Chapter 154 Why was the chapter named in the first place?

It was better to come early than to come late. Just as Ada was about to doze off, Dumbledore handed over a pillow. Ada came up with the plan to practice silent spellcasting at the end of last semester. Dumbledore sent this note as soon as this semester started, which can be said to be quite timely.

Silent spell casting, also known as silent spell, refers to reciting the spell silently when using the spell. In this way, the opponent does not know what magic you intend to cast, thus giving you a momentary advantage. This is the "Standard Spell Level 6" on the opponent's spell. Records of silent spells.

This is why Ada wants to practice silent spellcasting, but mastering silent spells is very difficult and requires extremely strong willpower and concentration. In addition, one thing to note is that the silent spell will reduce the effectiveness of the spell, and the amount of reduction varies from person to person.

Although the damage will be reduced, Ada believes that practicing silent spells is still worthwhile, especially for sneak attacks and undermining people, which is perfect. If you want to be a "Voldemort" in the true sense, the Silent Curse is your best choice.

After getting the notes, Ada could not stay in the office because Professor McGonagall drove her back directly. It was getting late, and Professor McGonagall asked her to go back to bed as soon as possible and not to wander around outside, especially not to go to the corridor on the right of the fourth floor.

In the common room, the twins were waiting for Ada to return, and they told her the results of their reconnaissance.

Fred and George didn't find anything special in the corridor on the right side of the fourth floor. There was only dust and cobwebs all over the floor. Except for a locked door, it didn't look like a restricted area at all.

As I said before, ordinary door locks in the magic world have always been designed to protect against gentlemen but not villains, and the one used to lock this door is the most common kind of door lock, which is infinitely close to a decoration, a little restricted area card. nothing.

Such a door lock cannot stop people who want to enter, and Dumbledore's "no entry" sentence cannot stop the students' enthusiasm. This so-called restricted area can be said to be undefended. It's like standing upstairs holding a handkerchief and waving to people, shouting: Come and play!

Ada thought there must be a secret inside the door, otherwise how could Dumbledore dare to put "danger" in the castle in such a grand manner. There is no room for others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed, let alone being separated from "danger" by only one door?

The three people discussed quietly and decided to go in and visit next week to see what was hidden inside.

On Thursday, it was Quirrell's Defense Against the Dark Arts class again. It had been four days since school started, and students of all grades had experienced his torment. After another class of Defense Against the Dark Arts, the third year Gryffindor's last hope for Quirrell was dashed.

Quirrell was not excited because he became a professor of the subject, nor was he performing abnormally because of nervousness. He was just a simple person, and there was no other reason.

The only reason for this class to continue to exist is the mutual torture between teachers and students. Quirrell tortures the students with his "incompetence" and feeds the students, but the students don't have to do anything. They just need to go to class on time. Quirrell's greatest torture.

Judging from Quirrell's teaching level, it is still very easy to get a teaching position at Hogwarts. Ada thinks she can take up her position. Anyway, Quirrell is at the bottom. No matter how bad she is, can she still be worse than Quirrell?

Thursday afternoon was the elective ancient runes. Ada originally thought that Professor Bathsheda Barbling would be an old professor, but Professor Barbling turned out to be unexpectedly young. He was only 20 or 30 years old when he went up.

Ancient Runes is mainly a theoretical course. Studying ancient Runes manuscripts is very similar to Muggles studying ancient writings such as Oracle. The teacher is so young, which makes Ada feel a little dissatisfied with this professor. distrust.

After all, with Quirinus Quirrell as his "beautiful leader", Ada could be forgiven for not trusting the equally young Bathsheda Barbling.

It was under such a distrustful situation that the ancient rune class began. Professor Babling used her strength to successfully slap Ada in the face and told Ada what it means to not look at a person's appearance.

Although Professor Babuling is young, she does have real qualities. She is not just doing it like Quirrell. Professor Babuling has published many papers on ancient runes. Her achievements have surpassed many seniors. She came to the school to teach in order to better study ancient runes.

Professor Babuling's course arrangement is also very reasonable. She first explained the meaning and purpose of this course to let everyone understand what runes are. Then he led everyone to learn some of the simplest characters, some of which were like reading pictures in childhood.

The students in the classroom are mainly Ravenclaws. There are not as many students as Ravenclaws from the other three houses combined. Ada also met an acquaintance, that is Cedric Diggory of Hufflepuff. .

After one class, everyone had a relatively clear understanding of ancient runes, and they all recognized the young Professor Babuling. Of course, if you have to find faults, Professor Babling can still find some shortcomings.

No one expected that the knowledgeable Professor Babuling would turn out to be a talker. She might have been studying runes alone for too long. The appearance of the student made her see a living person again, and she felt particularly friendly.

As if she had not spoken for several lifetimes, Professor Babling kept spouting nonsense after nonsense. The words were so secretive that no one else could get in the middle of the conversation. It was entirely her own performance.

Professor Babling can talk to you about everything from ancient runes to family troubles, from ancient and powerful magic to the bad food at noon, from academic research to which newspaper is better.

The nagging Professor Babling also has many complaints about the school. She believes that ancient runes should be made compulsory and every student should master this ancient language; she feels that the existing education system is undesirable, and magic The Ministry should introduce a new education policy as soon as possible; she also disliked the fact that Dumbledore's salary was too small, which was not enough to buy her new clothes.

When Professor Babling criticized the school for being useless, Cedric secretly said to Ada: "She hides in the office every day translating ancient runes. Why does she need so many new clothes?"

Ada ignored Cedric's straight statement. She was more interested in another thing that Professor Babbling mentioned, that is, Professor Babbling once admired Quirrell.

Of course, Professor Babling did not admire the stumbling Quirrell. No one would worship the current Quirrell except the deaf and blind. Professor Babling admired Quirrell when he was in school. In her words, when he was young, Quirrell was a smart and active person, and a very talented senior.

Professor Babling is also very sorry that Quirrell has become like this. She really couldn't understand what kind of changes could cause such a huge change in a person. Except for that face, everything was different from before.

Hearing Quirrell's name, some students were indifferent and lowered their heads to organize their notes; some students' gossip souls were burning, wondering whether the two were childhood sweethearts; some were speculating on what happened to Quirrell. What.

Cause and effect, only by knowing the cause can we speculate on the effect. Only by knowing the secrets of Quirrell, can Ada know what he wants to do, and also know whether she should be prepared to deal with it, or should hold the small hand. Watching the show from the bench.
