The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 593 There is cause and effect
Although Ada was Head Girl for a short time, she was probably the Head Girl who received the most detentions, and at least half of these detentions were from Snape.

Initially, the detention was just a punishment for Ada to handle potion materials, but later it evolved into Ada learning from Snape, and finally it became private teaching time for the Potions Master.

Let's put it this way, if Ada and Snape each make a potion at the same time, and after the potions are completed, they are placed in front of Snape, it will be difficult for him to tell which one is his and which one is Ada's.

Their techniques, control of the heat, and attention to detail were almost identical. As long as Ada didn't get carried away or act recklessly, the potion she made would be indistinguishable from the real thing.

When she heard the Half-Blood Prince's revision of Advanced Potion Making, the hooked nose and greasy long hair immediately came to Ada's mind. Ada was too familiar with these contents, and Snape was the only person she could associate with.

It was just that Ada had never heard Snape mention the spells written in the textbooks, and she was only familiar with the hanging bell. She had never heard of the ear-closing spell or the tongue-locking and throat-sealing curse.

Every time Harry said a spell, a new spell would appear on the system panel, indicating that these spells were real and not just something the Half-Blood Prince wrote for fun. For example, the spell "God of War" was directly classified as a dark magic spell by the system.

Ada recalled Sirius's comment on Snape. He said that when Snape first entered school, he knew more spells than many seventh-year students.

It seems reasonable that Snape, who is so gifted, invented several spells. So is Snape really the "Half-Blood Prince"? Ada was a little unsure for a while, but she felt that it was nine out of ten.

It wasn't just the spells that made Ada unsure; the old textbooks that suddenly appeared in the Potions classroom also made her suspicious.

Assuming that this book, Advanced Potion Making, was the book Snape used when he was a student, it would have existed for at least 17 or 18 years. So many years had passed, and countless students had taken classes in that classroom, so why was it only Harry who found it?
Hasn't any of the other students, including Ada, seen or found this Genius Book of Potions?

You know, Ada was someone who could even turn Snape's private storage room upside down. If the Half-Blood Prince's books had been kept in the classroom cabinet, there was no reason for her not to know about it.

If it was a coincidence, it was too much of a coincidence! Harry was indeed the man who fought Voldemort at the age of one, and he was destined to be like that.

But if it is said that Advanced Potion-Making was specially prepared for Harry, it still does not make sense. If it is a routine, first of all, it should ensure that the book can fall into Harry's hands, rather than being taken by his younger brother Ron.

Besides, what was the point of letting Harry get the book?
After listening to Harry's partial retelling, Ada felt that apart from the footnotes on potions, the spells in the book were not very useful, and had limited impact on improving one's personal strength. Only the spell of Invisibility had some killing power.

If the purpose is to enhance Harry's combat ability, it would be better to let him practice one-on-one with Sirius. What's the point of just knowing how to chant spells!

Ada couldn't figure it out. All her assumptions couldn't convince herself.

"Ada, Ada?"

Ginny called Ada's name softly, waving her white hands in front of her eyes, waking up Master Esmeralda Versailles Drizzt who was lost in thought.

To Ada or Snape, this book "Advanced Potion Making" is nothing, it can be regarded as a random doodle. But to others, this book is a peerless secret book.

"Ada, did you think of anything?" Harry asked, "Did you think of anything from what I repeated?"

This time he reacted quickly, but Ada didn't intend to say anything. It wasn't that Ada was hiding something on purpose, but she had her own considerations in mind.

Let's not talk about why Harry got Advanced Potion-Making and what the purpose was. If the Half-Blood Prince was really Snape, how do you think Harry would react?
In Harry's eyes, Snape is a blacklist of blacklists, and no one can clear his name. Harry is also a stubborn donkey. Once he has made up his mind, no one can change his mind. If Harry finds out that the real identity of the Half-Blood Prince is Snape, then wait and see! At that time, everyone will stand aside, applauding and saying: Wonderful, really wonderful!
Ada came back to her senses and said, "No, not yet. The Half-Blood Prince is a genius. If I knew such a person, I would definitely have an impression of him. Unfortunately, I don't have any impression, Harry."

This was a disappointing result. Harry had thought that the Half-Blood Prince was his father, because James had used the fuchsia on Snape, which was Snape's memory, and Harry had seen it with his own eyes.

But Sirius and Lupin told him that James was a pure-blood and never let anyone call him the Half-Blood Prince.

Now, under Ginny's persuasion, Harry asked Ada about the identity of the Half-Blood Prince again, but the answer was still disappointing. Harry was inevitably a little depressed.

The atmosphere in the bedroom gradually became depressed. Ginny wanted to comfort Harry, but she had to give up because of Ron, who was not very perceptive. The twins also saw Ginny's little thoughts, so they decided to love Ron and lend a hand to Ginny.

"Little brother, we heard that something was wrong with you at school, right?" Fred said with a smirk on his face.

"Don't mind your own business and take care of yourself." Ron blushed and twisted his body uncomfortably.

George pressed the issue and asked again, "If our intelligence is correct, the girl's name should be Lavender Brown. What's going on?"

Ron's face turned even redder, like the bottle of wine he drank at dinner. That was a bottle that Thickness had hidden very carefully, and it was obviously the Minister's favorite, but it still couldn't escape Ada's clutches.

Ada stopped thinking about the Half-Blood Prince. She finally understood why she didn't see Hermione at the Burrow, and she didn't hear Harry and Ron mention Hermione. It turned out that something was wrong with Ron, and Miss Granger was sad.

"Hey, Ron, I wonder what it is about that little girl that you attracted to?" George asked. "Did she get hit on the head by a broomstick?"

“Shut up! It has nothing to do with you!” Facing the oppression of the twins, the brave Luo Luo is not afraid of difficulties!
Fred dodged Ron's chopping punches and said with a smile, "I heard that the girl took the initiative. Didn't she tell you what she liked about you?"

Hearing this, Ron's face was like a cooked crab. He was also puzzled by this question. During the days with Lavender Brown, the two were either kissing or preparing to kiss, and they never said anything private.

After a round of punches, Ron fell back on the bed, panting, his eyes still staring at Fred and George. He said, "Don't push me, the worst that can happen is that the three of us will die together!"

How could Fred and George tolerate that their little brother Ron dared to threaten them? They continued to attack Ron with words to vent their anger for their little sister Ginny.

But the twins didn't expect that Ron was serious and he really intended to die together.

"I heard that the clerk of the paper shop in the village is a beautiful girl..."

As soon as Ron opened his mouth, the twins rushed over to stop him from exposing their secrets. But Ron was determined and ran out, shouting:

"The girl loved George's card tricks and thought they were real magic..."
