Chapter 203 Screaming in the Girls’ Dormitory
There was neither the joy of defeating Quirrell to protect the Philosopher's Stone, nor the disappointment of being deliberately ignored. Ada seemed very calm in the face of everything that happened in front of her, as if she had just done a trivial thing.
Defeating a professor head-on is enough to brag about for a lifetime to other students, but in Ada's opinion, defeating Quirrell is not something worth bragging about. Regardless of Quirrell's useless performance, just judging from Quirrell's performance today, this is not the level he should be. He was held back by the possessed Voldemort.
Voldemort possessed Quirrell and shared the same body. This "coexistence" relationship more or less affected Quirrell's spellcasting, preventing him from displaying his true strength. And Ada had just returned from "advanced studies". Given the ebb and flow of things, Quirrell's failure was inevitable.
Something that is bound to happen, there is nothing to be happy about, and there is no need to brag about it. If possible, Ada would like to fight Benedict Foley again to regain the face she lost. Unfortunately, unless someone robs the prison, Ada will have no chance to challenge her former Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.
From Benedick Foley to Glover Cecil to Quirinaxillo, every Defense Against the Dark Arts professor could relate to Ada in the three years since she enrolled. Two of them were sent away by her, and one was watched by her. Apart from anything else, Ada might really have a conflict with the wizard who teaches this course. The real Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is a killer!
After leaving the corridor on the right side of the fourth floor, Ada met Professor McGonagall who came after hearing the news. Because it was too late, the teacher and student, who had not seen each other for a long time, simply exchanged a few words and did not take up too much of each other's time.
Although Professor McGonagall didn't know where Ada had been or who she had met during this period, she believed in Dumbledore's arrangements. She also knew that Dumbledore would not fire Ada, so she did not act like Fred. As uneasy as George.
Professor McGonagall is also worried about Ada, but this worry is different from the twins. She is more worried about whether Ada will get used to being outside and whether she will get into trouble. Although there is no blood relationship between Professor McGonagall and Ada, she regards Ada as her junior, and similarly, Ida regards Professor McGonagall as her elder.
After a few words, Professor McGonagall and Ada separated. Professor McGonagall went to find Dumbledore, while Ada returned to the Gryffindor common room. Ada learned from Professor McGonagall that Ron's injury was not serious and that he had returned to the common room with the twins and Hermione, so Ada went directly back to Gryffindor's tower. If she hadn't met Professor McGonagall, Ada's trip to the school doctor's office would have been in vain.
When Ada walked into the common room that she had not seen for a long time, the twins were sitting closest to the exit waiting for her. After confirming that she had returned safely, the twins felt relieved to go back to their dormitory to rest.
After saying good night to the twins, Ada also returned to her dormitory. Pushing open the door of the dormitory, everything in front of me is so friendly, familiar beds, familiar furnishings, and familiar roommates.
Taking advantage of the hazy night, Ada quietly walked to her bed and sat down, changing into her pajamas. Lying down, Ada looked at her sleeping roommate, with a faint smile on her lips.
The early morning sun exudes soft but not dazzling light, illuminating the cozy dormitory. Alias Spinnet was the first to wake up in the dormitory. She was stroking her somewhat messy hair as she walked towards the bathroom in a daze.
After coming out of the bathroom, Aaliyah planned to lie back on the bed and continue sleeping, but she stopped when she passed Ada's bed. She rubbed her eyes to confirm again that she had seen it correctly, and then...
"Ah!" A cry woke up the remaining three people in the dormitory.
"It's so early in the morning, what's the ghost's name..." Angelina, who was woken up, turned over and went back to sleep.
Katie Bell also didn't get up to check. Aaliyah's scream was full of energy, and it didn't look like something was wrong. Katie said vaguely: "Quiet, sleep for a while to recuperate, there is a game at noon... "
Ada was also woken up by the screams. She sat up from the bed and said, "Don't make any noise. What a fuss..." After saying that, Ada lay back down again, her eyes looking from beginning to end. Haven't opened it yet.
Hearing this familiar voice, Angelina, who was sleeping on her side, suddenly opened her eyes. She sat up suddenly and saw Alia standing in front of Ada's bed, and Aida sleeping on the bed. Da.
"When did you come back?" Alia asked in surprise, "Don't sleep, get up and answer the questions."
"Who... who's back?" Katie Bell also got up, yawning as she walked to Aaliyah's side, and then she also saw Ada lying on the bed.
Ada didn't answer the question, apparently falling asleep again. Now Angelina, who was acting vigorously and resolutely, couldn't stand it anymore. She came over and stood beside Ada's bed. Aaliyah who was beside her also understood. The two of them took Ada's arms from left to right and pulled the girl lying on the bed. Ada pulled up.
It's hard for two fists to defeat four hands, and a good tiger can't fight against a pack of wolves. Under the attack of Angelina and Alia, Ada finally wakes up. She looked at her roommate helplessly and said, "Is this how you welcome your lovely roommate back?"
Angelina repeated Alia's question just now, she said: "When did you come back?"
"Last night in the middle of the night, I should have woken you all up so that you wouldn't have to sleep early in the morning." Ada said with a plaintive tone.
"Where have you been during this time? There's not even any news. They all said you were fired. Do you know how anxious we are?" Aaliyah said half-blaming and half-concerned.
"Sorry for making you worry." Ada's eyes finally opened, and she said sincerely, "I went to accept punishment, so I can't write a letter. Worrying my friends should be part of the punishment."
Aaliyah's tone softened, and she held Ada's hand and continued: "With this lesson learned, don't be so impulsive next time. It's too small for us to be afraid. If you are really fired, you will be fired." what to do."
"Next time, and next time, give them a good beating first, so as not to be like this time, where you were punished without being able to breathe a sigh of relief." Ada said seriously. When she first arrived at Nurmengard, Ada was no longer angry with those people. She was angry with herself. She was stopped by the professors before she could do anything.
Aaliya put down Ada's hand. She felt that the other party didn't hear her words at all. Instead, Angelina smiled and said, "This is the Esmeralda Drizzt I know. She hasn't changed at all."
After hearing this, not only Alia and Katie laughed, Ada also lowered her head and laughed with the three of them. Life in Nurmengard has indeed changed Ada, but no matter how much she changes, some things will never change, she is still the same person.
The bell-like laughter in the dormitory quickly attracted the attention of other girls. The girls who came to check naturally saw the "expelled" Ada, and soon the news that "Twisted Fate returned to school" spread throughout the school. .
Most students at Hogwarts have neither a good nor a bad opinion of Ada. They have no idea about Ada returning to school. Anyway, they don't have much contact with Ada, and Ada can still look for her for no reason. Are they in trouble?
These students may not care, but some people have to care about Ada coming back. For example, several Gryffindors headed by Kenneth Toller surrounded Ada last time and said some unpleasant words. They were not only dissatisfied that the school did not expel Ada, but at the same time they were worried that Ada would retaliate. them.
The Slytherin students were also dissatisfied, especially those who had learned a lesson from Ada. Moreover, Slytherin students have been very active recently, and the friction with Gryffindor has become more and more intense. For example, Flint and the others not only had friction with Gryffindor, but even fought. They were also worried that they would be retaliated against by Ada.
Judging from Ada's retaliatory behavior in the past, their worries are not unreasonable. But they didn't worry for long, because soon another news began to circulate in the school, which was even more explosive than Ada not being expelled!
