Chapter 289: NEWT Lesson

This was perhaps the first time in many years that Dumbledore had finished his speech at the opening dinner in a very serious tone.

The effect is very good, and the vast majority of people are urgent. But it's hard to say whether it was because of the speech or the attack a few hours ago.

Benches were pushed behind them with a screeching sound, and the students began to leave the auditorium and make their way to the dormitories.

Hermione was the first to leave, going to do her duties as a prefect and returning to the dorm with the little Peeweens who had just been assigned to Gryffindor. Because of this, Ron was able to stay next to Harry, who was reluctant to go first.

Of course, he also had something to say to Harry.

"Hermione hasn't spoken, Harry." Ron said.

"What? She just said that. Harry was a little confused.

"I mean when we were at Hogsmeade Station." Ron looked warily at the people around him and whispered, "I think she has something on her mind......"

"Ron, that's obvious."

"I know, but I'm trying to say that we probably all underestimated the effect that man had on her......" By this time, the people in the auditorium were almost gone, and Ron and Harry whispered as they walked out.

"Ike?" Harry nodded thoughtfully, but quickly shook his head again, "Ron, it's inconvenient for us to enlighten her, maybe Ginny can?" ”

"Maybe, but there are some things we can't talk to Ginny about......"

"Hi Harry!" As they spoke, a voice rang out from behind the two of them, and when they turned their heads to look, it was Hagrid.

"How are you guys? God, I was so scared when I knew! ”

"Luckily, Madam Pomfrey's treatment is very good, just a little bruised." Harry showed him his arm and asked, "I saw you were a little late, what were you doing?" ”

"I'm with Glopp, you remember him." Hagrid said, "He now has a new home in the mountains, a beautiful cave arranged by Dumbledore, and he loves it very much, much happier than when he was in the Forbidden Forest...... That's why I didn't have time to save you. ”

"You ...... You can't blame me, right? ”

"How is that possible, Hagrid!" Harry shook his head and comforted, "No one would have thought Voldemort's lackeys would do such crazy things......"

"I hope you don't say that name anymore, Harry." Hagrid immediately interrupted Harry's words and said solemnly.

Harry disagreed, stubbornly saying, "Dumbledore just called him by his name!" ”

"Yes, but you also said it, that's Dumbledore." Hagrid said, "And, from what I've just heard, I think you should stop saying the name of the man who attacked you today......"

"Hagrid, isn't this a bit serious?" Ron asked, puzzled, "He's not at the level of a mystery man, but I told him with my own eyes that Dumbledore gave him a hard opening in the stomach!" ”

"But none of you are his match except Dumbledore, are you?"

Before Harry could refute something, Hagrid stretched out his right hand in front of Harry, interrupting what he was about to say.

"I know what you're trying to say about Harry, but just in case, listen to me, especially when you're not at Hogwarts."

After saying that, Hagrid's face showed a smile again, and his big hand patted the shoulders of the two, and said happily, "Okay, that's all, we'll see you tomorrow!" ”

"First class in the afternoon, come early!"

He raised an arm, shook it at Harry and Ron, and then turned and walked out of the hallway, leaving Harry and Ron staring at each other.

"You're not going to choose the Magical Beasts Protection class, are you?" Harry asked.

Ron shook his head and asked, "You don't choose either, do you?" ”

Harry shook his head.

"Maybe Hermione is the only one to choose, I think she might have to challenge herself to get all twelve newt certificates."

"Maybe......"

They looked at each other, their faces full of helplessness. Qi Qi sighed and walked to the dormitory.

After a good night's sleep, they met in the common room before breakfast the next day, but they only talked about choosing courses for the new semester. Neither Harry nor Ron had mentioned yesterday, they hadn't figured out how to speak.

They chatted as they walked towards the Great Hall, where Harry told Hermione about the conversation he had with Hagrid last night.

"I'm not going to take a magical beast conservation class either." At the Gryffindor long table, Hermione grabbed an egg sandwich and said, "The Ministry of Magic doesn't have a time turner, and I can't finish all my classes like I did for the previous two years." ”

"And, even if I can apply for a time turner, I'm not going to take any more magical beast conservation classes."

"yes." Ron said as he ate, "We love Hagrid, so we're the hardest and most enthusiastic in his class, but who would have thought he would think we liked that stupid class." ”

"Who do you think will take his class?"

Harry and Hermione both shook their heads, it was clear to everyone that no one in the entire sixth year liked Magical Beasts Conservation class, and no one wanted to take it again. Last year's experience was so horrible that no one wants to go through it again.

As they chatted, Hagrid left his professorship and happily waved to Harry. The three of them were a little embarrassed, but they just waved their hands hastily.

After breakfast, they did not leave, but remained seated in their seats, waiting for Professor McGonagall to come. Sixth-year classes can be tricky because each professor has different Newt requirements for their subjects, and Professor McGonagall needs to check each individual's OWLS test scores to ensure that they meet the minimum requirements for the Newt course they are choosing.

Hermione's was the easiest, with twelve O's grades meeting all the requirements of the course, and it was up to Hermione to choose what to take. So it was quickly decided that she would continue to study Charms, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration, Herbology, Arithmetic Divination, Divination, Ancient Runifin, and Potions, in addition to the history of magic, astronomy, Muggle studies, and magical animal protection.

It's still very busy, probably the most in the whole sixth grade program, but it's much better than the previous two years.

"Very good choice, in fact, if you continue to choose to take all the courses, I would also advise you to give up a few of them." Professor McGonagall handed Hermione the scheduled timetable and said, "That's fine now. ”

She flipped through her notes again, looking at Harry.

"Here's ...... Potter," she said, "Charms class, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Herbology, Transfiguration...... If the grades meet the standard, you can do it. ”

"But why don't you continue with the Potions class? I remember your dream to be an Aoro. ”

"Yes, but you told me that I had to get O in Potions class." Harry said.

"That's exactly what Professor Snape did when he taught the subject." "But Professor Slughorn is willing to accept students with an E, so would you like to continue taking Potions classes?" ”

"Willing is willing, but I didn't buy textbooks and raw materials......"

"It's okay, I'm sure Professor Slughorn can lend you some." Professor McGonagall handed Harry the confirmed timetable, "By the way, twenty students have already applied to join the Quidditch team, I'll give you the list later, and you can arrange the selection at your time." ”

In a few more minutes, Ron's class schedule came down, just like Harry's.

After taking the timetable, they left the auditorium together.
