Chapter 48 An unexpected call

The fire in the fireplace in the lounge made a crackling sound. Although it was almost the end of April, the temperature difference between day and night was still large, and the nights in Hogwarts were still a bit cold.

Firenze the Centaur told three first-year students who knew nothing about his prophecy. The message he conveyed had almost no effect. The prophecy he worked so hard to make was simply in vain, unless there was something wrong with his mind. Question, why else would he do this?

Except for the period of divination based on the stars, Firenze spoke very logically at other times, and it was obvious that there was nothing wrong with his mind. The centaur Firenze told them the results of his divination, and he should have revealed something to the three of them. The ones with brain problems were not the kind-hearted centaurs, but Ada themselves.

If you don't understand something, don't think about it for the time being, otherwise you will only get into trouble and fall into misunderstandings. Ada and the twins said good night to each other and went back to rest. Life must go on.

As April came to an end, Dumbledore left Hogwarts again, heading to London to attend Fudge's inauguration.

Fudge has been the Minister for some time. He has been busy handling the affairs of the Ministry of Magic and looks very much like a hard-working public servant of the wizarding world.

It's not that Fudge really didn't want to hold an inauguration ceremony. No one was willing to give up on such a glorious moment. It was just that Dumbledore had been staying at school and had no time, which made Fudge postpone his own ceremony.

Fudge invited Dumbledore to London again and again, and the Daily Prophet also publicized the behavior of the minister, Corporal Rixian. This made Fudge receive praise from the public, and the minister's position became more stable.

Dumbledore, who was "visited three times by the Cottage", finally left school and went to the Ministry of Magic. He needed to support his "puppet". This statement has been made since Fudge became Minister, and Foley's various actions seem to confirm the rumors that he is Dumbledore's "puppet".

Two days ago, the twins planned an elaborate prank on their old friend Filch, but they stumbled and were caught on the spot by the embarrassed Filch. As punishment, they had to clean the trophy room again.

The twins were not here, so Ada sat next to Angelina and Aaliyah during dinner, and the three of them talked about topics related to girls.

The headmaster's seat in the auditorium was empty. Dumbledore had not returned yet, and Snape's seat was also empty. Snape did not appear in the auditorium until the end of dinner.

After dinner, Ada left the auditorium alone. She did not go back to the lounge with Angelina and the others, but went to the kitchen. She was going to get some food so that the twins wouldn't be hungry when they came back from punishment.

Not far from the auditorium, a senior Slytherin girl stopped Ada.

"This is given to you by the professor." Senior Sister Slytherin said, "Remember to go on time."

Ada took the note and it said: Tonight at eight o'clock, underground classroom.

The note was written by Snape, and Ada had seen the handwriting on it many times. Snape hadn't visited Ada for a long time. Although he didn't know what the purpose of this summons was, if she dared not go, she would definitely die miserably in the Potions class the day after tomorrow.

"I really don't know what he likes about you. You don't look like there's anything special about you." The senior said in a confused manner.

Ada was startled by the voice of the senior sister who delivered the letter. The Slytherin who usually came to deliver letters to her would leave immediately after putting down the note, without even bothering to talk nonsense to Ada. So she thought that this senior sister would leave early like everyone else, but she never expected that this senior sister would actually stay and talk to her.

What this senior sister probably said was that she couldn't understand why Snape chose Ada.

Ada herself didn't even think about this, let alone her. Ada, who spoke upright about her appearance, said: "Actually, I refuse it myself. If senior sister likes it, she can definitely go for me."

Ada returned the note in her hand to the senior, but she had no intention of accepting it.

"Don't be ignorant! Niba..." This senior's tone was very bad, and swear words almost came out of her mouth.

The Slytherin girl approached Ada and whispered: "You'd better go early and don't let people wait for you for too long! I'm not an idiot like Avery who embarrasses pure bloods. Even if you don't do what I say, , I also have plenty of ways to deal with you!"

The senior who seemed to be acting abnormal finally behaved normally. She left directly after uttering threatening words, and before leaving, she glared at Ada with disgust.

Ada was indifferent to the threats from Slytherin girls. This kind of harsh words really had no lethality. Her harsh words were much more powerful than the other party's.

She planned to head to the underground classroom on the right foot. If this girl dared to come and cause trouble for her, that would be what Ada wanted, and it would not be certain who would look good to whom.

After returning to the dormitory, Ada, Angelina and the others chatted and completed the homework assigned by the professors of each subject. She also wanted to talk to the twins about this "abnormal senior" today, but she waited for a long time but the twins never came back.

The twins are very knowledgeable about cleaning the trophy room, not to mention the trophy room. The twins are very familiar with Filch's punishments. They have all experienced these punishments and are very experienced.

The twins were taken away by Filch at the end of the afternoon class today. Logically speaking, it was already around this time and the twins should have been back long ago.

Ada looked up at the clock in the lounge. It was almost eight o'clock. She couldn't wait any longer. She didn't like being late. After entrusting Angelina with the food and leaving a note, Ada hurriedly left the lounge.

Ada felt a little strange while walking on the road. Snape asked her to go to the underground classroom at eight o'clock, but this time was actually a bit late. When Snape summoned her, he usually set it at seven o'clock in the evening, and the latest was It won't be past seven-thirty.

In order to prevent students from wandering around the castle at night, Hogwarts has set a curfew time, and the curfew time for lower grades is earlier. Setting the time at eight o'clock didn't leave much time for Ada, and Ada couldn't get much done.

There are not many students in the corridor anymore, and the bright and warm lounge is obviously more attractive than the corridor. Most of the people still in the corridor were senior students, and the junior students had returned to their respective lounges early.

After all, students like Ada and the twins who like to wander around the school and violate disciplines are in the minority. Most students are still very obedient. Otherwise, Filch would have died of overwork long ago, and the twins and the twins would never have had their turn. He's on the line.

All the way to the underground classroom, there were no students visible here. Everyone only comes here during class. No one likes gloomy underground classrooms, and they wouldn't choose this place for hanging out.

The firelight in the gloomy corridor was a little weak, and the light and dark around Ada's face were uncertain. The dim corridor did not delay her steps. Ada, who had been summoned by Snape many times, was very familiar with this road. She could now find the location with her eyes closed.

When she walked to the classroom door, the tightly closed classroom door made Ada feel even more strange.

Normally Snape would not lock the door. He usually leaves the door open for Ada, so that after knocking on the door, Ada can enter the classroom directly without having to bother him to open the door.

But today it was different. The dark door was kept tightly closed. Ada stretched out her hand to push but did not push. When she knocked on the door, there was no sound from the classroom.

The atmosphere today was a little unusual. Ada took out her wand and knocked on the classroom door again with her free left hand. She asked: "Professor? Professor Snape?"

There was still no response from the door, and the corridors on both sides were still empty. Only the sound of knocking on the door echoed in the shadow of the firelight.

He took out a piece of paper with the time and address clearly written on it, and Ada was not wrong. The handwriting on the note was exactly the same as Snape's, so it didn't look like someone's prank.

Snape would not joke about this kind of thing. Although he had a bad personality and his venomous comments would always hurt students, he was still a qualified professor.

What's more, it's hard to say whether Snape had the humorous element of "joking" in his mind.

Ada planned to leave first. Something was wrong with Snape not showing up at the teacher's seat today. The agreed time was eight o'clock, and the door to the underground classroom was locked... If there was nothing hidden inside, Ada went to wash Snape's hair!

Facing the classroom door, Ada slowly backed away. She carefully observed everything around her. Leaving safely was the most important thing for Ada to do now.

Ada concentrated on the situation in front of her. As for who set her up, it would be better to go back and think about it.

Just when she was about to leave, there was a sudden "click" sound from the closed classroom door. Ada quickly raised her wand. The classroom door opened from the inside, and the dark classroom appeared in front of Ada.

"Collapse!" Ada directly fired a [Stunning Curse], and the spell rushed into the classroom with light, but her spell did not hit anyone, and it was blocked.

A figure slowly emerged from the dark classroom, with a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth.

"How could it be you?"
