Chapter 24 Blushing Adolescence

The uneasiness still existed among the group of students who had left the auditorium earlier. At school, a student is assaulted, and it's hard not to be frightened by something like this happening to other students.

Charlie Weasley led the way with his wand in hand and several senior students also holding wands. He loudly reassured the Gryffindor students.

"Don't be afraid, the professors will definitely find the perpetrator. You have to believe Professor Dumbledore, he is the most powerful wizard in the world!"

Under the leadership of the seniors, the team moved forward slowly. A few of the timid students couldn't control their emotions and began to cry softly.

Several senior senior students squeezed through the crowd and came to them, softly comforting their broken emotions. They also gradually stopped crying under the comfort of their elder sisters.

Ada, Angelina and Alia were protected by three boys, Fred, George and Lee Jordan, and the six of them were surrounded by others in the middle of the entire Gryffindor team.

Gryffindor placed all the first- and second-year kiddies in the middle of the entire team, so that they would not get separated and would be more easily protected by the seniors.

"Percy still cares about you two!" Ada said to the twins. Just now, Percy Weasley squeezed through the crowd and came to care about his two little brothers.

Seeing that the two brothers were fine, Percy returned to his classmates. However, before leaving, he specifically told Fred and George not to go anywhere and to follow the team back to the common room honestly, otherwise he would definitely tell Mrs. Weasley.

The twins were also a little surprised by Percy's unexpected behavior. The annoying Percy actually started to care about their safety, although his tone was as unwelcome as ever.

"Maybe his conscience found out."

"Finally realized how good we are."

Fred and George took full advantage of their twin strengths, singing in unison. The twins were actually quite happy that their brother could care about them, but they were stubborn and refused to show it.

"I think he just doesn't want you two to go out and cause trouble." Lee Jordan interjected. This sentence is actually unnecessary, although what Lee Jordan said may be close to Percy's thoughts.

"Lee, if you shut up now, we will still be good friends." The twins said together. Fred and George now wanted to cover Lee Jordan's mouth and treat him with "inhumane" care.

"This is Hogwarts. Who dares to attack students here?" Angelina asked. She and Alia Spinnet beside her held each other's hands, giving each other courage.

It can only be said that Angelina is still too young, and she will get used to this kind of thing with more experience.

"I don't know, but since he dared to do this, it means that the murderer has the courage and determination to face everything." Ada said.

Ada tried to connect the attack with Snape and Welfare in her mind. It was not that Ada cared about the truth, but she was more worried about her own safety.

She sincerely hoped that this matter had nothing to do with Snape and Welfare, so that she could be relatively safe and not have to live in fear.

If there is really a connection between the two, then she will have to be extremely careful next. Until the day when the truth came to light, she had to be extremely alert to prepare for possible attacks.

"I believe Professor Dumbledore can handle everything." George said.

"Although he is an old bee who likes sweets, he can do anything." Fred said, and he gave his twin brother a high-five.

Angelina and Aaliyah nodded in agreement, and Li Qiaodan had the same idea.

Seeing how everyone trusted Dumbledore, Ada couldn't help but wonder: had Dumbledore been to the far east and learned some incredible magic there? Everyone Ada knew trusted and admired him unconditionally.

"Do you know who was attacked?" Ada asked. She planned to think about the problem from another angle and see if she could find a breakthrough from the victim.

"It is said to be Daniel Bell, a fifth-year student from Hufflepuff." Li Jordan whispered, "I just heard it from the Hufflepuff students."

Ada looked at Li Qiaodan with some surprise. She had just asked casually, adhering to the spirit of making a fool of herself. She really didn't expect that Li Qiaodan could actually give her an answer.

Lee Jordan's small speaker is fine. If this young man doesn't do broadcasting in the future, he won't be able to do this.

"Is the information accurate?" George asked in a low voice, whispering like an underground joint.

"This is the most reliable news so far. His roommate said he didn't go to class in the afternoon. At that time, everyone thought he was resting in the dormitory, but they didn't find him after returning to the dormitory," said Li Jordan.

"The same goes for everyone else. They haven't seen him since the afternoon. At the banquet, Filch said that a student was attacked, and they immediately thought of Daniel Bell..." Li Jordan will hear the Hufflepuff discussion. Shared with everyone.

After listening to Lee Jordan's words, Ada thought about it carefully: this classmate Daniel disappeared in the afternoon. If he is really the victim, does it mean that the attack time was before the banquet, or even Earlier!

It's just that Ada doesn't understand why he was attacked?

From what Li Qiaodan said later, it can be heard that this Daniel is a good student, and can even be said to be a person with no sense of existence. Why would such an "inconspicuous" boy be involved in the attack?

The marching crowd finally returned to Gryffindor Tower. When the Fat Lady saw everyone coming back, she opened the entrance without even asking for the password.

The seniors at the front of the line stepped out of the way to allow the juniors to enter the common room first. They waited until all the younger students had gone in before they followed.

With the influx of students, the common room became crowded and the armchairs were filled with people. Everyone's nervousness finally eased after returning to the common room.

Charlie Weasley and another female prefect began to call the names of each grade, checking the number of people to ensure that everyone was back. After the verification was completed, most of the people returned to the dormitory, while a small number of people chose to stay in the lounge.

Ada and the Weasley brothers occupied the two armchairs closer to the fireplace after everyone left.

Charlie Weasley and several other senior students stood near the entrance to the common room, preventing anyone from entering and preventing students in the courtyard from leaving.

The senior students were divided into three groups to stand guard. Charlie and the others were the first group, and others would replace them in the middle of the night.

These people were also communicating with each other in low voices, and they were also very concerned about this matter. After all, ever since they entered this school, the only high-risk profession has been Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers.

Charlie, who was standing guard, took a look at Ada and the three of them sitting next to the fireplace. His two troublemaking brothers did not run around, but kept walking around Ada honestly. This fact made Charlie very happy.

Ada sat in the armchair, holding the cushions in her arms, and said to Fred and George, "Have you heard of any other attacks at the school?"

"No, Charlie didn't say that." Fred recalled that he had indeed never heard anyone mention anything like this.

"Bill didn't say that either, let alone mom and dad." George continued.

"You seem to be paying special attention to this matter?" the twin brothers asked. Ada, who was usually indifferent to many things, was very unusual today.

Although it was impossible to determine whether this incident was related to Snape and Foley, Ada still had no intention of telling the two brothers about it. She did not want to drag them into trouble.

"I'm just a little worried. A student was attacked, aren't you worried?" Ada leaned back on the armchair and muttered perfunctory words to the two of them.

"Worried, but not to your level. Your worries are a little too much." Fred said, "It's as if the person being attacked is yourself."

"When did your courage become like that of Percy's stinky rat? You are acting strange today! No, you have been acting strange recently. You don't look like you anymore, and you often look worried inadvertently. Looks like." George said.

The twin brothers are actually very smart, they just don't focus on studying. At the same time, their observation skills are also very keen. They knew that Ada was hiding something in her heart, but if Ada didn't tell her, they didn't ask. It was normal for friends to hide some little secrets.

Fred said: "At first we thought you were feeling unwell." "It just felt like the time was not right..."

George was halfway through what he said, but suddenly stopped. The two brothers' faces turned red visibly, like freshly cooked crabs.

Ada, whose face was as red as a ripe tomato, suddenly understood what it meant to be "most afraid of the sudden silence of the air, and the sudden concern of friends..."

Silence, silence is Hogwarts tonight.

"I just have something bothering me recently, but I can't tell you yet." Ada, who was shameless enough, was the first to break the awkward atmosphere.

Brothers Fred and George sat next to Ada.

Fred put his hand on Ada's left shoulder and said, "Ahem... I don't want to talk about it for now. I'll wait until the day you want to say it."

George on the right also put his hand on Ada's shoulder. He said: "We are your friends and your strong backing!"

"Although this shield is a bit small now, no matter how small it is, it is still a shield!" The twins patted Ada on the shoulders together.

The actions and words of the two brothers made Ada feel warm in her heart, but her hands were a bit strong. Ada felt lucky to have someone to rely on when she was helpless.

Ada's voice was muffled and she said to the two of them apologetically: "I'm sorry, Fred and George, I will tell you as soon as I think about it!"
