Because he didn't know who Tom Riddle was controlling before, Ivan was afraid that the other party would steal the diary back while he was away.
So, he always carried the diary with him, but never opened it again.
Thanks to Aiwen's care, there was no more attack in the castle.
Four months have passed since Justin was petrified.
Almost everyone seemed to think that the attacker, whoever he was, was done for good.
While eating breakfast one day, Ivan heard Professor Sprout happily say to several students, "Mandrakes held a lively and noisy dance party in the third greenhouse. When they want to move to We know they're fully ripe when they're in someone else's pot, and then we can bring those poor people on the hospital ward to life."
The continuous good news made people gradually happy.
Hufflepuff's Ernie is no longer avoiding them, and Peeves is finally getting tired of his "Oh Potter, you bastard"; sales of the Hogwarts Witchcraft and Wizardry are picking up, and everyone will Attention has turned back to the upcoming Gryffindor vs. Hufflepuff Quidditch match, which could lead to this year's Quidditch Cup.
In this environment, Ivan was really surprised when he saw all the second graders sitting in the common room with sad faces on Easter.
"The school asked us to choose a third-year curriculum."
Harry held a class schedule full of markings, and explained to Ivan and Colin who had just walked in, "It seems that we need to add a few courses."
"Professor McGonagall warned us to be cautious." Hermione looked at Harry and Ron seriously, "Choose carefully, this will affect our future."
"I don't know, but I just want to give up Potions," said Harry.
"Impossible!" Ron said in a low mood, "I have to take all the original subjects, otherwise I would have thrown away the Defense Against the Dark Arts class."
"But that class is important!" said Hermione in surprise.
"Like Lockhart's teachings, I don't think so," said Ron. "I didn't learn anything from him except don't let the elves out."
Children who grew up in wizarding families used owls to ask for opinions at home. For example, Neville, who was sitting by the side, received many letters from relatives, which made it even more difficult for him to make a decision. He had to ask others nervously. Do you think that arithmetic divination sounds more difficult to learn than ancient runes
As for Harry being raised in a Muggle family, he had no one to advise him.
In the end, he even closed his eyes, used his magic wand to randomly click on the list, and chose whichever course he clicked.
"You can't do this, Harry!" Hermione hastily stopped him.
"So do you have any good ideas?" Harry said with a frown.
"We can choose all of them. The school didn't say it's not allowed, did it?" Hermione said uncertainly.
"That's right, but I'm sure I wouldn't do that." Harry shook his head hastily, "Hermione, your idea doesn't suit me."
"The divination class looks very interesting, you should choose this." Ai Wen leaned over to look at Harry's schedule, "I am very interested in this aspect, if there is a chance next semester, I would like to go with you Listen in."
"Ivan's suggestion is good. Divination can help you see the future." Percy walked over. Since he knew the news that the mandrake was about to mature, he seemed to have completely returned to normal. He guided Harry, "The course you choose depends mainly on where you want to go in the future."
"People always say it's stupid to choose Muggle studies, but I personally think that wizards should have a thorough understanding of non-magical society, especially if they want to work closely with Muggles. Look at my father , he has to deal with Muggle business all the time. My brother Charlie has always liked the outdoors, so he took Care of Magical Creatures. Play to your strengths, Harry."
Percy's suggestion didn't help much, as Harry couldn't think of any strong suits for him other than Quidditch.
"Professor McGonagall wants us to hand in our choices tomorrow, so think about it carefully, Harry." Hermione signed all the subjects, "and you too, Ron, you have to worry about your future Responsible."
"That sounds like my mother!" Ron wrinkled his nose uneasily, looking listless.
In fact, he has been in a very bad state recently, and after asking Madam Pomfrey for two large bottles of sedatives, it didn't have any effect. Everyone believed that this might be an adverse reaction caused by the Imperius Curse.
Ginny is also in a bad state. Aiwen can be sure that the other party must have something to hide from him, but he talked to her a few times, but there is no effect.
That night, Ivan, Harry, and Ron sat in front of the fire in the common room, and they discussed each class.
In the end, Harry and Ron chose the same few new subjects. They feel that if these courses are difficult to learn, at least two people can still keep company.
When they had just signed their names on the subjects they had chosen, they saw Hermione running in in a hurry.
"I found the man who was expelled from school fifty years ago."
Hermione lowered her voice and said eagerly, "It was Hagrid. It was Hagrid who opened the Chamber of Secrets fifty years ago."
"That's impossible!" Harry stood up hastily.
"I hope it's not him, but the evidence I found is against him." Hermione continued, "Because I couldn't find any information in the library, I wrote a letter to the editor-in-chief of the "Daily Prophet" Mr. Goodfell." Letter, asking for his help."
"Then what did he say?"
"He sent me back a newspaper from fifty years ago." Hermione took out a newspaper, "Look here, it says that Rubeus Hagrid caused a serious accident at Hogwarts , was expelled from school."
"What is this? We already knew that Hagrid was expelled!" Harry said unwillingly.
"Pay attention to the time of the report, Harry!" said Hermione, "think of the newspaper clipping that Ivan showed us fifty years ago, which said that there was an accident in the school, and the crying Myrtle was the was the victim of an accident. Hagrid was expelled from school shortly after this, again for causing a serious accident."
"Perhaps, these two things are not connected." Harry said distressedly.
"But since Hagrid was kicked out, the attacks have stopped!" Hermione sighed, "Do you think there is something serious enough to expel a student from the school. Think about it, the last time we were in Knockturn Alley Met Hagrid."
"He was just there to buy a potion to get rid of flesh-eating slugs." Harry raised his voice, "Hermione, Hagrid would never kill someone on purpose!"
"He certainly won't, but the monster he raised is hard to say." Hermione said hesitantly, "Hagrid likes dangerous animals, he thinks they are very interesting, think about what he raised in school last year Well, a giant three-headed dog and a baby dragon. You see, shouldn't we ask Hagrid about these things?"
"That was a lovely visit. Hi, Hagrid, tell us, have you let out some savage, hairy thing in the castle lately?"
"That's not funny at all, Ron, out of an abundance of caution, I think . . . "
"No, Hermione! Hagrid is definitely innocent, I believe him." Harry said stubbornly.
All four were silent, and the atmosphere was awkward. For a long time, no one spoke.
