Chapter 122: Merlin Doesn't Roll the Dice

Tom Riddle is hiding in the Room of Need, and it can only be said that it is a mixed blessing.

The good news is that it is better to determine his position than to let him continue to hide in the shadows and make trouble with the wind and rain; The bad news is that Rove can't get into the Room of Requirement either.

After he finished the interrogation of the worm tail, he rushed to the eighth floor that day and found the portrait of the stupid Barnabas.

Barnabas was a Jewish Christian in the New Testament, also known as an apostle. He sold his land and gave it to the church, and he also helped St. Paul and St. Mark.

The painting depicts Barnabas trying to teach trolls ballet, only to be beaten by the trolls.

On the opposite side of the portrait is a white wall, and you only need to walk through it three times and concentrate on what you want...... The entrance to the Room of Requirement will appear.

However, when this room is occupied, the wizard who wants to enter must have the same requirements as the user in order to enter.

Rove tried a lot of ideas, but unfortunately the door didn't appear.

Since he couldn't get in and could only keep watch, Rove asked the invisible beast Uduka to take her two daughters in turn...... Twenty-four hour surveillance!

He didn't believe that Tom didn't come out.

It's a stupid way, but it's also the most effective.

……

……

The school was safe for the time being until Tom left the Room of Requirement, but the professors apparently didn't think so.

Each class is escorted by a teacher, and students go out for activities, no less than five people at a time, so you can often see a long queue at the door of the toilet.

In order to ensure the safety of the students, the teachers have also moved out of their offices and into the common room, which ensures that students are protected in the first place if something goes wrong.

Even Quidditch matches were cancelled, the second year in a row that the tournament had been suspended.

This is not good news for Hufflepuff, who have been top in points for both years and have a good chance of winning the title, but they are unable to play due to unexpected events.

To make matters worse, captain Truman and a group of veterans, who are in their prime and have a lot of experience, but they are graduating this year, and they missed this opportunity, and the decline in the strength of the team is obvious.

But the students really didn't care about the game, especially the day before the Easter holidays, when the Minister for Magic, Fudge, suddenly appeared at Hogwarts.

For a while, rumors were spreading, and there were all kinds of things.

Malfoy tells everyone that the school is going to have a new headmaster, but when asked who it is, he always asks, "Anyway, it's my dad's best friend!" ”

McLagan of Gryffindor also mysteriously said that the Ministry of Magic had captured the criminal, and that his uncle was good friends with Scrimgeour, the head of the Auror Office.

As for why it is not announced, it can only be said that everyone understands it, and if you don't know how to say it, you don't understand it, so it's better not to say it.

Susan even swore to tell the Hufflepuff students that Hogwarts was going to be shut down, and that her aunt Amelia Bones was the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, and it seemed to be reliable.

Everyone has their own information, either this person's uncle, or that person's neighbor's second uncle next door works in the Ministry of Magic.

Even the ghosts of the school seem to have old friends who can't be beaten by eight poles, and tell them some hidden gossip.

But the work of the school is still going on in an orderly manner, especially for the second-year students, who need to think about the third-grade curriculum.

"You should think about it this Easter holiday." In the Transfiguration class, McGonagall pursed her lips and said with a serious expression:

"This is a very important choice for magical education, and it is related to the general witchcraft level test in the fifth grade...... It's also about your future work......"

Although the second year is not over yet, Professor McGonagall has already thought about her future employment, and her advice is to take more important courses and get some important certificates.

Those courses that are useless can be optionally abandoned.

But when the young wizard asked what a useless lesson was, Professor McGonagall just smiled and said:

"Merlin doesn't roll dice."

This has been interpreted to mean that Merlin does not do divination, and many people know that Professor McGonagall is not very fond of Professor Trelawney, and compares her divination class to a roll of dice.

Professor Trelawney also disliked Professor McGonagall, predicting that Gryffindor would die and that Gryffindor Quidditch would not win the title.

Professor Sprout also reminded the badgers that this year's Year 7 employment situation is grim and it is the most difficult employment season ever...... You should be careful when choosing a course.

Compared with the teachers' considerations, the students' priority is that the curriculum is simple, easy and ...... Teachers are not forced.

The most classic negative example is the Potions class, the difficulty of learning, the difficulty of the exam, and the teacher is still a big * force.

Of course, everyone was careful to say this, for fear of being heard by Professor Snape.

At this time, compared to experienced professors, seniors and seniors seem to be more trustworthy existences.

After all, they've stepped on all the pits they should have stepped on!

It's like a graduate student choosing a tutor, regardless of how good the outside world is, how beautiful the boss's resume is, and how round and big the pie he draws for you is......

If his students are very vaguely suggestive that they are not recommended to come, then run quickly, do not hesitate at all!

"If you want to choose the easiest subject, my suggestion is Professor Trelawney's divination class."

In the Hufflepuff Lounge, Prefect Cedric imparts personal experience.

"Didn't someone say that Professor Trelawney prophesied the death of a student every year?" Hannah asked worriedly.

"But it never happened," Cedric shrugged, "Professor Trelawney is a little quirky, but her classes are light, you just need to be able to lie and get by." ”

The little wizards whispered, and many of them decided to take a divination class.

But there are exceptions, McMillan heard that the ancient magic script was the most difficult, and he has always claimed to be highly intelligent, and he wants to cash in on his talent.

As for Justin, he was even more dashing, numbering those classes, then closing his eyes and rolling the dice...... The number of dice is the number of courses.

……

……

In the library,

Rove: They were also discussing the choice of courses.

Neville looked puzzled, and his family had sent him a number of letters with many suggestions on the selection of courses, and if the letter was followed, he might need to take all the courses.

"It's okay, just choose what you're good at." Rove said softly, "Neville, you are going to engage in herbal research in the future, and even stay at Hogwarts as a herbology teacher."

Arithmetic divination classes will not help you in your future employment, and you don't like it too much...... Then there's no need to choose. ”

Rove said, ticking off his own courses, such as Muggle studies and arithmetic divination, he didn't choose either, only the protection of magical beasts, ancient magic texts, and divination classes.

Protecting Magical Beasts and Ancient Magical Texts were definitely subjects to take, and as for the divination class, he went to the prophecy of Professor Trelawney...... Although this is a matter of probability.

Shirley's other classes were the same as Rove's, except that the divination class was replaced by her for arithmetic divination.

Only Hermione was the most entangled, she had a dozen reference books in her hand and studied them there for days.

"We still have to be cautious, it will affect our entire future." Hermione pursed her lips as she spoke, looking a lot like Professor McGonagall.

Hermione studied it for a long time and finally came to a conclusion:

These classes are very valuable to learn, and taking all is the best!
