From Kamal Taj to Hogwarts

This year's Easter is on April 9, which happens to be three Sundays apart from Mother's Day in the United States.

Hogwarts will start its two-week holiday on April 2nd, and classes will not resume until April 16th.

Unlike Christmas, Easter is only more than a month away from the final exams in June, so most of the young wizards will not choose to go home for Easter, but stay at Hogwarts to prepare for the exams.

Although this kind of "preparation" usually just involves putting the book in front of you and dozing off...

Normally, on Easter Eve, the little wizard's family will send them Easter eggs from home. The students at Hogwarts give each other the eggs sent from home, which can be regarded as adding a bit of festival to the castle.

atmosphere of.

In addition to exchanging Easter eggs, the second-grade wizards like Xiwen also have another task, which is to choose their own elective courses to prepare for the next third grade.

Third-year students need to study seven compulsory courses: Transfiguration, Charms, Potions, History of Magic, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Astronomy and Herbology, as well as Divination, Arithmetic Divination, Ancient Runes, and Magical Beasts.

Take at least two elective courses from Conservation and Muggle Studies.

Therefore, the coursework of the third grade is more arduous than that of the second grade. Not only the courses are more difficult, but at least two new subjects are added in one go.

In the auditorium hall, Sivan, Abraxas, Mobley and Gomez were sitting together studying their elective course forms.

"Which course should Xiwen choose?" Abu asked, leaning his face closer and looking at Xiwen's form.

"Yes, yes, I will choose whichever course Xiwen chooses!" Mobley agreed. "This way, the homework for the elective courses will be settled."

Xiwen glanced at the two roommates who wanted to copy their homework with a dark look on his face, and silently turned his attention to Gomez.

"Where's Gomez? What class do you want to take?" Sivan asked.

"First of all, I will definitely not take Care of Magical Creatures. I heard that Professor Kettleburn almost burned down the auditorium at Christmas." Gomez said, crossing the form.

"Actually, Professor Kettleburn is quite nice..." Sivan put his hand on his forehead, thinking that although the professor was a little careless, he was still enthusiastic and knowledgeable overall. His course on the protection of magical creatures must be very interesting.

It's a pity that Professor Kettleburn took the blame for Riddle. There probably won't be too many students taking the Care of Magical Creatures course this time.

Sure enough, Abramovich and Mobley followed suit and also excluded the Care of Magical Creatures class.

Gomez thought for a moment, then ruled out the divination class.

"I heard that the divination class depends on talent. People without talent are likely to not learn anything in this class." He said.

Xiwen nodded and added: "However, this is also a course where it is easy to mix up credits. Professor Wabraski of the divination class may also take into account the emphasis on talent in this course, so little wizards without talent

As long as you attend class and submit your homework on time, you will receive a passing grade at the very least."

When Abramovich and Mobley heard the last sentence, they both quickly drew a circle after Divination on the elective course form.

"Why do you choose so easily? Don't you want to learn some new knowledge..." Xiwen said with a twitching corner of his mouth.

"I was thinking, what if I am the one-in-a-million divination genius?" Mobley said enthusiastically.

Abu seems to have the same idea, and the confidence in his eyes is almost overflowing!

Looking at the two people who did not believe in evil, Xiwen shook his head helplessly, and had no choice but to add to Gomez: "The Muggle Studies course can actually be excluded. I looked at the textbooks for this course, and I feel that if you want

To understand Muggle society, it is better to read a few realistic novels written by Muggles."

There is a saying that Xiwen even restrained his remarks about the Muggle Studies class. In his opinion, this Muggle Studies class is not studying Muggles, but rather belittling Muggles, with various wordings

They all emphasize the huge differences between Muggles and wizards, and there is even content involving the Muggle threat theory.

From this point of view, it is no wonder that Grindelwald has so many followers. It is very likely that many of them are wizards who have taken Muggle studies courses...

Gomez followed Sivan's suggestion and finally chose two elective courses: arithmetic divination and ancient runes.

On the other side, Abu and Mobley were still struggling with which of the two courses they should choose, besides the divination class, to pass the test more easily.

Seeing this, Xiwen rolled his eyes at the two of them and said, "Arithmetic divination and ancient runes are both courses that require a lot of mental use, so don't even think about being lazy."

"Then do you think it's easy to pass Muggle Studies?" Mobley sneaked up next to Sivan and asked.

However, his words were heard by Abu.

Abu shouted in disbelief: "What? As a pure-blood, you actually want to study Muggles?! Are you worthy of our pure-blood family!"

His indignant tone attracted the attention of many Slytherin compatriots, and the pure-blood wizards on the long table all looked at Mobley with evil intentions.

"Okay, okay, it's okay if I don't choose!" Mobley shuddered and immediately gave up.

"Why don't you choose Arithmetic Divination? This course can at least improve your mathematical ability a little bit, and it can be compared with the Divination class." Xiwen laughed, waved to the onlookers, and dismissed them.

Attention.

Then he said to Abu and Mobley: "As for the advanced content of ancient runes, it is very likely that the next five years of study will not be enough for you to lay a solid foundation. So, if you don't want to work hard after class, just

Don’t take this course.”

Abu and Mobley naturally did their best and drew a circle at the back of the arithmetic divination class.

"Xiwen, how come you know so much about these draft courses?" Abramovich felt a little discouraged.

He has always had good connections, so he felt that he should be the strongest among his roommates and even the entire grade in terms of his ability to inquire about information. However, this time, Xiwen uncharacteristically knew everything about the elective courses, which made him quite unhappy.

.

Xiwen smiled and said to him: "Well, I happened to be discussing some academic issues with Miranda a few days ago, so I asked her about elective courses."

"Oh, that's it." Abu's expression felt a little better and he nodded. "I also want to have a top student in Ravenclaw as my friend!"

"I think the prerequisite for this is that you must also become a top student first." Mobley ruthlessly exposed his wish.

Afterwards, Abramovich and Mobley started to fight.

Xiwen glanced at the two of them as usual and circled the courses he wanted to take on the elective course form.

At this time, Gomez seemed to suddenly think of a question, looked at Hope and asked: "Wait a minute, how does Prefect Gorshak of Ravenclaw know the specific conditions of each elective course?"

Hearing Gomez's question, Abramovich and Mobley stopped fighting and looked at Sivan curiously.

"Because, Miranda obtained the certificates of 12 ordinary wizard level examinations last year!"

Xiwen looked at his elective course form and chuckled.

Behind the five elective courses on the form, there are five circles, neatly arranged in a row!

This time I wrote it on Easter and calculated it again, only to find that the previous date of Mother’s Day was calculated incorrectly and has now been changed back.
