The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 53 The time is just right

As the voice fell, three figures walked out of the woods from afar.

The leader was Dumbledore, who had just returned to Hogwarts from London and had barely sat down in the office when he came over. Dumbledore's face showed no emotion, he just walked over with his wand in hand.

Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape followed Dumbledore on the left and right. It was Professor McGonagall who had just spoken. Her lips were pursed into a line, anger was written all over her face, and the hand holding the wand was so strong that the veins on her hand were bulging.

If Ada hadn't been by Foley's side, Professor McGonagall wouldn't mind teaching this bastard a lesson. Bullying her cubs, does he really think a lion won't get angry?

Snape followed slowly with a deadpan face. He didn't take out his wand, but he looked at Foley with disgust, as if he was looking at a disgusting insect.

"Dumbledore, why are you here? You're back from London!" Foley said, "You're so annoying!"

"My colleague told me that someone had sneaked into the school, so I came back." Dumbledore explained, "I always thought I was quite popular among the students."

"I'm not one of those little brats who play childish games with you. Those little brats are just as annoying as you."

"Benedict, you shouldn't be here now, and you shouldn't treat my students like this." Dumbledore said. He waved his wand at Ada, and Ada, who was sitting on the ground, flew directly over. Professor McGonagall hurried forward to catch Ada.

Professor McGonagall supported Ada with her right hand and let her lean on her. With her free left hand, she checked Ada's body to see if she was injured.

Apart from the Cruciatus Curse, the other injuries Ida suffered were not serious. Her hair was a little singed by the flames, and most of her body was scratched, with some minor scratches on her delicate face.

Seeing that Ada was not seriously injured, Professor McGonagall slapped Ada on the butt twice in annoyance. She already knew why Ada appeared here, so she was very angry at Ada's suicidal behavior.

It turned out that after the twins discovered Ada's whereabouts, they hurriedly ran out of the lounge. They went to the office to seek help from Professor McGonagall and told Professor McGonagall roughly what happened.

Mag, who was also worried about Ada's safety, took the twins directly to the principal's office on the eighth floor, where she had just returned.

The three met Dumbledore and Snape in the headmaster's office. The twins told the headmaster who had just returned about the situation. Then Dumbledore took Professor McGonagall and Snape and hurried to the Forbidden Forest.

This is how the scene just now happened, saving Ada's life from the killing curse.

Ada, who was attacked on the buttocks, did not make a sound. She was a little tired now.

When she faced Welfare alone, Ada was not afraid of anything and tried her best to deal with Welfare. But after McGonagall appeared, Ada no longer had to face the danger alone. She could temporarily rely on Professor McGonagall, a woman who had always treated her well.

As for being spanked, what's the big deal? Who hasn't been spanked by their mother? Although Professor McGonagall and Ada are not mother and daughter, this kind of caring rebuke is still very heartwarming.

Looking at Ada in her arms, Professor McGonagall's anger towards Ada subsided. She hugged Ada tightly in her arms, not wanting her to get hurt again.

Snape was also looking at Ada. Her weakness at the moment was completely different from her usual appearance. Snape's heart, which should have been as hard as iron, even ached a little.

But Snape was more angry. He thought Ada was a little different from other Gryffindors, but Ada's behavior today made Snape feel that she was too much of a Gryffindor.

A lion cub recklessly steps into a hunter's poorly-laid trap. How could this not be stupid?

Dumbledore took two steps forward, blocking Professor McGonagall and Ida behind him, and said, "I have been giving you chances, Benedict."

"Opportunity? Haha..." Fuli laughed loudly, "You have been keeping an eye on me and even asked your lackeys to get information. Is this the opportunity you mentioned?"

Snape, who was called a lackey, didn't even look at Foley. He took out a small glass bottle containing potion from his robe and handed the bottle to Ada.

The color of the liquid in the bottle was terrible and it made people sick just by looking at it. Ada had no intention of taking it and she simply shrank into Professor McGonagall's arms.

Snape was never one to spoil children. He pinched Ada's chin and forced her to open her mouth, then poured the potion directly into Ada's mouth.

After forcing Ada to drink the potion, Snape wiped his hands on her robes in disgust. The moment the potion went down her throat, the effect took effect. Ada felt a warmth rising all over her body, and the pain in her body was relieved.

The products of Snape Potion Factory must be top-quality. It would be nice if the color can be changed next time. The taste also needs to be improved. It doesn't taste good. It really doesn't taste good.

Relying on Professor McGonagall's support, Ada looked at Snape with "contempt", her somewhat embarrassed little face full of disgust and disdain.

Snape didn't care about this at all. He hadn't seen Ada since he took the potion. He had done what he should do, and the rest depended on how Dumbledore would deal with it.

Ada took out a piece of chocolate from her pocket. This snack can not only resist hunger and replenish energy, but also adjust mood. Ada always carries it with her.

It was just because of the battle just now that the chocolate had been deformed. It was first crushed, and then melted by the blazing flames. Soon it would be eaten by Ada, ending its "ill-fated" life.

Handing the chocolate to Professor McGonagall, Ada's original intention was to ask Professor McGonagall if she wanted to eat it, but Professor McGonagall misunderstood her, thinking that Ada did not have the strength to open the wrapper.

So the considerate Professor McGonagall showed Ada how to open the package with one hand, and then fed the chocolate to Ada's mouth.

"I still remember that you were a very obedient and sensible student in school. How did you become like this now?" Dumbledore recalled, "I have been waiting for you to come to me since the beginning of the school year, but you made one mistake after another."

Foley had fallen into madness. He did not care about the regret expressed by Dumbledore. He rolled up his sleeves. On his forearm was an unfinished Dark Mark engraved. The mark was light in color and difficult to distinguish.

"The master taught me the meaning of life. I will follow the master's footsteps and reach the top of the world!" Foley shouted loudly. He looked at Snape and continued, "When the master returns, he will punish those who betrayed him!"

"The Dark Lord may come back, but you will never see that day." Snape spoke the first words of the night.

"Do you think I'm a coward like you and Malfoy? You can only wag your tails and beg for mercy in front of the Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore, begging them to spare your lives. You must live well and wait for the master to come back and settle accounts with you!"

Snape didn't want to deal with the stupid welfare anymore. They would pull your thinking to the same level as theirs, and then defeat you with their rich experience. Snape now just wanted to cast a killing curse to send him to see Merlin and let him go and talk to Merlin.

"Unlike you, I will be rewarded by my master for my loyalty to him. This is my honor and the glory of the entire Foley family!" Foley continued. He thought Snape didn't say anything because he was afraid, but he didn't know that Snape was just too lazy to waste words with him.

"That young boy will never come back!" Dumbledore sighed, and it was unclear whether he was talking about Foley or Voldemort.

Fowley raised his wand and shouted loudly: "Come on! The Dark Lord's loyal servant will fight the great Dumbledore tonight!"

"Let me do it, Albus. He hurt my students." Professor McGonagall said angrily, and she now wished she could turn Foley into a stink bug.

"Let me stretch my legs!" Dumbledore said, "You have more important things to do. I think Miss Drizzt needs a rest now."

No one knew what the ingredients of Snape's potion were. After Ada drank it, she gradually felt sleepy and could hardly open her eyes.

Although Ada is only thirteen years old now, it would be better for Professor McGonagall to send her back personally, and take the Weasley twins outside the Forbidden Forest back with her.

Looking at the sleepy Ada in her arms, Professor McGonagall nodded and agreed with Dumbledore. She used Transfiguration to create a stretcher and made it float in the air, then with the help of Snape, she gently placed Ada on it.

Professor McGonagall pointed her wand at the stretcher, and the stretcher followed Professor McGonagall's steps and left, as if someone was carrying it. Snape also left, and before leaving, he looked at Foley with pity.

"We are the only ones left now," said Dumbledore.

"Avada Kedavra!" Foley didn't say anything, his response was a dazzling green light.

Dumbledore sighed and said, "What an evil spell!"
