Chapter 235 An unexpected gift

The organization of the Duel Club failed to enable the students to learn anything useful, but instead made the blame on Harry's back darker and larger.

Harry inadvertently revealed his Parseltongue, a hissing sound that sounded similar to a "hissing" sound. It is a very special language ability and is also regarded as a sign of a dark wizard.

Salazar Slytherin himself was the most famous Parseltongue, and his descendants also speak the language. The secret room in the school was opened again, and the words on the wall reminded everyone that the heir of Slytherin had reappeared in the school.

At this time, Harry accidentally exposed his Parseltongue, which undoubtedly proved the students' speculation in disguise that Harry was the descendant and heir of Slytherin, and that Harry was the murderer who opened the Chamber of Secrets and attacked the students.

Filch always made things difficult for students, and the news that he was a Squib spread. How could the heir of Slytherin tolerate a Squib staying in school?

Colin Creevey was a Muggle-born student. He always pestered Harry and kept patting him, so he was the first student to be attacked by Harry.

Comments like this began to spread in the school, and the students all believed that Harry was the murderer. However, due to lack of evidence, Harry Potter, the perpetrator, could not be caught on the spot.

Harry once again experienced the gap he had in his first year, and this time it was even worse than in his first year.

The students talked about him privately, and everyone would avoid him and stay away from him, as if they would be petrified by his pet if they came near him.

If anyone wants to say who is the most disturbed person in the school, everyone will definitely say that the most disturbed person is Justin Finch-Fletchley.

The Hufflepuff boy revealed information about himself to Harry, telling Harry about his Muggle heritage. Because of his quick talk, Finlay had to hide in the Hufflepuff common room to prevent Harry from hurting himself.

To this end, Harry also had a huge quarrel with the pure-blood Ernie MacMillan. MacMillan is a firm supporter and disseminator of the "Harry murderer theory."

Soon after, Justin Finch-Leary was attacked while hiding. He lay on the floor, cold and stiff, a frightened expression fixed on his face, his eyes staring dully at the ceiling.

Also attacked along with Fenreli was the almost headless Nick, who, like Fenreli, had a horrified expression on his face.

The already tense atmosphere turned into real panic. When the Christmas break arrived, students rushed to escape from the school. They no longer wanted to stay in the dangerous Hogwarts.

The castle was a little too deserted, as if it was summer vacation instead of Christmas vacation, and it seemed as if the school had been closed due to the attack.

The Christmas of 1992 came in such a deserted atmosphere. This year's Christmas is destined to be an extraordinary Christmas, because the two groups of Gryffindor's Big Three are planning to do something big today.

Christmas Day dawned, the weather was cold and the snow was everywhere. Ada was the only one in the dormitory. She opened the gifts piled at the foot of the bed one by one, enjoying a moment of tranquility.

The gifts she received were similar to those in previous years, including new clothes from Professor McGonagall, handmade sweaters and candies from Mrs. Weasley, and daily necessities given by her friends.

As we get older, it seems that everyone no longer looks forward to Christmas as much, and the gifts are not prepared as much as before.

Just like in her previous life, Ada always looked forward to the New Year when she was a child, because she could have new clothes to wear and delicious food that she could not usually eat. But when I grow up, I always say that the New Year has become dull, the New Year is boring, and even the time for setting off firecrackers is not consistent.

One packaging box after another was opened, and at the end of the process Ada found an extra box. The box was small and could be held in one hand, and there was no signature on it. Ada didn't know who gave it to her.

Ada shook the box by her ear, but the gift box didn't make any sound. Ada put the box on the ground again, took out her gold-rimmed glasses and put them on. She stood far away from the box, covered her mouth and nose, and pointed at the box with her wand.

Under the influence of the spell, the gift box was opened. There were no strange things in the box, and no monsters emerged. There was only a bracelet lying quietly on the silk.

This bracelet is made of gold and is engraved with two lifelike griffins, which are one of the symbols of Gryffindor and represent control of the earth (lion) and sky (eagle).

The gold bracelet is also embedded with four red gemstones, which glow dazzlingly under the early morning sunlight.

Expensive, very expensive, very expensive, this was Ada's first impression of this bracelet. Ada carefully inspected the bracelet, but she did not find any dangerous atmosphere on the bracelet. It was just an ordinary gold bracelet.

Among the people Ada knew, there was no one who could give such an expensive gift, and moreover, it was done anonymously without blinking an eye.

Grindelwald, who was far away in Austria, may have been very wealthy, and his name was not suitable to appear. It was completely reasonable to send gifts anonymously. But the first-generation Dark Lord would not give Ada jewelry, or such luxurious jewelry, not to mention that Nurmengard was so poor that it was almost impossible to open the pot.

So who sent this priceless gold bracelet?

At the Christmas dinner at Hogwarts, everyone ate with gusto, including Ada, who was full of questions, and Harry, who was about to drink Polyjuice Potion.

There was not only a frost-covered Christmas tree and thick ribbons of mistletoe and holly, but also enchanted snow, warm and dry, falling gently from the ceiling.

Dumbledore led everyone in singing some of his favorite Christmas carols, and Hagrid's voice became louder and louder as he downed glass after glass of eggnog.

Percy didn't notice that Fred had enchanted his prefect badge so that it read "Fool" and stupidly kept asking what everyone was laughing at.

At this moment, Ada also put aside her worries. The Chamber of Secrets, the heir of Slytherin, the unidentified stalker, and the gold bracelet of unknown origin were all inferior to the beauty of this moment, and not as sweet as the eggnog in the cup.

As the night grew darker, both groups of Gryffindor's Big Three began their actions. Harry, Ron, and Hermione went to the girls' bathroom and drank Polyjuice Potion, while Ada and the twins walked out of the castle and walked deeper into the Forbidden Forest.

In the bright moonlight, Ada and the twins walked across the playground and into the forbidden forest. When passing Hagrid's hut, I heard Hagrid's frightening singing.

A beam of light emitted from the tip of Fred and George's staff illuminated the path beneath their feet, trying to find the shadow of the spider in the snow. Ada spread her right hand and placed the wand flat on her hand. She whispered: "Show me the way!"

The wand began to rotate horizontally in Ada's hand, then stopped steadily after a few seconds. Ada led the twins toward the direction indicated by the wand. As they went deeper, the moonlight above them became weaker and weaker.

After walking around like this for more than half an hour, Ada and the twins were completely plunged into darkness. The only light was the wands in the hands of the twins.

The three people walked through the dark trees and pushed aside the dense branches. The road suddenly became wider under their feet. They also found some animal remains on the ground. The three of them looked at each other and knew that they were not far from the spider's nest.

Going down a steep slope, thick spider webs could be seen everywhere, and soon Ada and the twins came to the edge of a wide depression. Among the fallen leaves and snow, the three of them discovered a cave entrance covered by spider webs.

Ada pointed the wand at the thickest cobweb and slid the wand from top to bottom. The spider web was as if it had been cut by a sharp blade, creating a gap, and the gap was getting bigger and bigger. In a short time, it was enough for three people to enter side by side.

Raising the wand above her head, Ada's tip burst out with bright light, illuminating the three of them and the hole in front of them.

Countless spiders huddled together at the entrance of the cave, and they were so densely packed. Fortunately, none of the three of them had object phobia, otherwise they would have fainted before they even got into the spider's nest.

Looking along the hole, the spiders get bigger as you go inside, some are even bigger than horses.

"Fred, George, are you ready to make Acromantula's midnight snack?" Ada said with a smile.

"No, no, no, we don't want to fill the spiders' bellies." Fred said, "We are here to select the spiders."

George looked in the direction of the castle and continued: "I hope little Ronnie will like the Christmas gift we gave him."
