The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 111 Constellations and Electives

April Fool's Day, on this meaningful day, the great god of mischief Weasley twin stars Fred and George ushered in their 13th birthday, of course the "great god of mischief" is shameless The two brothers named themselves, Ada would not agree.

Some aspects of the twins are quite in line with the characteristics of Aries people. They are very creative, ignore the rules, and like an unrestrained life. Although their pranks are sometimes annoying, the two brothers will also warm others from time to time.

Aries is the first constellation of the zodiac and spring. Although the spring is cold, it is a season of growth and vitality for all things.The same goes for Fred and George, brothers always full of energy, with a great interest in discovery and exploration, for which the castle and the Forbidden Forest have suffered a lot from them.

From this point of view, the statement of the constellation seems to be quite accurate, but it doesn't make sense at all when it comes to Ada.Libras born in autumn are usually amiable, easy-going and docile, but these two words really have nothing to do with Ida or Coppernut.

Avery, Flint, and Toller all know that if anyone thinks Ida is approachable, and Ida doesn't mind letting people know what "applicability" is.

Being easy-going and docile is nonsense. Ada is very polite in dealing with people, but her manners always have a strong sense of alienation. The first thing you want to make friends with Ada is to have a thick skin, and then you can Continue to the next step.

And Ida has always had a bad temper. Among all the Gryffindor students, Professor McGonagall is most worried about Ida.Although the twins are constantly deducting points and violating school rules, they are a steady stream of water, but Ida is not like this. Professor McGonagall is afraid that Ida will make a big news for her one day, deducting dozens of points or something.

Fred and George's birthday this year was not the same as last year. It was just that several family members and friends got together to say a few words of blessing and shared the cake sent by Mrs. Weasley.

A few days after the twins' birthdays, it was the Easter holiday, and the house elves also prepared an Easter meal at the dinner party, including ham, roast lamb, pancakes and eggs made of chocolate.

Isn't it strange that a group of wizards not only celebrate Christmas, but also celebrate Easter?In the Middle Ages, how many wizards were burned in the name of his old man, but now a group of wizards are making more noise than muggles on his birthday and resurrection day!
It’s not that Ida didn’t think about the reasons. For example, everyone used to skip these festivals, but suddenly one day, driven by someone, everyone found that celebrating festivals is a very interesting thing.

So the wizards were divided into two factions, one group celebrated the festival, and the other group followed the old rules and did not celebrate Muggle festivals, and then the wizards who did not celebrate the festival failed to continue the bloodline, and only the wizards who did not celebrate the festival passed down.

Of course, there is another argument: Muggles are busy celebrating these two festivals, there is no time for witch hunts, and wizards will not be persecuted by Muggles during the festival.Over time, these two festivals were accepted by wizards and became part of wizard culture, and they also began to celebrate these two festivals.

Compared with Ada's own malicious speculation, the latter statement is obviously more justified and convincing.The latter statement is inferred based on some content in the history of magic, while Ada's speculation is completely out of thin air.

In the Twilight Cabin, the twins were inventing small creations. They replaced part of the structure of the Filipard fireworks, replaced this part with something they made themselves, and tried to ignite the newly assembled fireworks.

Ada was sitting in an armchair by the window, the afternoon sun shone warmly on her body, and she was fiddling with the elective schedule in her hands.Second-year students need to choose their third-year elective courses during the Easter holiday, and they must submit them to the school after the holiday, so that the school can schedule the students' courses.

Ancient Runes, Arithmetic and Divination, Protection of Magical Creatures, Divination, and Muggle Studies. Among these courses, Ada needs to choose at least two courses. Of course, if you really have enough time, You can also choose all of them.

Ancient Runes is a theoretical course, mainly to study the magic manuscripts of ancient runes. Ada must take this course.

Many magic manuscripts use ancient runes. Ada hopes that through her own study, she can find out some powerful magic from these manuscripts, and by the way, she can also figure out what the inscription on the ring means.

Of the remaining courses, Ada actually didn't really want to choose any of them.Muggle Studies This course has nothing to do with magic. It mainly studies the culture, history and development of Muggles. Ida still needs to learn this stuff?
If you don't choose, if you choose, it's a waste of time and a slow suicide!

The Protection of Magical Creatures class sounds interesting, but Hagrid casts too much shadow on Ada. Although Graplan is teaching this class, the two of them should have a lot in common, and they should both like it. magical creature.

Every time I go to class, I get along with a group of "cute furry". Thinking about that scene makes me shudder. Ida doesn't want to know where the magical creatures are, she just wants to know if the magical animals are in the pot!Ada's soul comes from a nation that can use "Shan Hai Jing" as a recipe.

The last two subjects are related to divination. Whether they are wizards or Muggles, they have many similarities. As long as they are human beings, they all have a strong obsession with predicting the future. This is the instinct of human beings to seek good fortune and avoid evil.

The professor of divination is Sybill Trelawney. She hides in the small attic of Hogwarts and drinks every day. She looks more like a crazy liar than the famous seer Cassandra Great-great-granddaughter of Trelawney.

Many senior students also dislike this professor who smells like sherry wine all over his body. Can such a crazy and unreliable teacher really teach such mysterious courses?
Different from the divination class of looking at crystal balls, tea leaves, or palmistry, arithmetic divination is a subject based on a series of rules and rigorous mathematical operations, which reminds Ada of the person who set up a stall to measure characters in the square in her previous life.

It sounds like arithmetic divination uses science to make predictions, a bit like occult science, but Ada still thinks that arithmetic divination is more like a civil science, and the teacher who teaches this course is also like a folk scientist.

"Fred, George, what elective courses did you choose?" Ada, who had some difficulty choosing, could only seek help from the sidelines, and she asked the two little "black men".

"Ahem, protection of magical creatures and divination classes." Fred wiped off the black ashes on his face and said. Dr. Philippe's fireworks became a squib, but he still sprayed ashes on the faces of the two brothers.

Ada pulled out her wand, cast a "clean up" on the two and their positions, and then used the "disappearance spell" to clean up the remains of Dr. Philip's fireworks.

"I heard that divination can be completed as long as you can make up nonsense, and protection of magical creatures is the only optional course that is taught outdoors." George explained the reason why the two chose these two courses.

"What did you choose?"

"Ancient runes," Ada said, "I didn't think about the rest."

"Then choose the same one as us, so there's no need to worry about it." George said puzzled.

Fred even went directly to Ada's side, picked up Ada's elective course schedule, swished her to choose the courses, and then returned the schedule to Ada.

He took the timetable and looked at it. Apart from the ancient runes, Fred had written all the lessons on divination and protection of magical creatures.Obviously only need to choose two elective courses, but now it has become three. As a result, Ada has a lot less time to spend freely.

I don't know if Ada is going to go to Professor McGonagall to change a schedule now, and it's too late...
