The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 117: Some thoughts on course selection.

"Is the course useful to you? This requires analysis of each course. After the analysis, you can easily choose the courses you need." Ryan said.

"Let's talk about the third grade electives first. They are Divination, Arithmancy, Care of Magical Creatures, Ancient Runes, and Muggle Studies. Everyone chooses at least two." Ryan paused here, and after seeing Hermione concentrate, he said, "First, let's talk about Divination and Arithmancy. The content of these two courses overlaps to some extent. But I personally prefer Arithmancy."

"Why?" "Arithmetic divination involves some complex mathematical problems, and is also very useful in the study of magic circles. Many curse breakers at Gringotts have learned this. But divination is different. As far as I know, divination in the wizarding world is a subject that requires talent. If you don't have talent, you can never learn it. Just like no matter how much we practice, we can never beat Harry in Quidditch."

"What about other courses?" After listening to Ryan's analysis, Hermione did not express her own opinion but continued to ask.

"If your future work requires you to be outdoors for a long time or to go on adventures, then Care of Magical Creatures is very important. Some positions in the Ministry of Magic also require knowledge of this course.

The Ancient Runes course will explain ancient magic and the composition of basic magical runes. It is a must-learn course for any wizard who aspires to achieve academic success. In terms of value, it is one of the best courses in the Hogwarts curriculum.

Muggle Studies is the opposite. Apart from some individual Ministry of Magic positions, this course is basically useless to us Muggle-borns. At least I think describing the function of a rubber duck or drawing how to move things without magic is very stupid. "

"And the biggest difference between the wizarding world and the Muggle world is that the wizarding world places great emphasis on personal strength. For example, our Headmaster Dumbledore is considered the representative of the British wizarding world, so why not Fudge? Isn't Dumbledore considered the greatest white wizard in the world? If you are determined to change the entire wizarding world, then I personally think that at least your personal strength is a must."

After listening to Ryan's narration, Hermione nodded silently. Ryan knew that he didn't need to say anything more. After all, Hermione was a very opinionated person. It would be inappropriate for him to say more at this time.

When the course selection list was handed in on Monday, Ryan saw that Hermione had chosen the same courses as him: Arithmancy, Ancient Runes, and Care of Magical Creatures.

Overall, not many students in Gryffindor chose Ancient Runes and Arithmancy, because it is said that these two courses are more difficult. Most students, like Harry, Ron and Neville, chose Care of Magical Creatures and Divination.

Ryan chose these two courses because arithmetic divination requires a person to have a math level of at most the level of college entrance examination math, and the difficulty is not very high. Learning this is quite effective in cracking many magic mechanisms and can play a big role in adventures.

He chose Ancient Magic Runes purely because he had obtained the complete inheritance of the ancient Viking wizards, which included Ancient Magic Runes. After reading Percy's Ancient Magic Runes textbook, he found that the content recorded in the book was not as complete as he knew. In this case, why not learn this subject that is both cool and easy to get points.

Hermione chose these two subjects because she is a real studious person and hopes to learn more knowledge. In this respect, it is inevitable that she always ranks first in the grade. After all, you can't afford to offend someone who is smarter and more hardworking than you.

In the school year without the basilisk, everything went according to the teaching schedule. It was time for another Quidditch match on Saturday, this time it was Gryffindor vs. Hufflepuff. In the morning, all members of the Gryffindor team went to the Gryffindor table to eat breakfast.

Captain Wood said enthusiastically, "This is the perfect weather for a Quidditch match!" He added a lot of scrambled eggs to each player's plate, especially Harry. "Harry, you need to have a good breakfast. Quidditch is a physical activity, so eat more to last until the end of the game."

But Harry had an uneasy expression on his face. After all, the last time he was chased and beaten by the Bludger was a very bad impression, especially when the attack from the Bludger came from a house-elf.

Just as Harry was letting his mind wander, a hand was placed on his shoulder. He looked up and saw that it was Ryan, with Hermione and Ron standing next to him.

"Don't worry." Ryan said, "Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick will come to this competition. We will sit next to the professors' seats and call the professors over if we find anything wrong."

This comfort made Harry relax a lot, and he successfully caught the Golden Snitch in the game. At this time, Gryffindor was leading Hufflepuff by nearly 200 points.

It seems that Dobby didn't come today, maybe because of something at the Malfoy family. At the celebration party after the game, Ron put forward his point of view.

Ron's guess was obviously correct, because the next day's Daily Prophet wrote that Arthur Weasley inspected the Malfoy family and seized a large number of dark magic items from the Malfoy family's secret room.

Ryan thought this might have something to do with him, and when he was brewing sneezing potion with the Weasley brothers at night, the brothers had been complaining that their father worked overtime every day, but could never find the dark magic items collected by the pure-blood families.

After listening to what Ryan said, he told the brothers all the secret rooms, mezzanines and other methods of hiding treasures that he knew in his two lives. He also said to the twin brothers in a joking tone that maybe Malfoy's family would put the secret storage room under the living room floor. After all, there is a saying in my hometown that the most dangerous place is also the safest place.

It seems that the twin brothers wrote all these things in the letter to their father. Sure enough, when they were doing the experiment at night, the twin brothers came to thank Ryan for reminding them. At the same time, they swore that they had not told anyone about this matter, and only said in the letter to their father that this was their own idea.

So there is a reason why the twins were able to make their business so big in the future. At least this approach of considering others from their perspective will make people feel happy and at the same time will recognize their friendship.

Because everyone was in a good mood tonight, they successfully prepared a fever potion that would not harm the body. This was thanks to Ryan's joining in and rejecting the use of many raw materials through medical analysis, which saved the Weasley twins from the pain of using themselves as human experiments again and again.

The next step is to turn these liquids into solids and then mix them with some irrelevant vague formulas of medicines. According to Ryan's judgment of the current progress, it is very likely that the finished product will be produced this summer.

ps: I wish you a happy Dragon Boat Festival, and I also wish all the best to the candidates taking the college entrance examination today. Finally, the poor author is here to ask for recommendations and collections.
