The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 179: Violence caused by black whistle

Quirrell, who was sitting in the stands, was still wearing his ugly turban. People around him stayed away from him. His strange outfit was not acceptable to others.

However, Quirrell didn't care about the alienation of the people around him. His eyes were fixed on Snape who was standing on the field. It was he who had ruined his good deeds before.

If it weren't for Snape, Quirrell thought he would have thrown Harry to death long ago, and his master would have rewarded him. Today, this person even applied for the position of referee for this game. Did he think that this would stop him?

Quirrell forced a smile, probably because he always pretended to stutter, his smile was more like a facial twitch. Quirrell would not let a little Snape stop him, didn't he see that he was playing tricks on him, and the savior Potter even placed his suspicion on him, and didn't suspect himself at all.

Who would doubt poor Quirrell?
Snape, who was standing on the court, was also looking for Quirrell's location in the stands. He appeared here to prevent Quirrell from taking action and to deepen Harry Potter's suspicion of himself.

Through his own observations over the past year, Snape discovered that Harry's talent was far inferior to Ada's, and he could not do what Ada did in her first year. In this case, it would be better to let Harry deviate from the truth of the matter. The further away from the truth, the less likely he would be hurt.

Thinking of this, Snape's face turned gloomy. The man on the eighth floor had been paying close attention to the progress of the matter, but he neither intervened nor made adjustments. It seemed that he didn't care about Harry's safety at all.

As he was thinking, Snape saw Dumbledore appear on the court. Snape didn't know that he was here to watch the game today, otherwise he wouldn't have applied for the position of referee, but the Potions Professor immediately understood the headmaster's intention.

Quirrell in the stands also saw Dumbledore's appearance. He was still thinking about how to kill Harry unnoticed, but the next second after he saw the headmaster, Quirrell's mind went blank.

Quirrell's eyes were full of panic, his hands on his knees trembling uncontrollably, he kept asking himself: What should I do? Have I been discovered? In addition to Snape, is the damn Dumbledore also suspicious of me? What should I do?
Just when Quirrell was feeling frightened, a faint voice came from his turban: "Keep calm, idiot! Didn't Dumbledore not catch you directly? What are you afraid of!"

The voice sounded very weak, as if saying this sentence had exhausted all his strength. But with just this one sentence, Quirrell, who was still in a panic, quickly calmed down.

Although Quirrell's hands were still shaking slightly, they were much stronger than before.

When the players from both teams lined up to walk towards the field, Ada had just arrived. After returning from the Forbidden Forest, Ada took a bath first, and then hurried over, so she arrived a little later than Dumbledore.

This game attracted a lot of attention. Almost all the teachers and students in the school came. It took Ada a lot of effort to squeeze into the stands. Because there were so many people, students from different colleges stood in a mixed manner, not as clearly separated as in the past.

On the field, referee Snape's whistle was indeed somewhat biased towards Hufflepuff, and he awarded Hufflepuff a free kick opportunity for no reason.

If this whistle were to be spread among the Muggles, a large group of people would probably think that Snape was paid and was operating for someone else.

Ada thought: Professor Snape's original intention was to protect Harry and help Hufflepuff. However, since Dumbledore came today, he didn't need to protect Harry, he just needed to help Hufflepuff.

He is worthy of being Snape, the head of Slytherin.

The Gryffindor players must be unhappy with such blatant favoritism. Their eyes were filled with anger and they wished they could knock Snape off his broom.

The favored Hufflepuff was also confused, thinking to himself: Does Snape have such a good relationship with our Professor Sprout?
One teaches potions, the other teaches herbs, which is a bit like "you fetch water and I till the fields". If it weren't for the fact that they don't match, I guess these little badgers could imagine a school couple.

On the field, the twin brothers, who had always been bold and daring, began to think of revenge, and the two brothers really could not bear it anymore.

George swung his bat hard and hit the Bludger hard at Snape. If the Potions Professor hadn't dodged quickly, he would have been lying in the school hospital for a long time. The twins didn't want to do this, but Snape's penalty was so inhumane that George was so angry that he hit the ball at him.

Ada in the stands slammed the railings hard. In her opinion, George's behavior was too irrational. How could Snape, who could find reasons to penalize without any reason, let go of the opportunity given to him by George?

Sure enough, Snape blew the whistle again, and Hufflepuff got another free throw opportunity, and the Gryffindors at the scene booed.

The interrupted game resumed. Harry, who was hovering over the court like an eagle, suddenly made a beautiful dive and saw the Golden Snitch.

Cedric flew over after Harry moved, so how could he possibly catch up with Harry's Nimbus 2000? Actually, it was not his fault. It was just that Snape's penalty today was too confusing, and the entire Hufflepuff team was in a state of confusion.

The games being stopped all the time also affected the players' game status. Cedric's attention was obviously not focused enough, not as good as Harry who had been mentally prepared.

Seeing Cedric's slow reaction, Ada knew that the match was won, so she turned around to look at the direction of the quarrel behind her. She just heard someone quarreling in the stands behind her, and the noise sounded much more interesting than the match that was always interfered by the referee.

It didn't matter what she saw. It was the first time that Ada discovered that Ron, with his long arms and legs, was so agile. He flipped over the seat in an instant, jumped in front of Malfoy, and knocked Malfoy to the ground.

Ron and Malfoy, who fell to the ground, soon rolled into a ball. However, the crybaby Neville next to them behaved unexpectedly. He changed his cowardly image and fought alone against two of Malfoy's big bodyguards, Crabbe and Goyle.

Although he was beaten badly by two big guys, Neville held on to them tightly and refused to let go, giving Ron the opportunity to fight Malfoy alone. This scene was so touching. Ron had so many brothers at home, so it was easy for him to beat up a spoiled young master, right?

Parting the cheering and screaming crowd, Aida walked to the scene of the incident.

Goyle, one of the two big guys, was pressing on Neville and punching him. Crabbe had already broken away from Neville and wanted to support Malfoy.

Crabbe had just stood up when he felt someone tapping his shoulder. He threw his fist back without paying attention, but hit nothing. Crabbe turned around angrily and saw a blonde girl standing behind him. He froze immediately and stopped punching.

Ada looked at Crabbe with a smile. Although Snape usually took good care of Malfoy, Ada swore that she came here simply to break up the fight and had absolutely no intention of seeking personal revenge.

But the fat boy in front of her not only didn't appreciate it, but also kept hitting Ada's right hand with his face. Isn't this bullying? If this gets out, how will Ada survive in school in the future?
After hitting him a few times, perhaps feeling that the damage to the face was not enough, Crabbe fell to the ground and started to pretend to be innocent. This matter could not be solved without a hundred gold galleons.

The weak and helpless Ada retreated again and again, but accidentally bumped into Goyle who was pressing on Neville. The ferocious Goyle did not let go of the delicate Ada, and also beat Ada's left hand mercilessly with his face.

Hermione was standing in her seat, screaming and celebrating the victory of the game. She didn't notice the Slytherins bullying Gryffindor behind her at all.

When Hermione noticed it, she only saw Crabbe and Goyle, whose faces were swollen like pigs, lying on the ground and pretending to be bullied. Ron and Neville were also being bullied by Malfoy alone.

Of course, there was also Ada standing aside, with a look of grievance on her face, shaking her hands constantly.

The action of force is indeed mutual. Being slapped in the face, no, being hit in the face, is also very painful.
