Chapter 204 Taking orders in times of danger

Although it has been rumored in Hogwarts that Ada can cast spells without a wand and can crush strong men to death with her bare hands, no student has ever seen Ada crush someone to death with their own eyes. In daily life, this girl who is highly talented and good at studying just seems difficult to get along with and has never done anything to bully men and dominate women. Whether Ada is expelled or not has little to do with them.

Before intending to attack her classmates, Ada was most famous for her daring to confront Snape. The killing of three wizards a year ago was suppressed by Dumbledore and Fudge, except for the Aurors who handled it. No one knew that Ada's incident of stopping Welfare two years ago had not been confirmed, so everyone had long regarded it as a rumor and no one believed it.

The news of Ada's return to school only circulated among the students for one morning. By the time of breakfast, no one was discussing the matter, because another piece of news hit the students, easily taking away the information that originally belonged to them. Ada's headlines.

The news that Quirrell, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, was the villain spread like wildfire, and it spread throughout the campus in just one breakfast. The good-for-nothing, weak and bullied good-for-nothing Dim Sum is actually a bad guy hiding among the people. Is there anything more explosive than this news?

The big villain Quirrell tried to steal the Philosopher's Stone hidden on the fourth floor to complete his evil plan. When a hero was needed most, our Harry Potter stood up and led his friends to successfully defeat Quirrell. , protected the Magic Stone, and once again saved the magical world.

Isn't this news more interesting than whether Ada was fired? Students from the four houses were discussing Harry Potter and Quirrell. Harry's reputation in Gryffindor also skyrocketed. The resentment caused by losing first place was thrown to the bottom of the Black Lake by the little lions. The Academy is proud to have Harry.

It's just such a reality. From the savior to "that person", and then from "that person" back to the savior, it only took Harry a month to go through all the ups and downs.

Ada, who was watching with cold eyes, sighed, this life is indeed very skinny, it is so naked, even a group of students who have not entered the society cannot avoid it.

The news about Harry Potter vs. Quirrell had evolved into several versions by the end of the breakfast. Whether it was these derivative versions or the original version, Ada's name was not mentioned. She was automatically marked. Among the ranks of friends. Although Ada didn't say anything, the twins who knew the truth felt unworthy for Ada.

Except for Harry, who was unconscious, there were only five students who knew about it, Fred, George, Ron, Hermione, and Ada herself. None of these five people told anyone about it. It is self-evident where the students got the news.

In the first grade, Dumbledore once hid Ada's name to protect her, but this protection did not take effect. The Welfare family still knew Ada's name, but they did not officially take revenge on Ada.

This time, I still kept Ada's name secret. Is it still to protect Ada? But if you want to protect students, why did you reveal Harry's name?

Fred and George once again complained for Ada. She figured out the truth first, and Quirrell was defeated by her personally. But in the end, she got nothing. What does this mean? Invisible guardian?

On the way back to the common room, the twins were still complaining about what happened to Ada, but Ada had a different idea than them. She believed that Dumbledore had a reason for doing what he did. Dumbledore did not let Ada's name get out in order to give Harry the opportunity to say Ada's name, thereby promoting Ada's friendship with Harry.

According to Harry's character, he will definitely not have the exclusive honor of stopping Quirrell after he is discharged from the hospital. He will definitely tell Ada's name, and then the slightest bit of unhappiness between him and Ada will be smoothed away. .

Of course, this is just Ada's own speculation. As for whether Dumbledore really thinks so, Ada is not sure.

Wait, thinking of Harry, another thing suddenly flashed through Ada's mind. Did everyone forget something important?

Looking at Fred and George chattering away, Ada asked: "Is there a Quidditch match in Gryffindor today?"

Fred said: "Yes, with Slytherin."

George added: "Although there is no House Cup, as long as we win Slytherin, we can win the Quidditch Cup."

The two brothers said together: "We will definitely win, don't forget that we still have..."

Harry Potter, they still have Harry Potter, their Seeker is lying in the school doctor's room at the moment, and even if he wakes up, he will not be able to participate in the noon game! The twins turned into frost-beaten eggplants and lost their Seeker. Are they going to kill Slytherin with their heads?

Returning to the common room, the three of them saw Oliver Wood, who was frowning. There was a long, tightly wrapped box at his feet. Looking at Wood's expression, it was as if someone owed him 10,000 gold galleons but had no intention of paying him back. Angelina, Alia, and Katie sat quietly beside him. The three girls were like lambs. Trembling under his gaze.

Ada and the twins were naturally seen by Wood, and then the three people sat beside him and shivered. It was better not to offend the furious Captain "Wooden".

"As you all know, we will have a game later, but Harry will not be able to appear." Wood said, "I don't blame him, he did the right thing."

"Can't we apply for an extension?" Angelina asked. "After all, Harry is admitted to the school infirmary because of school."

Harry obviously won't wake up for a while. Postponing the game is indeed the best solution, and the reason for applying for the postponement is sufficient. Harry was injured and admitted to the hospital to protect the Sorcerer's Stone.

Oliver Wood slammed the table angrily and said: "I have already applied with Professor McGonagall, and she went to Snape, but Slytherin did not agree to change the date of the game, and the game will continue as usual."

As soon as these words were said, the atmosphere among the five people quickly solidified. Only Wood and Ada had normal expressions. Wood was already angry. Ada felt that it was normal to disagree. She would do anything to achieve her goals. This was Slytherin.

"What should we do?" Katie asked in a low voice. She felt that the team had no chance of winning. It was basically impossible to rely on the Chaser's offense to wipe out the 150 points of the Golden Snitch. This was basically impossible in an amateur team. .

"Don't forget, we have a substitute seeker." Wood said looking at Ada. After hearing these words, several other people also turned to look at Ada.

Ada raised her hand weakly and said, "Oliver, it's not impossible for me to play, but I don't have a broomstick at all."

This substitute spot has long been forgotten by Ada. She will not spend a large sum of gold Galleons to buy a flying broomstick that is rarely used for this spot, so she has already taken the title of substitute Seeker. In the first year, Ada still didn’t have her own broomstick.

Captain "Wooden" picked up the box at his feet and handed it to Ada. He also took out a note from his pocket and handed it to Ada. Wood said: "You can rest assured that Professor McGonagall has already prepared it. This box contains your broomstick."

The twins took the box and began to unpack it for Ada, while Ada looked at the note written by Professor McGonagall. It reads:

This broomstick was originally intended to be given to you personally on the day you officially became a Seeker. But because of Harry's appearance, it has never been handed over to its owner. Now, the opportunity has come, take it with you and win the first Quidditch victory in your life!

Looking at the note, Ada suddenly felt a little sore in her nose, but before she could be moved, Fred beside her patted her shoulder vigorously, almost knocking her off the armchair.

"What am I talking about! What am I talking about!" Fred said loudly, "I said that Professor McGonagall must have prepared a broomstick for you. You just don't believe it and insist on saying it. How about it? Does your face hurt? pain?"

The package was opened, and Sweeping Seven Stars lay quietly in the box. The Sweeping Seven Stars is a product launched by the Sweeping Broom Company. Its performance is slightly inferior to the Nimbus 2000. Oliver Wood had suggested that Harry, who was wealthy, buy the Nimbus 2000 or the Sweeping Seven Stars.

Although the standard and price are slightly lower than Nimbus 2000, Sweeping Seven Stars is more suitable for Ada than Nimbus 2000. In terms of flying, Ada's talent is not very good, and the good controllability of the Sweep series can help her make up for this shortcoming. Although Nimbus 2000 is faster, such a high speed naturally makes it more difficult to control. That's why Professor McGonagall chose Ada's Sweep Seven Stars, which is slightly slower but has better controllability.

Ada stroked the broomstick and said excitedly: "When will the competition start? I can't wait to try my new broomstick!"
