Chapter 249: Course Selection
A week after returning from Paris, on a sunny morning, Kyle finally receives a letter from Hogwarts.
He went downstairs for breakfast that day as usual, and found Fred and George already waiting for him in the living room.
After more than a month of hiding, they now want to spend the whole day in the attic of Kyle's house, researching the "quick-fix truancy candy".
Chris didn't find it noisy either.
In fact, he welcomed Fred and George's ...... It's also nice to be lively early in the morning.
"Letter from school?" Kyle picks up a yellow parchment envelope from the table with green writing on it.
"That's right, it was just delivered a few minutes ago." Chris said.
"Five minutes." Fred said.
"We happened to meet an owl when we went out......"
"Kyle, take a look, you'll be surprised."
Kyle didn't speak, and read the letter carefully.
In addition to asking him to take the Hogwarts Express train from King's Cross Station to school on September 1st, the letter also listed a list of new books he needed for the year.
Third-graders read:
Intermediate Transfiguration, by Emory Swich.
Standard Spells: Level 3, by Miranda Goshak.
"Breaking with the Female Ghost" by Gilderoy Lockhart.
"Travelling with Ghouls" by Gilderoy Lockhart.
"Vacation with Dominatrix......
……
The next seven books are all works by Gilderoy Lockhart.
Although he had known that this would be the case, Kyle couldn't help but rub his forehead after seeing the exaggerated book list.
Gilderoy Lockhart's books are not cheap, basically five Galleons a book, and each of them needs to sell seven copies, which is thirty-five Galleons.
This is not a small amount, it is almost half a month's salary of Mr. Weasley.
And this is just one person's cost, even if only half of the people at Hogwarts can buy new books, Lockhart can easily earn tens of thousands of Galleons.
The Potter family's hard work for several generations has not necessarily earned as much as he did this time.
No wonder Lockhart took the job...... In front of tens of thousands of Galleons, even the notorious Defence Against the Dark Arts professor didn't seem so terrifying.
In front of Kim Gallon...... Curse? Oh, it's just an ethereal legend!
After reading the list, Kyle pulls out a second piece of parchment from his envelope.
"Why do you have one more ...... than us?"
Fred was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said, "Oh, I almost forgot, you're in the third grade, and you need to choose a class." ”
Kyle looked at the parchment.
3rd Grade Choice Courses:
(Choose a minimum of two courses and purchase the required textbooks before the start of the semester.) )
Arithmetic Divination, Numerical Divination and Graphics, by L. Wakefield, M. Carneiro.
Divination, "Cutting Through the Fog to See the Future", by Cassandra Wablaski.
Protecting Magical Creatures, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, by Newt Scamander.
Muggle Studies, The Life and Habits of Muggle Families in British Britain......
And the last one, the ancient runi.
A Simple Introduction to Ancient Runes
Rune Dictionary
Detailed Explanation of Runic Symbols
Magic Talisman
Magic Word Alphabet
Five books, both dictionaries and phonetic lists, clearly show how difficult the subject is.
And when he saw this class, Fred and George next to him shivered at the same time.
"Seriously, this class is the worst disaster I've ever experienced." Fred said with a sigh of relief.
"Even scarier than having lunch with a three-headed dog......"
Kyle casually drew a circle in front of the Ancient Runiwen, "So you're going to give up this class this year?" ”
"No, we just gave up the divination class."
For the Weasley Joke Shop. George said tragically.
"So what are you going to take for the second course?" Fred asked, "Protect magical creatures?" Or divination. ”
"I suggest you choose divination." George said seriously: "That class is really easy, and it's easy to get a high score, as long as you ...... Forehead ......"
At this time, George suddenly realized that Chris was also beside him, and quickly changed his words: "...... As long as you listen carefully in class, you can do it. ”
Chris shook his head a little amusedly.
Although Sybil Trelawney went to Hogwarts after he graduated, he had heard of the famous "liar professor".
And the newly graduated staff of the Ministry of Magic also mentioned her many times when they chatted.
...... "When will Trelawney be expelled" has always been one of the hot topics in the ministry.
Therefore, what exactly is going on in the divination class, Chris knows all too well.
But he didn't say anything, and continued to eat breakfast calmly.
On the other side, Fred and George were still enthusiastically coming up with ideas.
"It's not bad to protect magical creatures." George looked at Kyle and said, "This course should be easier for you than the divination class." ”
"That's true." Kyle nodded, and drew in front of the class as well.
Then there is divination...... Arithmetic divination...... Muggle Studies ......
Under the surprised gazes of Fred and George, Kyle marks all of his electives.
"Kyle, you're not going to learn from Percy and take all the classes."
George frowned, "Trust me, it's definitely not a good idea. ”
"You probably didn't know, Percy almost got driven crazy in third grade."
"He slept at home for three days during the Christmas holidays......"
"I haven't woken up in the middle......"
"Mom was so frightened that she almost sent him to St. Mungo!"
Even Chris, who was on the side, frowned:
"I wouldn't recommend you take so many classes, Kyle."
He said, "You already have the Order of Merlin, Second Class, and there is really no need to obsess over twelve certificates.
And...... Those who fool time will be fooled by time after all...... Do you understand what I mean? ”
"Of course, Dad."
Kyle folded the timetable and smiled, "Trust me, I can handle it." ”
"If you insist...... All right. Chris hesitated for a moment, but nodded.
Kyle then called Raton and sent the selection sheet back to Hogwarts.
Fred and George looked at each other, they had wanted to convince Kyle to take two less classes......
Percy, after all, is a prime example.
They didn't want to see Kyle look like he couldn't wake up all day.
But Raton flew so fast that he disappeared outside the house in the blink of an eye, and they didn't have time to react.
Now that the timetable has been sent back to Hogwarts, the two of them have to give up on the idea of continuing to persuade Kyle for the time being......
The two of them were going to write letters to the others, and then when they got on the train, they would join them in persuading.
Either way, Kyle must be made to change his mind before class!
