The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 151 Clearing the fog, but the future is even more confused
Monday, September [-]nd, Ida was sitting in the auditorium having breakfast, and the twins were talking to her about last night's map sales.Although the sales of the upgraded maps were good, the old maps resold by old students still had some influence. Some students who did not have enough pocket money chose the old maps with lower prices.

The same is true for the girls' dormitory that Ada is in charge of. This is something that has long been expected. Ada herself is also using second-hand books, isn't she?She can't monopolize directly by force. Doing so is too overbearing, and it will lose people's hearts and make her business more difficult.

After a while, Ron and Harry came over, each with a map in their hands, but Ron seemed a little unhappy, he didn't even look at the twins.

Ron complained to Ada angrily: "Ada, Fred and George sold me the map last night, the original price is fine, I just want to ask if there is an internal price, the two of them directly set the price on the ground, a map You actually want me a Galleon!"

The twins are really good at raising prices for their younger brothers. The speed at which they cheated their younger brother far exceeded Ron's speed of climbing the pit.When Ron finally got out of the pit of the twins, there was another pit waiting for him.

"But didn't you pay the original price in the end?" Fred said, "Public is public, private is private, we just distinguish between public and private."

"We can give you pocket money, and we can also buy you gifts. But a business is a business, and you can't open it. Once you open it, everyone will come to us to discuss the relationship." George explained to his brother in a good-tempered manner.

That is to say, Ron is just starting school now. If he was a few years older, George wouldn't bother to talk nonsense with him and figure it out by himself.

Ron thought about it, and felt that what the twins said made sense, but he was still a little unhappy.Yesterday, in front of his new roommate, his brother kept him from stepping down, and he was still a little angry about it.

"Want to know how to shock your roommate?" Ada asked, putting down the vegetable soup in her hand. "Want to impress them extremely?"

Ron nodded frantically, he wanted to do this too much, and he also wanted to improve his sense of presence.Not only him, but even the twins and Harry were very curious about Ada's method.

"When I go back tonight, prepare a longer and stronger rope." Ada raised the soup bowl again, not to mention that the taste of the vegetable soup was not bad.

"And then?" Fred urged, grabbing Ada's soup bowl.

"Then in the middle of the night, hanged at the door of the dormitory. Tomorrow your roommates will go to bed together. It will definitely shock them for a whole year!"

Professor McGonagall, who was distributing the timetable, just heard Ada's high-spirited talk, and she said calmly, "Ada, if you hang yourself at the door of the dormitory tonight, you won't come to see me on Wednesday."

Ada sniffed and didn't smell the Polyjuice Potion on Professor McGonagall, so why is the way she speaks so familiar, making people think of the old bat in the basement classroom?
"Also, if you let me know that you went to the right corridor on the fourth floor of the castle, you are ready to hang yourself at the door of the Gryffindor lounge!" Professor McGonagall showed her kind smile.

Ada took the timetable with both hands, and quickly told Professor McGonagall that she would definitely not go, that she would abide by the rules and laws this school year, and would never hinder the competition for the Academy Cup, so Professor McGonagall let her go.

Glancing at the schedule, Ada forgot Professor McGonagall's warning. She has too many courses this year!
Monday is Charms and Defense Against the Dark Arts, with Divination in the second half of the afternoon; Tuesday is Herbology, Protection of Magical Creatures and History of Magic; Wednesday is Transfiguration, Charms; Thursday is Defense Against the Dark Arts and Ancient runes; Friday is Transfiguration and Potions.

This year's Friday is black again, and the two most severe professors both have classes on that day.

Charms in the morning is still the same, Professor Flitwick is a veteran professor, completely trustworthy.Professor Flitwick took everyone to review the content of the previous school year before starting the new course.

There was a stark contrast between the stable Professor Flitwick and Quirrell who was doing Defense Against the Dark Arts in the afternoon. His teaching level blasted Quirrell to nothing.

Quirrell is really sorry for Ravenclaw, so he can graduate from Hogwarts, and Ada has serious doubts about the quality of education in the school.The Defense Against the Dark Arts class was stuttering, not only because the professor was stuttering, but also because he couldn't even cast spells well.

And once there is any "turmoil" in the classroom, Quirrell will definitely be shocked. His weak and unable to take care of himself is really sweating, for fear that he will be scared to death by his own fart one day.

The third-year Gryffindor opened the market under the leadership of the twins, and guessed when Quirrell would be expelled by Dumbledore.That's right, not guessing when to be defeated by the curse of the position, but guessing Dumbledore's patience.

The first option is one month, and the most people bet on it, which shows how much everyone dislikes Quirrell.

Ada suddenly had doubts about her previous thoughts. Can Quirrell really make trouble at this level?I'm afraid he can't even pass the first grade. Although he is a young and middle-aged man, Ada always feels that Quirrell is like an old man in his dying years.

It might be a bit insulting to old people to say that, because every professor at school who was older than Chilow looked tougher than him.

It would make sense if all of this was Quirrell's putting on a show, and he was doing it to lull Dumbledore into making the headmaster think he was harmless.It's his acting skills that have improved by leaps and bounds. Did he enroll in some acting improvement class in the last month of summer vacation?
The defense against the dark arts that made the students fearful is finally over. Ida misses Glover Cecil very much now. Although he is a fool, he teaches real skills. He is several Benedicts better than Quirrell, who is just pretending. ·Welfare.

After class, Ada and the twins were still not allowed to be free, and they had to rush to the North Tower immediately.The divination class will be taught on the top of the tower, which makes the students who choose this course hate divination before the class, and climbing the stairs is really tiring.

Climbing up the long spiral staircase section by section, there was a picture of a knight croaking beside her ears. When Ada climbed to the top floor platform, her least favorite professor had been replaced by a special professor whom she had never met. Lilawney.

The classroom of the divination class didn't look like a classroom at all, but more like an old-fashioned teahouse, with twenty small round tables inside, and a row of I Jin Anzi on the wall, and the crystal ball on it seemed like a shining light ball.

The Hogwarts rotating drink bar in the air is located on the top floor of the North Tower, overlooking the school scenery. The boss Trelawney provides divination services for customers for free. Action is worse than action. Book a seat with an owl!
"What's the smell in this room?" Fred asked. "It smells weird."

Ada took a sniff, and then said, "Sherry, and some other wines, I don't know the rest."

Other students in the class are also whispering, discussing the somewhat "outrageous" classroom, and Trelawney, who has not been seen so far.At this moment, a soft, indistinct voice sounded from the shadows.

"Welcome," said the voice, "it is great to finally meet you in the physical world."

Professor Trelawney, who was wearing a glass ball, walked into the firelight. There were countless beads and chains around her neck, and many tables and rings on her arms and hands. She looked more like a god. stick.

The students settled into armchairs or futons, and Ida and the twins sat around the same table, of course.The three people saw deep regret in each other's expressions, and they thought Trelawney was as unreliable as Quirrell.

Trelawney talked a lot about her Celestial Eye and her extraordinary insight in the front, boasting herself and at the same time dispelling the enthusiasm of a group of classmates for divination.

Just like the name of the textbook "Picking the Fog to See the Future", many people choose this course to learn divination, and want to find clues to the future through this course, instead of listening to a glowing insect showing off itself.

Trelawney started talking about her plans for this school year, predicting a few small things, and then the highlight of the course came, and she had a terrible result: "In May, among us One will leave us forever."

Before taking this course, the trustworthy students went to inquire about this course, and the feedback they got was very consistent-Trelawney came to eat and drink.At the same time, I also learned about Trelawney's habit, she would predict the death of a student at the beginning of each year.

Finally hearing the chapter on death, some drowsy students were immediately relieved and wondered who would be the lucky one, the one who was predicted to die.

This is really more and more like a magic stick, and the technique is exactly the same as that of the gentlemen on the square.

As the old saying goes: SP looks at photos, unlucky to go to a divination booth.When you get there, first use a catastrophe or pass to take pictures of people there, first to frighten people, and then the money in your pocket will go to his pockets. Say thank you sir!

Of course, there will always be high-level people in this world, but how can it be so easy to meet such high-level people who can't see the end of the dragon?Just like the ancestor of the professor in front of you, you wouldn't see Cassandra Trelawney squatting on the side of the road in Diagon Alley, using a crystal ball for divination.

The teaching staff at Hogwarts is uneven, which really makes people worry about the future of the school! "The future Hogwarts Headmaster" is now in a heavier mood than going to the grave. She has already begun to think about how to reorganize the teaching staff after taking over the school.
