Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue

"But...why did the Ministry of Magic interfere with Hogwarts?" Hannah asked in a daze. "I mean, why did Hogwarts negotiate with the Ministry? The new curriculum standard teaching plan is not about the Ministry of Magic and the school. Is it a joint advancement?"

Before Hermione could answer, a tall boy with a straight nose and a handsome man strode up to them.

"Good morning, Said."

"Good morning, Miss Kaslana."

Cedric sighed helplessly and said bitterly.

"Oh, please, can you stop calling this. Call me Diggory, Cedric can..."

Since my father called out his nickname several times last night at the fraternity party, everyone in the college is now learning from Mr. Diggory and calling him Said. In fact, it's not just the college, after all, it wasn't just the little wizards of Hufflepuff who attended the networking party last night.

Joking is a factor, and more importantly, compared to the name Cedric, "Said" is indeed more fluent.

"Okay, Said. No problem."

Elena said, squinting her eyes happily.

Before Cedric could answer, she continued to ask: "What's the matter, what's the matter? Mr. Prefect."

She noticed that Cedric was holding a stack of parchment forms in his hands.

"Ah, yes, this is the new class schedule supplementary report. The professors said that the lower grades can now choose several interesting third-grade electives. This is the third-grade elective. You can choose some of the usual gaps. Time-for example, the second big class every afternoon. Evening self-study time and White Sky spare time can also be selected. Once selected, you can't miss class. The professors will synchronize the list of courses...

After a short pause for a few seconds, Cedric looked at Ginny and Hermione who were eating melons nearby.

"No, the forms for the two of you are here too. Weasley asked me to bring your forms together just now."

Eh? ! They actually have it too? !

Ginny was stunned, and suddenly turned her head and looked in the direction of the long table of Gryffindor Academy.

She happened to meet Percy’s gaze. Although she couldn’t hear what Percy was yelling, from the gestures of her old brother, it was evidently corroborating what Cedric said just now: the pile of elective schedules was indeed still With her and Hermione's share.

"OK, thanks--"

Ginny reluctantly accepted a parchment form.

Cedric smiled at them and walked away.

"I thought I could get away with it," Ginny sat down beside Hermione, dragged a plate of blueberry jam toast in front of her, and said dejectedly, "If Percy counts, then I have to choose at least one course... …Otherwise he will probably tell his mother. There shouldn’t be many courses to choose from, right?"

"That's not necessarily true," Elena said casually, cutting the bacon slices. "I guess at least half of the lower grades will choose courses.

The opening hours of the entrance to the lower grades will last for a full week, and theoretically it can cover all the lower grades.

However, most courses have a maximum number of people. If the start is slow, you may have to wait for the next semester-rush elective courses are fun under a mature teaching system. If Hogwarts lacks this link, it would be a shame A little bit.

"Who would dislike having too much rest time?" Ginny said.

"That depends on the revenue ratio—"

Elena expertly cut a roasted sizzling smoked sausage into four sections and placed them on the plates of the surrounding little witches in turn.

"Do you want to have a magical creature as a pet? Ginny. More details are not available for the time being, but I suggest that everyone can take magical zoology as an elective course. The number of places in this semester is quite precious. If you miss it, you will definitely regret it. ."

"Fantastic Zoology? Huh?"

Hermione subconsciously glanced at the timetable in her hand and let out a somewhat confused nose.

Only then did she notice that in the elective list filled with the elective courses for third-grade students, there was no Hogwarts regular elective course called "Fantastic Animal Conservation Course". Instead, there was a regular elective course called "Fantastic Beast Conservation". An unfamiliar course in "Fantastic Zoology".

At the same time, there are some subtle differences in the column of teaching professors.

Newt Scamander's name was moved to the top of Professor Byrne and Professor Glanlap, and they were lined up separately at the end.

This situation of multiple professors in one course has also appeared in other courses. For example, the potions class is such a writing arrangement.

If she remembers correctly, this seems to be called a formal teaching group?

However, before this, the formal teaching group has always been a new teaching system that is only available for compulsory courses.

Hogwarts compulsory courses should be oriented to seven grades (plus the'Master of Magic' enrolling class' is eight). The multi-faculty system can liberate the teaching pressure of a single professor, so as to better complete the teaching goals and respond flexibly to possible emergencies. Emergency teaching accident.

So, and so on...

Hermione nodded thoughtfully at the parchment class schedule in her hand, and looked at Elena curiously.

"Elena, shouldn't the Fantastic Beasts Society become..."

Suddenly, swish, swish, click. Hundreds of owls flew in from the high arch windows of the auditorium, and they fell everywhere in the auditorium, bringing letters and packages to their owners, and at the same time splashing drops of water on the heads of those who had breakfast.

It is obvious that it is raining heavily outside.

The round-faced fat chickens fluttered their wings on the dining table, and the rain splashed all over the dining table.

Ginny didn’t care about eavesdropping, and quickly stuffed the section of grilled sausage on the plate into her mouth, hurriedly moving orange juice, fried eggs, bacon, and bread slices in front of her, leaning in a half skillfully. Be prepared to protect the safety of those delicious breakfasts in front of you.

Protecting food, this can be said to be the first survival compulsory lesson that most people learn at Hogwarts.

However, in the next second, she stopped the activation of this "food protection" skill.

Because she was surprised to find that unlike other students in the auditorium, whether it was Elena, Hanna, or Hermione, they didn’t seem to care about the flock of owls flying in the sky above the auditorium. After eating breakfast, while studying the subjects on the selection schedule, the tranquil atmosphere seemed to be in another world in the chaotic auditorium.

The area about three or four meters with Elena as the center seems to form an invisible cylindrical air barrier.

When the owl flocks approached this area, they hovered far and away by coincidence—this is...

"Elena Kaslana's forbidden airspace."

Such a strange word suddenly appeared in Ginny's mind.

Before, she seemed to listen to George or a senior student at Gryffindor College talking about this, but at the time she listened to it more as a campus talk. After all, Elena's dominance on Quidditch was also deserving. Given this description, who knows that it is actually true?

However, in this way, what if someone wants to send a letter to Sister Elena——

Ginny raised her head and looked towards the sky with some curiosity. She noticed several owls hovering around the "Forbidden Air Field".

As if to answer her doubts, the next moment Ginny heard a familiar cooing sound.

I saw the little owl called "reserve food" drilled out of Elena's chest, flapped its wings like a sharp arrow and rushed into the sky, grabbing the package from the owls hovering around the "forbidden air field". Down, threw it happily on Elena's knee.

"Thank you, reserve food. You have worked hard—"

Elena touched the Lingyu of the grain reserve, broke a small piece of toast and fed it.

Although the size of the food reserve is small, it is obviously much higher than other round-faced fat chickens in terms of speed, strength, and intelligence.

"This, this is..."

Ginny looked at the sky back and forth with some confusion, and then at the parcels that had been snatched from the food reserve.

When playing Werewolf together last night, she thought it was this little guy who was easy to be bullied, so Elena kept it in the bedroom and carried it with her, but after witnessing the series of robberies just now, she Only then did I understand what the sophomore sisters meant yesterday.

Based on the combat power just shown by this small reserve, even the seven Errols together might not be its opponent, right?

"Oh, it is only responsible for helping me get the letter, which is normal in the non-magical world."

Elena shrugged and replied casually, "Many family pet cats, pet dogs, and pet owls will help to get letters. Of course it is the same in the magic world. It is just a regular mail delivery. Don't make a fuss. I can also raise one later."

"But, they seem to be very pitiful..."

Ginny blinked, pointed to the other side of the seat, and whispered carefully.

Not far away, the fat chickens whose letters had been snatched squatted on the ground timidly, looking at Elena pitifully.

Gu Gu Gu Gu-

Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu-

"Obviously, you forgot to pay again? Elena."

Hermione said solemnly, looking condemningly at Elena who was eating chicken legs in peace of mind.

"Ginny is still watching, can't you act as a good example?"

"Oh, you can't blame me for this. First, I don't have copper Nat. Secondly, I don't plan to pay a second time."

Elena said, spreading her hands helplessly, and an extra explanation.

"These idiots don’t know the meaning of change. Last time I voted for a silver sicor, and then when I was going to get some money from their pockets, you also saw them resist fiercely. It’s almost as if I were going to cook them. It’s the same to eat, so I’m going to book it first—"

"Oh." Hermione replied calmly, still staring at Elena.

"So, are you really going to go wrong in front of the new student?"

"This is not a bad debt. I have already paid a silver Sike last time, and under the unanimous opposition of you and Luna, I failed to complete the reasonable compensation that I should have. This also means that the advance payment is completed. This is a principle. The problem-this is not called recklessness, this is business."

"But for those owl messengers, you are bullying them."

"I see the nature of exchange. As for the deviation in understanding, it is not my responsibility to consider."

Elena put down the fork in her hand and watched Hermione answer calmly.

"White prostitution is a very shameful behavior that will seriously disrupt the basic order of the market, so I refuse to pay them extra."

"you--"

"I have it here, um... a few Copper Nats?"

Seeing that the atmosphere seemed to become a little tense, Hannah panicked round the field.

Hannah quickly glanced at the magazines on Elena’s lap, counted ten copper nats from the small wallet, and put them in the small leather purses on the owls’ feet one by one. The owls flapped their wings and flew away. Ginny seemed to see a trace of relief in those round faces.

"You are so soft-hearted, you are going to inherit the cauldron tavern in the future!"

Elena blanked her eyes and said Hannah, who had finished the match again.

"If the customer is on credit, or you have been bullying you and can't settle the account... Then the tavern will have to be mortgaged to the bank after a few years.

"Hey hey, isn't this at least a few decades away, and you still have Hermione and Elena here, you can't lose it."

Hannah hung on Elena like a koala, swaying, and said heartlessly.

"Your heads are so bright, when I will pay a lot of money to hire you to settle the accounts, and then let Luna help in the promotion of the magazine, there must be too many customers to count, even if these copper nats are early shares- And those owls really look pitiful."

"Hire me and Hermione? Then these Copper Nuts are not enough, unless you mortgage yourself—"

Elena squeezed Hannah's small round face and rubbed it, but she didn't expect that this Tiehanhan would start beating her and Calculating Ji's idea first.

"Eh, you want to read every day... so many newspapers and magazines?"

Ginny looked at the thick pile of colorful magazines in a daze, and asked curiously.

There are dozens of newspapers and magazines that she has seen or haven’t seen in the Daily Prophet, The Witcher’s Weekly, The Devil’s Tune, and The Transfiguration Today. This adds up to nearly half of the "History of Magic", she usually Just reading my mother’s "Daily Prophet" felt bothersome and boring.

"Well, look at the pastime, plus learn about the world outside the school."

Hermione glanced at Tiehan who was hanging on Elena, raised her eyebrow noncommittal, and picked up a newspaper from Elena's knee.

"Entertainment, pastime?!" Ginny swallowed ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The important thing is the latter point, dear Miss Weasley-there is some more subtle news, professors or adults are Unwilling to take the initiative to tell us, and newspapers and magazines are the only way for our students to receive information on an equal footing. this point is very important. "

"The news that professors and adults don't want to talk about? For example?"

"For example..."

Hermione opened the newspaper, glanced quickly behind her eyes, turned over and pointed at one of the small tofu cubes, and said softly.

"Ms. Dolores Umbridge, why are you back to school again—"

[To **** the education reform, the Ministry of Magic passed the "Article 22 Education Order"]

[Dolores Umbridge appointed as the first senior investigator at Hogwarts]
