The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

What classes do you want to take? This is a good question.

You must know that a person's grade point depends on his efforts, but many times if you want your grade point to be close to four, you need certain course selection skills. Some professors simply have brain problems. If they don't fail 30% of the students, they will feel uncomfortable. Giving students an A is like killing them. It's better to avoid classes with such people.

Tom believed that if Potions was an elective course, Professor Snape would be the most idle professor in the school, and the second most idle professor would be Professor Binns, who teaches History of Magic. But if Tom continues to take the test like this, he will probably be ranked third.

Hermione studied the list of new courses carefully, writing and marking on it. She had consulted many seniors and had a general understanding of the new curriculum.

Tom thought for a moment and said, "I will definitely study Divination and Arithmetic Divination, and I should also study Protection of Magical Creatures and Ancient Runes."

Tom feels that he currently lacks effective divination methods, so it is still necessary to understand some professional divination knowledge. And Tom felt that Professor Trelawney might have some notes left by her ancestor Cassandra Trelawney, and he thought he could borrow them to read.

The course on Care of Magical Creatures can help Tom understand various magical creatures. It is also necessary to take it and gain some knowledge. As for the ancient runes, that was out of interest. Tom felt that it would not hurt to know some ancient wizards' writings, even if these writings now only have the function of "words".

"Then what do you think of Muggle Studies?" Hermione clicked and found that Tom had actually selected four of the five subjects, except Muggle Studies.

Tom:…

"I'm just a Muggle! Why do I need to sign up for this kind of course? Isn't this course just for water credits?" Tom was quite disdainful of this course. As an employee of the Department for the Prohibition of Misuse of Muggle Articles, Mr. Arthur must have learned this course. As a result, he didn't even know how Muggles made a phone call or took the subway!

This course teaches a hammer! Got a hammer to use? It's a complete waste of time. The correct way to use this course is to focus on a certain period of time every week to teach the young wizards how to wear Muggles. After they learn it, take them out for "spring outings" and "outings", and truly get to know Muggles. world, instead of looking at textbooks from more than ten years ago and making assumptions about the Muggle world.

"But, I'm curious about what the Muggle world is like from a wizard's perspective, so I might as well sign up for this class."

"also?"

"Yes! Yes." Hermione took her quill and signed all the subjects.

The advice her seniors gave her was to choose courses based on her future plans. If you want to engage in work that has close contact with Muggles in the future, such as positions in the accident reversal team and the Department for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Muggle Articles, then the Muggle Studies course is more worthwhile - because its N.E.W.T. certificate is required when applying for the position. . If your dream career involves the outdoors, it might be a good idea to add Care of Magical Creatures. For careers involving archeology, ancient runes, divination, and arithmetic are required.

Although she received such advice, Hermione had her own ideas, and she wanted to do them all! It’s not that she bites off more than she can chew, but it’s because she needs to make her own judgment.

She feels that every course involves the choice of future career, and she needs to be very cautious. Just relying on the words of her seniors is not enough. She wants to take the class herself for a year before making a choice.

"You..." Seeing Hermione check five courses in one breath, Tom was speechless: Hermione would have to take 12 courses in one semester.

"It's going to be very tiring."

"It's okay, I'll just sleep less. Don't you really want to take the Muggle Studies class?" Hermione looked expectantly, "This way, if there is a team assignment, we can also form a team, so we don't have to Take the trouble to find reliable teammates."

When it comes to group work, sometimes meeting a pig teammate is even more frustrating than doing it alone!

Of course, Hermione could complete the assignments assigned by the professors of various subjects by herself, but... if she could do it with Tom, why not?

"Besides, if I have your help, I should be able to relax a lot. Of course, it's okay if you don't want to report. I can team up with other people..."

Tom looked at Hermione's pair of black eyes that seemed to be able to speak, and felt that this was a request that was almost irresistible, so he uncontrollably followed Hermione and marked five check boxes on the class registration form.

"Actually..." he said with difficulty after signing, "There is no need for you to take Divination. I don't think you and Professor Trelawney will be too difficult to deal with - this course really requires talent."

"But you also reported it!"

"Because I really have the talent for divination." Tom said weakly, as if he had recalled some unpleasant memories.

Hermione:?

"Then make a prediction for me!" she said angrily.

"I predict you'll give up Muggle Studies and Divination after your third year."

"Humph!" Hermione rolled her eyes at him, and at the same time she secretly made up her mind: she would never give up on these two subjects, and she would definitely hit Tom hard in the face. Hermione believed that there was no class that she couldn't take.

As she put away her course selection list, she glanced at Tom's office from the corner of her eye, and her attention was drawn to several stacks of parchment.

"What is this?" Hermione walked to the pile of parchment, resisted the idea of ​​picking it up, and turned to ask Tom.

"Exam papers after Easter."

Hermione's eyes suddenly became complicated. She really wanted to see it! Tom sensed Hermione's desire and couldn't help but find it particularly interesting.

Hermione looked at the paper and was extremely confused: she didn't want to get the test answers from Tom, she just wanted to do the set of questions in advance.

Exam papers were a fatal temptation for Hermione. Exams can test her learning achievements, just like scratching a prize, making her obsessed, addicted, and unable to stop.

She looked at Tom, with a trace of longing in her eyes. She hoped that Tom would invite her to come for an "internal test" to see if the difficulty met the requirements and whether any of the questions were controversial. She would also test herself to see if she had any loopholes. .

But Tom seemed to have suddenly become blind, unable to see what Hermione was thinking at all, and ignored her eyes. Hermione was a little anxious, hesitated for a while, and finally said in a voice that was not much louder than the sound of a mosquito: "That paper...can I take it over and do it?"

Tom raised his head: "What did you say? I didn't hear you."

Hermione's face turned red all of a sudden, as if she could squeeze out water with a pinch. She raised her voice: "I, I want to... do that set of papers..."

"Oh——" Tom drawled, "Is it this set of papers?"

Hermione nodded.

"Then, why should I give you this set of papers?"
