During the employment consultation last semester, Harry had told Professor Meg that he wanted to become an Auror.
He thought that it was a great occupation, and that he could fight against Dark Wizards.
Influenced by Sirius, Harry was also full of longing for this occupation.
However, after Elwyn told him about the future, he carefully considered whether he should become a professional Quidditch or Quidditch athlete, just like Wood and Krum. It sounded good. He liked flying and Quidditch, and he was very good at it. Elwyn also said that he would be a great success.
At one point, Harry was in a dilemma. He was not sure which to choose. Auror or Quidditch athlete?
Later, when he received his O.W. Ls results, he found out that his Potionology class did not reach "excellent" and did not meet the requirements of the Auror recruitment. He felt a little regretful. It seemed that he would not be able to become an Auror, but Professor Meg said that …
"My Potionology class O.W. Ls results are only 'good'. Professor, you told me that I have to achieve 'excellent'."
"When Professor Snape taught this class, Professor Slughorn was very willing to accept students with 'good' results in O.W. Ls into the advanced class. So, are you willing to join his class and continue learning Potionology? "
"Yes!" Harry said. "But I didn't buy textbooks or materials …"
"Don't worry, I believe Professor Slughorn can lend you some," Professor Meg said. "Very well, Potter, this is your class timetable. By the way, there are already 30 students who have signed up to join the Quidditch team. I will give you the list, and you can take some time to arrange for the qualifiers. "
After Harry, it was Ron's turn. Professor Meg carefully checked his application.
Ron's grades weren't too good. He received O.W. Ls certificates for most of his courses, but he passed almost all of them, just barely passing. He only received "good" grades for his courses on magical creature protection and potions.
To be honest, Ron's average performance was related to Hermione's time being taken up by Elwyn. He was not the kind of person who could study consciously. In this aspect, Ron was even inferior to Harry. Although Hermione had helped them formulate a revision plan, it was difficult for him to carry it out strictly without anyone watching over him.
Especially during the period when Hermione was away from school with Elwyn and Elaine, it was a very important revision period. As Harry could not participate in Quidditch training and did not have a girlfriend, he could only study alone in the library. On the other hand, Ron's learning progress was almost at a standstill. He had a lot of things to do. He had to participate in training, complete more and more homework, and spend a lot of time with Lavender. There was no one to supervise his studies …
When he was free, he would probably just want to sleep!
Therefore, his O.W. Ls results were not as good as Harry's. Needless to say, his results were worse than Harry's to begin with. He could pass most of his courses and get an O.W. Ls certificate. His results in Potionology and Guardian of Magical Creatures were also good, which meant that Hermione's revision plan had indeed worked.
If Ron's results were compared to Fred and George's, they could be said to be quite good, which made Lady Weasley very pleased.
She had been worried that he would be like the twins and only get two or three certificates.
But to be honest, there were not many choices if he wanted to continue studying N.E.W. Ts with his results. Most professors' N.E.W. Ts classes required their O.W. Ls results to be "good." For example, strict professors like Snape would require their students to achieve "excellent" before they could continue to enter his class.
Therefore, Ron chose carefully and only signed up for Conjuration, Transfiguration, and Potionology.
Among them, Potionology was taught by Professor Slughorn, and the other two were taught by other professors.
"Let me take a look at your class schedule!" Ron said as he took Harry's class schedule. "Our courses are similar, but Professor Meg and Professor Flitwick's requirements are stricter. I heard from Percy that the two of them give a lot of homework in N.E.W. Ts. Oh, you even chose Snape's Defense Against Dark Magic. That must be terrible. Luckily, I gave up on this course. "
"I also wanted to give up, or choose the Defense Against Dark Magic taught by other professors …" Harry said.
But that was not possible. Defense Against Dark Magic was the only course taught by only one professor. If he wanted to continue studying this course, he could only choose Snape. This was also the main reason why Snape did not raise the requirement to enter his class to "excellent." Otherwise, he would have done so.
"Look on the bright side, Harry. The sixth grade is really great. Our courses have been reduced by more than half." As he spoke, he raised his class schedule for Harry to see. "Look, we have no classes now, no classes after the break, no classes after lunch, and no classes before dinner. This is great!"
His words probably made Hermione very uncomfortable, but she did not say anything.
She just snorted loudly and dragged Elwyn to study the Ancient Magic Text.
On the way, Hermione kept saying that Ron's choice was self-deprecating, and that he should study more in school.
But that was the atmosphere in Hogwarts. After entering the sixth grade, the school's management of the students began to become lax. They were inclined to let the students develop freely and study the courses that they were interested in.
Because the difficulty of the N.E.W. Ts courses would be greatly increased, most students would not choose too many courses. There was no limit to any magic, and it was almost impossible to master all of them. After learning the knowledge in the textbook, one could still choose another direction to research and explore.
If it were not for the specific requirements for the N.E.W. Ts certificate in employment, many people might not even continue to study.
In the world of magic, most wizards were at the level of O.W. Ls, which was the level of an ordinary wizard.
They would only reach the level of an advanced wizard in one or two spells that they were interested in.
In the school, there were very few people like Elwyn and Hermione who chose so many courses.
It was actually normal for people like Ron to be like this.
But there was a problem. If they did not put their studies on their mind, they would have a lot of time to play. In the last two years of the school, Fred and George were in a similar state. They only signed up for one Magic Incantation class and spent the rest of the time doing their own things and researching those funny products.
Even so, they were not confident that they could get the N.E.W. Ts certificate for Magic Incantation …
As expected, the new semester's Ancient Magic Text class was much more difficult than the previous ones. They had to learn a language created by the ancient fairies. It was said that it was still used in Gringotts, so it was necessary to learn it. This was a very unpopular Ancient Magic Text. It was very difficult, and Elwyn had never come into contact with it before.
