Chapter 111 Constellations and Elective Courses

April Fools' Day, April Fool's Day, is a day full of significance. The Weasley twins Fred and George, the great gods of mischief, celebrate their thirteenth birthdays. Of course, the "great gods of mischief" are Stinky. The two brothers with faces are self-proclaimed, and Ada will not agree with it.

There are some aspects of twins that are very consistent with the characteristics of Aries people. They are very creative, regard rules as nothing, and like to live an unrestrained life. Although their pranks can sometimes be annoying, the two brothers will also warm others from time to time.

Aries is the first constellation of the zodiac and spring. Although the cold spring is harsh, it is a season when all things grow and are full of vitality. The same is true for Fred and George. The two brothers are always full of energy and have a great interest in discovery and exploration. For this reason, the castle and the Forbidden Forest often suffer from their vicious hands.

From this point of view, the zodiac sign seems to be quite accurate, but it doesn't make sense at all when it comes to Ada. Libras born in autumn are usually amiable, easy-going and docile, but these two words have nothing to do with Ada or Coppernut.

If someone thinks Ada is affable, Ada doesn't mind letting people know what "affability" means. This is something Avery, Flint, and Toller know all too well.

Being easy-going and meek is even more nonsense. Ada is very polite when dealing with others, but her politeness always has a strong sense of alienation. If you want to make friends with Ada, the first thing is to be thick-skinned, and then you can Continue to the next step.

Moreover, Ada has always had a bad temper. Of all the Gryffindor students, Professor McGonagall was most worried about Ada. Although the twins were constantly being deducted points and violating school rules, they were always on the same page. That was not the case with Ada. Professor McGonagall was afraid that one day Ada would make big news for her and deduct dozens of points or something.

Fred and George's birthday this year was not like last year. They just got together with a few family members and friends to say a few words of blessing and shared the cake sent by Mrs. Weasley.

A few days after the twins' birthdays, it was the Easter holiday, and the house elves also prepared an Easter dinner for the dinner, including ham, roast lamb, pancakes, and eggs made of chocolate.

A group of wizards not only celebrate Christmas, but also celebrate Easter. Do you think it’s strange? In the Middle Ages, how many wizards were burned to death in the name of this old man, but now a group of wizards are making more noise on his birthday and resurrection than the Muggles!

It’s not like Ada hasn’t thought about the reasons. For example, everyone used to not celebrate these festivals, but suddenly one day, under the guidance of someone, everyone discovered that celebrating festivals is a very interesting thing.

So the wizards were divided into two groups, one group celebrated the festival, and the other group followed the old rules and did not celebrate Muggle festivals. Then the wizards who did not celebrate the festivals did not succeed in continuing the bloodline, and only the wizards who celebrated the festivals were left.

Of course, there is another theory: Muggles are busy celebrating during these two festivals and have no time to hold witch hunts. Wizards will not be persecuted by Muggles during the festivals. Over time, these two festivals were accepted by wizards and became part of wizard culture, and they began to celebrate these two festivals.

Compared with Ada's own malicious speculation, the latter statement is obviously more reasonable and convincing. The latter statement is based on some content in the history of magic, while Ada's speculation is completely based on nothing.

In the Twilight Cabin, the twins were working on small inventions. They replaced part of the structure of the Libre Fireworks with something they made themselves, and tried to ignite the newly pieced together fireworks.

Ada was sitting in an armchair by the window, the afternoon sun shining warmly on her body, and she was fiddling with the elective course schedule in her hand. Second-year students need to select elective courses for their third-year students during the Easter holiday. After the holiday, they must submit them to the school so that the school can schedule the students' courses.

Ancient Runes, Arithmetic Divination, Care of Magical Creatures, Divination, and Muggle Studies. Among these courses, Ada needs to choose at least two courses. Of course, if you really have enough time, You can also select them all.

Ancient Runes is a theoretical course that mainly studies the magic manuscripts of ancient Runes. Ada must take this course.

Many magic manuscripts are written in ancient runes. Ada hopes that through her own study, she can find some powerful magic from these manuscripts, and at the same time, she can also figure out what the inscriptions on the rings mean.

Among the remaining courses, Ada actually didn’t want to choose any of them. Muggle Studies is a course that has nothing to do with magic. It mainly studies the culture, history and development of Muggles. Does Ada still need to learn this stuff?

If you don’t choose, choosing is a waste of time and a slow suicide!

The Care of Magical Creatures course sounds interesting, but the shadow Hagrid casts on Ada is too great. Although it is Graplan who teaches this course, I think the two of them still have a lot in common and they should both like it. Magical creatures.

Every time I go to class, I get along with a group of "furry little cuties". The scene makes me shudder when I think about it. Ada doesn't want to know where the magical creatures are, she just wants to know if the magical creatures are in the pot! Ada's soul comes from a nation that can use "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" as a recipe.

The last two are related to divination. Both wizards and Muggles have many similarities. As long as they are human beings, they all have a strong obsession with predicting the future. This is the human instinct to seek good fortune and avoid disaster.

The Divination class is taught by Sybill Trelawney, who spends her days drinking in the attic of Hogwarts. She looks more like a crazy liar than the famous seer Cassandra. Trelawney's great-great-granddaughter.

Many senior students also dislike this professor who smells of sherry. Can such a crazy and unreliable teacher really teach such a mysterious course?

Different from crystal ball reading, tea leaves or palmistry classes, arithmetic divination is a discipline based on a series of rules and rigorous mathematical operations, which reminded Ada of the people who set up stalls in the squares to measure characters in her previous life.

It sounds like arithmetic divination uses science to make predictions, a bit like numerology, but Ada still feels that arithmetic divination is more like a folk science, and the teacher who teaches this course also looks like a folk scientist.

"Fred, George, what electives did you choose?" Ada, who had difficulty choosing, had no choice but to seek help from the sidelines. She asked the two little "blacks".

"Ahem, protect magical creatures and divination class." Fred wiped the black ash on his face and said, struggling to pull out the doctor's fireworks and turning them into squibs, but still sprayed ash on the faces of the two brothers.

Ada took out her wand, cast a "Clean Up" on the two of them and their location, and then used a "Disappearance Curse" to clean up the remains of Dr. Felibard's fireworks.

"I heard that the homework for the Divination class can be completed as long as you can make it up, and the Care of Magical Creatures class is the only elective class that is taught outdoors." George told the reason why the two chose these two courses.

"What did you choose?"

"Ancient runes," Ada said. "The remaining one was not thought through."

"Then just choose the same one as us, why bother?" George said in confusion.

Fred walked directly to Ada, picked up Ada's elective course schedule, and immediately told her to choose the courses, and then returned the schedule to Ada.

Taking the timetable, Fred had written down both the Divination and Care of Magical Creatures classes, in addition to ancient runes. Apparently she only needed to choose two elective courses, but now she had three. As a result, Ada lost a lot of free time.

I don’t know if it’s too late for Ada to go to Professor McGonagall to change her class schedule now...
