The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 201 Debt Collector Aida
Ron had just woken up, and his brain was still not working well. After seeing these three people, Ron's brain was even more inefficient. He didn't wonder how Ada got back to school, because he didn't remember that Ada was "expelled".

Ron blurted out the question and made Ada and the twins laugh. Fred said, "I'll tell Mom, Ronald Weasley, you're dead this time. Mom will beat your ass!"

"If mom knew her beloved little Ronnie had violated so many school rules, she would be very sad," George said, even imitating his mother and wiping away non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Now is not the time to talk about this. Snape is in there trying to steal the Philosopher's Stone. Harry has gone to stop him, but Dumbledore is not in school..." Ron said incoherently, "We must stop Snape and protect the Philosopher's Stone."

"Don't worry, Ron. Our purpose here is similar to yours." Ada did not tease Ron. "However, we are not here to stop Professor Snape, but to stop Quirrell."

"Who?" Ron's brain crashed. Wasn't it Snape? Why did it change to Quirrell? Ron pointed in the direction of the next room, hesitating, and couldn't utter a word for a long time.

"From the beginning, it was Quirrell, not Snape, who wanted to steal the Philosopher's Stone." Fred explained to his poor brother, "On the day when Gringotts was robbed, didn't Harry run into Quirrell in the Leaky Cauldron? Because it was him who robbed Gringotts!"

"It was Quirrell who put the Halloween troll in the school. He wanted to take this opportunity to come here, but he failed because of Snape." George continued, "On the day of the Quidditch match, it was Quirrell who wanted to harm Harry, and Snape was protecting Harry. Do you understand, my stupid brother?"

Ron nodded blankly. He thought his brain might have been eaten by the ghouls above the Burrow. Otherwise, why didn't he notice these things at all?
Ron's brain was not good, and the smart one of the young trio also appeared in the chessboard room. She had just solved Snape's problem and came back here from the front. Hermione was still thinking about how to take Ron away and how to inform the professor, and then she saw the sober Ron and the three people beside him.

"you……"

"Why are we here?" The twins continued in unison, "It's a long story, and it's not appropriate to talk about it now."

"Okay, Fred, take Ron and Hermione away from here first. Ron needs to see Madam Pomfrey. Don't leave any sequelae on this stupid head." Ada said, "George, go inform the professor. You know how to find him."

Fred and George joined Ron and stood up. They did not question Ada's decision. If they continued to move forward, they would only become a burden to Ada.

The two brothers could not become outstanding wizards like Ada, but they never envied Ada, nor did they alienate her because of her excellence. They would not belittle themselves. They knew their strengths and knew how to protect Ada.

"Ada, I'm afraid you can't help Harry. The road ahead is blocked by black flames, and the potion that can pass through the flames is only enough for Harry alone." Hermione said. Although Ada did not mention herself, Hermione already knew what Ada was going to do.

Ada reached out and ruffled Hermione's hair, and it felt really good.

She said, "Hermione, thank you for your reminder. Fred, George and I had already been to the last room more than a month ago. The fireproof potion on the table was made by me."

After hearing what Ada said, Hermione became as dazed as Ron. The inferiority complex she had at the beginning of the school year came flooding back to her: Is this what a top student should look like? She was so far behind Ada, almost ten times as far as Ron...

"George, you can explain the whole story to the confused Miss Granger on the way. See you later, everyone." Ada said as she walked forward, moving her joints in preparation for the battle in a while.

Ada passed the remaining two rooms effortlessly, entered the room where the Mirror of Erised was, and entered the room where Quirrell, Harry and Voldemort were.

"Why are you here?" Quirrell asked. He was also surprised to see Ada suddenly appear.

Why does everyone ask this? In your eyes, am I, Cui, so unworthy of staying in Hogwarts?
Ada asked with a smile: "Why don't you continue pretending to stutter? The show isn't over yet, can you be more professional?"

"Why are you here?" Quirrell asked again angrily.

"I'm here to settle accounts with you! You haven't paid for the glass of brandy yet, are you planning to default on it?" Ada continued, "You're a professor, and you're just defaulting on your students' money. I think I should report this to the principal." Quirrell couldn't remember when he owed Ada a glass of brandy, but he knew that Ada was here to stop him, and that was enough. Quirrell had hated Ada for a long time. This student and her friends always embarrassed him, and this time he just wanted to deal with her as well.

"Don't hesitate, kill them both!" Voldemort's voice at the back of his head said harshly.

"Oh, so there's more than one person in this body of yours. How do you calculate this? Are you two souls in one body or are you two-faced?" Ada's teasing diluted the murderous intent in the room. It wasn't that Ada looked down on Quirrell, but she didn't take the professor seriously at all.

"Avada Kedavra!" A green light shone from the tip of Quirrell's staff and headed straight for Ada.

Ada dodged the killing curse herself, and at the same time waved her left hand to send Harry behind her to the side. Both of them dodged the fatal spell.

"What should I call the one on the back of your head, the Dark Lord?" Ada shook her head and denied the title. "No, no, no, in my mind, there is someone else who is the Dark Lord. Let's just call him Voldemort!"

"Kill her, kill them, you rubbish!" Voldemort roared at the back of his head. A student, a mudblood, actually dared to call him by his name. This was unforgivable!

Quirrell obeyed Voldemort's orders, and his attack was crazy, with green light constantly shooting out from his wand. Because of the characteristics of the Killing Curse, Ada did not try to block it, but she easily dodged all of Quirrell's attacks.

The sky-blue robe swayed with Ada's figure, like a dancing swan. Harry, who was hiding aside, looked at Ada in front of him, and he remembered the shock that Ada brought to him when they first met. Today, he once again witnessed Ada's strength.

But in fact, Ada was not as relaxed as Harry looked, and she didn't want to dance in a minefield. If she wasn't careful, she might lose her life, so she couldn't afford to be careless.

After several killing curses were dodged in succession, Quirrell became more anxious, and the roaring sound at the back of his head made him even more agitated.

The anxious Quirrell gave Ada a chance to fight back. The ring on Ada's left hand opened as a shield to block a killing curse. The low sound of the impact continued to echo in the underground room.

Taking advantage of this gap, Ada shot out the Crushing Curse, which was full of her anger. She triggered the double casting of "Reckless" for the first time.

The double spell cast by the unruly Ada made Quirrell very embarrassed. He just barely blocked the spell and avoided being blown to pieces. Although he blocked the crushing spell, Quirrell found that this battle was no longer under his control. The situation was completely reversed. He could only keep waving his wand to prevent Ada's spell from hitting him.

Ada did not use any dark magic, nor did she use any large-scale magic, because she was worried about hurting Harry. But even so, Ada, who became more confident and calm, still suppressed Quirrell in the fight.

The connection between spells became smoother, the offensive transitions became more reasonable, and Quirrell was affected by Voldemort's existence. As a result, it was normal for him to be suppressed.

"You useless idiot! She's worrying about that Potter kid. Go attack that child!" Voldemort on the back of his head reminded Quirrell. He really couldn't bear to watch it anymore. Why did he choose such a fool?

We can't blame Voldemort, we can only blame him for hiding in the jungles of Albania. Quirrell was the only one who had been there in all these years, and he had no choice.

After blocking a series of attacks from Ada, Quirrell took advantage of the gap between Ada's attacks and leaped up and rushed directly towards Harry. He wanted to capture Harry and make the annoying Ada hesitate.

After dealing with Ada, he will force Harry to tell him the whereabouts of the Philosopher's Stone.
