Bloody hippogriffs part 58

When Harry, Emma and their friends minus Luna arrived at the Great Hall, They were forced to thoroughly ignore Malfoy's taunts regarding Harry fainting on the train.

"Smarmy git." Said Fred.

"Yeah he wasn't so cheery when that thing came on the train." Said George.

"Yeah he came into our compartment screaming like a girl who'd just been asked out by Snape." Said Lee

"Didn't faint though." Said Harry.

"I guess not." Said George. "But don't worry about it, Dementors are horrible creatures. Look here come the timetables, let's see if you get any of your new subjects."

Professor McGonagall handed out the timetables and Harry, Ron, Hermione and Neville all looked them over.

"Hermione, yours is all messed up." Said Fred. "It says you have Arithmancy and Divination at the same time."

"It's alright, I have it worked out." Said Hermione "I spoke to Professor McGonagall."

"I don't understand." Said Fred.

"She's not allowed to talk about it." Said Harry "For the record I think you're being crazy. Do you know how much homework you'll have?"

"I do." Said Hermione "I'll be fine Harry, please don't worry."

Harry shook his head. Because she spent so much time with him, Ron and Neville they would inevitably notice that she was in more than one place at a time. So McGonagall had told the three of them, as well as Hermione, about the Time Turner.

"Looks like we've got Arithmancy first." Said Harry.

"Not me, I've Divination." Said Ron.

"I'll meet you there, I need to go with Harry and Neville first." Said Hermione.

The Previous Evening

Emma and the other Second Years left with Madam Pomfrey to go to the Sorting Ceremony leaving McGonagall with Harry, Ron, Neville and Hermione.

"Now Miss Granger. I understand that you are wishing to study all five electives this year?"

"Yes Professor." Said Hermione.

"At Hogwarts, while we can allow our students to study more than three electives we generally don't. Understand that it is only because of your exceptional academic performance that we are willing to allow you to do so. Despite that though, I must tell you that every year the amount of work students receive is greater than that of any previous year. Your Third Year is no exception and bear in mind that you are planning to sit all of these classes for at least the next three years, which includes your O.W.L Year. So I must ask. Are you sure?"

Hermione looked a bit taken aback by the lecture "Yes."

"Miss Granger, you have a high level of academic achievement. If your marks begin to fall this year, I will want to know why. If I find out that your workload is causing your overall performance to suffer then I may pull you from one or two electives. Out of all students who attempt significant extra education, about two thirds find themselves unable to meet the demands expected of them, Hogwarts actually no longer allows its student to skip years any more for this reason. So I must ask again, are you sure about this?"
