Chapter 2344 Application (Nucleic Acid Test Again Today)

This year, there was no trouble at the beginning of the school year. No one had any accidents or troubles. Everyone happily spent the first night back at Hogwarts, and then devoted themselves to the course from the second day on. among.

But the thing that excites the students the most is Ellie's Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

Because of this, when Ellie walked into the classroom, almost all the students stared at her with glowing eyes. And Ellie just walked slowly to the front of the podium, then looked at the students, and spoke after a while.

"Today we're going to learn how to deal with a werewolf."

"Hey……………"

Hearing Ellie's words, the students couldn't help sighing in disappointment, but Ellie was obviously not moved, she just glanced at the crowd, and then spoke again.

"After teaching the werewolf course, I will give you a random test. If the passing rate is high enough, then I will consider teaching you how to deal with a dementor next."

Hearing this, the frustrated and frustrated expressions of the students suddenly became excited. Although Ellie did not say it clearly, but considering that they all saw Ellie summoning a huge dragon to deal with those dementors that day, then this sentence The next meaning is naturally very clear.

So the students became more serious than ever. Not only did they earnestly learn all the knowledge about werewolves taught by Ellie in class, but they also took the initiative to go to the library to inquire and borrow books and records about werewolves. And even when walking in the corridors, most of the students discussed were stories about how to deal with werewolves.

Not only that, after that, Ellie also taught them how to play a game called "Werewolf Killing" in class, which made the students even more excited.

Only Professor Lupine was somewhat embarrassed, and Ellie could see him tense and embarrassed every time he saw her, as if worried that she would find out who he really was - but Ellie could assure him that he didn't have to So nervous, because I already knew his true identity.

This situation continued until Gryffindor's second Defense Against the Dark Arts class. Ellie soon discovered that although most of the students were still studying and listening hard, many of them were also absent-minded, and seemed a little distracted Uneasy.

"So... what happened today? Do you have anything more important than dealing with werewolves?"

Ellie put down the wand in her hand, stared at the crowd and asked. But upon hearing her inquiry, the students immediately turned their heads to look at Harry Potter, while Hermione hesitated and raised her hand.

"Teacher Aili, we just had the first divination class and interpreted the tea leaves, and the result..."

"Oh, so Potter is going to die this year, right?"

Hearing this, Ellie immediately understood what was going on, and at this moment everyone looked at her in surprise.

"I understand your thoughts, but I can assure you that although Professor Sybill Trelawney has considerable strength in divination, you must know that for some reason, she made The prophecies are basically meaningless, but on the other hand, if she utters a nonsense as if possessed by something, and then she doesn't know what she said after recovering...you have to be careful .”

".........?"

Facing Ellie's answer, everyone was dumbfounded, and Ron also raised his hand at this time.

"That... teacher? But, but she successfully predicted that Neville would break his first cup..."

"Prophecies sometimes come close to hints, and are vague."

Ellie narrowed her eyes, thought for a moment, and finally decided... It's actually quite fun to mess with others.

"I'm not afraid to tell you that many times the so-called prophecy is actually just a short deduction...Miss Granger."

"exist!"

Hearing Ellie call her name, Hermione also hurriedly stood up.

"When you see an apple swaying from side to side in an apple tree, do you think it will fall to the ground next?"

"...That's right."

"This is actually a kind of prediction, because we have accumulated enough experience, we all know that the apple will fall to the ground, so even if it does not fall, when we see it, we will automatically produce this judgment."

"But Neville did break his first teacup."

Ron interrupted again anxiously, and Ellie waved her hand.

"This is actually a very clever psychological hint. You see, everyone knows that Mr. Longbottom is sometimes careless and clumsy. If you tell him that he will break the next cup, he will be nervous... ... Mr. Longbottom, were you very nervous at that time?"

"Ah, yes..."

Neville also nodded at this moment.

"She told me I was going to break the cup and it scared me, I didn't mean to, I really..."

"This is normal. When you are forced to focus on one thing, you are actually prone to mistakes. And when you hear the other person talking, you have actually been hinted. You see, for example, I let you perform A spell, and then tell you that you will definitely fail, and then you really fail... This is not my prediction, it is simply that you are under too much pressure."

Hearing this, the other students suddenly became interested, and Hermione raised her hand high again.

"So, Mrs. Ellie, do you mean... those who divination through tea leaves and teacups are completely nonsense?"

"Divination is not my specialty. Of course, I have to tell you that there are indeed situations in the world where some kind of omen can be used to hint the future, but that kind of situation is very rare. At least I don't think it will appear in a group of students A place to drink tea......Actually, in many cases, the ambiguity of divination is a kind of protection and inducement, for example..."

Ellie pointed at another student again.

"I tell you, you will be unlucky soon, do you believe it?"

"Huh? This..."

"A lot of times, you can see a lot of things from the face, so you can figure out the psychology... For example, if a person is always frowning, he will think of the worst when encountering things. For this kind of person, I can also give him a prophecy' You will encounter some very bad things recently, be careful'. In fact, of course I don’t know what bad things are, but I can tell from his expression that he will consider many things to the bad side, So when he encounters a bad thing, he will only think that my prediction is correct...and I said the nearest, so when will it be the nearest? An hour later? A day later? A week later? A month later? Think about it carefully, can you really not encounter any bad things during these times?"

“……………………”

Hearing this, the students shook their heads.

"So you see, divination is such a thing in many cases. If you take it too seriously, you will only be forced to hint, which will lead to disaster. Also, if there is no clear directional prediction, then you can regard it as meaningless nonsense."

Ellie waved her hand.

"Okay, now let's continue with the class."

After Ellie's explanation, Harry's expression relaxed a lot, while Hermione seemed to transfer her enthusiasm for divination to the psychological level. Of course, this is not a good thing for Professor Trelawney. She was almost blown away by Ellie's explanation, and even went to Dumbledore to protest—but for Ellie, her protest Not painful at all.

You are a classy gypsy witch teaching me how to do things as a prophetic mage?

Generally speaking, it was peaceful most of the time, Lupine was also a good teacher of protection of magical animals, and Malfoy didn't bother him, and Harry and others naturally didn't get into any trouble because of it.

So you see, many times Hagrid is the root of all evil, and he can almost avoid most of the trouble just by getting out of Hogwarts.

But before Halloween, Ellie still encountered a little trouble.

She was blocked by Harry, and he handed her a piece of paper - not a love letter, of course.

"Love, Mrs Ellie, I want to go to Hogsmeade, but my aunt and uncle, they haven't signed my form..."

"Why don't you go to Snape?"

Looking at the permission form in her hand, Ellie looked at Harry with a smile, while the latter turned slightly red and lowered his head.

"Snape...Professor he wouldn't let me go, saying it was safer for me to stay at Hogwarts."

Frankly speaking, it's not safe to go anywhere. Of course, in fact, Sirius came to kill Peter Pettigrew. It can only be said that Harry was unlucky and Ron was in the same college, so it gave others the illusion that Sirius was going after Harry Potter . But for Ellie... of course it doesn't matter.

Pretty much the same anyway.

But why are you blushing about Snape? What happened this holiday season?

Hmm... Forget it, Ellie decided not to care about these things, she is not the goddess of order after all.

"No problem, you've been nervous enough during this time, it's not bad to go to Hogsmeade to relax."

While speaking, Ellie signed on it.

"I personally don't have any opinion on you going out to play. Of course, I don't know whether this signature is valid."

"Thank you, Teacher Ellie."

Harry was also very happy to get Ellie's signature. He took back the application form and thanked Ellie, then turned and left.

Ellie shrugged her shoulders, then looked away.

I don't know how Sirius will act this time?

Could he still be raising his delicate chrysanthemum?
