The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

Chapter 416 Class Schedule

The next day, in Hufflepuff's dormitory.

"Link, wake up quickly, it's time for us to get up..."

With his consciousness dim, Link suddenly heard a familiar voice gradually getting louder from far to near.

At the same time, someone seemed to be pushing his arm.

"No!~"

Link finally opened his eyes.

What appeared in front of him was John's haggard but still excited face.

"You're finally awake! Let's go! Let's wash up and have breakfast, and then go to class and work hard for the rise of Hufflepuff! This year's Academy Cup, we Hufflepuff are determined!"

Seeing Link wake up, John finally stopped pushing and stood up, speaking with difficulty.

Upon hearing this, Link wailed and covered his face with a pillow. Arkham, who was also awakened by the side, even opened his mouth to threaten John.

Yesterday, Hufflepuff's carnival continued late into the night.

Originally, this was nothing to an 'immortal cultivator' like Link, but later, John, who had been 'invisible' from the beginning of the Hogwarts Express until now, was moved by Link's speech and took the initiative to suddenly Got out.

It's amazing how much this guy has changed over the holidays.

Not only was he taller, but his hair was also turned black using magic dye.

In his own words, this kind of black hair can make him look more mysterious and melancholy handsome, at least Lillian likes it very much!

In addition, it is said that John has become an ardent fan of a well-known Muggle football team. During the entire holiday, he gathered with other fans in the bar almost every day, drinking and watching that team's games.

If it was just like this, Link and Cedric wouldn't care too much.

But the problem is, not counting John's own drinking, he also borrowed the Traceless Stretching Charm that Link gave him before and secretly brought in nearly a small warehouse of Muggle drinks!

Ever since, with John's help, the Hufflepuffs' carnival was completely out of control.

Link also passed out drunk because John forcibly persuaded him to drink.

Recalling the details of last night, the corners of Link's eyes twitched.

Even he was drunk because he didn't have time to take the sobering potion, let alone the others.

Many Hufflepuffs may be late today because of hangovers, and Professor Sprout cannot possibly not know this.

So next, as a person who started a normal carnival, will I be interviewed?

Link shook his head and finally got up from the bed.

After a short wash and tidying up, Link, John and others jogged to the auditorium and started enjoying today's breakfast.

The excited John kept talking to Link along the way, and the main focus of his topic was still how to defeat the other three colleges and win this year's College Cup.

Link paid no attention to John at all, and just lowered his head and ate his breakfast - today's breakfast actually included white porridge. Although it was seasoned with black pepper and was a bit strange, Link still didn't want to miss it.

After breakfast, the students left the auditorium one after another and began to flock to the classrooms where they were going to have classes.

Only now did Link realize that his previous worries were completely unnecessary.

Because like John, there were many Hufflepuffs who were excited by his words. Adhering to the principle of never abandoning or giving up, they directly picked up every Hufflepuff who was sleeping in for breakfast.

In addition, for new students, they even provide guidance and escort services.

This is quite bizarre and even weird.

After all, the terrain of Hogwarts Castle is complex, and there are little traps everywhere. Almost every old student here has fallen into one of these traps and made a fool of himself in public.

But now they have abandoned the tradition of 'trailing' new students because of Link's speech.

This can also be seen from the side how influential Link's speech is.

Closer to home, unlike other students, Link, John and others did not leave the auditorium immediately after breakfast. Instead, they remained seated in their seats, waiting for Professor Sprout to come down from the staff table to formulate and distribute the curriculum. surface.

Starting this year, the class schedules for people like Link and John will be very different from before.

They can sign up for courses they like according to their interests and hobbies, which to a certain extent will give them more free time. Some people can even sit in the classroom for the entire class and do nothing. .

But if they want to apply successfully, they must be checked by Professor Sprout to confirm that each student's OWL score reaches the score line for the NEWT advanced class course in that subject.

This is a tedious and difficult job, because many students will try to be clever and take a chance to take subjects for which their scores are obviously insufficient.

Fortunately, most Hufflepuffs are honest children and rarely do such things, which saves Professor Sprout a lot of effort.

As the people in the front row received their course schedules one after another, Link noticed that John's face turned a little pale, and the hand hidden under the table was clutching his robe tightly, and his whole person was very anxious.

"what happened to you?"

Link asked with a frown, but when John heard this, he just forced a smile to Link and said nothing.

"John, it's your turn."

Professor Sprout finally stood in front of John and Link.

"Herbology, very good. Your OWL is excellent. I'm very happy to continue to teach you. Defense against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration, Potions..." Her colleague who was talking was also flipping the notepad in his hand, his face Shang's original smile was slowly disappearing, "Very good. It seems that you have absorbed the career advice I gave you before and considered developing in the direction of Auror. But the problem lies in Charms. John, I remember your spells." Your academic performance is just passing, right?"

John forced out a smile that was uglier than crying and said:

"Yes, that's right, Professor Sprout. I didn't mean to deceive you, I just... wanted to give it a try..."

"It's okay, kid." Professor Sprout touched his head distressedly and said, "In fact, your grades are enough to apply for Charms. I was just a little worried that you wouldn't be able to keep up with the course. "

"what?"

John, who was about to cry when he heard this, suddenly froze, and a strange choked and interrupted sound came out of his throat.

Upon seeing this, Professor Sprout explained:

"Professor Flitwick is always so kind. He believes that every young wizard should learn an entire spell course. This is the right of a wizard. Therefore, he deliberately lowered the score line this year."

"This is really... wonderful!"

John said excitedly, but at this moment Professor Sprout knocked him on the head and said:

"In addition, because you brought contraband into Hogwarts, Hufflepuff will deduct 50 points! You will also be fined 20 hours of voluntary labor, which will be performed every Friday evening in my greenhouse. Oh, by the way. , don’t forget to bring me the remaining wine when the time comes.”

After saying that, Professor Sprout no longer paid attention to John, whose smile suddenly froze, and turned to look at Link.

"It's your turn next, Link."

Professor Sprout rolled her eyes at Link when she spoke. Apparently she knew that what happened last night had something to do with Link.

However, she did not punish her, but continued to flip through her notepad and said:

"Let me see, Charms, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration, Herbology, Potions and Care of Magical Creatures. There is nothing wrong with that. You meet the requirements of these courses perfectly."

Professor Sprout closed the notepad, "But Link, don't you really want to take all the other subjects? You must know that your grades are enough for you to apply for at least three more courses, which will make your NEWT The report card looks better.”

"No professor," Link said as he stood up. "Compared to attending classes, I need more time to do other things this semester."

"For example, encourage students to compete for the College Cup?"

Professor Sprout said with a smile. Without letting Link answer, he handed the course schedule to Link and went straight to the next student.

As soon as Sprout stepped forward, John immediately came closer.

He stretched out his trembling hands and grabbed Link's shoulders and said:

"Link! I succeeded! I can be an Auror!"

Link could clearly feel John's excitement. To be honest, he was actually quite surprised that John could successfully register for so many subjects, and none of them were dawdling.

Especially for Potions, being able to successfully enroll in Snape's Potions NEWT class definitely shows that John's Potions level is in the first echelon of Hogwarts.

But this did not stop him from pulling John's hand away and said:

"Yes, congratulations. But I must remind you that you have only successfully registered for Auror's pre-NEWT course. If you cannot pass all of these courses, or even get good grades or above in all of them, You still can't be an Auror."

The smile on John's face froze instantly, and Link continued with a smile when he saw this:

"But you don't have to be discouraged. Every year, the Ministry of Magic allocates several places for students to go to the Auror training camp to experience. Maybe I can give you a try. If you succeed, you will have this experience as a foundation, as long as your grades are not too high." Shit, basically a quasi-Auror can't escape."

Link stood up, "Okay, Potions class is about to start, let's go there now."

After saying that, Link walked out of the auditorium without looking back, and John hurriedly followed, happily asking Link about the details about the qualifications for the Auror training camp experience.

Due to Link's deliberate control, there is no news about Fudge's failure in the Daily Prophet.

Therefore, in the perception of John and the general public, Fudge still has the final say in the Ministry of Magic. At the same time, the relationship between Link and Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic should have deteriorated because of Harry's trial.

According to this statement, Link should have no ability to help John obtain qualifications for the Auror training camp, and Fudge would even order the cancellation of this policy in revenge for Dumbledore.

But John didn't care so much.

He knew Link too well, and he knew very well that as long as it was something Link said, Link would definitely find ways to implement it.

After so many years, John has become a bit superstitious about Link.

And that's an Auror!

Although it is a bit dangerous, both the salary and social status are top-notch!

If she could really become an Auror, then Lillian's parents would probably no longer stop them from being together, right?

In the dream of a better future, John was taken directly to the potions classroom underground by Link.

The cold and humid air swept through the classroom, causing Link to frown slightly and John to wake up instantly.

They looked around and realized that many students had arrived before them, but they were all sitting scattered and silent.

It can be seen that they are still very nervous and anxious about the upcoming Potions class.

Different from OWL courses, most NEWT advanced classes basically adopt the model of mixed classes from four colleges due to the number of students.

Therefore, not only Ravenclaw, but also Slytherin and Gryffindor students appeared in front of Link at this moment.

Of course, Gryffindor and Hufflepuff have the smallest number of students, but the largest number is still the green color representing Slytherin.

After entering the Potions classroom, Link stopped talking to John.

After searching for a moment in the crowd, he soon found Emily, who was smiling and waving to him surrounded by a group of Slytherins.

A smile finally appeared on Link's face.

He walked over quickly, and one of the Slytherin girls graciously gave up a seat so that Link could sit next to Emily.

"Why did you come so early?"

As Link said this, he naturally took Emily's little hand.

Sometimes I have to admit that that kind of thing can indeed officially break the relationship between men and women to a more intimate stage where no one dislikes the other.

At least after spending that wild night, Emily became blind to Link's little moves from time to time.

You know, in the past, if Link dared to hold her hand in front of his classmates, Emily would blush so much that she couldn't speak.

But now Emily just said lightly:

"You must be too late. Professor Snape had already distributed our course schedule last night, unlike other professors who had to wait until the next morning to distribute it."

"That's not what you said. It was already very late, and the professors just wanted us to have a good rest."

Link retorted.

In this matter, he would not let others speak ill of his dean, even if it was Emily.

"So did you have a good rest?" Emily raised her almond-shaped eyes slightly, "How did I hear that you went drinking last night?"

After hearing this, Link stiffened and immediately started to laugh and said:

"Ha! It's all a trivial matter! They drank, but I didn't drink too much, hahaha."

……

As Link and Emily chatted, the tension in the classroom gradually relaxed.

Upon seeing this, many people gathered together in twos and threes, and whispers gradually began to sound in the classroom.

But when a familiar dull footsteps slowly sounded from the side door of the classroom from far to near, the whole classroom suddenly became quiet again.
