Chapter 259 End of the Year

The temperature is getting higher day by day, summer is coming quietly in the blink of an eye, and the mandrake has matured under the careful care of Professor Sprout. Without the threat of the secret room and the basilisk, Ada was recruited by Snape and was responsible for preparing the Mandela potion together.

One night, Mandela's potion was prepared, and Colin Creevey and Justin Finch-Fletchley, who had used the potion, were lifted from petrification and returned to the students. And the school administrator Filch can continue to dance with his cat, and Hogwarts is completely back to normal.

Tom Riddle and his basilisk were busy in vain. Not only did they fail to resurrect, they also failed to eliminate those who were not worthy of learning magic. The basilisk lost its life, and the venom burned a big hole in the diary. He lost his wife and lost his troops.

In the dazzling sunshine, many things in the school are also changing. The first was that the remaining Defense Against the Dark Arts classes were cancelled. Although Snape said he would be happy to teach instead, Dumbledore did not comply with his small request.

Then the Gryffindor students experienced a terrible time. Snape transferred his dissatisfaction with Dumbledore to the little lion. In Potions class, the number of points deducted from Gryffindor increased rapidly.

Despite this, it still cannot affect Gryffindor's defending of the Academy Cup. The two hundred points each added by Ada and Harry were really crucial.

Gilderoy Lockhart's sentence was also handed down. The Ministry of Magic disclosed all of his crimes, a portion of his illegal gains were donated to those he had harmed, and Lockhart himself had to serve his sentence in Azkaban.

Many people couldn't last even three months in Azkaban, Hagrid would shudder because of Azkaban, and Lockhart's sentence basically meant that he had little chance of getting out of there alive.

Lucius Malfoy was also punished. He was expelled from the board of directors. If he dared to disturb Tai Sui, he must be prepared for backlash. Moreover, Mr. Malfoy's methods were really shady. He was able to expel the principal and drive Dumbledore out of the school by threatening other school directors.

Now that the world is at peace, Mr. Malfoy's actions behind his back are naturally open to the public. The school directors no longer want to work with him. No one likes a colleague who curses them. Mr. Malfoy left the show in dejection, having gained nothing but making a fuss.

What is gratifying is that Ginny has finally regained her lively and cheerful personality.

The little girl no longer always looks worried or crying. She has made many friends and occasionally takes Gallon for a walk on campus.

Everything was going in the right direction and everyone was happy except Percy.

The quick-tempered Ginny stabbed her brother in the back and revealed that Percy was dating Penelope Crevat. That's why Percy kept himself locked in his room last summer and wouldn't lend Ron his owl.

The twins swore on the surface that they would not make fun of Percy, but secretly they ordered a wig and borrowed a set of Ravenclaw clothes.

From time to time, the two brothers would put on robes and wigs and run up to Percy. They would also talk to Percy in a coquettish tone, and even act coquettishly. The onlookers were disgusted by the sight, and the little lions visibly lost weight.

Playing is fun, making trouble is troublesome, Fred and George still have a sense of proportion. The two of them have never pranked Penello, nor will they disturb Percy and Penello's date. They still have this bottom line.

Unlike the little lions who were forced to lose weight collectively, probably because of their tolerance and fat body, Ada not only did not lose weight, but actually gained a lot of weight. Her weight has soared to 108 pounds (approximately 49 kilograms), but her height has not grown much, only a little taller than last year.

As bad friends, Fred and George definitely had nothing good to say. They believed that Ada gained weight because she was lazy and always stayed there. Of course Ada would not admit that it was because of her laziness that she only gained weight but not body.

But she was still a little pessimistic, thinking that her height should have reached her head, and there would be little room for improvement.

In fact, girls are not short anymore when they reach Ada's age. She is just a little greedy. In addition, the people around her were also growing crazily, which gave her a sense of crisis.

Maybe, she really should do more exercise like the twins said?

Just as she was told, Ada immediately increased her activity. However, she neither ran around the castle nor lifted iron. Instead, she went to the secret passage behind the mirror on the fifth floor of the castle for the first time in a long time.

Because of the secret room and the basilisk, Ada rarely comes here this school year and practices with the trial dolls a lot less. In the following days, Ada would stay here during the rest of the night except for activities held at dawn, practicing with the trial dolls.

The hard difficulty trial doll has the same strength as Professor McGonagall or Snape. It may not master some special and personal magic like them, but it should not be underestimated.

The trial doll only looks like a human, but it is not human after all. It has no human emotions or mentality. It will not be influenced by mentality, will not make careless calculations, and will not make omissions due to anxiety. On the contrary, it will be more difficult to deal with than real humans.

This year's accumulation and accumulation are not in vain. Ada has made great progress. She has been able to be on par with the trial doll most of the time, and occasionally she can win a few times.

Although she was able to win against the trial dolls, Ada was never able to obtain a three-star rating from the system. If you fail to achieve a three-star rating, you will not be able to obtain clearance rewards, nor will you be able to unlock the next difficulty level.

The next level of difficulty is equivalent to facing Dumbledore, which makes people bald just thinking about it.

When June came, Ada still failed to obtain a three-star rating, but she had to stop practical training. Because the secret passage that had been in disrepair for a long time could not withstand Ada's daily abuse, the entire secret passage collapsed and could no longer be used.

If Ada hadn't run quickly and escaped before the secret passage completely collapsed, she would have been sleeping underground at this moment.

In June, when there are no final exams to take, the sun is exceptionally bright and students having fun can be seen everywhere on campus.

Filch reverted to being the annoying school administrator, stalking and causing trouble for students. Mrs. Norris, who was freed from petrification, also became Filch's stooge again, helping him to commit evil.

In the blink of an eye, the 1992-1993 school year came to an end, and Ada also completed her inventory of this school year. She has also gained a lot this year, and some of the spells she often uses have also been upgraded.

Regardless of the difference in strength, Ada is probably the opponent no one wants to face. There are all kinds of magic and unheard-of spell effects. No matter who encounters Ada, they will die or lose their skin.

All tasks issued by the system this school year have also been completed. With the help of gold-framed glasses, Ada found the hidden diary. She did not expect that the glasses, which she had always ignored, could also be used to find objects.

These glasses are like a Niffler placed on the bridge of the nose, and they are not just ordinary Nifflers who only look for shiny objects.

The system's rewards are also generous. Ada has gained a skill [directly pointing at the heart], which allows her to see through the desires of others when she looks at them.

However, the conditions for using this skill are also very strict. Not only does it require Ada to establish a relationship with this person, whether it is a friend or an enemy, it also limits the number of times it can be used per week (which can be increased).

In addition, there is the most important point, which requires Ada to distinguish herself. The desires Ada sees in other people's hearts are really what they want most. Isn't it just another sophisticated disguise?

The year-end dinner was still going on, and the year-end inventory was also very enjoyable, but when Ada saw the new talents, she instantly turned into a bad face. Ada really wants to ask the system, what does [lie come true] mean?

One of the mission rewards is [Try lying to me], and a new talent is [Lies come true]. Why is Ada getting into trouble with lying this year?

One is used to see through other people's lies and prevent oneself from being deceived; the other is used to help oneself lie and make oneself a liar, both are Lockhart!

From now on, Ada might as well change her career to crack down on counterfeiting, or imitate Lockhart in cheating. What kind of wizard is she? Wizards don't make money!
