Chapter 370: Attention
At nine o'clock in the evening, it was already bedtime, but tonight's Gryffindor common room was still brightly lit, and the sleepless little wizards could be seen everywhere discussing Professor Brian's upcoming physical fitness class at Hogwarts, and even the young wizards of the Gryffindor prefects forgot to remind everyone to follow order and join in the lively discussion.
When there is a hot topic in the wizarding world or Hogwarts, the 'natives' of the wizarding world like Ron are always more likely to be followed.
Because they were born and raised, they knew more about the wizarding world, and they had mastered more about magic than a young wizard like Harry who grew up in the Muggle world, and of course, there were 'freaks' like Hermione.
But this time, things have changed, and young wizards born in the wizarding world have gathered around Harry, Hermione, Dean, and Seamus to listen to them talk about what 'physical education' is all about.
In the unconsciously buzzing, the portrait of the fat lady opened, and the leading Percy Weasley entered the hole, and when he saw the 'pomp' in the lounge, he instinctively frowned and wanted to scold, but, considering that there were indeed special circumstances, and that he himself was breaking the school rules, he finally swallowed the rebuke that rolled to his lips.
"Don't block the door, Mr. President!"
Percy's two twin brothers, Fred and George, climbed into the common room, and he grabbed Percy's arms and moved him out of the hole, making way for Ginny, Colin, and the others behind him.
"How?"
Under the candlelight near the fireplace, Ron waved when he saw them walking in.
"It's easy--"
George brushed his hair and looked carefree, "It didn't take much effort, did it, Fred?" ”
"Excuse me, let me go--"
Fred pulled Ron up on the couch and sat down with a long sigh of relief.
"We managed to convince her to sign the application, and Professor McGonagall had no problem with Ginny's application, but he was clearly not happy with me and George getting involved,"
Fred shook his head and said,
"She's worried it's going to make our OWLS results even more unsightly, but who cares about that, do you care, George?"
"I don't care." George replied dryly.
Ginny giggled, and with nowhere to put his ass, Ron glared at Ginny dissatisfiedly,
"Speaking of which, why did you apply, you're only in the second grade, and you're a girl, aren't you?"
"Do you have any prejudice against girls, Ron--" Ginny asked dissatisfiedly, but then, she noticed that Harry was also looking at him, and her fair cheeks immediately flushed, and her tone became less domineering.
"Professor Bryan must be hoping that his course will be supported by more people, I should be grateful that he rescued me from the back room, and besides, I think this class will be fun!"
This is indeed a very powerful reason, and Professor Bryan has a great affection for the Weasleys, which Ron cannot argue.
"Interesting, it's not necessarily—" Ron muttered quietly.
"That's why I chose to join—"
Percy said solemnly,
"I'm afraid you don't know how much I'm going on right now, I have to take classes, prepare for the NEWTS exams, be responsible for maintaining order, and plan for my future--"
Percy's intention was to work for the Ministry of Magic, and he was not shy about discussing it.
"I thought it was for your girlfriend!"
Ginny said with a grin,
"I was in the foyer and overheard her chatting with a friend, she was interested in Professor Brian's course and was planning to sign an application with Professor Flitwick!"
Percy's face visibly flushed, which made everyone understand that this might be the reason why Percy was willing to spend his time in gym class, which at first glance seemed worthless.
"If you'd like to get into the Ministry of Magic, Percy, I think you could talk to Professor Brian—"
The so-called scholar cherishes the scholar, Hermione and Percy have always had a good relationship, probably the best one for the Weasley brothers and sisters besides Ron, she has asked Percy many times for questions, and when the exchange place, Percy has also confided to her many times about his plan to enter the Ministry of Magic.
Although Mr. Weasley did not work for the Ministry of Magic, he was clearly not comparable to Professor Bryan in terms of high-level connections, which Hermione was extremely sure of, as Mr. Weasley certainly would not be able to help her solve the time-turner problem so easily.
"Oh, you're right, Hermione!"
Percy reacted immediately,
"As mentioned in my father's letter to me, Professor Blaine has a very good relationship with the Minister and Ms. Amelia Bones of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, and maybe he can write me a letter of recommendation for me to work in this department, oh, this is the most powerful department in the Ministry of Magic - thank you, Hermione, I'm going back and think about how to convince Professor Brian!"
With that, Percy hurried away, and the figure disappeared a few steps up the spiral staircase.
"Tsk, the right creature without emotion."
Fred shook his head and sighed, and his comment drew a happy laugh from everyone.
"Speaking of which, what were you guys talking about?" Ginny asked.
"Harry and Seamus were telling me what physical education was all about in a Muggle school—" Neville said worriedly, "I don't think I'm very good at it." ”
"Don't worry, Neville." Dean thoughtfully comforted, "There's more to it than that's what you're not good at. ”
"But admittedly, it sounds stupid--"
Ron frowned, puzzled,
"Harry just told us about some of the sports he experienced in this class when he was in Muggle school, no broomsticks, no bats, just a bunch of people running around on the ground chasing a non-flying ball, or lifting an iron ball to throw farther than anyone, I can't figure out why Muggles love these sports, and Professor Bryan is going to teach us to play these in PE class?"
"For the guest officer, football is not as good as Quidditch, but it's still fun--"
Harry said, "A lot of Muggles around the world love the sport – it doesn't have to be, Ron, we all know Professor Bryan likes to do things that are unexpected. ”
"But anyway, the name of this class comes from Muggles, isn't it, but Hogwarts is a school of witchcraft and wizardry."
Ron said with his arms folded over his chest and a frown.
"Maybe--"
Hermione gave the most likely answer so far,
"Professor Blaine hopes that we can learn more about Mr. Muggle Weasley through the Muggle movement, many wizards don't care about the changes in the Muggle world at all, but Muggles are actually amazing, they use technology to overcome many difficulties, Professor Dumbledore often tells everyone in public that they need to face up to the progress of Muggles, but with little success, maybe Professor Blaine is trying to bring the two worlds closer in this way."
Hermione did have some truth in what she said, but Hogwarts already had a Muggle Studies class, and Professor Bryan didn't need to smash Professor Carreddy Bubbag's job.
Professor Black and Professor Snape appeared at the faculty table again, and from the outside they were all right, and they didn't bother with each other as before, much to the disappointment of the few young wizards who wanted to continue watching the fun.
And about Professor Bryan's upcoming physical education class, the next few days have been hot.
Although the announcement stated that only the junior wizards of the third and fourth grades were required to participate, in reality, the senior junior wizards of the four schools applied for participation and a small number of them.
The deans of the academy are also very open to the applications of the little wizards, except in rare cases, most of the deans will approve the application, but they will be reminded that this course may be more difficult, and they must be fully mentally prepared.
After an anxious Saturday weekend, Professor Bryan's 'PE class' finally began early Monday morning
