On another station, the Finance Minister's speech was being played. Hermione was about to change the channel when she was stopped by Tom: The man just now seemed familiar to Tom. After thinking about it carefully, Tom found that he actually appeared in Chris' memory.
!
He saw Finance Minister Eric written under the news headline, and Tom's eyes became dangerous.
But then Hermione changed the channel.
"They're all boring clichés," she switched a few more channels, but didn't see anything that suited her liking, so she simply turned off the TV.
"What should we do?" She felt a little bored for a moment, but when she saw Tom, her eyes suddenly lit up, "Let's go fishing!" She suddenly made such a suggestion.
"I still remember when I first met you, you went fishing at that lake!"
When Hermione said this, Tom also recalled the scene when the two first met.
He showed a smile and said, "Winter is not very suitable for fishing, and it's a bit cold outside."
"It's okay!" Hermione jumped up from the sofa, ran quickly to the storage room on the third floor, and brought down a fishing rod. Then, Hermione and Tom came outside together.
Although London is a place with continuous rain all year round, there are still very few sub-zero temperatures. In December, the average daily minimum temperature is 3℃ and the average daily maximum temperature is 8℃. It is not too cold to say that it is cold, but this temperature is by no means cold.
Comfortable.
On the way to the lake, Tom gave Hermione some knowledge about winter fishing.
Generally speaking, winter is not very suitable for fishing, because the water temperature at this time is too low, and the fish will become inactive and lose their appetite due to the lower water temperature. If you don’t want to eat the bait, you will naturally not take the bait. However, it is not impossible to fish in winter, it’s just that
It requires the correct method. There are many anglers who even go fishing specifically in winter.
For example, if you open an opening on a frozen lake, fish will gather nearby for air. Or the weather is also a very important factor. On a day when the temperature drops, the cold air will take away the heat of the water, making the upper surface of the water colder, and the cold water will
It sinks and creates convection with the warm water below. At this time, the fish in the water will eat quickly and store energy.
Tom and Hermione came to the lake. At this time, it can be said that everything was withered. The green shades on the lakeside had disappeared, and the water plants on the lakeside were also a little yellow. Tom did not stop to fish in a hurry, he walked around the lake.
Got up.
When fishing in winter, it is also important to choose a place with stable water temperature.
Finally, he selected a lake where the sun could find it. There was a groove on the edge of the lake, and the water here was almost still.
Tom sat here and threw the bait. Hermione sat next to him, and the hair at the end of her hair swept his nose in the wind, making him itchy. He shook his head slightly to restrain his trembling.
The desire to sneeze. Although it was a little uncomfortable, the shampoo Hermione used smelled really good.
Blue sky and white clouds, a peaceful holiday, a quiet lakeside, plus a cute girl, time freezes at this moment...
Life at Granger's house was comfortable. Although Tom was a little embarrassed when he faced the Grangers on the first day, he gradually relaxed. During the time he stayed at Granger's house, Tom even became a
"Other people's children", this is also an extremely rare experience for Hermione:
"Hermione, you're staying in bed again—"
"Hermione, look at Tom, he has been studying since he woke up early..."
"Hermione Granger—!"
Hermione:(((;???;)))
Seeing Hermione's expression, Tom felt that there was a high probability that he would not be invited next year.
The days passed like this, and the Christmas holiday disappeared all of a sudden, as if the holiday had never existed. After the Christmas holiday, the calendar jumped to 1993.
Four months have passed since the battle in the common room, and life in Hogwarts has returned to normal. In March, Professor Sprout cultivated the Mandrake for nearly half a year in the first place.
A lively, noisy, and extremely dangerous dance party was held in the San greenhouse.
These mandrakes are nearly mature and their cry is deadly.
When they want to be moved to other Mandrake pots, they will be fully mature. At that time, the petrified "Tom" in the ward will be revived.
Along with April comes Easter.
There are two major holidays in Hogwarts during the academic year: Christmas holiday and Easter holiday. Easter is an important holiday in the Western world. It falls on the first Sunday after the full moon of the spring equinox every year. Since the spring equinox is different every year,
It is fixed, so the specific date of Easter each year is also uncertain.
Easter in 1993 fell on April 11, which happened to be a Sunday.
During the Easter holiday, all the professors left homework, except for Tom - he had to take exams after the holiday, so he waived all homework and only asked everyone to review. To be honest, the vast majority of students would rather he stayed alone.
ft. papers and other assignments and are unwilling to face exams.
Sophomores have one more thing to think about than students in other grades: course selection. The curriculum at Hogwarts is somewhat similar to other British universities. The first and second graders only take Transfiguration, Charms, Potions, and Herbology.
, seven compulsory courses: History of Magic, Defense Against the Dark Arts and Astronomy. Of course, there are also two limited compulsory courses: flying courses and Apparition training courses. These are only open during specific periods. Students entering the third year
They also need to choose at least two elective courses from the five elective courses: Divination, Arithmancy, Muggle Studies, Ancient Rune Studies, and Care of Magical Creatures.
After entering fifth grade and taking the O.W.L. exam, students can choose subjects from their favorite professors, and can also study some special subjects, such as alchemy.
The young wizards, including Tom, should choose third-year courses. In Hermione's opinion, this matter needs to be treated with caution.
"Really, you might as well keep your identity as Lockhart and keep teaching." While studying the new lesson, Hermione gave Tom an unreliable suggestion.
"Forget it, I'll resign after sending this year's students to the examination room." Tom firmly stated that he would never teach as Lockhart again, not to mention the curse and the matter of Mandrake about to mature.
It's the work pressure that makes Tom breathless - a real 997, almost seven days a week! If he becomes the dean, he will directly become 007 - Professor Snape doesn't even have time to wash his hair.
"I've done some research, and this class selection will affect our entire future!" Hermione said to Tom seriously, "So what do you think, which classes do you want to sign up for?"
