The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 484: Angry Harry

Hermione ran to find Harry and stopped pestering the twins, which made the atmosphere in the common room very good and particularly harmonious.

Angelina, Alia and Katie Bell are adjusting the old robes left by Wood, which Ron needs to wear first for training.

Lee Jordan counted the empty boxes with the letter W printed on them over and over again, ignoring the twins' calls for help.

Ida twisted Fred's ear with her left hand and George's ear with her right hand, spinning them in circles, settling both new and old grudges.

The twins did not dare to resist, because the more they resisted, the more painful it was. This "twisting skill" was a true inheritance from Mrs. Weasley. The two brothers could only slap Ada's arm and beg her for mercy.

Just when Fred and George were at their wits' end, Ronald Weasley showed up like a hero and once again saved the twins from trouble.

Ron frowned, glared, and walked towards Ada and the other two with murderous intent. Behind Ron, Hermione also dragged the reluctant Harry towards them.

As soon as he got closer, he heard Ron shouting at the top of his voice: "Ada, you have to take care of this matter! Look at what that evil woman Umbridge did!"

Ada's heart was beating non-stop tonight. First, she was frightened by Angelina's "Backup Plan", then she was frightened by Hermione's righteousness, and now she was shocked by Ron's murderous shout.

Ada immediately withdrew her hand, and the twins hurried away from Ada, rubbing their ears as they ran.

At this time, Hermione, who was holding Harry, also walked to Ada's side. She raised Harry's hand directly for Ada to see. She saw that the back of Harry's right hand was red, and blood was constantly oozing out.

He took out a handkerchief and gently wiped off the blood, then he could see the scar on the back of Harry's hand. It was a line of words: I can't lie.

Everyone gathered around, Fred and George had angry eyes, Angelina felt guilty because she had scolded Harry harshly that afternoon. The twins winked at Lee Jordan, who immediately ran back to the dormitory.

"Tell me what's going on," Ada said. "Don't hide anything."

Ada pulled Harry to sit down. Before sitting down, she glanced at the common room, and the little lions immediately moved away from where they were.

Lee Jordan came running back now, holding a bowl of Murtella's juice.

The juice of this magical animal can relieve pain and help wounds heal. In order to research a fast-acting sugar antidote, the twins stocked up on a large amount of Mothra Rat Juice.

Soaking his right hand in the bowl, Harry explained the cause of the wound. It turned out that Umbridge's detention was a punishment of writing sentences with a special quill pen, and the ink was blood.

Harry didn't know how many times he had written "I can't lie", probably thousands of times, and now this line of words has been deeply "engraved" in his heart. This is exactly what Umbridge wanted.

"Luckily you didn't go to detention." Fred looked at the smooth back of Ada's hand and said, "What's the origin of this quill pen? Is it black magic?"

"I think so," George said. "Look at the back of Harry's hand. It's been soaked for so long, but the bleeding hasn't stopped completely."

The amount of blood on the back of Harry's hand gave the impression that the wound was very deep, but there is not much flesh on the back of a person's hand. If the wound was really like it appeared, Harry's hand would probably have been broken long ago.

This magic feather pen sounds very much like a torture device, and the magic it uses on people also sounds very much like dark magic.

"This is awful!" said Ron. "We should tell Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore!"

"It's no use, Ron," said George. "Dumbledore has no say over the Ministry of Magic," George said as he pulled Ron back into his armchair.

Fred continued, "Umbridge is Fudge's lackey. She won't listen to Dumbledore. Did you forget that she interrupted Dumbledore's speech at the start of term dinner?"

"But I think Dumbledore must be told about this," said Hermione, "especially since Harry's scar is hurting again! When Umbridge touched him, Harry felt..."

Hermione suddenly stopped talking halfway. She was so anxious that she forgot that Angelina and others were around her.

Angelina and the others did not show any displeasure. The four of them found their own excuses and left. They comforted Harry before leaving, and Angelina apologized to Harry for her bad attitude in the afternoon. After everyone left, Ada asked, "Does your scar hurt again? Does it hurt all the time, or only today?"

"It's been hurting on and off all summer - it just hurt a little more tonight," Harry said irritably. "Nothing - I mean it's nothing serious."

Harry looked like he didn't want to mention his scar, just like a rebellious child.

"Let's write to Sirius!" Ron suggested. "See what he thinks."

"We can't do that. The Ministry of Magic has already extended its hands to the school. Our letters are no longer safe." Hermione said, "It might expose them. Moody also told us to be careful when writing letters."

Harry looked impatient and behaved irritably.

"I can't tell Sirius, it's not safe. No problem!" said Harry, "I don't want to tell Dumbledore and make him care about me because of this ugly scar!"

Harry stood up and wanted to leave. He said, "Is there anything else? If not, I will go back to sleep. I am very tired."

The bowl of Murtella's juice fell to the ground as Harry stood up, and the fragments were scattered all over the ground. Murtella's juice also splashed on the trouser legs of several people.

Fred pulled out his wand and restored the bowl. He said, "Come on, man. Relax a little. You'll find yourself looking really ugly in a few days."

"Uglier than that old toad Umbridge," George added.

Ada didn't say anything. She stared into Harry's eyes silently, as if Snape was possessed. After looking for a long time, Ada didn't find anything unusual. Dumbledore's worry might have come a little too early.

"If you don't want our care, we can just not care about you." Ada said, "The time saved can be used to do something else. Even if I go to feed Garlon, it will wag its tail happily at me."

Ada's words were very unpleasant to the ear, almost the same as cursing.

Don’t try to persuade others to be good without experiencing their suffering. Although Ada didn’t know how much pain Harry was in, it was not a reason for him to get angry at the people around him. That’s why Ada told Harry directly that if Harry continued like this, no one would tolerate him forever.

Hermione and Ron pulled Harry's sleeve at the same time, and Harry finally sat down, but his face was still impatient.

"Umbridge touched my arm in the office, and then my scar started to hurt," Harry said absentmindedly. "I suspect she's been controlled. Just like Quirrell."

Ada thought for a moment and said, "Impossible. When I first met Umbridge, she was so vicious. If you knew what Umbridge had done, you wouldn't say that."

Everyone looked at Ada, waiting for her to continue. Although Harry was refuted, his expression improved a lot.

"Umbridge once drafted an anti-werewolf bill, which made it impossible for Remus to find any job to make a living." Ada continued, "Umbridge is a cold-blooded person. If possible, she would not hesitate to raise a knife to kill werewolves, mermen, centaurs and other creatures. Of course, this also includes those who oppose her."

"Remember what Dad said, Fred?" George asked. "About Umbridge."

Fred said, "Of course, Dad said he was a pureblood. He targeted Dad many times just because he liked Muggles."

"How wicked," Ron muttered. "This old witch is perfect for being a Death Eater."

Ada chuckled and continued, "In fact, Umbridge is a half-blood and has nothing to do with the Selwyn family."

All along, Umbridge disguised herself as a pure-blood and constantly advocated pure-bloodism, which won her support from many pure-blood families, even though these pure-blood families also disliked Umbridge.

This big bite of melon made everyone's belly full, which was really surprising.

"Many things are not as simple as they seem. Think more and don't get angry quickly." Ada said, "Whether it's Dumbledore or Umbridge, it's the same."
