The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 238 The Darkness Under the Lights

In the end, Harry and Ron were entangled and finally told the story about Hermione.It turned out that Hermione planned to use Polyjuice Potion to transform into Millicent and sneak into the Slytherin lounge with Harry and Ron.

But the result was not at all what Hermione expected. The hair she obtained from Millicent did not belong to humans, but came from a cat.So, Hermione became a catgirl, well, Gryffindor's second catgirl.

But unlike the older catgirls, Hermione's transformation was mainly humanoid, and it was a one-time change.Under Madam Pomfrey's care, she would soon be back to normal.

Ada didn't laugh at Hermione, and Ada didn't find the mistake funny.Hermione's carelessness has taught her a lesson, and I believe that the smart Hermione has realized her mistake.

Instead, Ada visited Hermione in the school doctor's office.It's just that Ada didn't get to see the furry little girl or touch the "cat lady"'s ears.

In order to protect Hermione from shame, Madam Pomfrey drew a curtain around her hospital bed to prevent anyone from seeing her catgirl form.Ada could only comfort her through the curtain and give the little girl some comfort.

Before the Christmas vacation was over, Ada successfully disposed of the Acromantula's venom.Scott Warren is truly a professional and moves quickly.He completed a deal with Ada on a snowy day, using a large bag of gold galleons in exchange for the giant spider venom from Ada.

Scott Warren did not show the dark side of society. He did not take advantage of others. Instead, he chose the place where they met at the Three Broomsticks, and happily settled the matter with a thousand gold galleons.

After working in this industry for so long, Warren still has good eyesight. Not only will he not offend Ada, but he will try his best to make Ada a good friend and promote next cooperation.

Warren may not make much from this business, but what is more important to him is the expansion of his network of contacts.A young wizard who can obtain Acromantula venom as a teenager is a business partner worth making and will bring him more benefits in the future.

Therefore, Warren, a professional, would not do the act of killing the goose that lays the goose and taking advantage of others, although he had hesitation.

It was clearly January, and snowflakes were still falling in Hogwarts, but there was thunder on the ground. Esmeralda Drizzt suddenly became rich. She was rich!Although compared with many big families, this money is nothing, but for Ada, who has been poor for many years, it is a huge sum of money.

The money was enough to pay Ada's salary at the Leaky Cauldron for two or three years.

With a large bag of gold galleons in her arms, Ada returned to Hogwarts happily. She even felt that the unknown monsters in the secret room had become cute.

Although the twins always said that Ada was a money addict, Ada was not fascinated by the yellow gold.Instead of keeping the gold Galleons for herself, she chose to share it equally with the twins.

After all, the two of them went to the Spider Cave with him and almost became the food of the Acromantula.

The twins didn't refuse. The two brothers knew that even if they refused, Ada would force it on them.However, Fred and George did not agree to the proposal of dividing the money equally among the three, and they only took a small part of it as their own research funds.

Aragog, the Acromantula, was so frightened by Ada that he did not dare to tell Hagrid about the matter. Therefore, neither Hagrid nor Dumbledore knew that the Acromantula in the Forbidden Forest almost encountered A devastating disaster.

The matter of burning the Spider Cave has come to a successful conclusion, everything has been dealt with.Although there was no "destroying traces of corpses," no one except the twins knew that Ada had used black magic.

Just as Ada was counting the gold galleons over and over again, the Christmas vacation ended and other students returned to school one after another.

I don’t know whether it’s because of the holiday or because they’re going home, but the photos of the students who returned to school showed a lot less panic than before the holiday.After the holidays, the sun began to shine faintly on Hogwarts again.At the castle, the mood turned optimistic.There have been no further attacks since Justin and Nearly Headless Nick were petrified.

Madam Pomfrey is pleased to report that the mandrakes have become moody and taciturn, which is to say, they are rapidly outgrowing their childhood.

It seemed that the cold winter at Hogwarts sealed the courage of the Slytherin heir. He did not open the hidden chamber again, nor did he release the monster entrenched in the chamber.

Everything seems to have settled down, no more attacks will happen, no more people will be hurt.

Gilderoy Lockhart felt that he was capable again, and he walked arrogantly in the castle every day, as if he had stopped the heir of Slytherin.When he met anyone, he said, "There will be no more trouble" and "The criminal must have known about my existence, and the famous Lockhart will definitely catch him."

Even after so many disappointments, Lockhart could not stop Lockhart's passion for showing off and bragging. He did not have a long memory and would not shed tears until he saw the coffin.

The students' mood improved, and they were no longer as panicked as before, but Ada did not feel like they did that the attack was over.

Fifty years ago, a student died. Today, 50 years later, Ada does not think that petrifying a few students will satisfy the heir of Slytherin. The attack will definitely happen again.

There are some students whose ideas are similar to Ada's, but they are somewhat different from Ada's ideas. They firmly believe that Harry is the murderer.

These people, led by MacMillan and others, believed that Harry was just dormant temporarily, waiting for an opportunity to create greater panic.

These people concluded that Harry was the murderer and the heir of Slytherin through Harry's Parseltongue.This way of catching wind and shadow makes no sense, but it gave Ada a great inspiration. The details that had been forgotten by Ada became the key to solving the problem.

As we all know, Slytherin himself and his descendants are all Parseltongues, so are the monsters in the Chamber of Secrets also related to snake-like animals?Harry heard sounds that no one else could hear and was always the first to appear at the scene of the attack. Isn't that a good proof?

Under the dark light, Ada thought about things a little complicated.Snakes are the symbol of Slytherin. Only Harry can hear those sounds because the monsters in the Chamber of Secrets are snakes; snakes feed on spiders, so the spiders in the castle escape.

Ada should have thought of these things a long time ago!

Ada rapped her skull with her knuckles, dissatisfied with herself.She neither succeeded in driving Lockhart out of school nor found out the monster in the secret room early. This was her mistake and was simply unforgivable.

In order to make up for her mistake, Ada once again dove into the library and read through a pile of books about magical creatures.

Ada even wrote a letter to Mr. Newt Scamander in Dorsetshire, asking the learned old man some questions about magical creatures.

The hard work paid off, and Ada's efforts paid off. She finally found the magical creature that matched all the clues, and she was finally able to identify the old monkey Slytherin's little pet.
