The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 302: Cui, a professional counterfeiter

Friday came in a blink of an eye, and Gryffindor would play against Hufflepuff tomorrow. This temporary change of opponents was so sudden that it completely disrupted Oliver Wood's prior arrangements.

Hufflepuff and Slytherin are two teams with completely different styles, so they need different plans for both offense and defense. Previously, Gryffindor's training was all against Slytherin, and the sudden change of opponents made these targeted training useless.

Not only the Gryffindor players were unhappy about this temporary substitution, but Ada, who had accompanied him to the training ground, was also unhappy.

This year's cold front arrived earlier than in previous years, and the rainstorm hit Hogwarts early. It can be said that this year's Gryffindor training was carried out in the rain. The team members got wet several times, and Ada got wet with them.

Although Ada used magic to isolate herself from the rain and maintain her body temperature so that she would not feel cold, the strong wind and heavy rain outside still made people feel very uncomfortable.

If you can be patient for a while, you will be calm. If you take a step back, you will get angrier. Why should I be exposed to the wind and rain outside while the Slytherins can hide in the warm room and laugh at the Gryffindors for being fools?
On Friday morning, Draco Malfoy's histrionic performance added fuel to the fire.

It was raining heavily that day, and the hall was very dark, just like the dungeon classroom. The Slytherin team members all showed a gloating expression, and Malfoy was the most proud.

"Oh, if only my arm would feel better!" he sighed as the wind blew against the window outside.

Looking at this group of Slytherins who were getting carried away with their pride, Ada often wanted to ask them what nobility was in their eyes.
Anyway, in Ada's cognition, noble people would not do such a despicable thing, let alone fake injuries to escape from the battlefield. Or, in their eyes, only blood is noble, and everything else can be ignored.

Does that mean that if the Malfoy family's blood is injected into a toad, the toad will become noble?
Ada suddenly felt that her dead father was really wise, thanks to him, he made her a half-blood wizard. If she were also a pure-blood, standing in the same circle with such a group of people, Ada would want to dig a hole to bury herself!
I can't afford to lose this person!

It was almost time for class, and the students left the auditorium one after another. Ada also stood up and mixed in with the students. Of course, she had to go to class, but that was just a side job. Ada's main purpose was to fight against fraud.

Ada is the head of Gryffindor and a student representative. She has to set an example and take the lead, so she can't beat people up at will, but this doesn't stop her from fighting against cheating.

When Ada was investigating the fake Lockhart last year, she didn't do anything from beginning to end.

The twins naturally followed Ada to protect her. Ada didn't even need to say anything, as she rolled her eyes and the twins knew what bad things she was up to.

At this moment, the complacent Malfoy didn't realize anything. He didn't know that the big devil had already extended his claws to him.

The student team was walking out of the auditorium, and suddenly a cry of "Ouch" was heard from the crowd. Then everyone saw Ada rubbing her shoulder with an "innocent" look on her face, as if she had been hit by someone.

The person who bumped into Ada also had an innocent look on his face. Draco Malfoy was not only innocent, but also confused. He was walking when someone stopped him and didn't let him go. Did people really think that Master Malfoy was easy to bully?
But before Malfoy could show his young master's temper, he saw that the people who stopped him were the Weasley twins. Needless to say, where the twins were, Drizzt was basically there, and Malfoy turned around and saw Ada rubbing her shoulders.

what's the situation?
Malfoy really didn't understand, he really couldn't figure out why the twins stopped him. Master Malfoy was still young, he hadn't seen the dangers of society, and he didn't know what a scam was.

Malfoy wanted to leave, but Fred and George wouldn't let him go. Crabbe and Goyle, two loyal followers, wanted to step forward to protect Malfoy, but were blocked by Ada.

"You bumped into someone and left without apologizing?" Fred asked with a frown, "Didn't your family teach you basic etiquette?"

Malfoy almost laughed at Fred's anger. When did he bump into anyone? He said, "Get out of the way, Weasley. I didn't bump into anyone. I have to go to class now."

"Everyone come and see, Malfoy hit someone and he won't admit it." George shouted, "He is worthy of being the young master of a wealthy family, he is so arrogant, he hit someone and it's nothing."

George spoke very loudly; he just wanted to make a big fuss so that the students at the door could hear it.

The students who were originally planning to go to class slowed down their pace. There was still some time before class, which was enough time to watch the excitement.

"I say again, I didn't bump into Drizzt." Malfoy said, "Don't put the blame on me for everything!"

Did Malfoy bump into Ada? Of course not, the two just brushed past each other, and Malfoy didn't even touch the corner of Ada's robe. Although no one saw what happened specifically, everyone chose to believe Ada and the twins.

Again, compared to Ada and the twins, Malfoy's reputation is not a little bit worse. This is not only the opinion of Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw, but also the opinion of Slytherin. If they can choose, Slytherin would rather trade Malfoy for Ada.

In this way, with Ada's protective personality, Slytherin will take off! If the Malfoy family was not really rich, do you think Draco Malfoy would still get the support of Slytherin?

But Slytherin overlooked one point. Ada did protect her own people, but she didn't protect them unconditionally. Moreover, even if Ada wanted to protect someone like Malfoy, she couldn't.

If beating up Draco Malfoy could be done without any responsibility, then the queue would stretch from the hall to the school gate. Moreover, there would be no shortage of Slytherin students in the queue, as Malfoy's bad deeds had brought discredit to Slytherin.

"Forget it, Fred, George." Ada was still rubbing her shoulders. "I'd better apologize to Master Malfoy. What if he tells Mr. Malfoy?"

The students were stunned by Ada's remarks. Ada, who had always been fearless and even dared to confront Snape, was now giving in?

It is impossible for me to admit defeat. Everything I have done has been exposed. Acting pitiful and weak is no longer an option. I can only rely on being sarcastic to get by.

"If Mr. Malfoy gets angry, he will report the matter to the Ministry of Magic, and the officials of the Ministry of Magic will behead me in public, just like Buckbeak the Hippogriff." Ada continued, "Mr. Malfoy will not care who is right or wrong, after all, his mind cannot hold so much content."

Speaking of sarcasm, Ada only admired two people in her life. One was the Potions Professor Snape, and the other was her grandmother Vida Rosier. The rest were not worth mentioning.

There were whispers among the crowd. Even though so much time had passed, everyone still despised Malfoy's behavior when the Hippogriff was mentioned.

It was obviously Malfoy himself who did not pay attention in class, but he pretended to be serious, which resulted in him getting injured. In the end, all the blame was placed on Hagrid and Buckbeak.

Both parties were responsible for this teaching accident, but Malfoy pushed all the faults onto Hagrid. This is what makes everyone look down on him. He has no sense of responsibility and even uses his power to bully others.

The social structure of the wizarding world is similar to that of the Muggle world, both are pyramid-shaped. Only a few people can stand at the top, and most of them are powerless people like Hagrid. They can empathize with Hagrid's experience.

This wave of actions made Malfoy make many enemies in the school, but no one could do anything to him, so no one took any radical actions. Malfoy was used to being a tyrant and was not aware of these invisible changes.

Today, Ada once again raised this question and even "took a risk herself", which can be said to have provided everyone with a big stage in Zaun.

Soon, the shouts of the crowd were heard near the entrance of the auditorium, and Malfoy instantly became a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouted at him to be beaten.

Malfoy's face was red and white, looking very ugly. Pansy Parkinson wanted to help, but she was drowned out by the scolding as soon as she opened her mouth.

Adding fuel to the fire, Ada was also good at that. She added: "It's actually no big deal. We are used to fighting and wrestling. But Master Malfoy can't do that. He is a delicate and precious person who can't be touched."

A delicate girl said that she was used to fighting and falling, so her skin was thick and tough; while a boy was said to be proud and delicate, and could not be hit or scolded.

This was an ugly remark, just short of throwing a dress in Malfoy's face.

Humans often do things without considering the consequences when they are impulsive. This is what happened to Draco Malfoy at this moment. It was as if a string in his mind had broken.

When humans are impulsive, they often forget a lot of things to pay attention to and use subconscious actions or words to express their emotions. This is the case with Draco Malfoy at this moment. He has forgotten that he should continue to fake an injury.

Draco Malfoy, who was furious, wanted to teach Ada a lesson. He walked up angrily and pushed Ada hard!
However, Ada, who was pushed, did not move at all, and even brushed off her clothes with great disgust, while Malfoy, who took the initiative to push others, fell to the ground.

Ada showed a smug smile on her face. She looked at Malfoy's bandaged arm and said, "Isn't your arm injured? Where is the injury? When you pushed me, you couldn't see that you were injured at all!"

Chang Wei, you said you don’t know martial arts!
