The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 113: Battle to Protect the Buttocks

As soon as the Easter holiday was over, Ada handed in her elective course list. Professor McGonagall didn't say much about the fact that Ada only chose three elective courses. She even wanted to cross out Ada's divination class. She didn't like this vague course.

Many top students in the school chose more elective courses than Ada, such as Cedric Diggory. The Weasley family's eldest son Bill Weasley and Percy, both of them chose all the courses.

Bill was not only the president of the male student union, but also obtained 12 certificates in the exams. This is not something that can be described as excellent. There are not many people in the entire Hogwarts who can accomplish such a feat.

Ada, who was also regarded as a "top student", only chose three courses, which was a bit stingy. Even if Ada finally got all the exam certificates, it would only be ten courses, which was nothing compared to those who got 12 certificates.

With the end of the elective courses, Hogwarts became busy. There was less gossip in the professors' classes, and they were all racing against time to impart knowledge to the students.

Filch no longer had to worry about managing the breaks, as there were almost no students running and playing in the corridors. With only a little over a month left before the final exams, no one wanted to take home a report card with a "P" on it.

Even Fred and George have become much more obedient. They were so arrogant last summer, and if their grades are too bad this year, I believe Mrs. Weasley will punish them for multiple crimes, and they will probably be in trouble.

Moreover, the twins didn't pay much attention to their studies this school year, so it's conceivable how bad their grades would be. The two brothers could accept the poor grades, but they couldn't save their jobs, so they had to ask Ada for help and let her pre-exam cramming class start early.

The two brothers ran to Ada and cried, and Ada was helpless with them. She had to make a one-month review plan overnight. The name of this review plan was called "Operation to Save the Butt", in an effort to help the two brothers keep half of their butts.

The number of students in the intensive class this year is not as large as last year. Angelina and Alia have not joined for the time being. They are not as careless as Fred and George. They both study very hard. They just need to review step by step.

In fact, both Fred and George are very smart, otherwise they wouldn't be able to come up with so many tricks. If they put their energy into studying, they can catch up with Percy, but at least they won't have to worry about exams.

But then again, if Fred and George were really like Percy, they wouldn't be the Weasley twins who spread joy.

This year, the twins took the initiative to request review, so Ada saved herself a lot of trouble compared to last year. At least she didn't have to keep an eye on them to prevent them from having any bad intentions.

The twins were not the only ones who were worried about the exams. The school library was basically occupied by fifth or seventh year students. OWLs and NEWTs were arguably the two most important exams for wizards.
Charlie also became worried. He was about to take the NEWTs exam. Since April, he rarely participated in the team's training and left all the team's affairs to Oliver Wood. By May, Charlie was not even seen on the court.

Many students who were about to take the wizard level exams even developed pre-exam syndrome, had psychological or physical problems, and many even broke down and cried. Their behavior also exacerbated the fear of exams among lower grade students.

The twins' emotions were relatively stable. The two brothers were never afraid of exams. It was an honor for them to take the exams. They were only afraid of their mother, the amiable Mrs. Weasley.

When it comes to the ability to cope with exams, the two twins together are no match for Ada. Even if the two of them were stacked together, they couldn't reach her knees.

Fred and George's review plan has lasted for half a month. In order not to anger Mrs. Weasley and to save their own butts, the twins have no private time at all. They have to review with the professor in class during the day, and go to the Twilight Cabin at night to review again with Ada. After finally making it to curfew, there is still a lot of homework waiting for them to complete, and it is double! One is the essay assigned by the professors, and the other is the test paper written by Ada based on the knowledge points.

For the past half month, the twins have been living in dire straits. They are almost drowned in textbooks and parchment. They can only take a break on Wednesday, because Wednesday morning is Professor Binns' History of Magic class.

The History of Magic class is generally recognized as a course for catching up on sleep, mainly because it is not easy to stay awake in this class. Even Ada could only hold on until the end of the get out of class after casting a spell on herself.

Ada did not ask the twins to do the same thing as her. If she did so, it would be too cruel. So the History of Magic class became the only chance for the twins to relax. Whether they slept on the table or did something else, Ada didn't care, as long as the two brothers were happy.

If the twins hadn't fallen behind in so many courses, Ada wouldn't have wanted to be so harsh on them. She hoped that Fred and George would learn from their mistakes and be able to balance their studies and careers in their third year instead of being exhausted like they are now.

Professor Binns was still floating behind the desk, talking about the same old things, repeating over and over again what he had said countless times, while most of the students in the classroom had fallen into a deep sleep, and the rest were daydreaming, exploring the mysteries of the universe.

If Hogwarts were to select a model worker, Ada would definitely nominate Professor Binns first. If he was not the one selected in the end, it would mean that there was something wrong with the result and that Dumbledore was behind it.

"After the International Statute of Secrecy was signed and implemented in 1689, wizards went from being in the open to being in the dark and hiding one after another..." Professor Binns' lecture was interrupted by a knock on the door, so he had to pause his hypnosis magic.

Without the sound of Professor Binns' lecture, the students who had fallen into deep sleep or were daydreaming woke up one after another. With sleepy eyes, they saw Professor McGonagall standing at the door of the classroom.

The twins woke up naturally, and George even nudged Ada who was busy sorting out the "simulation questions". Ada looked up and saw Professor McGonagall looking at her. Ada removed her silencing spell so that she could hear what Professor McGonagall said.

"...Professor Binns, I'm sorry to disturb you in class. Can I borrow Trist?" said Professor McGonagall, who was standing at the door of the classroom.

Fred and George looked at Ada with confusion. They were wondering how big a mess Ada had made that made Professor McGonagall come and catch her now. Could it be that Ada had set fire to Snape's private storage room?
It was obviously impossible to set fire to Snape's private storage room. It could only exist in the twins' imagination. Before she could tie with the Trial Doll, Ada didn't have the courage to do it.

Not only the twins were confused, Ada was also full of questions, not knowing what Professor McGonagall wanted her to do. She was not far from the classroom door, and using this few steps, Ada went over everything she had done recently in her mind. She really didn't realize what trouble she had made again. She had been very honest this year and had not done many things that violated school rules!
"Professor, what's wrong?" Ada asked as she walked out of the classroom. She was really confused now and couldn't figure out why Professor McGonagall was looking for her.

Professor McGonagall stroked Ada's shoulder. Her eyes were full of heartache when she looked at Ada. She said softly, "Dear, Mr. Weasley sent a letter..."

When Ada heard about Mr. Weasley, she had already thought of why Professor McGonagall came to see her. She had already guessed...
