The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 245

In March, several mandrakes held a lively and noisy dance party in the third greenhouse, and Professor Sprout happily announced the good news to the students.This meant that the mandrake would soon be ripe, and Colin Creevey, who was lying in the school infirmary, and Justin Finchrey would soon return to everyone.

The students were cheered up by the news, and everyone was passing the news on to others.

People are used to having mirrors everywhere these days, and they won't be surprised by the mirror around the corner anymore.But Harry didn't get used to it. Not only did he not get used to it, the mirrors that suddenly appeared aroused his vigilance.

Harry thought that Hagrid's identity had been exposed, and the school already knew about the monster in the Chamber of Secrets and found a way to deal with it.Harry became a little irritable. He always believed that the kind-hearted Hagrid was unintentional. Hagrid would not hurt the students. He was very worried that his big friend would be arrested.

Although Harry is a little stubborn and reckless in his actions, he is actually very smart, otherwise he wouldn't be able to memorize the disarming spell just by watching it once.It's just that the opponent Harry met was too powerful, and he himself was too young and inexperienced, so he was influenced by Tom Riddle's diary and easily believed the memory he saw.

A hero and three gangs, fortunately, Harry, Ron and Hermione, the three repeatedly discussed the memories he saw that day.After several discussions, Harry also noticed something was wrong, and he realized that he had made the same mistake as before.

Just like what Ada said to Hermione back then, must what he sees be true, and what he thinks must be right.

Harry stopped being stubborn and began to think carefully. He remembered the information exchanged by Ada and the twins again. He was very sure that he was deceived by Tom Riddle and that Hagrid was not the murderer at all.

The three restarted the discussion on the monster in the secret room, and rearranged what happened. This time they found more doubts.

The future minister, Hermione Granger, stood up. When she spoke, her back didn't hurt, and her legs didn't hurt anymore. Miss Beaver finally stepped out of the shadow of becoming a catwoman.

The mirrors placed in the castle inspired Hermione a lot. She came to the library again, and she finally solved the question of what the monster in the secret room was.

While the three of Harry were busy searching for clues to the Chamber of Secrets, Ada was idle.She no longer has to go to Quidditch practice, she doesn't have to go to the library to roam, and she can even find time every day to walk the dog.

These days, Ada took care of everything by herself, meticulously taking care of Garen who seemed to be sick.Previously, because she had been busy looking for clues, Ada had neglected to take care of Garen, and she was in a free range state, so she hadn't noticed any abnormalities in her pet.

Garen visibly lost weight to the naked eye, and became very vigilant, and even the slightest movement would cause it to bark, which had never happened before.

In addition, Garen was no longer close to Ginny, but was full of fear of her.Every time he saw Ginny, Garen would hide away with his tail between his legs.

Animals are often more sensitive than humans, and their perception of danger is always ahead of humans.Garen's alienation and fear of Ginny attracted Ada's attention, and Ada began to wonder about the changes in Ginny again.

Ginny, who just entered school this year, made Ada feel a little strange. The little girl was either in a trance, or crying, which was very different from the Ginny she was familiar with, as if she had changed.

Ada began to observe Ginny secretly, hoping to find out the reason for the little girl's change.It's a pity that Ada's attention to Ginny was a little too late. Apart from a bad mental state, she couldn't find any other suspicious things about Ginny.

But the more this happened, the more Ada worried that something unusual must have happened to Ginny, which would cause this girl who just entered school to undergo an earth-shaking change.

One night in the middle of the month, Ada planned to continue to observe Ginny, but she unexpectedly received a letter from Dumbledore.The first level of the official university crushed people, and Ada had to go to the appointment on time. This was the first time that Ada spent time alone with Dumbledore this school year.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the curfew time was up, but Ada came to the girls' bathroom.The closed bathroom was constantly overflowing with water, and the ground at the door was covered with sewage, and Dumbledore was standing there waiting for her.

Ada walked over and stood beside Dumbledore, but instead of stepping in the water like Dumbledore, she used magic to prevent the sewage from approaching herself.

At the door of the girls' bathroom, the male principal and the female students, this scene is indescribably weird and inconsistent, reminding Ada of another movie that had a psychological shadow on her.

The bald middle-aged man in the movie left a deep impression on Ada, and made Ada fully feel the malice of this world.Fortunately, although Dumbledore's hair was gray, he did not go bald like other British men, so this sense of déjà vu would not be so strong.

"I'm glad to see your growth this year." Dumbledore broke the silence first.Maybe he also felt a little awkward, the two of them couldn't go on stalemate like this at the door of the girls' bathroom.

For compliments, Ada has always accepted them as they are ordered. She said, "Thank you for the compliment, Professor McGonagall said so."

After speaking, the two fell silent again. Love and hatred are clearly Ada's strengths, but also her weaknesses.

Seeing that Ada didn't want to ask questions, the 100-year-old comrade had no choice but to start a conversation.Dumbledore said, "Ada, do you know why I asked you to come here?"

"Not sure." Ada said honestly, "But it should be related to the Chamber of Secrets, but isn't there only weeping myrtle here?"

"Yes, Moaning Myrtle." Dumbledore said with some sadness, "but I prefer to call her Myrtle Warren."

These words finally made Ada a little interested. She looked at Dumbledore and found that the face of the principal was full of memories. After all, this senior sister who turned into a ghost was once a student of Dumbledore.

Wait a minute, Ada remembered a remarkable thing, she ignored such a key person.

"It seems that you have realized it." Dumbledore said, "Fifty years ago, the Chamber of Secrets was opened. At that time, a female student died, and that female student was Myrtle."

When Ida was in first grade, she once invaded the territory of myrtle.At that time, in order to resist Ada's invasion, Myrtle often whispered her tragic experience in her ear, but Myrtle never mentioned the cause of her death.

Ada, who was so annoyed by the senior, finally left the bathroom and returned the sovereignty of the bathroom to Myrtle.Ada patted her forehead lightly. It turned out that she was so close to the truth, almost within reach.

"Would you like to go in first?" asked Dumbledore. "It's only Myrtle herself, and for some reason she flooded the bathroom again."

Ada nodded, turned the doorknob, and walked into the bathroom alone.Ada stopped in front of a cubicle, and she knocked lightly on the cubicle door.

Immediately Myrtle screamed sharply from the bathroom, and she yelled, "Get out! This is my place! Get out!"
