I added points to my talents at Hogwarts

Chapter 209 Elective Course

After confirming that there was no way to relay the Parseltongue whispers he heard, Ivis had no choice but to take Harry out of the Slytherin common room.

Of course, he wouldn’t say that the main reason that prompted him to give up was that when Harry entered the common room, Snape followed him.

He has been staring at them with dead eyes.

……

March went by just as fast as February.

At the end of March, the mandrakes that Professor Sprout had cultivated for nearly half a year had a lively, noisy, but extremely dangerous dance for humans in the second greenhouse.

They are almost mature and need to be repotted.

However, since the cries of the nearly mature mandrakes were already lethal, Professor Sprout did not ask the little wizards to help him like he did at the beginning of the school year. Instead, he completed the repotting alone.

After repotting, wait more than a month for them to fully mature. By then, the petrified Filch, Mrs. Norris and Colin will be able to recover.

The little wizards will soon have their last holiday of the school year, the Easter holidays.

There are two major holidays in the Hogwarts academic year: Christmas holiday and Easter holiday. Like Christmas, Easter is also an important holiday in the Western world, and schools will arrange a two-week holiday.

Easter is the first Sunday after the full moon in spring every year. Since the vernal equinox is not fixed every year, the specific date of Easter is also uncertain every year.

According to the calendar, Easter this year is on April 11th, which happens to be a Sunday. The holiday will start on the 10th and last until the 24th.

However, Hogwarts does not have such terms as taking time off or making up classes. After the holidays, the two weekends of the 24th and 25th will still be off as usual.

This is equivalent to a sixteen-day holiday for students.

During the holidays, the little wizards can also freely choose to go home or stay in school. However, since the end of the semester is approaching, professors usually assign a lot of homework during this period, so basically no one chooses to go home during this period.

During this vacation, second-year students think about one thing more than students in other grades—choosing courses.

The curriculum at Hogwarts is somewhat similar to that of a Muggle university.

The first and second years only take seven compulsory courses: Transfiguration, Charms, Potions, Herbal Medicine, History of Magic, Defense Against the Dark Arts and Astronomy. Of course, in the first grade, the little wizards will also be exposed to a flying lesson, but it will only be taken during a specific time period.

After entering third grade, students must choose at least two elective courses from the five elective courses: Divination, Arithmetic Divination, Muggle Studies, Ancient Rune Studies, and Care of Magical Creatures.

This is very similar to the credit system of Muggle universities. In addition to the compulsory courses, the number of credits for elective courses must be completed.

Of course, the school does not prohibit students from taking all five elective courses. Professors have many ways to solve class schedules with conflicting schedules.

Wait until the students reach fifth grade and complete O.W.L.After passing the s exam, they will not have to stick to the format of required courses and elective courses, and can only take the subjects of their choice. Likewise, professors also impose grade requirements on students who choose their courses.

At the same time, some more advanced courses will also be open to young wizards, such as alchemy.

Before the Easter holidays, notices asking for careful consideration of electives for the coming year were posted on notice boards in the common rooms of the four colleges.

Ever since seeing that announcement, Hermione had had a serious look on her face.

She read through a lot of course introduction literature and asked several senior students for their opinions on the elective courses they were taking.

While doing homework in the library, she looked at Ives who was immersed in the Potions class homework. She finally couldn’t help but said:”Aves, I have studied it. This course selection will affect our future.!”

She said sternly, with the seriousness on her face as if this course selection could determine whether the world will be destroyed.

“So what do you think, what classes do you want to sign up for?”She asked again.

Ives raised his head blankly. He was just busy copying the functions of laurel from the textbook and didn’t hear clearly what Hermione was asking.

“Elective courses, which ones do you want to take?”Hermione repeated.

Ives replied immediately without thinking:”I have already considered it, and my choice is – I want them all.”

He had discussed this issue with Dumbledore a long time ago. Due to his talent, Ives did not put the two divination courses on his list of elective courses at first.

However, Dumbledore recommended the divination course to him. , he said:”The professor of divination is a descendant of the prophet Cassandra Trelawney, and she has awakened her third eye. I think you should have more contact with her.”

Ives didn’t take it to heart at first. After all, Trelawney’s prophecies were sometimes ineffective. Except for entering that mysterious state, the prophecies she usually made had never come true.

But Dumbledore’s next move One sentence successfully made him change his previous plan,”You can choose the classes you want to take, and then just take the final exam.”

The words awakened the dreamer.

Ives had never considered taking all the elective courses. In his expectation, after taking all five courses, he would get a period of time from Professor McGonagall. Converter to ensure that he can go to all classes, but that is too tiring.

According to the information he found, because time-related magic is unstable, every wizard who uses a Time Converter for time travel will The rules must be strictly followed. Violating the rules of time will have disastrous consequences.

According to the rules, users must ensure that they cannot meet their past selves when using the time turner. At the same time, they must not cause any harm to travelers or time itself. The maximum duration of time travel without possible serious damage is about five hours.

Many years ago, wizards tried to figure out why time travelers could not survive journeys that spanned too long.

But these experiments All ended in 1899.

At that time, a witch named Eloise Mintab tried to return to 1402 for a few minutes, but she did not return to 1899 as planned, but was trapped in 1402 She was five days older.

When she was rescued, her body aged five centuries in the process of going back in time and suffered irreparable trauma. Soon after, she was in St. Mungo’s Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies. passed away.

Also because the five days Heloise Mintab spent in the distant past severely disrup

ted the lives of everyone she met in 1402. The lives of those people were significantly affected, which As a result, at least twenty-five of their descendants disappeared, never to be born.

This was not the worst disaster.

In the days after her return, time itself was disturbed as the rules of time were severely violated. Heloise The first Tuesday after Mintab’s death was stretched to two days, while Thursday lasted only four hours.

The danger of time travel is why Ives was unwilling to use the time turner..

It is true that using it according to the rules can bring convenience, but the price of breaking the rules is equally heavy.

Fortunately, Dumbledore gave another solution, so that he can choose all the elective courses.According to Avis’s plan, he will probably only take the ancient runes class and the Care of Magical Creatures class. As for the remaining three classes, he will choose the ones that interest him, or change them every other week. Go to class.

After listening to his explanation, Hermione thought for a while and said:”Then I have decided……”

Elvis looked over curiously, wondering what she had decided.

“……I want them all too!”Hermione said

“Um,” Ives planned to persuade,”Hermione, do you want to stop thinking about it? That’s twelve courses. Are you sure you can finish your homework in time?”

There is a reason why he will take all five elective courses.

First, with his talents in Charms and Transfiguration, he can easily cope with the Charms and Transfiguration classes in the next school year. What’s more, Professor Flitwick also exempted him from most of his homework, which allowed him to calmly cope with the homework of a total of twelve courses in the next school year.

Secondly, the reason why he chose Divination was largely because of Dumbledore. Lido’s recommendation, not that he really wanted to learn divination. Especially when he thought of the real prophecy made by Trelawny, Ivis really wanted to get in touch with her.

As for the Muggle Studies class, that was purely He was a Muggle, and he still needed the professors at Hogwarts to teach him what Muggles were like.

Facing Hermione’s confused look, he persuaded him:”You don’t have to choose at all. Muggle Studies class, that class is a complete waste of time. I heard Cedric say that Professor Charity Bubbaji, who teaches Muggle Studies class, doesn’t even know how Muggles make phone calls or take the subway.”

“However, I am quite curious about what the Muggle world is like from a wizard’s perspective.”Hermione slowly gave her reasons.

Ives scratched his head, skipped the Muggle Studies class, and continued:”There is also a Divination class. I don’t think you and Professor Trelawney will be too difficult to deal with, let alone This course really requires talent”

“Then you also reported it”

“……I didn’t sign up for this course because I wanted to learn divination,” Ives was almost stopped. He couldn’t say that he just took this course because he wanted to get Trelawney’s divination for free. Besides,

Dumbledore Lido had promised him that all he had to do was take the final exam.

Those with certificates could get away with it, but fools wouldn’t get away with it.

To no avail, Ives could only watch Hermione write down the list of elective courses in one breath. All five courses were checked.

He said weakly:”It will be very tiring.”

“It’s okay, I just need to sleep less.”Hermione carefully put her list into the notebook, stretched out her right hand and asked naturally:”Where are your lists? Leave them all here with me.”

Avis took out a piece of neatly folded parchment from his arms and placed it in the palm of her hand.

Hermione unfolded the parchment and looked at the elective choices that were exactly the same as hers, with a hint of joy in her eyes.

“I really don’t know what you’re so happy about,” Ives looked at the corners of her raised lips and muttered,”It’s going to be really tiring.”

“It doesn’t matter”

……

The Easter holiday ended with heavy homework. In order to prepare for the last Quidditch match of this semester, Ives returned to the team’s normal training during this period.

Roger showed great joy at his arrival. He patted Ives on the shoulder and said happily:”I can already see what it looked like when we toasted to our second consecutive championship!” The

English Peninsula in May It’s the most comfortable period of the year, with clear, warm sun and floral-scented breezes that make you feel intoxicated.

This afternoon is the Ravenclaw team’s last tournament of the semester, and they will face the Hufflepuff team.

Almost all the students and professors gathered on the Quidditch pitch. Even the fifth- and seventh-grade students who were stuck with review questions left the library and came to the pitch to relax from the stress of preparing for the exam. Tight nerves.

In the court, the players of the two teams stood facing each other, with the referee Mrs. Huo Qi in the middle.

“Ives, we will definitely win.”Cedric stood opposite Ives. When shaking hands, he left a harsh word. In response, Ives did not respond. He pouted and pointed his eyes in the direction of Qiu. The meaning is obvious – you are also a seeker, do you really dare to find the Golden Snitch before Qiu, and are you not afraid that she will ignore you?

Cedric, who is more than a friend to Qiu but not a lover, shrank his neck. After this After years of stalking, he finally got closer to Qiu, but he didn’t want to revert to the relationship they had before the start of school just because of a game.

Looking at his expression, Avis couldn’t help but sigh: You can’t be a housewife if you lick a dog.

But Qiu was obviously not such a stingy girl. She took the initiative to look at Cedric, waved her hand and shouted:”Ced, don’t be merciful!”

Cedric seemed to be instantly pumped and cheered up.

Just as Ives was about to say a few more words, Mrs. Hooch’s voice came,”Listen to my whistle.”

Everyone mentioned the broomstick

“three – two – one——”

After the whistle blew, the fourteen team members got on their broomsticks and jumped into the sky together.

Cheers came from the stands

“Hello everyone, I am the commentator, Li……”Li Saobao’s voice came from the radio. He deliberately prolonged his tone to create a cool appearance for himself.”……Jordan!”

As soon as they heard Li’s voice, the audience’s applause stopped instantly.

Ives flew to a high place, and he could see out of the corner of his eye that there was a bright red banner on the Ravenclaw stand. In shiny squiggles it read”Ravenclaw will win!””

A magic was also cast on the banner that made the words movable.

They twisted and turned into the shape of an eagle, with wings spread high and an eagle chirping sound coming from its beak. Then the eagle suddenly turned into an eagle. The little badger then turned into the words”Come on Cedric”, which was obviously Hermione’s work.

Elvis waved his hand vigorously in that direction
