The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 331: Aftermath of Celebration

The pets at Hogwarts may have been having bad luck recently. Just as Ada discovered Garlon's betrayal, Ron's pet mouse was found dead right after that. The murderer was Hermione's pet cat Crookshanks.

The entire common room was silent, with only Ron's roar and Hermione's defense.

Everyone was puzzled as to why Ron was so angry about the death of a mouse. It was just a mouse. Many people would not choose a mouse as a pet, just like they would not choose a toad.

Ron was very dissatisfied with Hermione, thinking that she did not think highly of Crookshanks and was still making excuses for Crookshanks. Hermione was equally dissatisfied, and she emotionally insisted that Ron had no evidence to prove that Crookshanks had eaten Scabbers.

The quarrel between the two gradually shifted from Scabbers to Crookshanks. Hermione believed that Ron was prejudiced against Crookshanks because Crookshanks hit him on the head in the pet shop.

Hermione's voice gradually began to sob, and when Harry also thought that all the evidence pointed to Crookshanks, Hermione collapsed all of a sudden. She shrieked at Harry, then ran back to the girls' dormitory in a huff, secretly wiping away tears as she ran.

Ron still couldn't accept the death of his mouse and was almost ready to hold a memorial service for Scabbers.

The twins' comfort not only failed to make Ron feel relieved, but made him miss Scabbers' goodness even more. For example, Scabbers once bit Goyle for Ron, leaving a scar on Goyle.

For example...well, that's it. This mouse, which does nothing but eat and sleep, really has nothing to boast about.

Ada and Ginny ran after him to comfort Hermione. The strong image of the past was gone, and the little girl cried like a tearful person. Although Hermione repeatedly insisted that Crookshanks did not kill Scabbers, she still felt a little guilty about Scabbers' death.

It looked like Ron and Hermione's friendship was over.

The two of them hated each other so much that unless Scabbers came back to life or there was irrefutable evidence to prove that Crookshanks was not the real murderer who killed the rats, there was no way the two of them would reconcile.

For a mouse, he made his future wife angry and broke down crying. I really don't know what Ron was thinking at this moment.

The next morning, when Ada was having breakfast with the twins, she saw the Gryffindor students exaggeratedly forming a guard of honor to welcome the Firebolt, and there was an excited chatter in the hall.

Even Gryffindor's opponent today, Ravenclaw, was amazed by the Firebolt. Thanks to Percy's relationship, Penelope Clearwater of Ravenclaw was able to pick up the Firebolt and take a good look at it.

Percy also showed everyone his poor emotional intelligence. He actually made a bet with his girlfriend Penelope about which team would win the game.

Even when Penelope picked up the Firebolt, Percy kept a close eye on her to prevent his girlfriend from causing trouble.

Perhaps among the Weasley family, Percy and Ron have the worst emotional intelligence. Both of them share their emotional intelligence with their brothers and sisters. What selfless people they are!
The weather is clear and breezy, a rare good day.

All the students in the school rushed into the stadium. Ada, Hermione and Ginny stood together. Ron stayed away from the three of them, and his occasional glances were full of resentment towards Hermione.

Oliver Wood and Roger Davis shook hands, and Madam Hooch blew the whistle to start the game.

Fifteen flying brooms took off into the sky, and the voice of the commentator Lee Jordan echoed in the stands. However, Lee Jordan's commentary this time was different from the past. He neither favored Gryffindor nor praised Angelina. Instead, he kept advertising the Firebolt, as if he had been paid for it.

It was impossible to accept money. Just like Muggles like luxury cars, Lee Jordan's love for the Firebolt came from the heart.

Gryffindor hadn't played such a rich game for a long time. The twins' brooms were Nimbus 2001, which allowed the two brothers to control the Bludgers more easily and overwhelmed Ravenclaw's offense.

As a seeker, Harry's broomstick, the Firebolt, was more advanced than the Nimbus 2001, while Ravenclaw's seeker, Cho Chang, only had a Comet 260. The Firebolt versus the Comet 260 meant that Cho Chang couldn't even touch the corner of Harry's clothes.

The cheers from Gryffindor in the stands were getting louder and louder, and soon they overshadowed the cheers from Ravenclaw. If Ada had looked closely at the Ravenclaw cheering team, she would have seen a familiar figure, Cedric Diggory.

The score soon reached 110 to 30, with Gryffindor leading by points.

At this moment, Harry suddenly accelerated his dive, and Qiu Zhang, who was following him, thought he saw the Golden Snitch and also accelerated his dive. However, Harry suddenly braked with his own ability and the excellent performance of the Firebolt and stopped the dive, but Qiu Zhang couldn't stop and kept falling.

The people in the stands exclaimed in amazement, both because of Harry's superb skills and because of his worry about Qiu Zhang who kept falling. Cedric was so anxious that his eyes were about to burst into flames, and he wished he could rush to the field to catch Qiu Zhang who was falling.

Harry and Ron are good friends, which shows that Harry's emotional intelligence is sometimes worrying. Harry has no thoughts of sympathizing with women, and after he left Cho Zhang behind, he shot up like a bullet.

This time it was not to shake off the opponent like before, but Harry really saw the Golden Snitch, and he also grabbed the struggling Snitch tightly!
The whistle blew and Gryffindor won the game.

The point lost from Cedric of Hufflepuff was made up by Qiu Zhang of Ravenclaw. I don't know if this will add more trouble to Cedric's long journey to find his wife.

May Merlin bless Cedric Diggory. What, Merlin was bewitched and imprisoned by Vivian the Fairy of the Lake! Well, forget it...

A big celebration! Gryffindor hadn't been so happy for a long time since losing the game to Hufflepuff!
How could the celebration on the field satisfy Gryffindor! A grand party was held in the common room. People who didn't know would think that Gryffindor had won the Quidditch Cup!

The party lasted all day and into the night, with Fred and George ransacking the Hogwarts kitchens, and there were even loads of Butterbeer and bags of Honeydukes sweets.

Hermione was the only one who didn't join the celebration. Ada and Harry were just about to comfort Hermione and ask her to celebrate together, but Ron in the crowd said sarcastically, "If Scabbers hadn't been eaten, he could have eaten a few of these fudge flies. He used to like them very much..."

Ada was so disappointed with Ron that she wanted to strangle him to death and make him shut up, just like an old mother.

Professor McGonagall also joined in the celebration at the end. Wearing a plaid dressing gown and a hairnet, she was forced by the twins to dance a tango with them.

Ada clapped her hands and laughed, a familiar melody echoing in her mind: Tango is to lie down and walk, three steps and then jump, two steps and then turn your head, five steps and then bend your waist, six steps and then wave your hand, and then you lie down and walk again...

No, now that she is an older cat girl, Professor McGonagall has also been given the title of British Teacher Zhao. Ada can no longer look directly at the usually serious Professor McGonagall.

At one in the morning, Professor McGonagall seemed to finally realize that her dignity was no longer secure, so she drove everyone back to bed with a fierce face. Although everyone dispersed obediently, they were not afraid of Professor McGonagall at all, but smiled and said good night to her.

In the girls' dormitory, although Ada was very tired, she did not go to bed. She called Hermione and wanted to talk to the little girl about Crookshanks.

"What's wrong, Ada?" Exhausted Hermione rubbed her eyes. Her eyes were a little red and swollen, partly because she was too tired, and partly because she cried again without knowing when.

Ada told about Crookshanks's "collusion with the enemy". Hermione was Crookshanks's master, and Ada thought it would be better to hear Hermione's views and opinions on this matter.

But before Hermione could make an analysis, their conversation was interrupted by a loud noise, followed by a chaotic sound coming from the direction of the boys' dormitory.
