So Mr Rosier owled me this morning already and had all sorts of advice about what I should take. He said I didn't need to ask Professor Lockhart for a recommendation to take Dark Arts because he'd write to Miss Professor Carrow himself. He said Divination can be worth taking simply to reinforce how 'generally inapplicable to anything in particular' it is, and that Care of Magical Creatures is enjoyable but 'somewhat overspecialised,' I think he means I'm not likely to wind up as a dragon keeper like Charlie Weasley. And he said Arithmancy was 'intellectually taxing but potentially highly rewarding to a diligent student' and Ancient Runes is 'more useful than you'd think, but less useful than you'd hope.'

So I still don't know.

Other than Dark Arts. If I get in, anyway. He definitely thought I should take Dark Arts if Miss Professor Carrow would let me.

Maybe.

But that's one of the things that mudbloods are so good for, right? I mean, some Muggles can't even see certain magical creatures. But mudbloods can tell they're there, at least, and take care of them if they're trained properly. With wizard supervision, of course.

I guess it would be helpful to be able to know what to do with them, and all. And like you said about Mr Rosier and Divination, to know if the help are lying to you about your creature collection.

Really, I think Parvati just wants to take it to study unicorns more. She's still really proud of being chosen to lead the unicorn ceremony last year.
