Chapter 19 Adaptation
Levian sadly returned to the common room, where Hermione was sitting next to stacks of books, quill in hand, writing incessantly. The stacks of books were very high, and Li Lin was far away, and only Hermione's fluffy hair could be seen.
He walked over and sat down beside him.
"Hermione, what are you writing about?"
Hermione finally noticed Li Lin, and she had surprise on her face.
"Great, Lin, you're finally back."
Then cast his gaze on the sheepskin for his own writing.
"This is today's class, I don't understand the question, I recorded it at the time, and now there is nothing to do in the common room, I will take it out, compare it with the books in the Ravenclaw library, and answer it."
Li Lin looked at the questions carefully, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily, many of the questions above were beyond the scope of the textbooks of first-year students, no wonder Hermione didn't know.
Li Lin had no choice but to pick up a copy of "Elementary Alchemy" and sit beside Hermione. She completed the homework she gave herself, while Li Lin began to study independently.
But it's been a while, and in the last few days of class, Hermione should be familiar with the teachers of various subjects, and by then she should have chased the teacher to ask questions.
After waiting for two hours, Hermione finally raised her head from the pile of books, and Li Lin handed over a cup of hot water as soon as possible. Then all the books were received in a shrunken box.
After Hermione drank the water, she wanted to take out a book or two to take back to the dormitory, but Li Lin's answer was no. He was very unhappy with Hermione's practice of using the thick history of magic as bedtime reading, and asked Hermione to get some rest.
"Hermione, it's more important to get a good rest than to save a little time reading the history of magic. When you have a good rest, you will have enough energy to study. But if you don't sleep well and miss one or two knowledge points in class tomorrow, you will need more time to make up for it. ”
Li Lin used crooked reasoning to fool Hermione. Potions were not a first-year curriculum, and Hermione's knowledge of the wizarding world was limited to textbooks and related books.
In the following week, Li Lin and Hermione, the first-year students, gradually became familiar with Hogwarts.
Teaching Charms is Professor Filius Flitwick, who is also the Dean of Ravenclaw College.
Surprisingly short in stature, it's no wonder that the students of the academy suspect that he has a goblin system.
Professor Felivi used to stand on a stack of books in class so that he could reach the lectern.
The first-year Charms class was not at all engaging at first, and it was boring, so to speak, training how to shake your wrists. Almost all of the young wizards are listless, which is probably different from their imaginary idea of learning powerful spells and reaching the pinnacle of life.
And Li Lin also fantasized about using education to change talent, so he took the spell class very seriously. However, no matter how hard he tried, he would not be able to release the spell without the professor even teaching him how to read the spell.
One of the most popular and anticipated classes throughout the school is Defence Against the Dark Arts.
But Li Lin had long known what it was as a teacher of Defence Against the Dark Arts. He even wanted to skip class.
Professor Quirrell's class was taught from the book. Li Lin wanted to take the opportunity to ask a few questions and embarrass Chiro, after all, the classroom was full of a smell of garlic, which made people very uncomfortable and unpleasant.
But he still gave up, because with his level, he couldn't imagine any problem that could stump Quirrell, you must know that Professor Quirrell was also an excellent student back then.
Rumor has it at the school that Professor Quirrell is trying to exorcise a vampire he encounters in Romania, fearing that the vampire will come back and arrest him. That's why my body smells of garlic.
Li Lin also had to admire these little wizards once again for their ignorance and lack of skills, reading one more book might be hell and torture for them. But then again, these wizards with mystical powers happen to be very superstitious.
Professor Quirrell tells the students that his large scarf was a gift from an African prince who thanked him for helping him free himself from the entanglement of the resurrected zombies.
Li Lin smiled at this statement, if he wasn't worried that he wouldn't be able to stop Avada, he really had the courage to go up and pull the scarf.
Then Li Lin found the problem, although many young wizards from wizarding families did not learn spells when they were in their own homes, but there were also very few who were outstanding. After digging these people out, plus most of the young wizards from Muggle families, most of them were on the same level and knew nothing about magic. However, even at this same level, Li Lin deliberately observed and found a problem.
There was no doubt that he was lagging behind, and that all the classes that required the use of magic belonged to Neville's level, or even worse than Neville, after all, according to the Gryffindors, Neville blew up feathers in Charms class. But Li Lin, sometimes he wondered if the wand in his hand was a wooden stick, the Ollivander who sold the wand, but after he couldn't find a wand that suited him, he deliberately took a branch to fool him.
However, even Li Lin himself couldn't be fooled by this kind of thinking. He clearly knows that the problem is still with himself.
Pomona Sprout, the head of Hufflepuff House and professor of herbology, was stocky and stocky, and every class was taken to the greenhouse at the back of the castle to study herbs, learn how to grow these exotic plants and fungi, and learn what they were used for.
Thinking about the number of students in each grade of the school, Li Lin suddenly felt no longer guilty about eating at school every day.
After cultivating these herbs, in addition to being used for the consumption of Potions class, I am afraid that some of them will be sold as a subsidy for Hogwarts.
Li Lin was more or less guilty because the school's welfare was too good, but now that he thinks about it, he has also paid for his labor. In this way, he overcame his guilt, and finally had the courage to go to the school cafeteria and face the sparkling eyes of the house-elves.
Of course, I haven't been available lately. The enthusiasm that had just started school dominated Li Lin, and it was conceivable that he was not in the mood to be busy with other things in the past week.
Every Thursday night, Ravenclaw observes the sky with a telescope and learns the names of the different stars and the orbits of the planets. The lesson made Li Lin want to laugh, but he still tried to learn the terminology seriously, such as "Mars is very bright tonight". But the attempt failed, and in the end it was only one sentence.
The most interesting course is probably the history of magic, first of all, this course is taught by Ghost, Binns. Li Lin thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out what the ghost could buy for consumption, so he figured out that Hogwarts would not pay Professor Binns.
While the students were enthusiastic when they first saw Binns walk across the blackboard to class, when he began to lecture, a large part of them could describe it as listless.
There is a saying in the school about Professor Binns. The elderly teacher who taught the history of magic fell asleep one day in front of the fire in the staff lounge and woke up straight to his next class, only to leave his body there.
However, it is well known that only those shamans who "do not blink their eyes" refuse to enter another world, whether because of fear, guilt, or an obsession with the material world.
So there is some debate among students about whether Professor Binns was aware of his death or not. Some people thought that Professor Binns had not yet realized his death, so he continued to attend classes as usual. But this is very untenable, and every time Professor Binns comes to class, he comes in through the wall, and he can't be unaware of his anomaly.
But if the students are aware of death, and they can't understand that Professor Binns is still in class after knowing that he is dead, then this means that Professor Binns's fascination with the material world, and what he can't give up, is to go to class.
But Li Lin was very intoxicated in Professor Binns's history of magic class. Because this class gave him a strong sense of familiarity.
Li Lin spread the history of magic on the table, and Professor Binns's teaching plan was to retell what was written in the book, and this method made Li Lin, who regarded the history of magic as a novel, suddenly found that the sound of reading aloud was like automatic reading when reading a novel in his previous life, which instantly aroused his familiarity, and then he put the history of magic aside and closed his eyes. Listening to the reading aloud is like a machine, and there is no emotional tone, which deepens this sense of familiarity, so. In a short period of time, Li Lin adapted to the history of magic class.
This made Hermione, who was suffering from the torture on the side, very admirable. As a good student, she couldn't accept that she fell asleep in class. In this regard, Li Lin seized the opportunity and once again warned Hermione to rest on time, otherwise she would fall asleep involuntarily in class.
Hermione half-believed it, after all, it was her first class, and she didn't know that she fell asleep because Professor Binns was teaching too strongly, but really thought that she was sleeping too late at night, so she was a little tired.
As the week passed, the young wizards finally settled into life at Hogwarts. At the same time, more and more homework is left in class.
And after consuming a large amount of potions many times, Snape, who had not made much achievements, finally got acquainted with Li Lin and signed a loan note for Li Lin from the school library.
The Ravenclaw Public Library has a very large number of books, but it is still dwarfed by the Hogwarts School Library, which has sealed a large number of banned books.
With the borrowing note, Li Lin's reading range expanded again, and when he was addicted to elementary alchemy, he also received a letter from his father.
It's urgent.
So, every night in the corner of the common room, when Hermione, who was piled up with books in front of her, was struggling to write, the figure beside her who was originally quietly reading a book was also struggling to write.
As for the automatic writing pen, it was all used by Li Lin to write homework. Although this kind of writing pen is always full of mistakes and omissions when writing answers, Li Lin can barely pass the test after piecing together and deleting and correcting it before class every day.
Therefore, before the arrival of the newly ordered automatic writing pen, Li Lin can only write these novels by hand, fortunately, these pens seem to be goose feathers, but the amount of ink stored in them is extremely large, if it is really like a classical quill pen, writing one or two words will be dipped in ink, then Li Lin is really going crazy.
