The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 166: Hermione

Since the "flying broom incident", Ada rarely mentions Harry Potter on her own initiative, and the twins rarely mention Harry's training in front of Ada.

Time will dilute everything. The twins thought that Ada would naturally let go of the matter after a while, but they waited for more than a month. It was not until today that Fred and George heard Harry's name from Ada again.

"Didn't I mention it?" Ada asked, tilting her head, "It shouldn't be..."

George said, "The last time you mentioned Harry's name was in mid-September, and you haven't mentioned it since."

"We are in the third grade and he is in the first grade. Our studies and life are not related. It's normal that he can't get any attention!" Ada said stubbornly. She could admit that she was a little narrow-minded, but others couldn't say it out loud.

The twins didn't believe this, not to mention a single letter or punctuation mark. Of all the students at Hogwarts, Ada was the first one to know Harry Potter.

However, Ada neither took revenge on Harry Potter nor made trouble every day like the first-year Draco Malfoy. She was just a little upset, which was understandable, after all, she was uncomfortable and had a knot in her heart.

George continued, "As soon as you mentioned that Harry might have gone to find the troll, Snape left immediately. Is there something wrong between the two of them?" Then George denied himself, "That shouldn't be the case!"

Since Harry Potter entered school, Snape has found a new target. Harry Potter has become the most unpopular person in the potions class. Even Neville Longbottom, who makes frequent mistakes, or Ada, the old predecessor who once stood out, cannot compare to him.

Snape was also the professor Harry Potter hated the most. The relationship between the two was terrible. In this case, why would Snape care whether Harry found the troll? Could it be that he really wanted to expel Harry Potter?
"I'm not sure, but I just think it's wrong." Ada said, "Although Snape always targets students, he is the famous Harry Potter."

In Ada's opinion, even if Snape hated Harry Potter, he shouldn't have targeted him so blatantly. Is this really okay? Ada thought about herself again, wondering if it was similar to her situation. Dumbledore asked Snape to work overtime again.

It was because of these two reasons that Ada used Harry Potter's search for the troll to test Snape. This test was not a big deal, and it really made Ada see something. Women's intuition is sometimes quite useful.

Snape, who had already found Harry, probably didn't expect that he would be exposed like this just because of Ada's intuition. She felt that it was wrong, which was really ridiculous!
This is also Snape's fault for not taking bean buns as dry food. If he looked at Ada like Dumbledore, he would not have just regarded Ada as a student.

Not catching Quirrell, and only witnessing Snape being bitten by a dog, this night was so empty. The three people who came up empty-handed returned to the lively common room, where the little lions were continuing to enjoy their Halloween dinner, and Dumbledore's savior training plan was also being implemented step by step.

After entering November, the weather became colder and Ada changed into thicker clothes. She didn't like the cold Scotland, she liked the feeling of the warm sunshine shining on her body.

Although the temperature is getting lower and lower, the students of Hogwarts are in high spirits because the Quidditch season is about to begin. As the most popular sport in the wizarding world, Quidditch games have always attracted a lot of attention. In order to allow the players to train well, Professor McGonagall even allowed them not to hand in their homework.

Even Professor McGonagall, who places great emphasis on study, is like this, so you can imagine how much others are looking forward to the game. And this year Gryffindor also has Harry Potter, and the savior's first appearance in the game has attracted much attention. Everyone wants to know if he flies well. Ada stood alone in the stands. The people she knew were all playing on the court, and she didn't know any of the people standing next to her. Ron and Hermione stood not far from her. Ada could actually stand with them, but she didn't want to disturb them, as it would make her look like a light bulb.

Just after eleven o'clock, the game began, and Lee Jordan's biased commentary naturally accompanied the game. Whenever there was a Gryffindor or Slytherin game, Lee Jordan's commentary was no longer fair, and he never changed.

Slytherin's games are always full of fouls, especially when playing against Gryffindor, the fouls will become more violent. This is why Angelina was so happy when she learned that Ada might appear on the court.

Slytherin does not respect the elderly and love the young on the court. Harry, who made his debut, was almost knocked off his broom by Flint. Although Madam Hooch awarded a penalty kick, there was a huge protest from the Gryffindor stands because Harry almost caught the Golden Snitch just now.

Harry's performance just now also gave Gryffindor students a reassurance, and they had more expectations for the victory of this game. But the good times didn't last long. Harry, who had been flying well just now, seemed to have suddenly forgotten how to fly, and the uncontrolled flying broom seemed to be about to throw Harry off at any time.

Ada was very familiar with the sight of Harry in the air. It was caused by the broomstick losing control, not that Harry had forgotten how to fly.

The Nimbus 2000 is the best broomstick on the market, and it was given to him by Professor McGonagall, so there should be no problem with its quality and safety. Since it is not a relationship between Harry Potter and the broomstick itself, it naturally means that someone is playing tricks on the scene.

Usually, there are measures to prevent evil spells on flying brooms. It is difficult to cast a spell on a flying broom, let alone a moving flying broom. It's not that Ada looks down on others, but the students present can't do this.

Students can't do it, but professors can. Ada snatched the telescope from the person next to her and searched for Quirrell on the stands. The person whose telescope was stolen was about to curse, but was stopped by his partner. When he saw that the person who stole him was Ada, he immediately shut up and dared not speak.

Ada had her doubts in her heart, but she had never caught the opponent's footing. Isn't this the opportunity? After searching several stands, Ada finally found Quirrell. He was staring at Harry Potter's flying broom, mumbling something, and there was even a hint of stuttering. Snape was sitting just below Quirrell, also staring intently and mumbling something.

Although they have the same shape, the two people have completely different purposes. One wants to harm Harry Potter, while the other is protecting him. Otherwise, Harry Potter would have fallen from a high altitude and turned into a meat paste.

"You said you didn't know martial arts, but I finally caught you!" Ada whispered while holding the telescope. Quirrell's impatience exposed him, and Ada saw it all.

Ada also saw Hermione Granger through the telescope, and she appeared on Quirrell's stand. As a "know-it-all" lady, Ada thought that the two had the same idea, but she witnessed a scene that made her dumbfounded - Hermione ignored the real murderer Quirrell and directly set Snape's robe on fire!
Snape was really miserable. First he was bitten by a three-headed dog and walked with a limp. Now his robes were set on fire. Ada didn't know what to say to comfort him. Looking at Snape's miserable state, Ada actually had the illusion that Snape was the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. This wave of strength taking the blame is really funny and distressing.

Ada originally thought that Hermione was a very smart girl, but she didn't expect that she was so unreliable. If there hadn't been a commotion on the stands, which prevented Quirrell from continuing to cast the spell, they could have handled Harry Potter's funeral by now.

In this wave, everyone including Ada stood on the first level, while Miss Hermione Granger stood on the atmosphere level, which could save Harry without alerting the enemy. This was the only explanation Ada came up with, hoping that this explanation could comfort Snape's injured heart.

Hermione Granger's actions just now were really eye-catching. This place is really hard to clean!
