International students at Hogwarts

Chapter 235 Final Holiday and Course Selection (two in one for subscription)
After finishing the dueling club, Lu Ren left the auditorium in a hurry, joined Lockhart and hurried to his office, where he had to wait until the expiration date of the Polyjuice Potion expired.But what he didn't notice was that Hermione followed him all the time, and when she saw Lu Ren, played by Lockhart, come out of the waiting room next door, there was a thoughtful look on her face.

The moment he returned to the office, Lu Ren began to complain. He thought Lockhart's behavior of challenging Snape was too reckless, but Lockhart didn't care.

But before they could chat a few words, there was a knock on the office door.

Lockhart said excitedly: "It must be my fans, the performance just now was so exciting!" Then he asked Lu Ren to receive his fans.But when Lu Ren opened the door, he was a little dumbfounded. It turned out that Hermione was standing outside the door!

After Hermione walked into the room, they chatted slowly with the two. Gradually, Lockhart and Lu Ren started to sweat: because Hermione had no intention of leaving at all, and the time for the Polyjuice Potion was almost over. arrive!
Lockhart spoke several times, urging Hermione to leave, but she changed the topic all the time, and she also invited Lockhart to go back with him, which Lockhart naturally dared not agree to, in case he was in Gryffindor If the common room shows its original shape, then the drama he worked so hard to direct will be exposed.

If you didn't return, Hermione didn't intend to move. In the end, everyone could only stare and stare until Lockhart gradually returned to his original appearance.

Lockhart: ...

Hermione also showed a triumphant smile: "Sure enough, Lu Ren, were you the one who fought those two battles just now?"

Lockhart was extremely anxious, and wanted to take out his wand to cast the Forgetting Curse to solve the problem, but he was shocked to find that his wand was still in Lu Ren's hand!
"Ah, ha, yes, it's like this, Lu Ren came to me, hoping to get a chance to practice..." Lockhart had no choice but to stammer and try to lie.

But Hermione has clearly doubted this, and the image of Lockhart in her mind is collapsing.When a person is suspicious of another person, everything that person does is suspicious.Now Hermione got rid of the fan filter and discovered all kinds of suspicious things about Lockhart.

In the end, Lockhart had no choice but to move out the "serious injury theory", which was considered to temporarily appease Hermione.The three of them just sat in the office like this, waiting for Lu Ren's transformation period to end.Lockhart also hid in a corner to answer fan letters.

Finally, after Lu Ren changed back to his original form, he and Hermione left Lockhart's office. It was already early morning.Before leaving, Lu Ren also told Lockhart to bring him the Firebolt as soon as possible, and also took a copy of Lockhart's experience on the Forgetting Curse.After they ran back to the Gryffindor lounge in a hurry, Lu Ren had the opportunity to explain the ins and outs of the matter to Hermione.

"What!" Hermione's mouth was long enough to stuff a whole egg in. She really couldn't imagine that the legendary Lockhart was actually a big liar!Her three views are about to collapse.Before, she was only puzzled by Lockhart's various weird behaviors, but she really didn't expect this situation.

"How could this be!" Hermione's face flushed red with anger, "I'm going to explain this to Professor Dumbledore!" But Lu Ren stopped her, and now they don't have any evidence in their hands. Bullido is useless.Lu Ren couldn't figure out what Dumbledore meant.He probably knew from the beginning that Lockhart was a liar because of the stories in his biography, two of which were experienced by two of Dumbledore's friends!
However, Lu Ren thought of someone at this time.

So he hurriedly found a piece of parchment and wrote an anonymous report letter.After he sealed the envelope, he couldn't help admiring his own wit.

"Use magic to defeat magic!" Lu Ren said triumphantly to Hermione.Hermione was confused: What magic?Is it a special spell?
Lu Ren's method was actually very simple. He just disclosed this matter to one person: Rita Skeeter.I believe this news is enough to impress Rita, let this gossip-obsessed paparazzi confront the strongest liar in the magic world.

……

For the next half of the school year, nothing special happened. Hogwarts returned to calm, and Lockhart never held a duel club again—because Lu Ren made it clear that even if he was to fight for him next time, he would definitely lose. Yes, because my own operations are already well known by the professors, these tricks are no longer effective if I fight again.

Half a month later, Lu Ren also got a Firebolt, and with this broom and the PengPeng-TaTa tactic, Gryffindor defeated the opponent by an overwhelming advantage and took the lead in the standings.

The days passed day by day, and soon, the Easter holiday came.During the Easter holidays, the second graders had something new to think about: they were about to start choosing their third grade courses, which really needed to be taken seriously.I don't know how many students failed because they chose inappropriate subjects.

They are now required to keep all the subjects they have taken, and then study at least two electives from Arithmancy, Ancient Runes, Divination, Care of Fantastic Beasts and Muggle Studies.It is worth mentioning that the alchemy that Lu Ren had great expectations for was not open.This course is only available after the fifth grade, and it is not a resident course - because this course is too advanced, and the current alchemy masters in the magic world are almost extinct, and this knowledge will soon be lost.

If you have a strong willingness to learn, the school may help you contact the master alchemist to see if the master is willing to teach you...

This is already a lot like a doctor in the Muggle world.

On a sunny afternoon, Lu Ren and Hermione went to the Black Lake to bask in the sun, feed the fish in the lake by the way, and discuss the issue of class registration.

"What classes do you want to apply for?" Hermione asked Lu Ren while tearing up the toast and throwing it into the lake.

"It depends on your plans for the future. Percy recommended divination to me," Hermione nodded in agreement. Lu Ren watched the toast soaked up water and was dragged into the bottom of the lake by a tentacle: "A lot Little wizards say Muggle studies is stupid, but I personally think it's important that wizards should have a thorough understanding of non-magical society, especially if they want to work with strong Muggle ties For example - Mr Weasley. Ron's brother Charlie has always liked the outdoors, so he chose Care of Fantastic Beasts. So choosing a class is very subjective."

"So which classes do you want to sign up for?" Hermione put her hands on her knees, leaning her back against a big tree.

"I will report what you report."

"What if I want to report them all?"

"Then I'll report it all."

Hermione happily took out a roll of parchment from under the robe, and signed her name on each subject.

"We Muggle-born students, why do we choose Muggle Studies?" The only one among the five electives that didn't impress him was this Muggle Studies. He felt that young wizards born in the wizarding world should take this course. Classes are taken as compulsory.Because for the wizarding world, understanding Muggles is an urgent matter, and as a result, this course has now become a place for wizards of all kinds to earn points...

"I want to see how Muggles are viewed from the official wizarding point of view." Hermione thought for a while and said, "I don't think there are subjects that don't make sense."

It's still Hermione who has a high awareness. Unlike Lu Ren, the purpose of applying for classes is not pure.

"Counting the previous compulsory courses, we have registered for a total of twelve courses in this way. I feel that there may be conflicts in time." Hermione picked up the parchment, looked at it for a while and said.

"Let's try to report first? Since the professors didn't prohibit this method of reporting, then there is no problem. The professors will find a way to solve it, and the worst is to drop a class at that time."

Then the two began to discuss which course to withdraw if they wanted to withdraw.

After discussing for a while, there was no result. Lu Ren started to make plans for the summer vacation. After thinking about it, he asked Hermione, "Do you have any plans for this summer vacation?"

"Not yet, what's the matter?" Hermione raised her head, looked at Lu Ren, made eye contact with Lu Ren, and quickly looked away like an electric shock.

"Actually, I want to travel to Egypt this summer. I wonder if you want to go with me?" Lu Ren hesitated for a while, but still told his summer plan.This summer vacation, he didn't want to mix with the magic world any more. Keep away from any student projects and tutors. He just wanted to take a summer vacation.So he decided to travel, and after careful consideration, Lu Ren decided to travel to Egypt.

The main reason for choosing Egypt is that Lu Ren has never been here in his previous life, and Lu Ren himself is only interested in places with profound historical background. He has always been very interested in North Africa, an ancient country, so it is natural to have the opportunity now. Going to Egypt to play around.

What's more, Egypt's entry policy is also very suitable for him. As a tourist country, Egypt's visa policy is very loose. For people from the Central Plains, as long as they have a return/going ticket to a third country, or a 2000-star or 4-star hotel equivalent to $5 The hotel reservation confirmation letter of a star hotel can enjoy the visa-free system. For the British, they can get a 30-day visa on arrival when they arrive at any Egyptian port of entry.

So Lu Ren felt that the plan to travel to Egypt with Hermione was feasible.It is really a bit of a loss not to take a trip here.

"Is it just the two of us?" Hermione hesitated, it was the first time she had gone so far alone, and it was with a boy, which made her hesitate but also excited.

"It should be just the two of us, but maybe we will meet other classmates. Ron's eldest brother Bill is also working in Egypt." Lu Ren remembered that the Weasleys also went to Egypt this summer vacation.

"Okay." Hermione thought about it for a while, and agreed to Lu Ren.

"Yeah!" Lu Ren happily jumped up from the lawn, but hit his head on a branch beside him.All of a sudden, the lake was full of laughter.

……

Finally, the second year of school came to an end in the blink of an eye, and the passage of time was like magic, and sometimes what happened ten years ago is still as vivid as what happened just yesterday.

With advanced tactics and brooms, the Gryffindor team swept the other opponents and won the Quidditch Cup consecutively. As for the Academy Cup, with the [-] points earned by Lu Ren's efforts to turn the tide, Gryffindor won the championship all at once. Leaving other colleges behind, and finally defending the Academy Cup.With both cups, Gryffindor finally became the biggest winner.

If there is any regret this semester, it must be that the final exam was held as scheduled.

You know, in the original book, in order to celebrate the successful resolution of the Chamber of Secrets incident, the school decided to cancel the final exam!And this benefit will naturally not appear due to Lu Ren's premature resolution of the secret room incident...

However, Lu Ren also discovered an interesting fact: Hermione in the original book was very disappointed when she learned that the final exam was cancelled, but she was petrified from the first Saturday after Easter!She has been absent from class for more than a month, but she is still looking forward to the final exam. Is this the world of a top student?

Lockhart's old background was finally exposed by Rita Skeeter. This news quickly occupied the front page of the "Daily Prophet" for three days. The entire British wizarding world was in an uproar. Two, it is actually known as "the conscience of media people", and this gossip paparazzi has revealed a slight possibility of whitewashing.

On the busiest days, letters rained down on Hogwarts from parents who didn't want a liar to teach their children.In addition to the parents, there are still fans who are extremely angry. Lockhart himself has been cursed by the letter several times and never opened the letter again. noisy.

Even successfully hosting the Dueling Club could not restore Lockhart's reputation, and in the end he was dismissed and became another victim of the teaching position of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

But it's a good thing for a little wizard like Harry.

In a blink of an eye, they were going home on the Hogwarts Express.Lu Ren, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Alice occupied a separate box. Interestingly, everyone in the box got more or less money in the Quidditch game.Along the way, they played Crackling Blast - a wizarding card game in which cards can explode at any moment, a game popular among young wizards at Hogwarts, setting off the bottom of the box Harry also left his home phone number for those present, hoping that friends would call him during the holidays.

The Hogwarts Express gradually slowed down and finally stopped.

"What are your plans for the holiday?" Alice asked after catching up with Lu Ren. At this time, they got off the train, joined the crowded crowd, and walked slowly towards the enchanted partition wall. Very free!"

"Secret!" Lu Ren showed a bright smile. He thought about the world of two people, and didn't want to have a threesome. Then he quickly quickened his pace and walked through the exit, returning to the Muggle world.
