The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 148 Don't Compete with Ada

The atmosphere in the carriage became more and more tense. When Malfoy saw Flint coming, he felt that he was in good shape again. Flint's fighting ability was much stronger than Crabbe and Goyle, and he did not come alone.

More and more people gathered to watch the fun, and they showed their willingness to watch a funeral without fear of a big funeral. They were eager for the two gangs to fight. Gryffindor versus Slytherin, tit for tat, what an exciting scene!

And everyone also wanted to see if Esmeralda Drizzt was as scary as the juniors said. Seeing is believing, and many people didn't understand what Ada had just done. They had no idea what was going on. How did these two followers fall down?

The other students' discussions naturally reached Malfoy's ears, and his burning heart cooled down again. From these discussions, Malfoy learned that the blond girl opposite was named Drizzt, and he also knew that it was a mistake for him to provoke Drizzt today.

Malfoy was a little wronged, he just wanted to get to know Harry Potter, not to pick a fight. He came with sincerity, but he didn't know that he not only failed to get to know Harry Potter, but also had a conflict. He didn't expect Drizzt to stand up for the insignificant Weasley.

Ada took out her wand from her pocket. She felt that she should show some respect to Flint, a repeater, so she didn't go empty-handed. Ron was a little worried that he would cause trouble for Ada, so he pulled Ada's sleeve, and Ada gave him and Harry a reassuring look in return.

Seeing Ada take out her wand, Marcus Flint's pupils shrank, and his heart skipped a beat. He stopped the Slytherin who was about to move and said humbly, "Miss Drizzt, Draco and I are old friends. Please give me three minutes to understand the situation."

Why don't you ask me to give you a song? Ada thought to herself, but she nodded and agreed, and put away her wand. She felt that she couldn't fight anymore.

Ada waved her hand at the snacks on the seat in the box, and three chocolate frogs flew into her hands. She threw one to each of the twins and kept one for herself.
No one saw how Ada knocked down Crabbe and Goyle before, but this time everyone saw her grab the Chocolate Frog with her bare hands.

"Wandless magic!" There were still some people who knew what was going on among the crowd, and their exclamations also let more people know what happened. However, as the story spread, it changed from Ada being able to cast magic without a wand to Ada being able to kill a strong man with her bare hands. If it spread, it would become even more terrifying!

Flint whispered a few words to Malfoy. It took him less than three minutes to know what happened. He wanted to ask Malfoy: "Little ancestor, why did you come to meet Harry Potter? Have you forgotten what the adults in our family do for a living? It's fine to come to meet Harry Potter, but why did you offend that little girl Drizzt?"
After Flint was taught a lesson by Ada last year, he naturally did not accept it, so he wrote a letter to his family to seek revenge. However, the reply from his family not only did not help him to take revenge, but instead asked him to endure it because his parents had just been beaten.

"Miss Drizzt, can we just let this matter go? It's just a verbal conflict between children." Flint persuaded. He still wanted to protect Draco. The support of the Malfoy family was very important to the Flint family.

"I just want an apology. Is it so hard to say 'I'm sorry'?" Ada said, "I just apologized for my brother's rude behavior."

This was originally a small matter, she had already bowed her head, as long as Malfoy bowed his head, this matter would naturally pass. It was a pity that Malfoy was too concerned about his reputation, which led to the current situation.

Flint still wanted to give it a try. He continued to persuade her, "Miss Trist, this is not a big deal. Draco's father..."

Ada didn't like people competing with her about their fathers. She put her hands back in her pockets and asked with a smile, "Is Mr. Malfoy's father Voldemort?"

When they heard these three words, the breathing of everyone around them stagnated. The sounds of shivering and knocking things over became one. Flint, Malfoy and the other Slytherins behind him also shivered and showed expressions of fear.

The fear of Voldemort is rooted in the hearts of every wizard. They are not only afraid of the magic attached to the name, they are afraid of the name itself, even though he has been defeated by Harry Potter.

"No...no." Flint said tremblingly.

"If that's not the case, then what's his reason for not apologizing?" Ada asked, "Is it that his face as Malfoy is just a face, and my face as Drizzt is just a shoe insole?"

Ada's hands were still in her pockets, and she was still smiling. Flint clearly remembered that Ada had been beating him with this smile last year, and he was worried that Ada would pull out her wand and hit Draco at any time.

Flint's guess was correct. Ada's hand in her pocket was indeed holding a wand, ready to deal with any emergency. But there was one thing Flint didn't guess. The spell that hit him had become "Lightning Five Whips", which increased the amount but did not increase the price, which was very affordable. "I'm sorry." Flint had no choice but to say, "I apologize to Mr. Weasley on behalf of Draco." Flint didn't want Draco Malfoy to get into trouble, and he didn't want to be beaten either, so he had to use an apology to solve the matter first, and the rest would be dealt with later.

After being beaten, Flint learned his lesson. Ada apologized for Ron, and he followed suit and apologized for Malfoy. In this way, Ada really couldn't make a fuss, unless she planned to be unreasonable in front of so many people.

After getting permission, Flint took Malfoy away. Before leaving, Malfoy did not glare at Ada who had embarrassed him, but instead glared at Harry fiercely. This was probably the power of fate!

After walking back to his compartment, Flint whispered to Malfoy: "I will tell Professor Snape about what happened today. You can also talk to Mr. Malfoy. This lowly mudblood is so arrogant!"

The fighting broke out and the crowd of onlookers dispersed, but everyone still gained a lot today. Ada's wandless spellcasting was enough for everyone to talk about for a while.

Only Ada, the twins, Ron, Harry, and the brown-haired girl who had a bad tone before were left in front of the box. This girl was quite concerned about Harry and Ron, but she obviously cared more about Harry than Ron.

Ada looked at Ron and thought to herself: My little brother, you are so far behind Harry at the starting line of life!

Ada wanted to teach Ron a lesson, saying that it was very rude to laugh at someone's name, but she felt that she was not qualified to do so, and she herself was not a good person, so she did not say anything more and left the carriage with the twins.

After seeing off Ada and the twins, and then Hermione Granger, Harry closed the door of the compartment again and asked Ron, who was slumped in his seat, "Ron, do you have a good relationship with Esme... I mean, with Ada?"

Ron sat up again and said, "Ada is a classmate of Fred and George, but Mom and Dad like her very much and treat her as their own daughter. They took her to live with them last year and it will be the same in the future. Ginny and I also treat her as a sister. My wand is a gift from her!"

"How many people in the wizarding world can cast a spell like she did just now?" Harry continued to ask. He still had many questions.
Ron was not sure about this question either. He answered, "Probably not much. Mom and Dad can't do it. Bill and Charlie, who have graduated, can't do it either. Ada is a genius. Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall at school both like Ada very much."

Ada was the first person who made Harry realize that the world was not as simple as it seemed, so he was full of curiosity about Ada, and he also wanted to become as powerful as Ada.

The Hogwarts Express traveled northwards, getting closer and closer to the school, and finally arrived at Hogsmeade Station when it was dark. In previous years, it was always crowded when getting off the train, but this year was completely different. The students around stayed away from Ada, as if she had some odor.

The news of Ada's performance on the train and her amazing wandless spellcasting has spread throughout the entire train. Everyone is afraid that they might offend her accidentally, so they just stay away from her. Isn't that the right thing to do?

Thanks to Ada, the other five people also got off the train easily, without being caught in the crowd. On the platform was Hagrid's tall figure, and his unchanging lines: "First-year students, gather here." As soon as his deep voice fell, a group of little kids gathered around him, including Harry and Ron.

Looking at this group of first years, Ada suddenly thought of something. She asked, "Fred, George, have you two talked to Ron about how to sort the houses?"

"Of course not. We made the sorting ceremony sound scary! Ron probably thought he had to deal with some ferocious beast." Fred said. He felt that Ada's question was unnecessary.

"When we were in school, Charlie and Percy never told us what the sorting ceremony was, which made us worry for so long in vain. Then why should we tell Ron?" George asked back. This pain could not be endured alone, Ron had to try it too.

It is a tradition to keep the Sorting Ceremony secret. They are a loving family indeed. One thing leads to another, one trap after another. Who knows how Ron will trap Ginny next year!

The six hungry people squeezed into the same carriage. The moment the door was closed, Ye Qi took them to the school. The opening dinner in the auditorium was waiting for them, and the new semester was waiting for them.
