The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 2 Home Visit at Hogwarts

It was like a dream, and Ada found it incredible. She read the short admission notice several times, her fingers constantly stroking the thick parchment.

Now, all the strange events that happened to the original owner can be explained clearly. They were caused by the magic fluctuations caused by the awakening of the little wizard's magic. What she has been trying to practice since she came here is not the supernatural power she thought, but magic!

I used to think that this was just an ordinary Britain in the late 1980s, but today I know that Britain is still the same Britain, except that this country has a group of wizards, and I am just a little wizard among them!

Harry Potter is a novel that has swept the world. Ada had heard someone mention it before, and that friend even fantasized about receiving an acceptance letter one day. Now Ada has fulfilled her old friend's dream, but she is not happy at all.

Because it had been a long time, Ada had long forgotten what her friends had said. She only vaguely remembered the three names: Harry Potter, Dumbledore and Voldemort.

Ada vaguely remembered that the story of "Harry Potter" should have taken place in the 90s, and the noseless Voldemort was also causing trouble during this time.

This means that Hogwarts and the entire British wizarding world will be full of various dangers in the future!

How you make Ada happy!
[Ding! The host has received the Hogwarts admission notice, the unlocking conditions have been met, and the system is starting up...] A mechanical synthesized voice that could not distinguish between male and female appeared in Ada's mind.

Just when Ada was struggling with whether to experience the wonders of the magic world, the voice that she hated the most when she was reading online articles in her previous life suddenly appeared in her mind. How unhappy she was with the system in her previous life, how happy she is now. The law of Jingze really does not deceive me!

[The wizard system has been successfully opened, please browse the details as soon as possible. 】

Ada calmed down and began to browse the system in her mind. The composition of this system was not complicated in Ada's opinion, and it was even a little simple. It was so simple that there was not even an option to add points on the character basic panel:

Name: Esmeralda Drizzt

Gender: Female
Age: twelve years old
Height: 149 feet inches (about cm, the host is a short man)

Weight: 80 pounds (about 36 kilograms, correction, the host is a thin short man)
Occupation: Hogwarts student (not yet enrolled, graduated from junior college)
Specialty: None (Don't be so lazy, please work hard!)

Subjects of expertise: None (Please continue to work hard!)
Magic proficiency: None (Host, can you try harder?)

Talent: Magic Reserve (The magic reserve is far beyond that of his peers, close to the level of an ordinary adult wizard, but he is still a rookie, not even cannon fodder)
Good at learning (Hosts who have experienced exam-oriented education have good learning ability to cope with exams, but poor hands-on ability!)
Sympathy (good-looking, and unfortunate life experience makes it easier to arouse sympathy from others, but it's useless)

Evaluation summary: The host really has nothing to boast about. Apart from being good-looking, he is useless. He is a scumbag who can only waste mana. The system really wants to know how many chapters the host can live to...

Looking at the panel quietly, Ada said that she felt uncomfortable: "If I am good at hands-on work, go ask other children in the orphanage and see what they say!" In short, the system's evaluation of herself is not very lethal but extremely insulting.

Ada silently recited "Don't Get Angry" in her heart, and then continued to explore the system, and finally found the usefulness of the system. The system can help her improve her magic proficiency, comprehension, magic power reserves and other aspects.

Improving proficiency in spells can make Ada more adept at using magic. The same spell will consume less magic power and have a stronger effect in Ada's hands.

Improving comprehension can allow Ada to learn and master a magic faster, and it is also helpful for improving proficiency. The higher the comprehension, the faster the proficiency will increase.

The magic reserve is even simpler. Casting spells requires magic. The more magic reserves you have, the more spells you can cast or consume larger spells.

"System, system, is there any novice gift package or something like that?" Ada asked silently in her heart.

[The host is thinking too much. There is no novice gift package, but the host has achieved the achievement of admission notice. The reward has been issued. Please check it in time! ] It was still the same synthesized voice, without any emotion, and it was neither likable nor annoying.

When she clicked on the achievement reward, there were no dazzling special effects, only a simple magic appeared in Ada's mind: the complete version of brain occlusion (the host has too many unknown secrets, which are extremely dangerous once known to others! Please learn as soon as possible).

Ada was very grateful for the generosity of the system. Whether it was her identity as a time traveler or the secrets of the system, if anyone knew anything about it, she would not have a good ending. Being taken away for sliced ​​​​and studied would be the lightest punishment.

Although not many people can master the power of Legilimency, no one can guarantee that no one will use it on them, so it is still important to learn the art of brain occlumency. As Ada began to absorb the knowledge of brain occlumency, fragments of past memories began to replay in front of her eyes, accompanied by waves of dizziness.

Ada covered her head and fell on the bed in pain.

In the yard of the orphanage, a group of young children were playing football under the leadership of a few older children. The football was a bit old and the yard was not big, but everyone was having a lot of fun playing, and they didn't even notice that there was an extra person at the gate of the yard.

She was a tall woman with a serious expression. She was wearing a long emerald green dress and a pair of square glasses. Her black hair was tied into a tight bun, making her look very capable.

As the woman walked into the orphanage, the children who were playing stopped, and some of them began to put on their clothes. They regarded this woman who came alone as hope, the hope of leaving the orphanage. The woman tried not to look at those poor children, and walked towards the square building in the orphanage with big strides.

The woman walked to the door and happened to see a young girl in an apron coming out. The girl looked a little reckless.

"Good morning. I have an appointment with Mrs. Mary here. Is she there?" The woman waved to the young girl and asked.

"Uh, yes." The girl responded at first. She didn't remember that Lady Mary had mentioned that someone was visiting today, but she still said, "Please follow me."

The young girl led the woman to a room and knocked on the door. "Mrs. Mary, a lady said she has an appointment with you today."

After a while, the door was opened by Lady Mary. Lady Mary, who was a little plump back then, has now become skinny, with fatigue evident in her brows and eyes. It is obvious that Lady Mary has not had a good life in the past decade.

"Hello, I'm Minerva McGonagall, I wrote to you."

"Come in." Lady Mary vaguely remembered that she had made such an appointment. Lady Mary let Magg into the room. The room was a bit shabby and simple, with no decorations or decent furniture. She asked Magg to sit on a chair, and she sat behind the messy desk, looking at Magg nervously, because she could not remember the content of the two people's communication.

"I have already stated in the previous letter the purpose of my visit. I am here for Esmeralda Drizzt who lives in this orphanage." Magg spoke first, looking at the nervous Madam Mary.

"Are you going to adopt her?" asked Lady Mary anxiously, "or do you know her?"

"neither."

Hearing this answer, Lady Mary's expression became a little lonely, "Then what is your purpose?"

"I am a teacher, employed at Hogwarts. I am here regarding Miss Drizzt's enrollment in my school."

Mrs. Mary had never heard of the name of the school, nor had she heard Ada mention that she had enrolled in this school, so she asked suspiciously, "Why are you interested in her? Has she enrolled in your school?"

"Her qualities just meet our admissions criteria, so I came here today." Mag didn't seem impatient at all. "Her name has been on the school's record since she was born..."

"Who registered her? Her relatives, or the parents who abandoned her?" asked Lady Mary. She just had a bad memory recently, which didn't mean she was confused.

Mag was somewhat helpless. This seemingly not very smart Lady Mary was unexpectedly difficult to deal with. Mag took out her wand and waved it at Lady Mary, then picked up a blank piece of paper and handed it to Lady Mary.

Mrs. Mary took the completely blank paper, and her eyes became dazed. She stared at the blank paper for a long time, as if there was magic on the paper. "I understand. Your school's admission of Ada is completely reasonable and in line with procedures. Thank you for your school's attention to this child." She returned the paper to Mag.

Seeing that Lady Mary was no longer a problem, Magg was relieved. It seemed that Lady Mary was quite responsible for the children. Although she didn't know why Dumbledore asked her to pay more attention to Drizzt, Magg decided to follow Dumbledore's instructions. So she asked Lady Mary, "If possible, can you tell me about Miss Drizzt? Was she born here? Have you been taking care of her all this time?"

Perhaps it was because of the magic, or perhaps it was because both of them were women, Lady Mary let down all her defenses, "No, no, we picked her up at the door of the orphanage. That was twelve years ago, one day in December, it snowed heavily all day and didn't stop until the evening, it was terribly cold. Nancy and I... Oh, poor Nancy, I hope everything is well for her in heaven. Nancy and I picked her up at the door of the orphanage, she was a little frozen at the time, but fortunately, she recovered..."

"Anything else?" Mag continued.
