The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 18 Night Tour
In this way, under the careful guidance of Professor McGonagall, Ada has made great progress in Ai's transfiguration.One theory class, one practical class, the two are carried out alternately. Now let alone changing a match into a needle, even using a match to turn it into a beautiful cup, Ada can easily do it.

Professor McGonagall believes that in terms of transfiguration alone, he is far behind Ada when he is at Ada's age.In the past fifteen days, Professor McGonagall has seen Ada's progress every day, and this talent even makes her a little envious.

It's a pity that the happy time is always short-lived. The half-month period called confinement is actually the end of the life of making up lessons.Professor McGonagall feels that what Ada needs most now is to master all the things she has learned, and teaching it will be a bit cramming, so she has no idea of ​​continuing the course.

Ada really wanted to continue to eat small stoves, and she was taught by a famous teacher on the way to study. Naturally, the more good things like this, the better.She even felt that she should make a small mistake, and then be imprisoned by Professor McGonagall for half a month.

Unfortunately, this idea was seen through by the shrewd Professor McGonagall, and this plan had to be aborted.

Life has returned to its original state. Ada is either brushing up the proficiency of the system to improve her abilities, or playing with the twins to adjust her own state.

Cody Avery has also been very honest recently, as if the annoying kid before was just an illusion.I don't know if he figured it out in the school infirmary, or because he was frightened by Snape's confinement. In short, Avery is keeping a low profile now.

Thinking about it, besides Draco Malfoy, there should be no one who is so strong, who can tirelessly provoke a person for seven years.Every time I hit my head badly, and then patted the dust on my body to get up and continue to entangle, tirelessly and never bored.

Repeated battles and repeated defeats, repeated defeats and repeated battles, this kind of behavior of becoming more and more courageous after frustration, I really can't think of other words to describe it except for the iron.

One night in October, Ada, who finished her day in the brush, was lying on the bed bored.Angelina and Alia in the same dormitory are discussing fiercely whether the Heidelberg Hounds are better or the Fratza Eagles are more powerful.

The two Quidditch lovers compared each other from player roster and lineup composition to the team's historical honor and popularity. In the end, there was no result from the comparison, and no one could convince the other.

Last weekend, Ada accompanied her friends to watch the Gryffindor Quidditch match. The game was very exciting, but the result was not satisfactory, and Gryffindor lost the game.

It had been years since Gryffindor had last won the Quidditch Cup.Now that the old players who won the championship have graduated, and the new players are far from reaching the height of their predecessors, it is tantamount to wishful thinking for the young Gryffindor to want to win the Quidditch again.

The debate between Angelina and Alia was still going on, but the content was changed to two other teams. It was obviously a movie of three people, but Ada still couldn't have a name.

In a daze, Ada felt that she should have fallen asleep, but she could still hear Angelina and Alia going to bed and saying good night to each other.

【Ding!How can you not go on a night tour when you are a student at Hogwarts?Before the end of the Christmas holiday, complete ten successful night tours, and you can receive the Disillusionment Charm as a reward! 】

With a bang, Ada sat up, and the original drowsiness was driven away by the ding.

Judging from the rewards, Ada was very excited.The illusion spell is a very advanced spell, which can achieve the purpose of invisibility by changing the color of a person's lines.The deeper the caster's understanding of the spell, the stronger the mana, and the better the spell's effect.

Although the Disillusionment Charm can't really make people invisible, there is a possibility of being seen through, but its effect is much stronger than many invisibility cloaks on the market, and Ada can't afford to buy it.

It's just that Ada is a little bit resistant to the night tour mentioned in the mission itself.She has a lot of things to do every day, and she needs enough sleep to rest her brain after a tiring day, which will allow Ada to be a better brusher the next day.

Furthermore, Ada was very worried that if she didn't get enough rest, she would die suddenly with a "crack" one day, so she had to guard against it.

Another point is that she is worried that it will affect her height. Ada is a little short now, and she often needs to look up at others.Ada wanted to be taller, she didn't like the feeling of looking up to other people.

Besides, the ghost knows what weird things will happen at night in an ancient castle that has existed for thousands of years!If you believe the Hogwarts slogan that Hogwarts is the safest place in the world, then you're an idiot, and the dumbest kind, the kind that can't be saved.

The Weasley twins, who are very adventurous, have already gone on a night swim. They have invited Ada to form a team many times, but Ada rejected them all.

Through chatting with the two, Ada naturally knew that the first danger she would face was the school administrator Filch.Filch wandered around the castle every night, hunting down the brats who were wandering the corridors instead of lying in bed.

After struggling for a while, Ada, who really couldn't resist the temptation of the Disillusionment Curse, rolled over and got out of bed.It was already very deep at night, and there was only the sound of two roommates breathing evenly in their sleep.

She changed into a light suit, a pair of soft-soled shoes, and finally put on a robe and left the bedroom.The light clothes are for the convenience of movement, the dark robe is more convenient to cover up the figure in the night, and the soft-soled shoes are for making as little noise as possible when walking.

After leaving the door of the common room, the "door god" fat lady who was disturbed to rest was very unhappy, and gave Ada a hard look.The moonlight spilled into the tower where Gryffindor was located through the glass window, and the ground was silvery white, and Hogwarts at night was displayed in front of Ada for the first time.

The torches in the corridor were weak and could only illuminate a small part of the surrounding area, and most of the long corridor was shrouded in darkness.

"Luminescence!" Ada chanted in a low voice, and the tip of the wand lit up with a soft light.Ada didn't dare to adjust the brightness of the light group too high. The bright light in the dark night was like a living target, basically telling Filch that there is someone here, come and catch it!

With the help of the faint light of the fluorescent spell, Ada wandered cautiously in the corridor. She carefully distinguished whether the voice coming from not far away was the whisper of the portrait, or something that threatened her existence.Like Filch's accomplice, his skinny cat, Mrs. Loris.

This thin cat made a great contribution to Filch's capture of the students.It fully integrates the cat's keen senses and dexterity into its work, and often finds students inadvertently, and then leads his master Filch to find these troublemakers. It is almost impossible to guard against.

It can be said that Mrs. Loris was partly to blame for the students' dislike of Filch.

Ada raised her wand and proceeded cautiously.She saw that Hogwarts was different from the daytime, there were fewer noisy students coming and going, and the colorful portraits on weekdays also fell asleep.Ada suddenly felt that it was not a bad thing to go on a night excursion once in a while, and it was quite interesting.

There was a sound in the distance, and Ada listened carefully. It was not the voice of the portrait, but more like two people talking about something.

At first, Ada thought that she had met two "like-minded" people, thinking that other students were also on night tours.But when she got closer to the source of the voice, she found that these two voices were very familiar to her, one was Snape, who she hated, and the other was from Defense Against the Dark Arts professor Benedict Foley.

Ada should have escaped, and being caught by the professors was no different from being caught by Filch, especially if it fell into Snape's hands, it was horrible to think about it.

Obviously wanting to leave, but driven by curiosity, Ada's footsteps are constantly approaching, human beings are always so contradictory.Everyone knows the proverb "curiosity killed the cat", but humans still can't suppress their curiosity.

After extinguishing the Luminescent Charm and lowering her wand, Ada pressed tightly against the wall of the corridor, listening to the conversation of the two professors at the corner landing.

"Severus, Severus..." This is the voice of Professor Foley, usually he behaves elegantly and personably, like the nobleman in the story, but just now his voice is full of anxiety, Like a helpless child.

"What on earth do you want to do?" Professor Snape's voice was still the same as before, very soft, but it floated farther in this silent night.

"I just wanted to... I just wanted to find something..."

"Looking for something? Then what are you looking for? Wandering around the castle like an idiot."

There was a rustling sound, and Ada sounded like Professor Snape was pulling Foley's collar.As for why it wasn't Foley who went after Snape, Ada thought that Foley shouldn't have the guts.

"One very important thing, Severus, I can't be found...especially Dumbledore..." The usual composure was gone, replaced by panic, and his voice sounded a little trembling.

"You've been discovered, Professor Foley," said Snape, emphasizing his tone when he was still addressing Professor Foley.

This should have given Fuli a great sense of oppression, because Ada could feel that Fuli's tone was getting more and more flustered.

"Help me, Severus, please... this is very important..." There was some pleading in his tone.

"Why should I help you?"

"This world shouldn't be like this. Neither Hogwarts nor the wizarding world should be like this. This is something that can change the world..." Professor Foley's tone suddenly became holy. Like a missionary, except that his missionary process was forcibly terminated by Snape.

"Shh!"

Both of them fell silent, and then there was a slight sound of footsteps, and the footsteps were coming towards Ada!
Ada held her breath, and her body got closer to the wall. She felt that someone would appear around the corner in the next second, pointing at her with a wand, and chanting a curse!
