The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 290 Suspicious Ada

Lupin was also a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts. He was the student that Quirrell and Lockhart had spent almost a year trying to deal with, but he was able to deal with it with just a few words. It's true that people get killed when compared to others, and goods get thrown away when compared to others!

Lupin had not arranged any difficult content for this class, and with two scumbags misleading the students one after another, the fifth-grade students' Defense Against the Dark Arts level was really worrying.

What Lupin prepared was a big-headed hairy monster, a magical beast, but the diet of this magical beast is humans.

The big-headed monster usually lives in Eastern Europe. It has a hairy body and a large, smooth gray head, even though it is only one foot tall. When the big-headed monster lies on the ground, it looks like a large, shiny, round stone.

This creature likes to follow people and hide in their shadows. Once the owner of the shadow turns around, it will quickly lie on the ground. It deserves this name better than Voldemort.

Imagine a big furry head following you for hours on end. Wouldn't the stress and fear make you collapse?
Even if you survive this stress and fear, the monster's special abilities can create an intense feeling of boredom that eventually turns into lethargic despair.

When you fall to your knees helplessly on the ground, you become a delicious meal for the big-headed hairy monster, and it will jump on you and enjoy you to its heart's content.

It's full of sinister words, psychological suggestion and psychological control, which makes the big-headed hairy monster sound like a devil, but in fact it is surprisingly easy to deal with.

Usually, big-headed hairy monsters only attack lone travelers or children. They dare not target a group.

Even if you are accidentally left alone in Eastern Europe and are unlucky enough to encounter a big-headed hairy monster, please don't panic or be afraid, because this kind of demon is not that scary.

All you need to do is take out your magic wand and give it a hard hit, and then you will find that the big-headed hairy monster is easily driven away by you.

If you are not proficient in magic or are too nervous to cast spells, just kick it hard, as hard as you can. This is also a good way to deal with the big-headed hairy monster.

It is so simple, but many people still don't know how to do it. In addition to Muggles, many wizards also make big-headed hairy monster snacks.

When Professor Lupin just took out the big-headed hairy monster, the students in the classroom shrank back in unison. There was nothing they could do as the psychological trauma was too great.

It had been a long time since they had seen living teaching aids in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom. The last time they had seen a living thing was back in Quirrell's time, and the poor fifth-year students had never even seen a Cornish elf.

Soon everyone discovered that the big-headed hairy monster could not cause any teaching accidents. With so many people in the classroom, the little devil could not choose its prey. Professor Lupin also had a way to control the big-headed hairy monster, which made the students feel a lot more at ease.

The big-headed monster shrank into a stone, and only when Professor Lupin waved his wand would it reveal its true form.

After the class, everyone was impressed by Professor Lupin. Everyone felt lucky to have met Professor Lupin in their fifth year, and their OWLs didn't seem so dark anymore.

After class, everyone was still discussing Professor Lupin's wonderful class in the corridor.

Even the twins, who loved everything except studying, liked Lupin very much. They chatted with Lee Jordan beside them, wondering what surprise Lupin would give them in the next class.

All this excitement had nothing to do with Ada. Her curiosity not only did not ease, but became even stronger.

From the Patronus Charm, Ada could tell that Remus Lupin was a skilled wizard, and a wizard with a secret. Why would a skilled wizard be so poor and starving?

Because of magic, there is a limit to how poor wizards can be. The Weasley family is the representative of poverty in the wizarding world, but at least they have a big house, every meal is not bad, and they can feed a large group of children and send them to school.

But why is Lupin, who is alone and feeds his family, so poor? In other words, is the secret that Lupin hides the reason for his poverty?
Ada was very curious, and Snape had said more than once that she would be killed by her curiosity sooner or later. But this time, Ada couldn't be blamed for being curious or suspicious, because she was incompatible with the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.

In her first year, she met Benedict Foley, a Death Eater candidate, who cast the Imperius Curse and the Cruciatus Curse on her. Ada was almost killed by the Unforgivable Curse. In her second year, she met Grover Cecil, who had just been released from prison. Ada was first tricked and then forced to attend a bloody class.

In the third year, the stumbling Quirinus Quirrell appeared. He was nothing special, but he couldn't stand the fact that Voldemort was attached to his head! After comparing them, it was discovered that Gilderoy Lockhart was the most innocent one. After all, he was just a crappy liar. Tell me, who wouldn't be confused if they were faced with these four guys? If Dumbledore and Ada were to swap places, Dumbledore would be confused!
If possible, Ada didn't want to be awarded the title of Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher killer, but who can blame these people for being so troublesome?

Ada is now very conflicted. On the one hand, she wants to find out Lupin's identity, but on the other hand, she hopes that she is just overthinking. Ada suddenly thinks that she should see a psychiatrist. She seems to be suffering from paranoia.

On Thursday, Draco Malfoy finally left the school infirmary and appeared in front of everyone. His right arm was bandaged and slinged. Those who knew him knew that he was scratched by a hippogriff, while those who didn't know him thought he had just returned from the front.

Draco Malfoy's appearance and his pretended bravery are really disgusting. What's even more annoying is that there are Slytherin students who flatter him and really treat Malfoy as a hero.

In addition to Crabbe and Goyle, two followers who only have muscles but no brains, there is also a little girl named Pansy Parkinson, who praises Malfoy to the sky and the earth to the sky, which is so disgusting.

Ada also began to doubt whether there was really a shady deal behind the Sorting Hat's sorting of the houses.

What happened to the Slytherins who were supposed to be ambitious? What happened to the Slytherins who were supposed to be treacherous and cunning? Ada only saw a bunch of vain fools, and she didn't see the shrewdness of Slytherins at all.

Just when Ada was speculating Dumbledore's "ulterior motives" with the greatest malice, the explosive genius Seamus Finnigan rushed into the hall in a hurry.

He said excitedly: "There is news about Sirius Black, there is a witness!"

The students in the hall were all attracted by this news. The sooner the fugitive Black was caught, the sooner the annoying Dementors could leave Hogwarts.

"A Muggle saw him. Of course, the Muggle didn't know what was going on. Muggles thought he was just a common criminal, didn't they? So the Muggle called the hotline. By the time the Ministry got there, he was gone."

Seamus Finnigan said it loudly enough for the whole hall to hear.

"Dufftown!" Hermione said in surprise, putting down the Daily Prophet. "It's not far from the school."

Malfoy and his minions came over at this time, and he leaned over to Harry's ear and whispered, "Do you want to catch Black by yourself, Potter?"

"Yeah, that's right," Harry said without hesitation.

"Of course, if it were me," Malfoy twisted his thin lips into a sly smile, "I would have done something a long time ago. I wouldn't stay in school and be a good kid, I would definitely go out and look for him."

Seeing that Harry didn't seem to understand what he was saying, Malfoy lowered his voice and continued: "Don't you know, Potter? Ah, I know, you don't want to risk your life, do you?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Harry was a little confused. He didn't know what Malfoy was trying to express, and what was the relationship between him and Black?
The future brother-in-law suffered a loss, so the eldest brother-in-law naturally disagreed, and the twins also joined in.

Fred said, "Why don't you go, Malfoy? Oh, sorry, I forgot, just a Dementor scared you to death, let alone the murderous Black!"

George deliberately compressed his voice to make it sound like it was squeezed out of his throat. He said, "I'm going to kill you, you stupid brat!"

"Shut up!" Malfoy's pale face quickly turned red.

On the train that day, Malfoy was frightened by the Dementors and ran into the twins who were driving away the Dementors. So for safety, he shamelessly hid in the twins' carriage and refused to leave.

"You should shut up, Malfoy." Ada threw the fork on the table with a crisp sound.

This time I can't tolerate it anymore. Malfoy is a bit too pretentious. Does he know who is protecting Gryffindor?
