Connor's Hogwarts

Chapter 423 Arithmetic Divination Class

Butterfly effect means that in a dynamic system, a small change in initial conditions can drive a long-term huge chain reaction of the entire system.

An inconspicuous small action can cause a series of huge changes in response. The butterfly effect proves the complexity of the development of things.

Scientists will attribute the various variables in this series of changes to unfathomable chaotic coincidences...

But wizards are different. Wizards will use mysterious powers to deduce from a small amount of information the inevitable results that will result when things develop to a certain stage.

This mysterious power is called divination.

Although this thing sounds very metaphysical, very idealistic, and very imprecise (it is true), but no one can deny its role, because the facts are there, and divination can indeed calculate the future.

Hogwarts offers divination classes and arithmetic divination classes.

As we all know, there have always been various prophecies in the wizarding world, and these prophecies all came true in the end, but prophecy is an ability that only special wizards with the blood of the prophets can possess.

Prophecy is also a kind of divination in essence, the difference is that prophecy is a special ability to glimpse real fragments from the long river of time based on tiny variables and at the cost of life.

So the bloodlines of prophets are generally very short-lived, because they are using their lives as voyeurs.

In short, it is a special talent, if you don’t have it, you don’t have it. Ordinary people can’t peep into the future without [Sight], so for the vast majority of wizards, arithmetic and divination is the real divination. God stick.

After a school year of study, Connor already had a clearer understanding of arithmetic and divination. He was able to make the [Marauder's Map of the Forbidden Forest] by his own ability, but even he didn't dare to say that he was right. How profound is the knowledge of arithmetic and divination.
Connor's fourth-grade elective courses were still arithmetic, divination and ancient runes.

Ancient rune is to some extent a foreign language, or an incomplete foreign language. After learning the existing research results, there is actually not much left to learn, and subsequent learning depends on personal research and accumulation , so Connor planned not to take this course after the fifth grade, but to choose the protection of magical animals.

But arithmetic divination is not good. Although Connor has been able to make the Marauder's Map by himself, he still feels that he has not yet started.

Arithmetic and divination is definitely the most complicated course at Hogwarts. There are no other subjects. Last year, thirteen people took this course. This year, there are only six people left, and all of them are Connor's acquaintances...

Today is the day when the fourth grade students have their first arithmetic and divination class this semester.

Settima Victor, the professor of Arithmetic and Divination at Hogwarts, is an unsmiling middle-aged witch. Last year, she had a very good relationship with Connor because of her research on magic scrolls.

However, the professor's complexion was not very good at this time.
"This semester, seven students have left us." Professor Victor said skeptically. I'm surprised, but it seems that those students who chose this course with impure purposes have already quit."

Speaking of which, Professor Victor looked at Connor meaningfully, because most of those who ran away were girls with "impure purposes" for him
"But I believe that you are all good students who are good enough, have enough confidence in yourself, and have a long-term vision."

Professor Victor changed the subject, looked at the people under the podium with relief, and even showed a rare smile: "I have great expectations for you, and I also believe that you will have a bright future .”

The oppressive atmosphere was swept away, and the six students looked at each other and smiled, understanding everything.

The six people under the stage are the twins, Cedric, Alice, Connor, and Emily. Well, they are all old buddies from the fraternity, and they are obviously a big class at school but turned into a small training class. , enough to see how high the threshold of this course is.

"Our course is quite special. There have been very few people who have chosen the course over the years, and because the students who can persist are relatively good, so our Arithmetic and Divination course is the only course that will be taught together in the fourth grade—— —Oh, I think you should have heard that the schedules for the sixth and seventh grades are actually the same"

Hogwarts graduating students are very free. They have the right to choose whether to go to class or not. The little wizards who reach the seventh grade are basically freed. What certificate you want to take and what courses you take are all up to you.

So the seventh graders will be very busy when they are busy, and they will be very idle when they are idle. After all, the teacher brings them in, and their cultivation depends on the individual, and the professors can't help the students much.

In fact, in the final analysis, it is because the education system of the wizarding world is not perfect. Wizarding schools only focus on basic education, and advanced magic training courses can only be taught by professors alone. "Hobby" too.

And if you have to say it, the basic education at Hogwarts has not been done well. For example, if Snape, a gloomy potions master, is to teach those little wizards in the first and second grades, apart from scaring the crying children and bringing them Apart from the unforgettable psychological shadow, Connor couldn't think of any other effects.
In fact, the courses in the first and second grades can be taught by the professor's assistant or teaching assistant. Can't you give the little wizards who are just starting out a smile and be kind and guide the way?If Snape's self-important greasy bat were to take care of the children, the result would only make everyone unhappy, and the quality of teaching was ridiculously poor.

But Connor is soft-spoken... Well, in fact, he is now considered a "big man" with weight. He mentioned this to Dumbledore before, but after that, Dumbledore only looked at him. The light of Gallon was left, and Connor never mentioned it again.

Heh, the distribution of educational resources is uneven, and there is a serious shortage of teachers. Just like this, Hogwarts can still be rated as one of the best magic schools in the wizarding world. Connor can only express this. This ruins the wizarding world and eats jujube pills...

"I will give you the basic principles of all the courses before Easter, and you will have classes with the seniors of the fifth grade after the Easter holiday."

"Woc, Niubility! I love this!"

The twins clapped their hands excitedly. The two of them had a strange obsession with growing up quickly. They really wanted others to treat them as adults. Being able to take classes with the seniors was a great g-spot for both of them.

Professor Victor glanced at the twins lightly, but he was not very angry. The professor walked back to the podium and began to lecture:
"Now take out your textbooks, what we are going to learn today is how to use Tarot cards correctly..."

----

Six people, each with a table, each table was covered with books, and a dozen quill pens were writing and copying notes at the same time.

"...Okay, that's the end of today's class. Go back and sort out all the questions I asked, write a paper, draw up a topic yourself, hand it in next week, and get out of class is over."

Victor glanced at the students who were seriously taking notes, nodded, and packed up his things before leaving the classroom.

Seeing this, Connor quickly threw the quill away, stood up and chased after him. The discarded quill behind him could only move sensiblely and continue to take notes dutifully.

"Professor, Professor Victor, wait a minute—"

"Oh? Connor? Is there anything else you can do?" Seeing that Connor was chasing after him, Professor Victor unconsciously turned a bit more "kindly". She still treats Connor, a good student, very much Favorite.

"Professor, do you have time tonight?" Connor directly explained his purpose.

"Tonight... I'm still working on the subject of magic scrolls, and I'm not too busy. What's the matter?"

"Yes, I do have something to ask for your help."

Connor nodded, and said with a smile: "Professor, why don't you put aside the matter of the magic scroll? I have a new topic here, and I believe you will be very interested..."

"Oh? What kind of new subject?"

"This is a new subject related to numbers—"

"—about 0 and 1."
