The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 108 Fighting for Gifts
In the days that followed, Ada would occasionally go to Cecil to get a signature, but the two of them didn't talk about his body or black magic anymore, as if the conversation that night had never happened.

Professor Cecil continued his courses. The Defense Against the Dark Arts class was still so exciting. The theory and practice were combined. In each class, you could learn useful knowledge and learn how to fight against dangerous magical creatures or wizards' curses.

Everyone has put the doom of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor behind them, and they all hope that Cecil will continue to be their professor.It's a pity that their wishes are doomed to fail. No one knows that the professor is terminally ill, and Ada doesn't know how long he can last.

On February [-], [-], Valentine's Day and New Year's Eve came at the same time.But Hogwarts doesn't celebrate New Year's Eve, let alone have the habit of watching the year. The castle turns pink again, and couples of young couples get bored together, spreading their love.

Ada, who was full of malice, could only wish them a happy reunion, and even wanted to sing a happy breakup, but it is estimated that no one in the school could understand what she was singing except Qiu Zhang, who was in the first grade.

A rare oriental face appeared in the school, and Ada was naturally a little curious. She and the twins also went to see Qiu Zhang secretly.With long black and shiny hair, he has a gentle and friendly personality, and he speaks in a friendly manner, and looks very popular.

But Ada's contact with Qiu Zhang was limited to this, and she didn't join her life rashly because of the other party's oriental appearance, but the twins thought that Qiu Zhang was very good-looking.

At this point, Ada has to admit that in Hogwarts, which is full of Western faces, Cho Chang's distinctive Asian appearance is indeed a plus item, exotic style.

Today, Gryffindor and Hufflepuff are in class together, and Ida can be considered to have seen the ability of the Hufflepuff house to attract bees and butterflies, not to mention students at the same level as Cedric. The seniors who want old cows to eat tender grass will also come to him.

The classroom was surrounded by this group of girls. When Ida passed by, she just said hello to Cedric, and she suffered an indiscriminate disaster. The jealous girls gave her countless rolls of eyes.

Besides Snape's old bat, who would dare to give Ada this grievance?Naturally, she wanted to reciprocate each other one by one, but this group of high-ranking people didn't care about Ida at all, they all paid attention to the sunny and handsome little Seid, what kind of big clove of garlic are you, Drizzt!
Outnumbered, Ada had no choice but to retreat, and sat obediently in her seat, while Yingying Yanyan, who was beside Cedric, didn't leave angrily until class.Fortunately, the group of girls didn't show up again when get out of class was over, and Ada didn't have to suffer from rolling her eyes again.

At night, Ada went to the basement room alone. She was originally going to come with the twins. She planned to teach the twins some practical spells to improve their strength.

It's just that the plan was far behind the changes, and the twins were locked up by Professor McGonagall.

For more than a year, the twins have violated countless school rules. Filch's records can fill a closet. This time is just a small fight for them. The two have no deterrent effect.

The cause of the incident is still to go back to Valentine's Day. The twins intercepted several letters to Ida, and the two brothers' prank targets were selected.These simple little boys did not expect the slippery roads in society and complicated people's hearts. I hope the twins did not leave any heavy psychological shadow on them.

However, the twins who "do good deeds without leaving their names" still did not escape the sanctions of the school regulations.The matter came to Professor McGonagall, and the witty dean saw the whole story at a glance. The masterminds of the case, Fred and George, were not forgiven by the victim, and the two brothers were brought to justice by the stern Professor McGonagall.

Ada, who had no doubts, only received a verbal warning from Professor McGonagall, without any actual punishment. After all, this matter has nothing to do with her.If Professor McGonagall hadn't told her, Ada wouldn't have known that the twins had intercepted her letter.

In the underground room, one person and one puppet stand opposite each other. They look exactly the same, even holding the same wand.However, it is not as difficult to distinguish the real Monkey King from the fake Monkey King, because the two wear different clothes. Ada took off her robe, but the doll did not.

The twins were put in confinement, and Ada could only be here alone. It just so happened that today was New Year's Eve. As long as she defeated the trial puppet, Ada could get her New Year gift.

Both Ada and the puppet held their wands in front of each other, bowed to each other, and then stepped back five steps from their respective positions to stand still.This is the etiquette of wizard duels. Only after the above-mentioned actions are completed, both parties can attack each other with magic spells until one party loses its wand or the ability to fight back.

It was a regular wizard's duel, the one in which Professor Flitwick had won the championship.It's like planting a flag in an online game. When one side's blood volume becomes one, the winner will be decided. It's dangerous but not fatal.

Of course, there are regular duels, including illegal duels, which usually result in the complete incapacity or death of one party.This kind of life-and-death duel doesn't have to follow any etiquette, you can do it however you want, and you can use whatever spell you want.

"Thousands of bullets!" Ada launched the attack first, and the gravel all over the ground floated in mid-air, and shot at the doll following her spell.The trial puppet held its wand flat, and a light curtain was formed in front of it, and all the stones that hit it were turned into powder by the light curtain.

The flying stones were just to get a head start, and the burning flames followed by the stones rushed towards the trial doll. There were black marks where the flame passed, and the hot flame scorched the trial doll's hair.

Ever since practicing with the trial puppet, Ada has discovered that compared to a watertight defense, Ada prefers to take the initiative to attack, using her own offensive to overwhelm the opponent's head and force the opponent to make mistakes. One loophole and you can win.

Ada likes the continuous attack like the tide, and she likes the feeling of dominating the opponent.Of course, if it is possible, Ida would like to kill in seconds. A single spell can defeat the opponent. There is no single enemy under the magic wand. I feel excited just thinking about it.

When the raging fire was resolved by the trial puppet, Ada's stun spell and crushing curse also followed. The trial puppet could only continuously cast the iron armor curse and protective spell to block Ada's attack.

Lights flashed one after another in the underground room, and Ada's suppression continued, so the trial puppet could only take time to counterattack Ada during the interval of defense.It's just that Ada blocked all these counterattacks one by one, unable to disrupt her offensive rhythm.

The trial puppet is just an anthropomorphic person, not a real person. It does not have human emotions, so it will not be swayed by emotions in the duel. Whether it is attacking or defending, it can choose the most reasonable way. This is also Ada's practice. After so long, there is no reason to defeat it.

The stones on the ground were turned into three hounds by Ada, and the hounds rushed at the trial doll from three directions.In the previous practice, Ada also often used the transformation spell to restrain the opponent, so that she would find the opponent's weakness more easily.

Three bright silver lights flashed, the three hounds turned back into stones, and the trial puppet finally showed its flaws.Ada would not miss such an opportunity anyway. In addition to the most commonly used disarming spells and stun spells, the crushing spells, blasting spells, and cutting spells were also fired by Ada in one go.

The magic power is flowing at a high speed, and spells of various colors are gushing out from the tip of the wand. It is a pity not to be a rapper at the speed at which Ida recites the spell.

Several spells directly covered all the escape routes of the trial puppet, it could only defend against all of these spells, or be knocked down to the ground.

The result was exactly as Ada expected, the puppet only blocked part of the attack, and the rest of the spell hit the puppet, it was directly knocked into the air, and the blood that flowed out stained the black robe.

The doll that was knocked into the air lay on the ground, but the system did not announce Ada's victory for a long time, and Ada stepped forward slowly with doubts.
