Chapter 162 Ada: I can't stand this grievance

There are always some people who cannot bear to see others do well, and seeing others make a fool of themselves is the greatest joy in their lives. Today, they finally waited for Ada to make a fool of herself, which was enough for them to celebrate.

They thought this was a perfect opportunity to slap Ada in the face. As long as Harry performed well enough in the official competition, he would be slapping Ada hard in the face. The better he performed, the more painful it would be.

It's a pity that they will never see such a scene in their lifetime. Ada doesn't care that Harry becomes the Seeker. As long as it's not her, anyone can be the Seeker. Ada doesn't care whether Harry or others perform well or not. This is not her pain point at all.

It’s because the twins understand Ada well. They know what Ada cares about. What Ada cares about is that Harry’s broomstick was given to him by Professor McGonagall.

That's right, Ada was jealous. It was a very childish behavior, extremely childish. This kind of emotion should not have appeared in her, but it actually appeared.

If it was Dumbledore who bought Harry Potter a broomstick, Ada wouldn't care. She wouldn't care even if Dumbledore bought Harry Potter a rocket.

But the one who gave Harry Potter the Nimbus 2000 was Professor McGonagall. How could Ada not think too much? It was this strong sense of crisis that made Ada feel that she was no longer Professor McGonagall's favorite child.

Ada never thought that one day she would become like Ron and end up being Ron's younger brother.

There are seven children in the Weasley family. It is naturally impossible for Mr. and Mrs. Weasley to divide their love for their children into seven equal parts. They are just ordinary people and cannot be so equal.

Ron was not the eldest son, Bill. At that time, the Weasleys had just become parents and naturally favored the eldest son. He was not the youngest either. Ginny was the youngest and would be loved by everyone in the family. At the same time, Ron was not the most outstanding one. He was not Charlie or Percy.

Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were kind people. They would not mistreat their children. They loved Ron very much, but compared to his other brothers, Ron was indeed the one who received the least love.

This situation is rare in families with many children. Parents are also human beings. They cannot divide the wealth equally or treat everyone equally. Some children will get more, and some will naturally get less.

Ada felt that in Professor McGonagall's eyes, she was Ron in the Weasley family, and Harry Potter was Bill, Charlie, or Ginny. Anyway, they were all the more loved ones.

Jealousy can make a person unrecognizable and tear a person apart. Ada knew that she must look disgusting now, so ugly that no one could bear to look at her. She felt like she had just eaten a large basket of lemons, and the sour water kept overflowing from her heart, almost drowning her whole body.

In the Transfiguration class, Ada hoped that Professor McGonagall could comfort her. Her face was full of "Come and comfort me, I'm very easy to comfort." Unfortunately, she cast her seductive eyes to the blind man, and Professor McGonagall didn't understand her abnormality and thought that Ada was uncomfortable.

Professor McGonagall had been married before, but the happy time only lasted three years. Professor McGonagall had no children and no experience in raising children. If it were Mrs. Weasley today, she would be able to see at a glance what was wrong with Ada.

This is what it means that everyone has their own expertise. When it comes to Transfiguration, Professor McGonagall is ten blocks ahead of Mrs. Weasley. When it comes to raising children, Mrs. Weasley can beat Professor McGonagall by ten blocks.

In addition, Ada always pretended to be sensible, which made Professor McGonagall never expect that Ada actually had the skill of being jealous. For the knowledgeable Professor McGonagall, this question was not only beyond the scope but also too difficult. She really couldn't do it.

Ada saw all of Professor McGonagall's "inaction", and she felt even more upset. Now Ada was just like the heroine in a third-rate TV series, making trouble for no reason, except that she was not making trouble for the hero, but for herself.

Professor McGonagall was right about one thing. Ada was indeed feeling unwell these past two days. As a human being, there are always a few days of discomfort every month, accompanied by irritability, anxiety, sensitivity and other emotions. If the flying broom had come a few days earlier or a few days later, there wouldn't be so many problems, but it chose this critical moment, as if its arrival was just to irritate Ada.

In the past two days, Ada had been adjusting and controlling her emotions, trying not to affect others. But the arrival of the flying broom in the morning caused Ada's peaceful state of mind to collapse, and all her previous efforts were wasted, and she could no longer continue to adjust herself.

In the whole Hogwarts, only the twins knew that Ada was in a bad mood, but Ada herself was stuck in a dead end and did not listen to the twins' words of comfort.

To Ada, the twins' consolation was pure deception. "The Nimbus 2000 was originally prepared for you, but you're not playing now, so it was transferred to Harry." Wasn't it just the twins treating her like a three-year-old child?
Ada was temporarily assigned as the Seeker in the first week of school. Now half a month has passed, and there is no sign of a broom. Ada wanted to ask them: What kind of owl can fly so slowly that it can't bring back a broken broom in half a month? Errol?
There was Potions class in the afternoon. Snape basically ignored Ada's existence. As long as Ada didn't blow up the classroom like Seamus Finnigan did, Snape would not care about her. The Potions Professor was angry with Ada now, so he planned to leave her alone.

This method was completely fine before, but today Ada was abnormal, so abnormal that she added too much leech juice into the crucible. Ada made a mistake in the chaos and ruined the whole potion. She dared to say that her "shrinking potion" could poison everyone in the classroom!

Ada didn't want to stay in the underground classroom any longer. She needed to calm herself down and regain her lost rationality and peace of mind. Ada raised her hand and said, "Professor Snape, I'm not feeling well today. Can I leave early?"

Snape didn't even look at her. He said, "No, there are all kinds of potions in the cabinet. Find a bottle and drink it. If you accidentally poison yourself, I will not be responsible."

The Potions Professor didn't know about Ada's abnormal behavior today. He thought Ada was just trying to attract his attention. He would not forgive Ada so easily. He would talk about it next month. Don't even think about it this month.

Soon, the students in the classroom saw Ada leave her seat, but she did not go to the cabinet where the potions were kept, but went straight to the classroom door.

"If you go back to your seat now, Gryffindor won't be deducted points." Snape said. The threat of deducting points has always been effective against Ada. He used this trick to subdue Ada in the beginning.

But this trick was doomed to fail today. Ada didn't care whether Gryffindor would lose points or not. Snape's threat of deducting points made her feel even more uncomfortable.

If it weren't for Professor McGonagall, who would care whether Gryffindor was deducted points or not. Even if Gryffindor was ranked last for many years, it didn't matter. Ada would still graduate. She cared about the collective, so who cared about her!

Ada turned around and looked at Snape. She smiled and asked, "Five points? Or ten points? If that's not enough, how about fifty points?"

After saying that, Ada left the underground classroom directly. Ada knew that she shouldn't have such emotions, nor should she question Professor McGonagall's preference for her, but she couldn't help thinking so.

The classroom was very quiet. No one dared to speak. No one wanted to offend Snape. The little lions had waited for Ada to confront Snape for more than two years. Today they finally saw it. The deduction of points was worth it.

"Gryffindor will be deducted points..." Snape only said half of it and didn't continue, and Gryffindor was not deducted points.

The reason why Snape deliberately ignored Ada was that Ada and Harry Potter got together, and this familiar scene made him uncomfortable, as if what happened that year was happening again.

The look in Ada's eyes when she left the classroom just now made him feel even worse. He seemed to see the past and himself in a trance.
