Chapter 161 Rumors Stop with Wise Men

Now that he knew how to deal with the three-headed dog, and had confirmed that the items hidden in the right corridor on the fourth floor were brought back to school by Hagrid, this trip to the cabin was not in vain.

After a period of time, Hagrid's guard against the three of them was gone. They could try to trick Hagrid again and ask him about the value of this item. In this way, things would be basically clear.

Of course, there is another way, which is for three people to go to the corridor on the right side of the fourth floor to directly figure out what is hidden. However, doing so would definitely attract Dumbledore's attention. The three of them were just curious and had no intention of taking the items for themselves, so there was no need to do so.

The school was quiet for the next few days, and nothing special happened except for Professor Flitwick who was banging the table and jumping around again.

Hermione Granger showed her ability as a top student, which reminded Professor Flitwick of Ada two years ago, who was also so smart but was also sorted into Gryffindor. Professor Flitwick began to doubt again There is something shady about the Sorting Hat.

Having missed Ada and Hermione, it’s no wonder that Professor Flitwick slapped the table. Any dean would feel uncomfortable if this happened to him.

Except for Snape, Ada and Hermione were both Muggle-born. There were almost no students of such blood in Slytherin, let alone two in the past three years.

With nothing to do, the three Adas turned their attention to the Marauder's Map. They tried to monitor Quirrell through the Marauder's Map and master his every move.

It's just that there's nothing noteworthy about Quirrell's actions. You can always find Quirrell in the classroom, the office, and the auditorium crowded with names.

Quirrell's normal behavior seems to be refuting Ada's suspicion of him, but just because he is so normal, he seems very deliberate, making people who care about him feel that he is hiding something.

Ada didn't know how the superior Dumbledore observed Quirrell, but Ada believed that all of Quirrell's actions could not escape Dumbledore's eyes, and Dumbledore was waiting for the moment when Quirrell revealed his secrets.

Regardless of whether there was any change in Quirrell, life would still be normal, but Ada's life would be a little bitter.

More and more people know that Ada is the "starting seeker", which also means that Wood's tactics of fishing in troubled waters have been successful. He has successfully diverted the attention of other teams to Ada, and no one will pay attention to the real one. Seeker Harry.

This is a good thing for Gryffindor, but not a good thing for Ada, because there are also many people who want to see her laugh. Everyone is jealous. Ada is the first in grade, has great talent, and is beautiful, so she will naturally suffer more jealousy.

Now it is rumored that Ada wants to play Quidditch, which makes many people's jealousy of her rise to a new level. These people are waiting to see her make a fool of herself.

Of course, these jealous words were said behind Ada's back. If it were in front of Ada, she would probably reply: Are you envious? I grew up without a father or a mother, and lived in an orphanage for twelve years!

They say people's words are scary, but as long as you don't take these "people's words" to heart, then they are not so scary. These gossips naturally reached Ada's ears, but she didn't care what these people thought, so these gossips were not painful to her.

That morning, Ada sat in the auditorium to eat as usual, and the owl army also invaded the auditorium on time. A gray owl accurately airdropped to Ada a copy of "The Quibbler," which Ada used as a joke book. Look, those ridiculous, weird articles above are fun to read.

It was an ordinary morning, but the slender packages carried by six long-eared owls made it extraordinary. The elongated shape looked very much like a broomstick, and the package also belonged to Harry. Apparently the broomstick he ordered arrived today.

The twins went to Harry's place to watch the fun, but Ada didn't go. She drank cereal and flipped through the newly arrived copy of "The Quibbler." Ada felt that this was really nothing to look at. She would definitely not be able to afford the broomstick Harry bought. She was so greedy that she might as well not look at it.

Harry did not open the package, but ran away directly with the package. Ron followed behind him, his eyes were full of the package in Harry's hand, and his eyes almost grew to the top of it.

"Harry has a broomstick." After watching the fun, Fred came back and shared it with Ada.

"The latest model of Nimbus 2000." George added on the broomstick.

Ada closed the copy of "The Quibbler" in her hand and said, "Isn't this exactly what Oliver recommended to him? Harry is not short of money. 2000 for a Nimbus is not trivial. You should have thought of it earlier."

"We think it's better for you to know something..." George hesitated, and he didn't think about how to tell Ada.

"What's wrong? Say what you say and behave like a big girl." Ada smiled and looked at the twins, "Are you afraid that I will be jealous of Harry? When have you ever seen me jealous of others? I have always been jealous. It’s others who are jealous of me.”

As she spoke, Ada scanned the auditorium. There were quite a few people waiting to see her embarrassment.

The long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. Fred said directly: "Harry's broomstick was not bought by himself, but was given by others..."

"It can't be from Dumbledore or Professor McGonagall, right?" Ada still didn't take it seriously and was still telling what she thought was a joke.

"It was given by Professor McGonagall," George said. "Ada, maybe this broom was originally given to you..."

"Very good. Professor McGonagall really hopes that the team will win the championship. You two should work hard this year." Ada said absently, "I'm full and I'm going to the classroom first."

The twins were too familiar with Ada. Her little expression could deceive others, but it was difficult to hide it from Fred and George. The way Ada walked out of the auditorium looked a little embarrassed in the eyes of the twins.

The newly bought "The Quibbler" fell on the long table, and Ada left the auditorium without taking it. She was not in the mood to read a joke book now.

Harry Potter did not open the package, but followed Professor McGrady's instructions and left the auditorium directly, but the news that he had a broomstick still spread because they met Malfoy at the door.

First years are not allowed to have their own broomsticks. There is obviously a special reason why Harry Potter has a broomstick without being punished. This special reason is that Harry Potter became a member of Gryffindor. Only in this way can he reasonably have his own broomstick, and only in this way can he convince the first-year students.

Now that Harry Potter has joined the Quidditch team, it is obvious who he replaces. The one who didn't even have a broomstick in the third year, so you can tell at a glance who is up and who is down. .

Those who were waiting to see Ada's embarrassment did not expect that the joke would come so quickly, only a week had passed. I thought I had to wait until the game started, but it was so fast that it was unbelievable.

Aida is probably the player who has had the starting position for the shortest time. He has never played a game. It really can't be shorter.

School had just started not long ago, and everyone was very busy, so the news about the position dispute between Ada and Harry Potter spread quickly, faster than Nimbus 2000. By the afternoon, everyone knew about it. .

And Ada's behavior has also been paid attention to by interested people. All Ada's current behaviors are being over-interpreted by those people, and she has also received the same treatment as Welfare and Quirrell.

Everything she has said and done can be used as evidence that Ada has lost her starting position.

Ada didn't eat much in the morning, so she was accused of being miserable and pretending to be pitiful in order to gain sympathy; when she borrowed a quill in class, she was accused of crying because she thought the reason she lost to Harry was because the broomstick didn't work; in Transfiguration class She didn't answer the question and was told that Ada thought Professor McGonagall was biased and that she lost because the professor favored Harry Potter.

In short, in just one sentence, Ada broke through her defense, and Harry did such a satisfying thing as soon as he entered school. It was really great. Ada usually looked down on others and ignored everyone, but she really deserved it this time!
