The Emerald at Hogwarts

After the torturous history of magic class ended, Ada finally had two days of peace and quiet.

On Wednesday night Ada has an astronomy class, which involves using a telescope to observe the stars.When Ada and others climbed up to the astronomy tower panting, Professor Sinistra was already waiting there.

Under the leadership of Professor Sinistra, the little wizards learned the names of different stars and the orbits of the planets.The night was very dark that night, with the milky-white Milky Way stretching across the sky. At this time, Pluto was not yet a dwarf planet, and the number of planets in the solar system was still nine.

Defense Against the Dark Arts is a course that everyone is looking forward to. As the most dangerous position recognized in Hogwarts, students are also very curious about Professor Welfare who has just filled the vacancy.

Professor Benedick Foley is handsome and well-dressed. He always smiles and looks like an unlearned playboy with embroidered pillows.But in fact, he is very knowledgeable and his lectures are lively and interesting, which is in sharp contrast to the dry Professor Binns.

Moreover, the considerate welfare professor also promised to lead everyone to practice in the next class.Such an outstanding welfare professor is naturally welcomed by the students.Coupled with his outstanding appearance, he became the popular lover among the girls at Hogwarts.

On Friday morning, Ada and the others were finally going to Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class.

When Ada arrived at the Transfiguration classroom, everyone was sitting quietly and honestly on their seats, not even one dared to gasp loudly.Professor McGonagall is very strict with her students. This is the consensus among the freshmen in this class, so no one wants to get into trouble with her in the first class.

George waved to Ada and motioned for her to sit over.Alia sat with Lee Jordan, while Fred abandoned his twin brother George and chose to sit with Angelina.

After Ada sat down, she officially began to look at the classroom.The layout of the classroom reflected Professor McGonagall's style. Everything was placed in an orderly manner, except for a tabby cat on the desk that seemed a bit out of place.

When Ada saw this calico cat for the first time, her heart felt like a pot of boiling water.She thought silently in her heart: Wait a minute, why does this cat look so familiar?Especially the patterns around the cat’s eyes look like square glasses!Isn't this the stray cat that I fed when I was in the orphanage?Why does it appear here? This is not magic at all!

The bell rang for class, and the tabby cat on the desk jumped down with the bell. When it was about to land, the cat changed. She turned into Professor McGonagall!

There were ten thousand trolls whizzing by in Ada's heart, and the stray cat she fed turned out to be Professor McGonagall!I can't believe that Professor McGonagall, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, is so good at this...

The first-year freshmen, who had never seen much of the world, were stunned by Professor McGonagall's move. They even forgot how to express their surprise...

Professor McGonagall, who was wearing an emerald green robe, nodded with satisfaction. It was obvious that the students' behavior of keeping quiet in the classroom was in line with Professor McGonagall's wishes.

"Transfiguration is the most complex and dangerous magic among the courses you learn at Hogwarts." Professor McGonagall walked back to the podium and continued, "If anyone is mischievous in my class, I will Just ask him out and never let him come in again. I warned you."

Professor McGonagall, who was polite before attacking, pulled out her wand and turned the desk into a pig, and then back again.The students were once again attracted by Professor McGonagall's superb skills, and they wished they could be like Professor McGonagall and transform furniture into animals.

Only after taking down a lot of complicated notes and difficult theories, they gave up on this unrealistic idea.After imparting theoretical knowledge, Professor McGonagall gave each student a match and began to try to let the students turn it into a needle.

She demonstrated it first and said that it was a very simple basic operation.Compared to turning living animals into inanimate furniture, everyone does think it is much easier to turn matches into needles. After all, the two things are at least similar in shape and both are inanimate.

However, the ideal is very full, but the reality has always been very skinny.After looking at it with my eyes, I thought I knew it. After thinking about it, I thought it would be fine if I had hands. The hand said: You two fart!

Manual practice fails quite a bit.Transfiguration is a very advanced magic, so it is naturally more difficult to get started.

Ada was watching George compete with the matches. She was so happy that she didn't even notice Professor McGonagall standing behind her.

"Miss Drizzt, why do you keep looking at Mr. Weasley's matches, where are your matches?"

The startled Ada quickly took the transformed needle in her hand and raised it to show Professor McGonagall, indicating that she had not deserted.

Professor McGonagall first took a look at the needle in Ada's hand and had to say that Ada did a very good job.But Professor McGonagall didn't want to feed Ada's pride, so she continued to ask: "So you don't plan to continue practicing, but just stare at Mr. Weasley's matches idly?"

When Ada heard the older cat girl... No, when Ada heard Professor McGonagall's words, a trace of fear surged into her heart, as if she had been caught by the dean for doing something wrong in her previous life.She quickly admitted her mistake and tried to get leniency from Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall placed all the remaining matches on Ada's desk so that she could continue practicing the lesson, and then took away the needle in Ada's hand.

Looking at the matches on the table, Ada picked up the wand again and started casting spells.Under the influence of the spell, the match gradually turned silver, and one end became sharper. After the transformation spell was cast, the match also turned into the shape of a needle.

Ada can actually add a pattern to the needle to make it more beautiful.But after thinking about it for a while, I gave up. I could pretend this time, but it’s not necessary.

"You did well, but you could have done better." After finishing speaking, Professor McGonagall walked directly back to the podium without even a word of praise.

McGonagall, who was standing on the podium, raised the needle in her hand so that other students in the classroom could see it, "Miss Drizzt's transformation spell earned Gryffindor five points."

Seeing that they could get extra points, the freshmen who were a little frustrated at first started to compete with the matches one after another.But until the end of get out of class, no second person had successfully done it.

The potions class in the afternoon was held in an underground classroom, which was much colder than the warm main building of the castle.There are many glass jars placed along the wall, with specimens of different animals soaked in them, which makes people shiver.

Gryffindor and Slytherin collided again, and the enemies were extremely jealous when they met, but this time it was their home court.Coupled with Professor Snape's famous calf protection, the little lions naturally fell into a disadvantage when they choked and stared at each other.

Cody Avery is still as stinky as ever, and his raised corners of his mouth make people want to punch him.Every time we bump into each other these days, Cody Avery is always the one who is most active in finding trouble. He has obviously never been beaten hard by society.

When Severus Snape appeared at the door of the classroom, the Potions classroom, which had been bustling with people just now, fell silent for an instant, as if everyone was under a spell at the same time.

Snape walked from the door to the podium, his black robes swinging behind him like a bat flying in the air.He has sallow skin, a hooked nose, and greasy black hair that reaches his shoulders. His eyes are also dark, like a tunnel with no end in sight.Ada even felt that if she kept staring at those eyes, she would feel deep despair.

He started calling names, just for the sake of calling names, and Snape didn't even want to look up.But when he pointed to Ada, Snape unexpectedly looked up, but this look seemed to have a hint of disgust.

"You are here to learn the precise science and art of potion-making," he began, his voice barely above a whisper, but everyone caught his every word.Like Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape has the intimidating power to keep a classroom in order without much effort.

"Since there's no foolish wand waving here, many of you won't believe it's magic. I don't expect you to really appreciate the beauty of that simmering cauldron with white smoke and fragrance, you guys. Can't really understand the mind-blowing, mind-blinding magic of the fluid that flows into people's veins... I can teach you how to increase your prestige, brew glory, and even prevent death - but there must be one, you're not me It's just the kind of idiot you often encounter."

The whole class seemed to be infected by his words, and they were eager to prove to others that they were not stupid fools!

"Drizzt!" Professor Snape said suddenly, "If I need you to submit a bezoar as an assignment, where should you find it?"

When Snape called her name and looked up at her, Ada instinctively felt that something was wrong, and now the problem really came.It's just that Ada doesn't understand where and when she offended Snape. Why did she choose her despite so many Gryffindors?

"Bezoars in the goat's stomach have a detoxifying effect. Professor," Ada replied.

"As expected of Miss Know-It-All," Snape said, but his tone was somewhat mocking.The Slytherin students laughed loudly, while the little lions silently prayed to Merlin, hoping that the old man could protect Ada.

"So what materials do you need to prepare a potion to treat scabies?" Snape asked.

"Dried nettles, crushed snake fangs, boiled slugs with tentacles, and porcupine quills." Ada's tone became much stiffer.

"It seems that you have prepared well." Snape said, "Narcissus root powder, then add mugwort liquid..."

"Water of Life and Death, a very powerful sleeping pill! Professor!" Ada directly interrupted Snape's question and answered first.She was very unhappy now. Snape's repeated questions and his annoying tone made Ada unable to bear it anymore!

Snape, on the other hand, ignored the furious Ada at all and said calmly: "Answering and contradicting the teacher, Drizzt, Gryffindor will be deducted five points because of you."

Suddenly, Ada stood up and planned to have a good confrontation with Snape. She really couldn't stand this grievance!The worst possible outcome would be to be imprisoned. This is Hogwarts, and Snape can still kill her!

Snape stretched out a finger and pointed it downward, indicating that Ada had better sit down quickly.After that, he ignored Ada and turned back to the podium.

Fred and George quickly grabbed Ada and told her to sit down quickly and not to fight with Snape.The twin brothers didn't expect that the little girl, who usually seemed easy to get along with, would have such a bad temper!

"Write it all down yet!" Snape said while standing on the podium, and then he tapped the blackboard with his wand, and a simple potion configuration method for treatment immediately appeared on the blackboard.

"This is your content for today. Finish it before get out of class ends."
