The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 332 Sirius Black

The loud noise from the direction of the boys' dormitory and the commotion in the common room interrupted the conversation between Ada and Hermione, and Ada realized that something might have happened there.

Pulling out her wand, Ada in her dressing gown rushed out of the dormitory immediately.The unburned embers in the common room gave a little light, and party things were littered here and there.

A strange, thin and tall man appeared at the entrance of the lounge, holding a sharp knife in his hand, and the portrait at the entrance was slowly opening.

Without any hesitation, Ada threw a stun spell directly, and the red light of the spell rushed straight at the tall and thin man at the entrance.The man seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, and turned his body to avoid the stun spell.

Ada quickly ran across the lounge, and at the same time, she didn't stop the movement of her hand, and cast several consecutive spells at the man.But the portrait at the entrance has been opened, which makes the entrance instantly spacious, and the man has enough space to avoid these spells.

But the majesty of Gryffindor's shoulders cannot be violated, and one of the spells still hit the man's shoulder, and his shoulder was instantly stained red with blood.

The bloody wound on his shoulder seemed to irritate the man. He turned around and threw the dangling sharp knife at Ada, then left the Gryffindor common room without looking back, clutching his shoulder.

"Stop! Blake!" Ida yelled.

When the man turned around, Ada had already seen his face and recognized who he was.Ada remembered the demonic roar and smile on the wanted notice the first time she saw it.

The sharp, cold blade rushed straight at Ida, and Ida swung her wand to change the flight path of the sharp knife, causing it to fly back in the opposite direction.But it was too late, Blake had already got out, the portrait closed again, the sharp blade hit the wall behind the portrait, and was bounced away by the hard wall.

Not caring about that much anymore, Ada started flashing and went straight through the portrait, without waiting for the portrait to open again slowly.

But Ada was still a step too late, there was no one in the open space in front of the portrait, only Sir Cadogan asked: "You...how did you pop up all of a sudden?"

"Shut up!" Ada snapped angrily, "I'll settle accounts with you when I come back! You are as hopeless as your story!"

Fortunately, Ada had just wounded Black, leaving Black's blood on the ground.

Ida followed the bloodstains all the way out of the castle. The moon illuminated the whole playground very brightly, and the bloodstains on the ground were also easy to identify.But Ada found that the intervals of bloodstains on the ground were getting bigger and bigger. It seemed that Black had simply dealt with his injuries during the escape.

Ada searched along the bloodstains that became more and more spaced. The bloodstains did not lead to the Whomping Willow or the Twilight Cabin as she expected, but all the way to the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

The Forbidden Forest in the middle of the night was pitch black, as if it had the power to devour everything, and the branches of the trees looked like demons with teeth and claws.Ada raised the yew wood wand to her chest carefully on guard, carefully distinguishing the sounds coming into her ears, and was ready to strike at any time.

When the twins were with her before, Ada had never felt that the Forbidden Forest at night was so scary. Now that she broke into the Forbidden Forest alone, she had to be more cautious.

Ada groped forward while adjusting her shortness of breath from running wildly, but she didn't find anything.

The bloodstains could not be seen clearly at the edge of the Forbidden Forest. Now that he entered the Forbidden Forest, he couldn't tell whether there were bloodstains on the ground. Ada had to stop and rethink the countermeasures.

Suddenly there was a rustling sound, and he turned around and cast a spell directly!
A dazzling white light flashed, but no one fell to the ground in response. There was a voice in the Forbidden Forest. This voice was very familiar to Ada. It was the voice of the principal Dumbledore.

"Every time I see this spell of yours, I am amazed at your talent." Dumbledore walked over slowly holding up his wand, the shimmering light from the tip of the wand illuminating the path under his feet, "But you tonight His behavior is too reckless, he is a fugitive from Azkaban, and he is extremely vicious."

Seeing that it was Dumbledore, Ada breathed a sigh of relief, and she complained dissatisfiedly: "People are scary, scary to death. Does the principal know how scared I was just now!"

"Oh, is Ada, who is not afraid of the sky and the earth, also afraid?" Dumbledore asked curiously, "I thought you were not afraid of anything except the ward!"

The reason people are afraid of the dark is because of the unknown, because you don't know what horrors lie in the dark.

Ada is not afraid of the darkness of the Forbidden Forest, but the dangers hidden in the darkness keep her tense. If there is any disturbance, her brain must be analyzed and processed immediately. This is a very tiring thing .

"Nearly, almost, I caught Black, and I wounded him!" Ada was very dissatisfied with her performance. If she was more decisive and struck harder, she might be able to catch him. .

"You've done a good job, even better than Auror." Dumbledore comforted absently, but this comfort sounded like a curse to Ada.

"Go back, Miss Granger is very worried about you. The way you chased her out frightened her." Dumbledore continued, "If Black really escaped into the Forbidden Forest, we want to catch him today." It's going to be hard for him."

Ada also admitted that the Forbidden Forest was so big that Dumbledore or Hagrid couldn't tell what was inside.

Carrying out a blanket search of the Forbidden Forest is also unrealistic. The creatures in the Forbidden Forest don't care whether Black is a fugitive or not. They will regard the search as an invasion of the Forbidden Forest.

Dumbledore and Ada left the Forbidden Forest, Blake broke into Hogwarts again, and managed to escape the pursuit again.

Ada, who had relaxed her mind, finally felt cold. When she chatted with Hermione, she only wore a cloak over her dressing gown, and the cloak had already been pierced by the cold night wind.

Ada raised her head and looked at Dumbledore. The headmaster also saw through her mind and said, "You don't want an old man over 100 years old to give you his clothes, do you? Besides, aren't you a witch?"

If you don’t give it, you won’t give it, say what you don’t have to do!mean!

While complaining about Dumbledore's stinginess in her heart, Ada cast a cold spell on herself.Magic is indeed able to resist the cold and keep warm, but Ada still prefers to wear thicker clothes, which will make her feel warmer psychologically.

Fortunately, Ada met Hagrid on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, and the half-blood giant put his moleskin coat on Ada.

Ada, who was tightly wrapped by Hagrid, was much bulkier, but her eyes were still agile.She squinted at Dumbledore, her emerald green eyes seemed to be able to speak, but her silent condemnation was once again ignored by Dumbledore.

The team walking towards the castle expanded from two people to three people. In the Gryffindor Tower, in front of Sir Cadogan's portrait, the three saw the angry Professor McGonagall, who was annoyed by Sir Cadogan.

"Sir Cadogan, did you just let a man into Gryffindor Tower?"

"Of course I do, my lord!" cried Sir Cadogan.

There was a stunned silence inside and outside the common room, and Dumbledore fell into silence too, his lowered eyelids making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

"You...you did that?" said Professor McGonagall, "but...but what about the password?"

"He has a password!" said Sir Cadogan proudly. "A week's password, my lady! From a little note!"

Everyone inside and outside the common room looked at Neville Longbottom in unison. The password was written on the note. Only Neville with a bad memory could do such a thing.

Professor McGonagall was about to go mad. First, Cadogan released Black, who almost murdered a student. The password to enter the lounge was accidentally "disclosed" to Black by the student.

This is simply the worst Gryffindor that Professor McGonagall has ever led.

"Who is it?" Professor McGonagall asked weakly, she felt that she should ask Madam Pomfrey to show herself later.

Neville Longbottom raised his hand slowly, shaking from head to toes in his down slippers.
