The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 355 Quidditch Final

The next morning, after enjoying Mrs. Weasley's loving breakfast, Ada returned to Hogwarts.

The people in the school still don't know what happened last night, nothing has changed. It's not that nothing has changed, but the students just don't know. All the Dementors in Hogsmeade have been withdrawn, and only a few Aurors are still in the village.

Sirius turned into a big dog and stayed in the boys' dormitory for one night. Everyone thought Harry had a new pet, but they never thought that the dog was a wanted fugitive by the Ministry of Magic, let alone that the fugitive was innocent.

Professor Lupin spent the night of transformation in the familiar yet strange hut, feeling very weak. Fortunately, today is Easter, so Professor Lupin does not need to take sick leave anymore and can take the opportunity to have a good rest.

His good friend Sirius the Black Dog would also accompany him, and they could take a walk by the Black Lake together to reminisce about the past. The Black Lake, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, and the Prisoner of Azkaban, this combination was inexplicably familiar to Ada.

Isn't this Grover Cecil? Fortunately, this time the team is two people. If it was still one person, Ada would probably have the urge to throw the other person into the Black Lake.

After a night of adjustment, Snape returned to normal and was no longer a walking corpse.

But the Potions Master may have recovered too much, and many Gryffindor students fell into Snape's hands, and Gryffindor's house score dropped rapidly. For a while, Filch's office was crowded with Gryffindor students.

Looking at the dwindling number of red gems, Professor McGonagall wanted to reason with Snape, but when she saw a big black dog rushing out of the castle like the wind, she gave up the idea.

Snape was also a pitiful man, although he often behaved very hatefully. This time, not only did he fail to avenge himself, but he almost made a big mistake. It was not easy for him to return to normal in one night.

If there was any change in the castle during the remaining days of the holiday, it was probably that there were several frictions between Gryffindor and Slytherin.

On the first Saturday after the holiday, the winner of the Quidditch Cup will be between Gryffindor and Slytherin. Facing the direct competitor for the victory, everyone is naturally unhappy with each other.

Originally, with Ada in control, Slytherin didn't dare to make any moves, but with their own dean leading the charge, the little snakes were encouraged. Rage rose from their hearts, and evil was born, so a quarrel began between the two houses.

There was harmony on the training ground. Not to mention that the Gryffindor Quidditch team was protected by Ada, just look at the big black dog on the sidelines. The Slytherin players didn't dare to offend and could only look at the Gryffindor players fiercely.

There were no more taboos back in the castle. There were so many students in Gryffindor that Ada couldn't take care of them all, and the verbal friction escalated into physical conflict.

Students from the two houses always traveled in groups wherever they went, fearing that they would be left alone and attacked by the other side. Slytherins were holding back their anger and looking for trouble to fight, and Gryffindors naturally shared the same hatred and wanted to strangle the other side to death.

A brawl between the two colleges seemed imminent, and small-scale fights could occur in the corridors at any time.

In the worst case, a Gryffindor fourth year and a Slytherin sixth year were admitted to the hospital wing with leeks growing out of their ears.

As a key protected person, Harry received the collective care of Gryffindor. Some people volunteered to be Harry's bodyguards, and he was surrounded by people wherever he went. Some people even wanted to test Harry for poison, fearing that Slytherin would poison his food...

This is probably the only treatment a national treasure can get…except for Australia. Friends, do you know about kangaroo meat?
The reason why the conflict was small-scale and controllable was because Ada was not there. Not only was the main force Ada not there, but even the twins could not participate in the conflict.

After Ada returned to school, she did not receive any praise from Professor McGonagall. Even before Ada could understand what was going on, another pile of papers was placed in front of her, with the same old requirement: recite the entire paper with emotion.

I haven’t even finished memorizing the previous ones, and here comes another pile. Oh my god!
Fred and George weren't much better off, as they were both put in detention for hiding some dung eggs.

Ada was reciting the paper on one side, while Fred and George were copying the "Transfiguration Manual" on the other side. The twins spent their birthdays in detention. Professor McGonagall solved the problem at the source and did not let the conflict escalate further. Professor McGonagall did not want Ada and the twins to block the door of the Slytherin common room and kill them one by one.

Besides, given the current "battle situation", Gryffindor has not suffered any loss, so there is no need to use weapons of mass destruction.

Look at Professor McGonagall's overall view. Some people should learn from her. I'm talking to you! Severus Snape!
It was in this tense atmosphere that the Easter holidays ended. On the night before the match, all daily activities in the Gryffindor common room stopped, and everyone was cheering for the Quidditch players.

On the day of the competition, there was not a single breeze blowing through the treetops of the Forbidden Forest, making it perfect weather for the competition.

The Gryffindors were greeted with loud applause as they entered the Great Hall, with Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff tables also applauding them. The Slytherins, on the other hand, were met with deafening boos as they passed through the Great Hall.

Although wild beasts always travel alone and only cattle and sheep travel in herds, Slytherin should really look for the reasons within himself since his popularity is so poor.

Almost everyone from top to bottom is constantly offending others; Snape and Malfoy are just typical representatives.

At nearly eleven o'clock, all the students in the school stood in the stands beside the stadium. Three-quarters of the audience wore bright red roses and waved red flags with the Gryffindor lion painted on them.

Looking at the huge gap in support rates, Snape's face was gloomy. When he saw Lupin and the big black dog beside him, Snape's face became even gloomier, much darker than the bottom of a pot.

Fourteen flying brooms soared into the sky, and the cheers on the court became louder and louder.

Slytherin's games have always been characterized by physical combat and fouls, but when facing Gryffindor, they would be more restrained. For no other reason, the big sister is watching in the stands!
If you lose a game, at most you will feel bad and get scolded. But if you commit too many fouls, the big sister's magic wand will be no joke.

The consequence of this was that the game became one-sided. Gryffindor was the strongest team, and every position in the team was almost as strong as a professional player. If Slytherin didn't commit a foul, there would be no chance of winning.

Slytherin's only hope is Draco Malfoy. As long as the score difference is within 50 points, even if Slytherin loses the game, he can still win the cup with the advantage of goal difference.

Unfortunately, Draco Malfoy was really unable to handle the task. Master Malfoy was no match for Harry Potter at all. He could only follow behind Harry the whole time and suffer the consequences of his Firebolt.

If the Firebolt has exhaust, if not, then... emmmm... figure it out yourself.

When the score difference widened to more than 50 points, Malfoy actually grabbed the end of the Firebolt broom to prevent Harry from getting rid of him and catching the Golden Snitch. The stands erupted in huge boos, even Madam Hooch's screams were drowned out.

But in the end, Gryffindor was more skilled. When the score reached 80 to 20, Gryffindor took a 60-point lead, and Harry also caught the Golden Snitch at this time.

The game is over! After the 91-92 school year (the Quidditch game was cancelled in the second half of the 92-93 school year because of the Chamber of Secrets), Gryffindor lifted the Quidditch Cup again after a year!

A flood of red flooded into the stadium. No one complained about having too many championship trophies! The little lions carried all the players and carried them all the way back to the castle, where a bigger celebration was waiting for everyone!

April 1994 was more than just Harry winning the Quidditch Cup. The next day the headline in the Daily Prophet was: Sirius Black, Evil or Hero?
Double happiness.
