The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 235 The Unexpected Gift

Chapter 235 The Unexpected Gift

The holding of the Dueling Club did not allow the students to learn anything useful, but instead made the scapegoat on Harry's back blacker and bigger.

Harry inadvertently revealed his Parseltongue, an exhalation sound that sounds similar to "hissing", a very special language ability, and is also regarded as a sign of dark wizards.

Salazar Slytherin himself is the most famous Parseltongue, and his descendants also master the language.The secret room in the school was opened again, and the writing on the wall reminded everyone that the heir of Slytherin had reappeared in the school.

But at this time, Harry unexpectedly exposed his Parseltongue, which undoubtedly proved the students' speculation in disguise. Harry was the descendant and heir of Slytherin, and Harry was the murderer who opened the Chamber of Secrets and attacked the students.

Filch was always making things difficult for the students, and word got out that he was a Squib. How could the heir of Slytherin tolerate the Squib staying at school?

Colin Creevey was a Muggle-born student who was always pestering Harry and taking pictures of Harry, so he was the first student Harry attacked.

Remarks like this became popular in the school, and the students all believed that Harry was the murderer.It was just that there was no evidence, and Harry Potter, who committed the crime, could not be caught on the spot.

Harry suffered another first-year gap, and this time it was even worse than in first year.

The students talked about him in private, and everyone would avoid him, stay away from him, as if they would be petrified by his pet if they got close to him.

When it comes to who the most disturbed person in the school is, everyone will insist that the most disturbed person is Justin Finch.

The Hufflepuff boy confides in Harry about himself, telling Harry about his Muggle origins.Because of his quick talk, Finlay had to hide in the Hufflepuff common room to prevent Harry from hurting him.

To this end, Harry also had a big fight with the pure-blood Ernie McMillan.McMillan is a staunch supporter and disseminator of the "Harry Murder Theory".

Not long after, Justin Finch, who was in hiding, was attacked.He lay on the floor, cold and stiff, with a look of horror frozen on his face, his eyes fixed on the ceiling.

Nearly Headless Nick, who was attacked with Finlayley, had the same terrified expression on his face as Finlayley.

The already jittery atmosphere turned into genuine panic as the Christmas break came and students scrambled to escape the school, not wanting to be in Hogwarts for a moment.

The castle was a little too deserted, as if it was not Christmas holiday, but summer vacation, and it seemed that the school had been closed due to the attack.

Christmas in 1992 came in such a deserted atmosphere, this year's Christmas is destined to be an extraordinary Christmas, because the two groups of Gryffindor's Big Three are planning to do something big today.

The dawn of Christmas came, the weather was cold, and there was snow all around.Ada was the only one in the dormitory, and she unwrapped the gifts piled at the foot of the bed one by one, enjoying a moment of peace.

The gifts she received were similar to previous years, Professor McGonagall's new clothes, Mrs. Weasley's handmade sweaters and candies, and daily necessities from her friends.

As the age grows, everyone seems to be less looking forward to Christmas, and the gifts are not as carefully prepared as before.

Just like in her previous life, Ada always looked forward to the New Year when she was a child, because she could have new clothes to wear and delicious food that she couldn't usually eat.But when I grow up, I always say that the taste of the New Year is dull, and the New Year is boring, and even the time for shooting the cannons is not uniform.

One after another, the packing boxes were opened, and at the end of the opening, Ada found that there was an extra box.The box is not big enough to be held in one hand, and there is no signature on it. Ada doesn't know who gave it to her.

Ada held the box and shook it to her ear, but the gift box made no sound.Ada put the box on the ground again, took out the gold-rimmed glasses and put them on. She stood far away from the box, covered her mouth and nose, and pointed at the box with her wand.

Under the effect of the spell, the gift box was opened, and there was nothing strange in the box, and no monsters emerged, only a bracelet lying quietly on the silk.

The bracelet is made of gold and engraved with two lifelike griffins, one of the symbols of Gryffindor, representing control of the earth (lion) and sky (eagle).

There are also four red gemstones embedded in the gold bracelet, which emit dazzling brilliance under the sunlight in the morning.

Expensive, very expensive, very expensive, this is Ada's first impression of this bracelet.Ada checked the bracelet carefully, but she didn't find any dangerous smell on the bracelet, it was just an ordinary gold bracelet.

Among the people Ada knew, there was no one who could give such an expensive gift, and even sent it anonymously without batting an eye.

Grindelwald, far away in Austria, may have been very rich, and his name is not suitable for appearing. It is completely reasonable to give gifts anonymously.But the first generation Dark Lord would not give Ada jewelry, or this kind of luxurious jewelry, not to mention that Nurmengard is so poor that he almost can't get rid of it.

Then who sent this priceless gold bracelet?
At the Christmas dinner at Hogwarts, everyone ate with gusto, including Ida, who was full of question marks, and Harry, who was about to drink the compound soup.

In the Great Hall there were not only frost-covered Christmas trees, with thick friezes of mistletoe and holly, but enchanted snow, warm and dry, falling softly from the ceiling.

Dumbledore led the crowd in a few of his favorite Christmas carols, and Hagrid's voice grew louder as he downed glass after glass of eggnog.

Percy, oblivious to the fact that Fred had bewitched his prefect badge so that it read "dumb," kept asking what everyone was laughing at.

At this moment, Ada also let go of her troubles. The chamber of secrets, the heir of Slytherin, the unidentified stalker, the gold bracelet of unknown origin, everything is not as good as this moment, not as sweet as the eggnog in the glass.

As the night darkened, the two groups of Gryffindor's Big Three began their actions.Harry, Ron, and Hermione went to the girls' bathroom and took the compound potion, while Ada and the twins walked out of the castle and walked deep into the Forbidden Forest.

As the moonlight shines, Ida and the twins walk across the playground and into the Forbidden Forest.When passing by Hagrid's cabin, Hagrid's frightening singing was also heard.

Fred and George cast a beam of light from the tip of their wands, illuminating the path under their feet, trying to find the shadow of the spider in the snow.Ada spread out her right hand, the wand was flat on her hand, and she whispered, "Show me the way!"

The wand began to spin horizontally in Ada's hand, and stopped firmly after a few seconds.Ada led the twins towards the direction indicated by the wand. As they got deeper, the moonlight above their heads became weaker and weaker.

Just stop and go like this, after about half an hour, Ida and the twins were completely plunged into darkness, the only light was the magic wand in the hands of the twins.

The three of them walked through the pitch-black bushes, pushed aside the dense branches, and the road under their feet suddenly became wider.They also found some animal remains on the ground. The three of them looked at each other, and they knew that they were not far from the spider nest.

Descending along a steep slope, thick spider webs can be seen everywhere, and soon Ada and the twins came to the edge of a wide depression.Among the fallen leaves and snow, the three found a hole covered by spider webs.

Ada pointed the wand at the thickest web, and the wand slid from top to bottom.It was as if the spider web had been cut by a sharp knife, creating a gap, and the gap was getting bigger and bigger. After a while, it was enough for three people to enter side by side.

Raising the wand above her head, the tip of Ada's wand burst into bright light, illuminating the three of them as well as the hole in front of them.

Countless spiders huddled together at the entrance of the cave, densely packed. Fortunately, none of the three had a phobia of dense objects, otherwise they would have fainted before they got into the spider's nest.

Looking in along the opening of the hole, the spiders get bigger and bigger the further you go inside, some even bigger than a horse.

"Fred, George, are you ready for the acromantia snack?" Ada said with a smile.

"No, no, no, we don't want to feed spiders," said Fred. "We're here to pick spiders."

Looking in the direction of the castle, George continued, "I hope little Ronnie will like the Christmas present we gave him."
