Chapter 273 Time Converter Application Failed

After Lockhart finished speaking, he walked away, looking in the direction that he should be looking for Harry. ♙

As soon as he left, Professor McGonagall immediately looked at Kyle.

"Don't pay attention to that tree. If you still want to live well, stay away from it. And..."

She pursed her lips and continued: "You need to learn a lot of courses this year. I suggest you read more useful books, such as... related to magic texts."

"Okay, Professor," Kyle said.

In fact, he had never read the book "Wandering with Werewolves", and just mentioned it casually. Unexpectedly, Lockhart not only did not refute, but also gave him ten points.

This is really an unexpected gain.

Professor McGonagall nodded.

"Now let's talk about you."

Sprout said: "Unfortunately, Kyle, the time turner you applied for was not successful, so you may have to reselect your class schedule."

"It didn't succeed?" Kyle was stunned for a moment, "But Percy had..."

"This time is different."

Professor Sprout shook his head and said: "All time turners are kept in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic, but it is now tightly sealed and no letters can be sent in."

"Just yesterday, we also tried to get Professor Dumbledore to come forward..." Professor McGonagall said: "But he also returned without success."

"Even Principal Dumbledore can't get in?" Kyle said in surprise. ♦ ˆ ♦ s⃣ ˆ h⃣ ˆ u⃣ ˆ x⃣ .⃣ ˆ c⃣ ˆ o⃣ ˆ m⃣

"No, he went to the Department of Mysteries." Professor McGonagall gave Kyle a meaningful look, "But someone rejected the application on the grounds that all time turners are useful and there are currently no extra ones available to the little wizard. use."

"Um...nothing extra?" Kyle was a little confused.

"Yes, so you'd better choose a get out of class again."

Professor Sprout took out a new timetable with some dirt on it and handed it to Kyle, "Hurry up and don't delay class."

Kyle took the class schedule, thought for a moment and said, "Professor, I still want to choose everything."

"But the time turner..." Professor Sprout frowned.

"It doesn't matter." Kyle said quickly: "I want a place to take the exam, so as long as you agree, I only need to take one of the courses when the courses conflict."

"ah?"

Professor Sprout has been at Hogwarts for decades, and this is the first time he has heard such an outrageous request.

She subconsciously looked to the side and found that Professor McGonagall was also frowning.

The two discussed it quickly...

"Are you sure? Kyle."

Professor McGonagall said seriously: "You have to understand that getting all "O"s in ten courses is different from ten "O"s in twelve courses."

"I know." Kyle nodded.

"Okay then." Professor McGonagall said, "If you insist, I will tell the other professors that you can choose the courses you need to take according to your own ideas."

"But..." Professor McGonagall reminded: "This is limited to six elective courses."

"Of course..." Kyle smiled, "I won't miss any Transfiguration class or Herbology class."

Professor McGonagall gave a rare smile.

Professor Sprout also forgot about the unpleasantness caused by Lockhart, and smiled and gave a branch of the Whomping Willow to Kyle.

Although the branches of the Whomping Willow are not as important as the roots, they are also a very rare potion material and are expensive.

If you take the section given by Professor Sprout to the shop in Diagon Alley, you can exchange it for at least twenty galleons.

Moreover, in the entire British magical world, there is only one whomping willow in Hogwarts. If something goes wrong with Harry and Ron, the loss will be too great.

After discussing the course selection, the two professors left.

Kyle did not follow Professor McGonagall to the castle this time, but walked towards the Forbidden Forest not far away.

Although I didn't get the time turner, the result was not bad.

Just like now... he can choose to go to Care of Magical Creatures, or learn arithmetic and divination... or, neither.

The professors won't think there's any problem, and he can use the time to do other things.

Of course, it is not easy to get Professor McGonagall to agree to such a request. It can even be said to be more difficult than applying for a time turner.

In addition to the fact that the Department of Mysteries just rejected the application, Kyle's perfect transcripts from the previous two years also played a big role.

Otherwise... skip class? Don’t even think about it!

But I definitely have to go to the first class.

Kyle walked across the grounds towards the Forbidden Forest, and on the way he saw Lockhart talking to Harry.

Because of the distance, Kyle didn't hear clearly what the two said, but judging from Harry's expression, he probably didn't really want to chat with Lockhart.

Professor Kettleburn's Care of Magical Creatures class was on the other side of the Forbidden Forest, closer to the Quidditch pitch.

He opened up a large open space there specifically for students to use for classes.

Connor also took this class and was already waiting when Kyle arrived.

"What do you want from Professor Sprout?" she asked. "Do you need help?"

"No, there's just something wrong with my class schedule, it's been solved."

Kyle didn't hide anything and told her directly about his failure to apply for a time turner, including the subsequent solution.

Although Professor McGonagall asked him to keep it secret, how could there be any secrets in Hogwarts... This was common sense.

"Are you going to take twelve courses?" Kangna was a little surprised. "You already have the Order of Merlin, do you still need those certificates?"

"Idle time is idle, it's not too difficult anyway, just take the exam and have fun." Kyle said matter-of-factly, "The main thing is that I can skip classes openly, which is great."

"So, being able to skip class is the important thing!" Kangna stared at him.

Kyle shrugged noncommittally.

really!

Kang Na rolled her eyes and there was no need for her to ask.

While the two were talking, Professor Kettleburn also walked over from the Forbidden Forest.

He seemed to be injured again, and his face was gray. The previous prosthetic leg was gone, replaced by an ordinary wooden stick, which should be a replacement randomly picked up from the Forbidden Forest.

This also caused him to walk with a limp.

Many students who met this professor for the first time were frightened.

Is Care of Magical Creatures so dangerous?

Some people began to back out, wondering whether it was too late to change classes.

Facing the different expressions of the little wizards, Professor Kettleburn didn't care.

This happened once a year and he was used to it.

Moreover, since being hit by the unicorn, he has thought about retiring. This year will probably be his last year at Hogwarts.

Professor Kettleburn found Kyle in the crowd and nodded with satisfaction.

"First class, let's learn Bowtruckle!"

Professor Kettleburn opened the pocket of his clothes and out came five or six creatures that looked like plant buds.

"Does anyone know about it?"

Kyle raised his hand:

"The Bowtruckle is a kind of magical animal with a gentle personality. It usually lives on sorbus trees or other tall trees. But if someone wants to destroy those trees, they will also attack each other.

Unless you're carrying their favorite rogue with you. "

"Exactly, ten points for Hufflepuff!"

Kettleburn said with a smile: "The rustics are in the box next to them. Each of them takes a small bag, and then everyone gets closer..."
