A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 149: Course selection

"Come in," said Felix.

The two sat opposite the sofa, and a plate of snacks and two cups of pumpkin juice floated onto the small table automatically.

"Oh, thank you." Hermione said, "Professor Haip, I haven't thanked you yet. The Easter eggs you sent are beautiful."

She doesn't have many friends, and the Easter chocolate eggs she receives are basically limited to her parents, roommates, Harry and Ron.

"It's nothing, as long as you like it." Felix said politely. He mail-ordered a batch from the candy store and gave them to close people, such as professors, students and close contacts in Hogwarts. pen pal.

In his view, this is a social etiquette.

Except for attaching a handwritten greeting card, he didn't think much of it - don't expect a canteen guy to have a hand at making Easter eggs.

"Miss Granger, do you have any questions about the third-year course selection? Besides, you should consult Professor McGonagall in this regard?"

"I will communicate with Professor McGonagall tomorrow." Hermione nodded, took a deep breath and said, "In fact, I ticked all the courses, although some people said that there will be time conflicts, But as far as I know, Percy, Ron's brother, took all the courses in the third year..."

"Percy Weasley?" Felix blinked, "He is really good at ancient runes."

"I don't want to drop a class, I mean—" she said slowly, "if someone can do it, why can't I?"

Felix understood clearly, "So, you want to learn about the secrets from me?"

"Yes, Professor, if it is convenient for you to disclose."

"Well, this is a semi-open secret among the professors, but they try not to disclose it to other students, and they also cover it up in every possible way...Of course, some smart people will definitely find the anomaly."

"You're one of them, aren't you? Or are you a witness of this secret, like Percy?" Hermione slowed down her breathing and looked at Felix expectantly.

"Unfortunately, I also found out about it later. When I was in school, I didn't choose Muggle Studies and Arithmetic Divination, which made me miss a precious opportunity." He said with a look of melancholy.

"You didn't choose Muggle Studies?" She looked at Felix in disbelief.

"Yeah, I thought the course was a waste of time. No one would have guessed that I would later become an expert on Muggle issues."

Hermione thought, I can't understand it, this is too outrageous, but the professor was born in the Muggle world and is no stranger to this.

"So, the secret is—"

"Use the time-turner, which can take you back hours."

"Back to the past?" Hermione looked at him in shock, "But, professor, how is this possible!"

"Otherwise, how could students choose two conflicting courses?" Felix asked rhetorically.

Hermione was speechless.

She heard Professor Haipu continue to say: "I haven't studied this exquisite magical creation, and I don't know its structure. But from the public information, the Ministry of Magic is extremely strict with the use of time converters. Hundreds of laws were enacted, with the harshest penalties for abuse."

"Why did the student——"

"Strict vouching and scrutiny is required, Miss Granger. Where you can't see, the previous headmasters of Hogwarts - now Dumbledore, vouch for themselves, and Professor McGonagall must write Various letters prove that the user is an absolute model student, to ensure that it will not be used for things other than learning.”

Hermione suddenly thought of a nickname for Percy - Model Percy.

"So, if it was you who applied, Professor McGonagall should not refuse." Felix comforted her.

If my assistant gets the time converter, maybe he will have the opportunity to conduct research? But Felix viewed this sudden idea cautiously. From the pitifully small amount of information he saw, all he saw were dangerous cases of misuse of Time-Turners.

Using the Time-Turner is not dangerous, the dangerous thing is playing with time self-righteously.

Hermione left contentedly.

Before leaving, Professor Haipu warned her, "Don't reveal the existence of the Time Converter to anyone, it will make Professor McGonagall very embarrassed, and it is also a huge threat to users."

…

The other second-year little wizards are also worrying about choosing courses, after all, this will actually affect their future - after choosing courses this time, the scope of subjects for the OWLs and NEWTs exams is basically determined.

Every little wizard has his own method——

Students from wizarding families will discuss this aspect in detail with their families, but sometimes it will have the opposite effect. For example, Neville, some of his relatives wrote to him one after another, giving him various contradictory suggestions, which made him a little at a loss and at a loss.

"Do you think arithmetic divination sounds more difficult to learn than ancient runes?" When Hermione returned, she saw Neville asking Harry for his opinion in the common room.

"Er...maybe?" Harry said vaguely, with a course selection form and course materials in his hand.

Ron patted Neville on the shoulder: "Dude, of course choose the ancient runes!"

Neville said awkwardly: "My memory is not good, Professor Snape said—"

"Oh, don't listen to him, he doesn't have any good words out of his mouth," Ron said in a low voice pretending to be mysterious, "I'll tell you a secret, Professor Haipu is the strongest of all teachers, as long as you become His student, Snape will never dare to bully you again."

"Yes, but, Professor Haip is a student of Snape~"

Ron was speechless and stammered, "Maybe they don't get along." He saw Hermione walking in ~IndoMTL.com~ and immediately asked her for support: "Hermione, you should understand ?”

"I don't see any evidence of discord between the two professors!"

Ron sat back in the chair resentfully.

Harry raised his head and asked Hermione: "Did you get any advice from Professor Haip?"

"I didn't ask about the details of course selection, but just solved a question..." She thought of Felix's warning to her, and vaguely brought up this topic.

Percy is willing to give advice to the lower grade students. There are a group of people around him, and the voice reaches Harry's ears: "This is related to your future plans. If you like outdoor activities, you can Boldly choose the protection of magical creatures; if you are keen on calculation and solving puzzles, you can choose arithmetic divination; I personally highly recommend ancient runes, Professor Haipu has given this course a whole new meaning.”

The little wizards agreed, and they were envious of the magic puppets everywhere in the school.

"...some people will tell you that Muggle studies are stupid, but I personally think that wizards should have a comprehensive understanding of non-magic society, especially if you can't be sure whether you will engage in close contact with Muggles work. One more thing, Professor Haipu is also an expert in this field!"

"As for the divination class, I also recommend that you take it. The reason is very simple. If you have the talent for prophecy, this class will change your life; even if you don't, the divination class is the easiest subject to pass."

The little wizards left thoughtfully.

Harry also has some experience. He is thinking about a question at the moment, what should I do in the future?

If it comes to what he is best at, there is no doubt that it is Quidditch, but he is not sure if he will become a professional Quidditch player.

Finally, after discussing with Ron, he chose the same few new courses-protection of magical creatures, divination and ancient runes.
