Electives

I couldn't find a good solution, but had the idea to look for solutions from other people. Namely Newt Scamander, who had beasts from this world, and Ryoma, who has the same ability than me.

Newt has a suitcase, so I didn't thought of him in the beginning, but as I remembered he has different Biotope, I wanted to recreate those with Ryomas ability. At least that's the plan.

To do that, my space still needed to grow a little, but not as much as when I put it in one environment.

Then I needed enough magic to seperate a space from the main plane with a spacial wall. That would be the hardest part.

At the end the wall needs a door or corridor to give me access to both sides. It would be my project for the schoolyear as it would take some time, but maybe I could finish it till christmas.

In the time till then I gave Ash a big tree that was time the size of those in the forest inside to make a temporary place to stay.

My new schoolyear started and 2 things were different.

Or at least it felt so for me. It would be the last year for my sister and she needed a lot of time to prepare for her exams.

So we reduced the pranks to the bare minimum, but planned a great exit for her last ceremony. Going with a Bang, as she says.

The second thing were my new classes.

I am now a third-year student and had electives.

It shouldn't be a surprise that I choose Care of Magical Creatures (after this CMC) and my second was Ancient Runes as I wanted to create gadgets and toys with magical effects. What should be a surprise is that I took a third elective. We only needed two, but I wanted to take Arithmancy, as I have the mathematical knowledge of my past life. So I use it to try to strenghten my spells, as those advanced spells could protect my friends, animal and human alike, or me in the future times.

If I didn't achieve that with the course, I could drop it and train on my own with more time in the RoR.

With three new subjects my timetable also showed fewer freetime as additional to the 9 hours in class, I invested more time in homework.

I had to choose between reducing my time with friends, familiars or training. I wouldn't see my pets less and still wanted to interact with my friends as I didn't have some in my past life, so my training time in the RoR was reduced from daily to three four times a week and two sessions were at the weekend.

CMC was interesting as Professor Kettleburn showed us with a lot of practical knowledge how to take care of less dangerous species than Hagrid in canon. He explained the curriculum of the year would include flobberworms, bowtruckles and augureys. Flobberworms as the only creature in the X category was our first project. Then we would go over to the XX beasts such as the Irish phoenix (augurey).

Ancient Runes needed a good understanding or the runic language.

Elder Futhark Was the first runes we would study, but in the future we could use others such as japanese Kanji. We wrote our first letters down with great precision and focus, but still made minor mistakes that could change the outcome.

Arithmancy needed calculations with formulas, so it was a little advanced even for me, but with my experience I had an easier time than total beginners like the others as even muggleborns had only primary school knowledge. It was a long way till I could create my own magic, but I should be able to improve easy spells like 'Lumos' after the winterbreak.

The weeks passed and our studygroup had a few new members, but as older students already graduated or am graduating this year, our number didn't improve that much since the last year.

My magic space grew by a small margin, but I was still happy.

I became even happier as I got a message shortly before Halloween from Hagrid, that he had a present for me.

So I made my way to his hut.

What could he have for me?

I just hope he didn't experiment with hybrids like his blast-ended-screws.

I'm not a fan of artificially created animals. Whether they are magical or not.
