Chapter 4121 4123 [Elective Course]

In February, Hufflepuff and Slytherin have a Quidditch match.

As expected, Hufflepuff was defeated by Slytherin again.

In this way, Slytherin and Gryffindor will compete for the first and second place, while Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff will compete for the third and fourth place.

In March, during the Easter holiday, Xiang Nan still did not go home, but continued to read at school.

He has now read most of the books in the school library. He wants to finish the remaining small part before the end of the semester, so he will have to work overtime.

To this end, he even reduced the number of times he went to the Room of Requirement to find Fenrir to gain spellcasting experience.

After all, spellcasting experience can be gained at any time, but the books in the school library cannot be read once the summer vacation comes.

In April, after the Easter holidays, Lavanclaw and Hufflepuff held their third Quidditch match.

This time Ravenclaw finally won a victory and took third place, while Hufflepuff came in fourth.

Entering May, the last match was Gryffindor vs. Slytherin.

James Potter successfully caught the Golden Snitch and helped Gryffindor win the Quidditch championship, which greatly increased his popularity in Gryffindor and made him a well-known figure.

And during this game, Tim Brown, the teacher of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, was unfortunately hit on the head by a Bludger, cracking his skull on the spot and causing severe concussion. He had to be sent to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Treatment.

His experience further verified the legend that the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor was once cursed by Voldemort.

……

In May, second-year students begin to choose elective courses for the new semester.

The elective courses include Divination, Arithmancy, Ancient Magic Literature, Muggle Studies and Protection of Magical Animals. Each student must choose at least three of them, and of course they can choose all of them.

People like Hermione Granger, Percy Weasley, and Barty Crouch Jr. chose all five courses.

Xiang Nan did not choose all of them. He chose Arithmancy and Divination, Ancient Magic Literature and Care of Magical Creatures.

In fact, divination and arithmetic divination are both useless, because both divination and arithmetic divination test one's talent extremely. For those who do not have the talent for predicting the future, no matter how hard they learn, it will be useless.

The reason why Professor Trelawney was able to predict the future successfully was because she was the great-great-granddaughter of a very famous and talented prophet. This was a family skill that no one else could learn.

If students were not required to choose three elective courses, Xiang Nan would not have chosen Arithmetic Divination, which wasted his time and energy. However, Ancient Magic Literature and Care of Magical Creatures were somewhat interesting.

Lily did not choose Arithmancy, she chose Divination, Ancient Magic Literature and Care of Magical Creatures. Gregory Foley, James Potter, Sirius Black and other pure-blooded wizards all chose Muggle Studies.

……

In June, we enter the exam season.

Xiang Nan continued to sell intelligence-enhancing potions and cooling potions to earn gold galleons, but the demand still could not keep up with the supply.

The exam was a simple matter for Xiang Nan. The potion class required him to prepare a swelling potion, which, as the name suggests, would swell the limbs when in contact with the body. It was a poison with outstanding effects.

Xiang Nan was not unfamiliar with preparing this kind of potion.

Because he discovered another amazing use of this potion, which is to use it as "Indian magic oil". Don't be greedy, just apply a thin layer and it will have a miraculous effect.

This medicine was later snapped up at Slag & Giggs Pharmacy, and the supply was simply in short supply. So Xiang Nan once boiled this medicine every day and accumulated rich experience.

The spell class required students to cast the Swelling Curse, the Freezing Curse, the Dragon Exiting the Hole, the Slug Eating Curse and the Disarming Curse. These spells were not difficult for Xiang Nan.

Because he had been torturing Fenrir almost every day for the past year, using him as a target for his spells. Therefore, he had practiced these spells thoroughly and could cast them without a wand or chanting.

The Herbology class requires students to collect the roots of mature Mandrake plants. Its root tubers are the key to brewing the resurrection potion. In "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", the people petrified by the basilisk were resurrected with the resurrection potion.

However, mature mandrakes are very ferocious and violent, and they are unwilling to come out of the flowerpot. If anyone dares to provoke them, they will make a piercing scream. Just hearing this sound can cause sudden death.

Therefore, students need to wear earmuffs before they can enter the greenhouse to operate. Even so, during the exam, several students were careless and heard a hint of the scream of the mandrake, so they bled from all their seven orifices.

Fortunately, Professor Sprout intervened in time and cast a spell to stop the Mandrake from screaming, which saved them from the disaster. As for their Herbology class, they inevitably got zero points, including Best Mulciber from Slytherin.

……

The Defense Against the Dark Arts class requires students to deal with female ghosts, trolls and ghouls.

The mirror spell is needed to deal with female ghosts, because female ghosts are ugly, but they think they are the most beautiful. So when they see their true appearance, they will be so scared that they will run away in a panic.

To deal with trolls, you need to use the Confusion Spell because the IQ of trolls is very worrying. Although they are strong and can grow to three to five meters tall, their heads are only as big as potatoes, and their intelligence is not even as good as that of a five-year-old child.

Therefore, after using the Confusion Spell, their already limited brains will become even more chaotic and disordered, and they may even harm themselves or kill each other.

Ghouls like dark and humid environments, so to deal with them, you can use fluorescent flashes or blazing flames spells, both of which will make them feel uncomfortable.

In the Transfiguration class, Professor McGonagall asked the students to turn a bird into a goblet. If there were no feathers on the goblet, they would pass. The more gorgeous and exquisite the goblet, the higher the score.

Most of the students just managed to pass, and Best Mulciber didn't even pass, so much so that his cup was covered in feathers.

Xiang Nan, however, conjured up a very gorgeous goblet, on which there was even a pattern of a warrior fighting a lion. This made Professor McGonagall very satisfied, and she praised Xiang Nan as one of the most talented students she had ever met.

……

After the exam, everyone has a week to relax.

Xiang Nan did not relax, but instead took advantage of the time to finish reading the last ten or so books he borrowed from the library.

It took him four semesters, nearly two years, to read all the professional books in the library except those in the banned section.

This not only made his knowledge reserves reach a fairly rich level, but also allowed his research on magic to reach a fairly high level.
