Chapter 136 Final Inventory
The auditorium was still decorated with silver and green. Although it was only the second year that I saw it, Ada was still tired of seeing it.
In fact, the students of the four houses are all similar, there is no distinction between them, and they all have their own strengths. The competition for the College Cup should have been fierce, but Snape's blatant favoritism turned the competition into a fierce one. It became Slytherin's one-man show.
It's not that Gryffindor doesn't want to pull Slytherin down, or that everyone doesn't work hard enough, it can only be blamed on their teammates being too unsatisfactory. It's like two children fighting, and the other's parents join in the fight, while your own parents watch from the side without even the intention of pulling the right hand. There will be no other result besides being beaten.
Throughout the school year, other parents Snape spared no effort to deduct points from the other three houses, and Gryffindor, who acted impulsively, was the focus of attention.
Compared with Snape's unscrupulous methods, Professor McGonagall appears to be more fair. She treats the other three houses equally and has stricter requirements for her Gryffindor. The fair behavior of his own dean only made matters worse, making Gryffindor's score even more pitiful and unable to compete with Slytherin in the House Cup.
After Dumbledore finished speaking and announced that the House Cup once again belonged to Slytherin, he sat down, but still did not personally tell Snape what a routine was and what social evil was.
The decoration is silver and green, just silver and green. After all, we have seen it for so many years, and everyone is already used to it. No longer concerned about the ownership of the College Cup, students from the four colleges began to enjoy the sumptuous academic year dinner. Tomorrow they will board the train back to London, return to their homes, and be temporarily separated from their friends and classmates.
At this time of year, Hogwarts will send away a group of graduates and welcome new blood in September. When someone leaves, someone comes. Hogwarts has always been here, opening its arms and embracing every child who comes here.
Ada was also enjoying the food, but instead of chatting with the people around her like the twins, she was preoccupied with checking the system's annual inventory.
Ada has grown a little taller this year and is already five feet three inches (a little over 1.6 meters, less than 1.61 meters). Although her weight is a bit heavier than last year, she is still on the thin side overall, especially since she has lost a lot of weight recently, otherwise she should be able to gain more weight.
Ada is good at one more subject than last year, becoming Potions, Charms, Transfiguration, and Defense Against the Dark Arts. Of course, there is no need to discuss whether it is black magic or black magic defense. Learn from the foreigners and learn skills to defeat the foreigners. If you don’t understand black magic, how can you defend yourself well?
Of the remaining two major subjects, Ada's History of Magic relied entirely on personal understanding and rote memorization, and could not be called good at it. Herbal medicine depends on the feeling of the exam on the day of the exam and the kindness of Professor Sprout. It is a type of decision-making.
At the end of last year, the system gave Ada a talent called recklessness. This year, Ada has never succeeded in double-casting. This year the system also added Ada's talents, and there are still two talents, Blazing Soul and Flicker.
Blazing Soul, a burning fighting spirit can increase the casting speed of fire magic, increase the damage and attack range of fire spells, and the improved effects can be superimposed.
With the gift of proficiency in the fire system, Ada felt that she might be able to burn down a city like Grindelwald in the future.
Another talent is Blink, through which Ada can silently teleport short distances to attack enemies, and she can also teleport to avoid enemy damage.
Although the teleportation distance is limited and cannot be used like Apparition, Blink can ignore the anti-Apparition spell. In places where Apparition is not possible (such as Hogwarts), Ada can still use Blink to travel short distances. of transmission.
The spells Ada masters are not much different from last year except for a few more black magic spells. The proficiency of some of the spells that Ada often uses, such as the stun spell and the disarming spell, is almost full. It is not yet known whether there will be any qualitative changes when the proficiency is full.
The previous kill reward was to upgrade the spell. Since the spell can be upgraded, Ada feels that as long as she reaches the full proficiency level, she should be able to upgrade the spell without a reward. This is something she needs to verify next year.
Amidst the indiscriminate killing of innocent people and hard work, Ada gave up shortcuts and chose to work hard. Although it was difficult, at least she felt at ease. Magic is not mathematics. If you say you don't know it, you won't know it. No matter how hard you try, it will be useless. Ada believes that as long as she puts in her efforts in magic, she will definitely gain something.
This year's system inventory is almost over, and what's left is some useless offensive language. These words were completely insignificant compared to Snape, and there was no way to form an effective attack on Ada, not even to break through the defense.
Thanks to Snape for his help, his poisonous tongue for training Ada to do what she wants; thanks to his difficulties for training Ada to love potions; finally, thanks to his Jin Jia Long, Ada is a girl after all, and she still needs to buy some new clothes.
Early the next morning, compared with the lively atmosphere last night, the castle became deserted. The students packed their luggage and left the school, and the huge campus immediately became empty.
The small station in Hogsmeade is so crowded that you can see nothing but the backs of heads and Hagrid's huge figure. Students from the four colleges are crowded here, waiting to board the train home and spend a relaxing and happy summer vacation.
The doors of the Hogwarts Express train with locomotive number 5972 finally opened in response to the eager anticipation of the students. The students rushed forward impatiently, and Ada and the twins were also squeezed onto the train by the surging crowd.
After finally finding an empty box, Ada and the twins quickly occupied it. Those students who couldn't find their own box could only look at them with envy, and then continued to shuffle across the train to find their own box.
The train puffed out thick steam and started slowly, and the journey home officially began. There were only three people in the box, Ada and the twins. Lee Jordan, Angelina and Aaliyah were scattered by the crowd just now. At this moment, they didn’t know which car they were in or whether they had found seats.
Fred played with the gold galleons in his hand and said, "I still can't believe that this money was really given to you by Snape's old bat!"
"Is it possible that his conscience discovered it?" George shook his head again, "No, he has no conscience to discover. Could it be that he has grown a conscience again at this age?"
Ada was holding the clothes crackle explosion card. She shuffled the cards and said, "I don't know, but these galleons were indeed given to me by him, and I also confirmed it with Professor McGonagall."
"Maybe we mistakenly blamed him. He may not be as bad as we thought." Fred looked at the cards he drew, his eyebrows twisted into a Sichuan shape, "It was just entertainment, I am a Nat." I won’t pay for it.”
George also said: "Snape's face of protecting Slytherin is really disgusting. I wish Professor McGonagall or Dumbledore could help us!"
The twins holding the cards looked at each other. They didn't know what they were planning, but it didn't matter. In front of Ada, their little ideas had no effect at all.
"Although Snape takes care of me, I have earned this money through hard work, so I can spend it with peace of mind." Ada said, "Whoever loses the most today will wash the socks of the person who wins the most during the summer vacation. Why? Sample?"
Fred and George looked at Ada and shook their heads together. Their eyes were telling Ada: Do you think we are stupid?
