The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 208: Inventory and Dumbledore’s tactics

In the silver-green auditorium, Slytherin became more confident again. They swept away the dejection of the previous few days and took charge again.Especially when they talk loudly about the Academy Cup, their eyes will always drift in the direction of Granville. A month ago, they were suppressed by their mortal enemies, but now they will defend their title again.

Unlike when they won the Quidditch Cup, and unlike the arrogant Slytherins, the Gryffindor's long table was surprisingly quiet, and the twins sat beside Ada honestly, unable to tell even the most basic jokes.

A little over a month ago, they were number one, and a little over a month later, they were number four. This ranking sounded good, but it was a pity that there were only four colleges, and Grandmaster once again took the last place.

The little lions didn't dare to raise their heads, and they chose to remain silent in the face of the ridicule of their mortal enemies. If they were not strong-willed, they would not win this quarrel.

The atmosphere in Lord Gryffindor froze, and Harry, Hermione, and Neville lowered their heads. Although everyone had forgiven them, they could not forgive themselves.

If they weren't careful enough, how could the academy end up like this?If they hadn't lost 150 points, how could the college have had internal strife and then lost a bunch of points?

The classmates around her all had slumped faces, but Ada was not affected by being ranked last. She pretended to look at the unfinished magazine, but in fact she was looking at the system's inventory.

Ada had been gifted with new gifts at the end of the previous two school years, and she wondered if that would be the case this year.

The system's inventory interface slowly appeared in front of Ada's eyes, which read:

Name: Esmeralda Drizzt

Age: 15 years old

Height: five feet five inches (approximately 165.1 cm, one day the host will grow into a stick insect)

Weight: 97 pounds (approximately 44 kilograms, the host will quietly gain weight and then crush everyone)

Wand: yew, phoenix feather, ten and three-quarter inches (The host has disgraced this combination, does the host know?)

Occupation: Hogwarts student (third year), waiter at the Leaky Cauldron (part-time), preparatory member of the Witch Cult (Nurmengaard-limited title)

Seeing this newly added profession, Ada wanted to throw a question mark in the face of the system.What is a preliminary member of Wu Cui?What is Nurmengard Limitation?I just agree with the phrase "for the greater good". How come I have become a reserve member of this reactionary organization?

Furthermore, Ada does not fully agree with Grindelwald's views, and Grindelwald has ridiculed her own views as childish and weak more than once. There is no agreement between the two.

Although Grindelwald and his followers are very capable, Ada doesn't want to be one of them. Does this broken system mean that she doesn't die quickly enough?

Professor Dumbledore, Mr. Headmaster, please listen to my quibbles... No, please listen to my explanation...

Fortunately, nothing went wrong in the following subjects that she was good at. As for the new and bright black magic, Ada chose to ignore it.She has never used dark magic. She is "Dumbledore's person through and through." How could she be good at dark magic?The system must have made a mistake and made an own mistake.

Like last year, Ada also received two new talents this year, one is the flying talent and the other is the curse affinity.

Flying talent does not refer to flying broomsticks or flying carpets. Ada prefers to call it "flying spell" because this new talent allows Ada to fly without the help of any flying tools, but with her own magic power. flight.

It looks good and powerful, but it is just a pie drawn by the system.

Almost all books about Quidditch or broomsticks will mention this sentence: So far, wizards have not invented any spells that allow them to fly in human form without the use of tools.

From this sentence, we can see how difficult it is to fly with your own magic power. Didn't you see that Dumbledore was traveling by phoenix or apparation?

With Ada's current ability, even if she successfully breaks away from gravity, Ada would prefer to be called "floating" or "gliding" rather than flying.

And in terms of speed, she is probably far inferior to a flying broomstick at this stage. If put in actual combat, she would be no different from a living target.This talent gives a possibility, rather than an immediate improvement in combat power. Maybe one day Ada can introduce it to the system: the sky is the limit.

The flying talent is not very helpful to Ada at this stage, but the curse affinity is a great improvement to Ada's immediate combat ability.

Charms are roughly divided into seven categories: ordinary charms, transfiguration, jinxes, poison spells, curses, countercurses, and healing charms.Among them, the total amount is the largest, and the most commonly used in daily life are ordinary magic spells.

Evil curses and poisonous curses are both classified into the category of black magic in a broad sense. However, evil curses and poisonous curses are not as evil and destructive as curses. They can also be lifted by counter-curses or transfer spells.

Ordinary wizards will also use these two spells in some situations, such as the obstacle spell in evil curses and the bat spirit spell in poison spells.

Curse, no matter from which point of view, it belongs to black magic, and it can bring extreme pain and harm to the cursed person, and even death.

Among the known curses, the Unforgivable Curse is the three most evil curses, and is also the favorite of many dark wizards, such as Voldemort, who just escaped from Hogwarts, and his subordinates.

In Ada's opinion, this is just another way of saying affinity with dark magic. It may be due to a subconscious change in views on dark magic, or it may be due to contact with top dark wizards (Grindelwald, Voldemort). This new talent will be born.

Curse affinity can help Ada learn and master curses faster. There is no need to be driven by strong negative emotions when casting curses, and the impact of casting curses on Ada can be reduced.

This means that Ada can cast curses as she pleases without having to mobilize her own negative emotions or worry that she will become a psychopath.

When Ada was still unable to ignore the negative effects of black magic like Grindelwald, the emergence of this talent brought more possibilities to her battles.

If you use the Unforgivable Curse without any burden, Death Eaters will laugh out of their dreams.

Professor Dumbledore, Mr. Headmaster, forget it, no more explanation, just do as you like!

After reading this year's evaluation, Ada felt that she could describe herself as stepping on two boats.Whether she wants to be a positive person or a dark wizard, it all depends on her. Of course, she can also be good or evil. The key is to see how she wants to go, not how others tell her to go.

At the teacher's desk, Dumbledore stood up and began his end-of-term speech.Every Slytherin student raised his head and smiled, because Dumbledore's speech represented the announcement of the House Cup, which they had won for seven consecutive years.

No matter what method they use to achieve such an achievement, seven consecutive years is enough for Slytherin to be proud of.

"Yes, yes, well done, Slytherin," said Dumbledore, "but a few recent events must also be taken into account."

After Dumbledore's words fell, the auditorium instantly became very quiet. The smiles of the Slytherins also faded a lot, and the air exuded a dangerous smell.

"I have some final points to distribute, let me see. First, Mr. Ron Weasley, who won the best game of chess at Hogwarts in many years, for which I award Gryffindor House fifty points."

Ron's face suddenly turned red, like a carrot dried by the sun.Percy once again disregarded his image as a prefect and loudly told everyone around him: "It's my brother, you know it! My youngest brother!"

When the noisy auditorium finally calmed down, Dumbledore continued to announce: "Second, Miss Hermione Granger, who faced the fire and calmly conducted logical reasoning, I want to award Gryffindor House fifty point."

Hermione buried her face in her arms. Unlike Harry, she was just a smarter witch. She lost fifty points and caused the academy to withdraw from the competition for the Academy Cup. This was a lot of pressure for her.

"Third, Harry Potter, he showed fearless courage and extraordinary courage. For this, I would also like to award Gryffindor House sixty points." Dumbledore continued.

The deafening noise rang out in the Great Hall again, and Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw all realized what was about to happen.

"Fourth, there are many types of courage," Dumbledore smiled. "We need superhuman courage to deal with our enemies, and it also takes a lot of courage to stand up for ourselves in front of our friends. Therefore, I want to reward Neville. ·Ten points, Mr. Longbottom.”

Neville's face turned pale with surprise. He had never won a point for Gryffindor. The crowd cheering around him at this moment made the little crybaby a little overwhelmed.

The Slytherins who were so arrogant just now lowered their arrogant heads. Although they didn't want to admit it, their score was almost overtaken by Gryffindor. They didn't think that Dumbledore would increase his score at this time. Points are just to comfort the losers.

"There is another classmate who is burdened with everyone's misunderstandings and doubts, but still chooses to stand up in times of crisis. Her kindness, her courage, and her choices are all as amazing as her magic!"

Dumbledore said slowly, "Esmeralda Drizzt, therefore, I would like to award Gryffindor sixty points,"

The twins rubbed Ada's hair and messed up her long, silky hair.Ada saw Professor McGonagall applauding her, saw the short Professor Flitwick standing on the table, and even the always honest Professor Sprout winked at her.

Ada didn't think about whether this was Dumbledore's new trick. At this moment, she just wanted to have a good drink.

"Finally, Fred Weasley and George Weasley, the two Mr. Weasleys we are familiar with. Yes, they are always breaking school rules and always being naughty, but they are the most beautiful people in the world. Good friends." Dumbledore said with a smile. "When their friends need them most, they will never leave them, regardless of their efforts or rewards. Therefore, I will give Gryffindor another twenty points. "

The twins looked at each other in confusion. They actually got extra points. Did they hear correctly?

Looking at Percy applauding vigorously and the prefect badge shining on his chest, Fred and George suddenly felt that they should work harder next semester, otherwise they would have to follow Percy's lead.

The auditorium once again recalled the thunderous cheers and cheers. Everyone was celebrating Slytherin's sudden defeat. No one cared about Slytherin's psychological shadow. At this moment, the students just wanted to celebrate the fall of the Demon King.

Slytherin's lead of more than 200 points was wiped out in an instant, and the Gryffindor became Gryffindor again.Dumbledore was like a god descending to earth, defeating the "evil" Slytherin and saving Gryffindor from danger.

Snape's face at the teacher's desk was as ugly as if he had eaten a dead fly. He was still too young. In terms of favoritism, he was not even considered a younger brother in front of Dumbledore. He was not good enough at all.

Dumbledore used practical actions to prove to Snape that old age is still hotter!

"That means we need to make some small changes to the decor here."

Dumbledore clapped his hands, and immediately, the green hanging ribbons turned into bright red, and the silver ones turned into gold; the huge Slytherin snake disappeared, replaced by a majestic Gryffindor lion.

The Slytherin table was dead, it was a bad night for them.The Gryffindor table was even more lively than New Year's Eve. For them, the whole school year seemed better because of tonight.
