I need to finish deciding on my schedule for this year so that I can have the rest of my books delivered. Professor McGonagall told me last year that I would need five N.E.W.T.s to apply to be an auror, and that four of those should be Defense Against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration, Charms, and Potions. I got Outstandings in D.A.D.A. and Potions, and Exceeds Expectations in both Charms and Transfiguration, so I've been planning to take all of them.
Essentially, the fifth N.E.W.T. is up to me, but Hermione say that I should take at least two N.E.W.T. level classes, just in case, and more if I can, since every N.E.W.T. gives you a better chance of getting hired. So, I have to pick from the rest that I scored well on. The Care of Magical Creatures exam was easy enough that I scored an O, and I earned an E on the Herbology and Astronomy (they must have scaled the scores to reflect the fact that no one was able to finish the test). Divination and History of Magic are right out, since I scored an Acceptable on the History exam and a Poor on Divination. Hagrid would be mortified if I dropped Care of Magical Creatures, and Herbology and Astronomy are interesting every so often, so I guess I'll sign up for seven N.E.W.T. classes altogether. That way, I'll have the best chance of getting a total of five N.E.W.T.s.
On top of that, I've heard some rumors about new "elective" classes, but who knows if they're true or what will be offered, and I also have to resume my, er, remedial potions sessions, only this time with Dumbledore. Er, yes, potions with Dumbledore...he, of course, knows a lot about them. Yeah. He thought he...might help me get my N.E.W.T.
Where's a time-turner when you need one?
