Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 480 Exposed

Everyone knows that talking too much leads to mistakes, but there is a gap between knowing and doing.

Perhaps Umbridge should not have paid attention to Ada from the beginning, and should not have paid attention to the doubts in the classroom. Although doing that would cause strong dissatisfaction from everyone, it was better than everyone looking at her like she was a fool.

In the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, facing off against the assassin of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, isn't this a real twist!

If you think you can do it, you can ask Gilderoy Lockhart and he will tell you what "no" means.

If you were being reasonable, you might be able to try to explain away what Ada said, but the so-called "approved curriculum standards" of the Ministry of Magic and Umbridge were simply untenable.

The concepts advocated in the book "Magic Defense Theory" are completely unsuitable for the magic world. They are armed with sharp blades and have murderous intentions.

Theory can be higher than practice, but it cannot be divorced from practice.

Even if you are eloquent and can turn black into white, even if you are eloquent and can persuade good families to go to sea and old ladies to be good, the premise of all this is that the other party is willing to listen to you and sit down to talk to you.

Some people can use their mouths to kill villains. Isn't it because those villains have serious illnesses in their minds and they gave them a chance to speak?

For example, the man who resisted rice in the village, or the god of thief who beat himself to death...

But what if the villain is not mentally ill and doesn't listen to you at all?

The Cruciatus Curse and the big melon are sent to you to see Merlin. You can only die holding "Magical Defense Theory" without even a chance to say "The Ministry of Magic mistaken me".

After meeting Merlin, Merlin asked you how you died. You told Merlin everything, and also accused the villain of not practicing martial ethics and not giving you a chance to speak eloquently...

Merlin might not even wait for you to finish speaking, and just slap you against the wall, making you unable to unbutton the button.

If you completely give up taking the initiative and expect others to be merciful, and expect others to be merciful and kind to you, isn't this because you think you are not dying fast enough?

Umbridge's remarks are untenable, and she cannot defend herself. Besides using her status as a professor to pressure others into confinement, what else can she do?

Umbridge can't do anything, and Ada is not afraid of the Ministry of Magic at all, but treats it as a joke.

As for the professor's identity, unless the professor's name is Minerva McGonagall, it won't work for anyone.

The girly toad turned its back to the students, and hurriedly returned to the podium with its short legs taut.

Umbridge pulled a roll of pink parchment from her handbag, spread it out on the podium, dipped her quill in the inkwell, and began writing hastily.

The students all held their breaths. Ada had won the decisive battle in this class, but this had no effect and could not change the status quo of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

Ada won, but the students did not win, or even suffered a complete defeat.

No one in the classroom spoke, not even Ada, but she was communicating with the twins with her eyes.

After a minute or so, Umbridge rolled up the pink parchment, tapped it with her short wand, and sealed the parchment with the writing firmly.

"Drizzt, take this to Professor McGonagall," Umbridge said in a cooing voice, and waved gently, but there was no expression on her slack face.

Ada walked towards Umbridge silently without saying a word. The only sound in the whole classroom was the scraping of tables and chairs as she stood up.

The students were all looking at Ada, wanting to see how she would choose, whether to accept the punishment of confinement or continue to argue. Fred and George were also looking at Ada, but their faces were full of theatrical expressions.

Whether it was a coincidence or an eye error, everyone was surprised to find that Ada under the podium was actually taller than Umbridge standing on the podium!

Reaching out her hand, Ada pinched the pink parchment with two fingers in disgust.

This action made Umbridge even more angry, and her eyes became sinister. She kept thinking of ways to deal with Ada in her mind.

After receiving the letter, Ada did not leave the classroom. She looked at the classmates in the classroom and said slowly: "I think everyone may be wondering why the Ministry of Magic wants you to study "Magical Defense Theory". It is useless to study such a book. A useful book for the year you are about to graduate."

"Shut up! Drizzt!" Umbridge shouted in panic.

"That's because the Ministry of Magic is afraid of Dumbledore." Ada said as she walked in the classroom. "No, to be precise, Cornelius Fudge is afraid of Dumbledore. He is worried that Dumbledore will take away his position as Minister of Magic. .”

At this point, Ada laughed, and the students present also laughed.

Even Slytherin students have to admit that if Dumbledore wanted to be Minister, he would have been decades ago.

"Shut up! I told you to shut up! Drizzt!" Umbridge yelled at the top of her lungs. Her voice was no longer squeaky, but made people feel much more pleasant.

Umbridge wanted to stop Ada from talking and teach Ada a lesson, but the students in the classroom made her wary of using magic directly.

There was no other way, so Umbridge had no choice but to shout and run down the podium to try to catch Ada. And Ada was walking in the aisle between the two rows of desks talking, as if she was the teacher of this class.

She said: "Fudge believes that Dumbledore intends to get involved in the position of Minister of Magic. He believes that Dumbledore is recruiting troops and cultivating cronies in the school. He believes that everyone here will become Dumbledore's army and will follow Dumbledore. A bloody charge to capture the Ministry of Magic."

Ada walked past several Gryffindors and walked towards Slytherin in the classroom.

Behind her, Umbridge was chasing after her, but when Umbridge passed the Gryffindor student, she tripped over one foot and fell hard to the ground.

Stopping in front of a Slytherin, Ada knocked on the table and asked: "Will you become Dumbledore's army and obey his command completely? Don't be afraid, I am not the Ministry of Magic and will not use my words to Sinful.”

"No." The student said.

"Very good, you are very honest, which is a very noble quality." Ada said.

Then, Ada asked several Slytherins in succession and got the same answer - no. After walking past Slytherin, Ada asked Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, but the answers she got were either silent or "No."

Umbridge's face turned red, even brighter than the pink cardigan she was wearing.

"I think you have heard it, Senior Deputy Minister." Ada said, "Do these answers make you feel relieved and let you no longer focus on Hogwarts, but use it where it should be used? ."

After much effort, Umbridge finally got up from the ground. She looked at the Gryffindor students around her fiercely, but the little lions regarded her as nothing.

"You heard it all, Undersecretary Umbridge," Fred said loudly, "Say something back!"

"No, no, she is a professor now," Lee Jordan continued, "She should be called Professor Umbridge!"

George immediately refuted Lee Jordan, saying: "You are wrong. Do you think Deputy Minister Umbridge has done something that a professor should do?"

Walking up to Umbridge, Ada looked at her condescendingly. It's not that Ada meant to humiliate her, it was actually the height difference between the two.

"I don't care how stupid Fudge is, and I can't control it. But this is Hogwarts, this is the school, and it's the place where students study. Please don't bring those dirty thoughts here, Deputy Minister Umbridge. !”

As she said that, Ada raised the pink parchment in her hand and said: "As for your confinement and this, I don't accept it. Again, this is Hogwarts. If you want to show off the power of an official, please Go back to your Ministry of Magic!"

Ada's fingertips ignited orange-red flames, and the flames instantly swallowed up the pink parchment.

Letting go of his hand, the burning pink parchment fell and burned out when it hit the ground, leaving no trace at all.

"I will not come to class again. I don't want to turn myself into a useless person because of Fudge's selfish desires."

After speaking, Ada walked out of the classroom without looking back. Then Fred and George left without hesitation. Angelina, Aaliyah and Lee Jordan looked at each other, then the three of them stood up and left the classroom together.

Cedric Diggory, who was sitting among the Hufflepuffs, was hesitant. He wanted to leave, but he thought of his father, who worked in the Ministry of Magic.

After a while, the hesitation in Cedric's eyes disappeared. He stood up and strode out of the classroom.

After Cedric Diggory, several more students followed. But compared to the few who left, the majority of students chose to stay.

After all, bravery only belongs to a few people.
