The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 17 The Terrible Confinement
On the second day after the incident, Ada appeared to be particularly diligent. She actively raised her hand to answer questions in class, thinking about earning as much of the deducted points as possible.However, since Snape's "Miss Know It All", the professors' questions to Ida have decreased a lot.

Ada was always good at answering the questions the professors asked, giving Gryffindor points in this way.So during the period since the start of school, Gryffindor has been leading the race for the House Cup, um...until yesterday...

Asking Ada is equivalent to adding points to Gryffindor, which can be regarded as an act of supporting the enemy.Of course, the professors would not be so petty, this is just Ada's slander.

Instead, every professor liked Ida, except Snape.Especially Professor Flitwick, he really likes Ida.After each charm class, Ada would always come to him with some questions, and Professor Flitwick would do his best to answer them every time.

The diminutive Ravenclaw head had complained more than once about the Sorting Hat.He felt that the Sorting Hat's act of sorting Ada into Gryffindor was shady!He believes that the bright and studious Ada should belong to the symbol of wisdom and belong to Ravenclaw.

What happened this time just told Professor Flitwick that it was the right thing to assign Ida to Gryffindor, and there was no such thing as a shady thing!It also saves Professor Flitwick from always jumping on the ground to slap the table to complain, and Ada feels tired for him watching it.

The generous Professor Flitwick awarded Ida two points for a wonderful Levitation Charm.One of the points is a classroom reward, and the remaining one is from Professor Flitwick's personal favor.

In Defense Against the Dark Arts, Ada earned points for answering questions about the red hat, and the Slytherin-born Professor Benedict Foley rewarded her with a point.Ida swore to herself that she would never say that Professor Benedict Foley laughed like a landowner's silly son.

Ada, who jumped up and down for a day, scored a total of three points, pitiful, obviously unable to make ends meet.

Let us set the clocks to six fifty in the evening, for the first confinement of Miss Esmeralda Drizzt's life is about to begin.

Ada thought that this confinement would be the first and the last in her student life.It's just that she was far from expecting that in the next six years or so at Hogwarts, confinement would become a common occurrence for her.

May Merlin bless this poor Miss Drizzt!
Professor McGonagall's office is located by the corridor on the second floor of the castle. Ada paced back and forth in the corridor at the door of the office. She had been in this state for 15 minutes.Nervous and uneasy are two words that are very suitable to describe Ada's mood at this moment.

At two minutes to seven, the weak, pitiful, and helpless Ada finally stopped her uneasy steps.No matter what difficulties you encounter, don't be afraid, just face it with a smile.The best way to get rid of your fear is to face it!Extending the head is a knife, shrinking the head is also a knife, it's done!
Gathering up her courage, Ada stood in front of the office door, stretched out her hand and knocked on the door, boom!Boom!Boom!
"Come in!" Professor McGonagall's voice came through the door.

Pushing open the door, Ada walked in cautiously, and said to Professor McGonagall, "Professor, I'm here for confinement." She lowered her head, maintained an attitude of admitting her mistake, and strived for leniency.

"Sit here and wait for me." Professor McGonagall pointed to a stool and motioned for Ada to sit there. Then Professor McGonagall walked to a hidden door in the office, opened it and walked in.

After Professor McGonagall left, Ada sat on a stool and waited while observing the office.The office is small, which allows the flame in the fireplace to warm the room better. The books on the bookshelves are arranged in alphabetical order, and other items are also placed neatly. It's very Mag!
After a while, Professor McGonagall came back, holding some parchment in her hand.She put the parchments in front of Ada, and said, "After reading these things, when will you finish reading them, and when will you leave."

After speaking, Professor McGonagall returned to her desk, and she continued to correct the students' homework.

Ada, who was confused, scratched the back of her head, a little confused.She had learned something about confinement from the Weasley brothers, and it could be said that it was a terrible thing.What the two very experienced brothers said had a nose and eyes, and Ada simply believed it.But the situation in front of me seems to be different from what they said!

Ada looked at the pile of parchment. The paper was not a horror story or something to scare children, but an article related to Transfiguration.This is no confinement, it is obviously Professor McGonagall who is giving her a little trouble!
Could it be that I was right to beat Slytherin, but Professor McGonagall can't directly praise him, so he can only encourage him in another form?Ada thought about it in her heart.

Holding the parchment, Ada began to focus on the words on the paper.The theory of transfiguration involved in these parchment papers is not some unfathomable knowledge, it is only a little more difficult than Ada's textbooks, and more of an extension of the first-grade textbooks.

Ada concentrated on reading the parchment, and these theories could just answer some of her recent puzzles.It seems that this was carefully prepared by Professor McGonagall, and it was not just thrown out to Ada to pass the time.

It is not difficult for her to read these things, and there will be easy-to-understand annotations for some places that she does not understand or have not touched for the time being, and these annotations are obviously written by Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall has already marked all the assignments in front of her, which she always does personally, and she feels that this will help her better understand the progress of each student.But unfortunately, some of these assignments are copied from others, which is also impossible.

Professor McGonagall got himself a glass of water, then poured another glass and put it in front of Ada.She stood behind Ada, watching Ada read and think seriously, Professor McGonagall was very relieved.

For this punishment, it can actually be regarded as a kind of protection for Ada by Professor McGonagall.

Avery, who was beaten because of his oral sex, is still lying in the school doctor's room at this time. If the person who did it has not received any punishment, then it is a good news for Cody Avery or his parents. excuses for trouble.

Ada, who is alone, is obviously going to suffer a lot when facing an ancient magic family. This is not the result that Professor McGonagall wants to see.

When the incident happened, Professor McGonagall was a little concerned and confused, so she didn't think of it for a while, but Snape reminded her.That's why Professor McGonagall added confinement to Ada as a punishment. Since she didn't really want to punish her, naturally she wouldn't really let Ada be confinement or complete labor services.

It's just that Snape was deliberately reminding Professor McGonagall to pay attention to this point, or if he was really dissatisfied with the punishment, it is unknown.

Time passed bit by bit, and Ada finally finished reading all the parchment on hand. I have to say that Xiaozao is really delicious!
"Professor, I've finished reading." Ada handed back the sorted parchment to Professor McGonagall.In fact, she read these contents twice. Although her reading speed is far behind Quantum Fluctuation Speed ​​Reading, it is still very fast with the blessing of the system.

"Well, do you understand?" Professor McGonagall took the parchments and put them in a drawer.

"Understandable, Professor." Ada lowered her head and dared not look at Professor McGonagall.Since the orphanage, Professor McGonagall has been taking good care of Ida, and she is a little afraid to see the disappointed look on Professor McGonagall's face.

Afterwards, Professor McGonagall asked a few questions, and the sources of the questions were also the first-grade textbooks and the content just now.Ada answered fluently, and also gave some of her own views on these issues.Professor McGonagall affirmed some of Ada's ideas, but also denied some wild and unrealistic fantasies.

One old and one young, the two chatted for a long time, and the content of the discussion was all about transfiguration. I have to say that Professor McGonagall is really good at transfiguration. He deserves to be able to discuss transfiguration with Dumbledore in his teens A theoretical genius.Professor McGonagall can always answer Ada's confusion from different angles, and at the same time quote some relevant knowledge to help Ada deepen her understanding.

This private lesson taught by Professor McGonagall has really benefited Ida a lot. Thinking about it, this is only the first day, and there are still [-] days of confinement waiting for her!

This kind of nanny-style, tailor-made private teaching class for half a month is not enough at all!Avery where are you?Come out and let me beat you again, I want to increase the sentence!Ada prayed silently in her heart.

"Comparatively speaking, Transfiguration is more sophisticated and complicated, and you must follow its rules when casting Transfiguration..." After Professor McGonagall answered another question from Ada, he looked up at the clock and found that it was already nine o'clock If there are too many, today's make-up class is over... No, it's confinement.

"Let's stop here today, it's already late, go back and have a good rest," Professor McGonagall said.

"Okay, Professor, thank you very much!" Ada said, "I'm sorry about today's incident, and I will find a way to get back the deducted points."

Ada felt that it would be better for her to apologize to Professor McGonagall, of course only for the deduction of points.There's nothing wrong with hitting Avery, it's just that he shouldn't have been caught.

"I know you are so impulsive because the Weasley brothers were insulted." Professor McGonagall waved his hand, signaling Ada not to take it too seriously, "You value your friends, which is good, but you choose way is wrong."

"I'll pay attention next time, Professor."

After hearing this, Professor McGonagall gave Ada a hard look, and Ada's desire to survive came online at this time, and she quickly waved her hands, "There will be no next time, Professor."

"I hope you can communicate with more classmates, not limited to the Weasley brothers and your two roommates." Professor McGonagall said, "They have helped you today, I think this is a very good one." Start."

"Starting tomorrow, I will communicate with my classmates as much as possible." Ada said, since I said it, Ada will do it, just like completing a task.She can help her classmates, but she will never make a scene like today regardless of the consequences.

Human hearts are limited, and it is impossible to accommodate everyone.Fred and George were kind to her, and she would try her best to reciprocate.

"Go, go back to rest early, and don't wander around in the castle. I don't want to take you back from Filch in the middle of the night."

　I received a short message from the website today, can Tangyuan call itself Xiaopujie in the future?
