Chapter 338 Snape’s Revenge
In fact, based on Ada's grades and abilities, whether she works as an Auror at the Ministry of Magic or goes to St. Mungo's to become a therapist, she can do her best.
But after all, this was Ada's first time saving someone. She had always killed people before, so she felt a little unreasonable, so she didn't boast in front of the twins that she had cured the disease in Haikou.
From the perspective of a Muggle doctor, Ada's techniques and handling methods were definitely unprofessional, and she was indeed unprofessional. She just copied what she had seen before.
To be on the safe side, Ada had used up an entire bottle of disinfectant. If Madam Pomfrey saw her being such a spendthrift, the rejuvenating healer would probably want to beat Ada to death.
At the same time, Ada also used a healing spell on Blake's wound to help the wound heal. It can be said that Ada did everything she could, and the rest depends on whether Blake can survive it.
At this moment in the castle, we don’t know how Madam Pomfrey was feeling after discovering that she had lost a bunch of potions, but Snape’s mood can be roughly guessed.
The twins took a lot of raw materials from Snape's personal storage room. In order to conceal their true purpose, they also took a lot of other unused things, but none of this was hidden from Snape's eyes.
At Hogwarts, the only person who dared to take advantage of the Potions Professor's secret ideas was Ada. Although Hermione had done it before, the little girl's method was too clumsy and could not be compared with Ada and the twins.
Although Fred and George tried to cover up, in Snape's view it was an attempt to cover up the truth.
The Potions Professor had no intention of asking Ada what she wanted to do, but it was essential to teach Ada a lesson. Snape had probably already conceived a plan by now.
Ada, who was preparing the blood-replenishing potion, didn't know anything about it, and she didn't know that the "danger" was quietly approaching.
"Ada," asked George, who was helping to process the raw materials, "do you want to tell Dumbledore about this?"
"It depends on Black's recovery." Ada picked up the bottle containing Salamander blood and dropped a few drops into the crucible. "If his condition does not continue to worsen, I don't plan to tell Dumbledore for the time being."
Telling Dumbledore about Black was the safest way to deal with it. Regardless of whether there was any doubt about Black or how injured he was, Dumbledore would take care of it.
In this way, although Ada does not have to bear any responsibility, it is unknown whether she can continue to participate in the follow-up of the "Blake Escape Incident".
Although Dumbledore expressed doubts about the "Black Escape" itself, Ada was not sure whether Dumbledore would be able to satisfy his curiosity after learning the truth.
Moreover, Ada didn't want to rely on Dumbledore for everything. There would always be a day when he couldn't be relied upon.
So Ada made a seemingly irresponsible and troublesome decision. She must not only cure Black but not let Black escape from her hands, and at the same time protect Black and prevent Mr. Fugitive from being found by the Ministry of Magic.
This is simply asking for trouble!
After adding Hokrapu juice to the crucible, the pot of blood-replenishing potion is basically completed. The liquid in the crucible has turned blood red, and when it turns light red, it can be taken by Blake.
Hokrapu juice is a substance extracted from Hokrapu. The magic potion made from it has a healing effect. When used with white essence, the effect will be better.
The plant, native to Northern Europe, looks like a fleshy pink mushroom covered in black bristles. Goblins love to fill their bellies with Horkrap.
As the night grew darker, Ada returned to Blake's hospital bed, and Mr. Fugitive had not yet woken up. Ada walked around the room with her wand, burning blue flames rising wherever she walked.
Fred and George had seen the flames last year, so they wouldn't have been surprised if the flames didn't ignite anything in the house.
The flames in a circle continued to spread outward. After touching the doors, windows, and walls, the flames not only did not stop, but burned upward along the walls, and finally met on the roof of the room. Only then did the blue flames gradually extinguish.
"Okay, this way, no one can come in except us. Even if Blake wakes up, he can't escape." Ada said, "This magic will automatically identify people who pass by the flames. If they are with me, If someone with different opinions passes by, he will be burned to ashes.”
Then Ada went to the door and window, and added a confusion spell and an expulsion spell to the door and window respectively to prevent someone from breaking into the room without knowing it and dying.
After taking protective measures, the tiredness of a day's work immediately came over. Neither Ada nor the twins returned to the castle, but chose to stay in the Twilight Cottage for the night.
Fortunately, the Fat Lady, the dormitory aunt, was only responsible for opening and closing the door, and was not responsible for checking the bed. Otherwise, Ada and the twins' behavior of staying out at night would have been discovered immediately, and Sirius Black would have been exposed immediately.
For the next few days, everything went as usual in the school, and no one discovered that the fugitive from Azkaban was hiding in the Twilight Cabin.
In addition to attending classes and Quidditch training, the twins also went to the hut to look after Black. As for Ada, Ada didn't have much time to go to the hut. She was suffering Snape's personal revenge.
Snape didn't even wait for the fifth-year students to go to Potions class. His revenge was on Ada on Monday. The "crime" was that Ada failed to perform her duties as a prefect and failed to catch the fleeing Black.
It's simply nonsense. This crime is as harsh as it sounds. If this can be used to punish Ada, then everyone in the Ministry of Magic will be punished.
But Snape didn't need to be reasonable. What the Potions Professor needed was a "fault." Snape's original "crime" was that Ada washed her hair too many times and the smell of the shampoo was very pungent.
Well, Ada still prefers to admit that she failed to fulfill her duties as a prefect and failed to catch Blake, rather than the pungent smell of shampoo.
It didn't matter if the reason was weird, Ada was already prepared to be made things difficult by Snape, but she didn't expect Snape's revenge to come so quickly and violently.
This confinement was a real confinement, and Ada was assigned to scrub the trophy room and clean the girls' bathroom. At the same time, Ada also had to work for Snape for free at night, dealing with the raw materials for potions that were needed for the lower students.
Flobber caterpillar mucus, leech juice, mouse tails, spider legs, beetle eyes, etc. Whatever looked disgusting or was troublesome to handle, Snape would prepare it for Ada. Everything was designed to make Ada feel Uncomfortable purpose.
Snape would also tease Ada about why she was being punished the way she was.
Ada, on the other hand, pretended not to understand what Snape was talking about. She recognized that Snape had no evidence and refused to admit it even if he died.
In the past few days, Ada was living in dire straits. Compared with Ada, Harry was like living in paradise.
Although Harry's Marauder's Map was confiscated by Professor Lupin and his trip to Hogsmeade was exposed, Hermione reconciled with Harry and Ron because of Buckbeak.
The three of them are in harmony as before, and are all preparing for Hagrid and Buckbeak's appeal.
On the other side, Blake can be considered to be living in paradise. From hiding in the cave and living an ignoble existence to the luxurious life in the Twilight Cabin, it is a complete qualitative leap.
Both humans and ghosts are showing off, but Ada is the only one "getting beaten". It's really hard for her.
Fortunately, Blake's physical condition is gradually improving, and he is no longer so weak that he can't even speak. After suffering so much, Ada's curiosity was finally satisfied.
