With that, Lockhart walked away, looking for Harry.

As soon as he left, Professor McGonagall immediately looked at Kyle.

"Don't hit that tree, if you still want to live well, stay away from it, there is still ......"

She pursed her lips and continued, "You have a lot of lessons to study this year, and I suggest you read more useful books, such as ...... It has to do with the magic text. ”

"Okay, Professor." Kyle said.

In fact, he hadn't read the book "Wandering with Werewolves" at all, and he just said it casually just now, but he didn't expect Lockhart not only didn't refute it, but also added ten points to him.

This is a real bonus.

Professor McGonagall nodded.

"Now let's talk about you."

Sprout said, "Unfortunately, Kyle, your application for a time turnaround didn't work out, so you may have to reselect your schedule." ”

"Didn't work out?" Kyle was stunned for a moment, "But Percy was ...... before"

"This time it's different."

Professor Sprout shook his head and said, "All the time turners are kept in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic, but they are now so tightly sealed that letters can't be sent in. ”

"Just yesterday, we tried to get Professor Dumbledore ......to intervene," Professor McGonagall said, "but he also came to nato." ”

"Even Headmaster Dumbledore can't get in?" Kyle was surprised.

"No, he's gone to the Department of Mysteries." Professor McGonagall gave Kyle a meaningful look, "But someone rejected the request, on the grounds that all the time turners were useful, and there was nothing extra for the young wizard to use for the time being. ”

"Uh...... Nothing superfluous? Kyle was a little confused.

"Yes, so you'd better choose a new class."

Professor Sprout pulled out a new timetable that had been stained with a bit of mud and handed it to Kyle, "Hurry up, don't delay class." ”

Kyle took the timetable, thought for a moment, and said, "Professor, I'd still like to choose both." ”

"But the time-turner......" Professor Sprout frowned.

"It's okay." Kyle hurriedly said, "I want a spot on the exam, so as long as you agree, I only need to take one of them in case of class conflicts." ”

"Huh?"

Professor Sprout had been at Hogwarts for decades, and it was the first time he had heard such an outrageous request.

She subconsciously looked to the side and noticed that Professor McGonagall was also frowning.

The two had a quick discussion......

"Are you sure? Kyle. ”

Professor McGonagall said earnestly, "You have to understand that all 10 courses are "O's", which is not the same as 10 "O's" in 12 courses. ”

"I know." Kyle nodded.

"Okay then." "If you insist, as I would say to the other professors, you can choose the courses you want to take." ”

"But ......," Professor McGonagall cautioned, "is limited to six electives. ”

"Of course...... Kyle smiled, "I'm not going to miss a class on transfiguration and herbs." ”

Professor McGonagall smiled rarely.

Professor Sprout also forgot about the unpleasantness caused by Lockhart before, and smiled and gave Kyle a branch of the beating willow.

Although the branches of the beating willow are not as important as the roots, they are also a very rare potion material, and they are expensive.

The one given by Professor Sprout could be exchanged for at least twenty Galleons if it were taken to the shop in Diagon Alley.

Moreover, there is only Hogwarts as a beating willow in the entire British wizarding world, and if Harry and Ron really make some mistakes, the loss will be too great.

After discussing the course selection, the two professors left separately.

Kyle didn't go back to the castle with Professor McGonagall this time, but walked towards the Forbidden Forest, which was not far away.

I didn't get a time converter, but this result was not bad.

Like now...... He can choose to protect magical creatures, or he can learn arithmetic divination...... Or, neither.

The professors don't think there's anything wrong with it, and he can use the time to do something else.

Of course, it is not so easy to get Professor McGonagall to agree to such a request, and it is even harder to say than to apply for a time converter.

In addition to the fact that the Department of Mysteries just rejected the application, Kyle's report cards with perfect scores in the first two years also played a big role.

Otherwise...... Skipping class? Don't even think about it!

It's just that the first class is definitely going to go.

Kyle walked across the field towards the Forbidden Forest, where he saw Lockhart talking to Harry.

Because of the distance, Kyle didn't hear what the two were saying, but judging by Harry's expression, he probably didn't really want to talk to Lockhart.

Professor Kettleburn's Conservation of Magical Creatures class was on the other side of the Forbidden Forest, closer to the Quidditch pitch.

He carved out a large open space there for the students to teach.

Connor took the class as well, and she was already there when Kyle arrived.

"Professor Sprout is looking for something about you?" "Need help?" she asked. ”

"No, it's just that there is something wrong with my class schedule and it has been solved."

Kyle didn't hide it either, and told her about his failure to apply for a time turner, including his later solution.

Although Professor McGonagall told him to keep it a secret, how could Hogwarts keep it secret...... It's common sense.

"Are you going to take twelve courses?" Connor was a little surprised, "You already have the Order of the Order of Merlin, do you still need those certificates?" ”

"Idle is idle, anyway, it's not that difficult, just take the test and play." Kyle said as a matter of course, "The main thing is that you can skip class openly, how nice." ”

"So, being able to skip class is the key!" Connor stared at him.

Kyle shrugged, noncommittal.

Really!

Connor rolled her eyes, and she asked again.

As the two spoke, Professor Kettleburn walked over from the Forbidden Forest.

He seemed to be injured again, disgraced, and his previous prosthetic leg was gone, replaced by an ordinary wooden stick, which should have been a substitute casually picked up from the Forbidden Forest.

This also caused him to walk with a limp.

Many of the students who met the professor for the first time were terrified.

Is it so dangerous to protect magical creatures class?

Some people began to retreat, hesitating that it was too late to change classes.

Faced with the different expressions of the little wizards, Professor Kettleburn didn't care.

It happened every year, and he was used to it.

And, since being hit by a unicorn, he's thought about retiring, and this year is probably his last year at Hogwarts.

Professor Kettleburn found Kyle in the crowd and nodded in satisfaction.

"In the first class, let's learn to protect the tree!"

Professor Kettleburn opened the pocket of his coat, and five or six creatures emerged from it, like plant shoots.

"Does anyone know about it?"

Kyle raised his hand:

"The Tree Keeper is a mild-mannered magical creature that lives on the Yamanashi tree or other tall trees. But if someone tries to destroy those trees, they will attack them as well.

Unless you're carrying their favorite turtle. ”

"Exactly, Hufflepuff Plus ten!"

Kettleburn said with a smile: "The turtles are in the box next to them, each takes a small bag, and then they all get closer to some ......"
