Hogwarts Emerald

Ada kept tossing and turning on the bed, thinking about what Snape had said to her. Snape was disgusted with her wandering around the castle at night, and the level of disgust was far beyond what a professor should be.

The first time he encountered Foley's secret during a night tour of the castle, it was Snape who lured Foley away. Now that he thinks about it, Snape should be protecting her and protecting her as a student. Snape's image seemed to have grown taller in an instant. .

Although he was still venomous and annoying, Snape was indeed protecting her, more than once.

Ada, who was thinking about herself, tried to restore Snape's actions, and her impression of Snape improved unknowingly. I still hate it, but I won’t hate it so much that my teeth will itch like before.

On Sunday, Gryffindor was still conducting hunting operations, but this time they were much more low-key. Although they no longer openly stood guard throughout the castle and their actions were much more concealed, they still found no trace of the thief.

During dinner, the seniors complained one after another. They thought that the thief was too courageous and was definitely not a Gryffindor student or someone who graduated from here.

A true warrior should face the bleak life head-on. Even if there are many thorns ahead, he must bravely fight his way through to the end. Of course, if the roles were reversed, they would not be so stupid as to throw themselves into a trap. These are just complaints about their futile efforts.

The next week, Ada listened to Snape's words and stayed in the dormitory for a week. Every time I left the dormitory, it was always with the twins or Angelina and Alia, never alone.

Such an obedient Ada did not get summoned by Snape again, and even Snape spared her a favor during the Potions class. This was the easiest Potions class Ada had ever taken, with no harsh words and no harsh words. No one caused trouble for her.

This is the last week of February, a very ordinary week. There are no frightening attacks or inexplicable thieves. Even the bad weather has improved.

But this was only for the rest of the school, and for Welfare it was a most unlucky week.

On Monday, his robe was accidentally set on fire by a student. Although he was not injured, his expensive robe was burned. After hearing this, Ada felt distressed about the robe for a long time.

On Tuesday, he was accidentally injured by another student on his right leg, and then he was rushed to the school doctor's office by the students. On the way to the doctor, he was hit on the head by a careless student and fainted. exist

Under the careful care of Madam Pomfrey, Foley left the school infirmary on Thursday and returned full of health.

As things went wrong, Professor Welfare, who thought he could get through the week safely, accidentally slipped and fell when he was going downstairs, and rolled all the way down the stairs. Less than twenty minutes after leaving the school doctor's office, Foley met Madam Pomfrey again.

This means that Benedict Foley is young. If he had been Professor Gerald, who was seventy and eighty last year, he would probably kill Professor Gerald in an instant.

The old professor had an accident in April last year and is still lying in St. Mungo's. Fortunately, he was not injured.

The students were privately discussing the unfortunate benefits, and everyone believed that the curse on the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor was beginning to take effect. The power of the curse has initially been revealed. Now it depends on how long Professor Welfare can last and what the final result will be.

Some girls who supported Welfare and were soft-hearted began to pray to Merlin day and night, hoping that his old man could bless Professor Welfare, who was suffering from bad luck, and that he could get through it with strength.

Others were unkind enough to start speculating on when Foley would leave Hogwarts, and how disastrous his end would be.

The twins invested all their pocket money, and they bet it in the last month of June. If the benefits really hold up until June, the twins' pocket money will take off directly.

So the Weasley brothers, who were obsessed with money, infiltrated into the group praying for welfare and health.

March arrived in the blink of an eye, and Hogwarts ushered in the long-lost spring. In the harsh spring cold, Professor Welfare was discharged from the hospital again. When he left the school doctor's office, he did not follow the same footsteps as last time. He returned healthy. Many students cheered for him, and many others felt sad for him.

The Hogwarts campus is concerned about how long Professor Welfare can last, while the wizarding world outside Hogwarts is concerned about who will be the next Minister of Magic. Millicent Barnold has officially announced his resignation. He will officially step down after the selection of new ministers.

During this time, the principal's chair in the auditorium is often empty. Dumbledore has many titles besides being the principal of the school. He has frequently left Hogwarts recently to attend meetings.

During Dumbledore's absence, another burglary incident occurred in Hogwarts, and this time the victim house was Slytherin. The Slytherin Lake View Room, which was visited by Mr. Thief, also did not lose anything. Neither the creatures at the bottom of the lake nor the Bloody Barrow saw Mr. Thief.

This Mr. Thief replaced Professor Welfare and once again topped the Hogwarts hot search list. Ada didn't know if there was a saying in the magic world that thieves never steal anything, but this Mr. Thief obviously didn't know this.

Hufflepuff and Gryffindor were not spared either. Mr. Thief visited the common rooms of the two houses in two different ways.

The theft of Hufflepuff clearly shows the progress of Mr. Thief. His arrival was almost undetected. If a house elf hadn't discovered a little abnormality, the infiltration would have been successful. .

The Mr. Thief who failed to succeed seemed to have given up on infiltrating the Gryffindor lounge. He returned to his previous rough behavior towards the Gryffindor lounge. The students returned to the messy lounge as soon as possible. Notified Professor McGonagall.

After Professor McGonagall arrived in the lounge, he first calmed the students' emotions and stopped the plan of the group of angry little lions to turn the castle upside down. She also asked the doorkeeper, the dormitory aunt Fat Madam, but nothing came out.

If the students hadn't told the Fat Madam, the Fat Madam wouldn't even know that an outsider had entered the lounge behind her!

Fred and George claimed that their homework books had been taken away by Mr. Thief and they could not turn in their homework. Professor McGonagall, who was in a bad mood, imprisoned the two of them as punishment.

However, the twins who had stolen the chicken but failed to lose the rice did not show the slightest regret during this week of confinement.

The four major colleges were forcibly visited one after another. Mr. Thief was so arrogant that he only had to carve the words I'm here on the walls of each lounge. Although this thief came and went without a trace, he had nothing. He was taken away, but he successfully aroused the hostility of the four colleges.

This behavior, which seems to be the same as playing tricks on the four houses, has caused public outrage. If you see any student-made gadgets in the four common rooms, please don’t be surprised. This is just the students’ protection of their own common rooms. .

The only pity is that these agencies did not successfully catch the thief, but accidentally injured many students. This made the school hospital overcrowded for a while, and even the welfare professors who enjoyed the VIP treatment of the school hospital could only stand in line in the corridor.

Being able to make the four colleges share the same hatred is something that is enough to be proud of.

Compared to Fred and George, Ada, who knows her mistakes and can correct them, is very valuable. She has not gone out at night for a long time, and she did not even follow the twins when they went to scout the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest.

However, she would still be called by Snape from time to time to help Snape process the materials needed for Potions class. It can be said that most of the materials used by students at Hogwarts came from Ada. hand.

During this period, as her contact with Snape became more frequent, Ada became more and more bold. She even dared to ask Snape questions, although Snape's attitude was very bad every time he answered the question. , but still answered Ada’s question.

Every time he asked a question, Snape's expression seemed to be saying, How can you be so stupid? You can't even know such a simple thing or Do you have a brain as big as a raisin? The answer is so obvious that you can't even see it.

Facing such a face all the time, Ada felt that her face had been fully tempered, and she was able to face Snape's taunts without hesitation.

Under Snape's kind guidance, Ada made great strides towards a better self. This situation was unexpected by Snape. He never thought that Ada could be so submissive under his torture. It seemed a long time ago that he threatened to deduct points.

The days went by like this day by day. Although there were occasional ups and downs, it was generally peaceful. In a blink of an eye, the twins' birthday is coming soon.
