The N.E.W.TS course was already so difficult for Elwyn, not to mention the other students who had just entered the sixth grade.
Anyway, at the beginning of the new semester, life gradually settled into a new normal. Instead of relaxing and resting as much as they had expected at the beginning of the semester, they had to work hard to complete the large amount of homework assigned by the teacher. Almost every day, they had to study as hard as they did for the O.W.LS exam. It was terrible.
What was terrible was not the increasing amount of homework and the invisible pressure, but the fact that many people could not even understand the teacher's lessons.
Take the Transfiguration class for example. One morning in the second week of the semester, Ron complained that he did not understand what his new Transfiguration professor was talking about in class. He did not get into Professor Meg's N.E.W.TS advanced class. Instead, he got into the class of another male professor in the school. In his words, the professor's teaching skills were terrible. He only knew how to repeat the abstruse knowledge from the book without explaining it, and then gave them impossible homework.
"You know what?" He said. "I'm starting to miss Professor Meg's Transfiguration. Although Professor Meg is strict, she always explains the knowledge clearly and doesn't give too much homework. I really should have studied Transfiguration last semester..."
"It's not too late for you to study now!" Hermione's voice came from the back of the thick magic book.
"No, I'm going to give up the Transfiguration class completely!" Ron said immediately. "I've asked around. Every year, the students who successfully get the Transfiguration N.E.W.TS certificate are all from Professor Meg's advanced class, and only about half of them. You guys have to work hard."
"I might be the half who didn't pass the exam." Harry sighed. "I don't understand more than half of what Professor Meg teaches these days, and I don't know how to write the homework she assigned. It's due this Friday. Elwyn, have you finished it? "
"Not yet, I've been working on something else recently," Elwyn said, and pouted at Hermione, signaling Harry to borrow it from her.
He had seen Hermione's thesis on Transfiguration last night. The N.E.W.TS course was really difficult. Even Hermione had to ask Professor Meg to repeat the content once or twice, and then study it repeatedly or discuss it with him after class.
It sounded a bit unbelievable. This semester had just begun, but the atmosphere was already a bit like the last semester.
But that was the reality. Although everyone was mentally prepared, the actual difficulty of N.E.W.TS was still beyond most people's imagination. After the O.W. Ls exam, the curriculum at Hogwarts had passed the basic education stage. Unlike before, where students had to memorize textbooks or wave their wands, many courses had begun to focus on students' independent research. As the content deepened and the aptitude of each student was different, the role of the professors would be less and less helpful.
In the face of learning difficulties, Hermione always fought bravely.
In this kind of thing, Hermione was very "Hermione". She had not changed at all.
Under Elwyn's signal, Harry looked at Hermione, who had buried herself behind the magic book. He hesitated for a long time but did not open his mouth.
He felt that Hermione would not lend him her homework. There was no chance at all. It was not wise to provoke Hermione at this time.
With the help of the Half-Blood Prince, Harry's best subject suddenly became Potionology. He finished the potions faster than Elwyn and Hermione in class. This made Hermione feel more and more indignant, and the relationship between her and Harry became very tense.
At least that was what Harry thought. Hermione did not give up on persuading him to hand in the Potionology textbook.
If he did not hand in the textbook, his relationship with Hermione would continue to be tense.
Therefore, the possibility of him borrowing Hermione's homework for reference seemed to be zero.
"Elwyn, Elaine and I are going to the library tonight. You can come too if you have time." Hermione suddenly said. She seemed to have sensed what Harry was thinking. Her eyes were still on the magic book. "I think there are a few books and some materials that can help you with Transfiguration. After you finish reading them, you will know how to finish the Transfiguration homework that you have to hand in on Friday!"
"Thank you, Hermione. You are too kind!" Harry said happily. He knew that when Hermione said this, it meant that he would be able to read her homework after he finished reading the materials she recommended.
"If it wasn't for you and Elwyn's help, Harry and I would have been done for!" Ron followed up. "But I'm still going to give up on Transfiguration. I won't go to the library tonight. I promised Lavender that I would stay in the common room to accompany her."
"I'm not going either. I have an appointment with Ginny..." Elaine interrupted. These days, Hermione had been supervising her study, which made Elaine very uncomfortable. However, she could not say anything because her foundation was really poor. The vampire magic education was very different from the traditional wizard education in Hogwarts.
"You must go to the library!" Hermione looked away from the book for the first time and looked at Elaine. "There is not much time before the exam. You haven't even finished reading half of the materials. You even asked me and Elwyn to watch you study..."
"Yes, you must go. There is no room for discussion!" Elwyn nodded. This girl only wanted to play and wandered around the castle.
"But Ginny..."
"I will talk to Ginny. She must not have started studying yet. From now on, she will go to the library with us every night."
"And Corin. That guy asked me to help him study the day before yesterday. Bring him along," said Elwyn.
Under the gaze of Elwyn and Hermione, Elaine nodded reluctantly.
Then, when they were not paying attention, she made a face again.
"Studying" was becoming the norm in Elwyn's circle. Since they were talking about studying, it had to be said that when it came to studying, the Time Converter and Ravenclaw's Coronet were really divine tools. When these two divine tools were used together with the Stamina Potion, Elwyn felt that he could study endlessly.
Because of the special Time Converter in his hand, his actual age did not really increase in the process. Time was in a constant state of increasing and decreasing. The final result was probably like this. As for the principle behind this, it was extremely difficult to understand time magic. Most people would not understand it...
Elwyn did not understand it either, but he did not have to worry about his life being consumed in the process. It was enough to know this!
What needed to be noted was that while everyone began to study harder than before, an inexplicable anxiety was spreading.
