The Emerald at Hogwarts

Persecution delusion is a chronic disease characterized by systematic and organized delusions.Patients suffering from this disease always believe that someone or a group is going to harm them.

Patients often become extremely cautious and defensive. Even a small incident in life will be infinitely magnified by them and become the core of delusions. They regard this incident as a sign that someone is going to persecute them.

Ada's performance seems to be somewhat like this disorder, and her past experiences are enough to cause her to develop this disorder.Maybe the other person just glanced at her casually, or looked at her a few more times, and she was suspicious of him and thought he was following or monitoring him.

After all, Ada is not the sun, the earth will not always revolve around her, and the magical world will not play with an ordinary little witch like her.

But Ada could swear to Merlin that the surveillance of these three people was not her own delusions and conjectures, but a reality.She had silently observed these three people for a long time, and she could confirm the other party's surveillance behavior, but she really could not explain why the other party suddenly disappeared.

Ada could only think that the other party may have realized that she had discovered their surveillance, and temporarily gave up tracking her in order not to cause conflict and dispel Ada's suspicion.

Or, the other party has obtained the information they want and no longer needs to waste resources on Ada.

Of course, it is also possible that the other party has put on smarter eyes and continued to secretly monitor Ada, but she did not notice it, so there was a current vacuum period.

After realizing that she was being watched, Ada also tried to analyze who sent these three people, but the results of the deduction failed to satisfy her.

The first thing that comes to mind is the Foley family behind Benedict Foley. This pure-blood family from Hampshire has amazing wealth and enviable connections, but they live a rather low-key life.

Apart from Benedick, no one in this family has ever been heard of following Voldemort.

Benedick tried to attack Ada during her first year, but was defeated by Dumbledore and sent to Azkaban, so the Foley family had a motive to spy on her.A year later, wasn't Auror Hart, who wanted to bring Ada back to the Ministry of Magic for trial, a scoundrel of the Welfare family?

Ever since Benedick was imprisoned, the Foley family had been mobilizing relations in the hope of mitigating Benedick's punishment. However, because of Dumbledore's relationship, Cornelius Fudge had not let go.

It is inevitable for the unsuccessful Welfare family to have grievances. They could not afford to offend Dumbledore, so they set their sights on the weak Ada. It was not impossible.

Secondly, there are the parents of the students that Ada has offended at school, Avery, Flint, and possibly Malfoy.In the past three years, Ada has offended many people in the school because of her personality, and Slytherins, who are all pure-bloods, have been offended by her all the time.

Although Ada thought it was a shame to sue her parents, Slytherin, who had been suppressed by her, had no other way to punish Ada except to sue her parents.

Seeing their children being bullied, they didn't care what caused the conflict between their children and Ada.It is not impossible for them to find a few people to keep an eye on Ada and give her some color to see if they love her son.

Furthermore, Ada also knew what these families had done in the past. They all followed Voldemort, and having trouble with a child seemed like something they could do.

These families are Ada's main suspects, and she has major or minor conflicts with these families.In the eyes of these families, the lonely Ada is like a stronger ant. They don't care about the life of the ant. They just kill the ants that appear in front of them with their hands.

Compared with these ancient pure-blood families, the current Ada is really not good enough. They have many ways to deal with Ada.Unless she possesses fearsome strength or has a tyrannical background, they can deal with Ada anytime and anywhere, as long as they want.

It is also possible that they were relatives and friends of those people killed by Ada. Although the Daily Prophet did not report Ada's name, so many Aurors knew about it, and it would be difficult to obtain Ada's name. Not difficult.

This is a life-and-death feud. To touch Ada's bottom in order to get revenge, this reason and motive are sufficient.It's just that Ada can't confirm whether these "relatives and friends" really exist and what their strength is. Ada knows nothing about them and cannot analyze them.

Ada did not doubt Dumbledore. Although in her eyes the relationship between the two was not as good as before, the principal had no reason to do such a thing.

I also had doubts about the Ministry of Magic. This idea also appeared in Ada's mind. After all, those Aurors were all from the Ministry of Magic.

It's just that the motives and reasons of the Ministry of Magic are not sufficient. Ada can't think of a time when she has offended the Ministry of Magic. On the contrary, she has helped them catch Death Eaters hidden among the crowd.

For Ada who had helped them, not only did they not give her the medal of Sir Merlin, but they also sent people to follow her. Judging from the current situation, it is a bit unreasonable, right?

Unless Cornelius Fudge thought that exposing Benedick Foley's identity as a Death Eater was causing trouble for him. He was very unhappy with Ada, so he sent people to monitor Ada to prevent Ada from causing further trouble for him.

But the high-ranking Minister of Magic shouldn't care about Ada, a poor student, being unable to commit such a small thing.

This was the person behind the scenes that Ada could think of for the time being. She couldn't think of any other suspects at the moment. If she thought about it again, she would really be delusional about being persecuted.

Counting over and over again, Ada discovered that she had made countless enemies in her short three-year wizarding career. She had previously said that Marcus Flint was too jumpy, but it turned out that the person who jumped the most was herself.

No matter which family the three people they were following were sent by, they did not attack Ada when she was alone. This was Ada's biggest confusion. This made Ada unable to confirm the attitude of the other party. Was it just for the sake of the other party? Collect information about her?

Shaking his head, he dismissed the thoughts in his mind. No matter what, life had to go on. He couldn't live a normal life just because of the sudden appearance and inexplicable disappearance of the stalker, right?

To make iron, you need to be strong. As long as you have enough strength, then any tricks are nothing to fear. They are all paper tigers that will be broken into pieces at a touch.

At night, Ada was walking alone on Charing Cross Street. Her clothes were not weird, but rather unique, so she did not attract any attention from the Muggles on the road.

Ada disappeared into Charing Cross Street until she reached a corner where no one was paying attention. Still no one jumped out to attack her. It seemed that the other party had really given up monitoring her.

Sleepy, hungry, and tired, Ada appeared on the path of St. Catchpole Village. There would be no one following her here. The Burrow was not far away, and no one would be stupid enough to do anything here.

When Ada returned to the Burrow, it was just time for dinner, and a large family was sitting around the dining table, looking very lively.

Ginny's face was no longer so red, but she still didn't dare to look at Harry openly, so she could only look at him secretly. Ada found Ginny's coy look very interesting.

Ginny, who has always been generous, cheerful and fast-talking, has become like this. The power of the male god is really powerful.

The family enjoyed a sumptuous dinner happily, and Harry's plate was filled with food, which was served to him by Mrs. Weasley.

Ada was not amused by Mrs. Weasley's double standard, but was concentrating on the steak on the dinner plate.If he didn't eat more, these steaks would either end up in Ron's stomach, or they would appear on Harry's plate.

The twins were chirping at Percy. They wanted to borrow Percy's owl, but Percy refused to lend it to them, saying he would keep it for himself.

The warm atmosphere in the Burrow can always dispel Ada's fatigue. Here Ada will forget those disturbing worries, and only the laughter from her family will linger in her ears.

As the night wore on, both Ada and Ginny fell into a deep sleep, both dreaming.

Ginny's dream was Harry, so the little girl showed a sweet smile even in her sleep.

But Ada's dream was a little weird. She first dreamed of the witch who had spied on her. She had never seen this witch before, but Ada felt a little familiar.Then, Ada dreamed of another woman, a strange woman she had never seen before.
