The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 68 Daily Life 2
In the evening, Ada was busy writing the history of magic homework on the desk. The professors at Hogwarts always assigned a lot of tasks to the students, especially during the holidays.

Whether it's the short Halloween break, or the slightly longer Christmas and Easter breaks, students will receive a lot of homework, let alone a two-month summer break.

Before Ada came to the Burrow, the twins were pulling their hair and doing their homework.When Ada came here, they were like two chicks waiting to be fed, eagerly looking forward to Ada. They could finally be freed from their heavy schoolwork and no longer had to waste their lives.

It's just that Ada has to go out to work during the day, so her homework is not as much as that of the twins. Fred and George dare not disturb Ada at night, for fear that they have nothing to learn from, and they will have to pluck their hair again.

While Ada was doing her homework, Ginny was sitting at the table. She was reading Ada's first grade textbooks. Instead of finding these things boring, Ginny read them with gusto.

All the textbooks were bought in a second-hand store when Ada started school.Some are old but there are no missing pages or blurred places, and Ada uses the books carefully, so the textbooks are well preserved.

Ada has a habit of taking notes in books. What the professors talk about in class, or what she thinks of herself, will be written down in the book.This habit makes Ada's books richer, which is the accumulation of "scholars". These notes can also help Ginny better understand the knowledge in the textbooks.

"What did you do at home during the day?" Ada asked casually while recalling the goblin war.

Ginny, who was turning the pages of the book, replied: "My brothers were playing Quidditch in the morning. They didn't take me to play, so I could only watch from the sidelines."

Her tone of voice was a little lost. The Weasley boys never took her to play Quidditch. She also liked this sport very much. There was also a Holyhead Harpies Quidditch hanging on the wall in the room. odd poster.

"It doesn't matter if you don't take me. I can play secretly by myself. I have been riding their broomstick since I was six years old." Ginny whispered, "And none of them found out."

Ada looked at Ginny in surprise. Stealing the broomstick showed Ginny's determination, and not being found showed her mobility.Is this girl trying to secretly work hard and amaze everyone?
"Then practice hard, and when the academy team is selected, you will be able to slap your stinky brothers in the face." Ada said with a smile, "See if they dare not play with you in the future!"

"Hmm! I think so too!" Ginny nodded emphatically. She had planned to do so since the first day her brothers didn't take her to play Quidditch.

There are seven children in the Weasley family, and the Quidditch team needs exactly seven players to play. The Weasleys have given birth to a Quidditch team!
If both Ron and Ginny were able to get into Gryffindor and join the team, wouldn't every position on the Gryffindor Quidditch team be filled by a Weasley child?
"After school starts, Fred and George will participate in the Quidditch selection, Ginny, you have to work hard!"

"Well, I will definitely join the team in the future. My dream is to be a professional Quidditch player." Ginny once again expressed her determination.

Ada continued to do her homework, while Ginny continued to read, and asked Ada if there was something she didn't understand. The two of them just talked one after another in the small room, and they didn't fall asleep until late at night. .

In the days of the Burrow, Ada was very happy. She set out to Diagon Alley during the day and returned to the Burrow from there after work.I do my homework at home at night, chat with the twins, and play with Ginny for a while before going to bed. Every day is full of schedules.

Day after day, the entire month of July passed in a flash, and Ada also received her salary. The two jobs added up to a total of [-] Galleons.The salary at Lihen Bookstore is the same as that offered by the Leaky Cauldron, but Ada spends more time in the bookstore than at the bar.

Lihen Bookstore recruited a few new assistants at the end of July, and there was no shortage of manpower. In addition, Ada really didn't want to fight wits with owls every day, so she simply quit her job in the bookstore.

It's the first week of August and everyone is sitting in the kitchen.Ada only has one job in the bar now, she just needs to be at the bar at ten o'clock, she doesn't have to get up so early now, and can have breakfast with everyone.

The letter from Hogwarts was also delivered by the owl at this time. The envelope was yellow parchment with green writing on it.The school seems to like green very much. Whether it is an admission letter or a notification letter, the words are all written in green ink.

The school started on September [-]st, and they still took the Hogwarts Express from King's Cross Station to school.The letter also lists the list of new books to be used this year and the items that need to be prepared.

Ron and Ginny who didn't receive the letter could only look at their brothers and sisters helplessly, envious.Ada naturally noticed the expression on Ginny's face, so she purposely put her letter very low so that Ginny could see it too.

As for Ron, there was nothing he could do to help, and George was not as considerate as Ada.

"Ada, do you know who this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is?" Fred asked Ada who was opposite.Working at the Leaky Cauldron, the news is always better, and Ida usually shares some interesting stories in the bar with everyone.

"I don't know, I met Hagrid in the bar, but he didn't know who Dumbledore invited." Ada said, "Hagrid only heard a little rumor that the new professor should be Dumbledore. Some old friend of Lido's."

"Dumbledore's friend, wouldn't it be very old?" George leaned back and said listlessly, "Older people are usually very rigid and boring in class."

"You can't say that. Professor Flitwick and Professor McGonagall are not young anymore, but their classes are still quite interesting." Charlie denied Fred's point of view.

"I have never thought that any course is boring. Since the course is offered, it must be meaningful. Professors can work at Hogwarts, and they must have their own unique insights on this subject..." Percy lectured to his twin brother with a serious face.

The twins curled their lips indifferently, and didn't listen to what Percy said at all. Ron and Ginny didn't pay attention to what their third brother said. In this family, Percy was the weakest speaker.

"If it's really an old professor, I'm worried about whether he can survive this year." Ada gave her letter to Ginny and asked her to play with it.

Ada's words made everyone sweat about this new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor who had never met before. The tragedies of the last school year are still vivid in their minds, and this is about to usher in a new victim. This is really not What everyone wants to see.

The position of professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts is like the champion of Hogwarts, welcoming challengers one after another.Regardless of whether these challengers were young or old, the challenger would beat them down with a stick regardless, and then shake off the dust on his body, waiting for the next contestant.

"Fortunately, we don't have a lot of things to buy this year." Charlie changed the subject and stopped talking so heavily in the morning.He had just read Percy's and Fred's letters separately, and there was nothing to buy but books.

The height of the twins has not changed much from last year, and the old robes of last year can still be persisted.Neither does Charlie, he hasn't grown any this year.This year, it was enough to buy a new robe for Percy, who had grown a little too much, which greatly relieved the pressure on the Weasleys.

Ada also needs to buy a new school gown. She has grown a lot this year, and the length reserved when buying the gown last year is no longer enough. By the way, she can also pick out some nice clothes.

In fact, Ada wanted to buy the twins’ things together. She still had a lot of Galleons left over from last year’s exchange, and her summer salary was also quite a lot. Plus, she still had the gold coins in the small leather bag. Short of money.

It's just that the twins directly rejected her proposal. If Mrs. Weasley didn't allow it, they would have wanted to work with Ada.They can't ask for Ada's money, that's not what friends do, and as for the broomsticks, that's a joke no one takes seriously.

The twins are short of money, but they have their own persistence and bottom line, and they have never plotted against Ada as friends.
