The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 52 Crisis
Ada asked questions to distract Foley's attention, while she cast spells without hesitation, including stunning spells, crushing spells, imprisonment spells, and many other spells.

She chose different angles to fire these spells, and the order in which the spells were fired caused a lot of trouble for Foley.

There were some spells that Foley could block directly, but there were some that Foley could only dodge through body movements due to the tricky angles. He rolled on the ground to dodge the last spell.

The magic machine gun was what Ida had always been pursuing. If it could kill the enemy with one shot, that would be the best. If not, then just cover the enemy with firepower. When a bunch of spells were thrown at him, there would always be one spell that hit the enemy. What he wanted was firepower suppression.

Foley looked a little disheveled now, with fallen leaves all over his robe and some scratches on his face. He didn't look like the elegant professor he used to be.

However, the noble and elegant Welfare has disappeared for a long time. Ever since the power of the curse appeared, Welfare has been miserable and sickly, with no trace of the beginning of the school year.

After brushing off the fallen leaves on his body, Fuli waved his wand and a flame appeared again.

The fire surrounded Ada, and the scorching flames kept attacking her. Ada could only wave her wand repeatedly, using magic power to suppress the flames and prevent them from burning her.

"I was just planning to cause some trouble for Dumbledore and his lackey Snape, but they actually dared to stop me. How could I let them watch me leave with a smile?" Foley said, "They kept staring at me, and were still wary of me even after I left, so I decided to teach them a lesson."

Fuli looked at Ada who was still resisting stubbornly in front of him, and smiled unconsciously. It's over, it will be over soon.

Isn't this a disregard for human life? Isn't your decision too hasty? You just think I'm easy to bully, right? Ada immediately asked three questions in her mind.

"So you chose me? Because I just discovered your secret and was investigating you." Ada mobilized the magic power in her body. Everything was not over yet. "Even if you kill me, it won't benefit you. You will still not be found."

The flames were still burning under Fuli's stimulation, but there was no tendency to expand again. Ada's suppression still worked.

Foley looked at Ada who was trying to survive in the fire and said, "You are not begging for mercy, are you? You are Snape's favorite disciple. You look so weak just like him!"

"A student who likes night walks broke into the forbidden forest at night, mistakenly entered a spider's nest, and was eaten clean by the spiders lurking there. What does this have to do with poor Welfare who has already left school?" Welfare continued.

"Don't forget, there was a note, and someone knew that I left the common room." Ada felt wronged. Was she taking the blame for Snape?

"There was never any note," said Foley. "It was just a Confounding Charm. I made you think that Snape asked you to go to the dungeons at eight o'clock."

The raging flame was extinguished by Welfare. There was no need to keep this meaningless flame. Anyway, it had accomplished what it was supposed to do and consumed Aida very well.

Fuli approached Ada, but did not go in front of her again. He was still frightened by the lesson he had just experienced.

Foley continued, "So what if they suspect me? No one will care about the life or death of a lowly mudblood, and no one will investigate it to the end. This is your fate, and you can't blame others."

"It is over, Drizzt. Prepare to say goodnight to this weary world." Foley raised his wand. "Avada Kedavra!"

"Expelliarmus!" At the same time as Foley shouted the spell, Ada also said a spell.

The two spells collided, and a beam of light connected the two spells. The connection made a "crackling" sound, and it also blew the broken wood and stones on the ground around it into pieces.

The first Hogwarts welding competition officially begins!
Ada stood on the right, holding the magic wand tightly in both hands, and poured all her magic power into the connected beam. Fuli was also maintaining his magic output.

The two people and their spells were in a stalemate. Even though Ada was trying her best, it was not something that Fuli could easily defeat in a short time.

This was obviously not what Fuli wanted. He became more and more frightened of Ada. He could not keep such a person any longer, which made him more determined to kill Ada.

Foley suddenly withdrew his magic power, the green light of the killing spell disappeared, and the disarming spell came straight at Foley with a bright red light.

But Foley did not panic, instead he cast a Cruciatus Curse the moment he withdrew his magic power, and he himself began to dodge the attack of the Disarming Curse. The Cruciatus Curse attacked Ada, but Ada was completely unprepared. Foley's operation just now really dodged Ada, and she was hit by the Cruciatus Curse before she could react or even move.

The intense pain took over everything, and this intense pain made Ada forget where she was. Ada felt as if countless knives were cutting every inch of her skin, and every bone seemed to be eaten by thousands of insects.

Ada bit her lips tightly to prevent herself from screaming, and blood flowed from the corners of her mouth. No matter how painful it was, even if it meant death, she could not let the enemy take pleasure in her shrill screams.

The Cruciatus Curse, one of the Unforgivable Curses, is a vicious curse designed to torture people. In addition to physical pain, it can also bring psychological torture to people. It can drive people crazy and can also torture people to death.

Fortunately, the spell did not last long, and the piercing pain slowly disappeared, but this pain was deeply rooted in Ada's memory.

She sat up slowly, leaning against a fallen tree, breathing heavily, and the hand holding the wand was shaking because of the pain.

On the other side, Foley did not completely avoid the disarming spell, and the spell hit Foley's left arm. The disarming spell with a dazzling red light produced a great knockback effect, and Foley was knocked away by the spell and fell heavily to the ground.

"Mudblood, mudblood!" Foley muttered angrily as he fell to the ground.

If the reason for killing Aida in the beginning was a bit hasty, then during the battle he was determined to kill, and now he thinks how wise his original decision was, and such a person should not be kept alive.

Ada looked at Fuli who was walking towards her. She wanted to raise her hand, but the aftereffects of the pain had not completely disappeared, and she could not accurately control her right hand.

Foley waved his wand, and the wand in Ada's hand rolled out.

Memories of past and present lives flashed through my mind like a kaleidoscope. I had experienced this feeling once in my previous life.

Are you afraid of death? I am afraid but not afraid. I am afraid because I have died once, and the feeling of loss is hard to let go. I am not afraid because I have died once, and death is just another fantasy of life.

It is true that I am unwilling to give up. I have a healthy body and three or five good friends when I live again. It is precisely because these things are hard to give up that life is precious.

Fuli had walked to within three or five steps of Ada, looking down at her.

He said: "You lowly mudbloods always like to engage in this kind of meaningless resistance. You will die in my hands anyway, so why resist? It would be better to just accept your fate."

"You'd better act quickly. Villains always die because they talk too much." Ada said with a forced smile. Ada now had to use all her strength to say every word.

"No one will disturb me. I am confident of this. Dumbledore is not in school, so no one can break the Exorcism and Protection Spells I cast." Foley said with a grim face, "Esmeralda Drizzt, go to hell!"

"Avada..."

The green light did not come on, Ada's life did not disappear, and Foley's killing curse was interrupted.

"Who? Who is there?" Foley looked around in panic. Someone had broken in, but he was completely unaware.

Ada laughed out loud, looking even more like a villain than Foley did at the moment.

"Shut up!" Foley angrily cast the Cruciatus Curse at Ada again, but the spell was still blocked and failed to cause any harm to Ada.

"I've already told you that villains die because they talk too much, but you still don't believe it." Ida said, "Guess who stopped you? One gold Galleon, I guess it was Professor McGonagall."

A stern female voice sounded in the forbidden forest. She said, "Betting is not a good habit, Ada."
