Arthur, standing in the distance, had also been watching the commotion Draco caused.
When he saw Draco teasing Ginny, Arthur suddenly had a thought: what if the Weasley family's son-in-law turned out to be Draco?
Unlike the Ginny in the movie who didn't quite live up to the title of 'school beauty', the Ginny Arthur saw now was absolutely worthy of being called the school beauty.
Her delicate face, coupled with her thick, fiery red hair, made her look like a little elf.
According to Arthur's understanding of Draco, it was possible that if this bad boy teased Ginny for long enough, it would turn into a domineering CEO-style love story.
However, Ginny was also a Pure-blood, so they could be considered well-matched.
As for Ginny, it wasn't impossible for her to fall for Draco.
Ever since Ginny heard the story of Harry Potter, the Savior, when she was little, she became a fangirl of Harry, and then in her second year, she directly fell in love with Harry.
But under Arthur's influence, the Chamber of Secretsincident in the second year did not happen. So there was no hero saving the beauty by Harry for Ginny.
Instead, today, Draco saved Ginny.
At that time, under the darkness and cold brought by the Dementor, Draco's peacock undoubtedly brought her a bright and warm light.
In such a situation, it might actually be possible.
After returning, Draco didn't care about his earlier conversation with Ginny; his goal was simple, just as Ron had guessed, purely to annoy them.
Upon reaching the dormitory, he vividly demonstrated to Arthur the expressions on Ron and the others' faces at the time, then burst into laughter.
Under Arthur's influence, Draco was much better than in the original story, now somewhat resembling Harry's father, James Potter.
He wouldn't cause any major trouble; he was just a bit overconfident, always wanting to create some stir to get the other Little Wizards to notice him.
After mocking Harry and the others, he took out this year's timetable and asked, "Arthur, which courses did you choose?"
"Care of Magical Creatures Class and Divination Class."
Draco happily said, "That's great, it's the same as mine. But I chose these two courses on my father's recommendation."
Unlike the fixed courses in the first and second years, Hogwarts arranged elective courses for Little Wizardsin their third year.
There were a total of five elective courses: Care of Magical Creatures Class, Divination Class, Arithmancy Class, Ancient Runes, and Muggle Studies Class.
Each student was theoretically required to choose a minimum of two and a maximum of three.
Of course, one could also choose all of them, like Hermione. But that would require Dumbledore or a Dean like McGonagall to personally apply to the Ministry of Magic for a Time-Turner.
A Time-Turner was certainly a good thing, but it also had very significant limitations.
Firstly, in the Harry Potter world, history cannot be changed.
Secondly, for a Time-Turner not to cause serious harm to the user and time, the longest 'time travel' should be controlled within 5 hours; exceeding that makes accidents very likely.
Historically, many Wizards died while researching Time-Turners. This was information Arthur learned in the Department of Mysteries at the Ministry of Magic.
Additionally, the greater the user's magic, the greater the impact of time travel, and the shorter the usable duration. This is why Wizards like Dumbledore would not use such a 'superweapon'.
The same was true for Arthur.
His current magic value on the panel had already reached the terrifying figure of [2048], almost double that of an average Auror.
Therefore, he would not obtain a Time-Turner by choosing all elective courses now.
Even if he got it, it would only make him more fatigued due to the complex courses. In the future, there would be many opportunities to directly get this Time-Turner for free.
Therefore, among the five elective courses, he only chose Care of Magical Creatures Class and Divination Class.
Among these five elective courses, only these two actually allowed one to truly learn something.
Arithmancy Class was essentially calculating probabilities, using a series of rules and rigorous mathematical operations to obtain probabilities for divination results. This thing, placed in the world of Harry Potter, could only be said to be useless, like a Wizard putting down his wand and lighting a fire with a lighter.
Ancient Runes was even more useless for Arthur. Through the books from the House of Black and the books given by Nicolas Flamel, the greatest Alchemist. It was no exaggeration to say that he had already surpassed the Professor of Ancient Runes in this field.
As for Muggle Studies Class, there was even less need to study it. The Professor of this course himself viewed Muggles from a Wizard's perspective, and many things were his own ideas, without actual investigation.
The next morning, Arthur's first class this semester was Divination Class.
Sybill Trelawney had been waiting in the classroom very early for the third-year students who would be taking her class for the first time. As the great-granddaughter of the true prophet Cassandra Trelawney, she did possess some genuine ability.
Arthur chose her class also because he wanted to see if Trelawney would suddenly go crazy and make a real prophecy for him.
The Divination Class classroom was very different from other classrooms. The desks here were small round tables, on which were placed many tools needed for divination, such as teacups, crystal balls, tarot cards, playing cards, and so on. The classroom walls were also hung with various mysterious symbols and icons, making one feel as if they were in a mysterious world. Sunlight streamed through the colored glass windows into the classroom, adding an even more mysterious color to the entire classroom.
In terms of environmental atmosphere, Sybill Trelawney's classroom arrangement did have a bit of a diviner's feel.
Arthur and Draco sat at one table, as for Draco's cronies, due to their large bodies, they were chased by Draco to another table.
Only when all the Little Wizards were seated did Trelawney emerge from a dark corner, looking at the Little Wizards with her eyes magnified several times by her huge glasses, and said in a strange tone, "Welcome to Divination Class, I am Sybill Trelawney."
She began to spout nonsense to the Little Wizardssitting in front of her.
For example, who would have a bad major event happen around them in a month, who would get sick after how long, etc. Her 'predictions' made the Little Wizards in the classroom panic. The remaining Little Wizards who hadn't been called out widened their eyes, listening uneasily to every word Trelawney said, fearing that they would be the next to be named.
The entire classroom was enveloped in a tense atmosphere, and the Little Wizards were immersed in fear of the future. Before coming, they thought they were coming to learn magic, but they didn't expect to be called out by this 'Grim Reaper' Professor.
This was Trelawney's favorite thing to do at the beginning of each term: making prophecies of doom and disaster in front of gullible students. She seemed to enjoy this feeling, as if only this way could she experience the treatment of a prophet that her ancestors easily possessed, but which she yearned for.
Seeing that she had intimidated the Little Wizardspresent, she then announced today's lesson content: "Now, everyone, try to divide into groups of two, personally brew tea, and then drink the tea until only the tea leaves remain. Remember, it must be done by yourselves, both brewing and drinking. Then pass the cup to your partner and, referring to the patterns recorded in your textbook, 'Unfogging the Future,' divine a prophecy."
Because of Trelawney's somewhat charlatan-like performance just now, most of the Little Wizardsbelieved her.
Draco excitedly drank his tea. Arthur did the same; he wanted to see if Trelawney would suddenly blurt out some astonishing prophecy when she came near him. He felt that his influence on this world was still very significant, so the chance of it happening should be greater, right?
