Chapter 231: Gryffindor's Crouching Dragon Phoenix
This year, classes did not start immediately after the start of school, and there was a day off.
The reason is that today the Dementors have officially settled in Hogwarts, and the professors have gone to check the location of the Dementors and arrange some small warning formations.
The Ministry's assurances obviously did not reassure Dumbledore, after all, there was a precedent on Hogwarts Express. Therefore, some early warning means are necessary, don't sneak into Hogwarts and don't know it.
At the same time, the location of the Dementors was indicated on the bulletin board, so that the little wizards could remember not to run around and bump into the hands of the Dementors.
Especially the most jumpy group in each college, they were also pulled out by the deans of each college individually, including our George and Fred.
In addition, Harry, Ron and Neville are also inside, and after these two years, Professor McGonagall has also seen that Harry's ability to do things in this trio is not weaker than that of Gemini.
They're not the same type, and the Weasley twins are those 27 kinds of small, annoying, but innocuous pranks that are constantly and annoying on weekdays.
But Harry and the three of them are different, completely the opposite, usually very well-behaved, really make trouble and violate the school rules to withdraw from school, that is the basic operation, and even sometimes have to go to Azkaban!
Night tours in violation of school rules, brave underground classrooms, drive magical cars across the Muggle world, destroy beaters, threaten professors, explore secret rooms…
Professor McGonagall couldn't help but wonder, how could she have this Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick at the same time!
After coming out like this, these guys know the priorities of the matter and will not give birth to the idea of picking up tigers' whiskers. As long as you hold the most noisy sources, the remaining little wizards will naturally not make trouble.
Of course, Professor Flitwick did not notice that Li Xuan, a fox with a well-behaved disguise on the surface, when it comes to making trouble, the Harry trio and the Weasley twins combined are not as much as Li Xuan does in private!
And the movement made is even bigger and more amazing, if it weren't for Harry, they and Voldemort in front of the tank, and put a layer of skin on themselves, not to mention Professor Flitwick, Dumbledore may not be able to protect him.
After breakfast, there were finally fewer people on the bulletin board, and Li Xuan walked over and spent a minute or two, using his super memory to write down all the locations marked on it.
Not to kill the Dementors, Li Xuan is not so idle, nor is he accepted into the small world, which has been tested on the Hogwarts Express.
Dementors are magical creatures, not magical animals!
So Li Xuan will not get these things that are not under his control into the small world, and it will not be good to hurt other magical animals when the time comes!
After writing it down, Li Xuan went to the library, and he didn't come back for two months, so he still missed it a little.
Came to the library to say hello to the administrator, Mrs. Pince, who was not surprised that Li Xuan came to the library on the first day of school, because Hermione and Penelo had already arrived before this.
For the regulars of these three libraries, such a special combination, it is difficult for Mrs. Pince to remember.
What's more, Li Xuan and these three people are not students without reputation, and the names of the three super students are still known. At the beginning of the school year, it is normal for the library to be less crowded, basically except for preparing for exams and making up homework on weekends, basically only a quarter of the library is done.
And today is even less, early in the morning on the first day of school, except for Hermione and Penelope, who arrived early, there were only two or three big cats and kittens. Coming to Hermione's long table and sitting down, the two women who were holding books to read looked at Li Xuan and said hello before continuing to read the book in their hands.
Li Xuan didn't mind either, with their relationship, there was no need to say anything too much. Li Xuan took Hermione and Penelope's respective class schedules in front of him and compared them with himself.
There are eight compulsory courses at Hogwarts, of which flying class is the shortest, only for first-year students, and one year is enough time for young wizards to learn to ride flying broomsticks.
It's like a driving school in the world of technology, taught the operation, passed the test, the rest is their own business, and they practice more.
There are seven remaining courses, Transfiguration, Herbology, History of Magic, Charms, and Astronomy, which are taken from the first to the fifth grade. The rest of the Defense Against the Dark Arts and Potions classes are in grades one to six, and it is worth mentioning that astronomy becomes elective by sixth and seventh grades.
Therefore, Li Xuan's compulsory courses this year are seven, not counting the elective courses.
There are also seven elective courses, namely Fantastic Beasts Conservation, Ancient Runevan Studies, Muggle Studies, Arithmetic Divination, Divination, Alchemy, and Apparitions.
Among them, alchemy, an elective course, can only be chosen by sixth and seventh grade students who meet the conditions.
The most special is probably the Phantom Apparition class, the first requirement of this course is that the student must be at least seventeen years old, or seventeen years old by August 31 of the following year.
Unlike other elective courses, such elective courses have to pay tuition, and they are not cheap, twelve gold gallons alone, so the compensation that Dumbledore and Fudge negotiated earlier included the exemption of the cost of this year's Apparition class.
The course, taught by Wicky Tycros, the Ministry's Phantom Apparitions instructor, began twelve weeks shortly after the Christmas break.
103 In other words, there are actually only five courses that Li Xuan and Hermione can choose, and Li Xuan chose Fantastic Beasts Protection and Ancient Runyven Studies.
The remaining three, Divination Class Li Xuan did not like, and also felt that he had no talent, Muggle research let alone hermione, he was not Hermione, and he found it interesting to study ordinary people from the perspective of the wizarding world.
By the way, Hermione also chose all five electives, so naturally there were overlapping courses. Previously, when receiving Hermione's wish form, Professor McGonagall also specifically talked to Hermione.
After confirming Hermione's firm reluctance to change, Professor McGonagall gave her the Time Turner and told her to be careful to keep it secret and not to use it at will.
That is, Hermione, it is impossible for anyone else to get the time turner from Professor McGonagall.
After all, giving the Time Turner to Hermione, Professor McGonagall was the guarantor, and she needed to write to the Ministry of Magic to tell the Ministry that the owner was a model student.
Promise never to use it for anything other than studying, of course, Hermione used it on the original timeline, but it didn't get noticed.
The Ministry of Magic has hundreds of laws surrounding the possession and use of the Time Turner, as well as the harshest laws and penalties for misuse of the Time Turner!
