Chapter 349 Arithmetic Divination
When Andrew returned to the lounge, Bell had already occupied the C position of the entire dormitory.
To be precise, there were not only Andrew's roommates in the dormitory, but three or four people from the dormitory.
There is no doubt that the content of the discussion is this year's broom replacement plan for Ravenclaw - better brooms mean faster speed and a stronger team. Equivalently, the road to championship is just around the corner!
Although Bell is still a substitute member so far, this has not affected his enthusiasm at all, and Andrew's roommates are also talking about it as enthusiastically as if this year's Quidditch Cup is just around the corner.
"Andrew is back and he'll prove it, we have a whole new set of Sweep Seven Stars!"
When he saw Andrew, Bell's voice rose a lot, with uncontrollable excitement, "He has read the purchase order!"
"Yes, that's right," Andrew nodded, not intending to spoil the fun at all, "I saw it, the purchase order looked like that."
"Oh hoo!"
Cheers sounded in the dormitory, and everyone cheered almost at the same time.
Even though Andrew didn't pay that much attention to Quidditch matters, he could clearly feel the happiness of the others, so he happily joined in the celebration.
Although brooms cannot solve all problems, the college has provided the best conditions in terms of hardware - this is not Slytherin, and there are no wealthy parents who sponsor a whole team of high-end broomsticks in order to send their children to the team in advance. .
Maybe the atmosphere here is too cheerful, and there are even many senior students sneaking over to have fun - but the fun is far inferior to the fact that the home team suddenly got a batch of new brooms and so on. But the good news is truly related to me!
As a result, everyone's celebration time was delayed a lot. It wasn't until dinner time that everyone stopped and started heading to the auditorium as a group to prepare for the meal.
"By the way, where's Hal?"
Andrew asked, thinking of his absent roommate.
"Hal, hey, he's still cleaning the floor in the lounge over there. I hope he has time to eat."
There was a roar of laughter from the crowd, and then everyone started to have fun together.
——
"Hiss..."
The freshman in the distance opened his mouth wide, "You saw it over there."
"I saw that Taylor, with so many people - isn't he really a prefect?"
The freshmen had not even been on campus for a day, and they were already a little scared when they saw the large number of senior students. In addition, the image of a cool official that Andrew performed yesterday in accordance with the professor's instructions created a huge shadow.
"Prefect? Yesterday when he was taking people to solitary confinement, the prefects were sitting there and didn't dare to say anything. I heard that someone in Gryffindor called him the Grim Ripper..."
"Isn't that a legend that Muggles scare children?"
"But don't you think it's more terrifying?"
"Same."
Several freshmen gathered together, watching Taylor pulling a dark force, and then thinking about the horrific rumors they heard at the dinner table last night - Andrew's reputation began to decline rapidly.
——
‘Although my schedule is a little less regular after using the Time Turner, it’s really nice to be able to communicate with my classmates. ’
Andrew ignored his itchy nose and sat happily at the dining table. Although no useful information was exchanged - other students who want to know the content of elective courses usually rely on asking senior students and so on. There are also lazy people who only understand after taking the first class, but he knew about it before choosing the course. Eight.
For example, the arithmetic divination class that will be taken next will be taught by two professors, one is Professor Setima Victor, and the other is Professor Taylor who has the same surname as him.
The third-year professor is Professor Victor. This professor likes to wear a taller wizard's hat every day. Unlike Professor Taylor who is better at divination, Professor Victor's research tendency is more focused on mathematics.
The so-called arithmetic divination refers to a kind of divination that uses numbers to explain a person's character and destiny, or to predict the future.
Andrew has read some textbooks in this area. In fact, it is the result obtained by analyzing the name and date through various arithmetic methods-compared to ordinary divination, its logic is more important.
But that's it - even without taking a single class, Andrew can still be sure of the fact that he is indeed not suitable for learning arithmetic and divination, and he cannot understand why seven is a mysterious number.
Fortunately, it's not a big problem - the logic of arithmetic divination is so powerful that you can make appropriate predictions even if you don't understand it. It just requires you to have enough computing power.
'Thanks for the invention of Arabic numerals, but Latin must be learned again, just think of learning a strange mathematical application method. ’
While he was calculating, he listened as the senior class began to give crazy science tips to the lower class on how to deal with professors - there was no way to know which professor would be teaching this grade before choosing a course.
"Let me tell you, that number," the sixth grader came over, "Professor Victor is not teaching divination but mathematics. She really wants to give us all kinds of arithmetic problems, but Professor Taylor Something like divination.”
The sixth grader shook his head, "In short, study mathematics well. You should have been more careful when you applied for the exam last year. The arithmetic and divination class is really..."
He shook his head, looking at a loss for words, "In short, study hard after choosing a course. I hope you can pass it smoothly."
More than one person at the table gasped - after all, this is Ravenclaw, the name Arithmetic Divination means more knowledge than Divination, and there are not a few students signing up for the class.
——
"Ravenclaw adds three more points."
Professor Victor's voice sounded again.
The course is only halfway through - Andrew has already been brushing for thirteen minutes, and he doesn't feel any difficulty at all.
To be precise, Professor Victor looked extremely happy.
"Very good, very good. You are worthy of being a student of Ravenclaw. I should have a talk with Professor Flitwick. Your logic foundation is not very good."
As if to comfort him, Professor Victor looked at Miss Granger next to him and added, "Of course, Miss Granger, you also performed very well."
But Gryffindor got no points.
Yes, he didn't get a point - Andrew could only try not to look at others and keep a calm expression.
He made a small mistake yesterday - he read the wrong textbook, and read the content of the upper grades. However, his relatively good math skills allowed him to read a lot.
‘I feel like I’ll be able to take the exam after studying this year… without bragging. ’
‘Calm down, Andrew, don’t be too proud! ’
He persuaded himself thus.
