Chapter 236
The only choice
Chapter 236 The only choice
Professor Flitwick waved his wand, and a stack of white papers scattered and flew towards each student.
Wade reached out to take the paper in front of him and saw a list of elective courses, class times and locations, and a brief introduction.
There is also a section at the bottom that lists what courses are required for various careers.
The classroom was buzzing with discussion.
"Don't worry, kids, don't worry."
Professor Flitwick waved his arms and said, "Any hasty decision can easily lead to mistakes. Think it over carefully when you get back. And... have a happy holiday."
……
"Hey, I'm definitely not going to be happy this holiday." In the umbrella room, Theo said with a sad face: "My family members are all writing to me, giving me suggestions on my elective courses."
"Me too." Neville said nervously, "They all say different things and I don't know who to listen to."
"Why don't we sort out all your family's opinions?" Wade suggested, "Although other people's opinions are good, we don't need to accept them all. We just need to pick out the parts that are most beneficial to us."
"Yeah!"
Neville almost couldn't wait to take out all his letters and looked at Wade expectantly.
To be honest, he trusted Vader more than his own family in this regard.
Grandmother Longbottom had high expectations for Neville, which put him under great pressure. However, his uncle and other relatives were pessimistic and believed that Neville would win as long as he could pass two or more exams and get OWLs.
But Wade will consider his level and his actual needs.
Afterwards, Theo, Michael, Padma and others also sorted out the opinions of their parents and elders.
After asking for everyone's opinions, Harry also pulled Ron over, worried that he would make the wrong choice.
Ron felt a little awkward, and said in a deliberate tone: "To be honest, I just want to give up Potions class."
"Me too," said Harry sympathetically.
"But you have to take all the original subjects. Otherwise... you can just take a few easy ones." Michael said with emotion.
Vid pulled up a huge whiteboard and made a table on it -
Ancient magic runes.
Divination.
Arithmetic divination.
Care of magical creatures.
Muggle Studies.
Neville took a letter and read it briefly before saying, "My uncle said that divination is very difficult to learn and requires memorizing a lot of charts. He told me not to waste time on it because I won't be able to learn it."
Wade wrote behind the arithmetic divination: [High difficulty. Requires: strong memory and strong arithmetic ability].
"He also said not to learn ancient magic words - you need to memorize so many words and pronunciations. If I take this course, I won't even be able to write the number '0' - is that true, Vader?" Neville asked.
Vader smiled and said, "It's not that exaggerated, but the spelling of '0' is Demiguise, the same as Invisibility, and the pronunciation is..."
He pronounced it in a very awkward way, which sounded very different from English.
Then, Vader continued, "Many characters in ancient magic script have more than two pronunciations, and the choice should be based on the actual application. In addition, the writing direction of the characters is also different. Sometimes the writing direction will change while writing, and this change will also affect the meaning it expresses."
Neville was shocked: "It sounds too complicated." He crossed out ancient magic runes and arithmetic divination from his list without hesitation.
Almost all the other auditors also secretly decided not to take these two courses, only Hermione seemed unaffected.
"I have a letter here."
Theo also pulled out a yellowed envelope.
"Oh, it was written by my cousin - she said that if you want to get a certificate, divination is the best choice."
Neville hesitated: "My grandmother said it was a lie and told me not to choose it."
George held the belief Ron received and said, "...For those who are truly gifted, divination is a very wonderful and useful subject...Wow, predicting the future."
"This must have been written by Percy! He's at school, and he actually wrote a letter!"
Fred pulled it over and saw that it was indeed the case. He then hung it on George's shoulder and laughed, "He actually said... I don't think you have the talent for this... Hahaha..."
Ron snatched the letter back with a blushing face and said, "Percy has taken all the courses, he must know the situation very well! It will be more useful for me to ask him than to ask you two!"
"Oh?" Fred raised an eyebrow: "So what 'useful' advice did Percy give you?"
Ron was speechless.
In fact, after analyzing a lot of subjects, Percy finally picked out two subjects for him that were easy to get marks in and would be useful in the future.
Care of Magical Creatures and Muggle Studies.
[The Care of Magical Creatures course is relatively interesting, and the exam is relatively easy to pass. As for Muggle Studies, I think with your father's influence, it shouldn't be difficult for you...]
Percy's advice was very pertinent, but after reading his letter, Ron secretly crossed out Muggle Studies in his mind and wanted to choose Divination.
Because Percy said in his letter:
[This is a meaningless course. Professor Trelawney will give high marks to students who are willing to make up nonsense, without considering whether the students have actually made a prophecy... In fact, I doubt she is half as good as she boasts...]
[I chose this course just to get the honor of getting twelve OWLs certificates, but for you, I don’t think this is necessary...]
Ron noticed the review "Give high score casually" and immediately listed it as his first choice.
But saying this was like admitting that he was stupid. He hesitated for a long time, and did not express his own thoughts, but just objectively described Percy's opinions on several courses.
Wade combined everyone's letters and added more details to the form. When the last letter was sorted out, almost every confused student had a clear idea.
Vader put down the chalk and said, "Although the opinions vary, some parts are actually the same."
"Arithmetic Divination and Ancient Magic Runes are both very difficult and require a lot of recitation and memorization. The other three courses are relatively much easier."
"Care of Magical Creatures is about practice, and Muggle Studies has a lot to memorize. Divination is easy to get points, but the professor doesn't think highly of it, so I probably won't learn much useful stuff from this course."
"Have you decided what to choose?"
"What classes are you going to take, Wade?" Michael asked.
Vader smiled and said, "Of course...all of them."
This is the only option for him.
The only chance...to get a time manager.
