Chapter 161 Easter Barrow Transcendence~
"Ted, I want to take all the courses!" Hermione said with red eyes, feeling like a red-eyed gambler.

Ted took her hand and asked her to sit down and said.

"Come on Hermione, didn't I tell you that not all knowledge needs to be pursued with great effort? Your choice is too impulsive and unnecessary."

Ted looked at Hermione: "Answer me, do you really think it is necessary to take that Muggle Studies class?"

"I..." Hermione wanted to remain stubborn, but after seeing Ted's eyes, she felt a little guilty.

She knew lying to Ted wouldn't work because, like Snape, Ted could see through lies.

Ted continued to advise, "You saw the borrowed Muggle Studies textbook. Even people who have attended primary school are too lazy to take a second look at it. It's all very superficial common sense, and it's common sense from almost 20 years ago. I really suggest that they update the textbook in a timely manner."

Hermione had to admit that Ted was absolutely right. The knowledge about Muggles in the textbook was really too childish.

It's as ridiculous as Taiwan studying whether we can afford tea eggs, or South Korea asking whether we have mobile phones.

When Hermione first saw it, she felt her intelligence was insulted.

She couldn't help but feel that this course was quite stupid!

"There are also divination classes and number divination. Do you believe them?" Ted added.

"Well, I still believe it a little bit..." Hermione whispered.

The so-called little bit of belief is probably the kind of belief that one gets from horoscopes and fortune-telling.

Although it seems a bit counterintuitive for a wizard not to believe in divination, in fact, many wizards in the magical world do not believe in it.

Because being able to tell fortunes accurately is actually a very, very, very rare thing.

For example, the author of the famous book "Seeing the Future through the Clouds" is already the most famous fortune teller in the past hundred years, but there are very few things she can predict, and many times the results of divination are ambiguous.

Only after you have experienced it can you reverse it and make it right.

This is what only a few wizards can do in a hundred years.

The divination class only teaches some common knowledge about divination, which is just an introduction.

It is not really necessary to teach young wizards to learn divination, because it is too dependent on talent.

This kind of rare talent is usually hereditary. Only if there is a famous fortune teller or prophet in the family, it is possible that a person with this talent will appear in the descendants after several or even dozens of generations.

Not to mention that a rational wizard like Hermione is naturally averse to the unpredictable divination tape.

In fact, Dumbledore didn't believe in divination either.

That’s right, he doesn’t believe it!

His old mistress is an outstanding prophet who can see the future. Those ocean-blue eyes can see some fragments of the future, which is why Grindelwald decided to embark on the path of change at a young age.

But it is precisely because of this that Dumbledore does not believe in divination prophecies. Because Grindelwald also failed!
He could only see some fragments, and some things happened precisely because he saw some fragments of the future, which made these fragments become reality.

After experiencing the rise and fall of Voldemort and being unexpectedly defeated by the Boy-Who-Lived, Dumbledore became more convinced of the idea that "people choose their destiny."

It was because Voldemort learned of the prophecy that he was skeptical and chose to take precautions before it happened. He then chose Neville and was finally defeated by Neville.

If Voldemort had scoffed at the prophecy at the beginning, nothing that happened later would have happened.

Now, all of Dumbledore's plans are actually aimed at strengthening Voldemort's belief in the prophecy.

As long as he continues to believe in the prophecy, he will surely be defeated by Neville.

Let's get back to Hermione. Regarding course selection, Ted gave a suggestion that you might as well try all of them first and then finally decide which courses to choose.

Ted also had to take this opportunity to test Professor McGonagall to see if he could touch the "time controller" that could reverse time.
I will just touch it and definitely not take it away!
Ted said, "Tomorrow is Easter. We can choose courses after the holiday. Relax. There is still time~"

……

Easter is not a big holiday, but it is also a rare day off.

The little wizards were very excited.

This year has been a turbulent year, with two secret room door opening incidents making everyone nervous.

Lockhart also set up the Duelling Club and the Valentine's Day Deadly Dwarfs, and almost sent away the young wizards. Now he can finally relax.

The day before, students from various colleges (even third-year Slytherin students and Lothar, who was in the same grade) found Ted and wanted him to organize something so that everyone could take the opportunity to liven up the atmosphere.

The last Valentine's Day was so wonderful! It makes me miss it!
Little wizards: Come on! Come on!
Ted simply agreed and first communicated with the house-elves in the kitchen, discussed the menu, and decided on a sumptuous meal of twelve courses.

I also contacted some Hufflepuff students to help in the kitchen and learn from them.

House-elf: You offended the principal and you still want to leave? You should learn in the school kitchen for ten years first! (Shaolin Eighteen Bronze Men.jpg)

Then I discussed with the college representatives and decided that everyone should perform one or two programs. I can’t always sing! It’s not conducive to unity.
It was Easter Day, a holiday, so the auditorium was always full from lunch onwards.

The long tables were placed near the walls so that they would not interfere with eating and a large space in the middle was left empty - many little wizards were learning to dance there. After Valentine's Day last time, the atmosphere of learning dance in the school suddenly became lively. Some boys and girls danced together with red faces, and stepped on each other's feet from time to time, causing laughter from others, which was also a scene.

But isn’t it a bit early?
Although white people develop earlier and Westerners are more open, isn’t it too early to start learning ballroom dancing at the age of twelve or thirteen?

(What? I don’t know how to do it yet. That’s fine. You guys continue. I won’t bother you anymore.)
By the evening, before the sun had completely set, all the students had arrived.

There were even quite a few people who came wearing strange costumes because the number of transformation candies was limited. If you didn’t know, you would think it was a masquerade.

Ted waved his hand and the fairy lights were hung up.

With another wave of his hand, the dragon fireworks... oh, sorry, I put it in the wrong place. He released the wild boar firecrackers, which frightened several little wizards so much that they fell to the ground to make way for the wild boar. It was not until the wild boar hit the wall and disappeared that everyone realized it was fake, and they burst into laughter.

The banquet over there hasn't started yet, so let's have two performances to warm up the atmosphere.

A four-member chorus from Gryffindor came ~ yes, it was Harley Neville and the others.

Ron finally fulfilled his dream of being a literary young man, but he sang haltingly and out of tune - four people sang five different tunes, and the audience laughed on the stage. If you didn't know, you would have thought it was a group crosstalk.

But what matters is the atmosphere.

Afterwards, some people came up with their own musical instruments, from flutes to violins. Some of them had artistic talent, but most of them did not - many of them were like playing with cotton wool.

I seemed to hear the horn of the junk collector downstairs.
The banquet will start soon, let’s enjoy!
Twelve courses of feasting appeared in an instant on the long table, filled with plates of all sizes!
The little wizards cheered and started to eat.

After eating for more than half an hour, Ted went on stage to perform the final show.

I won’t sing this time, I’ll just sing “Kikujiro’s Summer” for you~
After the performance, there was thunderous applause and the piece was well received.

Ted also completed today's holiday task:
"Ding~ Completed the mission [Gorgeous Easter (Green)], rewarded with 250 experience points and the card [Moonlight Stone (Green)]."

【Moonstone (green)】

item card

Use: Directs a ray of moonlight to follow the target, making it shine brightly.

Lasts 3 minutes, cools down 1 hours.

Note: All eyes are on me, I have something to announce~
This is the magic stage spotlight! Do you really want me to be a big star in the magic world? !

The Easter dinner ended perfectly. Everyone was full and tired after playing, so they went back to bed.

Just when Ted and his friends were about to return to Ravenclaw Tower, they were stopped by a ghost on the road.

Some students from Ravenclaw recognized who this person was. The one covered in silver-white blood spots was the Bloody Baron, the resident ghost of Slytherin!
It is said that he is very prestigious. Not only are the Slytherin students afraid of him, but even Peeves is a little afraid of him.

Before the whip came into being, the professor was often unable to stop Peeves' pranks and could only use the name of the Bloody Baron to scare Peeves.

At this time he stood in front of Ted and stared at Ted.

Ted asked curiously, "Mr. Barrow, what's the matter with you?"

Barrow seemed to react after several seconds and asked, "Where is Helena?"

Ted frowned slightly.

The Ravenclaw students behind him immediately started talking.

"Who is Helena?"

"never heard of that."

Seeing this, Barrow asked, "That's the Lady Grey you were talking about, where is she?"

The discussions behind him were even more intense.

"Mrs. Grey! Yes! I haven't seen her in a long time."

"Why did the Bloody Baron ask Ted?"

"Does Ted know where Mrs. Grey is?"

Seeing this, Ted whispered, "You should know that she has already faced the past calmly and chosen to move on."

Barrow was stunned for a long time, with a very strange expression, as if crying and laughing at the same time, "Did she mention me when she left?"

Ted shook his head slowly: "Don't you know what kind of role you are? It's good that Helena didn't seek revenge on you."

But Barrow seemed to have figured something out and suddenly laughed: "She didn't mention me. She has forgotten me. I understand! I understand!" He yelled loudly, which was very scary.

Ted wanted to go up and slap him: Bastard, what do you understand?

But Barrow floated up, his whole body glowing with fluorescence, and then he disappeared!
Now it was Ted's turn to be stunned - he had seen this scene before!
Barrow actually transcended himself in front of everyone!
Nest! You tricked me?!
Ted looked around and found that everyone was looking at him with inexplicable surprise...
