Hogwarts Emerald

Ada, who didn't ask anything from Snape, had no choice but to leave, followed by a little tail. Watching Ada leave, Snape also walked out of the underground classroom. He walked to the eighth floor of the castle. He felt that he should have a good talk with Dumbledore.

Ada walked in front, followed respectfully by Winnie the house elf.

"Winnie, how long have you been at Hogwarts?" Ada turned back to talk to the elf Winnie.

Winnie raised her head, her tennis ball-sized eyes sparkling, and she said, "Miss, Winnie has been at Hogwarts since she was born, which has been eleven years."

"Then let me ask you, has Professor Snape always been like this?"

"Miss, Winnie is useless. Winnie doesn't know about Mr. Snape's situation. Winnie is only responsible for cleaning the school." Winnie the elf said reproachfully, her big head hanging down, as if she would shed tears at any time. flow out.

"I can't blame you. Snape is really hard to see. You said it would be great if he were just like Hagrid. He would be able to give me an answer and save me the trouble of guessing on my own. ." Ada said.

"Mr. Hagrid always makes a mess in the castle..."

Ada also thought about Hagrid's usual appearance. It was normal for the elf in charge of the castle not to like him, but Snape's greasy long hair should also make the elf feel awkward.

When entering the common room, the elf Winnie handed Ada a tray full of food and a jug of juice, bowed to Ada before leaving.

On Saturday, the Gryffindor Quidditch match began. Gryffindor students gathered together, holding various banners and making loud noises to cheer for Gryffindor.

Ada and the twins mingled with the crowd and shouted loudly to cheer up, but they also spared no effort.

The game was ups and downs and very exciting. With Charlie's efforts, Gryffindor's offense was very smooth and they took the lead at the beginning of the game.

Charlie deserves to be the captain. Not only does he have superb skills, he can not only score by himself, but he can also use his containment to help his teammates gain opportunities. At the same time, he can command players in other positions well and integrate all Gryffindor players into a whole.

Goalkeeper Wood also performed very well today. He blocked many difficult shots from Ravenclaw and kept the goal ring. It was precisely because of his excellent performance that Gryffindor remained in the lead in the game. , was not overtaken by Ravenclaw.

Other players also perform their duties and contribute their own strength to this game.

After two hours of this game, the Golden Snitch was finally obtained by Gryffindor's Seeker, and Gryffindor, who was united as one, won the game.

The Gryffindor students in the stands burst into loud cheers and stamped their feet. Fortunately, the stands were sturdy and were not trampled by the excited students. Professor McGonagall was also very happy. She clenched her fists vigorously and cheered, and her original serious look disappeared.

The Gryffindor students surrounded the team members and returned to the castle. Everyone was dancing, making noise, and laughing along the way, celebrating the victory of the game. In the festive atmosphere of Gryffindor, the kitchen of Hogwarts was "ransacked", and the house elves bowed together to bid farewell to the little lions who had returned home with a full load.

These days, Ada has not forgotten Welfare, who is in poor health, and has been paying attention to his every move. It is not that Ada cares about his health, but that all Ada's suspicions ultimately point to Welfare.

Especially in the recent events, when the four colleges were forcibly broken into, Welfare had plenty of time. After Foley stopped searching the castle, the Ravenclaws were stolen. When Slytherin was robbed in March, Foley had already left the school infirmary and was well enough to do the job.

When the two houses of Hufflepuff and Gryffindor were visited by uninvited guests, Foley appeared in the school doctor's office, which could somewhat clear his suspicions. But Ada knew Foley's secret, so in her case, Foley not only failed to clear away his suspicion, but actually made it worse.

What's more, Foley's injuries during that time were not serious and would not delay his actions. Moreover, Ada did not believe that an excellent wizard like Foley had no means or trump cards.

What Ada wasn't sure about was Daniel's attacker, and who broke into the Forbidden Forest. That's why Ada asked Snape, but Snape didn't give her an answer at all.

Ada can only rely on these discoveries of her own to focus on the biggest welfare of the suspect. Whether he is unjust or not has nothing to do with her. She didn't complain to Dumbledore, nor did she write to the Ministry of Magic or the Daily Prophet. It wasn't even a frame-up. It was just a suspicion, and it didn't need any evidence to support it.

Foley is so reclusive these days that you hardly see him except in Defense Against the Dark Arts classes. How Ada hoped that in addition to its real-time function, the Marauder's Map could also record changes that occurred within a certain period of time.

Unfortunately, the Marauder's Map failed to satisfy Ada's extravagant wishes, and Ada could not stare at the map 24 hours a day. If Foley's actions happened to happen when Ada was not paying attention to the map, then Ada would not be found at all. His handle.

In the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Ada sat in her seat and pretended to read a book, but her eyes occasionally glanced at Welfare on the podium. Welfare's face was a little pale. I don't know if it was because he was always injured or because he didn't get enough rest. He was originally handsome and unrestrained and became very haggard.

Ever since Benedict Foley was injured by a student's hand in class, all practice in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class has been cancelled. Although Foley did not explicitly say that students are not allowed to take out their wands, there are no wands in his class now. Useful place.

Foley read from the book on the podium, word for word. In sharp contrast to his humorous self before, he was now moving towards Professor Binns' style at great speed.

The recent Defense Against the Dark Arts classes have been like this, either suspended because he was injured, or just as perfunctory as today. Everyone also complained about this, but just looking at his miserable look, many people's hearts softened.

People's hearts are made of flesh, and no one is too embarrassed to push too hard for the unfortunate welfare, so this course has become the lifeless look it is now.

The students are busy down there, sleeping, doing homework, and doing whatever else. Foley acts as a ruthless reading machine on stage. Just like the history of magic, both parties do not interfere or disturb each other.

It's just that Foley's hypnosis skills are far inferior to Professor Binns, and the sleep quality of the students who choose to sleep is not as good as that of Magic History.

After class, a haggard-looking Welfare stopped Ada who was about to leave.

"Miss Drizzt, wait a moment."

Ada was a little surprised to be stopped and almost thought she was taking a potion class. She turned back and said, "Professor Welfare, what's the matter?"

"Come with me, I need your help with something." After finishing speaking, Foley walked into a small room in the classroom.

Ada frowned, she didn't know which song Foley was singing, and Ada thought maybe Foley had discovered her eavesdropping. But the benefits of leaving her in front of everyone should not do anything.

Ada calmly followed Foley into the cabin. She suppressed all her emotions and did not let Foley see her expression.

"I borrowed two books from the library before, but I never returned them due to physical reasons." Foley took out two books from the bookshelf in the cabin, "You often go to the library, can you please help me return them?" "

"No problem, Professor." Ada took the book and said to Welfare, "Professor, you must take care of your health. Everyone supports you." Ada pretended to be Welfare's support team.

"Thank you, I will be careful." Welfare said with a smile, "I haven't finished my work yet, how can I give up?"

"Professor, is there anything else?" Ada said, holding the book in her arms. Foley's words made her think something.

"No more, go ahead." Foley said, weakly leaning on a table and sitting down.

Ada started to walk out with the book in her arms. She felt that there was something in Foley's words, as if he was testing herself.

Foley, who was sitting on the seat, said to Ada who came to the door: "I heard that you were always running around in the castle a while ago?"

Ada, who had her back turned to Welfare, felt cold sweat on her forehead. She tried her best to keep her voice steady. She replied: "The whole Gryffindor was doing this at the time, and I followed them in the castle." Turned around.”

"I don't mean to blame you, you also want to do something for the school." Welfare said, "Go ahead, just don't go the wrong way when delivering books for me."
