Time-Turner

True to her reputation as a top student and a know-it-all, Hermione's attitude towards elective courses was, "I want them all!"

However, Hermione's plans and Ron's persuasion reminded Lucien of something.

Choosing all five elective courses wouldn't actually be very helpful to him.

However, if you choose both, you will be able to access a very magical item— the Time-Turner.

As the name suggests, this thing can manipulate time, allowing users to go back in time and relive a period of time.

This allows a person to appear in multiple different places within the same timeframe—first attending class A, then using Time-Turner to go back an hour to attend class B.

Of course, the Time-Turner seems to be strictly controlled by the Ministry of Magic, and can only be used after strict application and approval.

Lucien couldn't help but wonder if this thing was so overpowered that it only appeared in the third year and hadn't been used since?

After all, if time could really be reversed, many things could be changed—such as saving the dead or preventing disasters from happening.

Or rather, does the Time-Turner actually have some significant limitations?

However, no matter how many restrictions there are, they cannot obscure its amazing qualities.

It involves time, I really want to get my hands on it and study it.

It's probably an alchemical creation; if only I could make a replica...

Lucien's thoughts drifted away for a moment, then Hermione's voice pulled him back.

"Lucien, what do you think?" Hermione asked, looking at him with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

Lucien smiled slightly:

"You can try it if you're interested. If there are any courses you don't like, you can withdraw within the first two weeks without affecting your grades."

Hermione nodded quickly in agreement.

"Regarding the issue of course scheduling conflicts," Lucien paused, thinking for a moment, "Well, you could ask Deng... ask Professor McGonagall. As the vice-principal, she certainly knows how to handle these kinds of course selection conflicts."

He instinctively wanted to say "Dumbledore," but then he thought that this kind of teaching management was mainly Professor McGonagall's responsibility, and that Dumbledore had been away from the school a lot lately.

Professor McGonagall has already taken on most of the day-to-day management responsibilities. If this continues, the "vice" in her title should probably be dropped.

Hermione blinked, seemingly lost in thought.

"Also," Lucien added, "If I were to take Divination and Arithmancy classes, I might face the same dilemma as you. We could go see Professor McGonagall together then."

Hermione nodded happily; she knew Lucien would support her and offer a solution.

He then excitedly chatted with Lucien about the elective courses—he'd heard that the Arithmancy professor was very strict, the Ancient Runes class required memorizing a lot of things, and the Divination Professor Trelawney, was supposedly a bit eccentric...

Seeing that his persuasion was ineffective, and even made Lucien consider multiple options, Ron scratched his head helplessly.

He's right, isn't he? How can one person attend two classes at the same time?

You can only take a maximum of elective courses.

Ron suddenly froze.

Three choices, four choices...

Wait a minute, his third Percy seems to have taken several elective courses.

At least four doors, maybe even five!

Percy consistently ranked at the top of his class, always first in his grade, and there was never any news of him skipping a class due to scheduling conflicts.

How did Percy manage to attend all those classes at the same time?

Could it be some kind of clone magic?

Could you split yourself in two and throw yourself into different classrooms?

Or is there some special course arrangement?

Ron decided to go back and ask Percy, and also to find out in advance for Lucien and Hermione how their extremely hardworking brother handled this kind of thing.

Harry remained silent, oblivious to the fact that the Chocolate Frog in his hand was almost melting.

He was hesitating about course selection; he was definitely going to choose "Protect Magical Creatures," but what about the rest...?

I'm really not sure. Ancient Runes are too difficult, Arithmancy is a headache just from the names alone. Divination is easy, but Lucien said that requires talent.

Muggle Studies?

Harry plans to consult with Lucien privately after today's small gathering ends.

They not only ask which courses to choose, but also about future career plans.

Harry knew that Lucien was not only intelligent and good at learning, but also came from an extraordinary background in the Muggle world and was very knowledgeable, knowing much more than his peers.

He can definitely give him advice that suits his own needs.
