Chapter 273 Time Converter Application Failed

After Lockhart finished speaking, he walked away, looking in the direction that he should be looking for Harry.

As soon as he left, Professor McGonagall immediately looked at Kyle.

"Don't pay attention to that tree. If you still want to live well, stay away from it. And..."

She pursed her lips and continued: "You need to learn a lot of courses this year. I suggest you read more useful books, such as... related to magic texts."

"Okay, Professor," Kyle said.

In fact, he had never read the book "Wandering with Werewolves", and just mentioned it casually. Unexpectedly, Lockhart not only did not refute, but also gave him ten points.

This is really an unexpected gain.

Professor McGonagall nodded.

"Now let's talk about you."

Sprout said: "Unfortunately, Kyle, the time turner you applied for was not successful, so you may have to reselect your class schedule."

"It didn't succeed?" Kyle was stunned for a moment, "But Percy had..."

"This time is different."

Professor Sprout shook his head and said: "All time turners are kept in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic, but it is now tightly sealed and no letters can be sent in."

"Just yesterday, we also tried to get Professor Dumbledore to come forward..." Professor McGonagall said: "But he also returned without success."

"Even Principal Dumbledore can't get in?" Kyle said in surprise.

"No, he went to the Department of Mysteries." Professor McGonagall gave Kyle a meaningful look, "But someone rejected the application on the grounds that all time turners are useful and there are currently no extra ones available to the little wizard. use."

"Um...nothing extra?" Kyle was a little confused.

"Yes, so you'd better choose a get out of class again."

Professor Sprout took out a new timetable with some dirt on it and handed it to Kyle, "Hurry up and don't delay class."

Kyle took the class schedule, thought for a moment and said, "Professor, I still want to choose everything."

"But the time turner..." Professor Sprout frowned.

"It doesn't matter." Kyle said quickly: "I want a place to take the exam, so as long as you agree, I only need to take one of the courses when the courses conflict."

"ah?"

Professor Sprout has been at Hogwarts for decades, and this is the first time he has heard such an outrageous request.

She subconsciously looked to the side and found that Professor McGonagall was also frowning.

The two discussed it quickly...

"Are you sure? Kyle."

Professor McGonagall said seriously: "You have to understand that getting all "O"s in ten courses is different from ten "O"s in twelve courses."

"I know." Kyle nodded.

"Okay then." Professor McGonagall said, "If you insist, I will tell the other professors that you can choose the courses you need to take according to your own ideas.

"But..." Professor McGonagall reminded: "This is limited to six elective courses."

"Of course..." Kyle smiled, "I won't miss any Transfiguration class or Herbology class."

Professor McGonagall gave a rare smile.

Professor Sprout also forgot about the unpleasantness caused by Lockhart, and smiled and gave a branch of the Whomping Willow to Kyle.

Although the branches of the Whomping Willow are not as important as the roots, they are also a very rare potion material and are expensive.

If you take the section Professor Sprout gave you to the shop in Diagon Alley, you can exchange it for at least twenty galleons.

Moreover, in the entire British magical world, there is only one whomping willow in Hogwarts. If something goes wrong with Harry and Ron, the loss will be too great.

After discussing the course selection, the two professors left.

Kyle did not follow Professor McGonagall to the castle this time, but walked towards the Forbidden Forest not far away.

Although I didn't get the time turner, the result was not bad.

Just like now... he can choose to go to Care of Magical Creatures, or learn arithmetic and divination... or, neither.

The professors won't think there's any problem. He can use the time to do other things.

Of course, it is not easy to get Professor McGonagall to agree to such a request. It can even be said to be more difficult than applying for a time turner.

In addition to the fact that the Department of Mysteries just rejected the application, Kyle's perfect transcripts from the previous two years also played a big role.

Otherwise... skip class? Don’t even think about it!

But I definitely have to go to the first class.

Kyle walked across the grounds towards the Forbidden Forest, and on the way he saw Lockhart talking to Harry.

Because of the distance, Kyle didn't hear clearly what the two said, but judging from Harry's expression, he probably didn't really want to chat with Lockhart.

Professor Kettleburn's Care of Magical Creatures class was on the other side of the Forbidden Forest, closer to the Quidditch pitch.

He opened up a large open space there specifically for students to use for classes.

Connor also took this class and was already waiting when Kyle arrived.

"What do you want from Professor Sprout?" she asked. "Do you need help?"

"No, there's just something wrong with my class schedule. It's been solved."

Kyle didn't hide anything and told her directly about his failure to apply for a time turner, including the subsequent solution.

Although Professor McGonagall asked him to keep it a secret, how could there be any secrets in Hogwarts... This was common sense.

"You are going to take twelve exams?" Connor was a little surprised. "You already have the Order of Merlin. Do you still need those certificates?"

"I'm just sitting around doing nothing. It's not that difficult anyway. Just treat it as a test for fun." Kyle said as a matter of course. "The main thing is that I can skip classes openly. How great."

"So, being able to skip classes is the key point!" Connor stared at him.

Kyle shrugged and didn't comment.

Sure enough!

Connor rolled her eyes. She asked unnecessarily.

Just as the two were talking, Professor Kettleburn also came out of the Forbidden Forest.

He seemed to be injured again. He was covered in dust. His previous prosthetic leg was gone. Instead, it was replaced by an ordinary wooden stick, which should be a substitute picked up from the Forbidden Forest.

This also caused him to walk with a limp.

Many students who saw this professor for the first time were scared.

Is the Care of Magical Creatures class so dangerous?

Some people began to back out, wondering if it was too late to change classes now.

Professor Kettleburn didn't care about the different looks of the little wizards.

This happens every year, and he's used to it.

Moreover, ever since he was hit by the unicorn, he has thought about retiring. This year is probably his last year at Hogwarts.

Professor Kettleburn found Kyle in the crowd and nodded with satisfaction.

"In the first class, let's learn about Bowtruckles!"

Professor Kettleburn opened the pocket on his clothes, and five or six creatures that looked like plant sprouts came out of it.

"Does anyone know it?"

Kyle raised his hand:

"Bowtruckles are magical animals with gentle personalities. They usually live on mountain pear trees or other tall trees. But if someone wants to destroy those trees, they will also attack them.

Unless you carry their favorite slugs with you."

"Absolutely right, Hufflepuff plus ten points!"

Kettleburn smiled and said, "The slugs are in the box next to them. Each person takes a small bag, and then get closer..."
