The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 44 Defense Against the Dark Arts Lesson
Ada, who didn't ask anything from Snape, had to leave, followed by a little tail.Seeing Ada's leaving figure, Snape also walked out of the dungeon, and he walked to the eighth floor of the castle. He felt that he should have a good talk with Dumbledore.

Ada walked in front, and Winnie the house-elf followed respectfully.

"Winnie, how long have you been at Hogwarts?" Ada turned to talk to the elf Winnie.

Winnie raised her head, her eyes the size of tennis balls fluttered, and she said, "Miss, Winnie has been at Hogwarts since she was born, and it has been 11 years."

"Then let me ask you, has Professor Snape always been like this?"

"Miss, Winnie is useless. Winnie doesn't know about Mr. Snape's situation. Winnie is only in charge of cleaning the school." The little elf Winnie blamed herself, with her big head hanging down, as if she would cry at any time flow out.

"I can't blame you, Snape is really hard to see. You said that it would be great if he was like Hagrid, and he would be able to give me an answer, and save me from guessing. ’” Ada said.

"Mr. Hagrid always makes a mess of the castle..."

Ada also thought about Hagrid's usual appearance. It's quite normal for the elves in charge of the castle not to like him, but Snape's long greasy hair should also make the elves feel awkward.

When entering the common room, the elf Winnie handed Ada a tray full of food and a jug of juice, bowed to Ada before leaving.

On Saturday, the Gryffindor Quidditch match started, and the Gryffindor students gathered together, holding various banners and making loud noises to cheer for Gryffindor.

Ada and the twins mingled in the crowd and yelled to cheer up, but they also spared no effort.

The game was full of ups and downs, and it was very exciting. Thanks to Charlie's efforts, Gryffindor's offense played very smoothly, and Gryffindor took the lead at the beginning of the game.

Charlie deserves to be the captain. He not only has excellent skills, he can score by himself, but he can also use his restraint to help his teammates get opportunities.At the same time, he can command players in other positions well, kneading all Gryffindor players into a whole.

Goalkeeper Wood also played very well today. He blocked many difficult shots from Ravenclaw in a row, and tried to keep the knocker. It is precisely because of his excellent performance that Gryffindor will always maintain the lead in the game , was not overtaken by Ravenclaw.

The other players also performed their duties and contributed their own strength to this game.

After two hours of the game, the Golden Snitch was finally picked up by the Gryffindor Seeker, and Gryffindor, who was united as one, won the game.

The Gryffindor students in the stands burst into loud cheers and stomping.Fortunately, the viewing stand is very strong and has not been trampled by the excited students.Professor McGonagall was also very happy. She clenched her fists and cheered vigorously, and her original serious look disappeared.

The Gryffindor students surrounded the players back to the castle, dancing, laughing and laughing all the way, celebrating the victory of the game.In the atmosphere of Gryffindor celebration, the Hogwarts kitchen was "ransacked", and the house elves bowed together to send off the lion cubs who returned home with a full load.

These days, Ada has not forgotten the welfare of poor health, and has been watching his every move. It's not that Ada cares about his health, but that all of Ada's doubts point to welfare in the end.

Especially in recent events, when the four academies were forcibly broken into, the welfare had sufficient time.After Foley stopped searching the castle, the theft of Ravenclaw happened.Foley had left the infirmary when Slytherin was stolen in March, and he could have done it in his full health.

When two colleges, Hufflepuff and Gryffindor, were visited by uninvited guests, Foley appeared in the school infirmary, which could remove some of his suspicions.But Ada knew Fu Fu's secret, so Fu Fu not only failed to clear her suspicion, but aggravated it.

What's more, Fuli's injury was not serious during that time, and it would not delay his action.And an excellent wizard like Fuli doesn't have any means and cards, Ada doesn't believe it.

What Ada wasn't sure about was Daniel's attacker, and who had actually broken into the Forbidden Forest.That's why Ada asked Snape, but Snape didn't give her an answer at all.

Ada can only rely on these discoveries of her own to set her sights on the most suspected welfare. As for whether he was wronged or not, it has nothing to do with her.She didn't go to complain to Dumbledore, nor did she write a letter to the Ministry of Magic or the "Daily Prophet". She didn't even count it as a framed accusation. She didn't need any evidence to support her suspicion.

Foley is so reclusive these days that you hardly see him except in Defense Against the Dark Arts classes.How much Ada hopes that in addition to the real-time function, the Marauder's Map can also record changes that occur within a certain period of time.

It's a pity that the Marauder's Map failed to meet Ada's extravagant requirements, and it is impossible for Ada to stare at the map 24 hours a day. If Fuli's actions happened when Ada was not paying attention to the map, then Ada would not be able to find him at all. His handle.

In Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Ada sat on her seat and pretended to read a book, but her eyes glanced at Welfare on the podium from time to time.Fuli's face was a little pale. It's not known whether it was because he was always injured or he hadn't had a good rest. The originally handsome man became very haggard.

Since Benedict Foley was accidentally injured by a student in class, all the practice in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class has been cancelled. Although Foley did not explicitly say that students should not take out wands, but now there are no wands in his class Useful.

Foley followed the scriptures on the podium and read the contents of the book word by word. In stark contrast to him who was humorous and witty before, he is now advancing rapidly towards the style of Professor Binns.

The recent Defense Against the Dark Arts classes have been like this, either because he was injured and suspended, or just as perfunctory as today.Everyone has complained about this, but just looking at his miserable appearance, many people's hearts softened.

Human hearts are fleshy, and everyone is embarrassed to persecute the unlucky benefits too much, so this course has become the lifeless look it is today.

The students are busy with their own things downstairs, sleeping, doing homework, and doing everything.Foley acts as a ruthless reading machine on stage, just like the history of magic, the two sides do not interfere with each other and do not disturb each other.

It's just that Foley's hypnosis skills are far worse than that of Professor Binns, and the sleep quality of the students who choose to sleep is not as good as History of Magic.

After class, the haggard-looking Fuli stopped Ada who was about to leave.

"Miss Drizzt, wait a minute."

Ada, who was stopped, was a little surprised, almost thinking that she was taking a Potions class.She turned back and said, "Professor Foley, what's the matter?"

"Come with me, I need your help with something." After Fuli finished speaking, he walked into a small room in the classroom.

Ada frowned. She didn't know which song Fuli sang. Ada wondered if Fuli had discovered her eavesdropping.However, in front of everyone, the benefits of leaving her behind should not do anything.

Ada followed Foley into the hut calmly, suppressing all her emotions so that Foley could not see her expression.

"I borrowed two books from the library before, but I haven't returned them due to physical reasons." Fuli took out two books from the bookshelf in the hut, "You often go to the library, can you please return them for me? "

"No problem, professor." Ada took the book and said to Fuli, "Professor, you must take care of your health. Everyone supports you." Ada pretended to be Fuli's support group.

"Thank you, I will be careful." Fuli said with a smile, "I haven't finished my work yet, how could I give up?"

"Professor, is there anything else?" Ada said, holding the book in her arms, and Fuli's words made her have some associations.

"No more, let's go." Foley said, leaning weakly on a table and sitting down.

Ada hugged the book and started to walk out. She felt that there was something in Fuli's words, as if she was testing herself.

Foley, who was sitting on the seat, said to Ada who came to the door: "I heard that you were always running around the castle a while ago?"

Ada, who turned her back to Foley, felt cold sweat on her forehead. She tried to keep her voice steady, and she replied: "The whole Gryffindor was doing this at the time, so I followed them in the castle. Turn around."

"I don't mean to blame you, you also want to do something for the school." Fuli said, "Go, just don't go the wrong way when delivering books for me."
