The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 171 Fred and George's Highlight Moment

This wave of spell upgrades has brought real improvements to Ada. As her abilities grow, her self-confidence will also expand.

With her confidence swelled, Ada feels that she can now beat ten people!

She would fight ten people, but it was not certain whether she could win. The more likely possibility was that Ada would be beaten up by these ten people and be admitted to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries again.

The ranking of the most searched terms for Hogwarts has not changed for a long time, and it still stays on the troll. Ada had to complain about Quirrell's incompetence again. The Christmas holiday was approaching, and the villain was still like nothing had happened, and he didn't do anything that a villain should do.

Sometimes Ada felt that she was too strict with Quirrell. After all, it was not easy for him to finish a class well. Not only did he need to burn incense and pray for good fortune, but his ancestors' graves also had to be filled with smoke.

The semester was almost halfway over, and not even a quarter of the Defense Against the Dark Arts content had been covered. What other professors could cover in one class might take Quirrell three or four classes.

It wasn't that Ada laughed at his stuttering, his poor speech was only one of the reasons that slowed down his lectures, the main reason was his timidity and incompetence. Students often disrupted his classes, frightened him, and almost sent him to see Merlin several times.

Every time Quirrell was frightened by the students' cheap pranks, but he never got angry. Being able to play tricks on the professor without being punished, the bored students took action one after another, and the trend of persecuting Quirrell became more and more serious.

Fortunately, Quirrell didn't have to see the students this weekend, and he could leave the castle and breathe some fresh air. Because the third-year and above students all went to Hogsmeade, and these people were the main force that persecuted Quirrell.

Hogsmeade is a village where wizards gather, right next to the school, but Hogwarts does not allow first and second year students to visit the village. Students in third year and above also need the consent of their parents or guardians to go to Hogsmeade on specific weekends.

When anything is restricted, more people become interested in it, and going to Hogsmeade is like that.

Early in the morning, students gathered on the first floor, and more and more people gathered. Almost everyone who could go to Hogsmeade came, because this was the last chance for students to go there before the Christmas holidays, and no one wanted to miss it.

It is such an important opportunity, but some people don't want to go because Hogsmeade is no longer attractive to them.

These three people are Ada and the twins who own the Marauder's Map. They had been there in the first grade. Knowing the seven secret passages leading to Hogsmeade, they can go there whenever they want without the school's permission or their parents' signatures.

It snowed heavily two days ago. The snow outside was very deep, and it made a crackling sound when you stepped on it. Several younger students were having a friendly snowball fight.

Seeing people having a snowball fight, Fred and George also got itchy hands. They walked while making snowballs in their hands, planning to throw them at people they knew.

Ada didn't make a snowball because the snow was so cold that she didn't want to freeze her hands. If she needed to throw a snowball, she could just use the ones made by the twins, or she could just knock the other side down and then dig a hole to bury it.

After walking around for a long time, the twins didn't see anyone familiar. Instead of throwing the snowballs, they just kept getting bigger and bigger. The twins, who were in a playful mood, simply pulled Ada to build a snowman.

The twins were working very hard, but Ada stood aside with her arms folded, not wanting to get involved. Ada was so lazy that she didn't want to move at all, nor did she want her white and tender hands to be frozen like chicken feet.

"Ada, now I give you two choices. Either you lend your hand and build a snowman with us..."

"Either we two throw you into a snowbank, tell us your choice,"

This lazy behavior of sitting back and enjoying the fruits of others' labor naturally did not escape the twins' eyes, so the two brothers gave Ada an ultimatum and asked her to make a choice.

Ada had no choice but to lend a hand and roll snowballs with the twins. As the snowballs grew bigger, Ada found that rolling snowballs was actually quite relaxing, though it was a little cold for her hands.

After rolling the big snowball, Ada entered the castle to look for the snowman's arms. There was a biting cold draft in the corridor, so Ada didn't look carefully. She just picked up two brooms, stepped on them and broke them, and took them out of the castle. These two innocent brooms should belong to Filch. I hope he won't cry to Mrs. Norris because he can't find the brooms.

When Ida came back with the two halves of the broom, the twins had already rolled a smaller snowball and were placing it on top of the big one.

After the two brothers put it in place, Ida walked up and stuck the half of the broom in. The twins found two stones of similar size and used them as the snowman's eyes. Ida also took off the red ribbon that tied her hair and used it as the snowman's mouth.

The three people who had finished their work were satisfied and admired their work. After looking at it for a while, they felt something was wrong, because the snowman had no nose!
When the three were discussing whether to give the snowman a nose, Quirrell's figure suddenly appeared in their sight, and the discussion about the snowman's nose came to an abrupt end, as if the snowman was not supposed to have a nose.

The appearance of Quirrell gave Ada and the twins a new goal. Who would care whether the snowman has a nose or not!
The twins didn't even need to look at each other, they just bent down and started to make snowballs quickly. After making the snowballs, the twins threw them directly at Quirrell, and both snowballs hit Quirrell.

Whenever there were other people around, Quirrell would get into the act and disguise himself as a completely harmless person.

Quirrell, who was hit by the snowball, did not show his anger, but started his superb acting skills. He let out a scream, as if a female ghost gave him a warm hug from behind.

Looking at Quirrell who never forgot to perform, Fred and George finally remembered their identities as wizards. They took out their wands and cast spells on the snowballs, making several snowballs chase Quirrell and hit him at the same time.

The enchanted snowball flew straight towards Quirrell, who loved to perform, and Quirrell stood there in a daze, as if he was frightened. It was not until a classmate reminded him that he staggered away, screaming at the top of his lungs.

In fact, Quirrell only needed to wave his wand to make the snowballs chasing him fall to the ground, but he didn't do that. In the eyes of bystanders, to Quirrell, these snowballs were as scary as trolls, because he would just cover his head and run away.

Ada was so delighted that she silently evaluated Qi Luo's acting skills in her heart. She said that his acting was too superficial and his level was not even good enough for "Actors Please Take Your Place".

Maybe Quirrell heard Ada's thoughts, or maybe he realized that his performance was really poor. He protected his head and ran towards the castle, wanting to leave the stage.

Although Quirrell successfully escaped, he still couldn't escape the fate of being hit by a snowball.

The twins sped up the flying snowballs, and the faster snowballs caught up with Quirrell before he could escape into the castle, hitting his turban.

"It's so boring. Even after humiliating him like this, he still acts like this. I don't know if he is really a coward or just too immersed in the role." Fred said.

Neither of the twins high-fived, and you can imagine how disappointed the two brothers were with Quirrell's performance.

"How about we just take his precious turban away next time?" George came up with a great idea. "He didn't forget to protect his turban even when being hit by a snowball. That thing must be very important to him."

It is said that twins have unique ways of thinking and see things from a unique perspective! If they hadn't mentioned it, Ada would not have noticed that Quirrell was protecting the turban. Ada would have thought he was just protecting his head.

Ada, who was still wondering why the turban was so important, never imagined that Quirrell would tell Professor McGonagall about it, and even included herself in the show.

The twins who were discussing how to take away the turban also did not expect that throwing snowballs at Quirrell's turban would be the highlight of their lives. They actually confronted Voldemort earlier than Ada.
