The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 239 The dog that bites doesn't bark
Ada got up early the next morning, and she went to the owl shed alone to deliver a letter.Ada contacts a wizard she met at the Leaky Cauldron, who can help her find a buyer for the acromant venom.

The Leaky Cauldron is full of fish and dragons. As long as you are careful enough, you can find talents from different industries here.What private detectives, spell-breakers, bodyguards, thieves, or second-hand dealers... As long as you pay enough attention, you can find most of the occupations you can think of.

It’s not enough for the Kanban lady to look good. Ada also needs to communicate with the guests and try to get along with them as much as possible.

As a smirk girl, Ada was very successful in the Leaky Cauldron. She met many seemingly useless wizards, but one day unknown, these useless people will provide her with some unexpected help .

The wizard Ada sent the letter to was a second-hand dealer and middleman named Scott Warren.Warren usually makes a living by buying and selling, or matchmaking, so Ida thought of him first.

As for why Warren, the middleman, was allowed to make the difference, it was because Ada found it troublesome and didn't want to expose herself.

The venom of the acromantula is very precious, and this ferocious and brutal spider is not allowed to be kept in humans (Hagrid is breaking the law again).Therefore, when the venom in Ada's hand was released on the market, someone would inevitably ask her about the origin of these giant spider venoms, and ask her about this and that.

It's better to simply hand over the business of venom to Scott Warren, and leave the professional work to professional people, let Warren bargain with the buyer, and just wait to collect the money.

As a professional, Scott Warren, who wanders in the gray area all the year round, keeps secrets as his professional ethics. He doesn't care where the venom in Ida's hands comes from, whether it is legal or not, as long as the venom belongs to the acromantula Will suffice.

Warren will also keep secrets for Ada and not reveal Ada's personal information, which will save Ada a lot of trouble.For people like them, it is common for them to keep their identities for sellers, and it is also their foundation.

The price difference earned from buyers and sellers is the hard-earned money of people like Warren, and it is also their hush money to keep their mouths shut.If these price differences don't shut them up, they can only shut them up forever, and the dead are the best at keeping secrets.

The owl fluttered its wings and flew high until it disappeared from her sight, and Ada did not leave the owl shack.She believed that Warren would soon bring her good news, and that she would soon receive a large sum of gold.

As for whether Warren will cheat, Ida would like him to do so.In this way, Ada can not only get a sum of gold, but also sell the venom of the acromantula again, why not do it?

I really hope that Scott Warren can have a little bit of insight, and play black and white with himself one time, so that he can experience the darkness of human nature and the sinisterness of society.

After leaving the shed, Ada passed the twin rounds and returned to the castle together.

While eating breakfast in the auditorium, Ada noticed that Hermione had disappeared, and she was not seen in the lounge after breakfast.So Ada and the twins blocked Ron and Harry to ask what happened.

Fred and George pinned Harry and Ron to the armchairs in the lounge like two gangsters.During the Christmas holidays, there was no one in the school. Even if we talked about some private things in the lounge, no one would eavesdrop.

"It was the African tree snake skin and the bicorn horn that you three stole, right?" Ada sat cross-legged opposite Harry and Ron. "Woolen cloth!

Under the duress of the "sinister" twins, Harry and Ron nodded honestly.

"Does the compound decoction taste good?" Ada asked again, "The taste must be something you two will never forget, right?"

Ron's facial expression began to contort, as if recalling the disgusting smell of Polyjuice Potion.Harry blurted out, "How do you know we're making Polyjuice Potion?"

George, who was holding Harry's shoulders, said, "Harry, before you came to Hogwarts, Ida could distinguish potions by smell alone, and she could make Polyjuice Potion with her eyes closed."

Although George's words were a bit exaggerated, compound decoction was really child's play to Ida now.What's more, there are not many potions that can use African tree snake skin and bicorn horn as materials at the same time, and a simple elimination method will do.

"Tell me, what did you do with the Polyjuice Potion?" Ada said, "We can exchange information about each other."

After thinking about it for a while, Harry and Ron told Ada and the twins about the conversation in the Slytherin lounge last night, with Harry speaking and Ron supplementing.

Last night the two of them were trying to get some cliché from Malfoy to find evidence that Malfoy was the heir of Slytherin.

It's just that Malfoy disappointed Harry and Ron. He is not the heir of Slytherin at all, and he doesn't know who the heir is. He only knows that the Chamber of Secrets was opened 50 years ago, when a Muggle-born died child.

"He also hopes that at least one person will die this time," Ron considered his words for a while, and then continued, "You, or Hermione, it's best for the two of you together..."

Ada didn't take Malfoy's curse to heart. If Lucius Malfoy said this, then Ada would definitely argue with Mr. Malfoy kindly, but Draco Malfoy, he doesn't deserve it. .

"You two actually think Malfoy is the heir of Slytherin," Fred said with a smile, "just like him, haha..."

George continued happily: "He has completely embarrassed Slytherin. If he is the heir of the old monkey, Slytherin's coffin may not be able to bear it!"

The twins let go of Harry and Ron, and the two brothers held their stomachs and laughed. It had been a long time since they had heard such a good joke.

"How funny!" The twins' wanton laughter made Ron very angry. "Think about it, Malfoy is the most hated Muggle-born student in the school, and our suspicion of him is completely reasonable!"

Harry nodded and echoed, "He talks about... talking about mudbloods every day, and he's always full of malice towards Muggle-born students,"

From Harry and Ron's point of view, there was nothing wrong with their thinking.However, the problem is that they see things too narrowly, they are blinded by Malfoy, and their judgment is affected by hatred.

"Ron, Harry, there are many people in this school who are like Malfoy. They also hate Muggle-born students. They discriminate against and exclude Muggle-born students. It's just that they never say it." Ada said earnestly, "Ron, Harry, remember one sentence: A dog that bites doesn't bark."

There are many pure-blood students at Hogwarts, and few of them are as friendly to Muggle-born students as Weasley, Longbottom, and McMillan.Some of them remain neutral. They will neither have too much contact with Muggle-borns nor discriminate against them.

As for the rest of the pure-blood students, they have the same idea as Malfoy, and most of these people are Slytherin students.They were influenced by their parents and family, which is why they followed Voldemort in the first place. They were willing to be used by Voldemort.

Biting dogs don't bark, and dogs like the Malfoys who can only bark and bark are nothing to be afraid of.The most frightening are those hidden killers, who hide in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to bite you, which is enough to make you fall into the bottomless abyss.

"Where's Hermione?" Ada asked again, "Why isn't she with you?"

Harry and Ron were silent, and they didn't know whether to tell Ada about Hermione.This is Ada. If she knows about Hermione, how will Hermione face her in the future?
