Chapter 122 Merlin Doesn't Roll Dice

Tom Riddle is holed up in the Room of Requirement, which can only be described as a mixed blessing.

The good news is that finding his location is better than letting him continue to hide in the dark and make trouble; the bad news is that Rolf can't enter the Room of Requirement.

After he finished Wormtail's interrogation, he rushed to the eighth floor that day and found the portrait of Barnabas the Fool.

Barnabas was a Jewish Christian in the New Testament, also known as an apostle. He sold his land, donated it to the church, and helped St. Paul and St. Mark.

And that painting describes the story of Barnabas trying to teach the troll how to dance ballet, but was beaten violently by the troll.

Opposite the portrait is a white wall. As long as you walk through this wall three times and concentrate on what you want... the entrance to the Room of Requirement will appear.

However, when this room is used by someone, the wizard who wants to enter must have the same requirements as the user before he can enter.

Rove tried many ideas, but unfortunately the door never appeared.

Since he couldn't get in and could only conduct surveillance, Luofu asked the invisible beast Uduka to take her two daughters to take over in turns... twenty-four hours surveillance!

He didn't believe that Tom wouldn't come out.

Although this is a stupid method, it is also the most effective method.

…

…

The school is safe until Tom leaves the Room of Requirement, but the professors clearly don't think so.

Every class is escorted by teachers, and students cannot go out for less than five people at a time, so you can often see long queues at the door of the toilet.

In order to ensure the safety of students, teachers have also moved out of their offices and moved into the common room. This can ensure that students can be protected as soon as possible when problems arise.

Even the Quidditch match was canceled for the second consecutive year.

This is not good news for Hufflepuff. They have ranked first in points for two years and have a high probability of winning the championship. However, they were unable to compete due to emergencies.

What's worse is captain Truman and a group of veterans. They are in their prime and have rich experience, but they will graduate this year. They missed this opportunity and the decline in team strength is obvious.

But the students really didn't care about the competition, especially when the Minister of Magic Fudge suddenly appeared at Hogwarts the day before the Easter holidays.

Rumors spread all over the place, and everything was said.

Malfoy told everyone that the school was going to have a new principal, but when asked who it was, he was always vague and said: "Anyway, he is my father's good friend!"

Gryffindor's McLagen also mysteriously said that the Ministry of Magic had caught the criminal, and that his uncle was a good friend of Scrimgeour, the head of the Auror Office.

As for why it is not announced, I can only say that everyone understands it. If you don’t understand, you won’t understand it if you tell it. It’s better not to say it.

Susan even swore to tell the Hufflepuff students that Hogwarts was going to be closed. Her aunt Amelia Bones was the director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, and the information seemed reliable.

Everyone has their own information. Either this person's uncle, or that person's uncle next door works at the Ministry of Magic.

Even the ghosts in the school seem to have old friends who are out of reach and tell them some secret gossip.

But the work of the school is still proceeding in an orderly manner, especially the second-year students, who need to consider the third-year courses.

"You should think about it carefully during this Easter vacation." During the Transfiguration class, Mag pursed her lips and said with a serious expression:

"This is a very important choice in magic education. It is related to the ordinary witchcraft level test in fifth grade... and it is also related to your future work..."

Although the second year is not over yet, Professor McGonagall has already thought about future employment. Her suggestion is to learn more important courses and obtain some important certificates.

Courses that are of no use can be abandoned selectively.

But when the little wizard asked what useless courses were, Professor McGonagall just laughed and said:

"Merlin doesn't play dice."

This sentence has been interpreted as Merlin does not do divination. Many people know that Professor McGonagall does not like Professor Trelawney very much and compares her divination class to throwing dice.

Professor Trelawney also disliked Professor McGonagall. She predicted from time to time that people in Gryffindor would die and that the Gryffindor Quidditch team would not win the championship.

Professor Sprout also reminded the little badgers that the employment situation in seventh grade this year is very serious, and it is the most difficult employment season in history... Everyone must be careful when choosing courses.

Compared with the teachers' considerations, the students' priority is that the course is simple, easy to pass and...the teacher is not a pushover.

The most classic negative example is Potions class, where the learning is difficult, the exams are difficult, and the teacher is a jerk.

Of course, everyone was very careful when saying this, for fear of being heard by Professor Snape.

At this time, seniors and senior students seem to be more trustworthy existences than experienced professors.

After all, they have stepped on all the pitfalls they should step on!

It's like a graduate student choosing a mentor, no matter how good the external reputation is, how beautiful the boss's resume is, how round and big the pie he draws for you...

If one of his students expresses in a very subtle way that he does not recommend coming, then run away quickly without hesitation at all!

"If you want to choose the easiest subject, my suggestion is Professor Trelawney's Divination class."

In the Hufflepuff Common Room, Prefect Cedric imparts personal experience.

"Didn't someone say that Professor Trelawney predicts the death of a student every year?" Hannah asked worriedly.

"But it has never come true," Cedric shrugged and said, "Professor Trelawney is a little weird, but her courses are easy. You just need to lie to pass them easily."

The little wizards were whispering, and many of them decided to take the divination class.

But there are exceptions. McMillan heard that the ancient magic runes were the most difficult. He always boasted of his high IQ and wanted to fulfill his talent.

As for Justin, he was even more casual. He numbered the courses, then closed his eyes and rolled the dice... He would choose the course with the number of the dice.

...

...

In the library,

Rove and the others were also discussing the choice of courses.

Neville looked tangled. His family sent him a lot of letters, giving him a lot of suggestions on the issue of course selection. If he followed the content of the letters, he might need to take all the courses.

"It's okay, just choose what you are good at." Rolf said softly: "Neville, you are going to do herbal research in the future, and even stay in Hogwarts as a herbal teacher.

Courses like Arithmancy and Divination will not help you in your future employment, and you don't like them too much... Then there is no need to choose them."

Rolf said, checking his own courses. He did not choose Muggle Studies and Arithmancy, but only chose Care of Magical Creatures, Ancient Magic Runes and Divination.

Care of Magical Creatures and Ancient Magic Runes are definitely subjects to choose. As for Divination, he went there to get Professor Trelawney's prophecy for free... Although this is a probability problem.

Shirley's other courses are the same as Rolf's, only Divination has been replaced by Arithmancy.

Only Hermione is the most entangled. She has more than a dozen reference books and has been studying there for several days.

"We still have to be cautious. This will affect our entire future." Hermione pursed her lips when she spoke, looking very much like Professor McGonagall.

Hermione studied for a long time and finally came to a conclusion:

These courses are all worth learning, and it is best to choose all of them!
