The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 360 The End of the School Year
At Hogwarts, help is always given to those who need it, even to non-human creatures.

Last year, with the help of Harry Potter, Dobby the house-elf was free, and this year, with the help of Rosier and Ada, Buckbeak the hippogriff was also free.

The cause of the incident was that Malfoy ignored the habits of animals, which made the hippogriff feel provoked, so the injury occurred. However, Master Malfoy's injuries were not serious at all, far from as serious as he and his father claimed.

The end of the matter was still a case of wounding, but this time the wounding was a fictitious case of wounding, which never happened. All this was Henry Rozier's idea, and it was Henry who instigated Vincent to take the lead.

Having followed the old fox Thierry Rozier since he was a child, he may not have learned anything else, but he did learn some shrewdness. Henry is also a leader of Rozier's younger generation.

If Ada hadn't appeared, Henry might have inherited his grandfather's legacy in the future and continued to be a minor official in the Ministry of Magic, and perhaps even climbed up further. It all depends on Henry's own thoughts and his own choices.

The return of Ada, who was of mixed-race origin, inevitably brought conflicts with the family. The emergence of this situation pointed Henry to another path, a path that he did not choose - to be the head of the family.

Henry's direct competitor is the young master Vincent, who is good at eating, drinking and having fun. Henry is supported by Vida and Thierry, while Vincent is supported by his father, Alain, the current head of the family.

But as incompetent as Vincent is, Henry is as competitive as he is. Once anything happens to Alan, the current head of the family, Henry will become the new head of the family with the support and manipulation of Vida and Thierry.

Some enviable lives have their future roads paved, but Henry cannot make any choices on this road. Is this sweet sadness?

After dealing with the matter regarding Buckbeak, Henry and his colleagues returned to France, while Ada would stay in Hogwarts for a few more days to spend the most leisurely time of the school year.

There are no exams, no classes, and no intrigues. Just relax and enjoy the sunshine in the Scottish Highlands.

But there will always be shadows under the sun, and the world will never be kind to those who are gentle by nature.

Sirius proved his innocence and regained his freedom, but Remus Lupin was not as lucky as his old friend. From the first day he was bitten by Greyback, misfortune has always been around Professor Lupin and has never gone away.

In the last few days of the school year, a rumor suddenly spread that there was a werewolf in Hogwarts. In the rumor, all the information related to the identity of the werewolf pointed to Professor Lupin, and the only thing missing was to stick a note saying "I am a werewolf" on Professor Lupin's forehead.

At first, the students spread the news privately, and then they turned into contempt, alienation and fear towards Lupin. Whenever Professor Lupin walked in the corridor, he would be stared at by countless students.

These students completely forgot how much they liked the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor a few days ago. They only dared to treat Lupin like this because they knew that Lupin was different from the werewolves outside and Lupin would not hurt them.

The gentle Lupin was hurt more because of his gentleness. Lupin knew that it was time for him to leave again, just like the countless times he left before.

No matter how kind Remus Lupin is in his heart and how gentle he is to others, the fact that he is a werewolf will not change, and the wizarding world's exclusion of werewolves will not stop.

Before the letters of rebuke from parents began to drift into Dumbledore's office, Remus Lupin had left school, having failed to survive the curse of his position as professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts and not even having time to attend the final school year dinner.

Until the end, Lupin didn't want to cause trouble for Dumbledore, just like he had been poor for so many years but never asked Dumbledore for help.

But this time, Remus Lupin probably won't be poor anymore, he can go see the world with Sirius. Fortunately, Harry Potter is not the only one who feels sad for Lupin's departure this time. The students don't know the source of the rumor, but the source can't be hidden from those who are interested. The professors all know that Snape accidentally leaked the rumor.

It was an accident. Ada would never believe that Snape said it accidentally.

Ada already knew about the unpleasant past between Snape and the Marauders. Both sides insulted and hurt each other, and the party with fewer people would naturally suffer more damage. Snape almost lost his life.

It was this experience that allowed Snape to learn about the secret passage under the Whomping Willow and the fact that Lupin was a werewolf.

After so many years, Snape could have told Lupin's secret at any time, but he didn't do it. This school year, although Snape hinted at some things to students when he was substituting for the class, he didn't tell Lupin's secret directly.

Now, after Sirius was released, Snape accidentally told Slytherin the truth and directly revealed Lupin's secret. Why does this "accidentally" sound so much like "intentionally"?

Although the departure of Lupin, an excellent professor, made Ada very sad, she did not rush into Snape's office and ask him for an explanation. Only Remus Lupin had the qualifications to ask for an explanation.

Ida tried to understand the Potions Professor from Snape's perspective. It was probably revenge, and Ida couldn't think of any other reason. Ida was a little disappointed with Snape's behavior this year, and I think Snape was also disappointed with her!
On the last day of the semester, the hall was still decorated in the red and gold of Gryffindor. Gryffindor House won the House Cup championship mainly because of its outstanding performance in the Quidditch Cup.

Professor McGonagall was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. The little lions were also celebrating wildly, clapping their hands on the long table of the college, and it was a perfect school year with a little flaw.

At the end of each school year, a system inventory is an essential step, and Ada opened the system as usual.

Name: Esmeralda Jessica Drizzt
Also known as: Esmeralda Jessica Rosier
Age: 16 years old

Height: 170 feet inches (about cm, Henry should like the host very much, because he can play whack-a-mole)
Weight: 110 pounds (about 49.89 kilograms, weighing less than pounds, either that or short, the host should understand)
Wand: Yew wood, Phoenix tail feather, ten and three-quarters inches (do you understand decisiveness? Do you understand cutting off the roots of the grass?)
Occupation: Hogwarts student (fifth year), Gryffindor prefect, candidate member of the wizarding world (a title limited to Nurmengard), Dumbledore's successor (designated by an old bee)
After reading the basic information, Ada was stunned for a moment by the title of "Dumbledore's Successor" that appeared on the interface this year, and this was Dumbledore's true inner thoughts.

So, grandma, I have made it!
Of course, this was just a joke from Ada. Dumbledore's recognition made Ada very happy, but not to the point of making her nose bubble. Recognition from others is a reward on the journey of life, but it is not a must-have.

The system seemed to be particularly stingy this year. After completing the system task, the reward was an Animagus that Ada was not interested in; after defeating the trial puppet and achieving a three-star rating, the reward was a blood-red gem that allowed Ada to switch from output to nurse.

At the end of each school year, Ada was looking forward to new talents, but this year the system was stingy and only gave her one talent, called "Kanpo". It literally means "see through", which can help Ada better understand the opponent's weaknesses and flaws.

In battle, Ada is more likely to detect the opponent's defensive weaknesses and identify the opponent's offensive intentions, thereby bringing the battle into her own rhythm.

However, seeing through loopholes and seizing them are two different things. The saying that one is willing but unable to do so has been around for a long time.

After shutting down the system, Ada did not join the celebration. She felt a little empty inside. Unlike her classmates who were celebrating, Ada always felt that this year might be the last peace in Hogwarts.

The undercurrent beneath the calm sea has been brewing for long enough and can create huge waves at any time.
