Chapter 188 A chance to win the Academy Cup

The gamekeeper of Hogwarts possessed a fire dragon of unknown origin. This should have been something worthy of attention at this point in time, but what Harry, Ron, and Hermione thought of was that this would only bring trouble. The fire dragons were sent away to protect their friend Hagrid.

The origin of this fire dragon and the deep meaning hidden behind it did not attract the attention of the young trio. Ada's verbal reminder may make them pay more attention to this matter, or it may turn a deaf ear, but these are no longer important to Ada, and she does not intend to continue to participate.

Who was the person who lost Hagrid's fire dragon egg, why did he approach Hagrid, and when did Quirrell take action? These have nothing to do with Ada. Protecting the Philosopher's Stone was originally a test arranged by Dumbledore for Harry, not a game for Ada. She couldn't play however she wanted.

After leaving the school doctor's office, Ada went to the ancient rune classroom. When the class bell rang, she happened to step into the classroom. If she stayed in the school doctor's office for a while longer, she would be late.

Professor Babuling continued to talk about the content of the previous class and continued to translate an ancient manuscript. This manuscript records an ancient wizard's discussion of the origin of magic. The rune characters used are relatively simple, making it very suitable for beginners of ancient runes.

Ancient runes originated from the Norse and Germanic peoples and were once prevalent in Scandinavia and the British Isles. In addition to being used to write magical manuscripts, the runic letters themselves also have mysterious powers.

The magic world generally believes that the origin of modern magic also comes from Northern Europe. If you want to unlock the secret of the origin of magic, ancient runes cannot be circumvented at any cost. Ada is very interested in the origin of magic, and hopes that she can explore ancient powers through these mysterious characters, thereby improving her magical attainments.

Professor Babling has explained all the translated manuscripts to everyone. While everyone was sorting out their notes, Professor Babling also talked about Nordic mythology related to ancient runes. Frey, the god of fertility, prosperity, love, and peace, Haggar, the god of obstruction and difficulty, and Tyr, the god of war. These three gods were called "Eter" in ancient runes, and each Aite is a rune. A grouping of letters.

Professor Babling on the podium was still talking nonstop, but she went off track again, from ancient runes to Nordic mythology, and from Nordic mythology to the Ministry of Magic where corpses are a vegetarian. If no one reminded her, This topic will turn into another topic in five to ten minutes.

You can never be sure of the pulse of Professor Bathsheda Babling, so you have no way of guessing what her next topic will be with her out-of-the-box thinking. Maybe it’s the new product just released by the Tuofan clothing store, maybe it’s the talk of a rune scholar. The current situation may return to the courses she teaches.

However, the students in the classroom had no complaints about Professor Babuling's daily crookedness. Her complaints sounded very interesting, and often sounded more like telling a joke. It also made these children who have not yet grown up understand adults better. world.

Ada and Cedric next to her checked their notes with each other, and after confirming that they were correct, they concentrated on listening to Professor Babling's complaints. Ada doesn't need to understand the adult world, but she needs to understand the world of adult wizards. If nothing unexpected happens, she should consider her employment issue four years later.

"Why does she have so much to say in every class?" Cedric asked doubtfully, and then gave himself an answer, "It must be because she can't see many people and can't say anything."

While Cedric was correcting the mistakes in his notes with a quill, he continued: "You don't talk much usually. You won't be like her by then, right?"

"If you talk like this, how can the warblers around you tolerate you?" Ada asked. Now Cedric has gone further than Fred and George on the road of focusing on orphans. . He is handsome, good at studies, and his father is an official in the Ministry of Magic. He is good at everything but has a broken mouth.

"I don't treat you as an outsider...just be straightforward and ask whatever you want." Cedric said, "Don't change the subject, answer my questions quickly!"

"This is in class, did I say it or did the professor say it?" Ada asked, "And I talk a lot, but no matter how much people talk, they can't stop you from chatting to death."

Is Cedric really the topic stopper? Of course not. In addition to his handsome face, his personality and talkativeness are the reasons for his popularity. But in front of Ada, Cedric didn't want to rack his brains to talk and laugh. The two of them could just chat sincerely and discuss their studies. Why should they be so tired?

Before the get out of class was over, Professor Babling changed the subject again, but it was too late. As a result, the content of this class was not finished and had to be postponed to the next class.

Sure enough, no one with no faults can become a professor at Hogwarts. If you have no faults, you will be embarrassed to say hello to other professors when you go out.

After class, Ada and Cedric went to the auditorium together. When passing by the hourglass for scoring, Cedric said: "Congratulations, Ada."

"Congratulations for what?" Ada was a little confused as to what this sudden congratulation was.

"The scores of your house!" Cedric explained to Ada, "I didn't even notice that you have surpassed Slytherin by so many points. You are expected to win the House Cup this year!"

This year's Gryffindor has a veritable number of points, with nearly forty more rubies in the hourglass than the second-placed Slytherin. This school year ends in just over a month. As long as nothing goes wrong, Gryffindor has a good chance of winning the championship at this rate, and Gryffindor still has one Quidditch game to play!

"Everything is unpredictable. Don't forget that Slytherin and Professor Snape are here." Ada said humbly. She did not accept Cedric's poisonous milk, and it was poisoned so early.

"As long as you and Fred and George restrain themselves, this forty-point advantage will be enough for a long time." Cedric said.

Professors usually deduct points from one to five points, and deducting ten points is considered a big deal. Except for Snape, who deducted points like drinking water, the other professors deducted points to allow students to correct their mistakes. And it's the end of the term soon, and professors will be more cautious when deducting points. As long as they don't make big mistakes, this 40-point advantage is indeed enough.

Looking at the funnel full of red gems, Ada also felt that this year was indeed Gryffindor's opportunity. In the days to come, as long as the little lions are more careful in their studies and lives, and do not give Snape an opportunity to take advantage of them, this 40-point lead can be maintained. If you gain some extra points from other professors and expand your lead, you will naturally get the Academy Cup.

As long as the above two points are achieved, no matter how biased Snape is, he and his Slytherins will have no chance to turn defeat into victory, and the decoration of the auditorium can finally be changed.

Ada thought so, and so did the other Gryffindors. At the long Gryffindor table, the little lions were all having a heated discussion on how to consolidate the house's advantages. Among those discussing, two people kept their brows furrowed and their hearts full of worry.

These two people were Harry and Hermione (Ron was still in the school doctor's office). Hagrid and his fire dragon had been pressing in their hearts, and they would not feel at ease until Norbert was sent away. And this matter has been known to Malfoy of Slytherin, and Malfoy also knows that they will send Norbert away on Saturday.

When they thought of this, the two of them couldn't help but sigh, fearing that they would accidentally let down everyone's efforts for the whole school year.
