Just like the opposite of the atmosphere during the opening ceremony, the weather on the second day of Hogwarts was particularly good. The sky was high and the clouds were light. The clear and slightly cool weather made people feel very comfortable.
After the wizards in the cafeteria enjoyed their breakfast, they waited for their deans to come down from the teacher's table. Surprisingly, almost no one was discussing what happened last night. At least, no one was doing so in such a public place.
Today, the deans of the four academies still had to collect applications for the advanced classes from the sixth grade and above. They did not provide guidance services for them.
For the wizards in Allen's grade, it was more complicated than the previous years. The sixth grade was the sixth year for the young wizards and wizards to receive magic education in Hogwarts School of Magic. The sixth grade students were usually between sixteen and seventeen years old. Of course, some of them were older because they had to repeat the year.
The sixth grade was the first year of the course. If the results of a certain Ls exam met the minimum requirements of the teacher at that time, the student could continue to participate in the course. If the score did not meet the requirements, they could not directly participate in the course. They could only continue to study Ls until they passed the exam.
If the student was qualified to participate in a certain course, but did not think that he needed to obtain the certificate of the course, then he could choose not to continue to take the course because the content taught by the teacher in the course was very difficult, and there would be more homework after class.
On the long table in Ravenclaw, Hermione, who was eating breakfast next to Allen, sighed at the schedule of the advanced class. Allen was a little confused. Then, Luna also opened her eyes wide in horror. "Hermione, you want to sign up for all twelve courses again?!"
"Many people in the training class are planning to do so! Not only the wizards who got the twelve excellent certificates have signed up for all the courses, but also the wizards who achieved good grades have also signed up for all the courses they can. They also plan to sign up for your course, which is thirteen! I know I don't have time to do this, but I don't know how to choose! " Hermione leaned on the long table and messed up her hair, thinking about the courses she should choose. "I don't know how many people can successfully apply for the time travel … that necklace? I don't want to use it anymore! I was born in 79, so I'm almost a year older than you. Plus, I used it for the whole semester in the third grade … "
Allen was a little overwhelmed. He pressed Hermione's shoulder from behind so that she would not scratch her scalp. "Hermione, calm down. I don't plan to sign up for any advanced classes this semester. even if you don't join the advanced classes, you can still take all the exams in the seventh grade.... with our standards, we don't waste on 'time on these courses and completing homework........... of the Ministry of Magic's management of the time travel...............
. "Hermione was half-forced to nod in agreement. Then, she reluctantly thought of a reason." But Allen, you can teach in school if you don't sign up for any of the courses, but if I don't sign up for any of them, I'll get all the LS exam certificates, so I can't continue to study any of the LS courses … Then why did I come to school …? "
"Uh …" Allen was speechless for a moment. He had to give in and said, "You can choose three courses that you like. Also, remember to come to my class when it doesn't conflict with the advanced classes. In our free time, we have to complete our own practice. These are the important things …"
Hermione reluctantly nodded, but this request made her once again look at the class schedule in a daze.
"Arithmetic, divination, magic spells, magic potions." Luna's voice floated over.
"What?!" Hermione looked up in confusion.
"The three courses that came to your mind at the first moment." Luna tilted her head and stared with her bulging eyes. "It's just like tossing a coin when you're choosing between two. You don't have to look at it, your brain will give you the answer when you toss it out."
"Stop looking at my brain!" Hermione waved her hand that was holding the pen in annoyance.
"Besides, based on the time Allen spent behind the curtain last semester, theoretically, the age gap between you and him should be a little smaller." Luna did not respond to Hermione's protest at all. She continued to count with her fingers. "So, I'm two years younger than you guys."
Not knowing how to respond to the shameless Loynar Ravenclaw, Allen went silent for a while and changed the topic directly. He directly said to Miss Know-It-All who was also stunned and did not know how to respond, "Oh yeah, Hermione, when we're recruiting members for the training class this year, we can relax some of the restrictions. As long as you're willing to join and want to improve yourself, you can take in all of them. Of course, if you want to join our internal elite team, we'll have to tighten the screening and strengthen the assessment. "
Judging from the results of the past few years, the wizards who joined the training class were doing a lot better than those who didn't. It was just that the conditions for the selection were quite harsh, so there weren't many Hufflepuff students who made it into the training class. Allen had just recalled the favor he had received from Helga through Luna, so he decided that he could not be as arrogant as before in these matters.
Historically, during the selection of academies, many little wizards did not like being assigned to Hufflepuff. Although they had Cedric Diggory before, that was not enough to change the invisible discrimination that the wizards from the other three academies had. Many people and even some professors would think that the little badgers in Hufflepuff were not very smart for no reason. Of course, each academy would have its own label in the other three academies.
"Great, the training class is on the right track. This way, I can help even more … Oh! Professor Mag is coming down. I have to go back to Gryffindor's long table! " Hermione heard the movement behind her. She turned her head and saw that Professor Mag was already standing in the front row of Gryffindor's long table. She quickly stood up, picked up her books and the curriculum of the advanced class, and trotted back to the long table of her academy.
When Hermione returned to Gryffindor's long table, she realized that she did not have to be in such a hurry. Professor Mileva Mag was looking at the applications of the Gryffindor students one by one, checking their grades. She waited anxiously for a while before Professor Mag gradually came over.
At this time, Professor Mag was looking down at Neville's curriculum. Neville's round face was full of anxiety.
Mag adjusted her glasses on the bridge of her nose and stared at Neville through the square lenses. "Mr. Longbottom, your score in herbology is O (excellent). Very good. I'm sure Professor Sprout will be happy to see you back. Defense against black magic is also good enough. The problem is that your transformation class is only an A (pass). I'm sorry, Longbottom. I can't let you into my advanced class. "
Neville lowered his head and did not say anything.
"Why must you choose transformation class? I don't think you are very interested in transformation class. " Professor Mag's probing eyes made Neville lower his head even more. "And I suggest that if you really want to go to Mr. Allen Harris' ancient magic class, you must use the knowledge you learned in that class carefully. If there is an accident when using these spells, it will not be a small accident like the one you usually have."
"My grandma wants me to learn transformation magic," Neville mumbled. He did not want his grandmother who had raised him to be disappointed. "But it was my idea to go to the ancient magic class. I hope that I can become more useful."
"Oh, is it Augusta's idea?" Professor Mag did not try to say anything more about Neville's intention to go to ancient magic class. She glanced at Neville's report card again. "I see that your grade for magic spells class is not bad. It's an E (beyond expectations). Why don't you apply for advanced classes in magic spells class?"
"My grandma thinks that taking magic spells class is a way to save time," Neville mumbled.
"Take the magic spell class," Professor Mag said as he tapped a blank timetable with the tip of his magic wand. Then, he handed the timetable that was already filled with all the classes that he had to take this semester to Neville. "I'm going to write a letter to Augusta to remind her that she can't try to stop her grandson from improving just because she failed the magic spell class. Your grandmother should be proud of you, and not always think that you should be better than her."
Neville's round face turned red. He raised his head carefully and looked at the dean who was looking at him. He blinked his eyes in confusion. Professor Mag had never praised him before.
"Longbottom, I heard that you were facing Umrich. You are a Gryffindor." Professor Mag, who was already looking at the next application, noticed Neville's gaze. She then frowned and looked at the little wizard sitting next to Neville. Finally, she sighed and shook her head. "Mr. Flegg Brown, you only filled in Herbology and History of Magic … Well, you met the requirements for both subjects. However, I suggest that you continue to study Muggle Studies. This is a very easy subject for mixed-blood and Muggle wizards to get a certificate. Please don't give up. If you want to make a career in the wizarding world after graduation, having an additional certificate will be very helpful."
Flegg clenched his fists when he heard Professor Mag's words. In the end, he nodded helplessly. In fact, he didn't want to choose this subject on purpose. Compared to other people, Flegg's talent in magic could only be described as a dud. However, whether it was spells or potions, which only required the use of a wand to complete the key steps, it wasn't easy for Flegg. Even if he tried very hard to make sure that he didn't make any mistakes in the written test, he still wouldn't be able to meet the standards in practice to qualify for the advanced class.
Flegg put away the new timetable with Muggle Studies, and Mag began to quickly check Ron's timetable.
Professor Mag pursed her lips and shook her head with a serious expression. She didn't shake her head for the same reason as when she faced Flegg, but because she believed that if Ron had worked a little harder, he would've been able to pass the LS courses from passing to exceeding expectations. Then, she would've been able to make better arrangements for the advanced class. However, as she expected, Ron Weasley didn't choose Allen Harris' course.
Then, Mag's gaze swept over Ron and Harry, who had been fooling around under his nose while he was reading Ron's application, thinking that they wouldn't be discovered. "Potter." Professor Mag raised her voice. "Looks like you're going to make yourself very comfortable this semester. Did you forget that Professor Snape deducted 20 points yesterday because you didn't change your clothes? I've never seen so many points deducted at the beginning of a semester … "
"Professor, I've tried my best to choose the courses that don't conflict with each other's schedules." Knowing that he had been caught, Harry suppressed his anger toward Snape and hurriedly waved the application form in front of him, trying to divert Mag's attention.
Professor Mag glanced at it and felt a little regretful. Last year, due to Dumbledore's temporary absence and the pressure from Umrich, she had suggested that Harry go to Allen's ancient magic class. This obviously didn't go against Dumbledore's wishes, but now Harry had really done so. Mag, who couldn't say anything more, had to focus on Harry's other choices. Finally, she stretched out her finger and pointed at Harry's application form. "I think you'll probably consider taking the potions class. Don't tell me you don't want to be an Aura anymore? “
Of course I want to be an Aura. Professor, you see, I've tried my best to choose the courses recommended by Aura's office. Spells, herbs, transfiguration, and even the black magic defense taught by Professor Snape … But my grades in the potions class have to reach an O before I can go to the potions class. Professor … "
"It's true when Snape teaches the potions class, but Professor Slughorn is very willing to accept students with 'good' grades into the class. Are you willing to continue taking the potions class? "
"Great, of course I'm willing." Harry quickly nodded and said worriedly, "But I didn't buy the textbooks and materials for the potions class during the summer vacation …"
"You can use the owl to mail them. Also, I'm sure Professor Slughorn will be very willing to help you before the package is delivered …" Professor Mag said. "Very good, Potter. This is your class schedule."
"Miss Granger! I thought I was going to persuade the others in your training class to let you give up on applying for 12 classes at once … "Professor Mag, who had picked up Hermione's application form, was surprised." I even noticed that you only applied for three classes, and my transfiguration wasn't even included in them … "
"Professor, I …" Hermione was speechless for a moment. She had neglected the fact that she didn't apply for her own classes. She was a little upset. If she had noticed it earlier, she would have added the transfiguration spell …
"Don't worry, Miss Granger. Since you can already transform into a magic Animagus, I don't think anyone would let you fail the seventh-grade exam … I'm just a little regretful that I can't see you in my class anymore." Professor Mag looked rather regretful. Then, he looked at Hermione's application form. He knew that with her ability, she wouldn't be willing to waste any more time on the advanced classes. The headmistress of Gryffindor hesitated for a moment, and then asked Hermione tentatively in a less strict tone that was rarely used. "Oh, yes … Miss Granger, what I'm going to say next is not an order from the headmistress, but a personal request … In the current situation, if Mr. Allen Harris and Abusi can put aside their differences for the time being to ease their relationship and fight against the mysterious Death Eaters together, that would be a great thing for the entire magic world. I hope you can persuade Mr. Allen Harris in private, and I will also try my best to persuade Abusi …"
"Professor."
"Yes?"
"Not sir, it's Professor Harris."
