Chapter 151: Clearing the Fog, the Future Is Even More Confusing
On Monday, September 2nd, Ada was sitting in the auditorium having breakfast, and the twins were telling her about the map sales last night. Although the sales of the upgraded maps are good, the old maps resold by old students still have some impact. Some students who do not have enough pocket money choose the lower-priced old maps.
The same situation is the same in the girls' dormitory that Ada is responsible for. This has been expected for a long time. Ada herself is also using second-hand books, isn't she? She can't monopolize it directly by force. That would be too overbearing. On the contrary, it will lose people's hearts and make her business more difficult.
After a while, Ron and Harry came over, each holding a map in their hands, but Ron seemed a little unhappy, and he didn't even look at the twins.
Ron complained to Ada angrily: "Ada, Fred and George sold me a map last night. Forget it the original price. I just wanted to ask if there was an internal price. The two of them just sat down and raised the price for a map. You actually want me for a galleung!”
The twins were really good at raising prices for their younger brother. The speed at which they cheated their younger brother was far faster than Ron's. When Ron finally got out of the twins' pit, there was still another pit waiting for him.
"But didn't you buy it at the original price in the end?" Fred said, "Public is public, private is private, we just distinguish between public and private."
"We can give you pocket money or buy you gifts. But business is business, and you can't open this hole. Once it is opened, everyone will come to us to argue." George explained to his brother in a good-tempered way.
That is to say, Ron has just started school now. If he were a few years older, George wouldn't be too lazy to talk nonsense with him and figure it out on his own.
Ron thought about it and felt that what the twins said made sense, but he was still a little unhappy. Yesterday, in front of his new roommate, his brother prevented him from getting off the stage. He was still a little angry about this.
"Want to know how to shock your roommates?" Ada asked, putting down the vegetable soup in her hand. "Want to make a huge impression on them?"
Ron nodded wildly, he wanted to do this so much, and he also wanted to increase his sense of presence. Not only him, but also the twins and Harry were curious about Ada's solution.
"When I go back tonight, prepare a longer and stronger rope." Ada raised the soup bowl again, not to mention that the taste of the vegetable soup was not bad.
"Then what?" Fred urged as he grabbed Ada's soup bowl.
"Then hang yourself at the door of the dormitory in the middle of the night. Your roommates will get up together tomorrow and it will definitely shock them for the whole year!"
Professor McGonagall, who was handing out class schedules, happened to hear Ada's eloquent talk. She said calmly: "Ada, if you hang yourself at the door of the dormitory tonight, you won't come to see me on Wednesday."
Ada sniffed and didn't smell Polyjuice Potion on Professor McGonagall, so why was the way she spoke so familiar, making people think of the old bat in the underground classroom?
"Also, if I know that you went to the right corridor on the fourth floor of the castle, you will be ready to hang yourself at the door of the Gryffindor lounge!" Professor McGonagall showed her kind smile.
Ada took the class schedule with both hands and quickly told Professor McGonagall that she would definitely not go. She would abide by the rules and laws this school year and would not hinder the competition for the Academy Cup. Only then did Professor McGonagall let her go.
After glancing at the class schedule, Ada ignored Professor McGonagall's warning. She had a lot of classes to attend this year!
Monday is Charms and Defense Against the Dark Arts, and there is Divination in the second period in the afternoon; Tuesday is Herbology, Care of Magical Creatures, and History of Magic; Wednesday is Transfiguration and Charms; Thursday is Defense Against the Dark Arts and Ancient Runes; Friday is Transfiguration and Potions.
This year's Friday is black again, and the two toughest professors have classes on that day. This is why blessings never come together, and misfortunes never come singly.
The morning session on Charms was still the same. Professor Flitwick was a veteran professor and completely trustworthy. Professor Flitwick first took everyone to review the content of the previous school year before starting a new course.
There was a sharp contrast between the steady Professor Flitwick and Quirrell, who was doing Defense Against the Dark Arts in the afternoon. The level of teaching was so bad that Quirrell was reduced to nothing.
Quirrell really felt sorry for Ravenclaw, so he could graduate from Hogwarts. Ada had serious doubts about the quality of education in the school. The Defense Against the Dark Arts class was stumbling, not only because the professor stuttered, but also because he couldn't even cast spells well.
And once there is any "commotion" in the classroom, Quirrell will definitely be frightened. His weak and unable to take care of himself is really frightening, fearing that one day he will be frightened to death by his own fart.
The third-year Gryffindor, led by the twins, made a big start and wondered when Quirrell would be expelled by Dumbledore. That's right, it's not about guessing when the curse of the position was defeated, but about Dumbledore's patience.
The first option was one month, and the most people bet on it, which shows how much everyone dislikes Quirrell.
Ada suddenly had doubts about her previous ideas. Can Quirrell really make trouble at his level? I'm afraid he can't even beat the first grade. He is obviously a young man, but Ada always feels that Quirrell looks like an old man in his dying years.
This may be a bit insulting to the old man, because all the professors in the school who are older than Chilo look tougher than him.
It would make sense if all of this was Quirrell acting, and he was doing it to numb Dumbledore and make the headmaster think he was harmless. His rapid improvement in acting skills is a bit surprising. Did he sign up for some acting improvement class in the last month of summer vacation?
The Defense Against the Dark Arts that made the students fearful is finally over. Now Ada misses Grover Cecil very much. Although he is a cheat, he teaches real skills and is several Benedicts better than Quirrell who just pretends to be a fool. ·Welfare.
After class, Ada and the twins were still not free. They had to rush to the north tower immediately. The divination class is taught on the roof of the tower. This makes students who choose this course hate divination before class starts. Climbing the stairs is really tiring.
Climbing up the long spiral staircase step by step, there was a knight in the painting croaking in her ears. When Ada climbed to the top floor platform, her least favorite professor had been replaced by a special professor she had never met. Lee Lawney.
The divination class didn't look like a classroom at all, but more like an old-fashioned teahouse. There were twenty small round tables inside, and a row of golden anzai on the wall. The crystal ball on it looked like a shining light ball.
The Hogwarts Sky Revolving Drink Bar is located on the top floor of the North Tower, overlooking the school scenery. The owner Trelawney provides free divination services to customers. It’s better to take action than to take action. Book a seat with Owl now!
"What does this room smell like?" Fred asked. "It smells funny."
Ada sniffed it, and then said: "Sherry, and some other wines. I don't know the rest."
Other students in the class were also whispering, discussing the somewhat "unbelievable" classroom and Trelawney, who had yet to be seen. At this time, a soft, unclear voice sounded from the shadows.
"Welcome," said the voice, "it is so good to finally see you in the physical world."
Professor Trelawney, who was wearing a glass ball, walked into the firelight. She had countless beads and chains hanging around her neck, and many tables and rings on her arms and hands. She looked more like a god. Stick.
The students sat on armchairs or futons, and naturally Ada and the twins sat around the same table. The three people all saw deep regret in each other's expressions. They thought Trelawney was as unreliable as Quirrell.
Trelawney talked a lot about her third eye and extraordinary insight in the front. She praised herself and at the same time discouraged a wave of classmates from being enthusiastic about divination.
Just like the name of the textbook, "Pull Through the Fog to See the Future," many people choose this course to learn divination and want to find clues about the future through this course, rather than to listen to a glowing insect show off.
Trelawney began to talk about her plans for the school year, predicting a few small things, and then the highlight of the course came, and she divined a terrible outcome: "In May, those among us will One will leave us forever.”
Before taking this course, Haoxin's students went to inquire about this course, and the feedback they received was very consistent - Trelawney was here to eat and drink. At the same time, she also learned about Trelawney's hobby. She would predict the death of a student at the beginning of each year.
Finally hearing the chapter on death, some drowsy students immediately stopped feeling sleepy. They wanted to know who would be the lucky one and the one who was predicted to die.
This is really becoming more and more like a magic stick, and the techniques are exactly the same as those of the gentlemen in the square.
As the old saying goes: S.P looks at photos and is unlucky enough to go to the divination stall. Wherever you arrive, first use a calamity or pass to photograph people there to scare them, and then the money in your pocket will go into their pockets. When you leave, you will still feel really spiritual and be able to befriend people. Thank you sir!
Of course, there will always be experts in this world, but how can it be so easy to meet such an expert like this? For example, the ancestors of the professor in front of you would not see Cassandra Trelawney squatting on the roadside in Diagon Alley, using a crystal ball to tell people.
The teaching staff at Hogwarts is uneven, which really makes people worried about the future of the school! The "future Headmaster of Hogwarts" is now in a heavier mood than visiting the grave. She has already begun to think about how to reorganize the teaching team after taking over the school.
