The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 303 Life Mentor Drizzt

From the first week of school until now in November, Malfoy's arm has been bandaged. Slytherin's excuse for delaying the game was that Malfoy's injury had not healed.

But two months have passed, and this is the wizarding world, so Malfoy's injuries should have healed long ago. Moreover, Madam Pomfrey also said that Malfoy's injuries were very minor.

Ada was puzzled. The minor injury had not healed for two months. Did the Malfoy family have no money to pay for the medicine? The scheming frog kept touching your belly. Draco Malfoy faked an injury!

In this way, Malfoy could order Harry and Ron around in Potions class for no reason, and he could also put pressure on the Ministry of Magic, making the Ministry, which was already biased towards him, completely side with him.

Look at me, I'm badly injured and it hasn't healed in more than two months. If you don't kill that beast, Hippogriff, are you worthy of the money donated by my Malfoy family?

Of course, Master Malfoy might not have that brain, and Ada was just judging him by her own standards. But Ada felt that Lucius Malfoy should have that brain, and if he didn't, Ada would definitely write to her grandmother immediately.

There were only six words on the letter: Stupid man, lots of money, come quickly.

If this doesn't cost the Malfoy family a huge sum of money, it would be an insult to the relationship between the pure-blood families over the years.

Malfoy fell to the ground, his mind went blank. Ada's words made him realize how impulsive and stupid he had just been.

He remembered what Mr. Malfoy had taught him last year: it would be unwise not to pretend to like Harry Potter when most people saw him as a hero who had driven away the Dark Lord.

He recalled what Mr. Malfoy had taught him this year: Don't mess with that half-blood from the Rosier family. The reason why he was valued by those two old men was definitely not because of his pretty face.

However, before Draco Malfoy could understand his father's teachings, the overwhelming scolding brought Malfoy back to reality.

Slytherin is the least popular house in the school, and Malfoy is the best among Slytherins. If there is such a thing as the most annoying person ranking, Malfoy will definitely be at the top.

There was no need for Ada to remind everyone, as everyone had seen clearly how Malfoy pushed people just now, and everyone also knew what happened to his injured arm.

Malfoy faked an injury and Slytherin adjusted the game time, which troubled more than just Gryffindor. All the colleges had to adjust their game plans accordingly. Only the Slytherin team, which knew about the schedule changes in advance, did not have to do anything.

By waiting for the right opportunity and planning without any effort, Slytherin's chances of winning will be greatly increased, and their possibility of winning the Quidditch Cup will also increase accordingly.

When Malfoy was injured at first, apart from Gryffindor who cursed a few times, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw were all indifferent and looked at him as if it had nothing to do with him. The condemnation of Malfoy just now was only because of empathy and to help the disadvantaged groups speak out, and they may forget it after today.

But now, Malfoy's feigned injury has affected their respective vital interests. Slytherin's tricks have touched the interests of three colleges at once, which is bound to arouse public anger.

There's no way around it. Quidditch is the most popular sport in the wizarding world. It's just so attractive.

The law does not punish the masses, and if you miss this opportunity, you may never get it again. The group that denounced Malfoy's despicable behavior suddenly became much larger. Those who had grudges took revenge, those who had grievances complained, and those who had no grudges made up stories. The public resentment in the hall was boiling.

Even if Malfoy wanted to refute, he couldn't say anything. Besides, he himself knew best what the injury on his arm was like.

Draco Malfoy might not be as bad as Ada imagined, but he was indeed the beneficiary of his own actions, and it was not unfair for him to be scolded.

Fortunately, the students at the scene were restrained enough and did not attack Malfoy, otherwise Malfoy would be in great pain. However, if that were the case, Ada would have to step in to stop it, as chaos is the most dangerous.

On this side, Malfoy, Pansy Parkinson, Crabbe, and Goyle were drowned in the vast ocean of people, while on the other side, the Slytherin students were particularly quiet, and they were indifferent to Malfoy's experience.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Even Ada can't get everything under Gryffindor's thumb and make decisions on her own, let alone Draco Malfoy who is always bossy.

There are many people in Slytherin who look down on Malfoy.

Cody Avery looked down on Malfoy. The thing Avery despised most about Malfoy was his stubbornness. There was no benefit in provoking Harry Potter, but he just enjoyed doing it. No one knew what he was trying to do.

Blaise Zabini also looked down on Malfoy. Zabini and Malfoy were familiar with each other and they were of the same level, but Zabini had never been a subordinate of Master Malfoy. He not only looked down on Draco Malfoy, but also looked down on Lucius Malfoy.

Marcus Flint had always been protecting Malfoy, but the Slytherin Quidditch captain was not here today. Flint had been avoiding Ada for the past two days, fearing that Ada would cause trouble for him because of the schedule adjustment. When he saw Ada walking into the hall with an unhappy face early this morning, Flint ran away.

Parkinson and others who wanted to stand up for Malfoy didn't have the ability to do so and could only be scolded along with him; those who could stand up for Malfoy didn't want to get involved in this trivial matter. They didn't want to intensify the conflict and turn the spitting incident into a melee among the four colleges.

As for Draco Malfoy, let him take the responsibility. As long as the benefits are great enough, no one is unwilling to give up. Besides, Draco Malfoy has never been that important.

Malfoy, isolated and helpless, could only sit on the ground, feeling wronged like a child. Yes, he was a child.

Fortunately, the class time was about to begin, and some people who were tired of scolding chose to go to class; fortunately, Ada had no intention of killing Malfoy, and seeing that the time was almost right, Ada was ready to stop.

Slytherin also felt that it was about time. Today, Malfoy was a discarded pawn, but this chess piece would still be useful in the future and could not be completely discarded.

The prefects, who were also worried about the situation getting out of hand, stepped forward first and began to persuade the students to leave and stop. Cody Avery and Blaise Zabini also came over, constantly saying nice things, hoping that today's incident would end here.

With the joint efforts of the prefect and two Slytherin students, the remaining students gradually dispersed, and the curses lingering in Malfoy's ears finally disappeared.

But Malfoy didn't get up, just sat there blankly, as if he had been scolded stupidly. Pansy Parkinson looked at Ada with tears in her eyes and resentment. She attributed all the reasons why her beloved Draco became like this to Ada.

"Just look at your Draco, Pansy, and don't look around." Blaise Zabini advised gently.

"Watch your eyes, Parkinson!" Cody Avery didn't care and spoke in a very impolite tone. After scolding Pansy Parkinson, Avery said to Ada: "What happened today?"

Avery knew that Ada's attitude was the key. If she didn't intend to let it go, scenes like today would happen again. He found that the girl who beat him up in the first grade had grown up to this point without realizing it. She was no longer the impulsive little girl who only knew how to throw punches.

"That's it," Ada said. She had no intention of beating Malfoy to death. If Malfoy hadn't been jumping around in front of Gryffindor, Ada wouldn't have wanted to pay any attention to him.

Avery breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to clean up Malfoy's mess every day. He said, "Thank you."

"No need." Ida waved her hand to indicate that the other party didn't need to care. "Tell Flint for me that I really want to chat with him."

Then Ada walked to Malfoy, she bent down and squatted, keeping her eyes level with Malfoy who was sitting on the ground. Ada asked: "Draco Malfoy, do you know why you have fallen to this point today?"

The clear female voice sounded like the whisper of a devil to Malfoy, and Ada's eyes made Malfoy feel uncomfortable, and he didn't dare to contact her at all. Malfoy lowered his head even more, avoiding Ada's gaze.

"Don't go too far, Drizzt!" Pansy cried. The little girl who looked like a poodle hugged Malfoy tightly, staring at Ada with a fierce look, ready to fight her to the death.

Ida ignored the girl's chatter and said to herself, "I vaguely remember that I talked to you about this problem before, but you didn't seem to understand it at all. Let's talk about it in another way!"

At this moment, Drizzt, the life mentor, came online, and Draco Malfoy finally raised his head. However, Malfoy's eyes were a little distracted. Today, he was being criticized by thousands of people, and the stimulation was too great.

"Apart from the so-called half Rosier, I am still myself. Rosier has not brought me any glory." Ada said word by word, "But what about you? Aside from the surname Malfoy, what do you have left? Can you still act willfully in school? Do you have anything that people can praise?"

As soon as these four questions were asked, Malfoy lowered his head again.

"If you don't answer, then I'll tell you." Ada continued, "No, you are nothing without Malfoy. Your two stupid followers will no longer follow your lead, Flint will no longer clean up your mess, and even your girlfriend will abandon you."

Pansy Parkinson seemed very unconvinced, and she wanted to refute Ada's point of view and prove that her love for Draco could not be measured by money, but Ada did not give her this opportunity.

"I don't mean to discredit your relationship, but ask yourself, if his last name was not Malfoy, would you still be so... um... reckless?" Ada turned to Pansy and asked.

Ada stood up and muttered, as if intentionally or unintentionally, "Bullshit love!"
