After Lockhart finished speaking, he walked away, and judging from the direction he was heading, he should be going to find Harry.
As soon as he left, Professor McGonagall immediately looked at Kyle.
"Don't pay attention to that tree. If you want to live well, stay away from it, and..."
She pursed her lips and continued, "You have a lot of courses to learn this year. I suggest you read more useful books, such as... those related to magic runes."
"Okay, Professor," Kyle said.
In fact, he had never even read the book "Wandering with Werewolves" and he just said it casually. Unexpectedly, Lockhart not only did not refute him, but also gave him ten points.
This is really an unexpected gain.
Professor McGonagall nodded.
"Now let's talk about you."
Sprout said, "Unfortunately, Kyle, your application for the Time Turner was not successful, so you may have to reselect your class schedule."
"Failed?" Kyle was stunned for a moment, "But Percy had already..."
“This time is different.”
Professor Sprout shook his head and said, "All time turners are kept in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic, but it is now tightly sealed and letters cannot be sent in at all."
"Just yesterday, we also tried to ask Professor Dumbledore to come forward..." Professor McGonagall said, "but he also failed."
"Even Headmaster Dumbledore can't get in?" Kyle asked in surprise.
"No, he went to the Department of Mysteries." Professor McGonagall looked at Kyle meaningfully, "But someone rejected the application on the grounds that all time turners were in use and there were no extra ones available for the little wizard to use."
"Uh... no extra ones?" Kyle was a little confused.
"Yes, so you should choose your course again."
Professor Sprout took out a new schedule with a little dirt on it and handed it to Kyle, "Hurry up and don't miss the class."
Kyle took the schedule and thought for a moment before saying, "Professor, I still want to choose both."
"But the Time-Turner..." Professor Sprout frowned.
"It's okay." Kyle said quickly, "I want a place to take the exam, so as long as you agree, I only need to take one of the courses when the courses conflict."
"ah?"
Professor Sprout has been at Hogwarts for decades, and this is the first time he has heard such an outrageous request.
She subconsciously looked to the side and found that Professor McGonagall was also frowning.
The two of them had a quick discussion...
"Are you sure, Kyle?"
Professor McGonagall said seriously, "You have to understand that getting all O's in ten subjects is not the same as getting ten O's in twelve subjects."
"I know." Kyle nodded.
"Well then," said Professor McGonagall, "if you insist, I will talk to the other professors, and you can choose the courses you want to take according to your own ideas."
"But..." Professor McGonagall reminded, "This is limited to six elective courses."
"Of course..." Kyle smiled, "I won't miss any Transfiguration class or Herbology class."
Professor McGonagall smiled, which was a rare moment.
Professor Sprout also forgot the unpleasantness that Lockhart had brought him before, and smiled as he gave Kyle a branch of the Whomping Willow.
Although not as important as the roots, the branches of the Whomping Willow are also a very rare potion ingredient and are expensive.
The piece given by Professor Sprout could be exchanged for at least twenty Galleons if taken to the shop in Diagon Alley.
Moreover, in the entire British wizarding world, there is only this one Whomping Willow in Hogwarts. If Harry and Ron really damage it, the loss will be too great.
After discussing the course selection, the two professors left.
This time, Kyle did not follow Professor McGonagall into the castle, but walked towards the Forbidden Forest not far away.
Although I didn't get the time turner, this result is not bad either.
The professors wouldn't think there was anything wrong with it, as he could use the time to do something else.
Of course, it is not so easy to get Professor McGonagall to agree to such a request. It can even be said to be more difficult than applying for a time turner.
Aside from the fact that the Department of Mysteries just happened to reject his application, Kyle's perfect transcripts from the previous two years also played a big role.
Otherwise... skipping class? Don't even think about it!
But you must go to the first class.
Kyle walked across the grounds, towards the Forbidden Forest, and on the way he saw Lockhart talking to Harry.
Because the distance was a bit far, Kyle didn't hear clearly what the two said, but from Harry's expression, he didn't seem to want to chat with Lockhart.
Professor Kettleburn's Care of Magical Creatures class was on the other side of the Forbidden Forest, closer to the Quidditch pitch.
He cleared a large open space there, which was used specifically for classes for students.
Connor also took this course, and she was already waiting there when Kyle arrived.

"What does Professor Sprout want to see you for?" she asked. "Do you need any help?"
"No, there was just a problem with my class schedule. It's been fixed."
Kyle did not hide anything and told her directly about his failed application for a time converter, including the subsequent solution.
Although Professor McGonagall asked him to keep it a secret, there would be no secrets in Hogwarts... This is common sense.
"You're going to take twelve subjects?" Kanna was a little surprised. "You already have the Order of Merlin, do you still need those certificates?"
"I have nothing to do anyway, and it's not that difficult anyway, so I might as well take the test for fun." Kyle said as a matter of course, "The main thing is that I can skip class openly, how great is that."
"So, being able to skip class is the key point!" Kanna stared at him.
Kyle shrugged and said nothing.
really!
Kanna rolled her eyes and she asked unnecessarily.
As the two were talking, Professor Kettleburn also walked out of the Forbidden Forest.
He seemed to be injured again, and was covered in dirt. His previous prosthetic leg was gone, replaced by an ordinary wooden stick, which should be a substitute picked up from the Forbidden Forest.
This also caused him to walk with a limp.
Many students who met the professor for the first time were terrified.
Is Care of Magical Creatures so dangerous? Some people began to back out, wondering if it was too late to change classes.
Professor Kettleburn didn't care about the different expressions on the little wizards' faces.
This happens every year and he's used to it.
Moreover, ever since he was hit by the unicorn, he had been thinking about retiring, and this year would probably be his last year at Hogwarts.
Professor Kettleburn found Kyle in the crowd and nodded with satisfaction.
"For the first lesson, let's learn Bowtruckle!"
Professor Kettleburn opened the pocket of his clothes, and five or six creatures that looked like plant sprouts crawled out.
"Does anyone know about it?"
Kyle raised his hand:
"Bowtruckles are gentle magical animals that usually live on mountain pear trees or other tall trees. But if someone wants to destroy those trees, they will also attack them.
Unless you have their favorite turtle with you."
"Absolutely right, ten points for Hufflepuff!"
Kettleburn smiled and said, "The bastards are in the box next to you. Each of you take a small bag and then move closer..."
