The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 294 Unexpected Friday

In the Room of Requirement, Cedric, who fell in love unilaterally, received careful guidance from Ada, and others also gave their opinions one after another.

The atmosphere gradually heated up, and Cedric didn't know what was going on. He agreed to confess to Qiu Zhang the next day. But in fact, Cedric was not prepared to confess at all, and he was afraid that his abruptness would make Qiu Zhang feel uneasy.

The main reason was that the twins and Lee Jordan were so good at stirring up trouble that the atmosphere was created unknowingly, and Cedric fell into their trap.

If Cedric didn't agree to confess the next day, it would be difficult to end the night and it would be difficult for him to return to Hufflepuff in one piece.

The next morning, all members of Dawn were very excited, except Cedric. The new Hufflepuff prefect was very nervous. He kept clenching his fist, releasing it, then clenching it again, and releasing it again...

Ada and the others gathered at the entrance of the auditorium early in the morning, intending to cheer Cedric up. If Cedric succeeded in his confession, he would be the first person to say goodbye to being single at dawn!
Hey, why is the atmosphere a little sad? There are nine people in the whole group, and all of them are single. Dawn is probably the most unsuccessful study group in Hogwarts.

If you set up a study group but there are no campus couples in the group, then there is no point in the existence of this study group.

After a while, Qiu Zhang and her good friend Marietta Aikman appeared outside the auditorium. Whether anyone in Dawn could successfully find their partner in marriage depended on this!

At this critical moment, Cedric became cowardly. He couldn't open his mouth, his legs couldn't move, and he kept backing away.

This was the first time that the members of Dawn had seen him like this. It was all his initiative that enabled him to get acquainted with Cedric and become good friends with him today.

Charlie was still in school at that time, and now Cedric has become the captain of Quidditch. How come people become more and more twisted as they grow older? Qiu Zhang is just a weak little girl. It's nothing to confess her love. Can anyone be scarier than Ada?

Fred and George didn't like this hesitation. They were always in a state of confusion. The two brothers pushed Cedric from behind, and then Mr. Diggory, who was huddled in a ball, was pushed in front of Qiu Zhang.

Cedric looked back at everyone in horror, his eyes full of pleading, the same expression as when little Ronnie saw the spider. But everyone just waved at him, asking him to confess quickly and not delay everyone's breakfast.

"That...that..." Cedric had no choice but to muster up all his courage to face Qiu Zhang. But he hesitated for a long time and couldn't say a complete sentence, as if he had changed his last name to Quirrell from that moment on.

Sure enough, friendship is open and friendship is cautious? But Lee Jordan is not like this to Angelina. Is Lee Jordan settling for second best?

Marietta Edgemore seemed to be accustomed to such scenes. She gave a smile that everyone understood, then walked into the auditorium alone, leaving Cedric and Qiu Zhang some space to be alone.

Qiu Zhang lowered her head shyly, her slender white fingers twisted together, this is going to work! Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing!
There are more and more students at the entrance of the hall, and confessions may not be uncommon, but the confession of Cedric the Campus Prince is still rare. People always praise this boy, saying that he has "everything that people expect from a Hogwarts student."

The twins and Lee Jordan were also watching the situation nervously, and they were all worried about Cedric. If Cedric was already in a relationship, then their right to choose a spouse would be magnified several times.

The girls, led by Ada, were not nervous at all. They saw Qiu Zhang's little movements and knew that this matter was very certain. As long as Cedric dared to open his mouth, it would be a natural thing for him to become the first member of Dawn to walk upright.

But Cedric disappointed everyone. When the time came, he was too scared to speak. In the end, he just said, "Hey! Have you eaten?"

Qiu Zhang's eyes widened instantly. She was ready to accept it, but she got this sentence. Qiu Zhang was very disappointed. She replied in a neither soft nor hard way: "Not yet, because you are blocking my way, Mr. Diggory." The good man Diggory covered his face and retreated, throwing away his armor and fleeing in panic.

There was a lot of thunder but little rain. There was a booing at the entrance of the auditorium, and Cedric ran even faster. But when he ran back to the members, he found that no one paid any attention to him. Everyone's eyes were filled with deep disappointment.

As the leader, Ada patted Cedric on the shoulder and said earnestly: "You deserve it that you can't find a girlfriend, you deserve it!"

The whole confession plan was ruined, and a night's hard work was wasted. No one would forgive Mr. Diggory in the short term.

The same is true for Qiu Zhang. Cedric's negative performance this time successfully lowered his evaluation in Qiu Zhang's heart. He asked for trouble. Cedric's long journey to pursue his wife was infinitely prolonged because of his retreat today.

This confession was originally a ridiculous accident, and ended with an even more ridiculous ending.

Cedric lived in sorrow all day long. Whenever he met members of Dawn in the corridor, they would say to him kindly, "You're blocking my way, Mr. Diggory."

I hope Mr. Diggory, who always stands in other people's way, can learn from his mistakes and stop disappointing others.

Time passed quickly and it was night. Ada walked into the basement classroom with a very heavy heart.

Fortunately, the underground classroom was a little dim, so Ada could not see Snape's face clearly; fortunately, this was the second day after the Boggart incident, and Ada had managed to adjust her mentality.

Otherwise, Ida was really afraid that she would not be able to hold back and say "literary virtue and martial virtue will last for thousands of years". You know what, putting Old Shen's face on Snape doesn't look out of place at all!
"What are you laughing at!" Snape said with a gloomy face, "Do you know how many more wrinkles you have than when you first entered school?" Looking at Ada's smile unconsciously, Snape was furious, damn Remus Lupin!
After all, she was a girl and still cared about her face. Ada subconsciously touched her cheeks with both hands. She said angrily: "Professor, you shouldn't have said such a thing to a lady just now. It's really rude!"

"I would like to ask Miss Drizzt, who gave you the courage to say that you are a lady." Snape's words were slow but extremely lethal, "Also, who gave you the illusion that I was a polite person."

Ada was no match for Snape in verbal battles, after all, the Potions Professor had been immersed in this field for many years. Occasionally, because of Snape's mistakes, Ada would win once, but she would be furious.

Unable to beat them in a fight or to convince them, Ada experienced the powerlessness that others felt when facing her.

Seeing that Ada did not refute, Snape did not kill her. He sat back in his chair and said, "The recipe is on the table, and the ingredients are in the cabinet. This is your task today."

Ada walked to the operating table, where a crucible was placed, and next to the pot was a piece of parchment. Ada reached out and picked up the parchment, carefully reading the formula and potion name on it, and a big question mark appeared in her mind.

As if she was afraid that she had seen it wrong, she asked uncertainly: "Professor, wolfsbane potion?"
