Chapter 289: Course Selection
There was silence in the Great Hall, and many of the young wizards were startled by Dumbledore's serious expression, which the whitebearded headmaster would only show when the situation was urgent.
Perhaps noticing that his tone was a little heavy, Dumbledore's brow furrowed, and he smiled vaguely as he continued.
"Okay, that's all we need to remind you, let's change the topic to a little more pleasant, there are two new professors joining our roster this academic year!"
"First of all, it's Professor Lupin, who readily agrees to fill the void in the Defence Against the Dark Arts class." Dumbledore stepped out of the way, motioned for everyone to look at the teacher's seat, and took the lead in applauding.
Lupin nodded to the crowd, he actually wanted to say that he was not as happy as Dumbledore was in this "dangerous" position.
There was a burst of applause in the auditorium, and the young wizards in the audience looked at Lupin with scrutiny.
After all, Lupin's shabby dress was in stark contrast to the other well-dressed professors, and it was hard to believe that he was a capable man.
Dumbledore waited for the young wizards to receive the previous message before continuing.
"As for our second new professor, it's Rubeus Hagrid!"
Hagrid slammed to his feet, his massive body slamming the long table in front of him several centimeters.
Hagrid's cheeks flushed as he noticed that everyone was looking at him, and a pair of large, rough hands pressed against the table, and then lifted them up again, feeling that it was a little inappropriate to put them anywhere.
Dumbledore added.
"Since your original Magical Beasts Conservation teacher, Professor Kettleburn, retired at the end of last semester, I hired Rubeus Hagrid to take over the position, and he agreed to take the position in addition to his duties as a gamekeeper!"
Many of the young wizards looked at Hagrid in the teacher's seat in disbelief, even Harry and Ron were surprised, but that didn't stop them from expressing their excitement with loud applause.
Ivan was also clapping, knowing that the attack in the secret room last semester had cleared Hagrid's suspicions and given him the opportunity to be a professor.
It's also a bit of a coincidence that Professor Kettleburn is retiring at the end of the term, which makes Ivan wonder if Dumbledore is operating in the dark...
After listening to Dumbledore's rambling words, it was finally time for dinner.
The white-bearded old headmaster waved his wand lightly, and the next moment, a golden plate full of delicacies was placed on the long table of the four major academies, and there were all kinds of drinks in the empty goblet...
The young wizards, who had been waiting for a long time, feasted on their meals, talking about the two new professors and the purpose of the Dementors coming to Hogwarts.
When dinner was over, the prefects led the new students to their common rooms, while the third-year wizards stayed, and Professor McGonagall took a list and handed it out to everyone.
After Ivan took it, he found that it was a third-grade timetable.
In addition to the main courses of the previous school year, there are several more courses that you can choose to study or not, such as divination, ancient runes, Muggle studies, etc...
Before Professor McGonagall leaves, tell everyone to think about it tonight, they only have one night to make a decision, because she will have to collect the class schedule tomorrow morning!
"Looks like we're going to be busy again this school year." Ron stared at the timetable and couldn't help but grumble.
For Ron, who doesn't have good grades, adding a few more classes means that he will have to suffer a few more times at the end of the semester.
Harry agreed, and the two of them worked together to figure out which lessons would be easier.
First of all, Hagrid's Conservation of Magical Beasts class is definitely going to be attended, and with their relationship with Hagrid, it is impossible to get a high score in this class.
The remaining courses were more difficult to choose, Harry preferred to take Muggle studies because he grew up in the Muggle world, and Ron wanted to take a divination class...
The two discussed for a while, then turned to ask Ivan's opinion, but to their surprise, Ivan had already started ticking off the schedule.
"Ivan, did you choose so quickly?" Ron asked in surprise.
"Pick? Wouldn't it be nice to tick it all? Professor McGonagall didn't say you couldn't choose them all. Ivan shook his head and said casually.
Harry and Ron glanced at Ivan's timetable, and then stopped.
Professor McGonagall only said that it was recommended that each person choose two or three courses, and did not say that they could not take all of them, but normally no one would do that, right?
The two of them immediately looked at Ivan with strange eyes, and felt that Ivan was the only one in the whole grade who would do this.
Just as they were thinking this, Hermione's voice rang out behind them.
"Ivan is right! It never hurts to take an extra class! ”
Harry and Ron turned their heads to look at Hermione with the timetable ticked off on it, looking like Ivan, planning to choose all the classes.
The two were speechless, and they even shamefully wondered if they should also take more courses, but this thought only appeared in their minds for a moment, and was left behind by the two of them.
Campus life is so beautiful, how can we only think about learning in our hearts?
It's so scenic!
"By the way, you've taken so many classes, and there are always some classes that conflict, right? What will you do then? Harry asked in a strange voice.
Hermione was stunned and realized the problem, and after a moment of silence, she was about to speak, when she heard Ivan say.
"I think the professors will figure it out!"
"That's right! Otherwise, Professor McGonagall would have reminded us just now! Hermione nodded, and glanced at Ivan quietly, a little pleased that Ivan thought the same as herself.
Harry and Ron looked at the two of them helplessly, looked down at the class schedule again, and finally chose three elective courses despite not checking all the boxes like Ivan.
After making the difficult course selection, Ivan and the others, who were already exhausted along the way, returned to the dormitory together, and after a hurried wash, they never remembered it as soon as they touched the bed.
Ivan lay on the bed, thinking about the time turner that was about to arrive,
It seems that Professor McGonagall took the initiative to help Hermione apply in the original plane, and I don't know if Professor McGonagall will help her apply for it too...
If not, he'll have to ask Lupin to vouch for himself...
