corners of his mouth twitching.

"I wondered, what if I'm one of those one-in-a-million divination geniuses?" Mobley said with gusto.

Abu seemed to think the same way, and the confidence in his eyes was about to overflow!

Looking at the two unbelievers, Xiwen shook his head helplessly, and had to add to Gomez: "Muggle studies can actually be ruled out, I looked at the textbook of this course, and I feel that if you want to understand Muggle society, you might as well read a few articles on Muggle realism." ”

One thing to say, Shevan's statement about Muggle studies is even somewhat restrained. In his opinion, the Muggle studies course was more derogatory to Muggles than a study of Muggles, with various language emphasizing the great differences between Muggles and wizards, including even references to the Muggle menace.

It is no wonder that Grindelwald has so many followers, and it is likely that many of them are wizards who have taken Muggle studies classes......

Gomez heeded Hevin's advice and eventually chose two electives: arithmetic and divination and ancient runes.

On the other side, Abu and Mobley were still struggling with which of the two courses they should choose to pass in addition to the divination class.

Seeing this, Xiwen rolled his eyes at the two of them and said, "Arithmetic divination and ancient runi are both courses that require a lot of brains, so don't think about being lazy." ”

"Then you say, is it easy to pass the Muggle Studies course?" Mobley crept over to Shevin and asked.

However, his words were heard by Abu.

Abu shouted in disbelief, "What? You're a pure-blood, and you'd want to study Muggles?! Are you worthy of our pure-blood family! ”

His indignant tone attracted the attention of the majority of his fellow Slytherins, and the pure-blood wizards at the long table all looked at Mobley with bad intentions.

"Okay, okay, I can't choose it!" Mobley shuddered, and immediately relented.

"Why don't you choose arithmetic divination, this course can at least improve your mathematical ability, and it can just be compared with the divination class." Xiwen smiled and waved at the crowd of onlookers, dismissing their attention.

Then he said to Abu and Mobley: "As for the advanced content of the ancient rune, it is likely that the next five years of study will not be enough for you to lay a good foundation. Therefore, if you don't want to work hard in class, don't take this course. ”

Abu and Mobley drew a circle at the back of the arithmetic divination class.

"Xiwen, by the way, how do you know so much about these draft classes?" Abu felt a little discouraged.

His connections have always been very good, so he thinks that he should be the strongest among his roommates and even the entire grade in terms of his ability to inquire about news. However, this time, Xiwen uncharacteristically knew about all the electives, which made him a little sullen.

Xiwen smiled and said to him, "Well, I happened to be with Miranda a few days ago to discuss some academic issues, so I asked her about electives by the way. ”

"Oh, I see." Abu's expression was a little better, and he nodded. "I also want to have a Ravenclaw student as a friend!"

"I think the premise of this is that you have to become a top student first." Mobley pierced his wishes mercilessly.

Abu then got into a fight with Mobley.

Xiwen glanced at the two of them habitually, and circled the course he wanted to take on the elective course form.

At this time, Gomez seemed to suddenly think of the question, looked at Hope and asked, "Wait, how does the Ravenclaw prefect Goshak know the specifics of each elective course?" ”

Hearing Gomez's question, Abu and Mobley also stopped fighting and looked at Xiwen curiously.

"Because, Miranda got the certificate of 12 ordinary wizard level exams last year!"

Xiwen looked at his elective form and chuckled.

Behind the five electives on the table, there are five circles, neatly arranged in a column!

This time, I wrote about Easter and calculated it again, only to find that the date of the previous Mother's Day was wrongly calculated, and now it has been changed back.
