Chapter 382 Participation is important

On the night of the first day of school, the Gryffindor common room was very lively. Students from all grades gathered here, discussing the Triwizard Tournament in small groups, and whether they could deceive Dumbledore and forcibly Sign up to compete.

Once the seventeen-year-old age limit was announced, Dumbledore's support among students plummeted, almost catching up with Snape. Although everyone knew that Dumbledore did not decide this matter alone, everyone could not help but blame the principal.

Probably "Why don't you dare to fight with the minister?" That's probably what he was thinking.

This age line brushes aside most students, leaving these people with no chance to register. Only seventh graders and some sixth graders can register.

Like Ada and Cedric, who are in sixth grade, they can sign up for the competition. Both were born in 1977, but when Hogwarts opened in 1988, they were both under eleven years old, so their enrollment was postponed to 1989.

Ada will turn seventeen in October, and she will be able to sign up then, while Cedric will turn seventeen earlier than Ada.

Hermione's enrollment situation was similar to Ada's, but she was born in 1979. Even if her birthday passed before the registration deadline, she was still not seventeen years old.

In the common room, Ada and the twins were sitting in armchairs in the corner, with Angelina and others beside them. Harry, Ron, and Hermione were also there. Everyone is discussing what measures Dumbledore will take to prevent students under the age of seventeen from participating.

"Who will be the impartial judge of who is a warrior?" Harry asked.

"I don't know," Fred turned to Ada and asked, "Didn't Dumbledore tell you? He even told you that he was going to hold the Triwizard Tournament."

"I said it, but that doesn't mean I didn't say it." Ada recalled her conversation with Dumbledore. "Dumbledore said that the selection of the warrior would be decided by 'a magic item,' but he did not reveal the item. What is it?"

George waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, whether it's a person or a magic item, as long as we fool him."

"Yes, I think one or two drops of age-increasing agent will work. How about any of you who are interested?" George glanced at the people around him, hoping that someone would muddle through with the two brothers.

Hermione said in a very worried tone: "But so many people died! The Triwizard Tournament is very dangerous!"

"Yes, it's dangerous," Fred said nonchalantly, "but what's the fun in life if you don't have a sense of adventure?"

"Besides, we just signed up, not really participating," George said. "Although it's uncomfortable to admit this, there is a high probability that the female student union president will be selected...ah! Why are you hitting me!"

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to extend my hand and accidentally touched you." Ada said unapologetically.

You are telling lies with your eyes open. There was such a loud "pop" just now. If you say you were careless, who would believe it? George held the back of his head and looked at Ada sadly.

Did that "pop" sound good just now? What sounds good is a good start.

"Ron, don't say we don't miss you, do you want to try it together!" Fred encouraged Ron like a little devil, "The important thing is to participate. Think about your brave behavior and those who usually treat you What will a girl who doesn’t answer you think of you?”

"Snapped"!

"Why did you hit me? I didn't mention the female student council president!" Fred also covered the back of his head. It sounded like a good head.

Although Ada has been single for many years, she still has some basic eyesight, and she has already seen some clues. At this time, Fred mentioned other girls to Ron, could he still talk a little more? He really deceived his brother in every aspect, leaving no blind spots.

"Do I need a reason to beat you two?" Ada looked at Fred and George respectively and said matter-of-factly.

"Why don't you need a reason to hit us?" Fred and George asked in unison.

"do you need?"

"Don't you need it?"

…

The discussion on the first night of school came to an end with Ada and the twins' Ouroboros-like "Do you need it" and "Don't you need it?" Probably many people in Hogwarts tonight will have a beautiful dream, in which they win the Triwizard Tournament.

The next morning the storm subsided, but the ceiling of the auditorium was still gloomy. Ada, Fred and George were eating breakfast and comparing the semester's class schedule.

After passing the ordinary wizard level examination in fifth grade, Hogwarts students in sixth grade have to re-select courses, and the selection is between professors and students.

Professors will set the admission threshold for advanced classes in their subject based on their own requirements.

For example, Snape's admission standard for Potions class is "O", which means that only students with excellent test scores can continue to study Potions class.

The entrance threshold for the Potions class is very high. It would be good to have more than a dozen people from the four colleges combined. Of course, there are also some with lower entry barriers, such as Herbalism and Charms.

Professors set the bar for entry, and students choose courses based on their grades and schedule their own time. It feels a bit like the division of arts and sciences, but magic cannot be discussed purely in terms of arts and sciences.

Ada's ordinary wizard level examination results were all A's. In theory, Ada could choose all courses, but she felt that she could give up some subjects appropriately and increase her time for free activities.

Whether these "saved" time is used to relax or to enhance one's own strength, it is much better than wasting it sitting in class.

First of all, the History of Magic class must be abandoned. Having endured Professor Binns' hypnotic torture for five years, Ada didn't want to endure it anymore. It was extremely difficult to fight against sleepiness.

Professor Binns, if there is a model worker selection event at Hogwarts, Ada will definitely vote for her ghost professor, but if she continues to take the history of magic class, there is no need.

The next thing to give up was astronomy. Stargazing was tiring on the neck and climbing the astronomy tower was tiring on the legs, so Ada gave up this course. Sorry, Professor Sinistra.

In fact, Ada also wanted to give up herbalism and Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Herbalism was simply because Ada didn't like to serve those herbal plants, but for the sake of Professor Sprout and Potions, Ada finally kept herbalism on her course schedule.

The reason for giving up Defense Against the Dark Arts was simple. Ada had a conflict with the teacher of the course, so she naturally wanted to give up the course. But Professor McGonagall did not allow Ada to do this, so Defense Against the Dark Arts remained on the course schedule.

Originally it was the elective course Care of Magical Creatures and Ancient Runes, and Ada was planning to give up on them all, but after thinking about it for a while she kept the Ancient Runes. After all, listening to Professor Babuling's talk show was quite enjoyable. interesting.

Hagrid, I'm sorry!

Charms, Transfiguration, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Potions, Herbology, and Ancient Runes, that's all on Ada's curriculum.

This course arrangement cannot be said more or less. Compared to top academics, Ada's course schedule is pitiful, but compared to most sixth grade students, Ada's course schedule is quite large.

For example, Fred and George beside them, the two of them got excellent grades together, but they didn't get as much as Ada alone, so naturally they didn't choose as many courses as Ada did.

This also means that Fred and George have more spare time. Nothing else to say, I feel sorry for Filch for a minute.

However, before the registration deadline for the Triwizard Tournament, Filch shouldn't have to worry too much about Fred and George's enthusiasm. The two of them are now focused on how to increase their age by one year.
