Magical Studies at Hogwarts

It was already 12 noon when the Charms class ended. As soon as the get out of class was over, the little wizards hurried to the auditorium to prepare for their meal.

Compared with last year, the get out of class time in the morning has also been extended a little later, which has shrunk the originally ample lunch break a lot, and suddenly became tense.

Ike was more pressing.

Class starts at 1 p.m., lunch time is very tight, and Ike also faces the situation of taking Divination, Ancient Runes and Muggle Studies at the same time.Although Hogwarts tries its best to consider each student's choice when arranging elective courses, elective courses are held during the two periods of 9 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. and 1 p.m. to 1:45 p.m., and there will be more classes throughout the week. Arrange two days of compulsory classes to better distribute students.

It can be said that except for students who choose all courses, other students will definitely not have course conflicts.

But there is no way. For Ike, the easiest way to get the right to use the time turner is this.

There was no way he could miss this opportunity.

At 12:50, Ike arrived on the eighth floor of the castle on time. At this time, many people were already waiting in front of the divination classroom.There are students from the four colleges, but except for Moratti and Padma, who are both Ravenclaws, Ike only knows the names of the others and is not very familiar with them.

This may be a common problem among Little Eagles. Most of them don't make friends with people from other colleges.

Well...this is Ike's impression, not Ravenclaw...

At 12:55, the trap door on the ceiling with the brass plaque inlaid with "Sybill Trelawney, Divination Teacher" opened on time, and a silver ladder fell down.The little wizards climbed up one after another while hugging "Pull the Fog to See the Future".

The classroom looks very small, with twenty small round tables arranged compactly, and two chairs placed next to each small round table. The distance between the chairs is very close, basically next to each other.

There are many lights in the room, all covered with crimson scarves, and the surrounding windows are also tightly blocked by curtains.There was a roaring flame in the fireplace, heating up the whole room.

Everyone was obviously frightened by the artificial sense of mystery, and they honestly found a seat to sit down.As soon as he sat down, he heard an indistinct voice.

"Welcome, it's so great to finally see you in the physical world!"

The voice that appeared was Professor Trelawney.She is very thin, wears very large glasses on her face, and is covered with all kinds of accessories. She makes noises as she moves around, giving people the impression that she is good at divination.

"Welcome to the Divination class!" Professor Trelawney said, "This is the most profound of all magical arts. I must say up front, if you don't have insight and enough talent, I can't do anything about it. Let you learn divination."

"Since ancient times, books have not been important in the field of divination..."

Ike quietly listened to Professor Trelawney deceiving others, but as he listened, he suddenly felt that what she said made sense.

This is indeed true. Most of the well-known fortune tellers in history were born. It is rare to hear of anyone who became a qualified fortune teller through study.Although in most cases, what Professor Trelawney said is not very reliable, when it comes to the general process and history of divination, it is very rigorous.

After a brief intimidation, Professor Trelawney asked everyone to divide into two groups and each get a teacup filled with tea.After drinking the tea, swish the tea leaves at the bottom of the cup three times, then tip it upside down on the plate. After the last drop of tea has seeped out, hand the cup to your partner for interpretation.

Ike's partner is Oliver Rivers from Hufflepuff. Both of them took each other's teacups and tried to interpret the shape of the tea leaves according to the book, trying to make a prediction that might be reliable.

This behavior caused Ike to have deep self-doubt. Even if he had a book as a reference, he could not figure out anything from it.

The whole class passed in Ike's deep self-doubt.After class, Ike left the classroom immediately and went straight into the Room of Requirement.

In his own space, Ike clamped the "A Simple Introduction to Ancient Magic Texts" and carefully turned the hourglass on the time converter.Just when he let go of his hand, the surrounding environment suddenly changed.

Ike felt himself retreating quickly. Countless blurry patterns passed before his eyes, and an inexplicable sound rang in his ears, as if many sounds were mixed together and played at an accelerated speed.

This was a strange and rapid change. Before Ike could even recover, everything around him stopped and remained the same as he was familiar with.

He opened the door and went out, heading straight to the ancient magic writing classroom. When he opened the door and went in, it was already full of people.

Stewart and Anthony took a seat for Ike and waved when they saw him coming.Ike smiled and waved, sitting next to the two of them.

"Why so late? You'll be late in a few minutes." Stewart asked.

"Something delayed me for a while, it's okay." Ike put the book on the table and replied with a smile.

The three of them chatted for a while, and then Professor Bathsheda Babulin, the professor of ancient magic texts, walked in.This is a woman who looks like a noble lady from the Middle Ages. Her clothes are very charming and elegant in the Victorian era.

She speaks in a very gentle voice and is used to using some old English words, which is very unfriendly to students. After all, no one now speaks those words that were spoken hundreds of years ago.

But the lecture was still very good. At least Ike listened. Even though he had mastered the content, he still gained something.

Self-study and being taught are, after all, two different concepts, and the effects are naturally different.

Soon it was time for get out of class to end again. Ike said hello to Stuart and Anthony, and then left in a hurry.

This time, he went directly to the right corridor on the fourth floor, which had been abandoned since Dumbledore used it as the starting point for the game in the first grade. Basically no one would come here.

After pushing open the broken wooden door and locking it, Ike turned the time turner around again.This time he was prepared in advance, but he still felt a little disappointed when it ended without feeling anything.

He went out as quickly as he came, and walked out of the room with some sadness. By the time he arrived in the Muggle Studies classroom, Ike had already recovered.

He had already been mentally prepared for this. If he could figure out the secret of the time turner so easily, there wouldn't be any new time turners created for centuries.

Time is amazing.
