The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 296 Speculation and Rumors
Whether there are werewolves in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts, I am afraid Dumbledore may not be able to make it clear.But the school has existed for so many years, and it has never been heard of a werewolf attacking a student in the school.Ada speculates that there is a high probability that there are no werewolves in the Forbidden Forest.

If there were werewolves, the attack would have happened long ago.During the full moon, werewolves are irrational and sober. They are more ferocious than real wolves. All they have is a thirst for blood and a disregard for life.

A werewolf who is out of his mind doesn't care whether Hogwarts has Dumbledore or not. In the eyes of werewolves, the headmaster is just a lump of old and old meat.

As long as there are students who dare to wander outside the castle, they will become the target of the werewolves, turn into a werewolf's full moon dinner, or be the next lycanthropy patient.

And before that, there was no wolfsbane potion, and a werewolf couldn't suppress the desire for blood and life in his heart.What's more, Ada doesn't think that humans who have been with beasts all year round can maintain enough sobriety and reason in normal times.

Walking into the Forbidden Forest is like walking into a primeval forest. The big trees that block out the sun make the whole forest shrouded in darkness, making it look eerie.Even Hagrid, who frequented the Forbidden Forest, couldn't tell what was inside.

There are countless magical creatures such as unicorns, centaurs, and acromanders.By the way, there is also a blue Ford Anglia car...

It is precisely because there are too many unknowns in the Forbidden Forest that people are fascinated, but it is dangerous after all, and one will lose one's life if one is not careful.Instead of letting the students take risks in the Forbidden Forest, it is better to let the students think that there are werewolves in the Forbidden Forest, at least the werewolves can scare the footsteps of most people.

Obviously, Ada and the twins were not in the range of most people, and they went to the Forbidden Forest three times in the next few days.

The first time they found nothing, so it was a waste of time; the second time they found something, but they followed the paw prints all the way, and finally found a few wolf cubs; Didn't see either.

But Ada and the twins are not all fruitless, at least they saw Mr. Weasley's beloved car.The blue Ford Anglia has a bohemian and free soul, and it has been running in the Forbidden Forest for a year.

Anglia is the same as Dobby the house-elf, they are both "free".

As back-to-school comes to an end, it's not just fifth graders and seventh graders who are on the back of their heads. Everyone's busy.

In addition to normal classes, various study and interest groups have also started activities, and the recruitment of the Quidditch team has also ended. The four college teams are preparing for the Quidditch competition in November.

Ada became a prefect this year, so she naturally couldn't be as comfortable as before. If she wanted to go to the library, she would go to the library, and if she wanted to fight the trial dolls, she would go to the underground secret passage.

Ada's time became somewhat fragmented, and she spent most of her free time patrolling the corridors with Clark Gerald.Moreover, because Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban, the time and frequency of patrolling by the prefects has also increased a lot compared to last year.

You said that Sirius Black is the same, and he lived with the dementors for 12 years. Why did he escape from prison this year? Could it be that the bread made by the new master chef from Azkaban is too hard?
What's funny is the time when Black escaped from prison. He escaped the second day after Minister Fudge went to Azkaban for a face-saving project, which was equivalent to a direct slap in the face of the Minister.

No wonder Fudge was so angry, sent so many dementors out, and dared to stroke Dumbledore's beard.

The minister didn't know where the courage came from, first let the dementors enter Hogwarts, and touched the tiger's butt for the first time.Whoever thought that touching it once was not enough, he was actually addicted to touching it, and wanted to touch it a second time!The case of the Hippogriff has not been resolved. Such a small case has dragged on for so long. Who would believe that there is nothing tricky about it!
It is said that kindness does not command soldiers, and Ada feels that Dumbledore is indeed kind sometimes.

Lucius Malfoy has been making small moves under Dumbledore's noses, and even made big events like the Chamber of Secrets, but Dumbledore let Malfoy lightly, and just kicked him out of the school board.

This may be the master, so stop.If it were Ada, she would definitely make Malfoy regret fighting against her. Even if she wanted to save Malfoy's life, she would suppress him until there was no possibility of turning over, and she would never lightly expose him like Dumbledore. .

Ada believes that whether it is the dementors visiting the Hogwarts Express or stationing around the school, it is Cornelius Fudge's temptation to Dumbledore, and the minister wants to know where the principal's bottom line is.

No one wants to be a puppet for life, and neither did Cornelius Fudge.Although Dumbledore never regarded Fudge as a puppet, and it was the minister who pulled the tiger's skin to pull the banner, but the minister lived in Dumbledore's shadow after all, and it was only natural to be upset in his heart.

Hagrid and his Buckbeak came at exactly the right time, and they could only count themselves unlucky.Who told them to meet Malfoy who was used to domineering.There is no need to drag this case any longer, Ada has already guessed the result, wizards are also politicians!

The surroundings of the school were icy cold due to the roaming dementors, and the lively Hogsmeade in the past was also much cooler, but the school was still peaceful, except for the students who were taking Defense Against the Dark Arts.

It's not that Professor Lupine showed his true colors. His teaching level is obvious to all. He is the best Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher in the past five years.But the most popular Defense Against the Dark Arts professor fell ill and called in sick.

But this class still has to continue. You can't delay the students' study just because the professor is sick, right?As a result, Snape finally got his wish and became a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, although only temporarily.

These were also the happiest few days for Snape since the Boggart incident.During the few days when the potions professor took over as a substitute, he didn't deduct Gryffindor's points very much, and the mean Snape was so kind.

Despite this, the popularity of Defense Against the Dark Arts class fell to the bottom in an instant, tied with Potions class and Divination class for the bottom.

Rumors abounded in the school when Snape replaced Lupine for the second time in October.Roughly speaking, in order to get the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Snape did not hesitate to poison and murder his new colleague Remus Lupine.

Rumors spread so widely that many students felt that this was not impossible.They believed that Snape had planned everything since the beginning of school, and the incident of Boggart's women's clothing was the fuse of the poisoning case.

Take a look, less than two months after the start of school, Professor Lu Ping, who is in his prime, has already asked for sick leave twice.

When Professor Lupine asked for sick leave, Snape was the substitute teacher, and every time Lupine recovered from illness, his face was pale, which made people think that he would die at any time.

But the students apparently forgot that Lupine had been ill from the first day of school.

Even if Snape really wanted to poison and murder the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, why didn't he choose the idiot Lockhart who was less difficult, but Lupine who was more difficult?Just to increase the difficulty of the game?
Rumors spread everywhere, and there were more and more frictions between the Slytherin students and the other three students. Naturally, they wanted to defend their own headmaster. Only the little snakes in Hogwarts would feel that Slytherin Nepe is a good teacher.
