The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 177 Our brother is super brave!

The ancient castle standing in Scotland for thousands of years should sound a bit eerie, just like the famous haunted castles in the UK.But Hogwarts is filled with a cheerful atmosphere. Today, there is no distinction between professors and students. Everyone is celebrating the festival and spreading their own happiness.

The tall Hagrid was drinking glass after glass, and soon his face was turning red.Blushing, he actually kissed Professor McGonagall on the cheek, and Professor McGonagall just blushed and giggled.

This scene really shocked Ida, who was eating melons. Rubeus Hagrid is worthy of being a Gryffindor. Now Ida finally understands why Hagrid dared to raise his cuties. He is the real warrior.

Compared with Hagrid, Quirrell, the man behind the scenes, and Snape, the viper with a face, are simply weak.

From today onwards, Hagrid is Ida's idol. Although this brother is not handsome enough, he is unshaven, and he can't cook well, but our brother is super brave!
In the future, Ada can say to others: Our elder brother dares to raise giant arachnids and three-headed dogs, but does your elder brother dare?Our brother dares to kiss Professor McGonagall, does your brother dare?

Just ask, who doesn't love such a brother?
Tomorrow Ada will publish an article in the "Daily Prophet", titled "Hagrid's Well, I want the whole world to know".It doesn't matter whether the whole world knows it or not, what's important is that Hagrid must know, and establish a good relationship with his idol. If Hagrid can give himself a bottle of Acantara's venom as a fan benefit, it will be even more perfect!

Ada and the others returned to the common room with a pile of wizarding bag and firecracker loot in their arms. Ada put the red hat on the puppy Gallon's head.

After sitting in the dormitory for a while, Ada heard the twins shouting her name loudly from below. The restless boys were going to have a snowball fight outside, so Ada asked Fred to take Garen out with him. , but she herself was stuck on the bed, and she had no idea of ​​going out at all.

Just like that, Ada fell asleep peacefully in the warm dormitory, the boys played wildly outside for an afternoon, and the puppy Gallon also ran outside for an afternoon.

When they came back, they happened to run into Ada who had caught up on her sleep.Rubbing her eyes, Ada looked at the five wet people in front of her. If she hadn't known in advance that they were going to have a snowball fight, Ada would have thought that they had just gone to the Black Lake for winter swimming, or they were swimming in their clothes.

Five boys stood in a row in front of the fireplace, using the warmth of the flames to drive away their cold.Ada was sitting in an armchair by the fireplace, flipping through a book on alchemy.

Both wizards and Muggles studied alchemy, and Ada even remembered that some Muggle scientists were also obsessed with alchemy.Of course Ada didn't read these to learn alchemy, she just wanted to know how the Philosopher's Stone can turn stones into gold.

People still have dreams, what if they come true?

Ada regards the Philosopher's Stone as buying a lottery ticket. She has no expectations but has a little hope. Moreover, writing a book seems quite interesting, and watching it is also a good choice to relieve boredom.

However, none of the other five people present except Percy would agree with her idea, and Hermione, who was reuniting at home at the moment, should agree very much.

When you are in school, you will find that time passes very slowly, and you have to go to class every day when you open your eyes.When you are on vacation, you suddenly find that time passes quickly, as if you just closed your eyes last night, and school will start the next day when you open them.

After Christmas, Professor McGonagall and Snape gave Ida a few days to rest, and these relaxing days passed in a blink of an eye.

The students returned to school one after another, and Ada, who hadn't had enough rest, had to devote herself to the intense study life again.

During this busy and fulfilling vacation, Ada forgot Dumbledore's arrangement to Java, and she didn't have time to pay attention to whether Quirrell approached Harry on purpose, or whether Harry would get close to Quirrell. Because of the relationship, she didn't have her own private time until Christmas.

During the private time of the past few days, Ada discovered that Harry might have inherited the glorious tradition of Gryffindor, visiting the castle at night.

Because Ada found that Harry always looked like he couldn't wake up during the day, and his dark circles were also obvious, as if he had been punched by someone.

For several days in a row, Harry looked like this, looking like he was addicted to night swimming.

But after a few days, Harry's dark circles disappeared, and he became very energetic during the day, as if his exploration of the castle had come to an end for the time being.

If Ada stared at the Marauder's Map, she would have discovered the truth of the matter, and she would have seen Harry, who obviously hadn't left the common room, appear in the empty classroom with the Mirror of Erised.

But Ada didn't, not only did she not, but the twins hadn't used the Marauder's Map for a long time, and they didn't need it very much now.

The three of them are probably more familiar with the castle than Filch, and they no longer need external force to avoid the school administrator.

After getting his father's invisibility cloak, Harry couldn't wait to put it on and leave the lounge that night.He could see Ada and the twins sitting by the fireplace talking about Quirrell through the cloak, but the three couldn't see him at all.

Harry, wearing an invisibility cloak, was wandering around the castle, and accidentally found an empty classroom where the Mirror of Erised was stored. He was attracted by the magical power of the mirror, and he saw his parents and relatives in the mirror.

So, Harry would come here wearing an invisibility cloak every night, sitting for a whole night, which was why he had dark circles under his eyes.

Harry also met Dumbledore here, and under his persuasion, Harry stopped coming here to "visit his family", which is why his dark circles disappeared later.

And all of this, Ada didn't know, she was still troubled by her excellence.

I thought that without the selfless care of the two professors after the semester started, Ada would be able to live a more relaxed life, but unfortunately things went against her expectations. Instead of relaxing, she became even busier.

Under Snape's command, in addition to completing the potions on the order with high quality and quantity, Ada also had to make three additional highly poisonous potions and two fire-resistant potions with completely different raw materials.

Especially these two fire retardants, the degree of difficulty is very high, almost impossible in terms of time and heat.Ada was also worried during the production process, for fear that her robe would be burned if she was not careful.

It was also during Snape's personal tutoring that Ida received the news that he was going to referee the Gryffindor and Hufflepuff Quidditch matches.

Ada looked at Snape jokingly. He must be worried about Harry's accident, so he became the referee.Snape turned his back to avoid Ada's eyes, and then threw Ada out of the office. He couldn't bear to look at those curious eyes.

What news could be more explosive than this?What news could annoy Gryffindors more than this?
It can be said that there were almost none, so when Ada broke the news to Oliver Wood, Gryffindor's Quidditch captain lost sleep.

The captain can't sleep well, let alone the team members. Everyone agrees that Snape has bad intentions, because this game is very important to Gryffindor, and they can only compete with Slytherin for Quidditch if they win odd cup.

Snape's eccentricity is well known, and everyone naturally thinks that he served as the referee of this game just to make Gryffindor lose.

Facing the other two teams was better than facing Gryffindor.

Including Fred and George think so, even though they know that Snape is not a villain, they also know that Snape has protected Harry in the game.

But Snape's various "evil deeds" in the past made it hard for them to believe that Snape was just trying to protect Harry, and had no plans for his academy at all.

In this unfavorable situation, Wood can only lead the players to step up training. Even heavy snow and continuous rainy weather can't stop him from leading the players to practice.

And all of this has nothing to do with Ada who tipped the news, because she received a letter from Dumbledore that she was going to receive private guidance from the principal.
