Chapter 278 Elective Course
"Recover as before."
Andrew waved his magic wand, and the damaged parts of the table with broken legs in front of him began to stick together, restoring it to its unbroken appearance.
'Something's wrong...'
Andrew quickly stepped forward and pressed it - and sure enough, just as he expected, the legs of the table were easily broken.
'It shouldn't be...it's just a little curse from the first grade, but it's just like the description...it can't be repaired...'
He looked at the broken area carefully, but he couldn't see it. Here's why - old creases, an ordinary table, and a passable spell.
'This is a concept that is still being speculated on... There are too many unknowns in the magic world...'
After confirming that there was no progress in the Iron Armor Curse for the time being, he started to Sometimes he was studying small spells from the first grade - but this simplest repair spell stumped him from a conceptual point of view.
The reason is simple - magic cannot be fully explained by the magic world's observation methods.
Yes, there's no way to fully explain it, without good observational tools - but that's Andrew's idea.
The nature of magic power has not been explained until now. The most classic manifestation is that even the simplest first-year student can learn the repair spell, but in the hands of top wizards, there are things that cannot be repaired.
For example, the most classic magic wand, and the most outrageous and simple table and chair.
There are a bunch of poorly repaired tables and chairs in Hogwarts - there are currently two mainstream theories, which can explain it, but cannot completely explain it.
1. The tables and chairs were contaminated with magic power when they were with wizards for a long time, which made it more and more difficult to repair the magic power, until it was completely impossible to repair it.
2. It was imbued with magical power during many repairs, making the repairs more and more laborious, and ultimately irreparable.
Experiments have been done in Hogwarts before, and they all worked, but there is no way to explain the occasional problem of new tables and chairs that cannot be repaired the first time - nor can it explain the failure of some Muggle items Fixed issues.
In short, the simplest spells contain the greatest troubles.
'Transfiguration is easy, but it only has a short-term repair effect... As for permanent casting, it is even less worthwhile...'
He sighed, feeling that he was really drifting - but I copied a small iron armor spell, but I overestimated my ability and tried to study something that I still have no concrete conclusions about.
‘But it can’t be said that there are no benefits. At least after a few days of struggling with the spell, my proficiency in spells has improved, and the repair can be considered more refined... At least the time was not wasted. I can happily wait for the opening ceremony. ’
He finally gave up playing around with old tables and chairs as an after-school pastime, and began to prepare to welcome back the other people in the dormitory.
'It's the last semester, Percy will probably not be in the office next semester, Gryffindor will usher in a new group of prefects, and the students on duty will also change...'
'However, the class schedule has been confirmed in the past few days. Next semester, I will take elective courses on magical creatures, runes, and arithmetic and divination. ’
The elective courses are to choose two from five, including Care of Magical Creatures, Divination, Divination, Runes, and Muggle Studies. Of course, two is the minimum, so you can choose more than one.
The first two courses were recommended by Professor McGonagall, and the latter arithmetic and divination was a course he wanted to learn himself - he wanted to see how arithmetic works in the wizarding world, which might help him understand The basic logic of magic helps.
Of course, if it really doesn't work, he can only say goodbye with regret - it's impossible to give up on the other two doors anyway.
'Being number one in all subjects sounds really wonderful, but it is too luxurious. Even Percy wasted a lot of time - being number one in divination without the talent of divination is really... just for the certificate. . ’
He shook his head, filled out his course selection form, and then began to relax.
School starts tonight, but I will be busy tomorrow - the course selection receipts for students leaving school will be handed in tomorrow. I'm afraid he and Percy will have to work overtime to make statistics to ensure that the list is correct.
——"Andrew, we're back!"
Hal almost slammed open the door of the dormitory, "Two weeks of vacation, two weeks of news, yes "How about your course selection?"
"You chose three subjects," Andrew read over his choice, "What about you?"
"Three subjects, you are worthy of it. But I’m not bad either, I took Divination, Magical Creatures and Muggle Studies.”
?
Andrew's eyes widened - no, don't you plan to develop into journalism? Divination, do you think you are a magician?
“Don’t be so surprised. Magical creatures are a must. You can’t just capture any creature and say yes. Strange creatures are similar to Muggle research. I can’t put my email address or other Muggle things. Treat it as a news report?”
Hal looked matter-of-factly.
‘That makes sense, but what about divination? ’
"As for divination, because it's very cool. Maybe I can figure out where the news is happening. At worst, I'll give up if I don't have the talent..."
Well-founded.
While Hal was showing off his superb course selection skills, the other people also returned to the dormitory one after another.
Seus chose Muggle Studies and Runes, Kevin chose Numerology and Magical Creatures, and as for Bell, it was very magical that he chose Muggle Studies and Divination.
Andrew can understand the selection process, but Bell really doesn’t understand it.
But Bell smiled and said, "Ah, this is a very simple thing. The people on the team said that Muggle Studies is the easiest course to get a certificate, and so is Magical Creatures. But the professor has changed. I don’t know the temper of the new professor, so I can only choose divination.”
“Change the professor?”
The other three people exclaimed, especially Hal, who claims to be a personal reporter. , "The professor has changed, I don't know, Taylor, do you know?"
Andrew also had a surprised expression on his face.
Changed professor? Why didn't he know?
He has been on duty in the office these days and has not seen any reports of new professors being hired, and there are no relevant files to record?
Could it be a matter of those days of vacation?
That's not right, the files are endless, especially Professor Black didn't say anything about the latest news there - if there was a new professor, wouldn't there be news already?
Wait a minute - he suddenly remembered something.
It seems that the professor mentioned it - yes, it does happen!
The Professor of Care of Magical Creatures is about to retire, but the next professor hasn’t applied yet...
That should be the one.
"It seems that Andrew knows..."
"It seems to be true."
Don't keep looking at my face and making random guesses. I really don't care about this. Know…
But everyone became interested in the proficiency certificate. "As for the divination, it seems that the professor has a bad temper and likes to see students have bad luck. He is very easy to do in normal times. And during the graduation exam, you only need to understand the process and you can do it." I have the certificate, but it’s just not recognized by the outside world. People who are interested in the team say it sounds good..."
Okay...
Andrew rubbed his head. He now knows the positioning of divination and why it is normal on weekdays. This was part of the reason why Professor McGonagall disliked the professor so much.
