Chapter 410 Professor McGonagall’s hint

"Surprised to hear the bad news." Ada slumped down in the armchair. She had just been forced to recall what she had done last night. Now she was going to see Professor McGonagall. No matter how she thought about it, there was no return. .

The news from Clark was like a bolt from the blue. Ada, who has regained her sense of shame, has already seen her end a few minutes later, which must be very miserable.

In the "farewell" eyes of everyone, Ada, who was under "hospice care", left the common room with heavy steps. Ada asked her soul more than once, why is the distance from Gryffindor Tower to Professor McGonagall's office so close?

Standing at the door of the office, Ada smoothed the wrinkles on her robe and arranged her hair before knocking on the wooden door of the office.

We can't leave any clues at this time. Professor McGonagall's ability to use excuses is also extraordinary. Ada has suffered a lot in recent years.

Although there is no such thing as "Why don't you wear a hat?" or "Who told you to wear a hat?", Professor McGonagall's eyes are equally good at spotting problems...

Forget it, let’s not mention it, it’s just tears...

"Come in."

Professor McGonagall's voice came from the office, and it didn't sound like there was any emotional ups and downs. Ada silently prayed that calling her here today was for business and not because of last night's crazy behavior.

When she opened the door, she saw Professor McGonagall writing at her desk. Ada said softly: "Professor, Clark said you were looking for me."

"Who told you to sit down? Stand up!" Professor McGonagall said. She raised her eyes and looked at Ada. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes last night, she really wouldn't be able to equate Ada with the crazy girl on the dance floor.

As soon as she entered the door, she felt a show of disdain. Ada immediately jumped up from the small stool, thinking quickly in her mind about what she should do, and how she should quibble later.

"I would like to inform all the prefects to ask the students in their respective colleges to restrain themselves and not express their feelings so actively. This is a school, so we must pay attention to propriety and scale." Professor McGonagall said.

Puppy love is not a problem, and it does not exist at Hogwarts. It is just that this is a school after all, and there is no need for in-depth communication. It was obvious that Professor McGonagall didn't want the students to cause too much trouble.

"Understood, I will inform all the prefects immediately after I return." Ada replied seriously. It seems that I was too involved last night and missed a lot.

Then Professor McGonagall conveyed a few more orders, such as paying attention to students' disciplinary violations, paying attention to the students' behavior, and seeing if anyone was jealous. It was all official business.

Although Professor McGonagall mentioned all business matters, Ada did not relax at all. Professor McGonagall always kept a clear distinction between public and private matters. After she finished talking about official matters, it was time to talk about private matters.

But things did not develop as Ada expected. After arranging her work after the vacation, Professor McGonagall did not settle her accounts.

It is true that Professor McGonagall is a very serious person, but she is not stubborn or stubborn. Professor McGonagall has never objected to Ada relaxing appropriately, but last night Ada relaxed a little too much.

"The second project will start on February 24th," Professor McGonagall asked, "How are you prepared?"

Ever since Harry opened the golden egg that night in the common room, Ada had thrown it into a corner to collect ashes. A month passed, and Ada never once looked at the golden egg.

The golden egg wasn't the key to the second project; the sharp, piercing sound was the real clue.

Opening the golden egg along the cracks will only hurt your eardrums. It is obvious that you are opening it in the wrong way, or that you are opening the golden egg in the wrong place.

Before she found the correct way to open it, Ada had no interest in the golden egg at all. She had no hobby of abusing her ears.

"I haven't solved the mystery of the golden egg yet," Ada said, "so I'm not prepared at all."

Professor McGonagall was very angry when she heard this. She said: "It has been a month since the first project ended, and it has been a month since we got the golden egg. Now you are telling me that you are not prepared at all?"

Ada didn't make any excuses for herself, didn't say that she was helping to decorate the castle, or that she was preparing for the ball. If you are slacking off, you are slacking off. Ada herself is really not interested enough in the Triwizard Tournament.

"You are not researching what you should be researching, and you are blindly researching what you shouldn't be researching!" Professor McGonagall scolded, "You should spend the time pondering dance moves on researching the golden egg. By now you will have obtained the second project. Got a clue!"

Professor McGonagall was angry at Ada's behavior.

A lion fights a rabbit with all his strength. Even if there is a big gap in strength between Ada and the other three players, she should treat the game with her heart instead of being perfunctory like she is now.

"I was wrong." Ada admitted her mistake immediately, and her attitude of admitting her mistake was very sincere.

"Stop doing this!" Professor McGonagall said, "I have been like this since I was a child. As soon as I say a few words to you, I will immediately put on this look of actively admitting my mistakes and being unrepentant. Don't show me this look! "

"I will definitely change this time, really." Ada promised, patting her chest. "I have deeply realized my mistakes. I should not be so perfunctory, nor should I not take my opponent seriously..."

The following review omits 1,500 words...

The trick is not old, but easy to use. As long as you admit your mistakes proactively and sincerely, Professor McGonagall usually won't say too much. Of course, if Professor McGonagall catches you making the same mistake in the future, it is recommended that you kill yourself directly.

Professor McGonagall did not continue to criticize. The child was getting older and was no longer easy to manage. If you talk too deeply, you're worried about hurting her self-esteem, if you talk too lightly, you're afraid that it won't be effective.

Professor McGonagall's worries were somewhat unnecessary. Facing her own people, Ada had always been as thick-skinned as a city wall.

After a while, Professor McGonagall sighed and said: "Forget it, you have heard enough of some words, and I am tired of them. You should think about the competition yourself."

After saying that, Professor McGonagall asked Ada to go back first.

However, Professor McGonagall was always soft-spoken and somewhat worried. She stopped Ada who was about to walk out the door. Professor McGonagall asked: "Do you know what the media of sound are?"

"I know." Ada replied, "The air..."

Professor McGonagall waved her hand to stop Ada, and she said: "Go, go back and think about what I said."

Although one of the traditions of the Triwizard Tournament is cheating, Professor McGonagall dislikes this tradition. This was also the reason why she neither helped Ada nor Harry before the first project.

Ada didn't solve the mystery, and Harry certainly didn't either. Judging from the relationship between two people, as long as one of them finds a clue, the other will soon know it.

There are less than two months left before the second competition event. We must not only find clues and clarify the content of the second event, but also find a response plan. Time is somewhat tight.

There was no other way, Professor McGonagall had no choice but to go against her own wishes. Although she could have just told Ada the correct answer, she chose not to.

On the way back to Gryffindor, Ada kept thinking about the question raised by Professor McGonagall. For questions that have nothing to do with the content of the conversation, even the weakest person can understand what Professor McGonagall means.

The medium of sound transmission is the idea of ​​​​solving the problem, which is the help given to him by Professor McGonagall.

Sound is a sound wave generated by the vibration of an object, propagates through a medium, and can be sensed by the hearing organs of humans or animals. There are many media that can transmit sound, which can generally be divided into solid, liquid and gas.

On the night when the first project ended, Harry opened the golden egg, and the ghost-like howl filled everyone's ears, and no one could understand the meaning of the sound.

Now, Professor McGonagall asked about the propagation of sound. Obviously, Professor McGonagall was implying that if you want to understand what the golden egg "said", you need to find a suitable transmission method.

Gas won't work, that's proven to be the wrong way to open it. Do you want to be like the deaf Beethoven, holding a tuning fork and using bone conduction?

Ada imagined for a moment that she was holding one end of the tuning fork in her mouth, and the other end of the tuning fork was pressed against the golden egg. This scene was so beautiful.
