The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 188 A Chance to Win the Academy Cup
The gamekeeper at Hogwarts had a fire dragon of unknown origin. At this point in time, it should have been something worthy of attention, but Harry, Ron, and Hermione thought that this would only bring trouble. Fire Dragon sent away to protect their friend Hagrid.

The origin of this fire dragon and the deep meaning hidden behind it did not attract the attention of the young trio.Ada's reminder may make them pay more attention to this matter, and it may fall on deaf ears, but these are not important to Ada, and she does not intend to continue to participate.

Who was the one who lost to Hagrid's dragon egg, why did he get close to Hagrid, and when Quirrell would act, all these had nothing to do with Ada.Protecting the Sorcerer's Stone was a test arranged by Dumbledore for Harry, not a game for Ada, she couldn't play it however she wanted.

After leaving the school infirmary, Ada went to the ancient runes classroom. She just stepped into the classroom when the class bell rang. If she stayed in the school infirmary for a while, she would be late.

Professor Babling continued to talk about the content of the previous class, and continued to translate an ancient manuscript.This manuscript records an ancient wizard's discussion on the origin of magic, and the runes used are relatively simple, which is very suitable for beginners of ancient runes.

Ancient runes originated from northern Europe and the Germanic peoples, and were once prevalent in Scandinavia and the British Isles.In addition to being used to write magical manuscripts, the runic alphabet itself has mystical powers.

The magic world generally believes that the origin of modern magic also comes from Northern Europe. If you want to unlock the secret of the origin of magic, then the ancient runes cannot be avoided anyway.Ada is very interested in the origin of magic, and hopes that she can explore the ancient power through these mysterious characters, so as to improve her magic attainments.

Professor Babling has already explained all the translated manuscripts to everyone. While everyone was sorting out their notes, Professor Babling talked about the Nordic mythology related to ancient runes.Frey, the god of abundance, prosperity, love, and peace, Hagar, the god of hindrance, and Tire, the god of war, are called "Et" in ancient runes, and each Et is a rune A grouping of alphabets.

Professor Babling on the podium was still talking nonstop, but she strayed off again, from ancient runes to Norse mythology, and from Norse mythology to the Ministry of Magic with a vegetarian diet. If no one reminded her, This topic will change to another topic after five to 10 minutes.

You can never know the pulse of Professor Bathsheda Babling, so you have no way of guessing what her next topic will be when she is out of her mind. Maybe it's a new product just released by the out-of-the-ordinary clothing store, or maybe it's a rune scholar. The status quo may return to the courses she teaches.

However, the students in the classroom have no complaints about Professor Babuling's daily crooked buildings. Her complaints sound very interesting, and often sound more like jokes, and it also makes these children who have not grown up understand adults better. world.

Ada and Cedric next to each other compared their notes, and after confirming that they were correct, they concentrated on listening to Professor Babling's complaints.Ada doesn't need to understand the world of adults, but she needs to understand the world of adult wizards. If nothing happens, she should consider her own employment four years later.

"Why does she have so much to say in every class?" Cedric asked suspiciously, and then gave himself an answer, "It must be because I don't see anyone and can't say anything."

Cedric took a quill to correct the mistakes and omissions in the notes, and continued: "You don't talk much usually, so you won't be the same as her by then?"

"You talk like that, how can those Yingyingyanyans around you bear you?" Ada asked, and now Cedric has gone farther than Fred and George on the road of being lonely. .He is good-looking, good at studying, and his father is an official of the Ministry of Magic. He is good at everything, but he has a broken mouth.

"I don't treat you as an outsider... Be straightforward, ask whatever you want." Cedric said, "Don't change the subject, answer my question quickly!"

"This is in class, is it me or the professor?" Ada asked back, "And I talk a lot, but no matter how many people talk, you can't stop you from always talking to death."

Is Cedric really a conversation buster?Of course not, besides his handsome face, his personality and talkativeness are the reasons for his popularity.It's just that in front of Ada, Cedric doesn't want to rack his brains to talk and laugh. The two of them have a sincere chat and discuss their studies. Why are they so tired?
Before the get out of class ended, Professor Babling changed the topic again, but it was too late, and the result was that the content of this class was not finished, and it had to be postponed to the next class.

Sure enough, a person with nothing wrong can't be a professor at Hogwarts. If you go out without something wrong, you won't be ashamed to say hello to other professors.

After class, Ada and Cedric went to the auditorium together. When they passed the hourglass for scoring, Cedric said, "Congratulations, Ada."

"Congratulations for what?" Ada was a little confused about the situation, what the hell was this sudden congratulations.

"The scores of your house!" Cedric explained to Ida, "I didn't even notice that you have overtaken Slytherin by so many points. You are expected to win the house cup this year!"

This year's Gryffindor is worthy of the name, with nearly forty points more rubies in the hourglass than No.2 Slytherin.This school year is over a month away. As long as there are no accidents, Gryffindor is very likely to win the championship according to this growth momentum, and Gryffindor still has a Quidditch game to play!

"The world is unpredictable, don't forget, Slytherin and Professor Snape are here." Ada said modestly, she did not accept Cedric's poisoned milk, and it was such an early poisoned milk.

"As long as you and Fred and George restrain themselves, this [-]-point advantage is enough for a long time," Cedric said.

Professors usually deduct one point, five points, and ten points is considered a big deal.Except for Snape, who deducted points like drinking water, the other professors deducted points for students to correct their mistakes.And when the expiration date is about to end, the professors will be more cautious when deducting points. As long as they don't make a big mess, the forty-point advantage is indeed enough.

Looking at the red gems in the funnel, Ada also felt that this year was indeed an opportunity for Gryffindor.In the days to come, as long as the cubs were more cautious in their study and life, and didn't give Snape an opportunity, the forty-point lead could be maintained.In addition to gaining some points from other professors to expand their lead, the Academy Cup will naturally be won.

As long as the above two points are achieved, no matter how eccentric Snape is, he and his Slytherins will have no chance to turn defeat into victory, and the decoration of the auditorium can finally be changed.

Ada thought so, and so did the other Gryffindors. At the long table in Gryffindor, the lion cubs were discussing fiercely how to consolidate the advantage of the academy.Among the people discussing, there were two people who kept frowning, their hearts full of worry.

These two people were Harry and Hermione (Ron was still in the school infirmary), and Hagrid and his dragon had been pressing on their hearts, and they would not feel at ease until Norbert was sent away.And this matter has been known by Malfoy in Slytherin, and Malfoy also knows that they will send Norbert away on Saturday.

Thinking of this, the two of them couldn't help sighing, for fear that if they were not careful, they would disappoint everyone's hard work for a school year.
