Chapter 723: Course Selection

The sky was already bright.

The hospital wing was still very quiet.

Xiang Xien's hospital bed was wrapped in a whole circle of candies.

It was unknown from when it started, but wizards throughout Hogwarts seemed to know he had a preference for sweets.

Therefore, these Chocolate Frog boxes and drinks could no longer all be piled on the table and had to be placed on the floor.

Xiang Xien organized them well, not blocking the aisle, so Madam Pomfrey let them be.

Now, through the paper shell of a Chocolate Frog, what was awakened along with Xiang Xien by the faint morning mist was a peculiar photograph.

This was a photo Xiang Xien carried with him; it was originally a Christmas hall group photo taken by Jia Siting, but now some magical magic seemed to have been added to it.

When other wizards looked at it, there was nothing unusual about the photo, but when Xiang Xien stared at it, some originally vivid figures faded in color.

Headmaster Buliduo's gray-white eyes remained kind, and Professor Sineipu's gray-white robes remained full of pressure.

In every place, some gray-white people would appear. No one knew what this meant, and no one knew the intention behind casting this magic.

On this bright morning, a squirrel darted out from Professor Qiluo's colorful body; Xiang Xien watched it sniff around quietly, and finally, it ran back into the photo.

The learning of the Patronus Charm gave him some insights; as the sunlight climbed onto the stone wall of the hospital wing, illuminating the photo in his hand.

He specifically observed the extra figures in the photo.

The handsome yet weathered Sirius was drinking red wine, and Lu Ping, wearing new clothes, was holding a goblet, the red liquid sloshing just like that...

The only strange thing was that compared to Xiang Xien in the photo, their figures presented a dilapidated gray-white color.

The Hogwarts bell rang, and Xiang Xien put away the photo.

The Patronus Charm revealed some of his thoughts; these thoughts were originally hidden, but now a corner was revealed.

This was exactly what he was concerned about...

Did the endings of these wizards deserve the suffering they had once endured?

As for him, he had already gained enough at Hogwarts.

The sky was bright, and Xiang Xien also walked out of the hospital wing.

Madam Pomfrey notified him that he should be discharged.

In the corridor, Xiang Xien was still practicing wandless magic; he commanded books to float in the air, sensing the techniques of using magic within them.

After all, magic without the support of a wand is "barbaric."

This word was Xiang Xien's summary; after rigorous comparative experiments, he found that magic released without a wand had greater destructive power but was also more prone to losing control.

Just like the magic displayed by young wizards during periods of magical outbursts and loss of control, it was irritable and difficult to tame.

And when magic loses control, it does not necessarily operate according to the wizard's will.

Therefore, this requires the wizard to have stronger mental power and more mature techniques.

Under Xiang Xien's practice, or rather under the guidance of the Wenkelao Society, Xiang Xien had only superficially mastered two spells.

One was the Levitation Charm, and the other was the Scourgify spell.

They were among the spells Xiang Xien was most familiar with.

In the morning, because it was very early, the corridor was quiet, and Xiang Xien's notebook floated out, with some more handwriting added to the top layer.

【Improve four spell proficiencies to Master】, 【Verify if Legilimency can be stacked】.

This was Xiang Xien's recent plan, and also a necessary plan.

After all, in the Wizarding World, wizards constantly improving their own magical strength is the most important thing.

He looked with slight satisfaction at the Levitation Charm's proficiency rising by another three hundred points, and then subconsciously raised his head, bumping into two familiar wizards at the door of the Transfiguration classroom.

"Professor Marcus Marcus Maige, is this true? Can I choose all the courses?"

A smile that could not be suppressed was on Xiang Hemin's lips.

"Miss Granger, you are a model student of Hogwarts; this is what you deserve."

Professor Marcus Marcus Maige's lips formed a taut line, her expression serious yet softened.

"Oh, model student, Professor, I..."

Xiang Hemin seemed about to say a name, but suddenly stopped at the end.

What was she thinking? The magical object she could apply for, the other party might have already obtained it...

"What?"

Professor Marcus Marcus Maige asked.

"Nothing, Professor, I mean this is simply too great!"

Xiang Hemin let out an excited low cry.

"I agree, Miss Granger, I hope you can use it well."

Professor Marcus Marcus Maige turned and left.

Xiang Hemin looked at the professor's back, then looked at the grass outside the window where white snow was melting, put her hand in front of her face and blew a puff of hot air, then left with a face reddened by the last snowstorm.

Xiang Xien took a thoughtful look and also left the corridor.

When he arrived at the Great Hall, it was already boiling.

Xiang Xien looked at the notice board, which stated that the Hogsmeade week was approaching.

No wonder the wizards were becoming increasingly active...

He thought, and noticed that some new content had been added—course selection was coming soon.

Xiang Xien was stunned.

As everyone knows, Hogwarts courses are divided into compulsory and elective courses. Xiang Xien had been studying compulsory courses for nearly two years, but elective courses would only be officially opened to young wizards in their third year.

On one hand, this is because young wizards have limited energy; on the other hand, it is because Hogwarts School is waiting for the young wizards' magical abilities to gradually mature.

"Alright, everyone. Listen to me.

Hogwarts third-year has five elective courses available to choose from, which are Care of Magical Creatures, Ancient Runes, Muggle Studies, Arithmancy, and Divination.

I found a senior from Hufflepuff to understand the general idea of these elective courses and organized them into notes."

After Xiang Xien sat down, Jia Siting quickly took out several notebooks like a magic trick.

"Too great, Jia Siting! I must say, we need to be cautious; this will affect our entire future."

She finished praising with slight excitement, and then said to Harry and Luo En and the others.

At this time, they were all carefully studying the new course list, making marks on it.

"Thank you, Jia Siting, you are always thoughtful. But I just want to drop Potions."

Harry said.

"Impossible,"

Luo En said dejectedly,

"All the original subjects must be taken, otherwise I would have thrown away Defense Against the Dark Arts long ago."

"But that course is very important!"

Xiang Hemin said in surprise.

"Like the way Luohate teaches, I don't think so."

Luo En said,

"Except for not letting the pixies out, I didn't learn anything from him.

Remember? What indispensable roles did Mr. Green's guidance play in Luohate's growth process."

After he finished speaking, several people could not help but laugh.

Jia Siting and Xiang Hemin even quietly exchanged a glance with Xiang Xien.

In Xiang Hemin's eyes was triumph; they had exposed Luohate's crimes to the public.

Jia Siting was gentle; he had done the right thing. ===== CHAPTER 724 =====
