HP Dawn Night

On Saturday afternoon, the week was declared complete, and Pansy tore the planner out of his notebook.

"Now, tell me what you think, Vio." She looked at me eagerly.

"I feel good about both arithmetic divination and ancient runes. Arithmetic divination is more difficult and boring, but I think my learning is good. Ancient runes are very interesting and fascinating. To be honest, I prefer ancient runes." A little more text." I said, "But from a practical point of view, I think I am better at arithmetic and divination."

"That is to say, you like ancient runes, but you are better at arithmetic and divination?" Pansy repeated.I nodded.She picked up a quill and wrote a few strokes, "Brace, what do you think?"

"Number divination seems to be quite handy for Violet, but I'm not sure if she can do it like this after she comes into contact with more rare content. Arithmancy divination is an advanced subject, and it requires talent, training and skills just like potions. Good foundation. I think Violet has a talent for numerology, but she's only been studying it for a week and she's under pressure to do two years in three months, which I think is A big challenge."

"Draco, what about you?" Pansy continued to write a few strokes, and then asked Draco.

"I think Vio is doing well, and she likes this class very much. But the problem with ancient runes is that there are a lot of things to memorize in this class, and candidates are required to translate runes into English in the OWLs exam , and there is a strong connection between ancient runes and magical animals, so in summary, I think if Vio chooses to study this course, she will have to spend a lot of time reciting and memorizing. Of course, I am very Happy to help—”

"Don't add the last sentence, Draco." Pansy wrote something more, "Vio, simply put, you are good at arithmetic and divination but you prefer ancient runes; in terms of difficulty, arithmetic and divination requires Use your brain, ancient runes require a strong memory; from a practical point of view, ancient runes may be more suitable for you, because many ancient magics are written in runes, learning it may be of greater help to you. "

"And objectively speaking, divination is really too difficult." Brace added.

"But you have to be mentally prepared, the ancient rune won't be too easy, because there are too many things to recite." Draco said.

"Have you made up your mind, Vio?" Pansy asked.

"Ancient rune." I replied.

"Then you'd better discuss the progress of your studies with Professor Snape." Blaise reminded me.

I looked at the time: "I'm going now."

"Go and come back, don't forget there's Quidditch practice at five o'clock," Draco said.

"I know," I joked, "I don't want to be brutally murdered by Montague."

When I knocked on the office door, I found that my father was still correcting papers as always.

"I guess you came to me to talk about transferring classes." He put down the quill, crossed his fingers and waited for me to explain the decision.

"Yes." I replied.

"Why did you decide to switch classes?" Dad asked.

"My grades in divination are not good, and I will probably fail the OWLs exam, and I am really not interested in this class. Instead of continuing to endure the suffering of divination, I might as well change another class, and maybe I can get a better grade." results."

"So you've decided what to study instead?"

"That's right." I said, "I'm going to replace Divination with Ancient Runes."

"Oh?" He seemed a little surprised, "Why not arithmetic and divination?"

I sat down on the chair across from the desk: "First, considering my future career plans, ancient runes are more practical than arithmetic divination; second, arithmetic divination requires long-term study just like potions, and I lack a good foundation, even if I can cope with the test temporarily, it may affect my future study; third, arithmetic and divination is too difficult, I don't want to delay other subjects because of it; fourth, ancient runes A lot of reciting is required, while arithmetic divination requires a lot of practice, and under the current circumstances, reciting is easier to do anytime and anywhere.”

Dad nodded after listening to my words: "First, you haven't had employment consultation yet, and you may change your mind about your career, but in most jobs, ancient runes are indeed more practical than arithmetic and divination. ;Secondly, ancient runes may also affect your study of other subjects; thirdly, reciting may not be as simple as you imagined.——Besides that, I completely agree with you."

"so……"

"I am very glad that you have considered the matter of transferring courses in almost all aspects and made a very wise choice. It is true that it is a good thing to dare to challenge, but there is only a thin line between bravery and arrogance. Indeed, at present Arithmetic divination is not very suitable for you in this situation, and in the long run, learning ancient runes can bring you more benefits." Dad pulled out a form, "I agree with your decision. This is an application for changing electives The class form, fill it out now."

"Father, you thought I would choose arithmetic and divination?" I asked a little confused, "Why?"

"You've always been a great kid—even though I gave you an E on your paper, you're still better than everyone else—and great people make stupid, fatal mistakes like arrogance and overreaching. , self-admired, self-admired, I thought you would rashly choose arithmetic and divination in order to prove your strength, but now I find that you are much more mature than I thought." Dad smiled slightly, "I'm glad you did Choose the one that suits you best.”

"Oh... I heard some other people's opinions." I smiled sheepishly, "You know, Pansy, Blaise, Draco..."

"That's one of the things I want to compliment you on too. You've made real friends, and you're willing to listen to them instead of going your own way." Dad asked a pointed question, "Have you ever considered learning arithmetic and divination?" ?”

"Honestly speaking, if it wasn't for Pansy's reminder, I'm afraid I would not have considered the ancient rune course. In fact, I almost decided to take arithmetic divination at the beginning, but I was just wondering if it would be too burdensome. Keeping me busy with other things, but then—”

"Then you listened to other people's opinions."

"Yeah, I ended up making a decision that seems satisfying so far," I said. "The only challenge is that I'm going to be very, very busy for the next three months."

"Then have you ever thought about failure?" Dad asked abruptly.

"fail?"

"There are a lot of students who have tried to transfer, but the vast majority of them have failed the test, and of those who have passed, a high percentage have failed in the OWLs. Have you considered that?"

I thought about it: "First of all, I will do my best to prepare for the test in December. Assuming I pass it, I will use the Christmas holiday to study ancient runes in the following time, and devote relatively more energy to it. If not If I pass, then I will find a way to get a passable grade in divination."

"Very well, you are really thoughtful." Dad handed me a quill filled with ink, "Fill out the form."

I quickly filled out the form.

"I will submit this form to the ancient rune professor. The professor will inform you of the specific time of the test and provide you with a syllabus. Your test results will be sent to you before the Christmas holiday." Dad said.

"Thanks, I'll do my best." I said, "Also, can we add ancient runes to our tutoring?"

"You'll find that we're saturated with time." Dad stated calmly about the lack of time.

"I can practice Transfiguration alone after class, and I can also practice Defense Against the Dark Arts according to the syllabus." I suggested, "We can keep Occlumency and only add Defense Against the Dark Arts on a certain day, as for the rest I can study the subjects independently, and you only need to do random checks on time, so we have time to give the ancient runes."

Dad looked at me quietly and didn't speak for a while: "You decided to do this?"

"Yes." I suddenly felt motivated.

"That would put a lot of pressure on you."

"That's no problem. I only need to persist for three months. After three months, I will either continue to learn divination, or keep up with the progress of the ancient runes." I said firmly.

"You really look like your mother." Dad pursed his lips tightly, "Then, every Friday and Saturday night, we will learn about Occlumency and ancient runes, and on Sunday night we will change the ancient runes. into Defense Against the Dark Arts. I will check the rest of the subjects at any time."

"Okay." I replied decisively.

"I hope you can do it." Dad seemed to say with emotion.

"You won't be disappointed in me," I said.

The author has something to say:

I guess the ancient rune is a kind of liberal arts, similar to the ancient Chinese or foreign languages ​​we learn; arithmetic and divination are more brain-intensive, such as science games such as bridge and sudoku.

Then, among the four children in the article, only Pansy is a complete liberal arts student.Wei Ao may be more scientific, Xiaolong and Blaise are completely in the middle line.
