Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard

A week after returning from Paris, one fine morning, Kyle finally received the letter from Hogwarts.

That day he went downstairs for breakfast as usual and found Fred and George already waiting for him in the living room.

After hiding for more than a month, they now wanted to spend the whole day in Kyle's attic, studying those "quick-act skipping candies."

Chris didn't think it was noisy.

In fact, he welcomed Fred and George very much...it was quite nice to be bustling early in the morning.

"A letter from school?" Kyle picked up a yellow parchment envelope from the table with green words on it.

"That's right, it just arrived a few minutes ago," Chris said.

"Five minutes," Fred said.

"We happened to encounter an owl when we were going out..."

"Kyle, take a look, you'll be surprised."

Kyle said nothing and read the letter carefully.

In addition to asking him to take the Hogwarts Express from King's Cross station to school on September 1st, the letter also listed a list of new books he would need this year.

Third grade students will read:

Intermediate Transfiguration, by Emery Switch.

Standard Spells: Level Three, by Miranda Gorshak.

"Breaking with the Ghost" by Gilderoy Lockhart.

"Walking with Ghouls" by Gilderoy Lockhart.

"Holiday with a Dominatrix"...

…

The following seven books are all works by Gilderoy Lockhart.

Although he had known this would be the case, after seeing this exaggerated book list, Kyle couldn't help but rub his forehead.

Gilderoy Lockhart's books are not cheap. They cost basically five galleons each. Each of them needs to sell seven copies, which is thirty-five galleons.

This is not a small sum, it is almost half a month's salary of Mr. Weasley.

And this is just the cost of one person. Even if only half of the people in Hogwarts buy new books, Lockhart can easily earn tens of thousands of galleons.

The accumulation of the Potter family's hard work over generations may not be as much as what he earned this time.

No wonder Lockhart took this job... Even the infamous Defense Against the Dark Arts professor didn't seem so scary in front of tens of thousands of galleons.

In front of Jin Gallon...curse? Oh, it’s just a mythical legend!

After reading the book list, Kyle pulled out a second piece of parchment from the envelope.

"Why do you have one more card than us..."

Fred was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said: "Oh, I almost forgot, you are in the third grade and need to choose courses."

Kyle looked at the parchment.

Selected courses for third grade:

(Choose at least two courses and purchase the required textbooks before the start of the semester.)

Arithmetic Divination, "Numerical Divination and Graphics", by L. Wakefield, M. Carneiro.

Divination, "Seeing Through the Mists and Seeing the Future," by Cassandra Wabraski.

Protecting Magical Creatures, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, by Newt Scamander.

Muggle Studies, "Life and Habits of Muggle Households in Britain"...

And the last one, ancient runes.

"A Simple Introduction to Ancient Runes"

Rune Dictionary

"Detailed Explanation of Rune Symbols"

"Magic Symbol Collection"

"Magic Phonetic Chart"

Five books, including dictionaries and phonetic tables, clearly show how difficult this course is.

And when they saw this course, Fred and George next to them shivered at the same time.

"To be honest, this course is the most terrible disaster I have ever experienced." Fred said with lingering fear.

new

"Even scarier than lunch with a three-headed dog..."

Kyle casually drew a circle in front of the ancient runes, "So you guys are going to give up on this course this year?"

"No, we just gave up the divination class."

"For the Weasley Joke Shop," George said sadly.

"So what are you going to choose for the second course?" Fred asked, "Care of Magical Creatures? Or Divination."

"I suggest you choose divination." George said seriously: "That class is really easy, and it is also very simple to get high scores, as long as you... um..."

At this time, George suddenly realized that Chris was also there, and quickly changed his words: "...as long as you listen carefully in class."

Chris shook his head in amusement.

Although Sybill Trelawney went to Hogwarts after he graduated, he had still heard of the famous "Liar Professor".

Moreover, the newly graduated staff in the Ministry of Magic also mentioned her many times when chatting.

..."When will Trelawney be expelled?" has always been one of the hot topics in the ministry.

Therefore, Chris knew very well what the divination class was like.

But he didn't say anything and continued to eat breakfast calmly.

On the other side, Fred and George were still enthusiastically coming up with ideas.

"Protecting magical creatures is not bad either." George looked at Kyle and said, "For you, this course should be easier than the divination course."

"Indeed." Kyle nodded and also drew a picture in front of this class.

And then there's Divination... Arithmancy... Muggle Studies...

As Fred and George watched in surprise, Kyle marked all of his electives.

"Kyle, you don't want to imitate Percy and take all the classes."

George frowned and said, "Believe me, this is definitely not a good idea."

"What you may not know is that Percy was nearly driven crazy in third grade."

"He slept at home for three days during the Christmas vacation..."

"I never woke up in the middle..."

"Mum was so frightened she almost sent him to St. Mungo's!"

Even Chris on the side frowned:

"I also don't recommend taking so many courses, Kyle."

He said: "You already have the Second Class Medal of Sir Merlin, there is really no need to be obsessed with twelve certificates.

And... those who fool time will eventually be fooled by time... Do you understand what I mean? "

"Of course, Dad."

Kyle folded up his course schedule and said with a smile, "Believe me, I can handle it."

"If you insist... okay." Chris hesitated for a moment, but nodded.

Afterwards, Kyle called Raton and sent the course selection list back to Hogwarts.

Fred and George looked at each other in confusion. They originally wanted to persuade Kyle to take two fewer courses...

After all, Percy is the perfect example.

They didn't want to see Kyle look like he couldn't wake up all day long, listless.

But Laton flew so fast and disappeared outside the house in almost the blink of an eye. They had no time to react.

Now that the class schedule has been sent back to Hogwarts, the two of them can only give up the idea of ​​persuading Kyle for the time being...

The two planned to write letters to others, and then waited with them on the train to persuade them.

Anyway, Kyle had to change his mind before class!
