Previously, Professor Grapeland was in charge of the Biology of Conservation class for the upper grades.
She was the witch who took over Hagrid's class when he was not around.
After Professor Kettleburn retired, she and Hagrid were the only two professors left in Hogwarts for the Biology of Conservation class. She was in charge of the upper grades, and Hagrid was in charge of the lower grades. However, this year, she was willing to give up a part of the N.E.W.TS class to Hagrid, and the students could freely choose which teacher's Biology of Conservation class to attend.
It could be seen that Hagrid was very happy to accept this new challenge.
The O.W.LS score he asked for was slightly lower than Professor Grapeland's, and as long as they passed, they could enter his N.E.W.TS class.
However, the reality was that it was not a matter of the score at all. The students had endured for a long time, and now that they finally had the chance to choose a new course, they would naturally give up on Hagrid's Biology of Conservation class without hesitation, and stay far away from him and his dangerous animals.
The students who were willing to take this course would probably still choose Professor Grapeland.
Even if the score was not enough, they would not choose Hagrid.
However, looking at Hagrid's expression, it seemed that he firmly believed that Elwyn, Harry, Hermione, and Ron would choose him.
"Oh, Hagrid!" Seeing him waving, Hermione looked very distressed, "He can't really think that we will still go to the Biology of Conservation class, I mean, actually, none of us showed any enthusiasm!"
"It's like this, because we like Hagrid, so we are the most diligent in his class, but he still thinks that we like that stupid subject. Who do you think will go to his advanced class?" Ron said.
"I just think that Hagrid's class is very interesting," Elaine said, watching Ron swallow an egg in one bite.
"In a sense, his class is very interesting, but it is not suitable for us wizards who are not that passionate about dangerous magical creatures." Elwyn found a relatively specific definition. He originally wanted to describe it as a normal person, but he felt that this description was somewhat inappropriate.
"Sigh, perhaps he can only hope that we will choose his class." Harry sighed. Avoiding Hagrid's gaze, he waved at him perfunctorily. "We've failed to live up to his trust. The course selection hasn't started yet. Maybe we should consider adding Hagrid's Biology of Protection."
"Please don't!"
"Don't feel pressured, bro. What we're doing isn't betrayal. If we chose Professor Grapeland's class instead of Hagrid's, that would be betrayal," Ron said. "What we're doing now is giving up."
They hadn't betrayed Hagrid, but they had given up on the course.
Thinking about it in this way was more or less comforting.
After breakfast, the students of the other grades left for their classes.
The sixth-graders stayed behind and waited for Professor Meg to come down from the staff table to start the course selection.
Professor Meg had a thick stack of course schedules in her hands, which detailed the professors and required grades for each course.
She confirmed the students' applications one by one, deleted the extra courses with her wand, and created a new schedule.
This was a very tedious work, and the confirmation was very slow.
She had to make sure that every student's O.W.LS grade met the requirements of the professors they applied for, so that they could continue to study the N.E.W.TS advanced class.
Because they had studied it carefully many times, Elwyn and Hermione's courses were decided almost immediately.
Both of them had to continue learning spells, black magic defense, transfiguration, herbology, ancient magic language, and potions. They gave up the history of magic, the protection of magical creatures, astronomy, divination, and Muggle research. They also did not choose alchemy, which was added to the advanced class. Hermione also chose arithmetic divination.
"Giving up the protection of magical creatures, astronomy, divination, that's not a problem, and alchemy is not a problem either. But aren't you going to choose the history of magic?" Professor Meg asked, looking at their applications.
"That's right, Professor."
"We gave up the history of magic. This knowledge is enough for now," Elwyn said.
"Okay, but I have to say that you two are the only two students who got excellent grades in the history of magic this year, especially Hermione. You scored very high in the history of magic. It would be a pity if you gave up. Professor Benz specifically mentioned you to me. This is the first time this has happened since I've known him."
Elwyn and Hermione looked at each other. It was obvious that she was struggling again.
Other than divination, she did not want to give up on anything else. She was going to tire herself to death …
"That's the choice, Professor. We hope to have more personal time this semester," Elwyn said.
Choosing the history of magic meant that they would need to spend a lot of time in the library looking for all kinds of boring historical materials.
They didn't want to use the time converter to do that anymore. The higher grade magic history course would involve a lot of foreign magic history, which was almost useless, unless they planned to become a magic historian or an explorer, or a spell dispeller for Gringotts after graduation.
He and Hermione did not plan to develop in this direction, so they did not need to study the history of magic.
If they were really interested in the magic history of a certain country, it would not be too late to understand it later.
Elwyn and Hermione were very fast. They only struggled for a bit on the history of magic. Others, such as Neville, had more trouble. Professor Meg looked down at his application while checking his O.W. Ls results. Neville's round face was full of anxiety.
"Your herbology is very good," she said. She said, "O.W. Ls' result is' Excellent ', Mrs. Sprout will be very happy to see you go back, and your result in Defense Against Dark Magic is' Good ', so you are qualified to continue taking Professor Snape's courses. The problem is the Transfiguration class. I'm sorry, Longbottom, the 'pass' result is not good enough to continue my Transfiguration N.E.W. Ts class. I'm worried that you might not be able to keep up, so I don't recommend you to take it. "
"Is there any other choice? Other professors can also … "
Neville lowered his head. Professor Meg looked at him through his square glasses.
"Yes, you can take other professors' Transfiguration classes, but based on my teaching experience, you probably won't get the Transfiguration N.E.W. Ts certificate in two years. It's just a waste of time. I don't understand, why do you have to continue taking Transfiguration classes? I don't think you like it very much. "
Hearing Professor Meg's words, Neville looked very sad.
He mumbled something that sounded like "My grandmother wanted me to learn it."
"Oh!" Professor Meg snorted. "I understand. I'm not criticizing Augusta's education methods, but when will she understand that she should be proud of her grandson, and not always think that her grandson should be better. I'm sorry, Longbottom, I can't let you enter my advanced class. You can choose other professors, but I don't recommend you to do so. In fact, I saw that you gave up Charms, but your results in Charms class are 'good'. Why don't you apply for Professor Flitwick's advanced Charms class? "
"My grandmother thinks that choosing Charms class is to save time." Neville mumbled.
"Let's choose Charms class." Professor Meg finally said, "I want to write a letter to Augusta to remind her that she can't think that Charms class is not worth learning just because she failed the N.E.W. Ls exam."
Seeing Neville's face filled with disbelief and joy, Professor Meg used the tip of his wand to knock on a blank timetable, then passed it to Neville. The timetable had already been filled in with the classes he would be taking this semester.
Then, Professor Meg turned to Parvati Petier.
Petier's first question was whether the beautiful centaur Firenze would still be teaching Divination this year.
"He and Professor Trelawney will be sharing the Divination class this year." Professor Meg's tone revealed a hint of displeasure. Everyone knew that she had always looked down on Divination classes. "He's in charge of the lower grades' classes. Professor Trelawney will be teaching the sixth and seventh grade Divination classes."
Parvati's face was clearly filled with disappointment. He dejectedly chose the Divination class.
Lavender was similar to her, also choosing Divination, but she seemed to be more supportive of Professor Trelawney.
