Magical Studies at Hogwarts

In the first few weeks of school, everything outside did not affect the peaceful life of Hogwarts too much. Although the students could get some information from letters from home and the Daily Prophet, it was all far away from them.

Very far.

For Harry and other sixth graders, the reduction in classes did not allow them to relax and rest as much as Ron thought. All the free time was used to work hard to complete the homework assigned by the professors.

In comparison, it was even busier than the week before the exam.

All the courses have become more difficult, especially Transfiguration. Harry can't even understand half of what Professor McGonagall teaches. Ron is even worse. Not only do they have to do it while Professor McGonagall is teaching

They listened carefully and even asked Hermione to tell them again after class. Even if they had to endure Hermione's preaching, they both endured it.

Unable to bear it, Professor McGonagall will check their mastery of the content explained in the previous class in the first few minutes of class. It is completely different from the past when they just handed in their homework.

Moreover, because Snape required them to use silent spells, other courses such as Charms and Transfiguration also had such requirements. This made it possible to see people in the common room and the Great Hall with their faces red and competing with themselves.

students, but until now, except for Hermione, everyone else has been sometimes ineffective.

The herbal medicine class became a rare respite for everyone. Although the plants they had to deal with were more dangerous than before, at least they could recite the spell out loud when they encountered danger.

No one expected that the sixth grade would be so busy with homework, which also delayed Harry and others' plan to visit Hagrid. In fact, they didn't see Hagrid appear during meals for a long time.

When I was at the professor's chair, I occasionally met Hagrid outside, but he pretended not to see them and didn't say hello to them at all.

All three of Harry knew that Hagrid was expressing his dissatisfaction. He was still angry because they did not continue to choose Care of Magical Creatures.

"We have to explain." On Saturday morning, when they were sitting at the Gryffindor table for breakfast, Hermione said, looking at Hagrid's large empty seat on the professor's chair.

"Not in the morning, the Quidditch trial is in the morning." Harry said, "You can go after the trial. We really can't stop talking to Hagrid."

At this time, owls flew in, more than usual. It has always been like this this semester. Parents want to know how their children are doing at school, and they don't want their children to worry about their safety outside.

Both Harry and Ron received letters, Ron's was naturally from Mrs. Weasley, and Harry's was from Sirius.

"What did he say in the letter?" Ron opened his own letter, glanced at it and put it aside, then moved closer to Harry. He knew what was written in Mrs. Weasley's letter even without reading it.

It’s nothing more than being careful, being careful, and being more careful.

On the contrary, Sirius's is very interesting.

"He recently captured a few more werewolves, and expelled some dark creatures who wanted to attack Muggles." Harry said while looking at the letter, and after reading it, he carefully folded it and stuffed it back into the envelope.

"It's great... I also hope to fight with him." Ron's tone was full of yearning. Harry also yearned for it, but he also knew that Dumbledore would not allow it.

Another batch of owls flew in, bringing a new issue of the Daily Prophet. Hermione reached out to take it and quickly looked at the first page.

"Has anyone we know died?" Ron asked, pretending to be relaxed, as he had been doing for the past few weeks.

"No, but there's no good news." Hermione read the newspaper hastily and put it aside. The newspapers in the past few weeks were basically the same, either dementors or werewolves, full of negative energy.

"People are panicking now." She frowned and said, "Don't you know that Parvati's parents want to take her and her sister Padma home, and Midgen has already dropped out of school..."

"Why? Don't they know that Hogwarts is safer than the outside?" Ron's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, "We have Ao Luo, new protective spells, and Dun

Bullido!”

"But Dumbledore is not always at school." Hermione glanced at the seat on the professor's chair that had been empty for a long time like Hagrid. "He hasn't been in school for almost more than a week."

"Maybe he is too busy with the Order of the Phoenix." Harry interrupted, "The current situation is very serious, he must be very busy."

They all fell silent and looked at a seat at the Hufflepuff table next door, where Hannah Abbott often sat. But in the Herbology class a few days ago, since she was called out

She never came back. The next day they learned from the newspaper that her parents had been killed.

After finishing breakfast with some heaviness, the three of them walked to the Quidditch pitch together. When they arrived, most of the people who were going to participate in the selection had already been waiting for a while.

There were a lot of people, more than half of the Gryffindors from the first to seventh years were here. They were all talking and it seemed noisy. Fortunately, Harry was still very authoritative, but it also took a whole morning.

, the selection of team members was completed.

Harry believed that the selection was fair, but some people were satisfied with this matter, and naturally some were dissatisfied. At least many people were surprised that Ron would serve as the team's goalkeeper again. Harry did not explain.

After training time, we walked to Hagrid's hut with Hermione and Ron.

From a distance, they saw a big man coming out from behind the house. He was stunned for a moment when he saw them, and then hurried into the house, not caring that Yaya was still outside.

"He must have seen us, right." Ron said looking at Yaya who was running towards them excitedly.

"It must be." Harry stretched out his hand and rubbed Yaya's head, then strode towards the hut, "But it doesn't matter, he will come out."

As he spoke, he walked to the door of the cabin with a straight face and slammed the door hard.

"Hagrid! Open the door! We want to talk to you!"

Harry shouted loudly, but no sound came from the hut. Seeing this, he directly pulled out his wand and shouted: "If you don't open the door, I will blow the door down!"

"Harry, don't..." At this time, Hermione and Ron also came to the door with Yaya, and saw this and quickly stopped them. But before they could finish speaking, the door was opened.

"Potter! I'm a teacher! How dare you threaten me and say you're going to blow up my door!" Hagrid roared angrily, looking very scary.

"I'm sorry, sir!" Harry kept a straight face and put away his wand.

"Since when did you start calling me 'sir'?"

"Since when did you start calling me 'Potter'?"

Hagrid suddenly laughed, patted Harry on the shoulder with his big hand, and shouted: "Ha, interesting... well, come in, you ungrateful little guys..."
