Hogwarts: The Cat Wizard of the Moving Castle.

After some commonplace talk, Dumbledore announced the winner of this year's Academy Cup.

Sure enough - Slytherin!

This is the ninth consecutive term.

Professor McGonagall shook her head regretfully, and then shook hands with Snape.

The dinner lasted for a long time. There were so many things worth talking about this year, such as the commotion in the secret room, the duel competition, and the investigation report about Slytherin's inexplicable appearance.

It wasn't until nine o'clock in the night, almost the curfew time, that the banquet came to an end.

Afterwards, Harry was called to the fifth floor of the west tower.

Sirius and Lupine stood together, each holding a broomstick.

"This is?"

"We have to go, Harry." Sirius smiled, his hand moving towards his head involuntarily, and then after seeing his neat hair, he put his hand on his shoulder.

"Going home?" Harry asked.

He didn't get along much with the godfather during this period, but he could feel the other person's concern for him.

"Yes. Home." Sirius didn't know how to say it, but he confirmed it vaguely: "It's in London. I must come over during the holidays. I will send you a letter. You and Jones will come."

Harry nodded: "If there is a chance, definitely!"

Then he looked at Lupine: "Sir, are you going to--"

"I'll go to his house." Lu Ping smiled, and after saying that, he was hugged by a big hand involuntarily.

Sirius smiled and said, "My home is his home!"

Lupine spread his hands and then said: "I will be there until school starts."

"School starts?!" Harry said in surprise, and then quickly reacted.

Lupine stretched out a finger and made a whispering gesture: "Hush, there is no need to spread this news yet. Professor Keltburn has not retired yet."

Harry was stunned for a moment. At first he thought it was some casual job like a librarian.

I didn’t expect it to be a professor.

"Okay." Harry nodded, thinking in his mind: It seems that he has to go to Sirius's house. He can first explore the professor's teaching content!

"Anyway, when you get there, write if you have anything to do. You can trust us." Sirius finally hugged Harry and said seriously.

"Definitely." Harry nodded and said his final farewell to the two of them.

Walking alone in the empty castle, Harry was not thinking about everything that happened this year, but began to think about plans for the next semester.

As for the elective courses, the Care of Magical Creatures course was already a certainty. This was an extremely special aspect of the magical world that he had to learn to understand.

There is no way he would give up on the ancient magic text course.

There was also Arithmancy, a subject that Harry really couldn't refuse.

Arithmetic divination and divination are two completely different things. The latter emphasizes talent, spirituality, and communication with the world.

To be honest, although Harry occasionally played with citrine, he always felt that it was unreliable.

To be precise, it is not as reliable as a fist.

At least that’s what Uncle Mu En told him!

Arithmetic divination is different. From Harry's current understanding, this course is about expressing observations of the real world in the form of numbers and calculating them with logical formulas to achieve divination effects.

In other words, this is more real than looking at tea leaves or playing with a crystal ball.

Although it is impossible to predict what will happen decades from now and can only make a rough calculation of short-term events, these are all deductions based on logic.

He is not so particular about the so-called divination talent, and he is much better at divination results.

Learn this and practice your logical thinking skills!

This was Harry's plan.

You know, if you want to apply for a job as a curse breaker at Gringotts Wizarding Bank, you need to obtain an OWLs certificate in arithmetic divination.

As for the divination course, Harry didn't know.

He might not be able to make a judgment until he returns to Hogwarts in two months, knows the schedule between courses, and consults with Uncle Moon and Professor Snape.

If it doesn't work, give it up.

Thinking about it, he had already arrived underground.

After looking left and right, Harry set his sights on the corridor on the left.

Over there is Professor Snape's office.

Harry knew that one of the few people in the castle who knew his mother was there.

but--

Harry turned around and walked towards the lounge.

But he really didn't know how to say it.

That's it for now, go to bed first.

Early the next morning, their luggage was suddenly all packed. Notices were sent to every student, warning them not to use magic during the holidays.

What follows is the report card.

Hermione first, Harry second.

"Third place!!" Draco's scream echoed throughout the Slytherin table.

Facing the gazes suddenly focused on him, he pinched his throat in embarrassment, coughed twice to clear his throat, and then said: "Sorry, I accidentally sounded too loud. This is not a good result. Don't worry about it. .”

But looking at his flushed face, it was obvious that he was as excited as a volcano.

After breakfast, a group of students left the castle in a mighty manner.

Among the crowd, the high-spirited Draco took the lead and mounted the Thestral.

Facing the doubts and curiosity of the people around him, he introduced the magical animals under him like Napoleon, and said: "Only those who have seen and felt death can see them! They are the agents of death, and they can only be seen by those who have experienced death." I will surrender to someone with superb magic!"

Harry shook his head helplessly. It seemed that Draco said last time that it would take some time to get rid of the habit of bragging.

Or - now!

Yeqi seemed to understand what he said and shook his body unhappily. In the eyes of most young wizards, he was floating in the air, bouncing, and then falling to the ground.

Fortunately, his duel training was not in vain, otherwise he would have ended up like a loser.

Not long after, all the little wizards boarded the train. Harry and the others found an empty box and began to discuss holiday arrangements.

"I wrote to my dad before and said that I would contact a tutor in London to help me with math during the holidays." Hermione said, "Do you remember what you said last time? Mathematics is very important."

"Yes." Harry nodded, feeling a little hot in his heart: "Is it really okay?"

"Of course, there is no charge for having one more person. I used to pester my father to hire a tutor for me." Hermione nodded affirmatively.

"Mathematics?" Draco was a little curious. He was very ambitious now and wanted to trample Harry and Hermione under his feet next year.

Carve his name on that "throne"!

Could this thing in mathematics be the reason why Harry and Hermione surpassed me? Draco thought to himself.
