Also, Care of Magical Creatures is probably an "easy A" (or whatever the
top mark at Hogwarts is).  Hagrid may introduce them to ridiculously
dangerous beasts, but his coursework doesn't seem too intellectually
challenging.  After all, the CoMC final exam in PoA was simply keeping
flobberworms alive until the exam period was over.  How could Draco pass
up an easy grade like that?

The brilliant Cerebron, attacking the problem analytically, discovered
three distinct kinds of dragon: the mythical, the chimerical, and the
purely hypothetical.  They were all, one might say, nonexistent, but each
nonexisted in an entirely different way ...
