Chapter 273 Elective Course

"Harry, why did Professor Dumbledore keep you here just now?"

When Harry Potter returned to his dormitory in a daze, his friend Ron immediately joined him.

After a period of buffering, they and Ginny quickly calmed down.

After all, the diary hiding Voldemort's memory has been found by the professors, and the danger has disappeared.

"Dumbledore asked me...if I wanted to talk to You-Know-Who."

Harry, who had come to his senses, replied honestly.

"Is he crazy?!"

Ron's eyes widened and he shouted in disbelief: "How could he let you do such a dangerous thing?!"

"Well, it's actually nothing dangerous. It's just writing in the diary."

Harry defended Dumbledore.

As a result, Ron became even more excited, "Did you really do that?!"

"Um."

Harry nodded and replied: "Actually, Professor Dumbledore didn't force me. I chose to talk to Voldemort myself... Ah, I'm sorry."

Seeing Ron's horrified expression at the name "Voldemort", Harry apologized quickly.

However, just as Dumbledore expected, after a brief exchange with Voldemort, Harry was much less afraid of him, and his mentality also changed a lot.

If he said the name "Voldemort" before because he didn't understand it, then he said the name now because Harry already regarded the other party as an enemy that must be defeated.

"What did you and him...the mysterious man talk about?"

When the fear on his face faded, Ron couldn't help but asked curiously.

"Actually, there was nothing to talk about..." Harry scratched his head and said with a dry smile: "He seemed to have become very angry because the plan failed. In the beginning, I couldn't talk to him properly at all."

This is also one of the main reasons why Harry's fear of Voldemort has been greatly weakened, because from the other party's angry words, Harry probably understood that he seemed to have been miserably deceived by Fish and Dumbledore, and subconsciously I feel... Voldemort is nothing more than that.

Although Voldemort later regained his composure and talked about the scene when he killed Harry's parents and how they begged them, Harry had already established a psychological advantage at this time. While angry, he did not forget to fight back at Voldemort and ridicule him. Not only was he, the Dark Lord, now worse than dead, he was also defeated twice by Fish, a second-year wizard.

Voldemort, who had already been defeated by Dumbledore and Fish, was once again stimulated by Harry's words and flew into a rage. He wrote a series of vicious curses in the diary until the ink in the diary ran out. .

"Hahahaha...this is really..."

After listening to Harry's story, Ron smiled dryly and ruffled his hair. He suddenly felt that... Voldemort didn't seem so scary anymore.

Although the matter of the diary was related to the famous Dark Lord, for Harry and the others, the past was over. As students, they still had to focus more on their studies.

Although Dumbledore didn't stop them from talking about this matter, but it was related to the Dark Lord, and no one could be too cautious. Besides, Ginny also played the role of an accomplice in it. Even if she was controlled, that would be too much. It's not a showy thing.

Therefore, several people consciously kept this matter in their hearts. Since there were no more people to discuss it with, Harry and Weasley naturally gradually put it behind them.

The most important thing Harry and Ron need to consider now is which elective courses they should choose in their third year.

On this day, the second-year students of Gryffindor gathered in the common room, holding the new course schedule and discussing with each other which courses to choose.

Of course, the little witches mainly wanted to know which courses Fish planned to take.

In addition, some senior students were also on hand to give them advice.

"You must take the Care of Magical Creatures course," George and Fred stood next to Ron and told him plausibly: "Except for flying lessons, there is probably no easier or more interesting course. It’s...even though it’s a bit dangerous sometimes.”

Ron heard this and signed his name on the course without hesitation, and Harry and other students also chose this course without hesitation.

As for the dangers from the twins’ mouths…

How can one be called Gryffindor if he is afraid of danger?

Percy, who was also making suggestions, was a little unhappy. He glared and yelled at the twins: "Elective courses are related to their future employment direction. How can you be so careless!"

Then he ignored the twins' eye rolls and continued his tirade.

But except Hermione, no one was listening, and everyone still wanted to hear the twins' analysis.

"If you are from a mixed-race or Muggle family, you can choose Muggle Studies. You will still have an advantage in this class, but it may be a bit boring during class because you already know many things."

The twins were not just messing around with their ideas. After hesitating for a moment, several young wizards with Muggle blood still chose this course, while Hermione, who was completely Muggle-born, remained motionless because she had already Signed at the back of all courses.

"If you think your brain is easy to use, you can choose arithmetic divination and ancient runes."

George took over Fred's words and continued.

Neville, who was still struggling with these two courses because of letters from relatives, chose to give up without hesitation. Most others also skipped these two options.

"We don't know much about the Divination class. We only know that this class seems to be more about talent, and its evaluation among students is somewhat polarized."

As soon as George finished speaking, some students who chose the divination class started arguing.

As the twins said, the evaluation of this course among students is very strange. Some said that Professor Trelawney was a liar, while others refuted that it was because they did not open the "Chen Eye", which made Harry and others look at each other. , I don’t know what the situation is.

At this time Feishu suddenly spoke.

"Fred, how many courses can I take at least? Are there any other courses that don't require too much homework?"

(●ΦωΦ●)

For the little cat, it doesn't matter which course he chooses. He is basically sleeping anyway. The key is that he has less homework.

"At least two doors."

Fred raised two fingers and shook his head, and replied: "I'm not sure about the homework question, because George and I only chose Care of Magical Creatures and Muggle Studies. You can ask "Percy," Fred pointed at his brother who was left aside, with a mixture of admiration and disgust on his face, "He has obtained all twelve O.W.L. certificates."

The little wizards around him all exclaimed in exclamation, and their gazes suddenly became astonishing as they looked at Percy.

"Ahem!" Percy cleared his throat reservedly, then straightened his collar, trying not to show any pride. He glanced at Fei Xu, who had an expectant look on his face, and replied helplessly: "From schoolwork. In terms of intensity, Care of Magical Creatures and Divination are the easiest courses, but I advise you to think carefully before deciding which course you want to take.”

Unfortunately, most students didn't bother to listen to his advice and signed their names behind these two courses without hesitation.

However, Fei Xu has not yet finished writing, and the expression on his cute little face is a little tangled.

Because of the centaur's confusing way of talking and the fact that he couldn't tell him where to find delicious food and fun, the little cat has always felt that divination is a lie...

This actually didn't matter. After all, he had just deceived Voldemort with the bad old man. Taking another deceitful course could also enhance his skill level.

but……

Professor McGonagall doesn't seem to be very interested in divination classes, and her relationship with Professor Trelawney is not very good on weekdays. Of course, this is because Professor Trelawney always wants to trick Fish away from her. , also has a big relationship.

Fish was worried that Professor McGonagall would be angry if he chose this course.

but……

This class has very little homework!

Fish scratched his cat's head, caught in a dilemma.

"Percy, where are the other three classes?"

ω

Unable to make a decision immediately, Fish asked again.

"Except for Ancient Runes, the amount of homework in the other two subjects is almost the same. As for Ancient Runes... this course has the most homework, and it is as boring as History of Magic."

Percy answered truthfully, and several young wizards who had chosen this course quickly erased their names on the class schedule. Only Hermione remained unmoved.

(ω)

The little cat was silent for a moment, and then decisively signed his name at the back of the divination class.

In addition, the characters on the cover of the "Rune Dictionary" that appeared in the movie version are real-life runes, which is actually inconsistent with Rowling's own setting of ancient runes.
