The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 75 Ada Continues Navigating You
For the Gryffindor second-year students, Wednesday was a day full of contradictions. Their courses today were History of Magic and Potions, two courses that were very different in terms of teaching and content.

If the history of magic class in the morning can make everyone sleep well and be full of happiness, then the potions class in the afternoon can make students fall into boundless hell.

In the History of Magic classroom, Professor Binns hadn't come yet, so naturally he didn't show his amazing wall-penetrating skills, but even if he entered the classroom through the wall later, few people should see it, because everyone was almost asleep up.

Before Ada even took out "History of Magic" from her schoolbag, Fred and George could not wait to lie down on the table, and even adjusted their sleeping positions. This book was written by Bathilda Bagshot The textbooks were used as pillows by the two brothers.

There was no anger in the classroom at all, almost everyone was ready for a good night's sleep, Lee Jordan was the worst one, he brought a pillow to the classroom, and everyone in the classroom counted him The most comfortable lying down.

When the class bell rang, none of the students left the table and straightened their backs.Professor Cuthbert Binns entered the classroom through the blackboard without causing the same exclamation as a year ago.

Professor Binns, with a ghostly pearly white, floated behind the podium, and began his lecture today.

Accompanied by dry, low and monotonous voices, one student after another fell into a deep sleep. If someone snores or grinds their teeth, it may directly revive Professor Binns.

According to Nick, who is almost headless, wizards can leave their own marks on this world, so that they can walk feebly where they have lived and walked, and become ghosts that are not wanted by the underworld and will not be accepted by the world.

This is a choice on the road of death, and few wizards choose to take such a road.

If Ada were to choose, she would rather choose to face death bravely than to "live" in such a vain way, without blood and feelings, and just "live" all the time.

Ada cast a Silencer Charm on herself, so that she could isolate most of the sounds around her, acting like Muggle earplugs.She did this only to block Professor Binns' hypnosis. This kind of "magic" of Professor Binns was so extreme that Ida couldn't resist it at all.

Standing "History of Magic" in front of her, Ada hid behind the textbook and wrote a treatise on Charms.Last school year, most of Ada's homework was written in History of Magic class, which worked out very well, so Ida continued to do so this year, and used the time in this class effectively.

Ada concentrated on writing the thesis. Not only did she complete the nine-inch-long Charmology thesis, she even finished the homework assigned by Professor McGonagall.

Blinded by her homework, she didn't even know that the bell rang for the end of get out of class. If the twins hadn't snatched her quill, she might have sat there writing "On the Harm of Incomplete Transfiguration" for a long time .

The twins called Ada several times during get out of class, but Ada didn't hear it at all, and naturally didn't respond at all, so Fred went to grab Ada's pen.

They also learned about the benefits of the Silencer Charm from Ada, and clamored to learn it.If Mrs. Weasley scolded them again in the future, the twins could use this spell to block out part of their voices, so they wouldn't be scolded miserably.

There are many ways to educate children, and Mrs. Weasley can actually choose a milder method, but Ida thinks that Mrs. Weasley chose to scold the two of them for the sole purpose of venting anger.

At lunch, Katie Bell, a first-year student, joined in. It was always good to play with the big sister, even though the big sister was only a year or two older than her.

Ada had given Katie Bell a Hogwarts map the night she moved in, and it was in short supply.This map covers most of the castle, and the classrooms needed for class will be highlighted, which is very convenient.

In August, Ada started making these maps, and the twins took them on the second day of school and started selling them to first-year students, or people who often lost their way.

Ada was in charge of production, the twins were in charge of distribution, and the maps were sold out in three or four days.Ada's original intention was to earn two pocket money, but she didn't expect the twins to have such a wide network, they even sold the map to Slytherin,
Almost every first-year Hogwarts freshman has a navigation map, which not only greatly reduces the lateness rate of various subjects, but also allows the chairman Ada, the sales directors Fred and George to earn a lot of money.

Some people who didn't buy it also placed an order with the twins, and some even said that they could increase the price.Ada is also very generous to this kind of VIP customers who increase the price. She will add some things to the map that are not available in the normal version.

This map was born out of the Marauder's Map. Although the map made by Ada is far from the level of the Marauders, the objects of use are completely different.

The Marauder's Map is more convenient to monitor the castle, allowing users to do what they want safely.And the one made by Ada is a map, not a single secret road is drawn on it, it is only used to plan routes and navigate.

Ada is definitely not the only one who can make maps in the school, so after the navigation map became popular, a large number of imitations appeared in the school.

Although these imitations are cheap, they are either poor in workmanship or inaccurate in navigation, full of various problems, and have received a lot of negative reviews.

In this way, more people will support the original product instead. Sure enough, no matter what you do, you have to rely on your peers to set it off.

In fact, I can’t blame these imitators for being useless. What these people imitated was the map made by Ada, and what Ada imitated was the predators. They lost at the root, and there is no comparison at all. How could they have competed.

Ada even felt that Dumbledore should give the three of them a special contribution award in recognition of their glorious deeds of helping their classmates.

In the afternoon, Professor Snape "warmly greeted" every student who entered the basement classroom. He stood in the shadow of the classroom, and with his black robe that never changed, he looked like an old bat.

Ada greeted him in a low voice as she passed by him, and I don't know if Snape heard it.

Potions class is actually very difficult. It seems like a few simple processes, but it is not the case when you start making it. The order of adding materials, measuring, making techniques, and controlling the temperature of the fire are all learned.

Professor Snape is not the kind of person who can teach you step by step. Taking this course requires more on your own talent, understanding and comprehension.In other words, a potion genius like him never thought that learning potions would require a little teaching from a professor. In his consciousness, such a person should not exist.

The course itself is very difficult, and there is always a chattering old bat behind you to blow up your mind. Potions class with Snape is equal to double the pain.

For example, Patricia Stimson of Gryffindor, this poor girl has been sprayed by Snape many times to burst her mind, crying while adding ingredients to the cauldron, and the last pot of potion became litter.

When the students all entered the classroom, Snape stood on the podium. He looked around at the students below. There was no emotion in his empty eyes, so that the students could not guess what Snape was going to do next. But if they go directly to class, it's better to spray them first.

"Saw you again in this dungeon, some of whom I really don't want to see," Snape said. "I hope you haven't had your brains eaten by trolls this holiday. If I find anyone His head is empty, and he will not even think about stepping into this classroom this semester."
