The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 24 Blushing Adolescence
Among the group of students who had left the auditorium earlier, uneasiness still existed.In a school where a student is attacked, it's hard not to scare other students.

Charlie Weasley led the way with a wand in his hand and several senior students who also held wands. He loudly comforted the Gryffindor students.

"Don't be afraid, the professors will definitely find the perpetrator, you have to trust Professor Dumbledore, he is the most powerful wizard in the world!"

Under the leadership of the seniors, the team moved forward slowly.A few of the more timid students were a little out of control, and began to cry softly.

Several senior seniors squeezed through the crowd and came to them, comforting their broken emotions softly, and they gradually stopped crying under the comfort of their elder sister.

Ada, Angelina and Aaliyah were protected by the three boys Fred, George and Lee Jordan, and the six of them were surrounded by others in the middle of the entire Gryffindor team.

Gryffindor put all the first- and second-year little devils in the middle of the team, so that they would not be separated, and it would be easier for them to be protected by the seniors.

"Percy still cares about you two!" Ada said to the twins. Just now, Percy Weasley deliberately squeezed through the crowd to care about his two little brothers.

Seeing that the two brothers were all right, Percy returned to his classmate.But before leaving, he specifically told Fred and George not to go anywhere, and followed the team back to the common room honestly, otherwise he would definitely tell Mrs. Weasley.

The twins were a little surprised by Percy's unexpected behavior just now. The annoying Percy actually started to care about their safety, although his tone was as unpopular as ever.

"Maybe his conscience found out."

"Finally realized our goodness."

Fred and George took full advantage of their twins' strengths and sang together.The twins are actually very happy that their elder brother can care about themselves, but they are stubborn and refuse to show it.

"I think he just doesn't want you two to go out and make trouble." Lee Jordan interjected.This sentence is actually unnecessary, although what Lee Jordan said may be close to Percy's thoughts.

"Li, if you shut up now, then we are still good friends." The twins said together.Fred and George really want to cover Lee Jordan's mouth now, and then treat him with "cruel and inhumane" care.

"This is Hogwarts, who dares to attack the students here?" Angelina asked, and she and Alia Spinnet beside her held each other's hands, giving each other courage.

It can only be said that Angelina is still too young, and she will get used to this kind of thing after a lot of experience.

"I don't know, but since he dared to do this, it shows that the murderer has the courage and determination to face everything." Ada said.

In her heart, Ada tried to connect the attack with Snape and Foley. It wasn't that Ada cared about the truth, but she was more worried about her own safety.

She really hoped that this matter had nothing to do with Snape and Foley, so that she could be relatively safe and live without fear.

If there is really a connection between the two, then she must be extremely careful in the future.Until the day when the truth came to light, she had to be fully alert to guard against possible attacks.

"I believe Professor Dumbledore can handle everything," said George.

"Even though he's an old bee with a sweet tooth, he can do anything," said Fred, giving his twin a high-five.

Angelina and Alia nodded in agreement, and Li Qiaodan also meant the same.

Seeing how everyone trusted Dumbledore so much, Ada couldn't help but have a question in her heart: Has Dumbledore ever been to the far east and learned some great magic there?Everyone Ada knew trusted him unconditionally and adored him.

"Do you know who was attacked?" Ada asked.She intends to think about the problem from another angle, to see if she can find a breakthrough from the victim.

"It is said to be Hufflepuff's fifth grade student Daniel Bell." Lee Jordan whispered, "I just heard what the Hufflepuff students said."

Ada looked at Li Qiaodan with some surprise. She just asked casually just now, adhering to the spirit of fighting three poles. She really didn't expect that Lee Jordan could really give herself an answer.

Lee Jordan's small speaker is fine, and the young man will be sorry for his ability if he doesn't do broadcasting in the future.

"Is the news accurate?" George asked in a low voice, whispering like an underground joint.

"At present, it is the most reliable news. His roommate said that he did not go to class in the afternoon. At that time, everyone thought he was resting in the dormitory, but they did not find him after returning to the dormitory." Lee Jordan said.

"The others, too, haven't seen him since the afternoon. At the banquet, Filch said that some students were attacked, and they immediately thought of Daniel Bell..." Lee Jordan will hear Hufflepuff's discussion Shared it with everyone.

After listening to Lee Jordan's words, Ada thought about it carefully: This classmate Daniel disappeared in the afternoon. If he is really a victim, does it mean that the time of the attack was before the banquet, or even earlier!
It's just that Ada doesn't understand why he was attacked?
From what Li Qiaodan said later, it can be heard that this Daniel is a good student, and he can even be said to be a person who has no sense of existence. Why is such an "inconspicuous" boy involved in the attack?
The marching crowd finally returned to the Gryffindor tower, and the fat lady opened the entrance directly when she saw the crowd coming back, without even asking for the password.

The senior students at the front of the line moved out of the way so that the younger students could enter the common room first.They didn't follow in until the lower grade students had already entered.

With the influx of students, the common room became crowded, and the armchairs were filled with people. After returning to the common room, everyone's nervousness finally eased.

Charlie Weasley and another female prefect began to roll the roll and check the number of students year by year to ensure that everyone came back.After checking, most of the people returned to the dormitory, and a small number of people chose to stay in the lounge.

Ada and the Weasley brothers occupied the two armchairs near the fireplace after everyone had left.

Charlie Weasley and several other senior students stood near the entrance to the common room passage to prevent anyone from entering, and also prevented the students in the courtyard from leaving.

The senior students were divided into three groups to stand guard. Charlie and the others were the first group, and others would replace them in the middle of the night.

These people are also communicating with each other in low voices, and they are also very concerned about this matter.After all, ever since they entered this school, the only high-risk occupation was teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Charlie, who was standing guard, glanced at the three Adas sitting by the fireplace. His two troublesome younger brothers did not run around, but kept circling around Ada honestly, which made Charlie very relieved.

Sitting in the armchair, holding the cushions in her arms, Ada said to Fred and George, "Have you heard of any other attacks at the school?"

"No, Charlie didn't say that." Fred recalled, he really hadn't heard anything like that mentioned before.

"Bill didn't say anything, and neither did Mom and Dad." George went on.

"You seem to pay special attention to this matter?" the twin brothers asked. Ada, who is usually indifferent to many things, is very abnormal today.

Although it is not certain whether this incident is related to Snape and Foley, Ida still has no intention of telling the two brothers about this incident, and she does not want to drag them into the water.

"It's just a little bit worried. A student was attacked. Don't you worry?" Ada leaned back against the back of the armchair, perfunctory the two of them.

"Worried, but not to the extent that you are, and your worry is a little too much," Fred said. "It's as if you were the one being attacked."

"When did your guts become like Percy's stinky mouse? You're weird today! No, you've been weird lately. You don't look like you anymore, and you often show a worried look inadvertently look," said George.

The twin brothers are actually very smart, they just didn't put their minds on their studies.At the same time, their observation skills are also very keen. They knew that Ada was hiding something in her heart, but if Ada didn't tell her, they didn't ask. It's normal for friends to hide some little secrets.

Fred said: "At first we thought you were not feeling well." "It just felt that the time was not right..."

George was half-sentenced, and suddenly stopped.The faces of the two brothers turned red visible to the naked eye, just like freshly cooked crabs.

Ada, whose face was as red as a ripe tomato, suddenly understood what it meant to be "the most afraid of the sudden silence of the air, and the sudden concern of friends..."

Silence, silence is Hogwarts tonight.

"I just have some troubles recently, but I can't tell you yet." Ada, who was thick-skinned enough, took the lead to break the awkward atmosphere.

Brothers Fred and George sat next to Ada, one on the left and the other on the right.

Fred put his hand on Ada's left shoulder and said, "Ahem... I don't want to talk about it for now, I'll wait until the day you want to talk about it."

George on the right also put his hand on Ada's shoulder, and said, "We are your friends and your strong backing!"

"Although this shield is a bit small now, it's still a shield no matter how small it is!" The twins patted Ada's shoulder vigorously together.

The actions and words of the two brothers warmed Ada's heart, but his hands were a bit strong.Ada feels lucky to have someone she can rely on when she is helpless.

With a muffled voice, Ada said to the two apologetically, "I'm sorry, Fred and George, I will tell you as soon as I think it over!"
