Chapter 324 Resentment against the Firebolt

The fireworks in the Paris night sky make this ancient city become dreamlike. The two-week Christmas vacation was as fleeting as the fireworks. The day after New Year, Ada packed her handbag and prepared to return to Hogwarts.

When Ada crossed the English Channel and stood on the land of the British Isles again, she didn't feel how far away from Paris it was, and she still didn't have the true feeling of leaving home.

But when Ada returned to the Scottish Highlands and saw the mountains at similar altitudes, with the wet cold wind blowing on her face, she felt that she had indeed returned to Hogwarts, and it felt right.

The ancient castle that has stood for thousands of years has become lively again, and the returning students have brought vitality to Hogwarts again. Ada was in a good mood and walked towards the Gryffindor tower humming an unknown tune, wanting to share her Paris travel diary with her friends.

The portrait at the entrance to the Gryffindor lounge is still Sir Cadogan, and the housekeeper, the Fat Lady, has not been cured of her psychological shadow and has been unwilling to return to her job. From Halloween to the Christmas holidays, Cadogan, the dormitory manager, probably changed a hundred passwords.

In the portrait, Cadogan is lying on the grass and resting, and his dependent pony is grazing next to him.

"Happy New Year, Sir Cadogan." Ada was in a good mood and greeted Sir Cadogan, "I grant you glory in the name of justice!"

Sir Cadogan jumped up from the ground, drew out his sword, and said loudly: "The password is wrong! Say! Why did you, a succubus, break into the castle, and what are your evil eyes spying on! Say!"

"When did you change the password? Why did you change the password during the holidays?" Ada asked patiently.

After the Fat Lady's portrait was damaged, no portrait in the castle was willing to take over this dangerous position because they were afraid that Blake would damage their portraits too. Only Sir Cadogan was unafraid of Black and volunteered to take over the Fat Lady's duties.

Therefore, whether it was for Sir Cadogan's bravery or his ability to allow Gryffindor students to return to the common room, Ada still respected this Sir who did not have a particularly good reputation.

"You have no right to question Sir Cadogan, you confusing succubus!" Sir Cadogan danced the sword in his hand like a windmill. He continued, "Speak of your evil purpose, great Cadogan. Sir Gen can spare your life!"

Ada pursed her lips and suppressed her anger and said: "Here, do you see the prefect badge? I am the prefect of Gryffindor, let me in!"

"I saw it, but so what? The password is wrong, and Dumbledore can't go in. Why are there more prefects!" The first half of Sir Cadogan's sentence was normal, but the second half was hit again, "Come on, Let us fight to the death, brave Sir Cadogan never fears the devil!"

Ada suddenly wanted to escape from the wand and tidy up Sir Cadogan's appearance. She finally understood why Black destroyed the Fat Lady's portrait in anger after being rejected by the Fat Lady. She really wants to do this now, it must be very relaxing.

At this time, a Gryffindor student appeared behind Ada, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer.

When she heard someone approaching, Ada felt that she could stop looking for the scissors, but when she turned around and saw that the student was Neville Longbottom, she felt that she might as well continue looking for the scissors.

Just when Ada was about to take out her wand and turn it into a pair of scissors, Neville asked cautiously: "Why don't you go in?"

There is a fear ranking in Neville Longbottom's mind, and the top ones are Professor Snape and Mrs. Longbottom. Ada was also lucky enough to be on the list, even though she had never done anything to Neville.

"Neville, this old bastard Cadogan changed his password again, so I can't enter the lounge." Ada said resignedly, "Let's just wait here until someone comes over, or there is someone in the lounge. come out."

Hearing that the password was changed again, Neville stopped picking his pocket and asked in a panic: "When was it changed? Why was it changed again? I haven't remembered the last one!"

"This morning, you forgetful little chubby guy." Sir Cadogan hesitated for a moment, but decided to remind Neville, "Didn't you say the new password correctly at noon?"

Neville suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and continued where he had stopped in panic. After a while, after Neville checked all his pockets, he finally took out a piece of paper.

Ada leaned over and took a look curiously. The note was densely written with the passwords for the break room. This was really a policy from above and a countermeasure from below.

"Black is a cowardly son of a bitch." Neville spread out the notes and read out one of them slowly.

"That's right! Black is a cowardly bitch. He doesn't even dare to fight to the death with Uncle Cadogan!"

Sir Cadogan shouted loudly as he opened the entrance to the lounge. Neither Ada nor Neville listened to Sir Cadogan's heroic words. As soon as the entrance to the cave was revealed, they immediately got in.

The common room was very lively. After Ada told Neville to keep his note and never lose it, she returned to her friends.

The twins and Li Jordan maintained the same posture, crossing their legs and looking in the direction of the boys' dormitory with puzzled faces. Angelina and Alia's postures were similar, but they didn't cross their legs, and they were looking in the girls' dormitory.

Seeing the unified appearance of her friends, Ada's good mood was ruined and turned into curiosity. What's going on with them? Is there some great campus couple in Gryffindor?

It’s not because Ada is so imaginative, but because the friends’ behavior is so weird and magical.

"Can anyone tell me what happened?"

The friends all turned to look at Ada, which made her jump. Soon, the friends explained the matter clearly. The cause of the matter originated from a Christmas gift Harry received.

On Christmas Day, Harry received an expensive Christmas gift, the most expensive and professional flying broomstick and Firebolt on the market, and such a generous gift was actually sent anonymously.

Firebolt, price negotiable, Ada wanted to buy it during the holidays but couldn't. Now, Harry was about to ride the Firebolt for the rest of the Quidditch matches. Happy birthday, the wealthy generation is driving F1 to participate in amateur competitions! Is there still king's law? Is there still law?

Although Professor McGonagall gave Harry Nimbus 2000 as a gift, Ada did not think Professor McGonagall would give him a Firebolt. The reason is simple. The price of the Firebolt is too expensive. Such an expensive gift and such special treatment will cause collective dissatisfaction among other students.

The same goes for Dumbledore. As the principal, he will cause more students to be dissatisfied. Professor Lupine takes good care of Harry, and will personally instruct Harry on the Patronus Charm this semester. However, Professor Lupine's own life is very difficult, and he simply cannot afford that much money.

"Now that the Firebolt has arrived in the hands of Professor McGonagall, she wants to check if there is any curse on it. She suspects that it was sent by Sirius Black." Fred complained.

George continued: "This is all because of Hermione. She told Professor McGonagall about it. I saw a smaller version of you, Prefect Drizzt."

Ada didn't think so. She felt that Hermione's actions were not wrong. There is no mistake in being careful, but it is a mistake in being careless. What if there is really a curse on this broomstick, and Harry falls from the sky dozens of feet high again?

However, Ada was more concerned about another thing. As the last man in the Black family, the price of the Firebolt should be nothing to him. But the problem is, Sirius is a fugitive, how can he negotiate the price and order the broomstick? This is the key to the problem.

Who helped Sirius Black?
