Hogwarts Emerald

In the evening, Ada was busy writing homework on the history of magic on her desk. The professors at Hogwarts always assigned many tasks to the students, especially during the holidays.

Whether it is a short Halloween holiday, or a slightly longer Christmas holiday or Easter holiday, students will receive a lot of homework, let alone a two-month summer vacation.

Before Ada came to the Burrow, the twins were pulling their hair and doing their homework. When Ada came here, they were like two nestlings waiting for food, eagerly looking forward to Ada. They could finally be freed from the heavy schoolwork and no longer had to waste their lives.

It's just that Ada has to go out to work during the day, so she doesn't do as much homework as the twins. Fred and George don't dare to disturb Ada at night, for fear that they will have nothing to learn from and have to grow their hair again.

While Ada was doing her homework, Ginny was sitting at the table. She was reading Ada's first-grade textbook. Instead of finding these things boring, Ginny read them with gusto.

Ada bought all the textbooks from a second-hand store at the beginning of school. Some are old, but there are no missing pages or blurred areas, and Ada uses books carefully, so these textbooks are in good condition.

Ada has a habit of taking notes in books. She will write down everything the professors teach in class or what she thinks of herself. This habit makes the content of Ada's books richer, which is the accumulation of student masters. These notes can also help Ginny better understand the knowledge in the textbooks.

What did you do at home during the day? Ada asked casually while recalling the goblin war.

Ginny, who was flipping through the book, replied: My brothers were playing Quidditch in the morning. They didn't take me to play, so I could only watch from the side.

Her tone of voice was a little disappointed. The Weasley boys never took her to play Quidditch. She also liked this sport very much. There was also a Quidditch game from the Holyhead Harpies hanging on the wall of the room. Strange poster.

It doesn't matter if you don't take me with you. I can play secretly by myself. I've been secretly riding their broomsticks since I was six years old. Ginny whispered, And no one of them noticed.

Ada looked at Ginny with some surprise. Stealing the broomstick showed Ginny's determination, and not being discovered showed her ability to act. Does this girl want to work hard secretly and then surprise everyone?

Then practice hard, and when the academy team is selected, you can slap these stinky brothers of yours in the face. Ada said with a smile, Let's see if they dare to play without you in the future!

Yeah! That's what I thought too! Ginny nodded heavily. She had planned this since the first day her brothers didn't take her to play Quidditch.

There are seven children in the Weasley family, and the Quidditch team requires exactly seven players. The Weasleys have given birth to a Quidditch team!

If both Ron and Ginny were able to enter Gryffindor and join the team, would every position on the Gryffindor Quidditch team be filled by a Weasley child?

After school starts, Fred and George will participate in the Quidditch trials. Ginny, you have to work hard too!

Well, I will definitely join the team in the future. My dream is to be a professional Quidditch player. Ginny expressed her determination again.

Ada continued to do her homework, while Ginny continued to read. If she didn't understand something, she would ask Ada. The two of them just talked in the cabin until late at night before they fell asleep. .

Ada lived a very happy life at the Burrow. She set off to Diagon Alley during the day and returned to the Burrow from there after work. In the evening, I would do my homework at home, chat with the twins, and play with Ginny for a while before going to bed. Every day was fully scheduled.

Day after day, the entire month of July passed in a flash, and Ada also received her salary, which totaled thirty gold galleons from the two jobs. The salary at Flourish and Blotts is the same as that at the Leaky Cauldron, but Ada spends much more time in the bookstore than in the bar.

Flourish and Blott Bookstore hired several new assistants at the end of July, and there was no shortage of staff. In addition, Ada really didn't want to compete with owls every day, so she simply quit her job in the bookstore.

It’s the first week of August and we’re all sitting in the kitchen. Ada only has a bar job now. She only needs to arrive at the bar at ten o'clock. Now she doesn't have to get up so early and can have breakfast with everyone.

The letter from Hogwarts was also delivered by an owl at this time. The envelope was made of yellow parchment and the words on it were green. The school seems to like the color green very much. Both admission letters and notification letters are written in green ink.

School starts on September 1st, and you still take the Hogwarts Express from King's Cross Station to school. The letter also lists the new books to be used this year and the items that need to be prepared.

Ron and Ginny, who did not receive the letter, could only look at their brothers and sisters with envy. Ada naturally noticed the expression on Ginny's face next to her, so she deliberately placed her letter very low so that Ginny could also see it.

As for Ron, he was beyond reach and helpless, and George was not as considerate as Ada.

Ada, do you know who the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is this year? Fred asked Ada across from him. Working in the Leaky Cauldron, I am always better informed, and Ada usually shares some interesting stories from the bar with everyone.

I don't know, I met Hagrid in the bar, but he didn't know who Dumbledore invited. Ada said, Hagrid only heard a few rumors. The new professor should be Dumbledore. An old friend of Lido.

Dumbledore's friends, wouldn't they be very old? George leaned back and said listlessly, Older people are usually very rigid and boring in class.

You can't say that. Professor Flitwick and Professor McGonagall are not too young, but their classes are still quite interesting. Charlie rejected Fred's point of view.

I have never felt that any course is boring. Since the course is offered, it must be meaningful. If professors can serve at Hogwarts, they must have their own unique insights on this subject... Percy lectured his twin brother with a serious face.

The twins curled their lips indifferently and didn't even listen to what Percy said. Ron and Ginny didn't pay attention to what their third brother said. In this family, Percy was the one who spoke the least forcefully.

If it's really an old professor, I'm worried about whether he can survive this year. Ada gave her letter to Ginny and asked her to play with it.

Ada's words made everyone sweat over the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor who they had never met before. All the tragedies of the previous school year were still vivid in their minds, and new victims were about to be ushered in. This was really not true. What everyone wants to see.

The position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is like the challenger at Hogwarts, facing challengers one after another. No matter whether these challengers are young or old, this champion will knock them down with a stick without hesitation, and then shake off the dust on his body and wait for the next contestant.

Fortunately, we don't have a lot to buy this year. Charlie changed the topic, not to have such a heavy conversation so early in the morning. He had just read Percy's and Fred's letters respectively, and there was nothing else he needed to buy except books.

The twins' heights haven't changed much from last year, and they can still hold on to last year's old robes. Charlie doesn't need it either, he hasn't grown any bigger this year. This year it is enough to buy new robes for Percy who has grown a little too much, which also greatly reduces the pressure on the Weasleys.

Ada also needs to buy a new school robe. She has grown a lot this year. The length reserved when buying the robe last year is no longer enough. By the way, she can also choose some nice-looking clothes.

In fact, Ada wanted to buy the twins' things together. She still had a lot of gold galleons that she exchanged last year, and she also had a lot of salary during the summer vacation. Plus there were gold coins in the small leather bag, so she didn't think so for the time being. Short of money.

But the twins directly rejected her proposal. If Mrs. Weasley hadn't allowed it, they would have wanted to work with Ada. They can't ask for Ada's money, that's not what friends do, and as for the broomstick, it's just a joke and no one will take it seriously.

The twins are short of money, but they have their own persistence and bottom line. They have never done anything for Ada when they were friends with her.
