Chapter 159 Ravenclaw's Morning, Request
The next day, Aiden woke up in his bed, but of course he didn't transform like Martin, because he had grown dragon horns.
The two roommates finished washing up in a daze, and were about to start the first class of their third year in Ravenclaw.
Mondays for Ravenclaw were particularly busy this year, with three classes crammed into the morning.
The first class was Rune, and Aiden dragged his two roommates to the classroom.
Because it is an elective course, there is only one house, Ravenclaw.
Bathsheda Baburin, the professor who teaches runes, is a serious middle-aged witch who seems to be difficult to get along with.
"I don't know how much you know about runes, but I have to tell you that the runes in the textbooks are basically just pictures."
Professor Baburin tapped the blackboard with his pointer.
"Since you are just beginning to learn about runes at this age, the teaching at this stage will mainly focus on remembering the meaning of runes."
Hearing this, Aiden began to paddle with peace of mind. He took out a book on the study of the mind and started reading.
Professor Baburin was very excited when he was speaking at the podium. In fact, apart from the boring teaching of character shapes and meanings, this professor was very good at telling stories.
Then, Aiden's behavior of watching the story while listening to it was discovered.
"Mr. Prewett, please tell me what this symbol means." Professor Baburin fixed Aiden with a stern look.
There was a big ? rune written in the middle of the blackboard, and Professor Baburin pointed at it with his pointer.
"Professor, this rune means water, emotion, intuition, and flow." Aiden ignored Ethan who was writing the interpretation on a piece of paper next to him.
"Oh, then tell me in what scenarios this rune is generally used." Professor Baburin asked.
“Well, okay professor, this rune is generally used in places where the alchemical matrix needs to purify and connect magic power.
Of course, sometimes we can also rely on this rune to sense or intercept alien magic power."
Aiden is very proficient in using ? and can give examples easily.
"Wait, the last name Prewett, alchemy, so that's it." A glimmer of enlightenment flashed in Professor Baburin's eyes.
“It seems that you have already done your own research on alchemy, so why are you wasting time taking such a basic course?
Oh, I see. You want to get credits here. That's not a problem, but your final exam will be more difficult than others." Professor Baburin made the decision.
"Of course, Professor." Aiden bowed slightly.
"Please sit down, Mr. Prewett." Professor Babbling nodded.
The first class of the new term in Ravenclaw passed under the strange looks of other young wizards.
Next was Transfiguration. Since there was no exam last year, Professor McGonagall asked the students to demonstrate what they had learned in the previous year in the first class.
She asked the young wizards to transform parts of objects and transform living things into dead things.
The little wizards from Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff can do it very well.
After class, Aiden found Professor McGonagall in her office.
"Aidan, what's the matter?" Professor McGonagall asked.
"Professor, I want to try Animagus." Aiden stated his request.
"Aiden, are you sure you are ready?" Professor McGonagall took off her glasses and looked at Aiden seriously.
"Yes, Professor," Aiden said.
"Well, Aiden, we need to consult the principal about this matter."
Professor McGonagall thought about it for a while, but was still unsure, so she explained.
"I received a letter from Remus earlier, and he told me that he saw your Patronus as a dragon on the train."
"Yes, professor, but is there any problem with that?" Aiden asked in confusion.
"It is said that the Patronus is closely related to our Animagus. We cannot be completely sure of this statement, but if it is true, it means that what you want to activate is the transformation of magical creatures."
Professor McGonagall stood up, pulled an ancient book from the bookshelf and handed it to Aiden.
"You can learn this knowledge in advance, but you are absolutely forbidden to start experiments privately. Otherwise, don't even think about learning the knowledge of Animagus from me." Professor McGonagall warned.
"Of course, Professor," Aiden assured, bowing his head.
"Okay, go to your next class first. I have to contact the headmaster." Professor McGonagall ordered them to leave.
Walking out of Professor McGonagall's office, the third class is Hagrid's Care of Magical Creatures class.
As the first in the school to experience the new professor's first class, the little wizards are full of anticipation for the new courses.
"It seems that everyone is quite enthusiastic about magical creatures, right, Professor Hagrid." Aiden picked it up.
"Oh, don't...don't do that, Aiden. What you said makes me feel uncomfortable." Hagrid shuddered.
"Hahaha." Aiden laughed and opened the monster book.
"Oh, Aiden, don't." Hagrid stopped him quickly when he saw Aiden opening the book without touching the spine.
Just as the monster book was about to open its mouth to bite someone, his small eyes met a pair of beautiful eyes for a moment, and then fell silent.
"This book is quite interesting." Aiden said
"Can it still be like this?" Hagrid was stunned.
Soon other young wizards wanted to follow suit, but Hagrid hurried over to stop them.
All the little wizards opened the books correctly under Hagrid's instruction. Dear children, please do not imitate Aiden.
"Well, as your first lesson, I will take you to learn about Hippogriffs."
Hagrid clapped his hands and played some entrance music for them, and a dozen hippogriffs of various colors walked out.
"You have to understand that these beautiful little guys are very proud, please don't be rude to them."
Hagrid turned around expectantly and asked, "Who's first?"
Everyone stepped back together, leaving Ethan free.
"Brave boy, I remember you were Aiden's roommate, what's your name?" Hagrid asked with a smile.
Ethan turned around and found that the people around him had already retreated to the back, and then he gave Aiden a look that said "you're dead".
"My name is Ethan Beckett, professor," Ethan introduced.
“Well, okay Ethan, you have to let it move first, just bow to it out of courtesy.
If he does, you can touch it, if not, then please wait a little longer." Hagrid shouted in a thick voice.
Ethan carefully bowed to a brown hippogriff, and after a moment, the hippogriff also bowed its head.
"Well done, you can ride it now." Hagrid put Ethan on the horse.
With a pat on the hippogriff's butt, it flew up with Ethan.
The other little wizards showed envy in their eyes, especially the Hufflepuff little wizards, whose eyes began to shine.
"Okay, let's all try it."
Hagrid began to instruct other young wizards on how to get in touch with the Hippogriff.
When it was Aiden's turn, the surrounding hippogriffs refused to approach Aiden.
"Oh, what's going on, Aiden, did you use some animal repellent perfume?" Hagrid asked.
"Maybe they don't like me, it's okay Hagrid." Aiden shrugged.
Soon, the class was over, and the little wizards who returned to the castle excitedly discussed what they had seen and heard today.
"Oh, isn't this our Master Prewett who couldn't ride the horse?" Ethan teased Aiden.
"Oh, isn't this our brave Mr. Ravenclaw?" Aiden was not to be outdone.
"Aiden, you're done. I helped you in the runes class, and this is how you repay me."
Ethan pounced on him with his teeth bared.
"Hey, I can't catch it."
The two chased and fought in the corridor.
