The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 227 There is a big problem with Hogwarts education

In September 1992, in an empty classroom in Hogwarts Castle, the learning organization held its first internal meeting.Participants actively participated in the discussion and successfully decided on the name of the organization and internal responsibilities.

Through the original way of voting by show of hands, the meeting decided to use "Dawn" as the name of the organization, which means "the night (Lockhart) will eventually pass, and the dawn will come".Meanwhile, Ida was the leader of the organization in a landslide 6-1.

On the second day after the meeting, Ada approached Professor McGonagall with the application form, and formally applied to her dean to establish a learning organization.

Professor McGonagall was very happy about the establishment of this study group. She thought that Ada wanted to be a role model for the students, so she established this study group.But when Professor McGonagall saw the list of members, her smile disappeared in an instant, because these names were too familiar.

Needless to say, Fred and George are master pranksters and vanguards of deducting points. These twin brothers make Professor McGonagall love and hate.Li Jordan, another master prankster in Gryffindor, is a Quidditch-biased commentator. Every time he explains the game, Professor McGonagall wants to slap him to death.

If it wasn't for the names of Angelina and the others, Professor McGonagall would have thought that Ada was planning to set up a prank gang to trick the teachers and students of the school, rather than a group for the purpose of learning.

Professor McGonagall also knew the reason why Ada and the others formed study groups. Recently, Hogwarts reading and study groups have sprung up like mushrooms, most of which are mainly senior students.

These senior students are all facing the Wizarding Level Examination. Lockhart is not strong enough to help these senior students. They can only hug together to keep warm and cope with the upcoming Wizarding Level Examination on their own.

Lockhart got the dissatisfaction of all the teachers and students in the school in the shortest time. Even Snape couldn't match the speed of this achievement.

Professor McGonagall also tactfully conveyed the aspirations of the masses to Dumbledore, but the aloof Dumbledore was still indifferent, letting go of Lockhart's behavior and completely ignoring the suffering of the people.

The application for setting up a study group was quickly approved, and Ada and the others got a classroom as an activity place.This classroom is located on the third floor of the castle. Although it has been vacant for a long time, the classroom is not full of dust, and for "Dawn" who only has eight students, this classroom seems a bit too big.

At the beginning of October, the whole school became damp, and this damp penetrated into the castle.A sudden flu epidemic among the staff and students set the school doctor, Madam Pomfrey, in a hurry.

It was under such circumstances that Lixiao started the first group activity.That night, eight Gryffindor students appeared on the third floor of the castle one after another.

A warm flame was burning in this classroom, dispelling the dampness and coldness in the air. The desks were placed in the corners of the classroom, and the empty space in the middle was covered with soft cushions.

The eight people in the classroom began to do some simple exercises in pairs. These exercises also let Ada understand everyone's level. Ada once again had doubts about the education level of Hogwarts.Angelina and the others are already in the fourth grade, but they can't even use the spells in the "Standard Spells Level [-]" well.

Fred and George were the only ones who made Ada feel relieved. The two brothers had not practiced with her for so long, and they were the best performers among the seven.

Various voices of incantations were heard in the classroom, but the accuracy of these incantations was really not very good.Katie, who was practicing with Lini, her spell even flew to Ada's side, and the soft cushions on the floor flew everywhere.Ada had to wave her wand again and again to keep the classroom from becoming a mess.

There is no way, Ada can only give up the original idea, and start teaching from the most basic things. This time, the event also changed from the initial hope that everyone would master the Disarming Curse and the Iron Armor Curse, to teaching everyone how to hit the target.

Ada used magic to control the soft cushion to fly around, and then asked everyone to take turns trying to hit it.After everyone was able to hit it, Ada increased the flying speed of the mat to make it more difficult to hit.

But Ada didn't let everyone do boring target practice all the time. Repeating such boring exercises can easily dispel everyone's enthusiasm. Not everyone is Ida, and not everyone can endure this hardship.

There was a look of relief on everyone's faces when Ada called the practice to a halt and told everyone to rest.Everyone should solve personal problems, go to solve personal problems, drink water when they should, and chat when they should chat.

"Today's practice is too boring," Li Qiaodan complained, "Should we continue to practice this later?"

"Stop complaining, Lee, do you know how Ida practiced hitting the target?" George squeezed Lee Jordan's shoulder.

Before Li Jordan could speak, Fred said: "The stones used, and they are small stones that fly very fast, which are much harder than hitting a soft cushion."

"Li, I will practice the Disarming Curse and the Iron Armor Curse with you later," Ada said, "These are two very practical spells. Someone once won the duel championship with the Disarming Curse."

"Then when can we learn the Patronus Charm?" Alia asked curiously, "The one you did on the Hogwarts Express was really wonderful!"

"The Patronus Charm is a very difficult spell, and it's not suitable for everyone to learn about it now." Ada said truthfully, "If everyone progresses fast enough, I think we will practice the Patronus Charm soon."

After resting for a while, everyone's spirits improved a lot. Coupled with the temptation of the Patronus Charm and the new practice content, everyone practiced more actively.

Ada explained the key points of the Disarming Curse and the Iron Armor Curse, and demonstrated it with Fred, and let everyone start to practice curses.The twins paired with Lee Jordan, Angelina with Aaliyah, Katie with Lini, and Ada corrected everyone's mistakes in practice.

The voices of "Disarm You" and "Iron Armor Protection" sounded in the classroom immediately.After the hit practice just now, everyone's accuracy has improved, the wands flew around, hit the ceiling, and sparks flew everywhere.There was chaos in the classroom, and the spell bounced off by the Iron Armor Curse almost hit Ada who was shopping by the side.

About an hour later, Ada terminated everyone's practice.It was getting late, and if they didn't go back to the lounge, they would be violating the curfew.
